Samsung Galaxy W to launch on Three network in the UK next month
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGALAXY W
Samsung-thusiasts in the UK will be happy to know that the brand spanking new Galaxy W is coming to the British Three network in September. Just yesterday, we caught a glimpse of this beaut running Gingerbread with a 3.7-inch WVGA touchscreen, 5 megapixel camera, 4GB of internal memory, a 1.4GHz processor and HDSPA connectivity. Those on Three can also expect the new line of BlackBerrys -- the Curve 9360, the Torch 9810 and the Bold 9900 -- soon, as well as the white Samsung Galaxy S II and the Sony Ericsson Xperia ray sometime in September. We hope to get some hands-on time with the W at IFA in Berlin next week -- roadtrip anyone?

Motorola DROID BIONIC battery life hinted in photos
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaDROID BIONIC
The Motorola DROID BIONIC is supposed to sport the above average battery life that we are accustomed to give Motorola credit for with its Android handsets running Texas Instruments silicon. It was also confirmed by a tester a few weeks ago.
A few photos have now emerged that show the battery meter at different stages during a DROID BIONIC usage. Up to the 60% mark the phone had been hooked up to Verizon's 3G network, and lasted about 15 hours. Then the user flipped the LTE switch, and the phone ate 10% more in four hours, arriving with the 4G connectivity on at the 25-hour mark, and still having 15% of juice left.

Sony Ericsson may be working on its next flagship, codenamed Nozomi; SK19i cancelled
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSony Ericsson
Rumor has it that a new Sony Ericsson flagship smartphone is baking over at the company's busy kitchen. Codenamed Nozomi, the said device will allegedly pack a 4.3-inch 720p display, which is shaping up to become the next standard among cutting-edge handsets. Furthermore, a 1.4GHz chip will supposedly be ticking under its hood, yet the rumor does not clarify whether it will be of the dual-core kind or not.
However, we are witnessing a bit of a rumor clash here as previous speculations suggested that the flagship spot in Sony Ericcson's portfolio was reserved for the Xperia Duos. As far as the rumors are to be believed, the Sony Ericsson Xperia Duos is to feature a 1.4GHz dual-core processor...

Remember that cute little Micro Four Thirds camera that Olympus unveiled in June? Well, we just got word that the PEN E-PM1 Mini will ship next month, with an equally petite $500 price tag -- including a 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens. The company is positioning the 12.3 megapixel camera as an upgrade for point-and-shoot users, as "the easiest PEN to use," thanks to a new, simpler user interface and 23 Scene-Select modes.

Possible iPhone 5 frame hints new antenna, new inside
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4s
A newly spotted frame obtained by iPatchiPods has hinted that either the iPhone 5, the 8GB iPhone 4, or both will have a redesigned antenna structure. Where the AT&T iPhone 4 has the antenna breaks on the steel frame on the bottom of its left side and the top left, and the CDMA iPhone 4 has both at the top of the sides, the model shown to MacRumors has two at the bottom.
On the current CDMA model, the antennas were placed to account for the different behavior of the radio. The frame shown here has a SIM slot, though whether it's dual-mode or not is still uncertain.

Sony website uses augmented reality to test TVs in rooms
Like UnlikeFiled in: TVsSony
Sony UK is offering an online tool that helps perspective TV buyers visualize how a screen would look in their own house. The TV Size Guide is a web-based app that will create images of different size TVs superimposed over a rendering of a wall of their apartment or house. The would-be buyer can then compare different sizes and then get detailed information on the best fit.
Using the tool is straightforward. The user first downloads and prints out a "marker". The marker is then placed either on a wall or on top of a piece of furniture where the TV will go. The user then snaps a picture of the marker in position and uploads it to Sony's special site. The app then creates an image of a TV in ...

Sony plans full-frame Alpha camera
Like UnlikeFiled in: CamerasSony
Sony has confirmed that it still intends to offer a full-frame camera in its Alpha cameras. The company tipped its hand to the BJP at a recent news conference in Athens when it unveiled the crop-frame, translucent mirror Alpha A65 and A77. The company declined to provide any further details.
Sony currently uses cropped, APS-C sensors in all its Alpha series cameras. A full-frame camera would incorporate a sensor that captured images in the same approximate size format as a 35mm film camera. They usually allow more light and provide the true zoom range of a lens instead of skewing it, as with the smaller sensors on most other cameras.
