China Telecom Palm Pre

China Telecom is in talks with Palm about offering the Pre smartphone in China, intensifying the race between Chinese carriers to win 3G users by offering attractive handsets. China Telecom is also talking with Palm about offering other handsets and is still in talks with Research In Motion (RIM) about offering a version of the BlackBerry, an investor relations representative said Friday. The move adds to efforts by China Telecom and its rivals to offer fashionable 3G handsets from Western companies.
Local carrier China Unicom said Friday it had reached a 3-year deal with Apple to offer the iPhone in China, and China Mobile, the world’s largest carrier by subscribers, appears set to launch a Dell smartphone. A device called the Dell mini3i is listed beside handsets supported by China Mobile’s new application download store. China Telecom knows it needs good handsets to attract more 3G users, the representative said. Nokia also plans to launch a 3G handset with China Telecom this year, and Motorola may launch two, she said. China’s carriers are also moving toward offering low-priced handsets to attract 3G subscribers. China Telecom and its distributors have ordered 4 million 3G phones from handset makers to sell in China, and most will be priced between 500 yuan (US$73) and 1,000 yuan, the company representative said. The phones will have low prices because 3G services are popular among college students and other young people with low income, she said

The chairman of China Mobile said this week that smartphone sales would greatly increase if their prices can fall below 1,000 yuan.

The China Telecom representative declined to give further details on the company’s talks with Palm and RIM.

Nokia N97 TS QWERTY

Nokia has finally released a QWERTY-slider smartphone in the Nokia N97, a new Nseries superphone that will reach the global market sometime in the first half of this year. The Nokia N97 (specs) features a touchable 16:9 widescreen display, and will improve upon the standard Symbian S60 OS with a UI improved for touch input, as well as home page widgets of favorite Web services and social networking sites….. Nokia claims that the Nokia N97 will use a browser than can display Flash animation, which would put it at the head of the mobile browser pack. Like the Nokia 5800, the Nokia N97 will support Flash Lite 3.0 and Flash Video.
Unfortunately we didn’t get to see the Nokia N97’s Web browser in action, as the hands-on preview we were offered in New York City, to coincide with the phone’s launch at Nokia World in Barcelona, was anything but hands-on. We saw slide shows of the device, and a couple prototype models from arms length, but we were specifically forbidden from touching the device. This isn’t so uncommon, as we were similarly forbidden from touching the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 when it was launched. Both of those phones were announced months, even whole quarters ahead of their actual ship date.

Nokia N Series Music Range

f there's one thing that's certain, the current 'big thing' in mobile technology convergence is adding a decent music player to a mobile phone. People wondered what the next steps for mobile phones would be. We got cameras. The networks wanted to cash in on MMS, but that never really took off. But taking pictures on a mobile phone? That's pretty much a normal thing these days.
The trend for improving cameras in phones continues. And now the target is digital music. Nokia will point out that all their recent phones were music capable. From the 6230i onwards, a decent music player has been avaialble. The new N Series music phones focus on the music capabilities.
The first N91 offered an integrated 4GB hard drive. The new N91 music has dispensed with this. And replaced it with an amazing 8GB hard drive, offering capacity for up to 6,000 songs.

The N91 music offers dedicated music keys, synchronisation with Windows media player& bluetooth connectivity support.
