The S5230 Star mobile phone was the fastest Samsung cell phone to reach the 5 million mark as the numbers of units sold month per month - 10 million seems entirely within reach.The Star sold 700 thousand units in its launched month May, 900 thousand the next month and the numbers for July and August were nearly double that - 1.6 and 1.8 million respectively. This mobile phone’s rival, the LG Cookie, also reached the 5-million milestone in July but it had a head start of several months. It too is foreseen by its creators to reach 10 million sales soon.
With more than half of the units sold there (2.8 million), Europe leads as the highest seller of this cell phone. It topped the sales lists in France, the UK, the Netherlands and Italy.One might wonder what the secret of the Samsung S5230 Star is, but think no more, this cool mobile buddy has the right formula for success – it is price friendly and feature heavy. It offers a 3" WQVGA touchscreen with Samsung's widget-enabled TouchWiz and a 3 megapixel camera with smile detection. It can handle microSD cards up to 16GB and with DNSe technology it's a music player in its own right.
Nokia N900 is now officially outed and it packs some serious stuff
Running on the new Linux-based Maemo 5 OS, the Nokia N900 power lies in the capable multi-tasking, which should make it stand out even among the ranks of the Symbian smart phones. According to Nokia reps, however, the new Maemo device is not meant to compete with the Nokia Symbian smart phones, but instead cater for different market needs.With Nokia N900 you’ve got around-the-clock connectivity thanks to Wi-Fi and HSPA. The N900 offers phone features as well allowing full-featured telephony.
Nokia N900 runs on the Linux-based Maemo 5.0 OS
The Nokia N900 packs a powerful ARM Cortex-A8 CPU much like the Apple iPhone 3GS, Palm Pre and Samsug Omnia HD and offers hardware graphics acceleration and 256MB RAM.
Switching between applications is simple, as all running content is constantly available through the dashboard. The panoramic homescreen can be fully personalized with favorite shortcuts, widgets and applications. We wonder however how many of those features will be available in portrait mode though, as Maemo is Tablet OS that's hardly been put to use in portrait mode before.
Interaction with the handset is available through the large 3.5-inch touchscreen display with a WVGA resolution (800 x 480 pixels) and the 3-row QWERTY keypad. The touch screen also offers a virtual on-screen keyboard and operating with a stylus is possible, though one doesn’t seem to be included with the N900 itself.
