Apart from Nokia, Apple,Motorola,HTC, LG, Samsung, there are many other cell phone manufacturers in the industry.For some of them, I believe that you never heard their names.The Sonim Technology, a cell phone manufacturer,has officially announced a new cell phone with the name of Sonim X2 Spirit.Thank you for the support from Gorilla Glass,the X2 Spirit cell phone features a resistant screen, and this makes the phone very suitable for workers.
It would be my mistake,if we do not talk about the inside feature of this phone.The X2 Spirit runs BREW version 3.1.5 operative system, as well as a Qualcomm MSM 6280. In terms of other features, the device includes a MicroSD memory cards slot which supports up to 8GB storage,a 3.0 mp camera, 40MB internal memory, as well as a tri-band phone.
The X2 Spirit will be firstly launched in Europe at some point next month,but we have no word on the price right now.
The iPad e-book reader has been officially announced several weeks before, and now there is a fuss about the price of different types of ebook readers. And there are some reports on the prices of TV shows. Leslie Moonves, the CEO of CBS very recently reports that the company plans to sell some of their TV shows via Apple iPad at a price 0.99 dollar.
Currently, there is no word from the competitor of CBS, however, if the CBS can achieve some great successes, I am pretty sure that more company will sell their TV show via Apple. Besides, the deal is also a great achievement for Apple iPad and its consumers.
I agreed that the future cell phones will be more resistant and robust to damage. And they can be taken around, and if you bring the phone on a go, your might lost phone, in that case, the future cell phones, should also be able to survive during that bad situation. And if you are looking for such a phone, then you may need to consider the Samsung Convoy.
The Convoy is a flip cell phone with VCAST and VZ Navigator, a phone book which can store up to a thousand number and name entries ( Even places for notes about person, street address, and email addresses.) 90 megs of memory, Bluetooth connectivity, notepad, world clock, stopwatch, alarm clock, speakerphone, a calendar, a calculator, GPS, a 2.0 megapixel camera, a battery which can last up to four hours of talking time, many games, and a microSD cards.
Besides, the Samsung Convoy is much like the Motorola Barrage, which offers protection against something which is called “salt fog”, temperature variants, shock, dust and humidity.
Anyway, the Convoy cell phone looks like a kind of sturdy cell phone which is more sturdy then other usual devices. However, the device is lack of great features, the phone even do not have FM radio. All in all, the device is a good cell phone, but basic one.
