It’s only been a day since we went through the review of Nokia N86 8MP – the first cameraphone with a 28mm wide-angle lens. And we already have the Samsung Pixon12 on our hands – the first 12 megapixel cameraphone to ever hit the market and not only that, but also the first 12 megapixel cameraphone with the same luring 28mm wide-angle lens as on the Nokia N86 8MP.
If you’ve gone through the Nokia N86 8MP review comments like we did, you’ve probably noticed there are a lot of people out there that consider us… well, biased. We wish we had a dime every time some of you accused us of that.
Lately it seems you find us a bit too harsh on Nokia. The truth however is that we aren’t, it’s just that once top-of-the-line, Nokia products now come with less and less pioneering spirit.
On the other hand you are more than welcome aboard to see how Samsung have been treating us, regular users, and what they have to offer with the Samsung M8910 Pixon12. And bear in mind that they even have a rumored Samsung M8920 in the works – a 12 megapixel cameraphone with 3x optical zoom. How about that, Nokia? But we digress.
Today’s show is all about Samsung M8910 Pixon12. We will most probably have a more detailed preview of the device ready for publishing some time tomorrow, but that stuff is too hot to keep it all to ourselves. So we went out of the box with this one, and we’ll be publishing only camera samples today. We’re just dying to find out what you make of our impromptu shootout with some quite unusual peers.
Moonshine-Duo Rock Band!
Hi Guys/Girls,
Well this news is not mobile related. But this is good news. Two of my friends, Hamza Farooq and Varun Menon have formed a Rock Band called “Moonshine“. The is the only Duo Rock Band in the country of Bahrain (where I live) and is a one of a kind band which combines Rock and Comedy. They have just recorded their first song and hence I decided to give them a little publicity.
Their song may seem little out of place but these guys are good and do not make conclusions before listening to the full song. I request the readers of Cellular to support them.
Check out their Web Page and Songs Here
Thank You
Sandeep

Nokia N86 8MP Review-GSMArena
You may’ve thought Nokia lost their touch, you may be out of love with the Nseries but the Nseries are always keeping an eye on you. Their wide-angle, variable aperture eye. On you. Whether the Nokia Nseries are making up the ground lost in the megapixel race or claiming back what they believe is rightfully theirs, they seem to have the right leadership to put them back on the megapixel map.
Armed with one of the most advanced cameras in terms of hardware and features you don’t just find on every other handset out there, the N86 8MP is keen to take cue from the N85 and shake the Nseries out of their slumber. Now, in case you forgot, it’s still the market leader we’re talking about here, and that should probably tell why everybody is so worked up.
So, the question as always is whether strong performance will deliver on that awesome promise. And you’ve got us to help you make a more informed decision about buying Nokia N86 8MP. Given all the comments above, the N86 8MP is more the kind to encourage impulsive spending but you’ll choose wisely not to miss our write-up.
HTC MAX 4G Review-GSMArena
Guns at the ready fellas, we have a big game in our sights here. The HTC MAX 4G is paying us a visit in an attempt to prove that its relatively low popularity is only due to its very limited availability. With WiMAX connectivity and one of the most complete feature sets in the WinMo realm, it’s a claim that might have some credibility.
The HTC MAX 4G was never bound to stardom, just heading to the right place. Making sense on the right market is what matters here and some handsets can only envy the MAX 4G focus. Having already previewed its Touch HD sibling we are pretty confident HTC know the touchscreen drill. But you shouldn’t take anything for granted in this business so a thorough review is certainly in order.
The HTC MAX 4G is a Touch HD – add or take – and that’s not a bad place to start. The WiMAX enabled handset skimps on 3G and that might just reduce it to a niche device with limited appeal. Or is there anything else to spoil the package? We are just about to find that out so sit down, take the weight off your feet and get ready to be treated to the MAX.
Samsung i8910 OMNIA HD Pictures!
Thanks to Centrino for the pictures.
Gather ’round ye gadget lovers, for the tale of Samsung I8000 Omnia II. It’s a tale of PocketPC wisdom and touch wizardry, of big screen and pixel aplenty, of ancestry and identity. Lend an ear to this preview as we try to figure out where this creature came from and where it’s heading.
Samsung announced the Omnia HD a few months ago and despite sharing a name with the i900 Omnia, it was more a descendant of the Samsung i8510 INNOV8 with its Symbian OS and strong emphasis on imaging.
Coming a year later, the Samsung I8000 Omnia II is the real proper sequel instead.
It’s a smartphone-eat-smartphone world and touchscreen multimedia gadgets are the elite squad. But non-smart devices want a piece of the action too, so all sides in this entertaining campaign are throwing everything they have on the battlefield. A mighty contender is rising from the Samsung camp and we had an exclusive meet-and-greet as it marches to the end user.
The Samsung S8000 is not a smartphone alright, but it sure has jet-set kind of talent. Multimedia is definitely its game with a 5 megapixel shooter, cool music player and D1 video recording. The best thing though is that the Jet lives up to its name with simply no gaps in the specs. Fast data, including impressive upload speed, a high-res OLED screen and DivX/XviD support are topped with Wi-Fi and GPS, so the S8000 Jet makes a strong bid for a full time job as a multi-skilled full touch sidearm.
