Vertu Ascent Ti – One Of The Costliest Mobile Phones Launched In India!

Vertu, Nokia’s premium mobile phone brand, has launched its next generation of Ascent handsets called Vertu Ascent Ti collection, in the Indian market. Finely built and designed in England, Vertu Ascent Ti mobile phone features a quad band, 3G handset, 3 mega pixel flash VGA camera and comes in three colors, namely black or red leather with a black ceramic pillow or brown with a silver ceramic pillow.

Christened as 'Ti,' the chemical symbol for Titanium, because of High Performance Titanium, the non-corrosive element with the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any metal and an ability to withstand extreme temperatures, usually found in sports car engines, Vertu Ascent Ti mobile phone is designed using the material cues from high performance sports car balances with a distinctly masculine edge. The phone has shiny and well sculpted curves of a powerful car with illuminating onscreen chronograph and keypad.

According to Vertu, the Ascent mobile phone series is characterized by the influence of the power, energy, and sheer precision of a beautiful car.

Commenting on the Vertu Ascent Ti mobile phone line, Frank Nuovo, the Vertu Principal Designer, said, “From the start the Vertu Ascent has been heavily influenced by the power, energy, and sheer precision of a beautiful car; with the Vertu Ascent Ti, this vision has been developed further using the high grade materials, design detail, technical superiority and unsurpassed performance associated with the luxury sports car industry. The result is a highly crafted handset of precision, balance and strength.”

Snuggled into tanned cow-hide leather, the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal face and highly polished ceramic, the Vertu Ascent Ti phone line has been unleashed, after having a series of rigorous tests of every aspect, from sound quality to extreme robustness. The phone line has three most melodious ring tones composed by David Arnold, the composer behind many James Bond soundtracks.

As far as security is concerned, ‘Vertu Fortress’ technology ensures a remote synchronization of contacts and calendar, notes and backs up all stored data to a high security server maintained in an ex-military bunker at a secure location in the English countryside.

The phone allows the users to access the Vertu concierge service via just one click of a button and this service is available 24 hours even if you are in another part of the world. The service lets the users to have queries regarding local restaurants, booking movie tickets or even sending gifts around the world, solved. Vertu Ascent Ti is available for Rs 3, 26,000.

XDR2

XDR2 DRAM is a type of Dynamic Random Access Memory that is offered by Rambus. It was announced on July 7, 2005 and the specification for which was released on March 26, 2008.[citation needed] Rambus has designed XDR2 as an evolution of, and the successor to, XDR DRAM.

XDR2 DRAM is intended for use in high-end graphics cards and networking equipment.

As a fabless semiconductor company, Rambus only produces a design; it must make deals with memory manufacturers to produce XDR2 DRAM chips, and there has been a notable lack of interest in doing so.

ignaling

In addition to a higher clock rate (up to 800 MHz), the XDR2 differential data lines transfer data at 16 times the system clock rate, transferring 16 bits per pin per clock cycle. This "Hex Data Rate" is twice XDR's 8× multiplier. The basic burst size has also doubled.

Unlike XDR, memory commands are also transmitted over differential point-to-point links at this high data rate. The command bus varies between 1 and 4 bits wide. Even though each bit requires 2 wires, this is still less than the 12-wire XDR request bus, but it must grow with the number of chips addressed.

[edit]Micro-threading

There is a basic limit to how frequently data can be fetched from the currently open row. This is typically 200 MHz for standard SDRAM and 400–600 MHz for high-performance graphics memory. Increasing interface speeds require fetching larger blocks of data in order to keep the interface busy without violating the internal DRAM frequency limit. At 16×800 MHz, to stay within a 400 MHz column access rate would require a 32-bit burst transfer. Multiplied by a 32-bit wide chip, this is a minimum fetch of 128 bytes, inconveniently large for many applications.

Typical memory chips are internally divided into 4 quadrants, with left and right halves connected to different halves of the data bus, and top or bottom halves being selected by bank number. (Thus, in a typical 8-bank DRAM, there would be 4 half-banks per quadrant.) XDR2 permits independently addressing each quadrant, so the two halves of the data bus can fetch data from different banks. Additionally, the data fetched from each half-bank is only half of what is needed to keep the data bus full; accesses to an upper half-bank must be alternated with access to a lower half-bank.

This effectively doubles the number of banks and reduces the minimum data access size by a factor of 4, albeit with the limitation that accesses must be spread uniformly across all 4 quadrants.

INTEL CPU

Intel Core is a brand name used for various mid-range to high-end consumer and business microprocessors. In general, processors sold as Core are more powerful variants of the same processors marketed as entry-level Celeron and Pentium. Similarly, identical or more capable versions of Core processors are also sold as Xeon processors for the server market.

The current lineup of Core processors includes the latest Intel Core i7 and Intel Core i5 and the older Core 2 Solo, Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad and Core 2 Extreme lines.

Intel Core Duo (product code 80539) consists of two cores on one die, a 2 MB L2 cache shared by both cores, and an arbiter bus that controls both L2 cache and FSB access. Upcoming steppings of Core Duo processors will also include the ability to disable one core to conserve power.

Intel Core Solo (product code 80538) uses the same two-core die as the Core Duo, but features only one active core. This allows Intel to sell dies that have a manufacturing defect in one but not both of the cores[citation needed]. Depending on demand, Intel may also simply disable one of the cores to sell the chip at the Core Solo price—this requires less effort than launching and maintaining a separate line of CPUs that physically only have one core. Intel used the same strategy previously with the 486 CPU in which early 486SX CPUs were in fact manufactured as 486DX CPUs but the FPU failed quality control and the connection was physically severed.

Intel unveils new ‘Atom' processor: 11 processors on a penny

Get ready for a new brand in the already cluttered world of tech marketing. Intel has chosen Atom as the name for its super small low-power processor formerly known as Silverthorne, due to be launched during next month's IDF in Shanghai.

Silverthorne - sorry, we mean Atom - is the child of a ground-up effort to create a new processor for the ultra-mobile market, ranging from UMPCs to mobile Internet devices. There's even the chance it could pop up in a future generation of the iPhone.

Small wonder: Intel's own concept mobile Internet device typifies the products that will run on its Atom 'Silverthorne' processorHowever, Intel also sees Atom as becoming the powerplant of "a new class of simple and affordable Internet-centric computers" including notebooks and desktops, which Intel has respectively dubbed ‘netbooks' and ‘net-tops'. These devices will run a beefed-up variant of Silverthorne formerly codenamed Diamondville. (The name change will no doubt please the guys running the Neil Diamond tribute Web site of the same name).

MOBILE HOSTING

A video hosting service allows individuals to upload clips to an internet website. The video host will then store the video on its server, and show the individual different types of code to allow others to view this video. The website, mainly used as the video hosting website, is usually called the video sharing website.

Because many users do not have unlimited web space, either as a paid service, or through an ISP offering, video hosting services are becoming increasingly popular, especially with the explosion in popularity of blogs, forums, and other interactive pages.
The mass market for camera phones has increased the supply of user-generated video. Traditional methods of personal video distribution, such as making a DVD to show to friends at home, are unsuited to the low resolution and high volume of camera phone clips. In contrast, current broadband Internet connections are well suited to serving the quality of video shot on mobile phones. Most people do not own web servers, and this has created demand for user-generated video content hosting, which the likes of YouTube are catering to.

BLACKBERRY

BlackBerry is a line of wireless handheld devices that was introduced in 1999 as a two-way pager. In 2002, the more commonly known smartphone BlackBerry was released, which supports push e-mail, mobile telephone, text messaging, internet faxing, web browsing and other wireless information services as well as a multi-touch interface. It is an example of a convergent device. Developed by the Canadian company Research In Motion (RIM), it delivers information over the wireless data networks of mobile phone service companies. BlackBerry first made headway in the marketplace by concentrating on e-mail. RIM currently offers BlackBerry e-mail service to non-BlackBerry devices, such as the Palm Treo, through the BlackBerry Connect software. The original BlackBerry device had a monochrome display, but all current models have color displays.
While including PDA applications (address book, calendar, to-do lists, etc.) as well as telephone capabilities on newer models, the BlackBerry is primarily known for its ability to send and receive e-mail wherever it can access a wireless network of certain cellular phone carriers. Most current BlackBerry models have a built-in QWERTY keyboard, optimized for "thumbing", the use of only the thumbs to type, and there are also several models that include a standard cell phone keypad for typing, and one model that is a full touch-screen device with no physical keyboard. System navigation is primarily accomplished by a scroll ball, or "trackball" in the middle of the device (older devices used a track wheel on the side). Some models (currently, those manufactured for use with iDEN networks such as Nextel and Mike) also incorporate a Push-to-Talk (PTT) feature, similar to a two-way radio.
Modern GSM-based BlackBerry handhelds incorporate an ARM 7 or 9 processor, while older BlackBerry 950 and 957 handhelds used Intel 80386 processors. The latest GSM BlackBerry models (8100, 8300 and 8700 series) have an Intel PXA901 312 MHz processor, 64 MB flash memory and 16 MB SDRAM.[2] CDMA BlackBerry smartphones are based on Qualcomm MSM6x00 chipsets which also include the ARM 9-based processor and GSM 900/1800 roaming (as the case with the 8830 and 9500) and include up to 256MB flash memory.[3][4] The devices are very popular with some businesses, where they are primarily used to provide e-mail access to roaming employees. To fully integrate the BlackBerry into a company's systems, the installation of BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) is required, along with either Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Notes or Novell Groupwise email server applications.
On 30 May 2009, RIM announced the number of BlackBerry subscribers has reached approximately 28.5 million.

BENQ S6

BenQ sells and markets technology products, including consumer electronics, computing and communication products. Its principal products include TFT LCD monitors and televisions, digital projectors, laptops, netbooks, All-in-One PCs, digital cameras, computer keyboards, mice, optical drives, optical discs and mobile phones.
The head office is located in Taipei, and the company operates worldwide. BenQ owns and operates five branch offices in Asia Pacific, China, Europe and the Americas, and employ over 1,400+ individuals. The "BenQ" brand is present in more than 100 countries worldwide.
Benq was originally spun off from Acer in 2001 to provide a separate branded channel. In 2006 Acer disposed of its remaining shares in Benq.
On October 1, 2005, BenQ Corp. (now Qisda Corp.) acquired the mobile devices division of Germany's Siemens AG, becoming the 6th largest company in the mobile phone industry by accumulated market share. The acquisition results in a new business group, BenQ Mobile, of BenQ Corporation entirely dedicated to wireless communications. Mobile phones of the new group are marketed under a new brand, BenQ-Siemens.
On August 24, 2006 BenQ (now Qisda Corp.) announced plans to spin-off its manufacturing operations in early 2007, separating contract manufacturing and own-brand divisions.
In late September 2006, the mobile devices division of BenQ, BenQ Mobile (Germany), announced bankruptcy when BenQ Corp. (now Qisda Corp.) discontinued its funding. As a result, BenQ Mobile was effectively placed under the supervision of a state-appointed bankruptcy administrator. In February 2007, BenQ Mobile was finally disbanded as a suitable buyer could not be found. An estimated 2000 BenQ Mobile employees lost their jobs.
In April 2007, considering that the branded business has achieved sufficient profit and scale to sustain and grow its operation independently, BenQ announced the plan to spin-off its branded business. After the spin-off, BenQ Corporation will be renamed Qisda Corporation, which will focus on integrated manufacturing service business, and the spun-off company has succeeded the name of BenQ Corporation, which is a 100% owned subsidiary of Qisda Corp.
On Sept. 3 2007, the newly spun-off BenQ Corporation has commenced its new operation to continue selling and marketing products under the BenQ brand name.

SONY ERICSSON

Sony Ericsson is a joint venture established on October 1, 2001[1] by the Japanese consumer electronics company Sony Corporation and the Swedish telecommunications company Ericsson to make mobile phones. The stated reason for this venture is to combine Sony's consumer electronics expertise with Ericsson's technological leadership in the communications sector. Both companies have stopped making their own mobile phones.
The company's global management is based in Hammersmith, London, and it has research & development teams in Sweden, Japan, China, Germany, the United States, India, Pakistan and the United Kingdom. By 2008, it was the third-largest mobile phone manufacturer in the world after Nokia and Samsung.[citation needed] The sales of products largely increased due to the launch of the adaption of Sony's popular Walkman and Cyber-shot series.
While Sony Ericsson has been enjoying strong growth recently, its South Korean rival LG Electronics overtook it in Q1 2008 due to the company's profits falling significantly by 43% to €133 million (approx. US$ 179.6697 million [4]), sales falling by 8% and market share dropping from 9.4% to 7.9%, despite favourable conditions that the handset market was expected to grow by 10% in 2008. Sony Ericsson announced another profit warning in June 2008[5] and saw net profit crash by 97% in Q2 2008, announcing that it would cut 2,000 jobs, leading to wide fear that Sony Ericsson is on the verge of decline along with its struggling rival, Motorola.[6] In Q3 the profits were much on the same level, however November and December saw increased profits along with new models being released such as the C905 being one of the top sellers across the United Kingdom.
Sony Ericsson has, as of July 18, 2008, approximately 9,400 employees and 2,500 contractors worldwide. Hideki Komiyama is the president of the company and has been since November 1, 2007 when he replaced Miles Flint. The Corporate Executive Vice President is Anders Runevad.
Sony was a marginal player in the worldwide cell phone market with a share of less than 1 percent in 2000. It was also struggling in this area with losses but wanted to focus more in this area. In April 2001, Sony confirmed that it was in talks with Ericsson for a possible collaboration in the handset business. This was soon after Toshiba and Siemens had announced plans in November 2000 to work together on handsets for 3G mobile networks, which was cancelled in 2001.
By August 2001, the two companies had finalized the terms of the merger announced in April. The company was to have an initial workforce of 3,500 employees.

MOTOROLA

Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) is an American, multinational, Fortune 100,[5] telecommunications company based in Schaumburg, Illinois. It is a manufacturer of wireless telephone handsets, and also designs and sells wireless network infrastructure equipment such as cellular transmission base stations and signal amplifiers. Motorola's home and broadcast network products include set-top boxes, digital video recorders, and network equipment used to enable video broadcasting, computer telephony, and high-definition television. Its business and government customers consist mainly of wireless voice and broadband systems used to build private networks and public safety communications systems like Astro and Dimetra.
Motorola creates numerous products for use of the government, public safety officials, business installments, and the general public. These products include cell phones, laptops, computer processors, and radio communication devices. The Motorola RAZR line has sold over 120 million units bringing the company to the number two mobile phone slot in 2005.
Motorola's handset division recorded a loss of $1.2 billion in the fourth quarter of 2007, while the company as a whole earned $100 million during that quarter.[10] It lost several key executives to rivals[11] and the web site TrustedReviews has called the company's products repetitive and uninnovative.[12] Motorola laid off 3,500 workers in January 2008[13], followed by a further 4,000 job cuts in June[14] and another 20% cut of its research division a few days later.[15] In July 2008, a large number of executives left Motorola to work on Apple Inc.'s iPhone.[16] The company's handset division was also put on offer for sale.[17] In July 2008, analyst Mark McKechnie from American Technology Research said that Motorola "would be lucky to fetch $500 million" for selling its handset business and analyst Richard Windsor said that Motorola might have to pay someone to take the division off the company and that the company may even exit the handset market altogether.[18] Its global market share has been on the decline; from 18.4% of the market in 2007, it had a share of just 6.0% by Q1 2009.
Further declines in business during 2000 and 2001, caused Motorola to spin off its government and defense business to General Dynamics. The business deal closed September 2001. Thus GD Decision Systems was formed (and later merged with General Dynamics C4 Systems) from Motorola's Integrated Information Systems Group.

SONY ERICSSON

In the United States, Ericsson partnered with General Electric in the early nineties, primarily to establish a US presence and brand recognition.
Ericsson had decided to source on chips for its phones from a single source, a Philips facility in New Mexico. In March 2000, a fire at the Philips factory contaminated the sterile facility. Philips assured Ericsson and Nokia (the other major customer of the facility) that production would be delayed for no more than a week. When it became clear that production would actually be compromised for months, Ericsson was faced with a serious shortage. Nokia had already begun to obtain parts from alternative sources, but Ericsson's position was much worse as both production of current models and the launch of new ones was held up.[7]
Ericsson, which had been in the cellular phone market for decades and was the world no. 3 cellular telephone handset maker was struggling with huge losses in spite of booming sales since 2000 due to this fire and its inability to produce cheaper phones like its competitor Nokia. To curtail the losses, it was thinking of outsourcing production to Asian companies that can produce the handset for lower costs.
Speculation had begun about a possible sale by Ericsson of its mobile phone division but the company's president said that it had no plans to do that. "Mobile phones are really a core business for Ericsson. We wouldn't be as successful (in networks) if we didn't have phones", he said.

NOKIA N90

The Nokia N90 multimedia is a smartphone with two displays and Carl Zeiss optics (made by Konica Minolta). It has a 2 megapixel built-in digital camera with autofocus, 20x digital zoom, integrated flash, macro mode and the ability to record high quality video (352x288 MPEG-4 video with AAC-LC audio). The phone has no vibration feature. The screen swivels through 270 degrees so that the phone can be handled in a 'video camera' style. The camera lens also swivels to allow shots from unique angles.
It uses the Series 60 2nd Edition, Feature Pack 3 user interface and the Symbian OS 8.1a operating system. Recent revisions also ship with Version 2 of the Nokia Lifeblog software.
The N90 does not have a built-in hard disk drive like the Nokia N91 but it features 31 MB flash memory and is usually packaged with a 64 MB or 128 MB in-box DV-RS-MMC memory card. Nokia continues its recent tradition of bundling a USB data cable with the phone, previously an aftermarket item priced close to US$40. A 1 GB memory card allows storage of four hours of video on the handset.
The Nokia N90 began shipping in Q2 2005. It is available in countries such as Australia, Singapore and India, and in Q1 2006 was made available in the United States. In 2006 it was available for around the equivalent of US$720. Besides the expensive price, the Nokia N90 does have some problems as well. The size of the phone is pretty big, the phone is also very heavy and chunky, which makes it a bit unattractive to some, but the unique features of this phone are worth the trade off to others.

BENQ

BenQ-Siemens was the mobile communications subsidiary of Taiwanese BenQ Corp. The division was formed out of BenQ's acquisition of the then struggling Siemens mobile group in 2005. The stated goal of the company is to pull together BenQ's lifestyle experience, their renowned design team and Siemens' engineering capabilities to create a new leader in the mobile communications arena. The newly-formed company won the most iF design awards in 2006 and also won many design awards in Germany's reddot competition.
Unfortunately, because of BenQ stopping to pay for the German division of the company, it filed for bankruptcy in a Munich court in 2006. This sparked a big debate in Germany over whether BenQ only acquired the Siemens mobile division for all its patents and IP, and that it didn't intend to continue manufacturing mobile phones in Germany. BenQ has stated that it intends to continue its mobile business from Asia.
On January 30, 2007, the BenQ Mobile factory in Kamp-Lintfort finally closed its doors, after no suitable investors for the German division were found. Representatives of the labor union IG Metall bid farewell to the last 165 workers with flowers. [1]

Motorola AURA Mobile Phone

While it pains me to see, what could be a totally frivolous use of money on a device like a mobile phone in times of recession, I can’t help but feel a little completely and utterly envious of anyone who happens to own a handset as gorgeous as the Motorola Aura. If I had the kind of money to actually buy this handset I’d buy the Tata Nano instead, then again if I did have the money for it I’d probably own a fleet of Nanos. However, the Aura, is designed for those looking for a handset that caters to their tastes and not just features. Exclusivity and teh fact that it's a work of art aside, the big question is the Aura really worth its Rs. 1,11,492 price tag? That’s what I’m here to tell you.

Form Factor
The Aura is the first and only handset to have a full 1.5-inch circular display that employs 16 million colors, 480 pixels in diameter and a 300 dpi resolution. This stunning display is safely nestling behind scratch-resistant 62-carat sapphire crystal. The curve of the glass makes the display even more visually appealing. Encased in Stainless steel with chemically etched textures, the Aura is a sophisticated handset that shows off class and although this may seem a bit off, a bit of distinction as well. The swivel outer panel is swung around by 130 precision ball bearings and Motorola guarantees the same grace at opening, even after 100,000 times of opening and closing it. While this may hold true, I did notice that the bottom of the keypad (lower level) seemed to loose a little color as it got scratched by the upper potion each time I opened the handset.

The keypad is large and easy to use but sometimes the weight of the handset (141g) dopes make it a bit of an issue typing. The round navigation pad is only four way but all the relevant keys for activation and ‘returning’ to previous menus are close at hand. There are no other keys on the handset save the volume keys on the side that can also be used for zooming in with the camera. The other two viable buttons are merely for popping open the rear panel.

INTEX Launches 2 New Handsets

The IN 5000 is Intex's first GSM touch-screen mobile phone. It has a 2" TFT touch screen and is enveloped in a leather flap, nagating the need for a mobile cover. Other features include FM radio, mobile tracker, camera, expandable memory up to 2GB, GPRS, Bluetooth, audio and video player and a 1000 contacts phonebook memory.

The IN 5000 is priced at Rs. 5000 (MOP).

The IN 5040 is the second variant in the company's portfolio of Dual SIM phones. Offering the convenience of two phones, this model also has features like a camera, Bluetooth with A2DP (new technology for enjoying music through Bluetooth), FM radio, USB PC connectivity, expandable memory, audio and video player and a 1000 contacts phonebook memory.

LG GM200 MOBILE PHONE

Technology has hit the Indian shelves and made it in to tech2.0 for review. It’s a loaded multimedia handset that has plenty offer, but here’s what I think.Form FactorLG’s GM200 may not be an altogether attractive handset. In fact it’s rather plain and average looking for any angel. But with regards to ergonomics the handset is designed to be comfortable for usage. It has a 2.0-inch TFT LCD that sports a 176 x 220 pixel resolution (256k colors) and a large multi-language keypad with a five way nav-pad. The handset is also equipped with a set of obnoxiously loud (and I don’t necessarily men that in a bad way) stereo speakers
located on either side of the handset. On one side under the speaker is a set of Volume keys and a microSD card slot. On the other is a proprietary port for the USB and charger, a dedicated key for activating the FM radio and a camera button as well.
The GM200 has a standard 3.5mm earphone socket on top and the handsfree that is equipped with the appropriate jack. Even though the handsfree is quite decent when it comes to dishing out audio, you also have the option of listening to music via any other earphones of your personal preference. Like Nokia handsets, you can use the handset’s microphone while using your own earphones for a conversation and I have to say, the microphone has superb range. A 2 megapixel camera is located at the rear of the handset. What’s also placed here is a 2.1-inch subwoofer making the GM200 capable of providing users with a 2.1 channel audio feel
