We all knew that the mystical white iPhone 4 was eventually going to show up, it’s just been a matter of when. Now we have a semi-official time frame for this release. 9to5mac has spotted an AT&T print that clearly states that the iPhone 4 will be available in Spring 2011 (or Autumn 2011 for those of us under the equatorial line). Exciting for some, we’re sure – it’ll certainly match the rest of Apple’s white products.

But this isn’t where the news stops. Neowin has further information that suggests that the white iPhone 4 will be accompanied by a revision of the black iPhone 4 – both featuring an improved antenna, hopefully eliminating that little problem that Apple tried so hard to ignore, and then correct with free bumpers.

Apple has yet to comment on the delays, nor give an official release date for the white iPhone 4. For those of you that have forgotten what the white iPhone 4 even looks like, here’s a reminder:

Being announced on MWC in early this year, Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 is yet to released on market. The hype is enormous and people started comparing Sony’s latest mobile phone handset with Apple iPhone 4G.

Below is a Hands On video where you can see unboxing, power up, size comparison with Nexus One, HTC HD and of course the features of the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10.

Taiwanese mobile phone company, HTC, lunched as many as three smartphones at the Mobile World Congress. According to speculations in the tech world, HTC is rumored to lunch over 10 smartphones in the year 2010. If Mobile World Congress lunches are any indication to go by, it might just be true.

The HTC legend is the successor to the hugely popular HTC Hero, although, it has many differentiating features. The chin is less prominent in HTC Legend, but the striking aspect of the phone is that it’s body is carved out a single aluminum block, making it the first Android based phone with a unicasing. The trackball has been replaced by an optical track pad.

HTC Legend

Legend boasts of a 3.2 inch AMOLED screen which promises a rich experience with it’s enhanced graphics and a capititive touchscreen. It runs on Android Eclair v2.1.

It has some other nifty features like smart ringer sensor. The phone hides a G-Sensor which on detecting that a phone has been picked up, reduces the ringer volume.

The Friendstream window gets all your contacts’ Twitter, Facebook streams on one platform, very similar to the SenseUI. With Friendstream, you don’t have to go to the contacts page to access the integrated contacts.

Leap is an application that allows you to get a thumbnail sized version of your home screen which is also a great addition as it saves time.

HTC Legend is expected to hit the markets in April 2010, i.e this month.

Sansung had previously lunched their proprietary Bada OS back in November last year and at this year’s Mobile World Congress we finally got to see it in action. as Samsung unveiled their first Bada OS enabled smart phone called the Samsung Wave (S8500).

Samsung Wave has a 3.3 inch super AMOLED screen having a 800×400 pixel WVGA resolution. Normal AMOLED screens have a glass layer and an electric sensor layer separated by air, but super AMOLED has merges these two layers. This, claims Samsung, to reduces reflections by five times than a normal AMOLED screen.

Samsung Wave S8500

The phone runs on a Cortex A8 1GHz processor which is the same that runs on iPhone 3GS and the Palm Pre albeit on lower clocks. A 5MP auto focus camera is located on the rear side with an LED flash.

Wave has features like integrated contacts – which gets all the various channels of communications like Calling, Messaging, Facebook, Twitter on one screen; push to calendar – which integrates Google, Yahoo and other calendars.

Samsung claims that their main idea behind developing Bada was to make the smart phones more accessible to the masses. It is partly built on a Linux kernel and the company planes to release the Software Development Kit (SDK) to developers in March for building applications.

Samsung Apps is the application store from where you can download applications.

Sony Ericsson lunched their credit card sized smartphones Xperia 10 and Xperia 10 Mini Pro at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The most striking aspect about these phones lies in the Operating System. For the first time Sony Ericsson have used the Android OS on their phones.

Android seems to have become the preferred OS if the number of mobile phone manufacturers adopting it is anything to go by. Sony Ericsson is the newest Android convert on the block. While the Xperia X10 Mini has a touchscreen interface, the Xperia X10 Mini Pro has a QWERTY keypad which slides from beneath from it’s tiny body.

Xperia X10 Mini Pro

The basic specifications of the Xperia X10 Mini series includes a 2.55 inch TFT scratch resistant touchscreen, a 600MHz Qualcomm processor running Android OS v1.6. This sleek phone boasts of a 5 MP camera with auto focus and geotagging.

It has an interesting interface which has four contextual cornet buttons which can be customized according to your needs. Sony Ericsson’s Timescape is being hailed as an interesting feature which tends to integrate all your contacts in one place such that it is easier to access their call history, Facebook, Twitter, Messaging etc all in one screen. But then, we have seen this feature in HTC’s Sense UI, so its nothing really new.

“With the X10 Mini and X10 Mini Pro, we have pushed the boundaries of what is possible with smaller devices and are giving consumers exactly what they want; two high performance mobile phones with a fully customizable user experience platform and a stunning ultra compact design”, said Rikko Sakaguchi, EVP and Chief Creation Officer, Sony Ericsson.

Motorola Motoming A1600 is another Linux-based Motorola Mobile Phone. The A1600 has a rounded profile & comes with a transparent flip which allows one to peek at the screen it protects. The A1600 is touched-based & has a really well built exterior.

The call buttons are small but well laid out with good tactile feedback & the joypad is also easy to use. The volume buttons are on the side & comfortable to use with good tactility intuitiveness. The menu structure is easy to understand & simple. The A1600 has a large display (2.4-inches) that is quite crisp.

Motorola Motoming A1600

Although the fonts used could be better. The lack of a hardware keypad is also felt, although not as badly as on the ROKR E6 because this phone is wider, giving the onscreen keyboards a large area as well. One of the most noticeable features is the addition of a talking dictionary that can translate any world into another language & pronounced the word as it would sound very useful if you are traveling abroad. We tried it for some common words & the result were pretty good.

Other than that the 3.2-megapixel camera is useful & features auto focus & a slightly weak flash unit. Its antenna is strictly OK & call quality could have been better. The A1600 is a decent music player with good hands free quality and decent volume on the loudspeaker. If Motorola had thrown in a QWERTY package, this would be a feature-loaded device at a price of $329. As it stands, it is not a bad phone but has the odd quirk that keeps us from recommending it sans reservation.

This is a video review of Nokia N97 Firmware 20.0.0.5 from The Nokia Blog. This update will let you have kinetic scrolling and a lot of new apps in your existing N97. It also consumes less memory and freeing up and incresing the Built-in Phone Memory by 20%.

The newly introduced Applications contains some useful apps like Facebook Widget which lets you access your Facebook account easily from N97 and connect with your friends and social contacts.

It also have an app with which you can sync your contacts and calenders with Google (GMail) Contacts and Google Calender.

All the other pre-existing apps like Youtube, Flickr, Nokia Maps, OVI Store is also present. The scheduled worldwide release of this firmware upgrade is October, 2009.

This Video is about 3 Minutes and 30 Seconds long and a must watch video if you are planning to buy a new N97 or upgrade to the latest Firmware.

Below is another video from SymbianWorld,Its a long video of about 7 Minutes and 53 Seconds.

The Diamonds looks like an HTC Touch pro on a sever diet. It misses out on the hardware QWERTY & has a smaller battery which is why it is slimmer & a lot lighter. The rear seems to be more solid & is finished in glossy black but a look at the front face & you cannot tell the Diamond & the pro apart.

The name Diamond comes from the sculpted rear that has been cut at various angles to give the appearance of many sides-like its namesake. Built quality is good & the touch Diamond looks clean. It has 4GB of internal storage but no expansion. The screen is a little devoid of colors but bright & crisp enough.

HTC Touch Diamond

Fonts are clearer than on the touch viva, although not the best around. Once again the lack of a dedicated keyboard cannot made up for by the onscreen one, simply because of the prohibitively small screen size. The call buttons are touch activated & very well laid out & amply backlit, while the home & back button also aid navigation. In fact most other non-HTC devices do not have a back button & we feel this is a nifty & very utilitarian feature that is simple to implement & should be standardized on all WM devices.

The camera on this phone is decent, actually a lot better than we expected; it out performs some of the other 3.2 megapixel units in this test. The antenna is of mediocre quality & we had slight issues with clarity in zone 2.

The earpiece volume itself is quite good. The hands free is good enough for casual music listening & to make calls but music lovers obsessed with quality will find nothing of interest here. The lack of Expansion beyond the 4 GB of inbuilt memory may also turn some people off.There,s nothing special about this handset to make it stand out.

At a price tag of $350 users would surely expect more & we would expect a QWERTY keypad to make usability better.

Nokia 6600i

Just the name 6600 brings back memories of days gone by, when the egg like phone was the hottest new device in town. Even since its launch,the phone had quickly gained immense popularity. It was perhaps the first precursor of a Smartphone that anyone had seen.

So, naturally when Nokia recently announced the return of the good old dependable handset in a new avatar 6600i, we were quite excited. It better match up to its old cousin was our first thought. In the looks department,  it passes muster. On first look, the phone looks quite stunning-thanks to the brushed steel body it sports. The black version does not looks that good through. The phones got nice contours & a slide out keypad. The design has that simplistic, yet elegant appeal that makes it most stylish than other flashy models.

With a 5 MP camera with 8x zoom & dual LED flash, the phone is design for imaging & sharing. It is supposed to be the manufacturers smallest 5 MP sliding offering.  But the phone might disappoint when it comes to what it is. Or rather what it is not.  It is not a Smartphone – it is just another series 40 phone with a good camera. For it to hold a candle to the old 6600  & the place it has in out heart. It should have had at least one thing revolutionary. It does feature touch technology, but most likely it is limited to tasks such as answering or silencing calls.

Other than an impressive camera,it is got a microSD slot expandable to 16GB, 3G support & a bright 2.2-inch 240×320 TFT 16 million  colors display. It can record video at in VGA at 15 fps & QVGA at 30 fps. The phone is supposed to be specially built to make better use of Nokia’s Ovi products. You won’t have to wait too long to get a feel of it since its slated to be available in the third quarter of 2009 for 200 Euros.

We already posted the Nokia N97 Review in our blog. Since then the craze has started building.
