The Verizon Wireless Samsung Galaxy Tab offers a new level of temptation, and a new level of frustration, for would-be Android tablet owners. Verizon's hardware is identical to Sprint's (and slightly inferior to T-Mobile's), and its $599 price is the same as those carriers' no-contract rates. It's a solid device, but Verizon loads up its tablet with lots of potentially useful software, most of which fails, some disastrously.

Nokia C5-03 Review
The Nokia C5-03 is clinging onto the past with all its might. Nokia has just teamed-up with Microsoft to pump out its own Windows Phone handsets, but the Nokia S5-03 is stuck with the Symbian operating system. It's not the Symbian^3 OS released in October 2010 alongside the Nokia N8 either - this is Symbian S60 version 5, used in the Nokia N97 way back in the prehistoric age of 2009.
Nokia C2-01
The new Nokia C201 is nice looking and very light mobile with 3G feature. It has 3.15 MP of camera and also have other latest features of other mid range mobile phones like, speaker phone, Bluetooth, usb etc. This is the new budged range of 3G Mobiles from Nokia. If you are not able to afford high range of 3G mobiles then it’s a very good option to enjoy 3G features at very affordable prices.
Nokia X2-01
Nokia X2-01 Price In Pakistan Is 8300 (Introductory). X2 01 Camera Is VGA With No Flash But Has A 4x Digital Zoom. Like With Any XpressMusc Phone, Nokia X2-01 Has Excellent Music Features With FM Recording Option. Running On S40 OS, This Mobile Is Ideal For Low-End Users Who Want Music Features And Can Compromise On Camera.
Nokia finally reveals its plans for the Symbian^3 future
The Nokia vice president Purnima Kochikar has jus released an open letter to developers, revealing the company's plans about their Symbian^3 platform. Apparently the Finns are planning to continue releasing new smartphones running on Symbian^3 as well as regular updates for the OS itself.
Those new devices should bring 1GHz+ CPUs and faster GPUs to Symbian^3. Kochikar also says that the company will make full use of its expertise in location-based services and imaging to make its new Symbian^3 smartphones more attractive.
Of course, it's the UI that's currently holding the Symbian lineup back, but Nokia plans to do something about that too. There are several updates that should dramatically improve user experience in the pipeline. The first one is pretty major, delivering a brand new home screen, new flexible widgets, new icons (pictured left), a faster browser, new Navbar and a fresh look and feel to Ovi Store and Ovi Maps, including integration of social media services in Ovi Maps.
That first update should come some time in the summer. In fact several of its components have already made their way to the Nokia C7 Astound that should hit T-Mobile US in a week.

Leaked iPhone 5 Parts Surface, Reveal Very Similar Design to the iPhone 4
9to5 Mac has gotten their hands on what they claim to be legitimate parts for the iPhone 5. Among other things, these internal parts confirm former speculation that Apple’s next iPhone would share a very similar design with the current iPhone 4.
Even though the overall design will remain the same, these leaked parts do reveal some interesting things about the iPhone 5…
Indicative of these parts, the fifth-generation iPhone will have color options: black or white. This isn’t all too surprising – seeing we’re seeing a white iPhone 4 soon – but it’s still worth mentioning for fans of white devices.”

Nokia X6
This version of Nokia X6 is the same as the first version but comes with 8GB of internal memory.

Nokia Astound 2011
Given yesterday's news of AT&T purchase of T-Mobile, it is slightly ironic that the very first phone we've seen up close at CTIA this year is a T-Mobile phone. And even more ironic, the T-Mobile Astound uses the Symbian platform, which Nokia made pretty clear it had washed its hands of last month. But don't dismiss the Astound immediately; for its price, it has some pretty solid specs.
Nokia N8
New Operating System
Symbian ^ 3 has been a renewed interface compared to the old S60. N8 has three home screens that can be set up as one wishes, with the widgets and links to everything imaginable.
Especially mention the Norwegian product manager for Nokia, Bjørn Egil Brekke, widget social media like Twitter and Facebook collects content in an easily accessible place.

Apple iOS v. Google Android
The Apple iOS, which runs on its iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad, has a flaw in how it reads PDF documents that makes it easier to hack. This flaw is exploited by JailbreakMe, a one-click site that makes it easy for anyone without any real tech skills to hack into their own iPhone.
The flaw lets JailbreakMe open up an Apple operating system, and enables the user to load non Apple-approved applications on to an Apple device. JailbreakMe brought the security risk to light, finally causing Apple to release security updates for iOS 4.0.2 for iPhone and iPod touch and iOS 3.2.2 for iPad this week. (By the way, doesn’t this sound a lot like the same security flaw that Adobe learned about in late July?)
