On the basis that we are dealing with something not confirmed, I would like to bring out a couple of names: Nokia W7 and W8. Apparently they are designations which is known as the first prototypes with Windows Phone 7 operating system that works the Finnish company.

The use of the letter W appears logical, and the number behind the letter complies with the name you are using Nokia people in all their phones. But we also have some details hardware prototypes that might interest you:

Nokia W7, outwardly very similar to what we see in the newly introduced Nokia X 7, but with a Windows Phone 7, which does not present any kind of personalizaciónLo same occurs with the W8 Nokia, but in this case would be a variant of the Nokia N8.

Dislike people in even though it is still early to determine that these prototypes will become a real model, not me their none of the base designs, what does have to be clear is that until 2012 them we will be.

A very interesting track with regard to the internal hardware is that it would use chipsets by Qualcomm (QSD8250), understand that it is the fastest way to conform to the specification of requirements imposed by Microsoft.

Funny that after years of poor relations and courts between Nokia and chip designer end up working together. Somehow this news away from the idea of ST Ericsson motorizara the new Windows Phone 7 of Nokia.

The W7 Nokia is currently using for internal development, but is the largest painting has become a real phone. With regard to the Nokia X 7, wins a WVGA screen necessary in Windows Phone 7, which is not made by Samsung, nor is it a panel AMOLED, yet we are told that the quality is very good.

Also differs with the X 7 in the House, with 8 megapixel camera and auto focus (imposition of Microsoft), as well as flash, and it is that we remind you that the new Nokia bet on EDoF.

Turning to the nokia w8, things are less clear, but it would be a most important phone which could dare with something more modern of Qualcomm. What does seem certain is that the excellent camera of the Nokia N8 would be inherited, making it a factor of important purchase for many customers.

Whether we like them more or less what you tell us about these two prototypes, I think that there will be no problem to find one to draw attention to, because it is expected that Nokia launch orna dozen phones in 2012 with the operating system of Microsoft. Among them are versions of the successful class E, and affordable phones with Microsoft's operating system.

Going back to Windows Phone 7, yesterday I discovered the news that Microsoft provided developers with a view to the next "major" update, called Mango, and some call Windows Phone 7.5.

We highlight the increased integration of third-party applications in the system, allowing use multitasking, more control and development on the tiles dynamics, and full access to the camera and sensors. Important applications such as Skype or Layar are coming to the system, the augmented reality is one of the points where Microsoft wants to work more.

These developments will be available in the development tools in the month of may, and in the face of users, ending the year, with some luck in the autumn.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Play, analysis of the Android phone (and II)

Analysis Javier Penalva on April 1, 2011 | 09: 45 To vote this post connect with Facebook Connect

The first part of our analysis of Sony Ericsson Xperia Play let us pending speak of your display, rather peculiar as you can see, the Android operating system and its "made in Sony Ericsson" customization, and of course the multimedia features of this phone that boasts 5 megapixel camera.

So we entertain no more and we are going to slaughter with the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play analyzed.

Talk of a system of automatic brightness on the screen of a mobile phone is nothing new nor surprising. However, that this Xperia Play will lead no light sensor makes that option not very welcome. The result is that in our tests the basic brightness proposed to us by the phone usually in most cases quite low, which makes it seem a worse screen than it actually is. So to enjoy it and appreciate the good that is, Activate the brightness to the Max.

And it is that the resolution or how sample colors that convince us, while watching his sister Bravia in the Sony Ericsson Arc, we already called on Sony Ericsson that it implement the technology on all its phones. They have a good ally in it to combat the "organic" and "Retinal Display" of the market.

The response of the screen in its paragraph touch that has convinced us, in the middle of the best phones on the market.

Android pure or with customization. Surely that is a debate that many users androids ever arise most when choosing a phone with this operating system.

Sony Ericsson has made an adaptation of Android in its upper layers that we like. To group applications by folders with his pitcher us has fallen in love, with a design that fits with your phone.

Management of contacts, with interaction with its "alter egos" in social networks and messaging system deserve a major round of applause. As regards to TimeScape, is more controlled in this Xperia Play but us still enjoying it, although we opt to not have it activated to enhance the autonomy of the team.

Where for sure that more differences you notice is the two systems which use this phone for the part of video games: Playstation Pocket and Xperia Play. But that is for the next part of the analysis.

The downside of getting to your users good cameras makes that when expectations are very high, a decent camera only does not the chord. And the 5 megapixel camera this Xperia Play is not a bad camera, but pulls away a little camera with a capital already users want to have a mobile phone.

But not all the blame the users with their expectations. Sony Ericsson has not made any effort to give prominence to the camera of this phone thinking that to be the "PlayStation Phone" enough you. They have focused all its efforts in that regard and have simply placed the camera on the back, with its flash (required for best results) and little else.

Although we cannot control the basic aspects of the image, we expected more than the interface of Sony Ericsson. We would also like to have a physical button for photos, and they could have used perfectly where are flanking the volume control, because its location is perfect for this task.

That Yes, in the end, in acceptable conditions, pictures that makes the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play us worth without a display. The following examples:

Where it is could be ported much better is the theme of the video, that is away from the high-definition 720 p that is common to see so-called phones to govern our advanced pockets. This Sony Ericsson's limited to about 800 × 480 pixels, without much more shine in this aspect.

And now we can only look in the latest installment of this analysis of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play is this phone as a portable game console.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Play, analysis of the phone Android (I)

Every day we becomes more complicated to analyze mobile phones. They have already integrated so many functions that strike a balance between them is difficult. In addition, each user has specific needs, and there is no perfect phone. This sony ericsson xperia play that we have thoroughly analyzed for you add the extra to be a real portable console.

In this first part we will tell widely on the finish of the phone, its characteristics and behavior of the battery when we use it as a phone. We will then discuss how is your screen, the performance of the computer, the operating system with a Swedish touch and paragraph multimedia. We will end up with the function of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play Star: its use as a portable game console. We started.

Imagine what the sony ericsson xperia play is not a very complicated task. Think inside of a current mobile phone (or at the end of 2010) and place it in the body of a PSPGo. The result is the xperia play, probably the most different phone of how many there are in the market for smartphones.

As we already bring in our video analysis, the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play is a thick and heavy phone. With a thickness of 16 mm, data that we thought that it was endangered, and a weight of 175 grams, we are left with the question of whether Sony Ericsson could have done more to reduce these two values. However, we are going to take over as lesser-evil for having a different phone.

With these data you know that you better not put it next to one of these delgaduchos modern now, because it will be your xperia play in evidence. But there is a solution for this: open it up and show them all what hides low of 4-inch screen. What has been achieved Sony Ericsson we like.

The reproduction of an complete portable console control is almost perfect. The dimensions are just (perhaps a little limited for big hands but you end up getting used), and the perfect performance. But that talk when you touch. Here I can only say that both the controls and the system of sliding we love and provide us guarantees.

Like physical checks, as well as those dedicated to the game, we find the four relating to the operating system that uses: Android. They are physical controls and well made. Least we like the volume control, hidden on one side and very difficult to reach when we are playing.

Special mention goes to the speakers, which far outweigh and smoothly (is not very difficult), quality media that can be found even in the best phones on the market without musical aspirations.

Throughout the interior and so well implemented gameplay however collides with the exterior finish, especially in the cover of the phone. The used bright plastic doesn't seem at all worthy of a high-end terminal and which has demonstrated both its interior. It is weak, with sense of breaking little that we get wrong with the system of opening of the back cover (need not be so difficult or case devise a simpler than the brute force system) and to look at it can only think in the well that had been a housing with a metallic finish.

What we do really like is that both the SIM card slot and the microSD accessible without removing the battery. Minipunto for Sony Ericsson.

Think of a mobile phone called to replace a handheld console cannot bring us to the head nothing more than a word: power. So one would expect that Sony Ericsson would have put everything what was already on the market in terms of components available to your xperia play. But it has not happened.

Mind you, we are not saying that when we play we will need more power, because in our tests the Xperia Play has shown that it has sufficient packaging, but that we would have liked to think in this Play as a phone of the most powerful of the market for what might come.

In the interior of this phone are a MSM8255 Snapdragon processor 1 GHz with the graphic system Adreno 205. They are data from 2010, and if we add that the RAM is Only 400 MB, surely you understand what I am talking about. I repeat that we have not missed in lack power when we played, but it is logical to think what the consumer you would ask for more on the paper to cover their backs with regard to future requirements. In the game not to spare specifications precisely.

On paper, the 1,500 mAh of capacity of the battery of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play are very welcome. But now we bring you that they have found us scarce.

When not we abuse the game, in other words, just "we miss some Fifas" for less than an hour a day, with 3 G enabled connectivity, use in house of WiFi connectivity, management of e-mail, web browsing, a few calls and some musicthe xperia play can hold from the morning until we got home at night. At that time we will have to connect it inevitably to food. In my case it is not a problem but you need to know in advance the stamina.

And why this happens if the battery has a good capacity? Well, as we shall see when try the theme of the screen and the operating system, both the customization that makes Sony Ericsson's Android with many longing in the aspect of social networks, such as automatic control of brightness that is forced and not adjustable by usWe believe that they are to blame. We reduced the active social services on the phone and noticed some improvement, but nothing do us change their minds that a day is out of use with this phone. So forget about take it holiday to take pictures when you've been all day with him.

It will continue to...
