Nokia's N series of cell phones are well recognized as solid and sturdy units and the N81 has not deviated from this trend. However; this new N series phone has made a few trade offs in features. For instance phone function in the N81 only has a 2 mega pixel camera in it compared the the 5 mega pixels in the N95 but it does include a a great functioning flash feature as well as state of the art Zyss camera optics.
The trade of though is that the N81 weighs in heavy when it comes to state of the art entertainment features.

As an added bonus, this new game oriented phone from Nokia comes pre loaded with three popular games.
Along with the screen being able to be opertated in both landscape and portrait modes there are also controls on it dedicated exclusively to game use. Of course, the designers of the N81 also had music lovers in mind when they were at work and the results are obvious.
This new phone does not need a memory card, because it comes off the shelf with a whopping 8 GB of memory so there is room to hold all of the songs that you need to record. Also, as well as Bluetooth stereo headphone support this N 81 also includes a standard 3.5 mm headphone jack. Other features that the N81 has for music lovers are an equalizer, FM radio and play list support.

Also, this phone is a great handset for someone who is looking for excellent music features as well. One thing that is fairly obvious when the phone is held in the hand is that it is somewhat bulky and has more heft to it then other similar products on the market. There is a good reason for this however and that is that it is designed and built to be a sturdy and durable unit that can hold up to heavy use.

Samsung loses $7.3 million patent suit in China
China-based Holley Communication has won a suit against Samsung over dual-mode cell phone patents, resulting in a payout of US$7.3 million. Holley Communications claims that Samsung is infringing on its patents, which cover dual-mode cell phone technology that allows a single phone to work on both CDMA and GSM networks. The suit was filed in China in The Intermediate People's Court of Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang. The $7.3 million is a record for pay-out in the Chinese cellphone industry.
More than 700k cellphones have been sold by Samsung that contain the infringing technology, and the product is still on sale in most markets. Holley officials stated that this pay-out is only the first piece of compensation they would be seeking.
Palm receives an additional $100 million from Elevation Partners

In return for the investment, Elevation Partners will receive newly issued Series C preferred stock that it can convert into regular Palm shares at a later date.
Palm says that the additional funds will help it maintain financial stability during the current world economic crisis and will allow it to roll out with full force its planned 2009 products, which are rumored to include a new Linux based smartphone OS named Nova.
Nokia's Mail On Ovi available for Series 40 powered cell phones
Nokia has launched a global public beta of its new web mail service, Mail on Ovi. The service is currently only available for select S40-powered feature phones, and can only be setup from the phone.
Nokia announced its Mail on Ovi service a few months ago, pointing to the emerging markets as the motivation since personal computers are not as common in those markets. The Mail on Ovi service is free and offers users up to 1GB of online storage, with integrated junk mail filtering. Oddly, the web-accessible version of Mail on Ovi is not planned to launch until February 2009. Interested users can get more information from Nokia's Beta Labs.
Nokia also recently announced that it is integrating all of its online services with a single sign-on for users. Nokia's online services, such as Share on Ovi, Sync on Ovi, and Files on Ovi, previously required users to keep track of different user names and passwords. The creation and integration of the Nokia Account for users will offer a single sign-on experience.
New cell phone antenna tech to drastically reduce power use
A new wireless antenna technology developed by Atif Shamim, an engineering student at Canada's Carleton University, is claimed to be able to reduce a mobile phone's antenna power consumption by nearly 92%. The key piece of the technology involves disconnecting a cell phone's antenna from the rest of the electronic components in the device.
In order to separate the antenna from the rest of the phone, Shamim's system uses very short range wireless transmitting micro-antennas within the chip design to handle the communications. Shamim says that by insulating the antenna from the rest of the devices that it would normally be wired to, there is no chance for the antenna's transmission power to be drained, thus lowering the overall burden a cell phone places on its battery.
RIM reports solid Q3 financials
Late yesterday Research In Motion reported its fiscal year Q3 earnings, which fell in line with analysts' expectations. Revenue was up 7.9% from Q2 to US$2.78 billion, and up an impressive 66.3% from the $1.67 billion figure posted at this time last year. RIM states that 81% of this past quarter's revenue came from handset sales, with the remainder coming from software and service fees.
Those revenue figures lead to $477,296 in adjusted net income, translating to a diluted adjusted earnings per share figure of $.83. RIM says that it added 2.6 million new BlackBerry subscribers in the quarter, which marks a 14% increase from the prior quarter and gives RIM a total of roughly 21 million subscribers.
Palm posts quarterly loss, talks of new platform
Yesterday Palm released its Q2 results for its fiscal year 2009 business operations. In addition to the financials, though, Palm's CEO announced that it will officially unveil its next generation Linux based operating system, dubbed Nova, at its press conference at the 2009 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The Palm CES press conference is scheduled to take place on Thursday, January 8th, and BusinessWeek reported earlier in the week that the new Palm Nova OS would be announced at that time. Palm has said that the first products to feature the new platform will be launched in the first half of 2009 and that it will continue to produce Windows Mobile powered smartphones for business users for the foreseeable future.
In terms of its financial performance, Palm posted US$191.6 million in revenue for the quarter. The company moved 599,000 smartphones, which is down 13% from the previous year's figure. Smartphone revenue came in at $171 million, which is down 39% from the prior year.
Palm posted a net loss of $508.6 million for the quarter, the majority of which, $396.7 million, was attributed to a charge associated with the change in status of some deferred tax assets.
AT&T previously confirmed that it would be using LTE for its 4G network, but is also planning to update its HSDPA network to the faster HSPA+ technology first. An AT&T spokesperson recently confirmed that the carrier has been running trials in Chicago that test upgrades to its HSDPA network that would offer data speeds of 7.2Mbps or more.
AT&T spokesperson Mark Siegel confirmed the tests, but declined to explain what technology was being used to achieve these faster data speeds. HSPA+ not only increases downlink data connection speeds up to 14.4Mbps, but also increases uplink speeds, as well, which enables faster uploading from cell phones.
