The Samsung S5150 Olivia and S7070 are two new mobile phones from the Korean’s “Diva” mobile phone series that are specially made for girls. The S5150 (codenamed Olivia) is a clamshell handset with a small external display in the front beneath the mirror-like body. The cell phone sports a 2.2-inch QVGA display, a 3 MP digital camera, a microSD card slot, a music player, and Bluetooth. Meanwhile, the Samsung S7070 full-touchscreen handset offers a 3-inch WQVGA resistive touchscreen, a 5 MP camera, Bluetooth, a microSD card slot and an FM Radio. Both cell phones are expected to hit retail shelves in Q1 2010.

The Nokia 5330 Mobile TV Edition is actually a combination of a 3G mobile phone, a mobile broadcast TV (DVB-H), a social networking, a music player and a gaming device. The new Nokia cell phone features a 2.4-inch QVGA color display and a 3.2 MP camera with an LED flash. With one-click access to live broadcasts, the Nokia 5330 Mobile TV Edition can pick up all the available channels around, set reminders for favorite shows, and create personal channel lists using Nokia’s innovative Electronic Program Guide (EPG). The slider handset is also compatible with Nokia’s Comes with Music service providing a free and unlimited access to millions of music tracks.

The Nokia 5330 Mobile TV Edition is perfect for social networking software addicts since it comes with all the latest social networking software including Ovi Contacts, Facebook, MySpace and YouTube. Using this phone, you can easily post status updates for friends and family to follow or instant message (IM) them via Windows Live Messenger, Google Talk, Yahoo! Messenger, ICQ, or AOL. The Nokia 5330 Mobile TV Edition retails for 155 Euros or approximately $232 before taxes and subsidies.

The HTC HD2, or HTC Leo, is truly a spectacular mobile phone. It seems to have all modern mobile technologies in its pocket, bridging the gap between phones and tablets.

HTC are pushing the boundaries of the impossible by fitting the 4.3-inch screen in a phone smaller than the Toshiba TG01, which was the first Snapdragon-based device ever to be released. HD2 is certainly a feat of engineering and something to really look up to.

Now that it has just hit the market, the HD2 is bound to make some serious waves in the high-end smartphones pool and we guess many of you would probably be checking it out this holiday season.
HTC Leo connectivity are quite complete: Wi-Fi 802.11b/g, Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP, standard microUSB port, GPS receiver with A-GPS.

Sony Ericsson are on the move recently and the Aino is very much part of the agenda. But living in the shadow of the Satio and X10 is not much fun we guess. So, the Sony Ericsson Aino is keen to live a double life. At first glance, it’s a touchscreen PMP, but on a second look it’s a regular slider phone with an extra big screen. It’s not the ultimate PlayStation phone but it does have Remote Play, to wirelessly pair with Sony’s PlayStation 3.

As far as feature phones go, the Aino has pretty much everything – excellent connectivity, full-featured navigation, a great camera, plenty of internal storage and a simple-but-snappy touch media menu. Key Features are 3″ 16M-color capacitive touchscreen, 240 x 432 pixels, Quad-band GSM support, Tri-band 3G with 7.2 Mbps HSDPA, 2Mbps HSUPA, 8 megapixel autofocus camera with LED flash.

The touchscreen Nokia mobile phone gets larger and the Nokia N97 mini is surely one of the most interesting new recruits. The Finnish company has obviously reconsidered its priories and now focuses on optimization, rather than expansion with its flagships.

The original Nokia N97 was the first sign of that as it hardly offered any ground-breaking features, instead relaying on the good all-round performance. However the first high-end S60 touchscreen handset left enough room for another similar handset in the portfolio and Nokia feel that its downsized version is enough to fill the gap.
