The Nokia N8 has a 12 megapixel camera sensor built in. This however, wont be the record for long it seems as Sony is trying to up the game a little by creating a 16.41 megapixel sensor. This is, from what we understand, the worlds largest capacity sensor available for a smartphone.

The Samsung Omnia7 i8700 has been spotted and captured on video. The Omnia7 looks to have the Samsung Hub as part of Windows Phone 7 that allows you to view the weather, news as well as get other bits of information.
The device looks to be quite slim with a large screen on the front. Not much is known about what runs inside other than the obvious minimum specs that Microsoft attach to a chassis 1 type phone. [Read more…]
The T-Mobile G2 has a “feature” built-in that certainly will upset a few people.
When rooting the device, a microchip embedded inside prevents permanent changes from being made and basically restores the G2 back to factory settings with a fresh firmware install. The chip essentially stops you from modifying your phone as you wish. [Read more…]
