Hot Window 7 Phone: HTC 7 Mozart quick review (tech, new, update, report, Auckland)

The HTC 7 Mozart is not the kind we are used to meeting - and no, before you ask, it's not a music-centric gadget as the name suggests. Something quite different in fact, it's all about the camera that goes beyond Microsoft's demanding specs.

Once again, HTC are trying to escape from Microsoft's cookie-cutter approach and the Mozart promises to let Windows Phone 7 show it can do more. There's much to be excited about here and there's bad news for some of the top cameraphones around.

The HTC 7 Mozart is the first WP7 phone to go 8MP and the first one to pack a Xenon flash. Seems like plenty of cameraphone buffs are hearing Christmas bells already. We'll pretend we don't for a while and put on our shooting socks instead. It's time to see what the HTC Mozart is really made of.

Key features:

3.7" 16M-color capacitive LCD touchscreen of WVGA resolution (480 x 800 pixels)

Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support

Dual-band 3G with HSDPA (7.2 Mbps) and HSUPA (2Mbps)

Windows Phone 7 operating system

1GHz Snapdragon CPU, 576MB RAM, 512MB ROM

8 megapixel autofocus camera with Xenon flash, geotagging

720p video recording @ 25fps

8GB of built-in storage

Standard 3.5mm audio jack

Standard microUSB port (charging)

Dolby Mobile and SRS sound enhancement

Pretty good audio quality

Wi-Fi b/g/n

Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP

Accelerometer for screen auto rotation

Office document editor

Facebook integration and cloud services

Built-in A-GPS receiver

Stereo FM Radio with RDS

Comes with HTC Hub and exclusive HTC apps

Voice-to-text functionality

Main disadvantages:

Disastrous camera performance

Weak xenon flash

Non-expandable storage

No lens protection

WP7-specific limitations

No system-wide file manager

No Bluetooth file transfers

No USB mass storage mode

Limited third-party apps availability

No Flash (nor Silverlight) support in the browser

Too dependent on Zune software for file management and syncing

No video calls

New ringtones available only through the Marketplace

Music player lacks equalizer presets

No multitasking

No copy/paste

No DivX/XviD video support (automatic transcoding provided by Zune software)

No sign of free Bing maps Navigation so far

No internet tethering support

No handwriting recognition support

So here we are again – reviewing another Windows Phone 7 device. Not that we mind though. And for a change, it's not another case of struggling to put a face to a name.

We've been there already: the OS limitations and the ensuing deal-breakers are no news to you. If you have your sights set on Windows Phone 7 you probably know everything there is to know about it. There's much to love about the Metro interface – and there's no denying some things about Windows Phone 7 just could've been better. But if your glass is half full rather than half empty – there's good news.

Microsoft are prepping the first Windows Phone 7 update, which will enable copy/paste and is supposed to bring some multitasking magic. It's going to hit all WP7-based devices at the very beginning of next year.

1.2Ghz BlackBerry Torch 2 on the way, 11mm-thin Curve Apollo too! (Abby Technology Limited)

That nice BlackBerry Dakota yesterday is obviously in for some company. We just spotted a couple of new devices by the company, leaked in all their press glory and full specs. Meet the BlackBerry Torch 2 and the Curve Apollo.

It seems BlackBerry plans to go big has some big plans for this year. As much as we appreciate their service, you can't deny they've been offering only under-spec'd, over-priced handsets lately. But they've obviously had enough of that.

BlackBery Torch 2

The next generation of the BlackBerry Torch (aptly named Torch 2) will double the processor clock speed of the original to the whopping 1.2 GHz.

The new uber-BlackBerry will also have a 3.2-inch VGA screen, 8 gigs of storage, 512MB RAM, Wi-Fi, GPS, a digital compass, a proximity sensor and a 5 megapixel camera. The NFC support comes as an unexpected bonus.

The Torch 2 will run the BlackBerry OS 6.1 and will launch in Q3 (at least in the AT&T network in the US).

BlackBery Curve Apollo

If the recently leaked devices are anything to go by, BlackBerry is on the way of bumping the base specs throughout its portfolio. The Curve line isn't quite known for its high-end features or performance, but the leaked Curve Apollo surely has some nice specs - at least on paper.

Here's what the next generation BlackBerry Curve will look like. Preserving the traditional look, the new BlackBerry Curve Apollo is trendy and modern at the same time.

The BlackBerry Curve codenamed Apollo has a HVGA display (480 x 360 pixels), a Marvel Tavor MG-1 800MHz CPU, 512MB RAM, Wireless N, GPS, and again, NFC connectivity. We did a little digging on that CPU and it seems it's the same Marvel core used on all previous BlackBerries, but it's now clocked at 800Mhz instead of 624Mhz. We hope that will be enough to pull a nice performance under the new BlackBerry OS 6.1.

Finally, the BlackBerry Curve Apollo is only 11mm thin and has a 5 megapixel camera with flash. We don't know any more details about its availability just yet.

Leaked: Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 and Galaxy Suit S5670 (tech, news, report, update)

Official photos of a couple of Samsung Android smartphones just appeared. The Galaxy Ace S5830 makes its second public appearance, while the Galaxy Suit S5670 is only now taking its first trip through Rumorland.

Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 was initially known as Galaxy Mini, when it leaked a couple of days ago. Apart from the new name, the newly leaked low-resolution shot doesn't reveal any new information about the handset's specs sheet. So far we have Android 2.2 Froyo, 5 megapixel camera with LED flash and an HVGA screen. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 3.0 are also confirmed, while GPS and microUSB seem like a pretty reasonable guess.

The Samsung Suit S5670 on the other hand, remains a complete enigma to us. Its model number and looks suggest mid-range functionality, so it might be the I5500 Galaxy 5 successor. Judging by the icons on the screen, the Samsung Suite S5670 is running Android 2.2 Froyo too.

It appears that Samsung will be quite busy at the MWC this year. We've already seen four Android smartphones, including the Galaxy S 2. Undoubtedly the Koreans will also have some Bada devices to show us and we might even see a new WP7 handset or two.
