Morph is basically a concept, showing how mobile phones could be in the future – stretching, and flexing the phone into different shapes. But, ultimately, the technology inside the morph concept shows off transparent electronics, and, self-cleaning surfaces.

Hopefully, elements of the Morph concept should be available in handsets, within the next seven years, obviously, in high-end devices, to begin with. The nanotechnology will hopefully allow for integrating complex functionality at a low price. Learn more about what the Morph can do here.

For a phone that reflects your style whether you’re at work or at play, picture yourself with the new Sony Ericsson Z310. Announced today, this stand-out phone has a flawless, polished finish. The front icon display is integrated into the design, hidden discretely beneath the surface until a message or call is received. There are even eye-catching coloured light effects that can be assigned to contacts in the phonebook so you can know at a glance who is calling.

The seamless, semi-transparent finish on the front of the phone allows the display icons (which signal when a new event takes place on the phone) to be ‘hidden’ beneath the surface. And a separate external display, also concealed under the surface of the phone, lets you know exactly who is calling.

Today more information has been unveiled about the new N93i. The rumoured device and successor of the N93, the first ever multimedia computer, will be a new device build on the basis of the current N93 but with some major differences with respect to looks, buid-in specifications and the name.

The new N93i which is shown on the pictures below consists of a mini-USB port instead of a pop-port and different joystick on the right hand side. The position for the infrared port situated on the left hand side and a memory card slot on the right hand side have also been changed. Futhermore it is quite clear that the external screen will vanish when switched off in relation to the external mirror surface and that the handsfree speaker is situated on left hand side of the device.

The first specifications of the new device:

Size: 119 x 56 x 28 mm
Display: 2.4" TFT display with 262.000 colors and a QVGA resolution
Camera: 3.2 Mpixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, auto focus, flash, optical zoom and DVD-like recording
Memory: 50 MB + MiniSD memory slot
Connectivity: Mini-USB port, Infrared, Bluetooth, GPRS, EDGE, 3G/UMTS, Wifi 802.11b/g
Messaging: SMS, MMS, Picture messaging, Email
Operating system: Symbian operating system with Series 60 3rd Edition user interface
Miscellaneous: FM-radio, Video-out, Flight mode

Check out the new pictures of the new device below:

The latest device from Motorola, the new KRZR K1, will be available in two new colors in the upcoming period. The new colors called Black and Silver quartz show a new distinctive look for the special product from Motorola.

The new KRZR K1 is currently available in the standard blue color and consists of a 2.0 Mpixel camera, 176 x 220 pixels TFT color display, Bluetooth and stereo Bluetooth support, EDGE, MicroSD expandable memory slot and multimedia player.

Pricing and availability are not known at this stage, but it's most likely that these new colour variants will be available by Christmas in some countries around Europe.

For more information on the new devices visit the Motorola KRZR phone pages on the Motorola brand page.

Sony Ericsson has shown a large amount of Walkman products during the past year. Next to this set of mobile phones several accessories have been introduced. For example special music desk stands with build-in speakers, but also several headsets. One of these headsets is the new HBH-DS970 a wireless stereo Bluetooth headset.

The headset has not the same set-up as the BT620s from Jabra, but consists of two separate earplugs which will be placed in the ear. Both are connected via a wire that can be placed around the neck of the user and a remote control with build-in display. The DS970 is the latest wireless stereo Bluetooth headset from Sony Ericsson and is being delivered next to several other Walkman models as the W810i, W850i and W950i.

A combination of fashion accessory and business phone, the Sony Ericsson Z770i isn't quite one thing or another.

This is an HSDPA capable phone, meaning that the Z770i is a 3.5G device capable of high-speed internet access. Although web access on a mobile phone is not usually much fun, the Z770i comes with the NetFront web browser which attempts to bring a more PC-like environment to the mobile phone platform.

The Z770i has a 2.2" 240 x 320 pixel display, Bluetooth 2.0, a USB connection, microSD expandable memory, an FM radio, MP3 player, a two megapixel camera and an impressively long battery life that might well appeal to corporate customers. The Z770i also supports push email from Microsoft Exchange servers.

There are three colour combinations, Vogue Red, Graphite Black, Exquisite Golden. The silvery coloured handset in the pictures is actually Vogue Red, so it is hard to judge just what the other devices look like.

It's a very stylish looking device, and at 91 grams and 93 x 48 x 16mm in size the Z770i is pretty compact for a 3.5G phone.

Our biggest gripe is the keypad - a combination of dead flat keys and a stylish but possibly quite annoying navigation pad might not be to everyone's tastes. While it is certainly the case that the Z770i looks as good on the inside as it does on the outside, it is likely that some people would prefer a more traditional arrangement.

Sony Ericsson say that the Z770i should be available during Q2 2008, but did not give any guidance on pricing.

It's a big device - coming in at 226 grams, it weighs about the same as the original 770, or slightly more than the later N800 or roughly comparable Nokia E90. Physically, the N810 measures 72 x 128 x 14mm and the tablet is dominated by the very large 4.1" 800 x 480 pixel display. If you haven't seen this type of high resolution screen before, then you'll be blown away.. remember that most similar devices are stuck with 320 x 240 pixels, and at 800 pixels across most web pages will display exactly as they do on a PC.

One key advantage in having the big screen in a separate device to your phone is that you can have a normal size device as a mobile, and you only need to take the N810 out with you when you need it.

It's a Linux device, running a brand new OS2008 version of the Maemo operating system. This adds a Mozilla-based web browser, enhanced Adobe Flash support, Windows Media Player compatibility, the Nokia Maps application, VOIP SIP call support and a new user interface. Owners of the N800 will be able to upgrade their software to the OS2008 version, although sadly the old 770 cannot be updated. There are plenty of free applications available for download for the Maemo platform, so the N810 should have a wide range of software add-ons available.

The overall design of the N810 is a bit sleeker than the N800 - the video calling camera is now more traditionally mounted on the front, the seldom used navigation pad has been moved to the QWERTY keyboard and the other controls are mounted on the edge of the device so that they can be reached easily. As with the N800, the N810 Internet Tablet comes with a built-in stand. You don't have to use the physical keyboard as text can be entered directly onto the N810's screen with a finger or stylus.

Internal memory is 128MB of DDR RAM plus  256MB Flash. Up to 2GB of Flash storage is available for data, and the Nokia N810 supports SD cards up to 2GB and SDHC cards up to 8GB. The processor is a TI OMAP 2420 running at 400 MHz. The battery should be good for about 4 hours web browsing over the LAN, 10 hours of music playback or 14 days standby time.

Nokia are touting the N810 as a "Web 2.0" device, capable of accessing YouTube, Skype, Facebook and other popular destinations. Older versions of Nokia's Internet Tablets did struggle with these, so this is certainly an improvement.

At the moment Nokia have given US pricing and availability only, the N810 will cost around $479 plus tax (so perhaps £250 / €350 in Europe) and will be available from mid-November 2007.

Remember the Nokia N-Gage? Nokia's original attempt at a gaming platform fell a bit flat in most (but not all) markets and largely sank without trace. But Nokia didn't give up on the idea of advanced mobile gaming, and now it's back with a vengeance on the Nokia N81 plus some other smartphone devices in the Nokia range.

So what exactly makes up the Nokia N81? Well, this is a 3G slider with a 2.4" 240 x 320 pixel display that works in landscape (wide) and portrait (tall) orientations. On the back is a 2 megapixel camera, and the N81 also has WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity which can also be used for gaming. There's an FM radio too, and the N81 runs the Symbian S60 operating system, making it a capable smartphone.

Nokia say that  the keys light up when you use them, and they are also optimised for playing games in landscape mode as well as playing multimedia and all the other smartphone functions. As you'd expect, there's a web browser and email client and the Nokia N81 can also place VOIP calls (if your carrier has not disabled the functionality). There's a navigation wheel, and the N81's interface has had an overhaul to make it more dynamic.

Some effort has gone into integrating the N81 with Nokia's new Music Store and it can also be synchronised using a compatible media player application. As you might suspect, the N81 8GB comes with 8GB of internal memory, whereas the cheaper standard N81 uses microSD memory expansion.

Games for the N81 can be downloaded from Nokia's N-Gage Arena  for a typical fee of €6-€10. Some of these can be played against others using the internet or WLAN connection. The N-Gage gaming platform isn't limited to the N81 either, owners of the N73, N93, N93i, N95 and N95 8GB can join in too.

It's quite a heavy phone at 140 grams in weight and 102 x 50 x 17.9mm in size. Talktime is up to 3 hours on 3G and 4 hours on GSM, with a maximum standby time of around 16 days. Alternatively, you can play music on it for up to 11.5 hours.

Nokia say that the N81 and N81 8GB should be available during Q4 2007 at an estimated cost before tax and subsidy of €430 / £290 for the N81 8GB and around €360 / £250 for the more basic N81.
