It was announced last month that, in a ground breaking move, Nokia will be teaming up with software giant Microsoft to make Windows 7 Phone the new main operating system for Nokia’s smartphones. This was a surprise to many who felt that Nokia had began to make strides with their own Symbian OS.

The bosses at Nokia have also claimed that they still will be releasing millions more Symbian phones so there is still time for the OS, which is currently the world’s biggest selling OS, to prosper. The first phone that really showed us just how good Symbian can be, when combined with the right hardware was last year’s Nokia N8 phone, still Nokia’s flagship mobile and one that points towards a resurgence in Nokia’s fortune in the smartphone market.

The N8 represented a couple of firsts for Nokia; the first time that they had run a phone on the Symbian 3 platform, an operating system with many improvements on Nokia’s previous versions, and the first Nokia to include a 12 megapixel camera on the back; something that very few phones have, especially this level of smartphone.

The phone also has a 3.5″ 360 x 640 pixel capacitive OLED touchscreen display which is a good size and although it is not anywhere near as good as phones such as the iPhone 4 and HTC Desire, the N8 is far cheaper than both of these phones and almost a year after its release it is available for a very low price.

The phone also has great multimedia support, boasting MPEG4, H.264, Real and Flash Video plus others, and also MP3, AAC, WMA and AMR audio. This is extremely important nowadays with phones like the Desire out that are just great for watching media on. The Nokia can keep up with the top phones in this area and it would be a shame for Symbian to just disappear so we’re glad that Nokia will be keeping it on.

Dell has entered into the foray of smartphones and it straight away comes with a bang, with the new Dell Venue Pro smartphone, aimed at the business class of smartphone users. Dell expects it to compete against the likes of Blackberry and Co. and to do that they have equipped the phone with loads of the so called ‘Business features’.

These is so called ‘Business phone’ has a massive 4.1 inch AMOLED screen, which recognizes multi-touch and this makes it a very good entertainment phone too. The phone as has a full QWERTY keyboard for making all those text inputs much easier. The QWERTY keyboard is a slide out one and once when full slid, the phone measures in at nearly 7 inches. However, the elegant form factor means that this phone is very easy on your pocket. It is made up of Gorilla Glass for great durability plus scratch resistance.

The Dell Venue Pro has a 5 megapixel camera like most of the other Windows phones of late. The camera is more than adequate to take stunning pictures and also to record videos in HD 720p format. Running on the Windows Phone 7 series operating system, this has a host of applications like Microsoft Office for those who are business centric and Xbox Live for those who are entertainment centric.

Dell has not announced any prices or the exact launch date for this phone. However, one can expect it to hit the UK shores by this Christmas or even before that given that the other Windows Phones are set to launch quickly. The Dell Venue Pro though comes with T-Mobile service support and hence one can expect it to be launched by various service providers with different phone contract options.

A lot of mobile devices have been made in the last few years but the one that is obviously the most popular to the mass is the cell phone. It isn’t really the newest type of invention in recent memory but due to the convenience that it provides, cell phones continue to be the mobile device that most people can’t live without in their everyday lives. There is such a thing right now as cell phone number lookup where you can a person’s name, address and any information about someone just by using his or her cell phone number. This is most useful for security purposes and preventing mobile phone scams as well. A number lookup can also be very useful for business people as they can easily find potential partners and clients without doing too much research or paying high numbers of dollars. Several web sites out there have popped out, claiming that they can offer this service for free or at least for small amount; however, it should be noted that there are also some people within the World Wide Web that would take advantage of other people in need of help so it is best to find out first if a certain “free” or ”cheap” web site can truly give you what you need because there is a possibility that instead of getting a good help for whatever type of usage you are trying to do, you might just end up being even more scammed so be very careful with it.
