The largest cellphone by Samsung

Saturday, March 21st, 2009 by Peter Zhang

As everybody else is fighting to create the thinnes, smallest and lightest cellphone, Samsung and Cricket takes an opposite approach – the largest cellphone in the world, and it is displayed at Chicago.

The cellphone is as tall as 2 adults, and 5 meters long. It is a fully functional phone, and you can indeed type a SMS on the keyboard the cellphone provides. By just looking at the cellphone, don’t you think it is a little bit too Nokia-ish?

I wanna have one of those at home :P


It’s time to be green – Samsung Blue Earth Solar Phone

Saturday, February 28th, 2009 by Peter Zhang

Everyone is crazy about green. Samsung isn’t an exception. This Blue Earth phone was unveiled at the MWC this year. This phone is going to have a solar panel at the back with a huge touch screen. You won’t ever have to worry about running out of battery in the streets.

It even comes with a eco-calculator to see how many trees you have saved by using the phone. A rather sweet idea, I guess.

Samsung is intended to save as many trees as possible with its “Blue Earth Dream”. For more environmental information or more information about the cellphone, it is a good idea to visit their website: The Blue Earth Dream


Chinese ingenuine cellphone battery kills a man

Monday, February 2nd, 2009 by Peter Zhang

In Guangzhou, China yesterday, a explosion incident has hapened in an electronic store that claims to sell Lenovo produts and other things. The official says that the explosion occurred because of the ingenuine battery. The battery reacted with something within the person, and exploded. The person’s Aorta was hurt, and was killed instantly.

My advice is to avoid using ingenuine battery. Although battery explosion is not that uncommon, I believe this is the first cellphone battery explosion. So, watch out for fake batteries!

There’s Wi-Fi everywhere!

Friday, November 7th, 2008 by Peter Zhang

“Dude, that’s some old news.” No, not for China. I am in the Shanghai International Airport Terminal 2 right now, and am surfing on the internet via free wi-fi.

“Wi-Fi” was something introduced to China just a few years ago. There might me Wi-Fi everywhere in countries such as America, Canada, but not China.

This summer, I was at KunMing, YunNan, China. It is a developing city at southwestern China, and there is only one (1) Wi-Fi HotSpot there. Nope, it is not in an Airport, but in a coffee shop opened by an American.

Cellphones that equip with Wi-Fi in other countries (such as Nokia N81, N95, etc.) has their Wi-Fi module took away, or disabled. That’s a very strange law, but that’s the way it works, don’t ask me why. If you want to buy a cellphone in China with Wi-Fi, you have to buy those that are imported directly from foreign countries (the so-called “water goods”)

The government is starting to set up hotspots all around the cities right now. In Beijng, there are hotspots inside “2Huan”, which is the city center area. In Shanghai, you can sometimes see “Free Public Wi-Fi” Networks as well.

It is just so good to see there is Wi-Fi available for the public. Let’s hope this growth continues and never stops =)

As unbelievable as it sounds, Sony Ericsson just released their new Cybershot C905 – a cellphone equipped with a 8.1MP Camera. That’s even better than my Sony Cybershot DSC-W80!

Nokia 5800XM – the first Nokia TouchScreen Cellphone

Saturday, October 11th, 2008 by Peter Zhang

Hey guys,

Today in the first article, I am going to talk about some cellphones. Nokia has been making cellphones for quite a while now, but except for Nokia 7710, none of others are equipped with a touchscreen.

Just a few days ago, Nokia announced its new Nokia 5800 XM, with the new Symbian S60 v5 system. All I got to say is “amazing”. The awesome looking appeaance with the whole new UI, if it isn’t an iPhone-killer, what is it then?
