Sanjay Jha was just named the Co-CEO of Motorola, but it’s not him who will uplift the company, it’s the 8 megapixel camera-phone codenamed Alexander. In terms of looks the phone isn’t very attractive, but the specifications that our source is providing us might just be able to level Motorola with their rivals. Here are some of the features of the upcoming phone:

• Windows Mobile 6.
• 5 or 8 megapixel camera (probably
• NVIDIA 3D graphics chip
• A-GPS
• Q4 release date

Earlier this week Motorola’s CEO Greg Brown had announced that the company is planning on releasing 34 new phones until the end of 2008, which is the double of what was released last year.

A person working on Motorola’s development plans also leaked that one of those 34 devices will be the one codenamed Halo, which is designed to combat against the iPhone. This comes already a bit late, as Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, LG and BlackBerry have something in the market, or already coming up soon to face the iPhone. The only hint we have from this leaked statement is that Motorola is working on a powerful touchscreen phone.

The Sony Ericsson K850i has one of the most attractive designs we’ve ever seen, with a lot of details and sleek colours. The box layout and presentation are also worth to notice and contribute to the general design of this device.

The camera is obviously the main focus of the K850i, so a design was necessary so that the phone resembled a camera, but at the same time looked as a a powerful multimedia phone. This affected placement of ports and keys. The K850i surely had more than we expected, and in this case, you can judge a book by its cover, just because the cover is wonderful.

Read on as we take you on a journey exploring the K850i’s presentation.

These days many consumers are using phones as their items, not only because they are an important object in a person’s life, but also because they are becoming a fashion accessory.

These are just rumours, and we are completely unaware of what these rumours mean. All we know is that there might be a Sony Ericsson announcement by next week, which isn’t very likely as the company just released three Walkman phones. All we can do is wait and see what happens.

The only phones on which we could speculate on were the P5, codename Paris, and Beibei, but these apparently have been cancelled. The Remi and Hicaru are the phones that will probably be showcased at this possible event.
