There is a filing on the Bluetooth SIG website saying that Fiesta is an Android mobile phone that will be available in Asia, Europe, and North America. Naturally, it will feature Bluetooth, as you may have already guessed. Full specifications are not available at the moment.
Data transfer via Bluetooth 3.0 will be much faster. For instance, you will be able to transfer video files that are large in size. Bluetooth 3.0 will feature Enhanced Power Control (EPC) that will reduce the number of disconnects caused by putting a phone in a pocket or purse. We will learn more about new Bluetooth 3.0 on April 21.
Wi-Fi problems that appear after the latest firmware update are irreversible and cannot be solved by rolling back to the previous version. The upgraded iPhone controls the Wi-Fi chip wrongly and it gets hot. It has been noted that the malfunction occurs only in iPhone 2G and 3G. Most likely, the firmware version 2.2.1 removes a kind of power restriction of the chip and it begins to work at full power and gets hot. The only thing you can do is to place the device in the refrigerator and it really makes iPhone work properly. If the problem is software related, then we can expect the manufacturer to provide us with the solution. If it is hardware related, then there seems to be no solution at all.
Nokia recently concluded the pilot phase of its pioneering Life Tools service in Maharashtra, India, and the results show that subscribers are reaping the benefits.

Benefitting from the Agriculture service also related to having advanced information about weather, news and crop advisory services like information about probable diseases, weather based disruptions and tips for more...

HTC Corporation today debuted its newest QWERTY smartphone, the HTC Snap™. Designed with a set of features selected to deliver everything customers need without overwhelming them with things they don’t, the HTC Snap makes it easier than ever to stay in contact with life’s most important people. A recent study conducted by Harris Interactive® and commissioned by HTC* found that 44% of US adults are often overwhelmed by the amount of email they receive, and over half (55%) of US adults prioritize five or fewer people with whom they communicate via email. In response to these issues, HTC’s innovative Inner Circle feature allows HTC Snap users to press a dedicated Inner Circle key to bring emails from a preselected group of people to the top of their inbox, enabling important messages to be acted upon immediately.

ABI Research’s latest forecasts show that 2010 will see flat growth rate of handset sales rather than further falling. Worldwide handset shipments are expected to fall by at least 8% in this year and ABI Research believes that the market will deliver flat growth in 2010. There will be neither significant growth nor decline in handset sales that would be a good outcome anyway. Stabilization will first come to North America and Europe, and later to the Asia-Pacific region.

Not a single word about price and availability so far. All we know is that it is a blue touchscreen (320x240) music slider with the MP3 player and support of Bluetooth v2.0 and USB v2.0. Samsung M2510 also has a camera but it’s not the one worth appraising with its 0.3 MP and 640×480 px maximum photo size. Nevertheless, it could be useful from time to time.
