It’s E-Ten Glofiish V900 communicator with DVB-H, DVB-T, T-DMB and DAB reception capabilities.
The flier for previously unannounced E-Ten V-900 popped up on an official Glofiish site today. And that’s really all we can tell you about this handset for now.
But stay tuned, there’s definitely gonna me more leaks as the biggest mobile trade show of the year approaches

Philips today introduced its new Philips SHB9000 headband which allows music lovers to listen to their favorite tunes while never missing a call, taking advantage of high-end features in new mobile handsets to give pitch-perfect sound quality and complete freedom to move.
The stylish SHB9000 includes Philips Fullsound which uses latest digital technologies to reveal the finest MP3 or CD audio, dynamically enhancing treble, stereo effects and bass. Designed for comfort with a soft leatherette cushion and adjustable headband, the SHB9000 incorporates Philips SwitchStream allowing listeners to automatically move between music and incoming calls without missing a beat. The wireless headset also delivers enhanced call quality through a digital signal processor that filters out background noise and echo, automatically adjusts volume in response to outside noise and offers a subtle side-tone into the headphone speaker so users can accurately hear their voice for best conversations at natural volume.
Optimized for leading-edge music phone mobile handsets and designed to connect, wirelessly or via the provided cord, with existing portable music and video players, the SHB9000 will be available this spring and will have a suggested retail price of $99 and $129 respectively.
It looks a lot like the LG enV or the Nokia E90, but its nothing like either of those. It flips open to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard, a D-Pad, and a larger screen than the external one.
It runs Windows Mobile 6 Pro and has both 3G and WiFi connectivity option. The 3G comes in the HSDPA flavor and should keep things speedy. There is also a 3.2MP cam somewhere on the device, presumably on the back.

After a long time of rumours about a GOogle Phone it was finally the time: Google evaporated the fog and launched her own operating system. So, not a real Google Phone, at least not for now. Today, the first prototype device with Android system was spotted on the internet at the Gizmodo website and the rumours that HTC is to be the producer of the device seem to be true. Since the start of the Google Phone rumours, the link with HTC as producer of the device was clear. Now the first photos of the prototype with Android system have shown up, the rumours that HTC is the producer of the Google Phone are getting even stronger.
The photo that reached the internet today looks a lot like an earlier photo on which only the display of the device could be seen. Earlier, a press photo of the device that we showed you today leaked out and a lot of HTC characteristics are found in the candybar. For example, the keys of the Android Phone are very characteristic, as are the quick keys that are placed in the middle of the device. A real confirmation that this device is an HTC phone is something we have not received yet, but because the rumours are getting stronger we expect the device to be launched at the Mobile World Congress in February 2008.
The person that has placed the photo of the Android device at the Gizmodo website tells that the operating system is extremely fast, many times faster than the standard Windows Mobile system. If the device is really as fast as told and if HTC really is the manufacturer to sell the phone is something we will have to wait for a little longer.
The Open Handset Alliance‘s Android may not exactly be the platform we all anticipated, but the flood of developers we’ve already seen working on it suggests it won’t be long before some half-decent hardware running the open-source Google-spawn emerges.
The latest public demo comes from Willcom, with the PHS operator showing a core module based on Android in Tokyo last week. Aside from demo-ing a spot of multi-tasking by receiving a call while browsing Google Maps, everything is pretty much as expected. Check out the pics for yourself over at Keitai Watch at the link below.
It’s been a while since we first heard about BenQ Siemens SL98 phone with a novel sliding screen.
BenQ SL98 was clearly an early prototype and with all the financial woes at BenQ Siemens cellphone unit in Germany, I thought that we’ll never see this phone again.
Well, we still may not see finished SL98 model shipping, but if you want to try whether the concept has any potential, you can head to German E-bay auction, where several working prototypes of BenQ Siemens SL98 are listed:
The phone comes with a working, but not yet very stable firmware.
BenQ SL98 specs include:
These phones are probably the clearance sales from the bankrupt division and/or disgruntled employees.
But BenQ still is in the mobile handset business and has probably retained the rights to the phones developed in Germany. So we’ll have to wait some more to see whether BenQ SL98 reverse slider was shelved or is still on track for a better future.
