colorwarenano Colorware Adds Visual Spice to iPods, Better Scratch Protection For  iPod Tou...We’ve covered Colorware's professional gadget painting in the past—and were more than satisfied after seeing their work close up, but their latest iPod coloring seems to be more than just cosmetic. The iPod Nano 2G color-coats the shiny silver metallic back with a color layer, which most likely handles fingerprints and scratches better than the original surface. They also paint iPod Nano 4G and iPod Classic as well as 3G, so you’ve got options on those devices as well. The process is not all that cheap ($125 to send yours in), but it’s definitely worth it considering that they do a great job and you’ll be using these gadgets for years.

The improved Samsung Omnia isn’t a Japanese thing any more. The Korean electronics giant is bringing the same device to the home market under the name “T*Omnia.”

As with the Japanese version, this Omnia will also come with a better .-inch WVGA (480×800 pixels) touchscreen and a mobile TV receiver. However, for the Korean market it’s satellite DMB rather than one-seg receiver that is used in Japan.

Korean SK Telecom will be selling device in two flavors: SCH-M490 with 4GB and SCH-M495 with 16GB of internal memory.

Rest of the specs are unchanged and include 5 megapixel camera with auto-focus and image stabilizer, WiFi, GPS, HSDPA, and Bluetooth support. Windows Mobile 6. with Samsung’s TouchWiz UI is running the show.

Now Samsung if you could bring this baby to Europe and North America, we would love you. Forget mobile TV, we don’t need that at the moment, or at least prepare two Omnias: one with and the other one without mobile TV receiver. That would work! icon wink Samsung T*Omnia announced in Korea; Better screen and mobile TV  included in ...

e631friphone Nokia E63 caught in the wild

Nokia is preparing to launch yet another QWERTY keyboard equipped smartphone a la E71. Apparently, the model’s name has been set to E63 and from the bare number we conclude its older brother [E71] is a better device. However, that doesn’t mean E63 sucks, quite the contrary.

Here’s what we know, or at least think we know about the E63:

  • GSM/GPRS/EDGE radio as well as UMTS/HSDPA support
  • Bluetooth, WiFi
  • QVGA screen (320×240 pixels)
  • Camera: At least megapixels. No Front Camera.
  • Symbian 9. with S60 Feature Pack (like the E71)
  • Standard .5 mm audio jack (E71 has a .5 mm jack)
  • Thicker than the E71
  • Flashlight function
  • Non-metal construction (unlike the E71)
  • No side buttons
  • Three versions will be available: E63- for Europe, E63- without a camera and more memory, and E63- for the Americas.

There’s certainly a room for a device like the E71 without a camera for and I did wonder when we’ll see it released…

Two of this year’s nicest mobile devices, HTC Touch Pro and Samsung Omnia, are now confirmed for an upcoming release via Verizon Wireless, the giant CDMA US carrier.  

Phone Arena has it that Verizon will launch both said handsets sometime in November, thus offering its customers early Christmas gifts.  

After being officially announced by Sprint, HTC Touch Pro is now making its way to Verizon too. The handset will apparently be called Verizon Wireless XV6850 and it should replace the old XV6800.

There’s now word yet on how much the Touch Pro / Verizon Wireless XV6850 costs, but since Sprint sells it for $299 with a contract agreement, Verizon will probably offer it for a similar price.   

Here is how Touch Pro from Verizon should look like:

  • A .8 inch VGA touchscreen display
  • Windows Mobile 6. Professional

  • GPS & Wi-Fi
  • . MP camera with autofocus & video 

Verizon’s Samsung Omnia will be a nice alternative to any other full-touch phone out there in the US. The handset will come as the CDMA version of the GSM one, and its features should not differ too much from the ones found in the latter.

  • Accelerometer
  • Windows Mobile 6. Pro
  • GPS
  • Wi-Fi
  • 5 MP camera with autofocus
  • 8GB of internal memory
