| BlackBerry 10 N Series Keyboard Leaked, Similar to Previous Devices, Still a Bit Different Posted: 26 Nov 2012 12:09 PM PST
All of you hopefuls waiting for late January 2013 and the unveiling of BlackBerry 10 OS devices will be happy that today we’re graced with the leak of a physical part of an upcoming handset with the new OS. We’ve seen screenshots leaked, even a video demo, but it’s been a while since the last blurrycam leak, especially for a N Series model.
BlackBerry fans will immediately spot the frets that separate the keyboard rows, that are straight now and actually pretty big if you ask me. This is quite a different setup compared to the Bold 99xx devices, although it still feels a bit familiar. At first sight the keyboard feels cramped, but we have to see it on the handset to judge. The layout stays the same as on previous BlackBerry keyboards, which is a good thing of avid BBM users. I wonder if the nifty prediction system in BB 10 OS will be adapted to the physical keyboard experience and show on screen suggestions or maybe provide a learning pattern that’s applied without the need of input from you. We’ll know more about the BlackBerry L Series devices and N series in a bit over a month! Related posts:

| Samsung Demonstrates Hot Its Smartphones are Stress-tested on Video Posted: 26 Nov 2012 10:21 AM PST
Though Samsung devices are quite popular among smartphone owners, their build quality is often questioned as the manufacturer seems to rely on one material only – plastic – for most of its handsets. What is good to know is that before the devices actually make it on the market, they are taken through a bunch of durability tests.
Posted by the official SamsungTomorrow YouTube channel, the video below demonstrates how Samsung stress-tests its devices before them actually hitting the shelves of the stores. The video is in Korean but needs no further explanations and one could easily see that the manufacturer does not take the durability of its handsets lightly. There are all kinds of tests run on the devices. These go from water to scratch tests to show the durability of the materials. They are also pressure tested for when accidental drops occur. Now before judging the quality of a Samsung device you’d better think again. Related posts:

| New Nokia Asha Handsets Leak – Featuring Dedicated Facebook Button Posted: 26 Nov 2012 09:55 AM PST
The Asha line of smartphones owned by Nokia is known for offering some decent specs and build quality at highly affordable prices. Nokia is targeting markets such us India with their Asha devices that are no more then your touch supported feature phones with some advanced functions you would usually find in today’s smartphones.
The Nokia Asha line-up is about to be improved with the addition of two new handsets. The first would be the Asha 205 - a device featuring a full QWERTY keyboard and a dedicated button for accessing the most popular social network – Facebook. According to Nokia, the device supports "colourful covers and comes preloaded [with] 40 games." It is expected to cost around $65.
The next device could be called the Asha 206 and is a Dual-SIM feature phone having a standard design. Nokia characterises it by "preloaded [with] 40 games, voice instructions for self-portrait(?)", though the translation could be somewhat inaccurate. It is expected to cost about the same as the previous model, around $60. Related posts:
