Nokia 2626 is a straightforward phone that comes in four different colors to suit diverse tastes. Not all people like to have all the bells and whistles that other advanced phones offer. Many users would simply be content enough to operate an uncomplicated cellphone yet have the advanced features adapted from the most tech-savvy phones around.

The phone is more than the SMS text and voice call cellphones that is common seen in the market. Listen to a hip FM station as you go, send and receive MMS messages, browse through a WAP site and even play some Java games. Wallpapers and ringing tones even puts a more personal touch and variety on this Nokia 2626 phone. There is no built-in camera though, which should have made it a more interesting gadget that complements the MMS messaging capability.

For those who are tired of the usual text and call phones, Nokia 2626 is definitely a phone that offers a smooth transition to a bit complex phone, that the budget can allow. Its intermediate features make it an attractive option rather than being faced with the decision of choosing between a phone loaded with features and a very basic one. Nokia 2626 is truly an answer to those who likes to have a phone with a little oomph.

The second chapter of Apple’s iPhone era is almost ready to begin, and it’s already clear that things will be a little different this time around.

Few people who pay even scant attention to the technology industry could claim to be shocked by the introduction of a faster iPhone earlier on Monday by Apple CEO Steve Jobs. Apple has sold 6 million iPhones since June 2007, Jobs said, and will likely sell a few more once the new model arrives on July 11 with a faster networking chip, GPS capabilities, and a software upgrade that’s an IT manager’s dream for a mobile device.

If recent history is any guide, roughly a third of the people snapping up Apple’s new iPhone are likely to tote it in a purse.

In a big shift for the phone industry, women have emerged as eager buyers of not just iPhones but of all so-called smartphones — BlackBerrys, Treos and other models.

In the last year the number of American women using smartphones more than doubled to 10.4 million, growing at a faster pace than among men, according to Nielsen Mobile, which tracks wireless trends.

It’s all about the iPhone. That’s the quick and not entirely complete explanation for why Nvidia (nasdaq: NVDA - news - people ) moved last Sunday to counter Intel’s (nasdaq: INTC - news - people ) foray into processors for mobile devices with an expanded low-power processor line of its own, dubbed Tegra.
