You’ve probably heard a lot about calling phones from Gmail in the last 24 hours or so and therefore we believe there is no point discussing the process all over again. Instead, we wish to cater to a number of people who think this is some kind of a hoax, and that is probably beacuse they are too lazy to get in done in practicality, despite the fact that these calls are free in US and Canada apparently.

We’ve tagged along a video here to confirm that it is actually happening and instead of lazying around, it is time to try it out and also save some money at the same time. The only effort is to look for the Call Phone link in your gmail account.

The Nokia E71 and Nokia E66 got a new firmware update and the new version v500.21.009 can be downloaded from NSU and  Nokia PC Suite.

Apple iPhone 4 features :

• iPhone OS 4 – which has been renamed to “iOS 4″ for some reason

• iMovie (available for $4.99 in App Store)

T-Mobile is offering up a $350 trade-in on iPhones. Considering that the HTC HD2 sells for $200 with a two year contract, or $450 without, then you are getting a slight bargain. It runs Windows Phone 6.5, which I suppose could be better than what the iPhone is running. And hey, it could be capable of running Windows Mobile 7 soon.

Th guys from mynokiablog made a video review and comparison between the brand new Nokia N900 and the Sony Ericsson Satio.

These two new phones from Samsung that have appeared but have not been officially announced: Samsung S7070 and S5150, both of the new Diva series that aims to win the women’s market.

The first is a model with 3-inch touchscreen WQVGA quality and has a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus, Bluetooth, microUSB port, FM radio, microSD card slot and TouchWiz interface. It seems to be launched sometime in the first quarter of next year although it is unknown what the cost.

The second one, the Samsung S5150 Olvia is a simpler model with a lid. It has a mirrored surface and a stylish external screen like one of those bags with air bubbles that I like so much DJing. It has a 2.2 inch internal display and a 3 megapixel camera and is said to also appear on the market next year.
