Sony Ericsson's Kurara to offer HD recording
Techradar - All the latest technology news — The rumoured Sony Ericsson Kurara looks set to debut in 2010 after new photos of the phone leaked onto the internet. Reported two weeks ago, the Kurara will apparently have a similar spec list to that rumoured: 8MP camera and running the Symbian S60 interface. This would position the phone nicely between the Satio and the Aino in the current product list, bringing smartphone capabilities to a more budget handset. Heady HD days Well, perhaps cheaper, as the photos from PhonesDB show the Kurara packing a full HD camera, like that used on the Samsung i8910HD, meaning recording video that won't look totally shocking on a TV screen. Of course, it could ...

Vodafone 360 line-up swelled by M1 arrival
Techradar - All the latest technology news — The Linux Mobile Foundation has launched the second phone in the Vodafone 360 range, the Samsung M1, to boost the number of handsets supporting the network's new service.

However, being a more pocket-friendly version (both from a literal and financial perspective) the M1 is a little lighter on specs too. Wider than life It has a 3.2-inch wide QVGA screen, a 3MP camera with digital zoom and 1GB of storage on board, and also comes with GPS packed in too. As a media player it's not too shabby, with all manner of ...
