Here is a full breakdown of the features that have been added to the, new – fully baked – iPhone 4.

Hardware

The iPhone 4 now features an Apple A4 chip, the same that we saw in iPad earlier this year. The processor is much faster than the one on iPhone 3G and 3Gs and has a special technology for effiecient power management. Apart from that, Apple has added a, longwaited, 5 Megapixel camera. The Camera is capable of taking 720p HD videos and edit/share them on the fly. It also has  a LED for flashes which doubles as a lighting bulb in video recording. Apple has also thrown in a front facing camera for video-conferencing. But the thing that will set you off here is that FaceTime, Apple’s new video chatting application won’t work over 3G network, it require you to connect to a Wi-Fi system. What is good though is that you can use front, as well as rear cameras when using FaceTime app. iPhone 4 is the first phone with a built-in three-axis gyroscope. When paired with the accelerometer, it makes iPhone 4 capable of advanced motion sensing such as user acceleration, angular velocity, and rotation rate. Translation: More motion gestures and greater precision for an even better gaming experience.

Design

This is the first thing you will notice when you see a new iPhone 4. The design overhaul is very much noticeable. Apple has added the same glass it uses in the display, to the back of the iPhone body. This not only makes it more eye-catchy, but it is also scratch-resistant – so you don’t have to worry about buying separate covers anymore. The Glass used is 30% more stronger than in the previous iPhone. Apple has also designed the new aluminum chassis for the iPhone 4. The chassis doubles as antennas for the iPhone, making it less noisy and more clear. The new iPhone also supports micro-SIM format. It is 24% thinner overall and feels solid in hand. The 960-by-640 backlit LCD display boasts a pixel density of 326 pixels per inch, making it the highest-resolution phone screen ever. To achieve this, Apple engineers developed pixels so small — a mere 78 micrometers across — that the human eye can’t distinguish individual pixels. That makes text remarkably sharp and graphics incredibly vivid. IPS technology also provides excellent color and contrast from almost any viewing angle.

Software

The iPhone will come with OS 4. There are a few feature that make it worthwhile. Like long awaited multi0tasking and App grouping. The multi-tasking works on all the apps doesn’t drain out the battery that much either. The smart grouping of folder will just blow you away. If you want to group applications as folders, you just have to drag and drop then into one another and iPhone automatically groups them into a folder based upon the type of the apps. The homescreen now support wallpapers too.

Battery Time

One good thing about the A4 processor is that it is much smaller than its predecessors. Not onl does it allow more room for the battery, but it is much more power efficient. iPhone 4 gives 40% more talk-time than iPhone 3Gs on a single charge.

Talk time: up to 7 hours on 3G; up to 14 hours on 2G

Standby time: up to 300 hours

Internet use: up to 6 hours on 3G; up to 10 hours on Wi-Fi

Video playback: up to 10 hours

Audio playback: up to 40 hours

No word yet if it is going to be done with iPhone 3Gs model too. We will just have to wait and watch. Here is a YouTube video of the firmware running Cydia, a feature only jailbroken iPhones and iPod Touches can achieve.

Can anyone remember the days when a brick-sized Motorola cost as much as a city car? Mobile phones have certainly reached their ideal price point – quite often, next to nothing – but many consumers are still left with deals that just aren’t in their favour. From network locked handsets to expensive per-month calling plans, the number of tricky mobile phone deals out there is truly staggering.

Believe it or not, there are people that would rather just buy their handset up-front. Despite the popularity and proliferation of long-term calling plans, a growing number of mobile phone customers are looking for something else when they browse through the top 10 mobile phones: flexibility.

The Apple iPhone is a particularly well-known culprit – a mobile phone that’s drawn a laundry list of criticisms due to its closed platform, network locked status, and overwhelming anti-’jailbreak’ culture. Customers browsing for an iPhone that meets their needs – simple overseas use, pay-as-you-go calling plans, and the ability to be unlocked and modified – are often met with a sea of complex plans that make it difficult to know just where to find the phone.

UK customers have, quite rightfully, been let off easy when it comes to locked-down phone networks. United States carriers have been using calling plans and long-term contracts for years, not just as a way to subsidize the cost of high-end handsets, but to make unlocking and phone modification difficult for customers.

That means that the once-simple activity of purchasing an international SIM card has been rendered impossible. The rise in ‘phone control’ has lead to a grey market – importers, used phone dealers, and licensed retailers offering ‘unlocked’ phones without specific region information. What was once the norm has become a special case; a market where ‘flexible’ phone plans are available.

Of course, there are millions of consumers that appreciate the simplicity, value, and long-term convenience of a subsidized handset, long-term contract, and secure calling plan. They’ve opened smartphones up to a new market – before subsidized handsets and plans were the norm, the top 10 mobile phones all required a very significant upfront investment.

And despite the cries of inconvenience and ‘evil’ business from technology circles, the locked-down nature of many modern mobile phones isn’t something that’s plaguing consumers. Long-term plans offer some serious calling value, often priced at just a fraction of their pay-as-you-go counterparts. The common criticisms still hold true – inconvenienced and discouraged developers, and frustrating international service – but the end result is clear: cheaper handsets and better mobile phone deals.

It’s a proposition that’s, in reality, quite difficult to argue with. While a number of consumers appreciate the flexibility and power of unlocked mobile phones, the convenience of a subsidized handset often outweighs it. Travellers, ultra-busy businesspeople, and tech developers may disagree, but the public appears to have voted with their feet, or in this case, their wallets: today’s mobile phone deals are what people need.

It’s here, folks. The BlackBerry Tour has been unboxed, and now that we’ve had a few days to mess around with it, we’re able to tell you how we truly and deeply feel. There have been countless leaks and unofficial reviews circulating for the past few months, but now that it’s finally legit we can give this sexy piece of tech a proper shakedown. It’s been roughly described as a CDMA Bold, but does it surpass its GSM counterpart? Read on to find out!

O2 has been known to source its Xda line of smartphones from a number of different sources over the years including HTC and ASUS — but Pantech? We’re pretty sure that’s a new one. Then again, WinMo 6.1 dual sliders aren’t exactly easy to come by, so we suppose O2 simply did what it had to do to get one in the lineup when the time came. If this so-called Xda Venn looks familiar, that’s because it’s just a Matrix Pro tweaked with O2′s corporate branding, featuring the same 2 megapixel cam, GPS, and HSDPA as its North American cousin on AT&T. It’s not on sale yet through O2′s online shop, but the plumbing appears to be in place, so we’re guessing it’ll be available soon.

Nokia’s trying to make a big deal today about the fact that the N86 8MP will be coming to Nokia’s US flagship stores in New York and Chicago along with nokiausa.com in the “coming weeks,” but in light of the company’s recent North American strategy shift, the US availability of the N85, and the handling of the N97 launch, we’d be far more surprised if it wasn’t coming. As for pricing, you’re going to be looking at $558 out the door — an oddball price, to be sure, but considering that you’re getting arguably the best S60 3.2 device ever conceived, it seems within the realm of reason (and you’ll be able to get it through third-party retailers for considerably less, we’d wager). Who’s in?

Guess what the Gadget Stork delivered on our doorstep today? A robot baby? No. Better. An actual, real, in-the-Teflon HTC Hero. Let’s just say this — it’s pretty much the sexiest Android device ever created. We’re not going to go into too much detail right now, as we’re planning on delivering a full review next week, but we do want to say that this thing has our eyes glazed over like Scrooge McDuck checking out a pile of gold… if you know what we mean. HTC has truly outdone themselves here, not only with build quality (the thing kind of feels like a luxurious rock in your hand — it’s a good thing), but so far the software seems truly outstanding as well. Of course, we haven’t taken the deep dive yet, so for now, feast your eyes on these photos, and get ready for the main event.

After a patently absurd amount of delays, it actually feels like the Garmin-ASUS nüvifone tandem is approaching a proper launch. Whether or not anyone actually cares anymore, however, remains to be seen. Across the sea over in Malaysia, one particularly lucky soul seems to have stumbled upon both the Linux-based nüvifone G60 and the WinMo-powered nüvifone M20, and he claims that both handsets will be shipping en masse to the region “within 30 days.” Best of all, that totally jibes with what we’ve heard directly from Garmin today, which has informed us that the smartphone will be in Singaporean stores in August, with a few other Asian nations seeing it in late July. Now, if only North Americans could look forward to the same…
