GSMA urges NTC of Thailand to license for 3G services
The GSMA, the global trade association for the mobile industry, urged the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) of Thailand to license the 2100MHz spectrum band for 3G services by August 2008. The rollout of 3G, enhanced by HSPA*, will greatly improve the availability of broadband services in Thailand – only 2.2%** of households have broadband connections today and the country lags behind many of its neighbours in this respect.
“Laying new fixed line connections is expensive and inefficient so high-speed mobile networks are Thailand’s best bet to realize the many social and economic benefits that arise from widespread access to broadband services,” said Ricardo Tavares, Senior Vice President for Public Policy of the GSMA. “Although refarming the 900MHz and 850MHz bands will help kickstart the Mobile Broadband market, it is also important that the licensing of the 2100MHz band proceeds at a fast pace, as many 3G and HSPA devices are designed for use in this globally harmonised band.”
GSMA Report - ‘how mobile can bring communications to all’
The GSM Association, the global trade association for the mobile industry, has called on the Indian government to cut in half the 5% levy on telecom operators’ gross adjusted revenues, which is channeled into the Universal Service Obligation Fund (USOF). The levy is increasing operators’ costs and ultimately the cost of mobile services for consumers. The GSMA recommends that the unspent $2.5 billion in India’s USOF be used to help tackle the bottlenecks, such as a lack of backhaul capacity and electric power, currently slowing down the rollout of mobile networks into rural areas.
"Universal Service Funds are another telecoms-specific tax that increases the cost of access for consumers,” said Gabriel Solomon, Senior Vice President of Public Policy of the GSMA, speaking at the Commonwealth Telecommunications Organisation’s Connecting Rural Communities Asia Forum. “Globally, 75% of the cash in Universal Service Funds is unspent*. We strongly support the call by Nirpendra Misra, the Chairman of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India, to cut the 5% levy by at least half and remove handset taxes as that would make mobile phones more affordable for rural consumers and spur industry investment in currently un-served areas.”

Mobile Phones - No More a Comfort, But a Necessity
The long range, portable electronic device used for telecommunication that uses a network of specialized base stations known as cell sites are popularly known as mobile phone. Also known as hand phone, this gadget supports many other services and accessories such as SMS for text messaging, email, and MMS for sending photos and videos. Most of these mobile phones connect to a cellular network of base stations which are interconnected to the public switched telephone network. The history of the phones that require no cable begins from 1945. It was in that year, the zero generation of handsets got introduced. Motorola Dyna TAC was the first approved mobile phone that got released in 1983. The cellular systems needed various leaps of technology including handover that permits a conversation to continue from cell to cell. In the present day, these phones have become a popular device.
NTT launched the first commercial cellular network in 1979 in Japan. It was in the middle of eighties that fully automatic cellular networks got introduced. Radiolinja launched the first modern network technology on digital 2G in Finland in 1991. This was the beginning of the competition among the mobile companies. Nokia mobile phones, Samsung mobile phones, and LG mobile phones are some other leading names in the mobile phone market. The handsets in those periods were of big size and could not be easily carried in the pockets. It was by the middle of nineties that they became portable. The market of this particular type of phones showed a sudden increase in the developed countries. In many European countries, the total number of mobile phones is more than the number of the people. As per a study by Eurostat, Luxembourg has the highest mobile penetration rate at 158 mobile subscribers per 100 people followed by Lithuania and Italy. The mobile penetration rate in Hong Kong is 139.8% of the total population while in the U.S, it is 81%. The growth rate of African cellular markets is twice faster than Asian markets. It is the availability of pay-as-you go services that helped in the growth of the African market. India is one of the largest growing markets for mobile networks. It adds up about 6 million phones every month taking the total number of subscribers to 256.55 million.
The main problem faced by the handset users is the rise in the number of models in the market. Each model comes out carrying features and services that are technically advanced. Sony Ericsson has recently released a few models that are really stunning. It becomes necessary for the user to consider various factors while using a mobile phone. In most of the cases, it is seen that users use up every last drop of their energy before they recharge; which should be avoided. It will be foolish to recharge the phone, while it is not holding the charge for a long time. In such a case the purchase of a new battery will be more beneficial.
The life of the Mobile Phones could be extended by lowering the brightness of the screen back light. The receiving of the signal is a big reason for the drainage of the cell battery. It will be therefore better to limit playing games, listening to music, taking picture or surfing internet on the handset as all these will drain the battery faster. Make it sure that the downloading of web features, games, ring tones, wall paper and screen savers do not recur fees as it may eat a big share of the monthly bill.
The mobile subscribers while purchasing a cell phone with one or two year contract or pay-per use agreement must have a complete idea of the usage of phone. This will help in cutting short the phone bills. Never forget to ensure that the roaming charges are a part of the deal as otherwise the bills will shoot up while traveling. Be careful of the hidden costs before signing the agreement. The user should also make sure that the parts and accessories could be easily obtained from any regular phone store. Even the purchase of the mobile phone from any internet based company should not create problems in availing the spare parts.

Sony Ericsson announces year-on-year volume growth of 2%
Units shipped in the quarter were 22.3 million, a 2% increase compared to the same period last year and in line with our March 19, 2008 interim announcement of 22 million units. Sales for the quarter were Euro 2,702 million, a decrease of 8% on a year ago due to slowing market growth in mid-to-high end phones in markets where Sony Ericsson has a strong presence.
Gross margin was one percentage point lower than Q1 2007, reflecting a less favourable product mix. Income before taxes for the quarter was Euro 193 million, which was at the higher end of the range (Euro 150-200 million) we announced on March 19, 2008. This represented a decrease of 47% compared with a year ago, due to higher R&D investments as a percentage of sales, and reflecting that Q1 2007 was a particularly strong first quarter for the company. Net income for the quarter was 48% lower, at Euro 133 million.
“Sony Ericsson continues to invest in expanding its product portfolio to appeal to a wider variety of consumers in both new and existing markets,” said Dick Komiyama, President, Sony Ericsson. “Our product announcements during the first quarter have been well received by the industry, and we expect to see a positive effect from these announcements during the second half of 2008.”

Samsung teams up with Beyonce for SGH-F300
SAMSUNG, an innovator in the mobile industry, announced the collaboration of its Ultra Music (SGH-F300) with Beyonce, world’s renowned actress and artist. SAMSUNG and Beyonce will participate in TV commercials, advertisements, global concert tours, and other co-promotional activities.
SAMSUNG’s Ultra Music TV commercial, starring Beyonce, will kick off the campaign globally in May, starting from Europe and CIS and expanding to other countries where SAMSUNG Ultra Music phones are available. In addition, Ultra Music mobile users will have exclusive access to Beyoncé’s latest hit “Irreplaceable,” which comes embedded in their mobile phones.
SAMSUNG mobiles cover a wide range of consumer needs with the right balance of stylish designs, form factors, and the latest technological features. Beyonce is a talented individual who has shown her versatility in the entertainment industry through music, acting, and as a fashion icon.
Samsung SGH-F700 with minimalist twist
Announced just one month after the iPhone's momentous launch, the SAMSUNG SGH-F700 bears a striking resemblance to Apple's phone. Touted by some pundits as the iPhone killer, the F700 has yet to fulfill the expectations since its launch last year.
Looks Can Kill:
Without a doubt, the F700 is a looker of a phone. The glossy finish of its exterior manages to conceal the plastic origins of its chassis while you can replace the back cover with a non-glossy version if you can't stand unsightly fingerprint smudges.
The relatively sparse front profile is complemented by side buttons which give quick access to volume and camera functions. The lack of the usual keypad is remedied with an on-screen touch version and a QWERTY keyboard that easily slides out with a whoosh. The USB data connection and earphone jacks are located at the top of the unit, while the microSD expansion slot that supports up to 4GB's worth of data is hidden behind the back cover, which is slightly inconvenient if tolerable. The 3.0-megapixel camera is also located behind, but it lacks a protective lens cover.
Samsung i550 powered by Symbian platform
Lately, we've seen a myriad of SAMSUNG mobile phones powered by the Symbian platform in the race to produce a mobile device that merges both simplicity and productivity. The SAMSUNG i550 seems intent on that purpose and is designed as a Symbian powerhouse that could give its competitors a run for their money.
Sliding Doors:
Out of the box, the i550W gives a slightly lacklustre impression due to its plastic build. Nonetheless, this is the reason why it's only 109g, which bodes well for consumers with a penchant for lighter phones. On the display front, SAMSUNG is definitely generous, delivering a 2.6" TFT screen with 262k colours while supporting a standard resolution of 240 x 320 pixels.
Moving downwards, we had a slight grouse with the i550W's keypad design. Like the Nokia's N82, the individual numeric keys are too thin for effective typing, though it does have a greater degree of traction for a better tactile feel as opposed to the N82's smoother keys. We also found the trackball sensitivity to be lacking compared to the Blackberry Pearl series. Besides the standard Call and End button, there are two user assigned shortcut keys and four dedicated shortcuts for the Main Menu, Web Browser, GPS and Multimedia.
Giant Samsung phone in Hand Icon unveils at Pearson
Visitors traveling to and from Toronto’s Pearson International Airport will notice a unique icon blending art and advertising. Toronto has become the 22nd international airport to erect a 50 foot tall outdoor sculpture of a hand holding a Samsung branded cell phone.
The unique structure is part of Samsung’s global and innovative “World In Your Hand” campaign that began in France’s Charles De Gaulle International Airport in 2002. Since then, similar sculptures have been placed in high-traffic airports including those in Paris, London and Dubai. Samsung also plans to expand the campaign to 35 more airports in the coming years.
“These impressive sculptures symbolize Samsung’s role as an innovator in the wireless market and our goal to bring people together through communication,” says Benjamin Lee, President, Samsung Canada. “Specifically in the Canadian market, this sculpture represents Samsung’s strong brand presence and our excitement to be a Worldwide Olympic Partner for the upcoming Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics.”

Two New Mobiles To Peruse
News has been leaked onto the internet about two new Sony Ericsson mobile phones due out later this year. The two phones are the Sony Ericsson G502 and the Sony Ericsson P1 and they should be announced officially by the mobile manufacturer later this week - when more information will be known about the specifications.

There is nothing truly spectacular about the Sony Ericsson G502, but that does not necessarily mean it is a poor quality phone. Sony Ericsson mobiles are generally good quality, even the 2 megapixel camera will be of a high standard image on the screen. And the HSDPA should set it apart from a few other mobiles on the market.
Finally there is the Sony Ericsson P5, which is the new smartphone offering from the popular manufacturer. Slightly less is known about this mobile, but what few things we do know are very exciting. The Sony Ericsson P5 is a smartphone with a qwerty keypad hidden under the slide part. It will be a smartphone running off the latest UIQ 3.3 UI for Symbian operating system, with a 5 megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, GPS and HSDPA.
So the P5 really is the one to watch, there is no word on release dates for either of the new Sony Ericsson's - more information will be made available once the phones are officially announced.

The Sony Ericsson P1-Mobile Review
Join me, as I tell you about why I love this king among mobile phones, the beautiful Sony Ericsson P1.
Sony Ericsson - redefining the smartphone
Sony Ericsson are, in my opinion, one of the single best mobile phone manufacturers on the planet. But then, I would say that, since all but one of my mobile phones have been Sony Ericsson (the one that wasn't was a Samsung... nice, but not in the same league). One of the big things they've become known for is their range of smartphones. Over the years, they've produced some real stunners: the P800, P900, P910, P990 (although most people didn't like this one as much, I did...) and the most recent, the P1. That, right there, is their entire back catalogue of P-series smartphones. And yes, I've owned every single one of those. I can honestly say I will, in all likelihood, never use anything but a Sony Ericsson smartphone, for the rest of my life, because, well, they really are stunners.
But why are they? Let's take a look at the latest, the P1, and see why it's so good.
The P1 - showing the world what mobile phones SHOULD be like!
In one word, if I had to describe the Sony Ericsson P1, it would be: stunning! Based around the Symbian UIQ3 interface, with a full touchscreen, and QWERTY keyboard, it's very clear that this phone is designed to be more than just a phone. the best way to think of it would be as a computer in your hand. with a super-powered processor, 128Mb of RAM, it combines the power of something like a Windows Mobile device with the ease of use that we've come to expect from mobile phones.
And that, right there, is why it's the king of smartphones. Not because it's the most powerful (it's not), not because it's the prettiest (it's not, although it is gorgeous), and not because it's the fastest (it's not). It's very simple; it's the combination of those elements. So, while there may be more powerful, faster, or prettier mobile phones out there, the simple fact is that nothing, NOTHING mixes it all up, and puts it all together as well as the Sony Ericsson P1. That's why i adore it, and it's also why I'll be getting its successor, the P5 when it finally gets launched!

Nokia signs up Sony to provide music for mobile phone users
Nokia Corp. announced Tuesday that Sony BMG has joined the mobile phone maker's music service, which will enable users to download and listen to tracks on Nokia handsets.

"It's great to have them on board as we move forward with bringing our unlimited music bundle to the market."
Last year, Nokia signed up Universal Music Group in a deal that includes a year's unlimited access to millions of tracks for Nokia handset buyers, and said Tuesday that it is also "in discussion with many other international labels."
