The Samsung Divas S7070 was mentioned here back in December and now that same phone has been officially released in the UK via the Carphone Warehouse.

This is the same Samsung handset that comes with a touch screen feature and is targeting the female mobile phone users.

To refresh you, among the features of the Samsung Divas S7070 include a 2.8” QVGA touch screen display, TouchWiz, quad-band, social networking capability and.

A 3.2MP autofocus camera. You can get the Samsung Divas S7070 with a contract via O2. Alternatively, it can be purchased from T-Mobile which is offering the phone for free but with at least a £15 per month contract.

Sony decided that the Xperia Pureness X5 should go somewhere its other Xperia line phones hadn’t gone – to fashion school.  While most of its kin are smart phones with all of the fancy features you would expect, the Xperia Pureness X5 is not as technological, but it is beautiful.

Designed to be an eye-catcher rather than a wizard, its most stunning feature is its see-through screen.  How does a see-through screen work?  Mostly a see-through phone works by having a screen that is visible on both sides of the phone.

The see-through screen isn’t even practical; it’s just kind of there to make the phone impressive.  Which it does, especially if you can read backwards, since the reverse side is a mirror image of the front side, literally.

You remember how that works from grammar school.  If you want to get the effect before buying the phone, just write something on a sheet of paper in block letters, and then hold it in front of the mirror.

Australians should look overseas when buying new tech gadgets and other items instead of waiting for local retailers to react to the soaring Australian dollar, CommSec chief economist Craig James says.

Australia's currency has rocketed from 63 US cents in March this year to about 91.5 US cents today, James said, but local retailers and importers have not necessarily dropped their prices.

A dual-SIM phone lets you mix work and play by having two SIM cards in one phone, so you can make and receive calls and texts from both numbers. That way, you can take calls from the Justice League while still keeping up your secret identity when you text your nan.

It's also handy if you travel a lot and use two SIM cards to avoid roaming charges. The concept is a rare beast here in the UK, although it's more common in Asia.  And be still our beating hearts, because Onyx promises us the next phone it releases will have Google's Android operating system -- the same OS that's on the HTC Hero. It's proven itself to be powerful, flexible and easy to use, and it'll be the first dual-SIM Android phone we know of.

Pity the  sweatshop gadget bloggers, who are compelled to chat up every incremental upgrade to the same old phones most of us carry around all day. That’s because change comes slowly to mobile phones. One reason is that many consumers just take the dumb phones their wireless carriers give them for free.

Another reason: cellphone manufacturers, already struggling when Great Depression 2.0 came along, are loath to retool their cookie-cutter factories and gamble on new designs. LG seems ready to embark on a little risk-taking, however. The Korean electronics maker recently awarded about $80,000 to designers in a contest at the CrowdSpring Ablinski’s idea, from which LG will build a prototype, is for a core phone that slides into a larger shell, which could be a touch screen or a netbook.

In true “Art Vandelay’’ fashion, Ablinski said it took her less than four days to lay out the idea for the phone, which she has dubbed the CC. LG will also build prototypes for the contest’s two other top entries: They are a clamshell phone with a swiveling display for gaming, and a phone that has multiple touch screens - layered one on top of the other, as in a reporter’s spiral notebook - for multi-taskers.

Sometimes, we get excited about the little things. For example, when we first saw the Sony Ericsson W995a at GSMA 2009 we got excited not because it has an 8.1-megapixel camera and a Walkman player we've seen those before but because it had a 3.5-millimeter headset jack and kickstand.

Yes, we know that those features may seem insignificant when compared with a flashy media player, but as usability goes, you can't top them. The kickstand lets you prop the phone on a table and the standard jack lets you use your own headset. Did we mention that the W995 is the first Sony Ericsson phone to give you such freedom?

Besides those high points, the W995a has other attractions, even if it's not the sexiest phone around. The display is brilliant, the media player performs well, and the feature set includes Wi-Fi, stereo Bluetooth, and GPS. It also is a full quad-band world phone that supports AT&T's 3G network.
