| Posted: 20 Feb 2009 09:20 PM PST Automobile companies associating themselves with mobile phones is not something that is entirely new. You have seen the Nokia BMW phone concept or the Porsche design phone. The main thing here being that either these phones fall into the concept phone category like the BMW phone or they are pretty costly for people like you and me to buy.
This new phones comes from the Korean car manufacturer, Hyundai. By the way Hyundai is into shipping, electronics, logistics but is known around the world for its cars. Anyway, this is the Dolphin phone code named as Hyundai MB-490i. The phone has a vibrant touch screen display with 240 x 400 resolution. Even the navigation pad that you can see in the picture above is touch sensitive. Apart from this the phone sports a 3.2 mega pixel snapper, FM and stereo Bluetooth. There is no information available on the price of the phone but the phone looks nice especially the navigation pad. The phone was spotted on GSMHelpDesk Forum and there is no official information about the phone. |
A malicious worm in China is on the loose and is targeting Symbian based Nokia mobile phones. The worm is being spread through mobile messages and is named as "SymbOS/Yxes.A!worm". The worm is also known as Sexy View and is only targeting Nokia devices in China running S60 3rd Edition. It seems that some developer or brainy geek is damn pissed off with Nokia in China as this problem has not been heard in any other country. The worm's distribution pattern is also unique as it is using the SMS path where as earlier attacks on mobile phones happened through MMS or emails, which allow attachments.
