Our friend Eldar over at Mobile-Review has managed to get his hands on a Kurara, the much leaked HD video recording handset that we’ve being seeing so much of lately. Eldar revealed that Kurara is packing a Cortex A8 processor and 256 MB of RAM as well as a PowerVR graphics processor. All this corroborates the 720p HD video recording we’ve heard about and the Symbian UI is supposedly most responsive and fluid indeed. Eldar went on to say that in terms of price we’d be looking at around 500 euros and could expect to see it sometime in February.
Keep your eyes on Mobile-Review tomorrow as Eldar is promising a more full-on preview and more pictures!
It looks like Satio is to be pulled from sale at the Carphone Warehouse in the UK. The reason for the pull is being cited as software issues, an all too familiar problem for Sony Ericsson handsets. Interestingly enough the silver version of the handset is still available for sale, just not the black version. There’s also no word on whether or not this recall will affect other retailers in the UK or in other countries. It’s an embarrassing move for Sony Ericsson given that they will want to put the past year or two’s seemingly endless parade of bug prone handsets behind them, only to have their current flagship handset yanked from sale.
Today is the 11th of November, which is Remembrance Day in the UK. Other countries may know it as Armistice Day or Veterans Day. It is on this day that we remember and pay our respects to the millions of men and women who have fought for us in war, many of them making the ultimate sacrifice and laying down their lives to ensure that we shall remain free.
To commemorate Remembrance Day TehkSeven have released a Poppy theme for various mobiles including Nokia E Series devices, Symbian 5th Edition Handsets and Sony Ericsson handsets. Please take a look and see if your handset is listed.
