China Mobile has been working on OMS for quite some time now. With the Apple deal going nowhere after multiple rounds of negotiations (because of China Mobile’s refusal to share any of its profits), it needs an OS of it’s own. A well placed source said,”Given these(iPhone, Android, Symbian) developments, it is becoming very clear that developing a proprietary handset operating system is essential for dominance of the mobile Internet market in China. At the moment, China Mobile is in a comparatively weak position without its own operating system. With its own operating system, China Mobile will be able to commission customized phones from handset makers and keep its hand strong in negotiations over profit sharing. There is even the possibility that China Mobile may move into manufacturing handsets itself.”
No word on specs yet but the pic should give some feelers.

The Nokia N97 is most definitely one of the most loaded N-series devices out there, but that’s not it’s all about. The N97 is the first high-end device powered by the latest touchscreen Symbian S60 OS. And if the 3.5-inch touchscreen display is not enough for you, you can always slide-and-tilt it up so the large full QWERTY keyboard gets revealed.
Tri-band HSDPA and quad-band GSM ensure world wide roaming, but the new Nokia N97 also boasts 32GB of internal memory, a 5 megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, GPS, touch-enabled Nokia Maps with a digital compass, an accelerometer for auto screen rotation and a proximity sensor for auto screen turn-off during calls.
The 16M color 3.5-inch touchscreen TFT display has a resolution of 360 x 640 pixels that should meet all your handheld widescreen multimedia needs. Of course all the basics are covered too - with stereo Bluetooth, 3.5mm audio jack, TV-out and FM radio with RDS.
As you can imagine the loaded Nokia N97 is quite hefty - it weighs 150 g, but size-wise it’s not bigger than say, the Apple iPhone 3G (except in thickness, that is).

Using a car as your source of inspiration is always a pretty neat idea, but when the car itself is a concept design, things get stunning. J. Havrlant designed the Sony Ericsson T903 concept phone, inspired by Ryuga, one of Mazda’s hottest futuristic automobiles.
