Google has just released their new flagship Android phone, the Google Galaxy Nexus. There is a quick run down of the Google Galaxy Nexus specs against other mainstream smartphones.
There has been a lot of reports that the iPhone 5 and Google Nexus 3 will be launched at the same time at the end of September.
Most people already know a lot about the upcoming iPhone 5, but there is limited information about the Google Nexus 3.
The Google Nexus 3 isnt expected to be your average Android handset. The Nexus 3 will feature Android 4 software, which is expected to show off an all new user interface for the operating system. It will be very interesting to see if Google can actually ramp of sales of their own handsets, because up until now they have been unable to compete!
If you’re bored of your island and your Learjet, and your Monet just doesn’t do it for you anymore, you may want to consider this brand new smartphone from Swiss luxury watchmaker Tag Heuer. With a price tag set at just 4,700 euros, or only $6,820 dollars, you may want to consider getting one for the trophy wife as well.
Even the richest among us need cell phones, so why not go all out? The Link, the latest entry-level smartphone from Tag Heuer, has a wide spectrum of features, although, some may say, not enough to quite justify its price tag. It runs on Android 2.2, has a 3.5 inch TFT display, and features a five-megapixel camera so you can show off your mansion to the in-laws. The Link is also Stereo Bluetooth and Wi-Fi capable and has a starting memory of 256 megabytes, which is expandable to as much eight gigabytes with the appropriate memory cards. The sturdy little battery allows for up to six hours of talk time per charge, but put the Link on standby and the battery can last you up to two weeks.
Of course, the features aren’t why you would invest nearly seven thousand dollars on this gadget. The Link is made from only the highest quality materials – gold, titanium, a few diamonds, if you like. The best thing about this cutting edge design from Tag Heuer is that, like many of their best-selling watches, the consumer can specify the materials from which he wishes to have his phone made. Besides the above choices, also on the menu are steel, platinum, and silver. Although the phone cannot be made entirely of diamond – diamond just gets such poor signal quality – the manufacturers can throw in a few diamonds to be encrusted into the surface, if you please. Trims are also available in Calfskin leather.
Whether you prefer CDMA or GSM, there will be a Link for you, available for the carrier of your choice. The Link’s screen is made out of high-end Corning’s Gorilla Glass, much like the screen of the iPhone, and this should help your diamond-encrusted jewel box to last a little longer no matter how roughly you handle it. Availability of the Link hasn’t yet been announced, although it will probably not show up in the electronics section of Wal-Mart.
The Link is the second high-end smartphone produced by Tag Heuer. Their first release, the 2008 Meridiist feature phone, was priced at a mere $5,000 and had even less features than the Link. These two from Tag Heuer are actually comparatively quite cheap when it comes to high-priced smartphones. The price cake was taken in 2010 by an eight million dollar iPhone built by Stuart Hughes, a designer from the United Kingdom. It included the obligatory gold-plating and diamond-encrusting – over one hundred karats in total. There have also been quite a few Blackberrys custom made to quite exotic and opulent specifications, for those of us who are both filthy rich and have a mind for the business and organizational end of things.

The Rotary Mechanical Smartphone is a very cool modern touch screen phone that has been steampunked! I really love the old school dial and the touchscreen combination.
The longer the phone is carried around and used, the more attractive it will get: the overlying layer of paint will wear away to expose the electroplated copper body beneath.
