Femtocells are small devices that resemble wireless routers that take cellular signals indoors and route them across the Internet allowing users to get better reception when in their home or office. Most femtocells focus on being able to improve voice call quality and fail to mention benefits provided in data speeds.

Airvana has been showing off its HubBub CDMA femtocell and is focusing on the improvements the device offers on broadband speeds and connectivity indoors rather than voice call quality. The company says that studies have shown that while 36% of voice calls with mobile phones happen inside a user’s home, 45% of data usage happens inside the home.

If you like the Motorola Aura and love yourself some fake luxury, you’ll want to check out this latest knock-off. It adds the popular and overpriced Louis Vuitton treatment to Moto’s phone. It’s called the Imobile Phone V453.

This bastard love child of branding ditches the Aura’s circular display for a square-within-a-circle display. It also has a ring of LED lights around the display. That at least is new.

The Xenium X810 is Philips latest arrival in the cell phone arena and it’s quite different from what we’re used to seeing from this brand. This model comes equipped with a touchscreen to slurp up power like a little vampire.

Some features include: a 240 x 400 pixel TFT touchscreen display with 262K colors, Navigation, Quad-band GSM connectivity with EDGE, 3.2 megapixel camera with flash, Bluetooth and USB connectivity, 45MB internal memory, microSDHC memory card slot, and up to one month of stand-by time. We don’t know when this will arrive, but it will likely debut in China.

We don’t blame you for not recognizing the name. Emgeton Enzo sounds like some kind of foreign race car driver or something, but the Emgeton Enzo is a cell phone. The 3G handset is powered by a Qualcomm/Philips chipset and can run two SIM cards simultaneously and independently of each other.

Some specs include: 2.2″ TFT display at 240 x 320 resolution, Tri-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE connectivity (900/1800/1900MHz), HSDPA 2100 connectivity (only for the first SIM card), Bluetooth connectivity, MP3/video player, 2 megpapixel camera, VGA camera for video calls, 50MB internal memory, microSD memory card slot

Yesterday we showed you a Dual sim phone modeled after a Dubai building. How about a triple SIM phone not modeled after a building? Yes, it’s an actual dual sim phone. Even if it does seem extreme. The device is manufactured by QiiQ EcoCarrier Inc. operating out of the RAK Free Economic Zone in UAE.

It can hold three SIM cards but activate only two at any one time, making it convenient if you have several phone numbers and need to keep your personalities separate. Some features include 900/1800/1900MHz and 900/1800MHz GSM connectivity, 2 megapixel camera and a 2.4” QVGA display.

When you run out of inspiration while designing a phone, just turn to modern architecture. That’s the story behind this odd looking handset. It was inspired by the Burj Al Arab building in Dubai. Where they build all those crazy futuristic buildings.

If you like the style of that part of the world, why not pick up the dual-SIM SBMP-N90 cell phone? Sadly, what’s under the hood is nowhere near as cutting edge as the actual buildings. It’s just a standard GSM and a 1.3 megapixel camera.

Ulysse Nardin’s upcoming Chairman will be officially unveiled at Baselworld later this month. It’s billed as a “hybrid smart phone” and before you ask, no you can’t afford it. It will feature a visible, fully-functional kinetic rotor that will assist it in getting power, just like in a mechanical wristwatch.

There are not a ton of details, but we know that it’ll be unlocked and limited to 1,846 pieces. Full details should arrive around March 26 when Baselworld kicks off. You can use that time to save up, steal, sell all of your possessions, and still fall short of it’s asking price.

Usable gaming controls on a name brand phone? No. Usable game controls on a not-so-name-brand phone. The Cool8800C handset from Solomobi looks like a typical Chinese phone, but has a few nice features that might make you consider a purchase. It supports dual-SIM cards, has an analog TV tuner and other features you’d expect in a new cellphone.

What really makes this one stand out is the flip out screen and keypad that reveals another larger screen underneath along with gaming controls. It only plays classic NES titles though and comes with 3 built-in. If you want more you can load them with a memory card.

The LG Versa may be one to look out for. It will feature a bunch of accessories aimed at fashionistas, with fashionable items from the likes of Liz Claiborne and Dooney & Burke, plus several water resistant, sport, and plain leather cases that will keep the Versa safe.

The LG Versa itself will launch in March for $199.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate and a contract. If you want, you can spend another $29.99 for a compatible game pad controller for cell phone gaming.

A few days ago we introduced you to Samsung’s Blue Earth, their solar powered touchscreen phone. Well, if you like your mobile phones eco-friendly, here’s another choice.

The ZTE Coral 200 Eco Phone is from Digicel, a Jamaican Mobile Carrier. It’s an entry level candy-bar style phone with a solar panel on the back which charges the phone up when the battery gets low. There aren’t a lot of features, but it does have a color display. It should be available by June of this year.

The Pantech Matrix Pro is a dual-sliding smartphone that resembles the Helio Ocean, with a slide-out keypad and a separate, slide-out QWERTY keyboard.

It will be powered by Windows Mobile 6.1 with support for Outlook/Office. Some features include a microSDHC memory card slot that lets you carry up to 32GB of data, 3G connectivity, and a small 2.4″ LCD. AT&T will be carrying the Pantech Matrix Pro within the next few days for $180.

The Paul Frank monkey is almost as pervasive as Hello Kitty. I’m not sure which to fear more. But I know that one day they will fight it out Aliens VS. Predator style and we will then know our new master.

Until that day, the merchandising train keeps rolling along. This Paul Frank Monkey shaped mobile phone is not an official product. It’s a clamshell phone with one eye that works as camera. It’s a pretty basic phone that features a 1.6 inch TFT display screen, 1.3-megapixel camera, FM radio, Bluetooth, music player, stereo speakers and a microSD expansion slot.

Smartphone hacking and theft is on the rise and one of the reason is that hackers know many smartphone users have all sorts of sensitive information stored on their devices. Think about the content on your iPhone, you have passwords, email accounts, maybe even personal data like social security numbers on it.

A new software product from Callpod is now available on the App Store called Keeper that makes it easy and secure to keep any sensitive information you want stored on your iPhone. The app uses 128-bit AES military grade encryption and can back up the data to your computer as well.

Samsung and T-Mobile officially let slip yesterday word of an upcoming 8-megapixel digital camera mobile. It is the new Memoir (SGH-t929) and there’s no official word yet on pricing or availability.

The Samsung Memoir, said the two companies, is designed to look and feel like a regular digital camera. It has a built-in flash, 16x digital zoom and five shooting modes. It is also said to be easy to share photos taken on it with others via direct postings to popular online photo sharing Web sites.

So, what can we take away from this image? I think it says that hot women love ridiculous gadgets. In pink. Shaped like a Flipper. I think we can also safely say, judging by this image that, should a woman slide her phone into a flipper shaped case, cleavage will follow.

If you hit the link, you’ll see some more hot women who worship the stupidest phone case ever, as well as some happy looking douche that looks like he should be on the beach trying to bum some money off you. Oh, and there’s also a shot of this thing hanging from your belt loop and looking oh so hip.
