The Symbian developer blog has posted some preliminary shots of Symbian^4?s new homescreen. Symbian^4 is the successor to Symbian^3 and is expected to be available in 2011. Symbian^3 is not on any shipping device yet, and the Nokia N8 should be the first device to ship with it; the N8 should be available anytime in the next 2 months or so.

Symbian^4 brings the interface of Symbian to look more like a modern operating system in the veins of Android and iOS. We’ll have to wait till it is released to learn whether there are any special, differentiating characteristics from the competition.

After the user complaint about the iPhone 4 antenna, Apple has a section on its website to demonstrate the three smartphones currently in the market that show the same problem as the iPhone 4.

From the website:

Understanding attenuation and signal loss.
The opposite of amplification, attenuation happens whenever a signal is obstructed. All antennas — including television, radio, GPS, and cellular antennas — can experience attenuation. And with most antennas, the density and composition of the human hand can cause attenuation to a greater degree than some other materials. On a mobile phone, signal loss typically occurs when your hand attenuates the most sensitive part of the antenna. In the photos and videos below, we demonstrate how different grips cause attenuation on many popular smartphones — including iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS.

In any case, Apple is using a tried and tested PR tactic to deviate attention from the real issue by putting forth an argument that the iPhone 4 is not the only phone with such a problem.

It will be interesting to see if Samsung, HTC and BlackBerry will respond to this.

By the way, if you missed the press connference earlier, here’s a link to the official video. Enjoy.

Motorola has officially announced the Motorola Charm which is a QWERTY device running on Android 2.1 (Eclaire). The device looks pretty sleek and this will appeal for those who prefer candybar qwerty phones like Blackberry/Nokia E71.

According to motorola official website, apart from having a QWERTY keyboard, the Charm features a 2.8″ touchscreen and a touchpad behind the device called the “Backtrack”. For camera, it spots a 3MP camera with “Kodak Perfect Touch Technology” which they claims produces better and brighter pictures. For better enhanced voice call, it even has a 2nd microphone to cancel out background noise.

Digi always come with suprise, but this suprise is expected as the arrival of the iPhone 4 is near and carriers overseas have done the same price slash as well. What we concern now is when will pre-orders for iPhone 4 be announced and what is the price for iPhone 4?

DiGi has slashed its iPhone 3GS prices by RM200 and also reduced its monthly iPhone plans as well. Its iDiGi 88, 138 and 238 have been slashed to RM60, RM90 and RM160 monthly respectively. Not forgetting also is that a new 8GB iPhone 3GS will be coming as the lowest entry phone and it may be priced ever lower than current offerings. Click here to check the old price. This is good news to those like the iPhone 3GS design want a cheaper iPhone.
