Nokia M31 Phone Design Comes With Two Touchscreens

Jon DeGorsky created a brand new Nokia concept phone, the M31, that impresses through its dual touchscreen displays. It seems that the handset is inspired by crop circles, in the visual department.

The two integrated displays are revealed after sliding the phone and you have to know that the top screen will show contacts, Internet browsing features, a mailbox, messaging functions, games, calendar and settings.

Nokia M31’s inner display provides the virtual numeric keyboard, also the interface changing bar and the “letter interface”. I can also spot a camera at the back of the handset and all in all, the device is pretty good, albeit a tad too short for my taste.

Nokia 2030 Cellphone Features an Illuminated Touch Keypad

Here’s the Nokia cellphone concept of 2030, in case you wanted a taste of the future… Created by Jim Chan, the Nokia 2030 features a scratch-resistant finished body, plus a full color display and an illuminated touch keypad.

Fast messaging is the purpose of this unit and we learn that the phone measures 2 x 4.75 x 0.25 inches and attaches colored films at the rear, to change its color. Polished titanium is the choice of metal for the case area that protects the screen. This handset looks like some sort of futuristic keycard that grants access to a high tech facility and we bet it’ll have e-wallet features and a transparent UI.

Nokia ClearBlack Display Explanation Video

What I have here is an explanation video covering what Nokia’s new ClearBlack displays are all about in case you are somewhat confused at what the new displays on the Nokia E7 and Nokia C6-01 are all about.

The Nokia ClearBlack Display explanation video comes our way courtesy of Mark Guim over at The Nokia Blog and by way of the Nokia YouTube account, and lasts a minute and a half of marketing the ClearBlack display.

Apparently ClearBlack ensures your Nokia smartphone has blacker blacks, brighter colours, whiter whites, is completely visible indoors and outdoors on bright and sunny days, and also has zero reflection, although they are somewhat more technical about it.

Anyway rather than me try to explain Nokia’s ClearBlack it is much simpler for you to hear it from Nokia themselves, so head on down, mash that play button and check out CleakBlack on Nokia…enjoy.

10 Fast and Free Security Enhancements

Before you spend a dime on security, there are many precautions you can take that will protect you against the most common threats.

1. Check Windows Update and Office Update regularly (_http://office.microsoft.com/productupdates); have your Office CD ready. Windows Me, 2000, and XP users can configure automatic updates. Click on the Automatic Updates tab in the System control panel and choose the appropriate options.

2. Install a personal firewall. Both SyGate (_www.sygate.com) and ZoneAlarm (_www.zonelabs.com) offer free versions.


3. Install a free spyware blocker. Our Editors' Choice ("Spyware," April 22) was SpyBot Search & Destroy (_http://security.kolla.de). SpyBot is also paranoid and ruthless in hunting out tracking cookies.

4. Block pop-up spam messages in Windows NT, 2000, or XP by disabling the Windows Messenger service (this is unrelated to the instant messaging program). Open Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Services and you'll see Messenger. Right-click and go to Properties. Set Start-up Type to Disabled and press the Stop button. Bye-bye, spam pop-ups! Any good firewall will also stop them.

5. Use strong passwords and change them periodically. Passwords should have at least seven characters; use letters and numbers and have at least one symbol. A decent example would be f8izKro@l. This will make it much harder for anyone to gain access to your accounts.
