Well into 2009, 8-megapixel cell phones have been around for about a year now and we have already thoroughly compared them. Similarly to the slightly belated market entry of the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, the manufacturer is now taking on the cameraphone niche with their Nokia N86 8MP. It is a double slider like the Nokia N95 and Nokia N85 and is being extolled as a device with superb camera that allows taking of excellent pictures in both natural and artificial lighting conditions. Aside from it, the N86 8MP’s camera is the first in a cell phone with variable aperture. In theory, this would allow better sensitivity to light and improved picture depth.

Sure, it’s not the prettiest phone, hell, it’s not even the most fully functional but Sony’s recently announced Ericsson T715 slider is new, and that’s why we care about it.

Energizer has been one of the most popular brands in batteries for decades now. The company makes all sorts of gear to power products other than batteries today as well. Plus they gave us that pink drumming bunny that has haunted commercials for years.

Orange UK has announced that it will launch the HTC Hero for its subscribers from early July. It will also offer the HTC Hero in exclusive Graphite color.

Last week we told you that HTC’s Ozone would be hitting Verizon Wireless online on June 29th but we left you without a price or many details about the phone.

I guess Sprint is finally ready to offer Android devices to its subscribers. And we hear that among the handsets considered the HTC Hero and an unknown yet Samsung Android phone with 4G support.
