			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://pakbee.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/3g-in-pakistan.jpg"><img src="http://pakbee.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/3g-in-pakistan.jpg" alt="" title="3g-in-pakistan" width="300" height="225" class="alignright size-full wp-image-2366" /></a></p>
<p>After piles of delays and then affirmations, Pakistan Telecommunication Authority has finally received the directive from Ministry of Information Technology (MOIT) to make preparation for auction of third generation cellular licenses, said a statement issued by PTA itself.</p>
<p>Statement said that PTA is now planning to Auction Frequency Spectrum for Cellular Mobile Broadband Services and license will be technology neutral and the licensees be able to deploy any technology including 3G / 4G / LTE / any other upcoming technologies.</p>
<p>The information Memorandum (IM) for auctioning process is being prepared by PTA. The auction will be held tentatively in March 2012 for which exact schedule will be issued later.</p>
<p>The auction process will be overseen by a joint professional group (Auction Supervisory Committee) comprising of public sector stakeholders, including representatives of Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Information Technology, PTA and FAB etc.</p>
<p>PTA has constituted a special committee for making preparations to conduct the auction in the most possible transparent manner.</p>
<p>For the awareness and information of potential investors, PTA is also planning to hold Investors Conferences in Karachi and Islamabad. International Road Shows will also be organized. The exact schedule for this auction would be made available soon, said PTA.</p>
<p>It is pertinent to mention that the introduction of Cellular Mobile Broadband services in the country will initiate a new economic cycle in the country and accrue great benefits for the national economy. It will also usher in new era for proliferation of a number of new applications for data intensive value added services. This will greatly fulfill the requirement and demands of Cellular Mobile Phone subscribers and professionals who are eagerly waiting for this service.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><em><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Never Ever Give Away Your Pictures / Videos <span style="color: #008000;">[Especially if You are a Girl]</span></strong></span></em></p>
<p><a href="http://pakbee.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Never-Ever-Give-Away-Your-Pictures.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2351" title="Never Ever Give Away Your Pictures" src="http://pakbee.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Never-Ever-Give-Away-Your-Pictures.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="245" /></a></p>
<p>Most of us already know the seriousness of a situation when our private pictures or videos land in fraudulent hands. Still, we make mistakes – and are often embarked with this condition when suicide becomes the last option to save ourselves.</p>
<p>Night packages (the root cause of above mentioned problem) have bought our nation on the verge of social destruction. Every other mobile phone subscriber has a list of friends (of opposite gender) with whom they spend nights, every night in fact. Soon it becomes a habit and then a mental dis-order, depression, irritation, increases annoyance and what not.</p>
<p>Let’s forget the mental and physical health for time being and talk about even greater problem.</p>
<p>Lately, thanks to significant increase of Camera Phones, and almost zero MMS charges (with SMS/MMS Packages), the number of such incidents have increased where pictures and videos (at times with objectionable orientation) are shared with partners over internet and MMS.</p>
<p>Based on few incidents I recently came across, here are few recommendations:</p>
<p><strong>Now Remember Following</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Never send your pictures to ANYONE, WHO EVER he/she is – no matter what relation he/she has got with you, or whatever level of trust you guys have between each other. (This doesn’t apply to your family members).</li>
<li>Never keep your private pictures in your phone – save them in your PC/laptop and delete from mobile phones. Your phone can easily get stolen/lost.</li>
<li>Make sure that privacy settings of your Facebook aren’t revealing the information you would not like to reveal otherwise. (Go to Facebook –&gt; My account –&gt; Privacy Settings –&gt; customize setting)</li>
<li>Make sure you don’t have casual acquaintances mixed up with your family members or close friends on Facebook. Make proper lists with different level of privacy settings for each list.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>NEVER EVER shot objectionable pictures/videos</strong> – because they will remain in your phone even after deleting them.<br />
Never Trust Phone Friends: This is for those who make friends over phone and talk to them indefinitely. Never trust them. There are organized groups targeting both girls and boys to attain intimate information/pictures/videos to later blackmail them.</p>
<p><strong>Deleted Pictures/Videos are Recoverable</strong>: If you think you have deleted a photo/video and you safe, then unfortunately its not the case. A deleted video/photo or any data is recoverable. So never shot videos / pictures at first place which you may not want to keep without self for ever. View this unfortunate <a href="https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=370747549847" target="_blank">video</a> example for more details on this.</p>
<p><strong>Fear Voice Recorders too</strong>: So if you are good with not giving photos, videos, you are still prone to voice recorders. Please make sure that you are using your mobile phone without any risk and with utmost care.</p>
<p><strong>What to Do if pictures/videos are exposed?</strong> God forbid, if your pictures/videos are somehow in someone’s hands who is blackmailing you (for money or at times with some other demands) then do following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Tell everything to your parents, they are going to be your best buddies in this bad time.</li>
<li>Lodge FIR at your nearest police station</li>
<li>Though Police station, lodge a <a href="http://www.nr3c.gov.pk/complaints.php" target="_blank">complaint with FIA</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Disclaimer: I highly recommend you to talk to your parents, however, approaching Police and FIA should be considered based on your circumstances. (Considering our police’s performance) I fear,that approaching police (if you don’t have high-level contacts) may ruin your life.</p>
<p>We need to be extra careful, especially, when there is no cyber law in our country.</p>
<p>At the end, I would say: Bad deeds meet bad consequences, so be sincere to your self, your parents and to your life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>KARACHI: After rumours of the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) imposing a ban on porn sites in the country, a new PTA letter floating online orders the imposition of a “system” to ban select words in mobile SMS messages.</p>
<p><a href="http://pakbee.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/PTA-Spamming-English-Urdu-Words-in-SMS.jpg"><img src="http://pakbee.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/PTA-Spamming-English-Urdu-Words-in-SMS-560x420.jpg" alt="" title="PTA-Spamming-English-Urdu-Words-in-SMS" width="560" height="420" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2345" /></a></p>
<p>A set of two extensive lists in English and Urdu have allegedly been compiled by the PTA. The list of English words crosses the 1,000 figure, while the Urdu list contains over 550 words.</p>
<p>A scan of the letter (dated November 14, 2011) sent from Muhammad Talib Doger, Director General (Services) PTA, states that the filtering of content through SMS must be considered under the scope of “Protection from Spam, Unsolicited, Fraudulent and Obnoxious Communication Regulations, 2009″ and the SOPs laid down to control spamming. The letter is written with reference to a meeting held with mobile phone operators on October 18, 2011 in Islamabad.</p>
<p>PTA has ordered the implementation of the system within seven days of the issuance of the said letter. All operators have been asked to submit a monthly report to PTA regarding the number of blocked text messages.</p>
<p>“Spamming” has been defined as:</p>
<blockquote><p>The transmission of harmful, fraudulent, misleading, illegal or unsolicited messages in bulk to any person without express permission of the recipient, or causing any electronic system to show any such message or is being involved in falsified online user account registration or falsified domain name registration for commercial purpose.</p></blockquote>

<p>This news is not being covered by any other media outlet so far (which is strange and hence isn’t that convincing) plus we don’t have any official confirmation from ministry of information technology or from PTA as of now.</p>
<p>According to Pakistan Today, during hearing a petition requesting a permanent ban on Facebook for hosting competition featuring blasphemous caricatures, Lahore High Court ordered the government to make sure that Facebook is blocked in Pakistan and to submit a compliance report by October 6, 2011.</p>
<p>The judge, however, made it clear that no search engine including Google would be blocked, reported the paper.</p>
<p>It maybe recalled that Facebook got banned in Pakistan last year for hosting Draw Mohammad Day and for not removing blasphemous pages from it’s server.</p>
<p>This fresh petition in Lahore High Court is filed by Muhammad &#038; Ahmad, a public interest litigation firm, through chairman Muhammad Azhar Siddique advocate praying for a permanent ban on access to Facebook for hosting a fresh blasphemous caricature drawing contest world over under a title “2nd Annual Draw Muhammad Day on May 20, 2011″.</p>
<p>Facebook is a social network and users from around the world are free to post anything, however, it content is moderated based on Facebook terms which state:</p>
<blockquote><p>You will not post content that: is hateful, threatening, or pornographic; incites violence; or contains nudity or graphic or gratuitous violence.</p></blockquote>
<p>Facebook became controversial and was condemned for not removing Draw Mohammad Day page from it’s server despite it was reported (as abuse) by hundreds of thousands of Muslim users. While on other hands Facebook tends to remove any anti-Jews or Anti-Israel page in only few minutes.</p>
<p>Update:</p>
<p>We just got confirmation from PTA officials that they have not received any such order, at least as of now, for Facebook blockade.</p>
<p>This is a developing story and may get updated when and if we get any further information on this</p>

<p>Silicon Valley legend Steve Jobs, who has been on medical leave for an undisclosed condition since Jan. 17, resigned as chief executive of Apple Wednesday, saying he could &#8220;no longer meet my duties and expectations.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Interim CEO Tim immediately elevated to CEO, while Steve, 55, will stay on as chairman of the board.</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple&#8217;s CEO, I would be the first to let you know,&#8221; Jobs said in a letter to &#8220;the Apple community&#8221; that was released by the company. &#8220;Unfortunately, that day has come.&#8221;</p>
<p>While the move was stunning, it was not entirely unexpected.</p>
<p>Steve Jobs had been seen only rarely this year, including at a San Francisco event in March where he unveiled Apple&#8217;s iPad 2, the hugely successful follow-on to its hugely successful tablet computer.</p>
<p>&#8220;His health clearly wasn’t’ improving and there was going to come a time when he was going to have to set aside,” said Rob Enderle, longtime technology analyst with Enderle Group</p>

<p>Streak. It needs no introduction, as this slate&#8217;s been gaining a lot  of attention amongst gadget lovers around the world. Thanks to the UK launch last  Friday, we were one of the first on this planet to procure Dell&#8217;s  finalized Android 1.6 phone from O2. Yep, you heard right &#8212; Engadget&#8217;s  now in possession of two Streaks, with the older one still  in its original and somewhat unstable prototype state. Our new toy  sports a matte &#8220;carbon&#8221; finish instead of chrome (no word on future  availability; the red version&#8217;s coming in two weeks&#8217; time), and now  399MB of RAM instead of 405MB (according to Android System Info app;  it&#8217;s actually a 512MB chip). Anyhow, now that we have the real deal,  there&#8217;s plenty to go through, so join us after the break to see if the  Streak&#8217;s really going to start a new trend.</p>

<h6>Hardware</h6>
<p>Following the conventionally sized Mini 3 / <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/dell%2Caero">Aero</a>,  Dell decided to plunge into an untouched territory with its second-ever  smartphone. The result is an unusual form factor &#8212; a 10mm-thick slab  with a five-inch 800 x 480 LCD (much like the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/archos+5%2Candroid">Archos 5</a> PMP but with capacitive touch overlay), and it&#8217;s one damn good screen that&#8217;s usable under the sun, too. Of course, we&#8217;ve <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/">seen it all</a> back  in February, but our enthusiasm has not dwindled in the slightest &#8212;  the final Streak still has the same sexy figure, is still as rigid, and  is still as pocketable in our regular-fit jeans. No, really &#8212; there&#8217;s  been a lot of debate on whether people would actually put the Streak in  their pockets, but like we said before, as long as you&#8217;re not into  hippie-tight pants, the slate should happily fit in like a regular  phone. The only time that you might struggle is when you&#8217;re walking up  stairs, but a quick push to the outer side of the pocket should do the  trick. More on that in the video below.</p>
<p>Our  four-month ownership of the prototype has proven that the Streak&#8217;s quite  the attention seeker, even before we revealed to the intrigued  passers-by that it&#8217;s also a phone. We even gave the screen&#8217;s Gorilla  Glass some <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/dell-streaks-gorilla-glass-screen-torture-tested-for-your-amus/">real beating</a>,  although such toughness doesn&#8217;t seem to extend to the plastic parts on  the two sides of the phone &#8212; we&#8217;re already seeing some fine scratches  there. But of course, the more important question is: is this form  factor practical at all? Well, let&#8217;s start with the grip &#8212; the rounded  edges on the two shorter sides allow us to hold it comfortably like a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/psp">PSP</a>.  We can even hold the 220g (7.76 ounces) device single-handedly that way  with little effort, but we tend to hold on the left to avoid  accidentally touching the capacitive buttons on the other side. As for  holding in portrait position (when making a phone call, for instance),  the flat edges mean our finger tips can securely grip onto the phone. We  don&#8217;t have a preference for either posture, as it really depends on  what you&#8217;re doing &#8212; obviously video playback is best in landscape,  whereas web browsing can work both ways depending on the text layout,  and e-book reading is ideal in portrait mode due to shorter lines. If  you&#8217;re all for making phone calls in a more discrete manner, you can  always opt for the handsfree kit or a Bluetooth headset (2.0 with EDR)  instead.</p>
<div><img id="vimage_3045644" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/06/dellstreakacc06042010.jpg" border="1" alt="" hspace="4" vspace="4" /></div>
<div>Apart from the  three capacitive buttons (back, menu, and home) and a mic on the right,  you&#8217;ll find four physical buttons along the top ridge &#8212; volume rocker,  power, and camera (two-stage button i.e. press half-way to focus). The  3.5mm headphone jack is right next to the volume keys, which can be a  nuisance if your headphones rock a straight plug. Luckily, the bundled  handsfree kit &#8212; with an L-shape plug &#8212; has pretty impressive clarity  and moderate bass, plus you get three sets of rubber buds to suit your  ears. Other accessories include a USB mains adapter (with UK and EU  plugs; the US will obviously get something else), USB cable (with clip),  and a microfiber pouch (which doubles as a wiping cloth).  Disappointingly, the gorgeous <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/04/dell-streak-hdmi-dock-gets-the-hands-on-treatment-kickstand-equ/">HDMI dock</a> &#8212;  due to arrive in the UK over the next two weeks &#8212; is not included, and  Dell&#8217;s still mum on pricing. Well, at least for now we can tease the  company for the artwork blunder on the box &#8212; the illustrator somehow  assumed the screen does edge to edge. Ah, if only.</div>
<div><img id="vimage_3047143" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/06/dellstreakdialer06042010.jpg" border="1" alt="" hspace="4" vspace="4" /></div>
<p>Going back to the phone: there&#8217;s a front-facing VGA camera between the  earpiece and proximity sensor (for disabling the screen while making a  call), ready for video chat apps such as Fring and Qik &#8212; neither of  which were able to use the Streak&#8217;s secondary camera just yet. On the  back of the phone you&#8217;ll see a five megapixel autofocus camera with its  dual LED flash (more on the picture quality later), a mono speaker that  produces loud sound with less distortion than most other phones, and a  sliding battery door (which is now tightened by two little paddings not  seen on our prototype). Now, be warned: if you remove the door while  your phone&#8217;s running, failing to replace it within a few seconds would  turn it off. We were told that this is actually a data-loss prevention  mechanism, so we&#8217;ll assume the phone will actually quit all the  processes before killing the power.</p>
<div><img id="vimage_3048527" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/06/dellstreakbattery06042010.jpg" border="1" alt="" hspace="4" vspace="4" /></div>
<p>Anyway, the chamber underneath the cover houses the SIM card, microSD  card (ours came with SanDisk&#8217;s Class 2 16GB silicon), and a 1530mAh  battery. To grill the battery, we had the Streak connected to <em>3G (HSDPA) only</em>, continuously played music, had background sync enabled (including the Facebook widget, RSS widget, and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/06/twitter-for-android-the-best-apps-reviewed/">Twicca</a>),  occasionally browsed the web on it, and took a few photos and videos.  Guess what? Surprisingly &#8212; especially given the screen size &#8212; we  managed to get almost <strong>ten hours</strong> per  charge! On a more realistic usage like less music playback and more  reliance on WiFi 802.11b/g, we even squeezed out at least 12 hours of  sweet battery juice. This certainly makes the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/01/htc-desire-review/">HTC Desire</a> look feeble with its mere six-hour gig from a similar usage.</p>
<p>The  Streak&#8217;s battery life may well be impressive, but what about its  performance as a phone? Pretty good, we&#8217;d say &#8212; last night we made a  25-minute call with the Streak held against our face the whole time, and  our hand and arm were still alive after that. We also did our usual  noise test and the Streak managed to suppress a fair amount of  background noise, as you can see in the video above. That said, we do  have some minor complaints about the dialer, but we&#8217;ll talk about that  later.</p>
<h6>Software</h6>
<div><img id="vimage_3047749" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/06/dellstreakmenu06042010.jpg" border="1" alt="" hspace="4" vspace="4" /></div>
<div>
<p>Well, here&#8217;s  the meat. Like we said earlier, this final firmware performs much  smoother and is more stable than what we have on our prototype. Dell&#8217;s  also put on its own skin over the Android 1.6 OS &#8212; homescreen icons are  put in shaded boxes, the menu drops down from the top and can shrink to  a favorites bar, and on the top bar you get a homescreen-switching  button, notifications area, plus a status area, all of which can be  triggered by just a tap instead of a drag action. Unlike most other  Android phones, to remove a homescreen icon on the Streak you have to  hold down on it until it goes red, and then press the menu button for  the remove option (and some widgets, such as the RSS reader, will also  show a &#8220;Widget options&#8221; button). This makes sense, as dragging an icon  across a five-inch screen isn&#8217;t really ideal.</p>
<p>As  for the phone dialer, we&#8217;re slightly disappointed that Dell&#8217;s still  using the same dull skin as seen on our prototype &#8212; we have no issues  with the dialpad layout, but the overall style just looks unfinished,  plus we&#8217;d prefer to see the call log displaying pictures alongside  contact numbers. Also, we&#8217;re shocked that the Streak doesn&#8217;t support  smart-dialing, but then again we&#8217;ve only seen HTC offering this feature  on its Android phones. Of course, provided that you&#8217;re in a quiet  environment, you can always just use voice search to get to a contact,  and you get two options for this: the default voice search app, or the  Nuance Voice Control app that can be launched by just holding down your  handsfree kit&#8217;s button. The latter can even take dictated numbers,  although it never worked for us, and we suspect our British accent is to  be blamed.</p>
</div>
<div>
<div><img id="vimage_3046939" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/06/dellstreaknav06042010.jpg" border="1" alt="" hspace="4" vspace="4" /></div>
</div>
<p>Another preloaded app is QuickOffice, which not only can view Microsoft  Office documents (.doc, .docx, .xls, xlsx, .ppt, and .pptx), but also  makes a great file browser and can open other file types using their  associated apps. Just too bad that it can&#8217;t edit Word and Excel files,  plus the text on some of the PowerPoint slides didn&#8217;t render well, but  the app&#8217;s there if you need it. Corporate users may also be interested  in the 30-day demo of TouchDown suite, which grabs your email, contacts,  calendar and tasks via Exchange ActiveSync.</p>
<p>Moving  on to the built-in apps, let&#8217;s start with the browser: as expected on a  1GHz Snapdragon device, rendering and pinch-zooming are pretty quick  and smooth, but we find it strange that we can&#8217;t tap to zoom. Also, the  text doesn&#8217;t reflow to the width of the screen, but given the screen  size, most of the time we&#8217;re happy with the original text layout. Next  we have Google Maps: well, there&#8217;s not much to say except that you get  so much more real estate than you can on other phones, and we have  several pictures to prove it &#8212; just perfect for car navigation.  Annoyingly, pinch-to-zoom is still disabled in Maps thanks to the 1.6  OS, but we&#8217;ll live through it for now.</p>
<div><img id="vimage_3047908" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/06/dellstreakgallery06042010.jpg" border="1" alt="" hspace="4" vspace="4" /></div>
<p>So here&#8217;s the &#8220;Photos &amp; Videos&#8221; app, which is actually ArcSoft  Mobile Media Gallery. As you can see above, Dell and ArcSoft have gone  for the timeline approach, and have put up 18 sensibly-sized thumbnails  at a time. The overall performance is pretty smooth too, but  understandably the further down the timeline you go, the more likely  you&#8217;ll experience some lag while older thumbnails are being loaded. This  implementation is great for viewing media captured using the Streak&#8217;s  camera, but to browse media files that you added manually, you&#8217;d best be  using QuickOffice to find them. Also, we&#8217;d like to see Flickr and  Picasa integration here, as implemented by the Desire and Nexus One  respectively.</p>
<p>Speaking of media, the Streak&#8217;s supposed to  support H.263/H.264, 3GP, MPEG4, and WMV videos. Like our prototype,  this final Streak played our MP4V-encoded 480p and 720p clips (up to  7.4Mbps bit rate) without a hitch, although for some reason it wouldn&#8217;t  open full-length films that were encoded the same way, even at 3Mbps and  lower. More disappointingly, we had no luck with any of our H.264 clips  despite the bit rate limited to 3.2Mbps, so we do wonder if this  codec&#8217;s supported at all &#8212; maybe <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/archos+5%2Candroid">Archos</a>can  lend Dell a hand? On a brighter note, our WMV clips &#8212; both VGA and  720p &#8212; came out as good as the MP4V videos. Last but not least, YouTube  videos looks great on the five-inch screen, but we&#8217;ve noticed a bug: if  you have music playing in the background, the YouTube app simply plays  video over the music rather than pausing it (like the Nexus One and  Desire do). We&#8217;re certain that Dell&#8217;s team of talents can easily fix  this (and we certainly hope that they&#8217;re reading this).</p>
<div><img id="vimage_3048444" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/06/dellstreakmusic06042010-1275853494.jpg" border="1" alt="" hspace="4" vspace="4" /></div>
<p>We won&#8217;t go too deep into the music player as it&#8217;s pretty much identical to what <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/">we&#8217;ve seen</a> before,  but we&#8217;ve found a couple of new features. Firstly, the app will  actually automatically grab mugshots of the artists, so we were a bit  surprised to see Lady Gaga flashing her legs on the Artists page.  Secondly, we discovered that you can skip a track by clicking the  handsfree button twice, but here&#8217;s a caveat: we often found ourselves  clicking too fast for the Streak to respond properly, whereas the iPhone  wouldn&#8217;t have a problem with the same click rate. Also, for some  reason, you need to have the screen turned on &#8212; regardless of phone  lock state &#8212; for the music player to respond to clicks. Very bizarre,  but probably very easy to fix.</p>
<div><img id="vimage_3048551" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/06/dellstreakkeyboard06042010.jpg" border="1" alt="" hspace="4" vspace="4" /></div>
<p>Before we wrap up our multimedia rant, we&#8217;d like to talk about the lack  of FM radio &#8212; don&#8217;t know about you folks in the US, but us Brits still  fancy the occasional live audio shows while commuting, especially in  3G-congested areas. We&#8217;re not sure if the hardware&#8217;s there, but if it  is, a small statue will be made in honor of whoever can hack it. So,  it&#8217;s time to whine about other things. First of all, the keyboard: it&#8217;s  not everyday that you see a numeric keypad on a phone&#8217;s virtual  keyboard, and there&#8217;s a good reason for that &#8212; it ruins the phone&#8217;s  ergonomic symmetry as our right thumb has to stretch over the numpad  while typing. We were hoping that maybe Dell would put in a numpad-free  keyboard as an option in Settings, but as far as we can see, we&#8217;ve got  nothing. Nevertheless, both keyboards are still pretty responsive.  Second thing: while the Calendar app may look delicious on the five-inch  screen, we were surprised that the entries in week view mode bear no  text description, whereas the 3.7-inch Nexus One (with <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/froyo">Froyo</a>)  manages to pack in those details. Finally, we&#8217;re puzzled by the missing  contacts pictures &#8212; we were expecting the Streak to pull photos off  Facebook, and the box has definitely been ticked for this in Settings.  Hopefully our friends in the States won&#8217;t be suffering from these bugs <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/dell-streak-500-unlocked-in-us-available-next-month/">next month</a>.</p>

<p>Looking back at our old sample pictures, it looks like Dell&#8217;s dialed up  the sharpening settings on the five-megapixel autofocus camera. As you  can see in the gallery below (with picture quality set to &#8220;Fine&#8221;), the  outdoor shots are pretty good except for the slight over-saturation in  general, but nightshots are just hopeless. As for the camcorder, not  much has changed for the 640 x 480 clips &#8212; picture quality&#8217;s acceptable  despite the same saturation and nightshot flaws, plus the lack of 720p  option puts the Streak slightly behind the game. That said, unlike the  latest HTC phones, the Streak&#8217;s camcorder doesn&#8217;t suffer from reduced  frame rate when filming in a dark environment &#8212; see for yourself after  the gallery.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We’ve had concepts drawn, blurry images taken from afar, images which  have been photo-shopped beyond recognition, some sketches and even the  odd photo claiming to be exactly what the iPhone 5 will look like. The  chances of any of these “leaked” photos being the real deal are probably  next to none, but some of them do look pretty cool. What’s more, some  of them could be what you want the next gen iPhone 5 to look like.</p>
<p>So without further ado, here is the best selection of iPhone 5  images.Be sure to let us know which are your favorite in the comments  below.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="iPhone 5" src="http://nextiphonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/iPhone-5_new_mock_timn-600x796.jpg" alt="" width="360" height="478" /><strong>1.</strong>This  one is the most popular to-date. Some people hate it, some love it. I  think that really wide screen isn’t to everyone’s liking. It’s meant to  represent the larger 3.7-inch screen edge to edge Apple could be adding  to the iPhone 5. See more about it here</p>
<div id="attachment_1720"><img class="aligncenter" title="031208-iPhone5_500" src="http://nextiphonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/031208-iPhone5_500.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" />iPhone 5 Mockup</p>
</div>
<p><strong>2.</strong>This is one of the mock ups that was drawn when the rumor of an aluminium backing cropped up</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Iphone-5" src="http://nextiphonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Iphone-5-600x497.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="398" /></p>
<p><strong>3.</strong>This concept shows how Apple could in fact fit a larger 4-inch screen to the existing iPhone 4 model and not affect the size of it. This would be achieved by having an edge to edge screen.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="182825-iphone4g-mock_500" src="http://nextiphonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/182825-iphone4g-mock_500.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="399" /><strong>4.</strong>Now  this isn’t a new image, it’s been around for a while if I’m honest. I  believe it was one of the wishful concepts for the iPhone 4. But maybe  the iPhone 5 might end up looking something like it? I’m not sure about  the huge home button though..</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="182827-APLn97_500" src="http://nextiphonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/182827-APLn97_500.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></p>
<p><strong>5.</strong>Remember all those rumors of  a mini iPhone 5 that we had for a while? Well this blurry looking, oddly cropped image  claimed to show an actual iPhone 5 mini prototype. To be honest I don’t  believe it will ever come to light, but it does look pretty cool.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://nextiphonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/182826-edgetoedge_500.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="279" /></p>
<p><strong>6.</strong>This one is a straight up comparison of the  different size screens. Again we see that the iPhone 5 can sport a  4-inch screen but not actually be any larger than the iPhone 4. Also the  iPhone 5 mini is looking well with its 3.5-inch screen (the same as the  iPhone 4) but with a smaller form factor.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="iphone concept" src="http://nextiphonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/omfgcouldthisbetheiphone5g-683-8941-bypass-facebook-fan-pages.jpg" alt="" width="339" height="367" /><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>7.</strong>Now  this one is probably a little optimistic, but it does look cool.  Something to do with holograms?? Maybe a 3D display? I don’t know what  to make of it, but it looks pretty cool. Not sure how practical it will  be… not that it will ever happen</p>
<p>So that’s a round up of the iPhone 5 “leaked images” , “concepts” and  wishful “prototypes” Which one is your favorite? Let us know in the  comments</p>
<p><em>Actually there’s one more, my personal favourite – It is actually originally from the iPhone 4g rumors but I think we could do the same with the iPhone 5… enjoy</em></p>
