New pictures of BlackBerry Touch Monza leak

The GSM version of the BlackBerry Touch Monaco - Monza has escaped in the wild once again. This time it broke loose in Greece and we have a few tasty live pictures for you. Unfortunately there are no new details revealed.

Well, the Monza fella has managed to escape RIM once again and it has gone on a vacation in Greece.

BlackBerry 9860 Touch Monza is the GSM version of the identical CDMA smartphone 9850 Touch Monaco. We already met those two several times this year and there is probably no detail that hasn't been revealed.

Anyway, the BlackBerry OS 7-based Monza is once again in the news smiling from sunny Greece. Here are the pictures:

The Monza/Monaco duo is supposed to pack a 1.2GHz processor, a 3.7-inch WVGA display, a 5 megapixel camera with 720p video recording and lots of connectivity goodies. As we mentioned above, both should run on the latest BlackBerry OS 7.

According to the roadmap leaked in January, the phones should become available in Q3 this year. We guess the announcement should happen a few days prior to the launch.

Panasonic launches Lumix Phone P-05C with optical stabilization

A new cameraphone legend is born as today Panasonic launches its Lumix Phone P-05C. The 13 megapixel handset is the world's first to feature optical image stabilization, proudly carrying the MEGA O.I.S. branding right next to its lens.

The 27mm wide angle lens of the Lumix Phone P-05C is also as wide as it gets on a mobile phone, allowing you to fit more in the frame. Video enthusiasts will also appreciate the 1080p video recording that the latest Panasonic feature phone offers.

Other photography features that the Lumix Phone P-05 borrows from its Panasonic digicam cousins include the iAuto mode for automatic scene recognition with 11 presets and burst mode, which captures 8 consecutive frames and lets you choose one of them.

The Lumix Phone P-05C is built around a 3.3" LCD screen of unconfirmed resolution (though knowing Japan phones FWVGA seems like a safe bet).

Available in white, black and magenta colors, the Lumix Phone P-05C is hitting the Japanese NTT DoCoMo network today. There's no saying if Panasonic plans on bringing an European or American version, though.
