The countdown has begun among mobile operators have introduced special cells to handle peak traffic waited all night at the transition to the new year. Last year, more than one billion SMS were sent to all operators in France, and this record should be beaten again tonight, on the order of 20%.

Indeed, despite the competition of services and applications such as Facebook, Twitter, BBM, WhatsApp, Viber or Twitter, SMS still have the side with the French who send nearly $ 15 billion each month. Moreover, 60% of French have good texting for the new year!

To overcome any bugs that may arise against this flood of SMS, operators have expected, according to France 2, delaying delivery times SMS to avoid network saturation. Thus, the SMS could be sent in 10 minutes instead of a few seconds usually.

A wise choice, especially since this year it will also depend on a newcomer: Free Mobile, which will prove its worth. In case of malfunction, the debates may be heated!

  A stolen picture alongside shows what should be the top three smartphones running RIM BlackBerry 10, namely Z10, X10 and N10.
If you are interested in a little BlackBerry news, you probably already know that it will have to wait until January 30th for the manufacturer unveiled with great fanfare the operating system BlackBerry 10 (BB10) and smartphones will be available for launch.

However, rumors being what they are nowadays, many photos and even videos of the Z10 have already filtered. For the record, it is a full touch smartphone in BB10. In contrast, other mobile OS that will run on managed to do a little more discreet. Until now at least. Unveiled by Mobile Syrup, the picture you will find at the end of the article shows indeed X10 and N10, two smartphones featuring both a touchscreen and a physical keyboard.

We note at the outset that the control pad usually placed under the screens of previous BlackBerry keyboard has simply disappeared.

For the rest, if the N10 (the model right) wears a pretty obvious family resemblance with the Bold 9900, the X10 (left) differs from that usually RIM offers.

ZTE seems finally decided to go poaching on the lands of Samsung, HTC, LG or Sony regarding the high-end smartphones. It is demonstrated by the Nubia Z5 that the manufacturer has to formalize.

ZTE has finally formalize its next smartphone launch before the start of CES, which will open in about ten days. This is the ZTE Nubia Z5. And the least we can say is that the Chinese manufacturer has worked hard to provide an Android technical tempting to Judge for yourself:

• An IPS LCD 5 inches with a resolution of Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels)
• A quad-core chipset Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro 1.5GHz

Samsung GT-i9500 Galaxy S4 or high-end smartphone Tizen?

Site generally knowledgeable about Samsung says that the next high-end smartphone from the Korean manufacturer will the codename GT-i9500. However, not whether it will involve an Android device, the Galaxy potentially S4, or the first smartphone Tizen OS.

In just two years, the site SamMobile has built a solid reputation for rumors and leaks about Samsung. Also, when the site publishes information about the code name for the next top model of the Korean manufacturer, we consider with some interest.
Especially since this is not the first time that the code name in question, GT-i9500, is talked about. We already know that this is the same name as the manufacturer uses for its prototype smartphone OS Tizen for developers. This could mean that with this mobile operating system will finally emerge from Samsung. But this is not guaranteed since the prototype in question is not a model officially announced. In all cases, the manufacturer would have begun to test two variants of this model: GT-I9505 GT-i9500 and. Always according to the same source, the only difference between the two would be adding capacity 4G/LTE on the second model city.
If the codename GT-i9500 seems "trainer" for too long in the landscape rumors for not having any basis, we do not think it will be carried by the first smartphone Tizen OS. This type of name was in fact far been reserved for high-end Android smartphones Korean. The first of this line was in fact the Galaxy S GT-I9000. Then followed the GT-I9100 (Galaxy S2) GT-I9250 (Galaxy Nexus) and GT-I9300 (Galaxy S3). The Ativ S, which is, however, a Windows Phone with premium features, was flanked by the code name "I8750". One might say that it is not very logical that Samsung jumps box "GT-I9400". Except SamMobile rightly pointed out that none of the top models of the manufacturer has never displayed the number four in its serial number. The reason? This figure is considered to bring bad luck in South Korea ...

iPhone 5: Apple has the luxury to validate 4G/LTE networks operators!

A spokesman for the Swiss operator Swisscom reveals Apple tests 4G/LTE networks of partners before authorizing or not the activation of 4G connectivity on the iPhone 5.Since the dawn of time (and even before), the operators modus operandi is immutable reference when it comes to mobile in their catalog. In summary, they test and re-test devices, in particular to be very sure of their compatibility with cellular networks. Clearly, operators almost of life or death over the career of a mobile, especially in markets such as France, which are heavily subsidized.
Clearly, if a mobile phone is not listed in the offer of an operator, and therefore available in a pack at the subsidized operator said its sales did not take off in France. This relentless mechanical still suffers from a grain of sand. A huge grain of sand is the same as the iPhone. From the first day, Apple dictates its law to its partners and to comply with their little way to go. Few operators in the world to refuse to allow the conditions of Apple. But most will bend bad graces as it is important for them to have the iPhone in their catalog.

But the news of the day revealed by TechCrunch shows that the requirements of Cupertino seem to go further than we thought. According to the site, Apple is going to test 4G networks of its carrier partners. Yes, you read correctly, it is the manufacturer that evaluates LTE networks are good enough to hold its iPhone 5. It is not there a rumor, but an information initially provided by a spokesman for the Swiss operator Swisscom. He confirmed that Apple activated features a 4G iPhone 5 that he was satisfied with the tests conducted. Despite the fact that it has a brand new 4G/LTE network, Swisscom is suddenly unable to sell the smartphone as a device compatible with this technology upon its release since Apple had not finished testing mentioned above. Obviously, Apple does so to ensure that your smartphone and therefore consumers the best possible experience. But in doing so, he gets back to the operators. The Cupertino company is in a strong position now and can afford many things. But we expect that if the wind changes, operators will not do him any gift.
