Its got a 1000 entry phonebook and each entry can store around five numbers and two email addresses. This one has a unique feature called ‘habitat’ mode and after picking up one of the display themes ‘urban’ or ‘jungle’, your callers will be given a avatar. Click on each avatar to see a list of messages and calls between you and that contact. The basic features that this one includes are the vibrate mode, calculator, alarm clock, a notepad, a unit and currency developer, speaker-independent voice dialing, Bluetooth, PC syncing, USB mass storage, text-to-speech, and support for VZ Navigator. Its got a 3 megaixel camera which supports clicking photos in almost five resolutions.  It supports flash as well. However the photo quality is not all that great for a 3 megapixel camera. The photos are quite blurred and dull. The photos can be stored in the inbuilt 119MB or by extending the memory using the Micro SD slot. It also supports a XHTML browser,  [...]

iDen phones are known for being bulky and most of the times they are either in the clamshell form or the candy bar form factor. However with this one Motorola has attempted to change the trend and has moved towards the slider form factor. This one is being offered by Boost mobile and is available for $170 without the contract. Anyways let’s move ahead and see what this Moto child has to offer. This one sort of reminded me of the Moto Rizr , maybe its just because of the slider form factor. Anyways this one measures a decent  4.19 inches long by 2.0 inches wide by 0.59 inch thick and is pretty much sleek. At 2.99 ounces this one aint even all that clunky. Its thin enough to fit into the front or back pocket. Its got a 2.2 inch display which supports around 65,536 colors and has a 176x220 pixel resolution. This isn’t surprising because most of the slider phones don’t offer much in terms of resolution. Because of this the images appear to be a bit blocky and unattractive. Below  [...]

This one from LG is definitely an enhanced version of the KS360 and by the looks of it, this one too looks like its going to be another smash. Also this one isn’t heavy on the pocket and one can obtain it for Free with £150 auto cashback from Mobiles.co.uk (Blue); or £129 on PAYG from Orange or £146.75 from Dialaphone (Black).Anyways let’s go ahead with the review and see if this one is worth all the talk... This one is less of a smartphone and more of an QWERTY packing cookie oozing out loads of attitude. This ones got a neat elegant look with silver side trims. The keys also follow the minimalistic design.  This one isn’t all that sleek at 107x53x16mm and weighs around 125g which makes it a bit clunky. It’s got a 2.8inch resistive touchscreen without a stylus and below the screen there are three buttons. The talk and end button and a shortcut button which also doubles up as a task manager. All the buttons are covered with rubberized plastic which provide a nice grip.  [...]

This one has a 1000 entry phonebook which can store around five numbers and an email address per entry. Apart from the basic features like the vibrate mode, calculator, alarm clock, calendar and a tip calculator, this one has Bluetooth with file transfer protocol, voice dialing, USB support and a variety of other applications. This one comes with an iinternal memory of 40 MB, but can be spruced up with an external memory card. It comes loaded with a 2- megapixel camera which can be used to take pictures in almost five resolutions. The quality of the photos was pretty much impressive for a 2 megapixel camera. It didn’t display much noise and the photos were pretty much clear and vibrant. The multimedia videos removed with the help of the camcorder are capped at 30 secs. The quality of the videos is pretty much mediocre though. It’s got the standard Samsung music player which is pretty much easy to use. The toggle can be used to scroll over  [...]

Like the other phones from Samsung even this one has a 1000 entry phonebook along with other features like the vibrate mode, alarm clock, calculator, timer, speakerphone, memo list, a unit and currency converter. Keeping the basic features aside this one also offers support for Bluetooth, GPS and PC syncing. This one also includes the POP3 email support. This one also comes loaded with a 2 megapixel camera and lets the user take pictures in four resolutions ranging from 1,600x1,200 to 320x240. It also offers a few editing options. The camcorder offers a decent 176x144 resolution. The photo quality is pretty much decent and exhibits hardly any noise. The photos are also bright and quite vibrant. Once the user is done taking the pictures, the pictures can easily be transferred using the Bluetooth support or can be stored on the phone itself which offers an inbuilt memory of 80MB. However the memory is expandable so I would recommend using a separate memory card for storage.

This one for sure has got a lot of goodies along with it. For the starters, this one comes loaded with GPS to support Sprint navigation. Since Sprint navigation is an add on service, the user could always use Google maps and other Google services in case he does not want too spend on the add on feature. The missing feature in this one as I mentioned earlier is the Wi-Fi, however this is EV-DO capable. It offers data speeds of around 300Kbps -600 Kbps and can also blow up to 2.4 Mbps. This speed should be more than enough for a decent net surfing experience. The Curve offers a lot of Multimedia features in collaboration with Sprint like the Sprint TV and the Sprint Video and the Sprint music store. Also the inbuilt media player supports various formats like the MP3, WMA, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, AMR-NB, and MIDI music files, and MPEG4, WMV, and H.263 video clips. This one has an inbuilt memory of 64 Mb which can be extended upto 8Gb. The sound quality through the speakers was not that great and  [...]

This one has a 1000 phonebook entry, world clock, calculator, stop watch, vibrate mode, sketchpad, timer, notepad, alarm clock and a calculator. This one could very aptly be called a messaging phone and it offers a nice variety of messaging features like e-mail options - mobile e-mail, corporate email, and mobile Web e-mail along with visual voice mail, mobile IM with AIM, Windows Live Messenger, and Yahoo messenger support. Also this one comes loaded with the EV-DO Rev. A it supports the V Cast broadband services, like V Cast Video, and the V Cast Audio. One can easily download songs and listen to them when on the move. I was pretty much impressed with music player with an easy to use interface and nice categorizations of the tracks according to the artists, albms, genres etc. However I would recommend using headphones than blasting the music on the speakers because the speakers are not that great. Downloading web pages using the EV-DO Rev was also an easy task and it hardly ttook me  [...]

The thing that HTC is bragging about with the launch of this one is the Sense UI, and it has enough reason to do so I feel, because its just brilliant. This one is like the fourth android phone from HTC and starting from three home screens, with this one it has moved up to seven home screens including the main home screen which can be accessed from anywhere by just hitting on the home button and with three to the left and the right of the screen respectively. HTC has also taken the TouchFlo3D interface and based its new Sense UI into it. This means that not only does thee user get different home screens there also a slider bar below a few applications to scroll through the pages. This one comes with a 528mhz processor, which isn’t exactly fit for the kind of multitasking that the HTC hero is expected too provide the user with. I also noticed some lag at different intervals and I guess this has to do with the underpowered processor. I just hope that HTC looks into this soon. Switching  [...]

This one offers dual-mode functionality which means GSM and CDMA together. When using within the country it works on the CDMA network aand while on roaming it works on the GSM network. While on roaming Sprint offers voice coverage in 180 countries and Data coverage in 150 countries. The other functionality that the Sprint mobile offers are HTC's Straight Talk Technology, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional Edition. Navigation through the Windows has been made more easier with the TouchFlo 3D interface. There are also a few other tabs that Sprint has added too make navigation easy. In my opinion the TouchFlo 3D interface is what has to be looked forward to. Its got a 3.2 megapixel camera which has five resolution modes along with four quality settings. The only glitch here is that it doesn’t offer flash, though to make up for it there are several brightness control settings. The video mode supports video capturing in any of the four formats i.e. H.263, 3GPP2,  [...]

Though Samsung has compromised on quite a few features with this one it has retained the TouchWiz UI like in the others from the Tocco family and the Jet. The interface can easily be managed by swiping the finger over the screen. This one being more of a resistive display, doesnot have the smart multi-touch feature. The 3 buttons on the standby screen are for stimulating the numberpad, the contact book and the main menu. The numbers on the numberpad have been comfortably placed to avoid any mispresses and it well quite succeeds in achieving this. The phonebook can be used to find a number in three ways. Either swiping down through the whole list or directly typing the name on the search bar. The other option that it offers is searching through sections letter by letter. It also has an option of photo contacts, using which all your recent contacts photos will pop up on the screen in a grid like fashion and all you have to do is click on the photo to make a call. Coming to messaging…  [...]
