The latest one from LG under the Black line collection is definitely a show stealer to say the least. No surprise for guessing that this one again is aimed at the Fashionista out there. But along with the high glam quotient comes a highly irresistible feature set. Basically this one is for the user who loves to admire the looks of the phone than probably using it much. It could be called the pioneer in the world of cinematic screens. It comes loaded with a full 21:9 screen which is definitely a plus point for all the people who love to watch their movies on the move. It’s got a vibrant red metal and black look to it, which by far is my favourite combination. I mean who wouldn’t love a red and a black combination?? Anyways on the top of the chassis is a 3.5 jack for the headphone along with the lock/power key. The right side houses a wave like volume rocker along stylistic camera key. What’s  [...]

Finally the much awaited watchphone from LG has seen the light of the day. Though it was expected that this one would cost around 500 euros, this one has been launched for a lesser price than what was being assumed. Well, I am pretty excited to review this one just for the fact that it is loaded with a touchscreen, Bluetooth and yeah not to forget a camera too. What waits to be seen is whether this one is just a imposture or if it truly stands true to the claims that it is making. Anyways I guess by the end of this review the answer to this one would be crystal clear… so moving ahead... This one is quite a sleek one, considering all the features that it encapsulates this one for sure is worth all the talk. Its got a leather strap which has to be strapped around the wrist using a clamp in kind of a fit. The major drawback with this one is that the clamp keeps on getting loose again and again  [...]

The Escapade comes along with a 500-entry phonebook. Each entry can store upto 5 numbers, two email addresses an IM screen name and a street address. The other key features offered by the Escapade are multimedia messaging, speakerphone, calculator, calendar, world clock, notepad, unit converter and a stopwatch. Apart from the basic features this one also offers Bluetooth, instant messenger, a web browser and GPS for the advanced users. The GPS service is supported by services like Chaperone and VZ navigator. Coming to the cult feature of the Escapade i.e. dual mode CDMA/ GSM compatibility. When  you are in the  country you can use the Verizon wireless service, and when you are out of the country you could use the preloaded SIM card with any GSM carrier. It comes loaded with a 2 megapixel camera which lets you click pictures in four resolutions 1,600x1,200, 1,280x960, 640x480, 320x240. The images were much to my surprise pretty much vibrant and animated. The image quality was  [...]

It has space for almost 1000 phonebook entries with around 5 entries for each phonebook entry including job title,email address, birthday etc. This one offers mobile emails, and instant messaging such as Yahoo, Hotmail etc. but then again because of its small screen using the email facility doesn’t provide you with much of a pleasant experience. It also includes a few useful organization features like the  calendar, to-do-list, calculator, alarm  clock etc… in spite of the small screen this one again comes with a WAP browser. I guess this was done to just make it look more than a simple phone. But trust me, this one is just a basic phone. Coming to the multimedia features, this one offers a VGA camera along with 4 x zoom and it has added some video recording capabilities to it too. But then it shouldn’t be surprising when I say that the picture quality wasn’t that great. Infact,  I don’t I should even be talking much about it  because this is just a secondary phone to  [...]

It’s got an inbuilt memory of 64MB, however it can be expanded to upto 2GB using a micro SD card. The phonebook can be used for 1000 entries with each entry saving upto five numbers, email address, URL, company name and job title, a nickname, street name and birthday. It comes loaded with a 3.2 megapixel camera which can take pictures in six resolutions ranging from 2,048x1,536 pixels down to 160x120 pixels. I was pretty much impressed by the quality of the photos. Not only were they vibrant and bright but also they hardly displayed any noise expect for some amount of negligible noise around the edges. After you are done with taking the photos you could directly store them in the 64MB inbuilt storage or probably get yourself a new 2GB Micro SD card. Coming to the music players, this one  is definitely the show stealer with a quality similar to the one offered by the Xpress music range, it definitely should score high on any music lovers list. It supports creating your playlists  [...]

The Pharos comes along with the Spb Mobile Shell 3.0, which contains information in a more user-friendly and attractive interface. The Spb mobile has three sliding panels : the center panel and default home screen, feature the calendar, messages, time, weather, etc. while sliding the touch screen to the left, brings up an Application panel, while the right panel offers your multimedia features. At the bottom of all panels, you get a one-touch access to a favorites page, contact list, a few other settings, as well as a button that lets you scroll through more panels in a 3D round-about view. The Pharos Traveler 137 features an onscreen portrait and landscape QWERTY keyboard. The keyboard is a bit stuffed in the portrait mode, but the included stylus can be used for more precision. The traveler 137 features a built-in accelerometer or a G-sensor which automatically switches from portrait to landscape mode when you turn the phone around. But the accelerometer wasn’t up to the mark,  [...]

Hmmm...the design part surely left me flabbergasted, and I should say the performance part didn’t leave me disappointed by any means either. I tried calling using the U.S roaming service and was highly taken aback by the awesome call quality which hardly displayed any amount of static. Plus, the caller was pretty much satisfied with the quality of the calls too, with very less background sound. The LG tritan is loaded with a decent music player which supports MP3, AAC, AAC+, and WMA file formats. I would recommend using headphones for better music playback and sound quality because the speakers aren’t actually that great. The 3-megapixel camera that the Tritan is adorned with was also pretty decent. The image quality, sharpness and the colour of the images was fabulous. The video camera is also not left far behind, though I would personally prefer it to shoot short videos. The LG has surely lived upto its untarnished image when it comes  [...]

Comparing it with the T239 this one has a 1000 entry phonebook as opposed to the t239’s 300 entry phonebook. You could assign each contact with a picture and a ringtone. Apart from the normal features that a basic phone offers this one has Bluetooth added to it which provides support for wireless headsets, hands-free kits, serial port, object push, and phone book access. As I mentioned earlier this one isn’t for you if you’re looking out for web browsing, especially considering its low resolution screen. I tried connecting to the web browser using the WAP browser, but I really had to squint my eyes to make out what was actually displayed on the screen. So it’s like a really bad option if you want to use this one for web browsing. All I could have asked of this phone was a 1.3 megapixel camera but here again I hardly had any option with the drab VGA camera which was provided. The images were below my satisfactory levels plus there were hardly  [...]
