Nokia N86

Nokia N86 8MP Review

By PhoneArena Team

The Nokia N86 8MP is the first 8-megapixel camera phone of the manufacturer. Camera itself is equipped with wide-angle Carl Zeiss Tessar optics, variable aperture and double LED flash. Nokia ......

Pictures taken in artificial lighting conditions have really good quality, Pictures shared on social network websites look great, Beautiful display, Active phone stand

Hefty, Inconvenient camera shutter, Operating system interface is boring and unfriendly, GPS tends to lose signal at times for no reason in particular

As a smart phone, the Nokia N86 8MP comes out ahead in our ranking, because it is fast and trouble-free device. There is no observable lagging when you switch between menus and applications start almost instantaneously. The accelerometer is overly ...

Stylish look ; Easy to use ; Good quality through the 3.5mm earphones

Flimsy camera ; Unusable flash ; Poor in-call quality

The Sony Ericsson T700 makes for quite a pleasing cell phone in terms of overall look and design and its strengths are the compact size and stylish appearance. The interface is practical and easy to use, which is always a definite plus. Unfortunately, ...

Slim and elegant ; Really comfy buttons ; Internet friendly (Wi-Fi, HSDPA 3.6Mbit/s) ; The new home screen is both comfy and functional ; Robust battery ; N-Gage support

Both audio playback and in-call quality is mediocre ; Snapshots lack enough details and have unreal colors

Nokia N97

Nokia N97 Review

By PhoneArena Team

The Nokia N97 is the flagship device of the manufacturer at the moment and Nokia vaunts it as being not only a top of the range device, but a “mobile computer” as well. This certainly gets things ......

Large, beautiful screen with high sensitivity, GPS is fast and trouble free, Good audio quality, Reliable, high quality sliding mechanism

In-call quality is not good enough, Lack of full Office support, Limited support of video formats

With the Nokia N97, the manufacturer brings their top range N-series into the realm of smart phone fashion that is called touch sensitive screens. The phone is also being introduced as a mobile computer, although it is far from being one. Computers ...

HTC Touch Pro 2

HTC Touch Pro2 Review

By PhoneArena Team

The HTC Touch Pro2 is the elder sibling of the Touch Diamond2 sporting 3.6-inch screen and full QWERTY keyboard with the heart-warming 5 rows. It´s also a Windows Mobile 6.1 powered device ......

Awesome keyboard, Touch sensitive screen that delivers great image quality and display can be tilted, Extremely responsive and snappy, Excellent customization pack

Screen is unusable in the sun, Mediocre loudspeaker and in-call quality, You are bound to see the standard WinMo menus sooner or later, The camera quality is very poor

At a fell swoop, the HTC Touch Pro2 has managed to irreversibly crush our understanding of cell phones as they are. Well, no, not really. As a whole it is an excellent Windows Mobile device, just as we expected. Again we emphasize it´s a nicely ...

Gigabyte GSmart MS820

GIGA-BYTE GSmart MS820 Review

By PhoneArena Team

The GIGA-BYTE GSmart MS820 is a Windows Mobile-powered smartphone that we first saw at MWC 2009. The first thing you notice is how bulky and rough it looks, although size is almost ......

Great functionality, Suitable for business users

Limited personalization options, The display is way too small for such a bulky device, Bad audio clarity and in-call quality, Buttons could have been more comfy to use

In terms of hardware configuration, the GIGA-BYTE GSmart MS820 belongs to the midrange class of devices. It sports a Marvel PXA270 processor running at 520MHz. Using the device, you will eventually find out it lacks proper amount of RAM. It seems the ...
