In an attempt to meet the expectations of more smartphone users, the Taiwanese company HTC decided to improve its HTC Touch Diamond Windows Mobile device, by endowing it with a generous QWERTY keyboard. Those that were frustrated by the lack of a full ...

Touch Pro is an improvement from the entire line of "touch" devices that HTC launched on the market. It has more power (288 MB DDR SDRAM, 512 MB ROM), a better camera (3.2 Megapixel), a better battery (1340 mAh Li-Ion), full QWERTY keyboard, HSDPA and ...

The only thing that may prevent one from buying Touch Pro is definitely its bulky form factor. I can understand that adding a full QWERTY keyboard is important and requires some space, but I still think that 18.5mm in thickness is a little bit over ...

HTC Touch Pro embeds a large 2.8'' VGA touchscreen that supports 262k colors, but only displays 65k colors. The device supports a better resolution than most of the existing Pocket PCs on the market - 480x640 pixels

After throwing on the market one of the first 8 Megapixel camera phones, Samsung iNNOV8, the Korean company didn't relent in its race to conquer the market, and announced its successor or, better said, its rival - Samsung M8800 aka Pixon. We had the ...

Samsung Pixon embeds a 3.2-inch TFT touchscreen, supporting 262k colors and featuring accelerometer sensor. The colors displayed on the screen are well-balanced, contrast is very good and brightness can be set to any desired level. Moreover, it's ...

The mobile division of the Korean giant LG is one of the few handset manufacturers that managed to actually make some profit this year. Basically, the company flooded the market with its mobile devices, so that it could meet as many demands as ...

The 5 Megapixel camera is by far the main attraction of the phone, alas the only one. One could also enlist the built-in accelerometer among the positive things, but this is functional in only a few areas of the device.

The multimedia part is very poorly represented, as in, "almost inexistent." Crappy sound and no RDS for the radio, as well as the fact that it cannot be ran in the background, place the phone outside the area of interest of music lovers. Lack of 3G ...

Still, the screen can be considered mid-ranged in terms of quality, scoring more on the quality of the image displayed, and in terms of performance. One function that saves appearances is the accelerometer sensor for auto-rotate, which is becoming ...

The 3.2'' Megapixel camera with LED flash and auto-focus capabilities is good, but the low quality of the pictures, as well as the fact that it lacks any protective cover, makes it less competitive. One thing that clearly suggests that the phone is ...

Finally, Nokia thought of launching a business phone to include all the necessary tools that a businessman could possibly want. Some of the best features of the handset includes: full QWERTY keyboard, HSDPA and Wi-Fi connectivity, built-in GPS ...

One of the negative features of E71 is its SAR value - 1.33 W/Kg, which is way over everything that Nokia has launched up until now. It almost nears the 1.6 W/Kg, which is the maximum value recommended in US, while in Europe, it is 2.0 W/Kg. Another ...

which are more appropriate for an age of 'anorexic handsets'. There's a huge difference between the last Eseries handset (E61i) and the E71 in terms of size, but small in terms of layout. With only 10mm thickness, the E71 is surely one of the slimmest ...

The well-known Cyber-shot series developed by Sony Ericsson is getting more and more handsets almost each month of the year. Whether you prefer a high-end phone or a mid-level one, the above-mentioned series has it all. Sony Ericsson's portfolio of ...

Besides the HSDPA and 3.2 megapixel camera (with all its features), C702 makes itself noticed by its bulky and compact construction. Let's not forget that the bar has been designed as a splash and dust resistant device. As usual, Sony Ericsson ...

I believe the main disadvantage of the phone is the way it looks. Even if it's not that ugly, C702 is too common to appeal to most SE fans. Also, I noticed that it lacks any document viewer, but I believe this can be corrected by installing a 3rd ...

The keypad features the same layout as a usual Sony Ericsson handset, with a D-pad controller and other six keys, which activate certain basic functions of the phone. The Accept and Reject call keys look like two little knobs now, and are framed by ...

The rightful successor of the highly acclaimed N73 makes its way on the mobile phone market to the sound of fanfare playing. The handset offers almost the same array of features as N95, but at a much lower price. Nokia N82 cannot be tagged as a ...

The fact that Nokia N82 features the best camera on the market will not go unnoticed. Nevertheless, if that be the case, then it will be the Finnish manufacturer's fault for not properly advertising one of its best products. HSDPA, 2.4'' display, good ...

I guess a bit more work on its design would have attracted more users, making people forget about N95 or N73. A more resistant compound should have been used at manufacture, as the phone has been designed for frequent, full use. Ergonomics is not a ...

Feedback received by Nokia regarding the small keys of N91 slider wasn't positive at all but, still, they're set to continue with them. In fact, more and more handsets (especially Sony Ericsson's) adopted the thin keys pattern, which is bad for ...

A while ago, LG Electronics has started to launch multimedia handsets especially designed for music lovers on the mobile phone market. The fact didn't go unnoticed by more experienced mobile phones manufacturers (Nokia, Sony Ericsson), which are ...

The first music-oriented handset launched by LG, even if it was never officially tagged as a "music phone," is a huge step forward for the Korean company. Its reasonable price, dedicated sound chip, good battery autonomy and improved firmware, all ...

The only downsides I found could be corrected in future models, but they're pretty annoying: no hot-swappable memory card, small size and inability to use the screen in strong light, FM radio can only be listened when LG headset is inserted

Also, as with all the other Chocolate series devices, protection of the display is more of a joke and, in no time, your screen will bear the scars of time - literally, especially if you keep it in the same pocket with your keys or change. Technically ...

One of the fastest growing companies in the mobile phone market, HTC, has achieved remarkable recognition over the past couple of years, thanks to its high-end Pocket PCs and smartphones. Since 1997, the year that the Taiwanese manufacturer started ...

Without any doubt, the most enthralling feature of the device is the new TouchFLO 3D interface. The vibrant touch-responsive user interface, ultra-fast HSDPA internet connectivity and rich multimedia features make Touch Diamond one of the best ...

I was about to say that the device lacks the power it needs to offer a smooth multimedia experience but, with the latest ROM launched, this no longer holds true. Still, we have a 3.2 Megapixel below average camera and a very weak battery. Maybe more ...

The first attempt at blending its own user-interface with Microsoft's OS was a success. The device was codenamed HTC Touch, while the interface was named TouchFLO. What was unique about the latter, besides its amazing visual look, was the ability to ...

The new member of Nokia's Nseries, Nokia N81 8GB, is obviously a multimedia-oriented device. We all have great expectations from Nokia high-end line-up, and the Nseries has always offered a wide range of devices that can fulfill even the most ...

One of the best multimedia terminals, Nokia N81 8GB embeds the fastest and most stable operating system. There are two main targets that this phone will fully satisfy: Symbian freaks and music lovers. Internet fans will also love this handset, as it ...

The phone is too heavy and bulky to fit in a small pocket, which will certainly make its desirability lower. A better camera and a much easier to use keypad would've made a difference

The in-call speaker has been placed on a curious, yet unique 4-side plate. The plate can be pressed, as it features two buttons that can be used as controls in various mobile games. The buttons are invisible when not used, but will immediately become ...

The new Sony Ericsson W350i is a mid-level ranged mobile phone that adds to the Walkman series portfolio. As it has been a long time since a famous handset manufacturer launched a flip phone, W350i brings back the Sony Ericsson's T series feeling. ...

There are quite a few nice features that make W350i a good choice as a low-budget phone. Exquisite design, good quality multimedia features, above average battery and the possibility to expand its storage space make Sony Ericsson's W350i worth every ...

I have found that not always a high quality display is enough for a handset ; it also has to be a large one. The 1.9 inches TFT screen is surely too small for a multimedia-oriented handset and is definitely one important slack of the flip phone. Also, ...

The backside of the phone features a small unprotected 1.3 Megapixel camera at the top and a small loudspeaker at the bottom. The back cover is so slim that you can actually see through it (I'm joking!). Even so, it is extremely flexible, thus ...
