BlackBerry Storm / Thunder / 9500

BlackBerry Storm Review

By PhoneArena Team

What's this, the new BlackBerry? Woah, it has no keyboard. And…did it just click? You've never clicked a screen before, is that supposed to happen? Is it supposed to ......

Superb multimedia performance, Large, vivid display, Vastly improved web browsing experience, Excellent call quality and battery life

The onscreen keyboard is simply unacceptable, The normally stable BlackBerry OS is anything but, with constant lag and input issues, Accelerometer performance is buggy at best, The OS changes are mostly visual, and at times is still more complicated than...

The Storm sets very lofty goals, but misses the mark on so many of them and in the process loses its way. At its core a BlackBerry should be a top notch messaging device, which has always allowed us to look past other shortcomings. Not so with the Storm...

All-angle comparison of the 8MP phones

Time flies, doesn't it? Today, the mobile technology develops so fast that if you'll most likely miss something interesting if you close your eyes for 10-15 minutes. ......

is the only one with slow menu transitions and slow loading of the gallery and music player. This is not so crucial but anyway it creates the impression of not such a good optimization

Nokia 5200

Nokia 5220 XpressMusic Review

By PhoneArena Team

One of the latest additions to Nokia's XpressMusic series is Nokia 5220. The phone catches the eye with a unique vision and affordable price. Like the rest of the devices of the ......

Unique, asymmetrical shape and vision, Light and easy to carry, Good sound quality and long-lasting battery for music listening

Unusable display in direct sunlight, Bad camera, Hard to remove back lid

The market is flooded with various music phone models and you could easily miss the 5220 XpressMusic, because you might think that its design is a result of a designer's mistake. The asymmetrical shape and the aggressive image of the phone are more approp...

HTC Touch HD

HTC Touch HD Review

By PhoneArena Team

Let's analyze its name – Touch HD. The first word shows that the device belongs to the Touch series, known for its optimized interface in order to be finger-friendly. But what does HD stand ......

3.8? WVGA display, Very good size and construction, This is the phone for document viewing

Currently, it cannot play quality videos, Weak display performance in direct sunlight, More lag in the menu compared to Touch Diamond

We were excited when we started testing the phone, hoping that we'll see something great and revolutionary. Sadly, the reality is different. Hardware-wise, the Touch HD is impressive with a large display and excellent build quality. As a phone, it offers...

Nokia N85

Nokia N85 Review

By PhoneArena Team

Nokia N85 is the first phone of Nokia's N-series which is equipped with an OLED display. That technology doesn't consume that much energy, doesn't fade away in direct sunlight and offers a ......

Magnificent image of the organic display, Loud and high-quality sound no matter whether you're talking or listening to music with the headphones, A good camera

It's not offering anything new, besides the cool display, Its overall build quality doesn't match its high price, The Navi wheel sensor is almost unusable, The camera shutter is not user-friendly, The captured videos freeze

On the whole we are quite disappointed by the N85 due the total lack of new features. It's not a bad phone, but there are no innovations compared to previous models. The

HTC G1 with Google (Google Phone)

T-Mobile G1 Review

By PhoneArena Team

T-Mobile USA and HTC have brought the first Dream to reality and released the G1. As the first device running Android it has had lots of expectations heaped on it, too many most likely. Android is ......

Android looks to be the real deal, Almost everything is customizable, Keypad is one of the best out there, Large, responsive touchscreen, Open platform + Android Market = infinite possibilities, Device is large, but ergonomics are good, Great battery life...

Hardware is good, but not groundbreaking, Android is still immature, No video player, camcorder or stereo Bluetooth yet

Android is impressive, and the G1 is a nice piece of hardware. Still, we can't help but feel that both Google and HTC could have done more for a launch device. When we step back and look at the bigger picture the future is bright, very bright, but in th...
