Nokia 6303

Mon, 23 Feb 2009 04:14:00 -0600

Getting the success of Nokia 6300. Nokia has released another phone of almost the same specs, only with better aesthetics. This is the new Nokia 6303, it has a metal cover and looks really neat.

The Nokia 6303 has good features for all around use, just like its predecessor 6300... only better. I'm expecting to find a cheap Nokia 6303 mobilephone offer available after a few months. Because just like its predecessor, the Nokia 6303 has a low cost budget range. Try looking into mobilephone deal sites and maybe you'll get a 12 months free line rental deal on this phone. Anyway, take a look at what the Nokia 6303 has to offer.

Design:
The Nokia 6303 has a better design, in my opinion, than the Nokia 6303. It still has a slim body if not slimmer, it is 108.8 x 46.2 x 11.7 mm size, weighs 98 grams. The weight and size of the Nokia 6303 gives it a solid feel but feels durable. The Nokia 6303 has a large 2.2 Inch 16.7 Million Colour TFT QVGA Screen in 320 x 240 pixels resolution. High quality screen and it's big. It displays clear images, watching videos or taking pictures is great. Just below the large screen are the keypads. The keypads are a Nokia standard, ergonomic and easy to navigate. The four way navigation is just great and response is good when you use it.

Camera:
The camera isn't that high spec'd but definitely not lower than the 6300. It has a 3.2 Megapixel Camera and it even has a Dual LED Flash. Naturally, it takes better pictures than its predecessor has an Autofocus feature but you can also zoom manually in 8x Digital Zoom. The Video Recording is fine too, but not that seamless or smooth like the Nokia N96. It can only record 15 frames per second which is pretty good in my opinion.

Multimedia:
The Nokia 6303 is an all around phone that is great in every aspect in multimedia. It has a Music Player that is able to play a wide range of music files: MP3, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, H263 and H264 .The phone also has a video player, for you to enjoy watching movies or videos that you have taken. You can also watch online videos through Video Streaming. It has an FM Radio complete with RDS and on Stereo! It also has a Visual Radio and you can easily plug in those 3.55mm jack headphones which are cheaper than Bluetooth ones.

Calling and messaging:
The Nokia 6303 has Tri Band network connectivity which utilizes GSM 900, GSM 1800, GSM 1900 and WCDMA. It has the all the basic messaging capability a phone should have. It can do SMS (Text Messaging) and MMS (Multimedia Messaging). The phone has Email support and uses SMTP, IMAP4 and POP protocols. You can also send Attachments and Pictures. It also has a predictive text functionality which is most preferred by busy texters. The keypads is a Nokia standard, very easy to press and the key assignments is intuitive.

Internet and connectivity features:
And just like the Nokia 6300, its got the best Internet connectivity you'll ever need. It has EDGE and GPRS, these two are common connectivity which allows fast downloads and quick browsing speeds. It has Opera Mini Browser, Nokia Mobile Search, HTML, XHTML and WML Browsing. This makes the Nokia 6303 a great phone when Internet browsing. When connecting to other devices it uses Bluetooth and Micro USB technology which are well know and mostly used.

Battery:
As for how much space can the Nokia 6303 take, you can feel at ease taking pictures and videos without getting “not enough memory” error. The Nokia 6303 has 64MB memory but it comes with a 1GB MicroSD memory card which can go up to 4GB!

Mon, 26 Jan 2009 04:23:00 -0600

Music phones are released almost every month and at almost the same rate, touchscreen phones have been out of the market like fresh fish out of the ocean. Being as a competitive mobilephone market, Nokia is also preparing their own releases and looks like Nokia is countering their rivals in one go.

Featuring the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic! That's right, its a music phone and its a touchscreen phone! Well, you certainly can't expect it to have a low price but you can get a free Nokia 5800 XpressMusic cashback deal or you can browse around the net to find cheap Vodafone line rental discount which of course could include the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic for a cheap price or even free. Well, enough with the deal and lets see some details on this classy, powerful multimedia phone!

Design:
The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is a cool looking music phone designed to attract fashion conscious users with its huge touchscreen.

The phone is easy to hold & fits well in the hand, it's got a 111 x 51.7 x 15.5 mm and weighs 109 grams. The big 3.2 inch 16 million colour touch screen in 640 x 320 pixels shows utmost richness in display. It looks beautiful and definitely full of details, its the brightest and clearest screen I've seen on a touch screen phone.

The design and details on the casing looks simplistic yet very cool looking. It is in full touchscreen functionality and the virtual keypad works great and easier to use, perhaps better than other touchscreen phones.

Multimedia:
Well this is what this phone is for, multimedia! You can expect the best when it comes to entertainment on the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic.

The music player has, and expected, great audio quality plus the speakers are well placed and pretty loud. You can also see the Album Graphics Display which takes advantage of the powerful display of the screen.

The Music Selection is a convenient sorting program for your music as it sorts and displays information by its Album, Artist, Composer and Genre. You can also save your own playlist.
It has an 8 Band Graphics Equalizer making music sound better and customizable in the sense that you can change how it will sound. It has a volume key so that you can easily change the volume and not go through the menus anymore.
And if Sony Ericsson Walkman phones has MegaBass then Nokia XpressMusic has Bass Booster and Stereo Widening which boosts sound to the level that it won't deter when you tune it up. You can also change its loudness, no not volume, as it has its own control.

And since its a music phone it naturally has a convenient music control and that is the Media Bar Touch Screen in which accessing not only accesses the Music easier but also Video, Images, Web, Share Online and Video Centre too.

It has a good video player. The phone is also equipped with a nice FM Radio complete with RDS, a feature that should not miss out in any multimedia phone. You can also output your videos on the TV like a portable DVD player (or not).

This phone can hold out 81MB of files but can be better using its MicroSD memory card support. The MicroSD memory card can be 8GB and even as high as 16GB!

Network and Internet connectivity:
The Nokia 5800 is a 3G phone that is able to connect to the Internet and make video calls efficiently. It has Quad Band: GSM 850, GSM 900, GSM 1800 and GSM 1900 plus HSDPA 2100. This makes it a very useful phone able to connect and support frequencies that countries use. This means you can pretty much connect your calls almost anywhere in the world. Pretty convenient huh? Video calls are smooth and uses 3G HSDPA.

Anyway, it has EDGE technology, which is 3x faster than GPRS. It also has a very convenient WLAN Wi-Fi connection, this enables the phone to connect though Wi-Fi, a very convenient connection since a lot of places offer free connection lie Library or restaurants etc. I'm sure you'll like that a lot. You can easily transfer files via Bluetooth or Micro USB. It also has a 3.5mm AV Jack which is a very convenient since you can use normal headphone/set. The phone has WAP and XHTML Browser, pre-installed and ready to use.

Camera:
Now as for the camera, the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic doesn't have much to boast but it sure does have enough to satisfy you. This phone only has a 3.2 Megapixel Camera but it has a high quality lens which is a Carl Zeiss Optics. It has 3x Digital Zoom which is good. It has Dual LED Flash but its not as good as a Xenon Flash. Although they're just average, its good enough for a user who wants this phone for its multimedia use.

Battery:
The battery can last up to 2 hours Talk time and 250 hours standby, surprisingly a let down seeing as the phone doesn't have that many features to boast about...

Useful features:
Since its a touchscreen phone, its somewhat tied to the stereotype that touchscreens are like PDAs. Well, indeed you can treat this music phone like a PDA. It has features that are useful for people with busy schedules and people who like to go out. Its got Call Log for busy people, it lists Dialled, Missed and received calls. It has AGPS Navigation and Nokia Maps Applications, an excellent feature for people who likes to go out of the city, touring or just visiting some friends house in which you don't know much about the place.

Samsung S9402 Ego

Wed, 14 Jan 2009 03:57:00 -0600

There are a lot of Network discounts and free mobilephone package deals, we would like to take advantage of those and most of the time, our friends and family uses a different Network. Unfortunately, calling or sending a message to other networks cost more. So, we buy another SIM card with another network and for the mean time and use it to lessen the cost by using the same network your contact is using. So now you have two or more SIM cards and maybe some are for networks from a different country... no big deal, just that you'll be carrying different mobilephones or keep them in a container for later use.

Switching SIM cards is such a chore. That's why dual SIM mobilephones are emerging. These mobilephones are very practical in terms of receiving calls from different networks or exclusive contacts. Most of these phones are made for developing countries as they offer lots and lots of network discounts that they get confused as to what network they should stick to. Well, we've got one ourselves in UK and its from a trusted maker of mobilephones, Samsung. Readers, let me introduce to you: Samsung S9402. A dual SIM mobilephone, able to send and receive messages or calls from 2 different networks simultaneously. Whether you would need it for business purposes or for cost cutting or for keeping exclusive contacts... it is good to have multiple SIMs working. Anyway, the Samsung S9402 Ego has more than just dual SIM functionality and here are further details of the phone:

Design:

Oh nothing very flashy but enough to turn people's head your way. The Samsung S9402 has a sleek design showing off its fairly large 2 inch OLED 256k color screen. The screen is very nice, displays images very well and the details are sharp as it has 240 x 320 resolution. Although it looks like it has a slider form from afar, its actually a solid bar design. It feels firm and sturdy and it is only 115 x 48 x 16 mm. It has good keypads, it looks good and feels good to press. The navigation buttons are also easy to use.

The phone can handle SMS (Text Messaging) and MMS (Multimedia Messaging) messages. These message types are commonly used, you won't have much problems regarding the receiving and sending of messages. It can also do Email and it has Predictive Text functionality that will speed up your texting, helpful especially when you're in a hurry.

Well, you know that the Samsung S9402 Ego is a Dual SIM phone but what about its network capability? Well, don't fret, Samsung has provided the S9402 Ego a Tri Band network, allowing GSM 900, GSM 1800 and GSM 1900. By this, you can take the S9402 on a trip without having to worry on signals. No 3g Video calls though...

The Samsung S9402 Ego is very efficient as it has great Internet and connectivity capability as well.The phone's got support on Bluetooth & USB gives ease to data transfers. Its got a decent Internet connectivity in GPRS and EDGE.

The Samsung S9402 Ego wasn't made for taking pictures but it sure has one bloody hell of a camera! Is the the 5 Megapixel Camera with a normal Flash and Auto Focus good enough for you? Well it should! Its one hell of a communication focused phone to have the best camera quality up to date. The images taken are clear and looks professional. However, it lacks a better zoom feature taking away the efficiency part of the phone. It has it's own camera key on the side so you won't have any difficulty taking the shots.

The phone's Music Player is decent enough to play common music files. The phone has Micro SD Memory Card Support, you can buff it up with bigger numbers. Thankfully the phone has an FM Radio and its in RDS. The Samsung S9402 Ego has 1 GB of Memory plus a MicroSD memory card which can go up to as much as 8 GB! Overkill? For a music oriented picture hungry person, I think not!

To become a really useful phone, it has to have good battery power... and the Samsung S9402 Ego delivers. Its got a decent 3.5 hours talk time or 280 hours standby. Pretty good for a phone that can handle 2 networks at the same time!

Well, we can easily conclude that the Samsung S9402 Ego is definitely a good choice for buying a reliable phone mainly used for communication. Anyway, if you're up to it, its best that you get the best free Samsung S9402 Ego line rental deal so you can easily take advantage of the network that it was provided.

Samsung T919 Behold

Mon, 12 Jan 2009 03:45:00 -0600

Network mobilephone contracts are great and offer a lot of discounts, especially if you happen to bump on a 12 months free line rental deal which is a convenient deal. Some of deals are a bit of pain to maintain but considering the amount of money you could save, its worth the deal.

Lately, there's been a limit to these deals. You can't find a 12 months contract deal that offers 12 months of free line rental anymore and if you did I'm betting its for an outdated phone. No way can you find that kind of deal now...

Anyway, here's a mobilephone that is exclusively made for one of the best Communications Network Provider, the Samsung T-mobile T919 Behold. This phone is for people who like to go out, take pictures, listen to music and look good with this impressive mobilephone. And without further ado, lets take a look at what this exclusive phone can do for us:

The Samsung T919 is made to impress camera conscious users as well as style conscious users. The Samsung T919 is a touch screen mobilephone and its just 104.6 x 53.3 x 12.7 mm in size and only weighs 113 grams. Because of its slim size, the phone is very easy to hold and kept in your pocket. It's a solid bar design but a little distorted to add more style! The details on the phone looks totally cool. The user interface and the wallpapers perfectly match the casing color theme. The screen is beautiful, bright and clear; it is a 3 inch TFT 262k color touch screen in 240 x 400 pixels. The touchscreen is brilliant especially with its user friendly interface. You can drag and drop widgets easily, you can customize your shortcuts this way.

The Samsung T919 has good multimedia capabilities too. Although not that great but enough to keep you from being bored. It is able to play various music files commonly used in mobile phones, such as MP3, AAC, AAC+, eACC+ and WMA. You can save up to as much as 180 MB of songs and if you upgrade it's memory using MicroSD memory card support, it can have as much as 16GB of memory! You won't have to worry about saving all those music as the Samsung T919 has a Music Storage made for well... storing and sorting your music. You can watch MPEG4, H263 and WMV on the Samsung Behold, also you can watch online through Video Streaming.

In messaging features, you can count on the Samsung T919 Behold. It has basic to advanced messaging capabilities. The phone has basic SMS (Text Messaging), MMS (Multimedia Messaging) and even EMS (Enhanced Messaging). The Samsung Behold doesn't have real keypads, but virtual keypads instead. The virtual keypads can be used like a real keypad in T9 mode, where you hold the phone vertically, just like a normal mobilephone. Now Tilt it and hold it horizontally just like how you would hold a smartphone, the keypads transforms into a virtual QWERTY keyboard. Pretty amazing huh? Well, problem with touch screens is its usability. You sometimes get the feeling of uneasiness or frustration because you don't feel what you are typing, the old feeling of pushing a real button isn't there... but not with the T919 Behold. Its got Haptics technology which gives you feedback or response when you "press" the virtual buttons. It gives a vibration or something of that sort in which will make you feel that it you "pressed" the button.

When calling the phone uses Quad Band, this is a a very high network capability and it won't matter much whether if you're in the UK or USA or anywhere in the world as the phone uses GSM 900, GSM 1800, GSM 1900 and WCDMA 1700 frequencies. Frequencies which automatically switches so you won't have any problem with the signal. The phone has a Call Log, Call Cost and Call Timer which records your calls if ever you would want to monitor them. And if you want to connect to the Internet, the Samsung T919 Behold is more than capable of doing so. Its got: 3G HSDPA which is the best connectivity for 3G Video Calls by the way and EDGE and GPRS. These three technologies are the best for delivering the fastest Internet connection possible for a mobilephone. And if you need to be connected with other devices, you can use its Bluetooth with A2DP for wireless headsets or wireless speakers, alternatively you can use the ol' USB.

Now, lets finally get down to business where the Samsung T919 Behold is very good at... and its Camera Features. Although the T919 Behold holds a powerful 5 megapixel camera, it wasn't that good to live up to my expectations. It slows down and has a short lag before it actually loads your pictures and even taking it take much time. But this can be solved by lowering the resolution, it will reduce its quality but it will speed up the loading time between taking and processing pictures. Anyway, the camera has 4x Digital Zoom, nothing to be proud its just that this provides you ease when taking photos as you won't have to be physically close to your target, the phone provides it for you, that is you have to do it manually though. And if you want automatic, it can be done as the T919 has Auto-Focus functionality. And last but not the least, it has LED Flash which is crucial when trying to take photos on dark lit areas or against the light.

Unlike most touchscreen phones, the Samsung T919 Behold can last a lot longer than you expect it would. Samsung has stated that it can last up to a whole 5 hours Talk Time or 300 Hours on standby. That's quite a lot for a touch screen based mobilephones as they usually consume battery power much faster.

Now, don't you think the Samsung T919 is a very powerful phone? Its got the best features packed inside for you to exploit. And let me remind you again, this phone is exclusive only for T-mobile network and while you're at it, you should aim to have this phone in the cheapest deal possible.

Samsung i7110

Thu, 06 Nov 2008 10:17:00 -0600

Mobile phones are getting better with every release but the prices are getting out of hand too. You've seen what the Samsung i8510 INNOV8 and I bet you're itching to have one but unfortunately you can't afford it. You can turn to cheap Vodafone free line rental deals online but I doubt they'll offer outrageous discounts. But don't give up hope yet. I won't offer a cheaper deal but I'll just introduce you a bit toned down Samsung I8510 INNOV8, the Samsung i7110.

The Samsung i7110 is only a few bucks cheaper than the Samsung i8510 but I don't think that there's much difference. They both have awesome features though (and pretty much the same) and both look just as good (to me), depending on your taste that is. The difference is the camera features and the i8510 performs better due having a higher megapixel. As for other features, the i7110 and the i850i are pretty much the same. Anyway, I'll give you a few details and decide if it's good for you or not.

Although the T9 can get frustrating at first, reading a tutorial found online will help you get used to it and you'll definitely find it useful.

Camera:
This is where the difference of the Samsung i8510 and i7110 lies. The Samsung i7110 only has a 5 Megapixel Camera. It has Flash and Auto Focus which gives good quality shots. The images taken are clear and look professional even though it's just point and shoot. It has an Image Stabilizer which is essential and important when taking pictures so as not to blur your shots even though you have shaky hands.

The Samsung i7110 is also a good communication tool, not just by its looks. It's got a Quad Band network which uses GSM 850, GSM 900, GSM 1800 and GSM 1900 frequencies. By this, you can take the i7110 on a trip and not worry much about signals. More than that it's got an excellent video call capability; video calls are implemented in 3G HSDPA allowing you to have smooth video calls.

The phone's got support on Bluetooth & USB gives ease to data transfers. It's got a very fast connectivity; these are WLAN WIFI, HSCSD, GPRS and the famous EDGE. This makes the i7110 an excellent phone when it is connecting to the Internet and when transferring files from other devices.

You can listen to FM radio which is complete in RDS. You can also customize your ringtones and use your Mp3 songs. The Video Player supports MPEG4, WMV, DivX, H263 and H264 and you can transfer those clips or movies in this phone and just watch it on the road or anywhere you want. There also a TV Out so you can watch your saved movies from the phone to your TV screen!

Internet:

It has WAP 2.0 and XHTML.

The phone has Micro SD Memory Card Support which means you can have more memory if you're not contented with its already high 120MB memory.

Not only is it power packed with features, it's also packed with performance! It's got good battery power capable of lasting 11 Hours GSM Talk Time or 430 Hours Standby Time.

The phone also has an AGPS function that will make GPS more functional even if you're under big city buildings.

Well, this ends my article on what I found out about the Samsung i7110. Aside from the megapixel and design, there isn't really a big difference on the i8510 and the i7110. It's up to you if you'd settle for a few more bucks to afford the i8510 or you'd settle for the i7100 which is a bit cheaper.

And indeed I don't blame people for craving designer phones as “looks does matter” in mobile phones. And now, ladies and gentlemen, this is the new LG KF510. It's got the style, the looks and usability that you'll ever want on a mobile phone. It's a designer phone and aims to sell by its looks, but don't underestimate its capabilities. The phone can pretty much do all around uses, however let us discuss in detail whether it's worth the buck or not.

Design:

The LG KF510 is the latest release in the KF series, KF600 Venus being the first. Obviously very attractive when looking at it's stunning design. The casing is metallic like the LG Shine but only weighs 91 grams, feels solid and durable.

The phone has a 104.5 x 49.5 x 10.9 mm overall size, it's a solid slider phone and the depth of the sides are shaped in trapezoid making it more easy to hold.
The cover has gradient color theme which makes it all the more attractive, it currently has a black and sunset red color themes available.
The phone has a large 2.2 inch 262k color screen in 176 x 208 pixels. It's big and it displays clear images, watching videos or just looking at pictures is a pleasure.
Below the large screen is a touch sensitive screen, it displays virtual buttons that looks like glowing dots.
Depending on the program or menu you are using, the virtual buttons change. As an example, when press the down navigation button, it displays an downward arrow shape complying to your command.
There are fixed buttons on the four corners of the navigational pad, these are the call, end call, accept and cancel buttons.
The virtual buttons disappear whenever the phone is closed and repaper when you touch the touch pad.
Sliding it open reveals its ergonomic keypads. The keypads are excellent and it is easy to txt or dial with it. However for some, they will need some time to get used to it. They are well placed and looks sturdy making it easy to get along with it.

Camera:

For a newly released designer phone, it's got a nice camera.

It's got a 3 Megapixel Camera but no zoom feature. Although the megapixel is nice, it does need more power from zooming features. Lighting conditions isn't much to worry about because thankfully, it's got a Flash.
Not that powerful but enough to take good looking pictures taken on a dark lit place.
Unlike some phones, the KF510's camera lens is protected by it's long back cover.

Calling and messaging:

Calling and messaging capabilities of the KF510 is good.

It has a Tri Band frequency allowing good signals with-in network coverage but isn't so good in between countries.
These are GSM 900, GSM 1800 and GSM 1900 frequencies. Unfortunately it's a non-3G phone, so Video Calling featureis out of the topic.
Messaging is also good in this phone, it has the basic SMS and MMS support. It also has the predictive text functionality that speed texters love.

Multimedia:

In terms of music experience, the LG KF510 is a good enough to keep you from getting bored. Nothing like the famous Walkman Music player but just enough to satisfy you music loving ear.

The music player plays pretty loud but a little tinny.
It's got an FM Radio which is really nice, this is a feature that shouldn't be left out on a music phone which sometimes doesn't have.
The phone supports MP3 Ringtones so prepare those catchy sounds and install them on this phone.
If needed that much of a diversion, the phone has a Video Player for you to watch movies or recorded videos.
If that's not enough then try its Embedded Java Games, pre-installed for you to enjoy.
These games also include 3D Games if you're an avid gamer and want a much advanced game experience.
There are also a lot of Downloadable Games available for this phone.

Memory:

The KF510 can only store 16 Mbytes Memory but don' worry, it has MicroSD Memory Card support. The phone has an average battery lasting up to 4 hours talk time or 400 hours standby.

Over all the LG KF510 is a good phone to have. It's equipped with features that can do pretty much all around tasks. It looks awesome and useful too. It's still a new release but keep an eye on cheap mobile phone deals with free PS3available online and maybe you'll spot an early LG KF510 12 months free line rental deal.

Motorola ROKR E6

Fri, 02 May 2008 05:19:00 -0500

Motorola clamshell design phones have dominated the market for it's outstanding looks. The average features makes the phone costs lesser, making the phone easily a favorite among users who's in a tight budget. However, some might not agree with this, especially busy users who wants and needs good functionality and features. It is a common misunderstanding that busy users doesn't care about looks of their gadget, focused on usability and high features. Well, its mostly true but having a good looking design also matters. Motorola is a good producer of cool looking phones, its quite a shame as many aren't as usable as Nokia phones. But here comes the new Motorola ROKR E6. A solid bar design phone that looks as cool as its predecessors but has more features than your regular Motorola phone. What's more is that it's got many software upgrades and suped up functionality that will suit a busy user's need.

Unlike most Motorola phones, the ROKR E6 is a fashionable touch screen sensitive phone. Motorola is standing up to the touch screen trend. The phone has an overall size of 111 x 51.5 x 14.5 mm and weighs 121 grams, quite bulky but feels solid to hold. Taking much of the space is its 2.4 Inch TFT 262k Color Touch Screen, display area is 240 x 320 pixels. Colors are bright and the images are displayed clear, the screen is great for viewing. Taking advantage of the good screen, the phone has excellent user interface. It's pretty easy to navigate and the theme compliments the good looking casing.

Just below the big screen are the call, end call and navigation buttons. Well design and easy to press, the phone is easy to use when calling. However, like other touch screen based phones, it is hard to type messages as the keypads are virtual. Use the stylus to add precision when writing a message. It takes a while to get used to it, but once you do get used to it, you'll easily love the ROKR E6.

Given the name ROKR, you'll easily get the hunch “its a music phone”, not really. Although the phone offers good multimedia capabilities, the ROKR E6 leans more toward business usability, that is smartphone capability. The phone has got good music output. The phone has an Mp3 player, not very versatile but it gets the job done keeping you from being bored. It has Music Controls just below the large touch screen, this makes it easy for users to switch between songs without having to access the menus. Sadly, the phone only has a basic 8MB memory, not enough to store many songs but large enough for pictures and other files. It does however, has MicroSD Memory Card support up to 2 Gbyte. I think that solves you problem. Anyway, the phone has an FM Radio, listen to the news or random songs if ever you get bored hearing the same song over and over again.

Like I said earlier, the Motorola ROKR E6 0is great phone for busy users. It has all the basic application features of a smart phone and much more. Busy user's will surely love this phone as it has a handy Document Viewer, helps you view those important files even if you're not at your office. Running in Linux Operating System, the phone loads pretty fast. Although there isn't many complains about this type of OS, it's generally a good switch from Symbian Operating Systems phones to try out. It's got a Business Card Recognition and a Barcode Scanning feature, two features that are handy.

The Motorola ROKR E6 is a good communicator, it's got a good Internet and Calling Capabilities. Its got the fastest, the most up to date features available today. It has Tri Band network making it quite reliable to bring on a tour anywhere in the world. Utilizing GSM 850, GSM 900, GSM 1800 and GSM 1900 frequencies to effectively allow better roaming between countries. Its got GPRS and WAP Technology. Internet is fast and data transfer is super easy with USB and Bluetooth support.

Messaging is also as important as calling and the Motorola ROKR E6 does great. It supports SMS (Text Messaging), MMS (Multimedia Messaging) and EMS (Enhanced Messaging). It can send emails though and it has the predictive text functionality which speed texters like. This just means that the ROKR E6 doesn't have any problems sending and receiving messages.

The Motorola ROKR E6 does good in taking pictures. It's got a 2 Megapixel Camera with 8 x Digital Zoom. Not enough to satisfy a camera lover's heart but is enough to take quality pictures in great details. It does the job done, neatly taking pictures clearly and in full color. Sadly, it doesn't have a flash, quite a turn off. It has Photo Effects and Photo Modes for you to use in order to produce good results, while this is a good thing, it doesn't quite offset the lack of Flash.

Its a highly designed mobile phone as expected of Motorola, it will have a high price bracket. Consider getting cheap mobile phone deals or cheap monthly Motorola ROKR E6 offers. These deals will help you get an advantage in getting the phone without spending too much.

Motorola RAZR2 V9

Wed, 30 Apr 2008 04:51:00 -0500

Walking in on a grand party then flashing out your new designer phone would make your night --- or probably not. Picking out the best phone is probably a head ache, especially now that there are a lot of new releases coming. New phones are already selling leaving old ones out. This creates a problem when you actually got the phone and found out that its got a lot of issues. More headache I should say.

It's probably the best choice to pick out a phone that was released just a month earlier so that you can easily find its strengths and weaknesses via reviews such as this. Well here we are now, discussing a newly released phone and this time it's the new 3G phone Motorola RAZR2 V9. The latest release of Motorola ever since Motorola V8. Recently, Motorola hasn't made any new top selling phone. Most new phones of today now highly featured or more aimed to the masses by having lower features but lesser price. And judging by the name, it's probably a better V8, but let's find out whether this is truly a better one or just another “rushed release”.

Design:

Just like most Motorola phones, the RAZR2 V9 has this distinct “Motorola” look. Well, they almost look the same but still, it looks good and people still haven't got over it, they still crave for the old RAZR look.

Its a clamshell designed phone having a size of 103 x 53 x 13.3 mm weighs 125 grams. It's small and feels solid.
The casing looks cool and elegant, the details on the sides and on the keypads are unique to Motorola.
The keypads looked cool in metallic design, they are arranged ergonomically making it efficient in texting or dialing.
The phone is adorned with 2 beautiful screens. The large one is an internal 2.2 Inch TFT 262k Color Screen in 320 x 240 pixels resolution, high quality and displays clearly. On the cover, it has a 2 inch QVGA 262k color screen in 320 x 240 pixels, as big as the internal screen and as clear as crystal. The 2 screens are excellent only differentiating in use. Obviously the internal screen is the main display, it shows the main menu and all the stuff you can do. The external however, displays information about the phone. But both can display wallpapers, screen savers, video clips and photos.
Just sitting below the large external screen is the music player controls, they are touch sensitive and looks really cool.

Multimedia:

The Motorola RAZR2 V9 is also an excellent medium for entertainment. It has an excellent Music Player has good audio output allowing you to listen to your favorite songs without losing quality.

It can play almost all the music file types out there. The RAZR2 V9 can play these types: MP3, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, WAV, MIDI and XMF. Its versatile so you can add most types of compressed music file found on the Internet.
Music experience is all good on the Motorola RAZR2 V9, but sadly it doesn't have an FM Radio, such let down.
If music isn't your hype you can use its Video Player or if you feel like it watch videos Online via Video Streaming.

Calling and messaging:

Motorola has stressed the calling capabilities of the RAZR2 V9 and it is awesome.

It has a Quad Band network connectivity, certainly is enough to have good calls and keep having good signals. Specifically the RAZR2 V9 can take GSM 850, GSM 900, GSM 1800, GSM 1900 plus WCDMA. Definitely and excellent phone to bring on a trip or even anywhere in the world.
It even has a Voice Recognition Dialling feature which allows you to call and drive without problems.
This is a real treat, the Motorola RAZR2 V9 has implemented a CrystalTalk Technology. This just basically means you won' t have any problems hearing your friends voice over the phone, a small feature but it's got a good impact. Good move for Motorola.

And as important as calling, messaging features of the RAZR2 V9 doesn't fall below average.

It can receive and send SMS (Text Messaging), EMS (Enhanced Messaging) and MMS (Multimedia Messaging).
It also has an Instant Messaging and Predictive Text functionality to help you send messages fast when you really need it.
You can also write and send an Email.
The phone has MotoSync that enables you to easily access your messages.

Internet capability:

The RAZR2 V9 is also an excellent Internet phone. It has highly advanced technologies that enables high speed data transfers, this just basically means that the RAZR2 V9 rocks.

The phone has a video calling capability that has 3G HSDPA which boosts the performance of your video calls, smooth, fast and efficient.
Browsing is a breeze as it has GPRS and EDGE, both are popular technologies that allows super fast Internet connections. Having an EDGE connectivity doesn't need you to have a good signal when browsing the net, it is that great.

Camera:

The camera feature for the Motorola RAZR2 V9 isn't much a biggie though.

It only has 2 Megapixel Camera and 8 x Digital Zoom, rated average to below average, nothing to boast about. But even though it has a low megapixel, it can still take excellent pictures and videos.
It can record a whole 1 hour clip.
An offset for the low megapixel is its ability to stream your recording to your friend, LIVE. Motorola calls this the “See what I see Feature”, this totally brings a new trend on mobiles phone camera features.

Battery and memory:

Good thing is you can save up to as much as 45MB of songs or just data files and pictures. Well, the memory is quite low but you can always buy a MicroSD memory card to expand it further.
The phone can only last for 3.4 Hours Talk Time or 260 Hours Standby, average but its enough to keep you from being bored.

All in all, what can I say. It's a darn good phone. Excellent for almost type of user. This will undoubtedly top the market easily and best cash back deals with free laptop isn't that far away. Also watch out the most preferred Motorola RAZR2 V9 12 months free line rental, it's easily the best way to get this phone without spending too much money.

Samsung F490

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 04:48:00 -0500

Touch based screens are now the top selling features. Most noticeable are the LG Prada, Viewty and the new LG Venus. Touch screen phones have a common flaw though and that is usability. This is because not many people are used to using a touch screen based phone. Keeping up with the competition, Samsung released their own style of touch based screens. Introducing the new Samsung F490, a beautifully design phone that kind of resembles the LG touch screen phones. The phone promises great features but questionable in usability.

Design:

For a full touch screen mobile it naturally has a large screen, boasting a 3.2 Inch TFT 262k color touch screen. The colors are manipulated in 240 x 432 pixels resolution. This makes the phone a top-notch in viewing images from your taken videos and pictures. The user interface looks good and fits the whole theme of the F490. The keypads are all virtual. They are nicely animated and very responsive. The phone has real keys but they are only for receiving and ending calls.

Camera:

Most of these touch screen phones have a high megapixel camera and the Samsung F490 didn't leave this out either.

It has 5 megapixel camera which captures pictures in great details.
Unfortunately the phone only has an Auto Focus function with pretty much do the job at taking causal pictures.
The Flash is nothing to brag about but this is enough to light things up when needed. If you're patient enough to learn changing the settings that works on your favor, then you've got a good phone that takes good quality pictures.

Multimedia:

The Samsung F490 has nice multimedia capabilities.

Like most phones, it has a music player and a video player.
The music player has great audio quality plus the speakers are loud, it plays virtually all the common files specifically in MP3, AAC, AAC+ and WMA . The video player is great and can play WMV, MPEG4, H263 and H264 . And with the big Screen, the phone allows you to view your videos in Widescreen.
The phone has a nice MP3 quality ring tone, you can change it in what ever song you want.

Messaging and calling:

Messaging and calling capabilities are important functions of a phone and the Samsung F490 does a good job.

The F490 supports common messaging formats in SMS(Text Messaging), EMS(Enhanced Messaging) and MMS (Multimedia Messaging).
It has Instant Messaging, Email and Predictive Text Input functionalities that a regular user would love.
On calling, the F490 has a Tri Band frequency, uses GSM 900, GSM 1800 and GSM 1900. These frequencies are common in the UK and most of USA, so you won't have much problems connecting there. Roaming is easy for the Samsung F490, these frequencies are switched automatically so you wouldn't have to put any effort switching it. Network coverage depends much on the provider though, so keep it in mind when traveling.

Internet:

The Samsung F490 is an excellent 3G phone also good in connecting through the Internet.

It has a fast data transfer rate technology implemented on the phone allowing fast Internet connection.
The video call functionality is excellent with 3G HSDPA implementation.
It has EDGE technology, which is 3x faster than GPRS. It even has a GPRS for the sake of availability.
The phone has WAP 2.0 browser, pre-installed and ready to use.
The phone also allows you to transfer files easily via Bluetooth and USB support.

Battery and Memory:

For having these features on a phone, the phone has to have a good battery. So far the Samsung F490 has the best battery for a touch screen phone. It can last up to 6 hours talk time or 220 hours standby. You won't have to charge it as much as you'd enjoy it, great work for Samsung. The phone has a basic memory of 130 MB, just enough to store medium amount of files, videos and pictures. It has MicroSD memory card support which enables the phone to have a much larger memory.

No doubt the Samsung F490 is a favorite among teens and adults alike! The phone is already available in Europe and many are impatiently craving for this phone. This will be expected have a high-price range. Try checking cheap monthly Samsung F490 offers and you might get lucky and get free line rental with free gifts with this phone.
