Google Nexus S 4G

Google Nexus S 4G

Introduction:

Based on the mystique of "pure Google" Nexus, Nexus S made its debut in December of making gingerbread in the market. While the HTC Nexus had a mystique that has differentiated in the market with hardware, Nexus S is essentially a slightly redesigned Galaxy S without the TouchWiz UI. Although the Nexus S could not sport the latest goodies found in some of the latest phones Android, probably always a bit of life left in it. What does show is that Sprint has decided to release the Nexus S, but to improve by a version compatible with the 4G, 4G, and called Nexus S. specification remains unchanged, so in this day of mobile dual-core, let's see how the Nexus S 4G batteries in place.

Included with Nexus S 4G you get a stereo headset, a microUSB cable and AC adapter and user manuals and standard quick start guides.

Design:

Design-wise, 4G Nexus Nexus S S remains unchanged, and because there is no operator is a trademark, it is not possible to distinguish the two without removing the battery cover. The phone is similar to a feeling of the original Galaxy S-telephones, such as the charming and vibrant. This means that the phone is lightweight, with thin, Samsung's extensive use of plastic. Do not you feel that the quality of the Nexus One HeFT was, but it does not mean that the S Nexus is poorly constructed. It fits easily in your pocket, and is thin enough that you forget it's there. Outline the phone and makes a beautiful and have taken against your face. On the front of the curve is convex, thus improving the aesthetics and comfort. That said, 4 "Super AMOLED screen is incredibly bright and vibrant. It can be read in almost any lighting condition and from any angle.

LG Phoenix

LG Phoenix

Introduction:

Seeing that almost all wireless services under the sun to offer its own version of the LG Optimus One for some time, now AT & T finally gets its fill of the budget to use Android smartphones. Stand the wait was pleasantly challenging, especially when he came to the United States last fall, but their production however, must ensure a level of customer satisfaction. LG also available as grow in alignment with the company prepaid the $ 29.99 in the contract of LG-P505 Phoenix might be able to grow in the ashes and still look like a decent combination, despite being late game.

Design:

Following implications for the design style of the previous variants, the LG Phoenix certainly has a major design firm that is building a cheap smartphone. Because the lining of blue soft touch around, holding the phone while pushing a clean city waste over that - well, its chrome bezel sprinkle a bit of character to tell.

Motorola DROID X2

Motorola DROID X2

Introduction:

Deeply rooted in our memories until now, Motorola Droid X managed to be one of the most memorable combination of last year due to its strong presence in the Android community. Needless to say, every nook and corner of the machine that breathes larger than life status, but since things have changed considerably in recent months, it is obviously an urgent need to obtain refreshed Annual successor. Just in time, we now have to find a successor to Motorola Droid MB870 X2, which is ready to hopefully stop the offensive of the competition and keep a close watch on line number from Verizon.

Assuming that it is not unusual design manufacturers for recycling combined with successive devices, which says the iPhone 3G and 3G, we find some updated equipment under the hood with the droid X2 should be noted from the pack. Priced at $ 199.99 with a 2 year contract, the price is really appropriate for high-end LTE 4G dumb, but still the charm that embodied the original? Or just stay in the dust of the smartphones with Verizon 4G LTE?

Design:

At first glance one might easily be misled to take the original droid Droid X2 X is an almost exact replica of its predecessor - however, fails completely dedicated shutter key this time. In addition to eliminating the distinction, everything else is intact with the design of the phone. Although it is too heavy, especially the hump that houses the sensor's camera phone, which is simple enough (0.39 "thick) and the pocket. It is indeed a great combination, especially if you have the small hands, just because you may have some difficulties trying to cover the handset giant screen with your thumb.

Regardless of whether it is a solidly built, and takes about high-quality materials and structures - even if you feel a bit 'heavier (5.47 ounces). In particular, its exterior metal is completely engulfed with a soft matte finish, which makes it look clean at all times, and repel dirt and debris attached to it. As we like the design, we have not been filled at the same time, impressed by the response we have experienced with the original.

LG Revolution

LG Revolution

Introduction:

Complete the trifecta of 4G LTE first smartphones that we come back at CES earlier this year, LG's presence is widely known to be more in line with Verizon, now that the revolution is finally here LG VS910. Needless to say, the next-generation 4G LTE connectivity is truly revolutionary, but considering it was after the Samsung and HTC Droid by Ray, is literally going to be things that are needed to keep water fresh in the package - and more importantly, attract the attention of jaded consumers. Time is obviously crucial to success in this market is already hot, and taking into account the nature of the release of back-to-back Big Red 4G LTE smartphones, the LG Revolution might have some difficulties on its way in that can be perceived as an already saturated market.

Design:

LG Revolution Looking for the first time, does not deviate much from the design philosophy that we have seen so far with smartphones Verizon LTE 4G - a sense that they are very large and bulky, and certainly modern. Visually, there is nothing really new to brag about your design, especially in what is simple in its construction of plastic, hard lines and soft touch matte cover. Naturally, it is relatively clean looking, mostly, but not sufficient exposure of the solid build quality of a beam - but it's a little ahead of the burden of Droid. Honestly, the LG Revolution does not come out as a memorable combination of research.

HTC Trophy

HTC Trophy

Introduction:

Last of the great national players coming into the game with Windows 7 Phone, Verizon Wireless can now offer their customers a new experience in Microsoft platform with HTC Trophy. Although it is essentially a model six-month-old at the time, its about $ 149.99 contract price is just slightly below the usual place, we find most smartphones high caliber today, but it is also a world phone so good. Because it is combined Verizon launch WP7 that allow us to see if it can attract customers!

Design:

A little 'bummer, nothing special about the HTC Trophy for its design is the exact facsimile of the European version we checked - even though it sports a red interior theme. It 'clear, not much to think about the attractive industrial design that we associate with the HTC stable.

HTC HD7S

HTC HD7S

Introduction:

More than six months since Microsoft introduced its new mobile platform of the stage, we have not seen anything new in terms of equipment for AT & T Windows Mobile 7 range, but customers can now choose to pick up HTC HD7S for the price of gold $ 200 on contract. Aside from his choice to use an LCD screen Super instead, there is absolutely nothing that separates it from the original version. Yet some will be attracted to the prestigious line that later.

Design:

Apply the same Slender and strong industrial design research of the original model, there is much to love about it, but the only thing different with its aesthetic accents are yellow / gold around the area of ​​the camera.

HTC Sensation 4G

HTC Sensation 4G

Introduction:

The era of dual-core handset is growing, especially now more than ever to see a lot of units came out to strut their stuff, but they offer will only continue its momentum at the moment. Call the reserved or relaxed, but HTC is officially in the game in the U.S. market, where smartphones such as Motorola ATRIX 4G and T-Mobile G2X has stood on top of the ladder. Unexplained appears almost out of nowhere, feeling ready HTC already abroad, because it highlights the qualities of strength, ingenuity and innovation, set up by the Taiwanese company.

Fortunately, however, feel 4G HTC aims to achieve in the United States through T-Mobile as of June 15, where it plans to open the way for the next generation of HTC devices this year with an initial burst. Of course, there is much to like about this stunning phone, even when offered something like a 1.2GHz dual-core processor from Qualcomm, 4.3 "LCD screen QHD super, video capture at 1080p and the latest version of meaning that run on the top of Android 2.3 Gingerbread, but very well executed in all respects to be in dispute between the competing offers out there? More importantly, it will be able to differentiate itself enough to establish the fate an unprecedented chapter for the venerable company ? Let's open the right to know!

Design:

Premium. This would be our choice of the word sums up the project 4G Sensation by HTC. Since the display through the beveled glass, aluminum frame, the word is metaphorically lathered all over this phone. Although the Samsung Galaxy S II scored across the board, we reviewed, with the exception of its design uninspiring, the outset, we are struck with the appearance 4G HTC Sensation.

Pantech Crossover

Pantech Crossover

Introduction:

Well known for its wide range of mobile functionality, Pantech is one of those companies that just keeps pumping an excessive amount of phones in the year, but apparently took place outside to take the leap into smartphone. Well, times are changing course, and the buzz on smartphones sales exceeded only is inevitable for them to finally give in. In this spirit, which are received at the crossroads affordable Pantech - a device to the ideal cross. Despite its power first Android phone will be interesting to see how to make the jump.

Design:

At first glance, seem Crossover Pantech across as a sort of rugged style smartphone - due to its bulky (0.56 "thick) and looks like hard plastic exterior, but it offers some notable differences with its square cut corners Despite its plastic. construction, there is still a significant amount of weight (5.15 ounces) with it. Ultimately, it's not the prettiest thing out there, but it still bears a certain resemblance to some previous efforts Pantech phones with their films.

T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide

T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide

Introduction:

Rejoice! The change of T-Mobile myTouch 4G coming! Well, we can rejoice to see any Android smartphone HTC brand stands in the department of shooting, when other high-caliber HTC devices have failed in the past. Undoubtedly, we are a seemingly happy, because the camera is touted as possibly one of the best out there, which is interesting because the imaging is not obvious that you expect a QWERTY keyboard base. However, the slide T-Mobile myTouch 4G is not in any way, because it contains a hefty bit of hardware under the hood to give their rivals a good run for their money. Sporting all also sentimental gold prices of $ 200 per contract, the feeling 4G published recently in the range of HTC T-Mobile might have something to fear.

Design:

On the surface keeps the design footprint combined this recognizable been among the family line and essentially myTouch like a exact replica of 4G myTouch, as we can say with the grid of the listener looking decorated and location of buttons physically below the screen. Compared to its predecessor, and we know she feels incredibly polite with his more rugged construction, exterior plastic more durable and less bulky appearance (0.54 "thick). Yet it packs a lot of weight in your hand, but only contributes to its refined prospects in all, it is probably a better product than its predecessor, but does not come out as something more attractive in design compared to some other QWERTY Smartphone T-Mobile as -. G2 or third Droid

Pantech Pursuit II

Pantech Pursuit II

Introduction:

These touch screens and QWERTY keyboards days have made their way into all segments of the phone, and Pantech helped bring mid-level with tracking devices last year. This summer, they followed with Pursuit II, making some important changes, but remains largely the same. Key features include a 2.8 "QVGA touchscreen, QWERTY keyboard, 2.0 megapixel camera and Bluetooth. Included with Pantech Pursuit II you need a microUSB cable and AC adapter.

Design:

When closed Pantech Pursuit II looks pretty similar to the original Pursuit, while maintaining the oblong shape and a good size screen. Display 2.8 "262k color touch screen features and has a lot of bright and lively, but can not withstand very well in direct sunlight. Pantech Pursuit II has been a change of resistive and capacitive, which helps a lot responsiveness. Pursuit II a bit 'longer than the original, but the dimensions remain the same.

Jabra CRUISER2

Jabra CRUISER2

Introduction:

Be on the phone while driving can be as bad as getting drunk in the street, and although there are many solutions that help us to communicate simultaneously with and to drive safely, it seems unpleasant accidents, not just a thing of the past, once more. Could it be that these solutions do not work or are not designed around the user, so that consumers can not find them really useful? To tell you the truth, we have serious doubts. However, we wanted to look at supply, speaker, Bluetooth - Jabra CRUISER2 - and see how it behaves. As one of the last aircraft of this type, let's see if he does well because it allows us to use our hands to drive.

Design:

The Jabra CRUISER2 not spectacular in appearance. It is very simple, all black, and incorporates a holistic approach. We assume that fit most vehicles with a conservative standard appearance.

Build quality is not great - the camera is obviously plastic and cheaply made. Of course, you will not get the feeling that you want just by looking. If you do not feel an acute need for such a hands-free mode, you will almost never think CRUISER2.

Toshiba Thrive

Toshiba Thrive

Introduction:

To date, most tablets Honeycomb Android flavor, we checked all made the same way with their experience platform, but as we have seen, some are able to differentiate themselves by offering a unique type of functionality. In fact, we saw things like 3D video, the return of the pen, and add attachments on the keyboard - all of which are seen as complementary, but not entirely practical. Well, Toshiba Prosperous not trying to appeal to consumers with a kind of gimmick, but it goes back to the root of things, hoping to strengthen the basic functionality of tablets. Seeing that this is their first foray into the tablet Android on the market, it is interesting to see if it actually comes to be "the first pill to get there."

Design:

Scary to say that Toshiba prosper is hands down the most bulky tablet Honeycomb we have raised to date weighs 25.57 ounces and sizing up evenly all around the 0.62 "thick. In addition, while so many other pills, trying to keep a slim figure, it is quite confusing to find the Thrive makes complete opposite with its dull and boring overall. Of course, the only difference he can call his own provides non-back covers, available in a myriad of colors - and thus adding just a subtle touch of personality of its appearance.

Cobra Radar

Cobra iRadar

Introduction:

For many years, we have not seen a radical change in technology radar detector, but Cobra is the intention to move things with his detector Iradar its name. Of course, radar detectors are mainly seen as isolated entities that provide useful warnings when different detection systems are located. But Cobra is not your average Iradar average supply route - it is rather described as the world's most advanced, intelligent detection system available today. Price $ 129.99 on average by a number of dealers, that smartphones can partner to make you ditch your old and faithful radar detector? Take a look shall we? Included with the box, car charger and suction attachment windshield.

Design:

Does not differ substantially in the form of other radar detectors out there, take iRadio more minimalist design that most of other entirely outside in black plastic piano. Of course, it can exude a presence in its attractive shiny appearance, but is easily dirtied because it attracts fingerprints. All in all, it is solidly built for the most part - although it is fairly light and empty.

Using the knob on the left edge of Iradar, which doubles as a volume control as well, we can turn it on when it is accompanied by an audible click to indicate that it is felt to accept the power. In addition, there is a charging port is near.

Samsung Conquer 4G

Samsung Conquer 4G

Introduction:

We all know that if you wait long enough, you can get a good price on a product that is slightly older. Probably the most iconic device of 2010 was the HTC EVO 4G - it was the first 4.3 "4G smartphone and the first device in the U.S., with one of the first 1 GHz processor , gobs of memory and a host of other delights. Fast forward a little over a year later and we have the Samsung 4G Conquer. Billed as the first 4G unit budget sheets are actually quite similar to EVO 4G in a small package and all for under $ 100 on contract. Okay, there are some cuts, such as 3.5 "320x480 screen and 3.2 megapixel camera, but you still get a (second generation) processor 1GHz Snapdragon S2 , 1 GB of memory and data WiMAX 4G. Included with Conquer 4G you get the cable with microUSB adapter and a 2 GB microSD card.

Design:

When you hear the term "economy class" a high level of quality come to mind, but were pleasantly surprised when we removed the Samsung 4G Conquer. The phone is beautifully designed with great attention to detail. The battery cover is covered with small feathers and soft to the touch that has an excellent tactile feel. The shiny metal chassis is a nice contrast to the black box and the side buttons and the right mix of ports, but still easy to find by touch. Below the screen are four buttons that make Android hardware come to the cradle of the curve of your thumb. Although probably plastic, which have the appearance of glossy black aluminum housing to match the camera at the back to give the phone a sophisticated look.

RIM BlackBerry Torch 9850

RIM BlackBerry Torch 9850

Introduction:

Can you believe it's been almost three years since the original BlackBerry Storm 9530 debut? And was positioned to become an iPhone killer at the time? Crazy to believe, but yes, it was so long. A year later, RIM has been kind enough to follow up with its sequel, Storm2 9550, which has managed to bridge some of the kinks and problems with its predecessor - but still not able to compete with its competitors. Interestingly, we thought that the desire to build a smartphone RIM Touch completely off last year, when no subsequent unit has been announced, but it seems that RIM has used downtime.

Well, after almost two years of inactivity, RIM is about to unleash a third of all touch-screen form factor with the Torch BlackBerry 9850. Not messing around with any tricks, it seems that the torch in 9850 may be the real thing at last the end of RIM's losing streak to succeed in this category. Some might say the third time is the charm, right? However, it is too late to finally make some progress?

Design:

Initially, we thought that the flame is 9850 lower quality and craft in relation to two Storm smartphones. But after a good idea of ​​what we accept the new design approach that takes full touch RIM BlackBerry. For starters, it's a slimmer and more streamlined (0.45 "thick) unit, and at the same time, it is by far the lightest (4.76 oz) of all piles touch only. On top of that, we like the chrome trim sprinkle a little touch of premiums to a handset that is built mainly of shiny black plastic. Finally, it has a captivating design that is able to differentiate radically offers recent RIM.

RIM BlackBerry Bold 9930

RIM BlackBerry Bold 9930

Introduction:

When you hear the word fat attached to a smartphone, one could easily assume everything is bold, adventurous, open and fearless. Looking back on the BlackBerry 9000 Bold in the original a few years ago, there is not a joke that RIM wanted to bring something to the table remarkable promise - and since we saw the Fed's extended family with many elegant devices under his belt. Yet one has to wonder how RIM will return to the relevance original fizzled when the torch to accomplish this feat last year perennials.

This time, instead of inventing a completely new smartphone from the beginning, RIM is putting devices in the past inspired to remember. Ladies and gentlemen, without more, lead us to seek BlackBerry Bold icon 9900/9930 - the development of the upcoming BlackBerry really intends to highlight the strengths of RIM. In fact, this will be your main workhorse in the foreseeable future, since the packages of some impressive features for a BlackBerry device, while maintaining the acclaimed design we all know and love. As expected, it is attracting interest from loyal BlackBerry users, but also the entry of new users?

Design:

Very nice! That basically sums up what the best design of the BlackBerry Bold 9930. On the surface, it brings a lot of endpoints previously Bold, but RIM is able to improve it just enough to justify the huge amount of admiration. Prize is still something that reflects the view that do not skimp with high quality materials. By combining the plastic case, is handsomely complemented by the stainless steel band with a soft accent the rear window and solid as the back cover. Not surprisingly, RIM offers a mobile phone, which is built firmly grab the attention of the onlookers away. In addition, we are mesmerized by this subtle aspect of pain (0.41 "thick) and lightweight (4.59 ounces) hand-feel. Some people complain that classic look, but in all honesty, this is exactly the direction that RIM needs to take more.

Nokia X1-01

Nokia X1-01

Introduction:

X1-01 The Nokia cache of two SIM cards in its shell color happy, both active at the same time. And with a price lower than what some cost contracts per month, the X1-01 takes over the C1-00 stopped. There are several key improvements, however, dual-slot, as before, the microSD card, MP3 player and dedicated music keys.

We liked the Nokia C1-00 so it was - an ultra-simple cell phone with a couple of SIM card slots that let you make calls, either from the map. Now, the X1-01 Nokia just made the next step, adding dual standby. This means you can receive calls on both SIM cards at any time.

X1-01 seems to fit well in emerging markets, where one of the telephone to be distributed throughout the family. Take two SIM cards to facilitate the use of such habits, but there are two plans call for a carefully selected monthly phone bill can be reduced. In addition, there are five different sections to keep the phone, so most people can use it without mixing their contacts.

Design:

In front of the Nokia X1-01 is black, but you can choose between red, dark gray, Ocean Blue, Orange and white back cover. We are in Orange and the version with a bright, shiny plastic soul truly the phone.

The front looks pretty standard, but you can easily see some corners were cut when they answer the phone. The 1.8 "screen is obscured by the ring around it and the keyboard seems to be made from a single piece of flat plastic that can give some resistance to dust, but does not bode well for usability.

However, there are no obvious weaknesses in the design of the phone that are actually an important part - for a phone of this class, sustainability goes far beyond looks.

The top half of the X1-01 forward is taken by the color of the 65K TFT screen and bezel. The screen measures 1.8 inches and has 128 x 160 pixel resolution. The image quality is comparable with the first color screen phones - not very bright, muted colors and type of viewing angles at least.

Even sunlight readability, which is an area of ​​knowledge of Nokia, was a disappointment. We were actually wondering if it would have been better for the X1-01, if Nokia gave black and white LCD display, which, if nothing else would have offered better visibility in bright sunlight. We do not think the S30 user interface have lost much of that screen, or because there is no eye candy anyway.

Above the screen is not only the earpiece. No ambient light sensor, and the brightness of the screen - just what it is.

Dell Venue Pro

Dell Venue Pro

Introduction:

As we have seen with the Quantum LG, there might be some trouble trying to use Windows Mobile 7 devices for packing on the keyboard in landscape style, now. However, the Pro Venue Dell seeks to address this problem, as it has to be probably the first true titan of Windows Mobile 7, combines the space as a huge screen and a keyboard-style portrait of slides. With a fresh design certainly stands out from the current package, this could very well be the controller if you want to get your feet wet with the new platform yet.

Design:

All Windows Mobile 7, we have encountered so far, the headquarters of the Pro easily supplants all, because it takes the trophy for the Design category. Almost every part of the design of the phone radiates a sense of quality craftsmanship, which does not skimp on the change from the application and construction. Sporting some of the hard lines, which are tastefully accented in chrome side panels and rubber top and bottom, the Pro Venue Dell is basically the epitome of fascinating sector, designed for smartphones - including patterned plastic rear cover. Angled cuts can be found in the top and bottom of the well to provide some kind of character in a thin surface curved screen. However, the laptop looks a bit 'heavy in size (0.59 "thick), but its weight (6.74 ounces) is definitely on the heavier side.

Dell Venue

Dell Venue

Introduction:

Over a year ago, Android powered smartphone for Dell is codenamed "Thunder" on top of a missile attack has an engineering marvel that the essence of Dell cooked at the camp. Fast forward to this year, in early February, the venue for the final became a reality, bringing all the wonderful things we've seen the equivalent of Windows Mobile 7 Pro Dell Venue - sans the keyboard though. Paper, $ 99.99, this agreement is Froyo 2.2 Android phone looks pretty Bountiful anticipated with a high-end specifications, but it will be interesting to see how Dell's Android stack evolving beauty contest.

Design:

Just in almost every way to Windows Mobile 7 brothers, except to distinguish what is a solid candybar phone without a keyboard, Dell Sports Venue industrial design qualities of style that ultimately makes shine on all the ways imaginable. With its angular cuts, chrome sides and sturdy plastic crackled behind the cabinet is entirely pleasant feature on Dell Venue to watch and keep. Although not the thinnest (0.51 "thick) or the more compact (5.78 oz) things we have seen, it is still able to capture our attention with its refined design elements .

Dell Streak 7

Dell Streak 7

Let's be honest, the Original Dell Streak was a bit 'identity crisis. 5-inch device was not sure if it was a tablet or a smartphone in the world, and finally it was time for a user targeted niche. But his elder brother, the Streak 7, is more self-aware. This is an honest-to-goodness film for the production of all those tablet-y things - surf, read e-books, watch videos, and more. May 7 Streak Sure sounds like a larger version of the 5-inch model, but differs by more than one screen size: 7 packs a powerful 1GHz dual-core T20-Tegra processor, 1.3 megapixel front camera in front, 5 Behind-megapixel Camera, T-Mobile "4G" HSPA + connections and 16 GB of internal memory. Each tablet passes through the phase of Dell Android 2.2 UI right now, but honeycomb Dell promises to update when ready.

It seems that one of the most complete tablets, 7 inches in the market now, and only $ 200 a contract with T-Mobile ($ 450 without), is actually quite expensive. However, there are some things that will keep applicants with 7-inch tablet fork over the cash.

No matter how you cut it, Streak Streak 7 looks like a giant (the version that is 5 inches) and it is not necessarily a bad thing to consider, we always had a soft spot for them, tapered sides and fairly stiff, plastic building. Dell is obviously trying to maintain a similar design in all family members Streak, although it also provided some clues to the location and relatives Venue Pro - back cover has the same diamond pattern textured as smartphones. We like how it feels in your hand, but unlike the original Streak, the back is not the house a replaceable battery. In fact, turns out to be an incredible disappointment, given that you are about to discover the battery life later in this review.

While many of the slate-makers are turning to a 10-inch form factor, we still appreciate the portability of a 7-inch range. (Yes, so much so that some of us are dying, even 7-inch iPad.) Since the Galaxy Tab or the Archos 7, 7 Streak is much better than a hand like the iPad, or any other 10-inch tablets that we tested. He loved to be able to easily keep Streak 0.48 inches, while reading a book in bed, or by wrapping both hands around 0.9 pounds tablet, and the ability to use your thumbs to write.

Besides the three capacitive buttons (back, menu and back), microphone and a camera on the front of the tablet, with a design from Dell is very clean. A plastic latch on the right edge, which can be difficult to open, if you do not have long nails, hiding the SD slot and SIM. At the top of the device has a power button and volume rocker, and the left edge of a 3.5 mm jack for headphones. Disappointing, there is no HDMI output on the device itself, Dell will offer a distinct platform that will join PDMI port on the bottom of the unit. A quick word on port PDMI - it is the same as the original Streak, and because there is no second USB port on the tablet, you must have at hand the cable or to recharge or connect to your computer to upload files side. Moreover, our review unit did not charge via USB - you must put it into the wall via its AC adapter. Yes, it's pretty boring.

No matter how you slice, Streak 7 shows a giant vein of (5-inch model that is), and is not necessarily a bad thing considering that we always had a soft spot for those tapered sides and a relatively rigid, plastic construction. Dell apparently is trying to maintain a similar structure in all members of the family Streak, although it has also brought some tips Place Pro family and place - the back cover is the same diamond pattern structured as smartphones. Let's see how it feels in your hand, but unlike the original pipe, back at home is not a removable battery. This proves to be a bummer really amazing because what you're going to find the battery on this review.

While responsible for many head to the slate form factor of 10 inches, we still value to transfer the 7-inch black. (Yes, so some of us are even dying for an iPad 7 inches.) Galaxy as Tab or Archos 7, 7 Streak much better suited for use with one hand iPad any of 10 other - inch tablets we've tested. We loved being able comfortably to meet 0.48 inches Streak when you read a book in bed or wrap our hands around 0.9 tablet book and be able to use your thumbs to type.

Besides the three capacitive buttons (again, the menu and the house), a microphone and a camera on the front of the platform, Dell has kept the design very clean. A plastic closure on the right edge, which can be difficult to open, if you have long nails, hides the SD and SIM card slots. The top of the device has a power button and volume control, and the left edge of a 3.5mm headphone jack. Unfortunately there is no HDMI output on the device itself, Dell will offer a dock that connects independent CMS port at the bottom of the unit. A quick word on the CMS port - is the same as the original run, and there is no other tablet USB port, you should have your cable is for charging or connecting to the computer files of lateral load. In addition, our review unit does not charge via USB - you must connect to the wall via its power adapter. Yes, it's pretty boring.

O2 XDA Flame

O2 XDA Flame

The first smartphone to include dedicated graphics card, O2 XDA Flame features the NVIDIA GoForce graphics. It 'also a great 2GB of internal memory, 3.6in VGA touch screen, TV-out, and the sound SRS WOW HD. Clearly designed for true portable media player and phone in one package, the Flame packs quite a punch, but its hefty price tag is a bitter.

Features:
With a 3.6in VGA (640x480) screen and a dedicated graphics processor, it is clear that the flame is all the multimedia experience. The screen is one of the largest we've seen this type of device (which is slightly larger than 3.5 inches from the screen) and works well. We particularly enjoyed the scenery and watch videos full screen, and the nature of the crisp, clear screen is a real head Turner. We would have liked the screen a little brighter however, and their performance in direct sunlight is poor, with heavy reverb proving to be an obstacle.

The display works with the NVIDIA GoForce 5500, which improves the properties of the flame graphics on a regular smartphone. We're not sure of the specific applications that we are to take advantage of graphics cards, but should be related videos and games. However, the videos played on Windows Media Player, are of good quality, and we have no qualms about recommending this for use in portable media player. It also plays well in Word and Excel documents, because the text is detailed, fresh and smooth.

Still on the subject of multimedia, the Flame features TV-out, so you can print the screen, video projector or TV. It will only use the composite outputs, but despite this, it works well for an LCD TV. Connecting to a TV to surf the entire flame phone, including reading and sending, games and watching videos.

Perhaps a more interesting feature of the GPU and VGA is the support of the flame for USB On-The-Go (USB OTG). An adapter is included in the sales package allows you to connect to a USB device. Flash drive appears as a hard disk in Explorer in Windows Mobile 5, and as an ordinary PC, files can be copied from the phone to disk or vice versa. This is a great feature and one that has many useful, particularly when taking into account of the Flame has 2 GB of internal memory. You can connect a variety of gadgets USB OTG, including printers, hard drives, digital cameras and MP3 players.

The flame runs the familiar Windows Mobile 5 operating system, so of course the mobile versions of Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Internet Explorer, Windows Media Player 10 and Pocket MSN. 3G and Wi-Fi integrated combine to make an electronic sound, and the standard Windows Mobile messaging application supports push e-mail from a Microsoft Exchange mail server, POP3 and IMAP and standard email accounts like Hotmail , Gmail and Yahoo. Unfortunately, the flame is not HSDPA capable, but Bluetooth 2.0, infrared and USB include everyone.

Flame supports a variety of file formats, most playable via Windows Media Player. These include MP3, WMA, WAV, AMR-NB and MIDI files. Unfortunately, the support of the media failed by a 2.5 mm headphone jack instead of the standard 3.5 mm. This means that users must use an adapter before they can use their own set of headphones with the flame, but the included earphones offer reasonable sound quality. SRS WOW HD surround sound experience is average, but the speakers on the sides of the unit to do a reasonable job considering this is a portable device.

O2 is again engaged in their applications, Flame, O2 automatic configuration, self-O2, O2 Connect, O2 Media Plus, O2 SMS Plus and O2 We found the application very useful Media Plus, it's a single interface, where Users can access all your media files, such as an FM radio on the train. Keep in mind that included headphones are the antenna of this function. Also very useful is a remote control application, where you can control any infrared wireless device in your home or office, including TV, home theater system, DVD player, and much more. You can manage up to five devices, flame, and if the character display device is not listed in the manufacturers, you can program the device manually.

The flame is powered by an Intel XScale PXA 270 processor running at 520MHz, 64 MB Flash ROM and 128 MB of RAM. The processor is a very fair job, we had minimal slowdown on the taxation of normal functions, including running multiple applications. Despite massive internal memory of 2 GB, O2 has included a microSD card slot on the right side of the device, but you must purchase a card separately.

Pictures taken with the 2 megapixel camera is decent, but far from sharp or vibrant. There is a white LED strobe flash and a mirror self-portrait, night photography, but is not the best. Being a 3G phone, the flame is also a front mounted VGA camera for video calls, and can also be used for portrait photos. The camera can capture images with a resolution of 176x144 up to 1600x1200, and sports a 4x digital zoom and a timer of 10 seconds. There is also a camcorder that records in MP4 or 3GP resolutions up to 352x288, but the quality is below average.

Design:

Measuring 74mm x 126mm x 17.5mm and weighs 190g, the Flame is one of the smart phones we've reviewed, although voluminous form is understandable given the big screen and the graphics processor you have. Anyway, the flame will not appeal to everyone, and it is important to establish that it is a true multimedia-centric device. While many features of the company, it is clear that business users will not launch its BlackBerry.

Looks pretty smooth, the flame ends in a subtle matte gray plastic and black, and will not win design awards. The battery cover on the back is finished in engraved checkered design, while the controls are a little higher and comfortable to press. There are two buttons, pressing the answer / end, a start button and a programmable shortcut button below the screen. The right side has a volume control, microSD card slot and a dedicated button, wireless and dedicated record button on the left side.

Unfortunately, the battery is well below average, and despite the seemingly heavy multimedia offerings chew a lot of power, the figures are extremely disappointing. Flame is designed for just four hours of talk time and 170 hours of standby time on 3G, even though these figures do not add six hours of talk time and 200 hours standby on a regular basis in the GSM network. Despite the moderate, we had to load the Flame every night during our test period.

O2 Cocoon

O2 Cocoon

It is very unusual for a network to produce its own phone from scratch, so we were surprised when we heard about the O2 Cocoon. Designed by O2 and manufactured by Pantech, this handset offers more unusual than meets the eye.

O2 Cocoon is currently available free on a monthly contract of £ 35 or £ 160 for a contract of £ 25 per month. Otherwise, you can pay £ 300 to get the salary you will.

Join the cool car-in-white, the cocoon comes in a trendy white box with black sides and interior. It is a little thick compared to the Samsung Ultra Edition handsets, but not so large that it does not fit in your pocket. Unlike many clamshell phones, the top and bottom curves Cocoon create a profile oval.

The advantage of having rounded corners is that slips easily into a pocket in a similar way to a smooth stone. The oval case is extremely reminiscent of a 60 egg chair and gives the phone a retro look and feel.

Further back inside the cocoon, which looks dated and a bit uncomfortable - a shame considering how the exterior is elegant. However, it is very functional, if not attractive. The screen is relatively large, as is the keyboard easy to use.

Note that the screen does not seem like too much direct sunlight and it is difficult to see in very bright environments.

And 'quite a heavy zipper is useful for volume control, which can be used inside and out, and it is much easier to use than traditional up and down volume buttons. Equally useful is a dedicated music keys on the Cocoon, which allows you to play music when the clamshell is closed.

The Cocoon comes with a set of LEDs behind the front of the phone. These show the time, the details of incoming calls and text messages are seen in blue light.

This innovative feature may seem gadget, but it is really useful, especially when combined with the Cocoon docking station, making it a full-blown renaissance. A reproach, who had a minor alarm clock with snooze button is not big enough, but it is probably because they do not wake up.

If you like lots of features, so you will not be disappointed with the offer of Cocoon. Most impressive, the cocoon comes with 2 GB of onboard memory, enough to store up to 500 songs or data in mass storage mode. There is also an expandable microSD slot that allows you to add up to 2 GB of memory.

We also like the music player that supports MP3 and AAC files, among others, and displays the album art. You can configure it to play tracks in shuffle mode, and there are possibilities to adjust the equalizer and bass. Control your music can be done in the music player interface or via the dedicated music keys on the side.

O2 Xda Argon

O2 Xda Argon

O2 XDA line-up of Windows Mobile Pocket PC has been around for several years, and the operator to add new models. Finally, hit the test bench is XDA Argon, XDA III, a popular upgrade.

XDA Argon is unusually large and heavy (200 g, 129.7 mm long, 69.8 mm wide, 18.8 mm thick). It irritates, who want their gadgets to be small, but it appeals to anyone who finds reading the small screens of Windows Mobile devices a little piece because the XDA Argon is a screen that measures a massive (in terms of Windows Mobile) 3, 5 inches from corner to corner.

These people probably also like the fact that O2 has selected the SD card format choice in the relatively large small tiny miniSD and microSD are popular for PDAs and phones today. This may be a while before you need to use extra memory, however, because the Xda Argon has 256 MB of ROM and 128MB of RAM, which is generous with Pocket PC.

Bluetooth, infrared and Wi-Fi are all here, is a 2 megapixel camera, 400MHz processor and a jurisdiction is able to effectively keep the device current. Battery life is also good. We asked XDA Argon to play off a full charge and leave the screen size, and ordered the tracks with a couple of minutes to more than nine hours.

This is a good thing, but a couple of points on the Xda Argon can not impress a lot more. First, consider the operating system. Windows Mobile 5.0 is fine as far as it goes, but Windows Mobile 6 goes further, and those who want to use your Xda on a corporate network led by Microsoft Exchange Server may feel cheated by the lack Windows Mobile 6 provides the minutes of extra features .

Then there's the fact that the XDA Argon is a tri-band GSM coverage on other Windows Mobile Pocket PC to control quadband and 3G to shed some 'pasta. Finally, strangely, is a whole be taken into account. Yes, clutter great fit for some users, but others yearn for one of the many devices in the form of small, usually about one third smaller.

We can not think O2 might have tried a little harder with the Xda Argon. We are sure that some people will love, and is an update obvious to anyone who is currently using the Xda III, but if you are looking for a Windows Mobile device, which would be new tempted to go to something smaller and richer feature.

O2 has walked a fine line with the Xda Argon. Is it good enough to encourage users to upgrade Xda III, but may have trouble convincing anyone to come to Windows Mobile first choice unless they have difficulty getting to grips with the many available, small selected, more pocket friendly alternatives.

O2 XDA Orbit II

O2 XDA Orbit II

It 'been so productive in the last year or so that you can think - or maybe waiting - that HTC could possibly lose the case. A little 'as a writer of the novel after novel, we may not be easy to maintain the high quality as it has recently been published with the upper end smartphones like the TyTN II and Touch Dual, to name a few.

However, continue to develop quality products that fact, and the cruise - in the form of O2 XDA orbit 2 on the review here - is no different. At first glance, nothing special. Face-to blows O2's website shows what appears to be a bog standard phone Windows Mobile PDA. There is a large screen above which is a small 2.8-inch lens for video calls, below which is a set of familiar aspect of the control buttons. You can see the usual pick-up and hang up buttons, plus a couple of shortcut keys to activate the start menu and OK controls and sides that looks like a navigation key five-lane standard.

But this is not normal PDA phone with Windows Mobile and begin to appreciate how different it is until they meet in the flesh. I'll start with the screen, unlike most touch screens I've seen in the last year, is located behind the fascia surrounding. In fact, the screen surface is one with the rest of the front of the phone: its glossy surface extends around the edges to the button cluster. Not that hard glass screen of the HTC Touch or the iPhone, however, and has a slightly plastic feel.

The effect is that the orbit is a stylish phone and feeling - and it is helped by the fact that the rest of the phone is well designed. The button cluster is formed in a matte silver plastic and has a pleasant slightly concave, sculpted shape. The rim is wrapped in shiny chrome and the rest of the Orbit frame is made of lightweight but sturdy feeling plastic finished with a tactile, non-slip rubber coating. And it turns out that the cluster of five waterways is unusual too. This is a dual-use control: not only can you click in either direction to scroll from top to bottom, left and right, the outer ring also rotates so you can scroll through the lists in a pinch.

02 XDA Stellar

02 XDA Stellar

Based on the phone to the HTC TyTN II, O2 XDA configuration includes some pretty impressive models, and the XDA Stellar is the first, which includes a built-in GPS and QWERTY keyboard.

Satellite navigation is taken care of CoPilot Live 7 Software included in the package, while Windows Mobile 6 drives the phone.

Size 20 mm thick and weighs 190g, XDA Stellar is too great for many, but if you want a qwerty keyboard that you want to make sacrifices. Push the left screen and the keyboard is revealed. Such a small space between the keys, typing is difficult at first, and certainly with two fingers only. The tilting screen makes it perfect to sit down to watch the video.

Windows Mobile 6 can not match the iPhone interface for ease of use, but it beats hands down in terms of functionality. Mobile versions of Word, Excel and Powerpoint included with Outlook, Messenger and Windows Media Player. It may be slow to react sometimes, though.

Battery life is not very big and pretty trying circumstances it takes a little over a day. Used sparingly, you should get a few days out of it.

CoPilot Live 7 works well, but it is slower than its own satellite navigation system, especially when browsing the map enlarged. It houses most of the features you'd expect (including updates on the traffic), but also the space walk passes one-way streets, is not smart enough to be directly through the park.

If you can deal with its size, the XDA Stellar offers a lot, but do not expect that kind of long documents. Also available through Orange, T-Mobile (as the MDA Vario III) with the cost to the contract, and sim-free for around £ 450.

O2 XDA Zest

O2 XDA Zest

O2 Xda range is somewhat of a mainstay in the circles of Windows Mobile. Smartphones company brand has existed for many years, and a look at the current range is the only test that needs love HTC O2, as almost all phones in the current line up is made for them. In most cases, you can get something similar to both free and SIM card from other operators.

But the new XDA Zest is different. And 'the Asus and the model is unique as the O2. And perhaps even more interesting that this is the first to be available on the XDA prepayment (which will cost £ 249.99), and pays a monthly basis, which is free of some of the contracts.

It is a decidedly middle-of-the-road Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional with a few points higher real and some comments.

The overall objective, it is a squat little, because it is a little larger than we are used to 60.5mm. It is 102mm high and 16.5mm thick, slightly chubby, and weighs very little chance to 120g. This corresponds to an even slightly less comfortable in the hand than we're used to, but we do not want to overstate this point and it is certainly not a deal-breaker.

The case is fairly predictable in appearance. The plastic housing is mostly black with touches of silver, including the D-pad on the front. The call, end, Start menu and OK buttons are a bit small, but perfectly integrated into the overall look.

We want a lot of that is a hold button on the right side. Push this and the screen goes blank and locks the touch screen and all buttons. Windows Mobile has a locking feature, but this is a software to run and is only available in the main screen - and only if you choose to display there. This option is most useful as it may, at any time.

Here comes the niggle. Has 256 ROM and 128MB RAM. These numbers are standard rates and not to complain. You can add more memory, a microSD card - again as standard. But the slot under the battery, which means that you must turn off the XDA Zest for it. Honestly, these days, we expect that the memory location to be easier than we can to Hotswap cards easily.

It is a GPS antenna and you get a three-month trial that the CoPilot navigation software. We are more used to seeing this comes for free for good, and fork out for that then can be painful for you. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are built in. The Xda Zest is an HSDPA and has a front camera for video calls in front of two ways.

A highlight of the Xda Zest is its screen. This measure a generous 2.8 inches with a resolution of 640x480 pixels. Screens with this resolution are much clearer and sharper than 320x240 pixels, and really thought it was a bargain.

Since then, the tendency is to hide the outdated Windows Mobile interface, the O2 is an option to clean up its board. Since the standard Windows Mobile Today screen, you can choose from the drop menu labeled 'soft' O2 ', and then you can use the three screens, or by touching the icons at the bottom of the screen or a finger is swept horizontally.

Menu photocontacts 4x4 grid, 3x3 grid applications, shortcuts, tools and options, and the main screen, which displays the current time, weather and information about messages, emails, missed calls, and so on. There is nothing revolutionary about the system, but it is a graphic design which appeals to the finger and sweep and clean.

E 'on the back of the case and this shot in 3-megapixel stills. Again, this is nothing revolutionary, but mounted on the right side of the button makes it very easy to use as they do all the icons on the screen of choice tappable image resolution, zoom, change the macro mode and selecting the timer mode shot.

Another major criticism is that there is no dedicated headset. Helmets must use a mini-USB connector that is shared by the mains cable and PC. This is far from ideal, and for us it's a bit a deal breaker because it means we need an adapter to use our favorite headphone.

We are pleased to offer O2 Xda on Pay & Go and the monthly salary, and we love the high resolution screen, an interface fingerprint and HSDPA. But we have some small problems as well. There are many mid-range competition out there to check before taking the plunge.

O2 XDA Guide

O2 XDA Guide

O2 wants to try and cover virtually every niche of its XDA line-up for smartphones and so it is added to the Temp XDA guide for those who want a phone that can also be as a navigation system or the car or when I'm around on foot.

It is no secret that O2 does not actually produce their smartphones, but it relies on outside companies, such as HTC and Asus to build real hardware before adding its own brand. The eagle-eyed of you may have noticed the photo of the guide XDA is actually the rebranded version of the HTC Touch Cruise O2 logo imprinted on the buttons below the screen and the XDA Insignia engraved on the base icon at the top. This package is more than a simple guide phone is also navigation ready, but we'll talk later.

This handset may have been on the market for a while in its previous form as the Touch Cruise, but it's still quite an attractive phone. The resistive touch screen is mounted flush with the rest of the case giving the lines nice and clean and dark graphite on the back and edges look appropriate professional. Add chrome effect buttons below the screen and you have yourself a sophisticated and elegant phone.

A major innovation of the Guide is mechanical scroll wheel that is embedded in the circular D-pad that is located below the screen. This is used to move through the list of items in menus and also to zoom in and out on pictures, maps or Web pages. It works a treat, especially in the web browser and is probably the next best thing to the iPhone multi-touch pinch to zoom.

The guide uses a 528MHz Qualcomm MSM 7225 processor, along with 256 MB of RAM, although this is not the fastest around smartphones that is not exactly slow either, and certainly have not experienced problems with performance, even with several background applications. The phone has 512 MB ROM, or to store applications and files, but O2 also includes a 1 GB microSD card (card slot is located under the battery cover) of meat is still available storage space, which is useful as CoPilot Live 7 navigation software and maps related obviously take up some space. Naturally, the device has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and you also get HSDPA for browsing on the move through the list, the Opera web browser pre-loaded.

iPad 2 Verizon

iPad 2 Verizon

Introduction:

Nobody has been able to match the industrial design of the IPAD or an intuitive interface. No shelf approaches including the number of applications available for the iPad. ITunes does not offer one-stop music, videos and books. Will Apple do not even need a sequel? Actually, yes. Now that Android 3.0 tablets per order on the shelves and the BlackBerry playbook touchpad and HP are preparing for battle, the war is finally compressed to heat. So here's the iPad 2, which is not only thinner and lighter than its predecessor, but also adds a dual-core processor and dual camera. Apple is far ahead of the competition? Our review reveals a whole.

Design:

IPAD 2, the MacBook Air tablets. Weighs 1.34 pounds and measures 0.34 inches thick, 2 IPAD is 33 percent thinner and 15 percent lighter than the iPad. It is also much lighter than the Motorola Xoom (1.6 pounds). You really have to keep two iPad in your hands to appreciate the difference. With its sturdy aluminum back, the tablet feel just as strongly as before, and there is a little less of it, like the iPad 2 easier to hold during long gaming sessions or reading. The smooth, rounded lines as iPad 2 feels more natural in your hands. Plus, you now have two color options for the front: white or black.

Despite Apple's iPad 2 includes severe eating all the same ports, buttons and switches. Because the shale is thin volume buttons, and the Sleep / Wake button sits on the sloping edges, but we found them easy to access. Although the power was a tight fit, we broke into a day. Due to its slim design, we found typing on the iPad 2 to less pressure on your thumbs as the original, especially in portrait mode, but it's even easier to enter text on the narrow Xoom .

The biggest additions are the design on the front of the cameras above the display (VGA) and rear (720) under the Sleep / Wake. Apple also moved the speaker of the lower back IPAD.

The bad news is that Apple has not increased the resolution on the platform. The iPad two sticks with the same 9.7-inch 1024 x 768 pixels. In comparison, the Motorola Xoom panel sports a 10.1-inch 1280 x 800 pixels. However, we prefer the screen IPAD two because it is wider viewing angles (IPS through technology) and a little more resistant to fingerprints jobs (through oleophobic).

While Apple has done more mesh iPad 2, it is still a mono speaker. We have not noticed a difference in the volume or clarity when we blew up the bravery of "Time does not Let Me Go" about two seconds and iPad iPad This tablet has a lot of punch audio, stereo speakers but Xoom are most impressive.

Sony Ericsson W8 Walkman

Sony Ericsson W8 Walkman

Introduction:

The Walkman revolutionized the way people listen to music when it was released in the late 70's. For the first time, people could enjoy your favorite music on your portable device thanks to a battery-powered. Walkman Personal Stereos now that are far beyond his time, the brand lives only in the form of digital media players and cell aging line built by Sony Ericsson.

Sony Ericsson W8 is an attempt to revive the brand Walkman, and import it into a modern smartphone running Android - is a bit 'old Éclair version 2.1, to be exact. Built using the model Xperia X8, W8 offers excellent sound quality, while the low-cost entry-level Android device at the same time. At a glance, the receiver catches the attention of the rear panel of the colorful interface and easy to use, but leaves a good impression in our minds when we finished playing with it? Let's take a closer look and discover for yourself.

Design:

Sony Ericsson Xperia W8 basically looks like a different color for the Xperia X8 with a Walkman logo on the beat, and we use it the more it becomes obvious. We have the same three-inch scratch-resistant capacitive touch screen with a resolution of 320x480 pixels and almost identical body thick and crumbly with a slight curve on the back. Although TFT LCD screen will display a range of 16 million colors, there is a significant amount of procrastination when you see color gradations. Besides this, the screen, and color temperature looks very yellow to the hot side. Another drawback of the screen is that if it was cut for a while, it flashes for a few seconds when you turn, allegedly due to a poorly designed backlight dimming techniques. However, the screen resolution is more than satisfactory for a screen this size - smooth graphics and even the smallest of the text is readable. Use outside Walkman W8 can be a little tricky if the sun shines too bright, but turn the brightness all the way up will help to some extent.

HP TouchPad

HP TouchPad

Introduction:

Feel the depth of oblivion, it seemed as if all the hard work with the Palm webOS was going nowhere fast as their mobile platform is not approved for the consumer than the competition, but luckily for them, the HP fell down and saved as a premature death. Reinvigorate and sustain cash flow almost insurmountable, the HP is now looking for a shot and taking webOS to the next level, that only Palm dreamed a dream. In fact, it was only in February, when the world was introduced to the devices webOS next level - one of them is nothing but the touchpad HP.

Nearly five months have passed, and the world is finally getting his first taste of the tablet in TouchPad webOS 3.0 HP - but more importantly, some are curious about how it is facing some of the Titans on the market. Fortunately, it sports the price level oh so nice for the $ 500 16GB Wi-Fi base only model, and I know it's packaging specifications as impressive under the hood, it may emerge as a competitor. But knowing that the bar has been raised in terms of what consumers expect of tablets, it will need to distinguish themselves from head to toe to get a piece of cake for dessert.

Design:

Let's be honest here, but the first thing that comes to mind when looking at the touchpad is now reminiscent of a large 3G/3GS iPhone - due mainly to its black plastic exterior and the placement of buttons. Instead of a flashy sports kind of industrial design, see the TouchPad is conventional in appearance fierce and not try to impress. Instead, it builds from the piano black glossy plastic, which seems wrong polishing the box, but attracts fingerprints and footprints terribly unlike any other. At the same time, is bigger (0.54 "thick) and surprisingly heavy (10.26 oz) and some of its rivals - although it makes us wonder, because it sounds hollow after a quick tap on the back. However, it will not win a prize in the design department, but nice touch with the curved back - while it feels solidly built, mostly.

Motorola DROID 3

Motorola DROID 3

Introduction:

Regarded as the flagship home starts for Android, Motorola Droid Series Original renounced his throne as the editorial platform growing - especially when Droid 2 did not have the dramatic impact compared to its predecessor . Since the initial arrival, we saw an unprecedented amount of high caliber Android smartphones descend from the clouds to approach and take evidence on the sea of ​​rivals. However, you know that the popular online Droid is known for its barebones approach of not messing around, in order to maintain public attention on its own.

It 'true, to say the least! Especially when consumers connect to the Android-powered smart phones as mobile Droid - but, of course, the purists and fans will know the difference. Of course, it is a mindset that reflects the original family of Droid, and now that we are seeing the third installment of the series, is almost unbelievable to see him slip through the cracks. Always praise hardware provided annual updates, we also see greater representation of the design Droid 3 - and rightly so, that aims to make things bigger level. Although competition is the likes of 4G Mobile smartphones is interesting to see if this third embodiment can ignite the fire that makes the original explosion.

Design:

Undoubtedly, the first thing the council is part of the mix significantly higher compared with its predecessors, which is due to the larger screen is the package together. Longer and wider in the way, your phone actually paid a bit thick (0.5 ") to be a bit more modern - but who will carry out prominently in his pocket.

Even if it maintains the previous one of the fundamental structural characteristics, such as the familiar design industry, sports some of the heavier lines and hard edges sharper. At the same time, the gun-like shell of hard plastic, combined with its soft touch back, which allows the phone to hear a lot more stable. In fact, it is heavier (6.49 ounces), this time, but it helps to maintain a balanced picture. It is not hidden droid hardware from a distance, we have to dig its advanced design.

LG Cosmos 2

LG Cosmos 2

Introduction:

With so much attention, the makers of smart phones and wireless service providers, you'd think they were the only devices available for purchase. Fortunately, this is not true, because it is still easy to use entry-level phones out there, and some have a full QWERTY keyboard for messaging, such as the Cosmos two new LG Verizon Wireless.

Included in the sales package is the Cosmos 2 VN251 LG phone 900 mAh battery, wall charger with micro USB detachable cable, and a user guide.

Design:

The LG Cosmos 2 is an updated version of the original LG Cosmos, which was released last year, even though both are the same size and weight, and fits easily in your hand. But Cosmos 2 replace the battery door to the shoe that is structured so that a better grip while holding the phone.

Motorola PHOTON 4G

Motorola PHOTON 4G

Introduction:

Not too long ago, Motorola was on the brink of viability, but got a little robot green and fortunes of the company have changed dramatically. Sprint's situation is not so dark, but he hopes that their renewed partnership with Motorola to help reverse the nation's number three carrier. They're kicking down things with a bang with Motorola Photon 4G phones bestial sound with a sheet. Some of the highlights include a 4.3 "screen QHD, 1 GHz dual core processor Nvidia Tegra 2, 8-megapixel with video capture 720p and a crutch. The photon is a phone with support for worldwide WiMAX 4G Sprint. Included Accessories are light: you simply get a microUSB cable and AC adapter.

Design:

To be honest, Photon 4G takes much of its design cues from the RAZR V9m. Dark bronze housing around the 4.3 "display with a soft touch door RAZR Battery 4G Photon love. As one of the most beautiful phones ever return is not a bad source of inspiration. 4G is definitely Photon your own phone though. It is important that an apology, but very well built and pleasant to use.

Once upon a time, Screen 4.3 "would turn heads, but these days has become passe. Fortunately, Photon 4G QHD screen to draw your attention to be a brilliant vivid, bright and sharp. And 'corner the medium of vision, and we had a lot of things to use direct light.
