Verizon scores a big one with the release of the Samsung SCH-i760. Announced last 2006, the i760 is a Pocket PC phone with a number pad and a built-in QWERTY keyboard. It operates on the Windows Mobile 6 operating system which includes the Office 2007. This is in contradiction to earlier reports that the i760 will run under the Smartphone version of the Windows operating system. It also does not include the Windows Live integration that other units of its class offer and will be missed by those who are used to having their services.

Another great source of frustration probably has to do something with either the display hardware or drivers as some programs are unable to display videos in landscape mode, which should have been one of the great features of Read more »

As of late, Motorola has been known to constantly develop mobile phones for the high end market. A lot of what we have witnessed from Motorola in fact is targeted towards the upper and business type class of people that it is easy for us to dismiss Motorola as a high end phone developer only. But once you get past all these assumptions, one will realize that Motorola also developed some of the world's better looking entry level mobile phones that are not only very affordable but is also crammed with as many features as the budget for this bracket might permit.

These "cheap" handsets from Motorola combine basic features and stylishness that give the mobile phone a very expensive and no nonsense look. The Motorola W490 is no exception from this category as it is very Read more »

Sony Ericsson W850 A lot of us may already be familiar with the Sony Ericsson W850 when it was used in the movie "Da Vinci Code" for its web browsing capabilities. That was before the phone was released and created quite a stir for those who love cell phones and was surprised to see an “unknown” model in a movie. That being said, the W850 does borrow a lot of its appearance from the Sony Ericsson W800.

The W850 has since been released and comes in two choices: matt black and pearl white. And may very well be a worthy option for consumers looking for multi-functional handsets.

The 6275 is a sleek mid-range candy bar type handset from Finnish mobile phone company Nokia. It is one of several Nokia units in its class released during the last quarter of 2006. But with its incredible looking screen, the 6275 definitely stood out from its pack. While being light and relatively small it certainly packs a lot in terms or features.

For one the 6275 is a tri-mode CDMA handset and has an integrated 2.0 mega pixel camera, far better than the 6630's 1.3 mega pixel shutter which was housed in a much bigger phone. The screen display emits a very clear and bright 262 thousand color, VGA display. With this resolution and the powerful camera inside this candy bar, the tendency to shoot pictures at the highest possible resolution is most likely hence the inclusion Read more »

The LG VX8000 is the first outing by Verizon Wireless to feature full EV-DO (Evolution-Data Optimized) support. Already an ample mobile phone in its own right, it is all the more made better as it utilizes Verizon's promises of speed starting at 300 kbps and up to as much as 500 kbps. This is mobile networking at its best. But the real advantage of the VX8000 over its competitors is the ability to access Video On Demand, which has various programs such as news, sports, and entertainment available as a streaming video through Verizon's V Cast service.

In addition to the VX8000's many features, the phone is also able to store up to 500 contacts and store up to two email addresses and five telephone numbers. You can also assign a picture for each contact as a means of caller ID that will display on the VX8000's screen every time a call is received. The handset also has three way calling, a calendar, speakerphone, vibrating Read more »

Announced last December 2005 and available for quite some time now, the Motorola A1200 Ming, also known by its nick name as the Motorola Ming is a Linux based smart phone from Motorola. It utilizes the flip design albeit with a transparent cover giving it a very sleek and futuristic edge. Targeted for the business type consumer, it also features a very useful business card reader.

Contrary to the transparent, plastic flip cover though, the Motorola Ming feels rather sturdy and comfortable in the hand. It is a very mobile gadget considering its applications, weighing in at only 122 g and measuring 95.7 x 51.7 x 21.5 mm (height, width and thickness respectively). Compared to other mobile phones it may be quite hefty but keep in mind that Read more »

There was a time when the Sony Ericsson K800 was the camera phone on everybody's wish list. With its three mega pixel camera and a host of other features, the K800 was the handset to beat and top for many. But with the advent of five mega pixel cameras like Nokia's N95, which proved to be a very popular model amongst the cell phone and gadget aficionados alike, and the competition for the high end consumer market getting stiffer, Sony Ericsson decided to go with the flow and released the Sony Ericsson K850.

It is replacing the popular line of Cyber-shots it seems, and it is apparent though that the K850 took from the Cyber-shot when it comes to its form and Read more »

The successor of the popular LG F9200 finally arrives in the form of the "Rumor". As a general description, you may think of the Rumor as a QWERTY keyboard mobile phone without the smart phone intricacy. With that in mind though, the Rumor is not without its own set of advanced and attractive features. Like said, it has a QWERTY keyboard that the user can slide out from under the phone, making it very viable as a text messaging little device. It has a camera for your picture taking needs (more on this later), a music player and Bluetooth support among others.

With all that functionality in a mobile phone, it surprising to note that the LG Rumor is easy to use and navigating through its menus is a breeze. And quite obviously, the QWERTY keyboard makes Read more »

In fact, this handset is filled to the brim with functions one would wonder at the technology Samsung had to employ to make this possible.

The basic functions are of course present such as a Read more »
