The device essentially has one big button on the front with four LED lights indicating its status. The big button lets you pair it with your phone along with answering calls, redialing, and activating voice dialing. Most of the time you need only to click that button once, though holding it for longer activates different features. The sides of the device have both volume up and down buttons and a button to activate the FM transmitter. Both were pretty easy to press while driving. The FM transmitter announces the frequency it is on when you turn it on so that you can tell what to tune your radio to. RIM was smart to include an auto-scan feature which will search for the clearest channel. You can also listen to music stored on your BlackBerry, or play music from satellite radio applications like Pandora through your car’s speakers.
Moreover, the device sports a MicroUSB charger so you can use it with the same RIM charger that you have already. The device only comes with a car charger so you may end up having to remove it from your visor to charge it. However, battery life is very impressive: it can run for more than 12 hours straight, transmitting music from your BlackBerry.
This gadget also works with other non-BlackBerry devices with Bluetooth, though Stereo Bluetooth is required if you want to listen to music stored on your device.

The device supports 9 different languages for the voice prompts. So far they have US English, UK English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Mexican Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, & Chinese. You can simply change the language by putting it into pairing mode and holding the FM button until you hear the current language. After that you just hit the volume up or down button to select the language.
All in all, the phone looks great and works quite well, but it isn’t cheap. At $99.99 on ShopBlackBerry.com. It’s expensive, if you think that comparable products cost less and have almost all the same features as RIM’s version (Jabra’s popular SP700 Bluetooth Car Speakerphone costs $20 less at $79.99 in the CrackBerry shop).

This phone has the biggest and best of everything. And it certainly is big. It’s not fair to call it a brick, as it’s rather slim - just 12.9mm - but it’s about the same size and weight as the iPhone 3G. But as millions of iPhone owners have proved, that’s not a problem, and in fact the i8910 HD is narrower than the iPhone and hence fits in the palm rather better. The phone’s front face is filled with the enormous screen, plus three conventional buttons below (call, end and home.)

The screen is simply to die for. OLED is a new technology that offers greater colour definition and more brightness than a conventional TFT screen. This makes a real difference when using the phone outdoors, especially when the user interface is touchscreen-driven. The screen on the i8910 HD is the biggest OLED screen ever to appear on a mobile and has a very high resolution too (640 x 360 pixels, 3.7 inches diagonal.)
But Samsung have played safe by using a tried and tested user interface - the TouchWiz UI will be familiar to users of previous Samsung phones such as the Omnia. TouchWiz uses intuitive touch controls, e.g. tap, sweep, drag and drop operations as well as an on-screen qwerty keyboard with tactile feedback. The feel of the phone in the hand is one of quality, thanks to the use of metal, glossy black plastic and hardened glass.
Making full use of being a member of the Open Symbian Foundation, Samsung once again is rocking the Symbian S60 OS, such as that seen on the previous INNOV8 / i8510. However, this one has been updated to include the 5th edition release, very similar to that seen on the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and Nokia N97.
For still photography the i8910 HD uses an 8 megapixel camera with autofocus, 4x digital zoom and LED flash. The camera is equipped with advanced functions such as face detection, smile shot, blink shot and panorama shot. The video camera is a worldbeater, in terms of resolution. It can record in HD format, which means 1280 x 720 pixels (0.9 megapixels.) At this resolution, the frame rate drops to 24 frames per second, so you might actually prefer to shoot in a lower resolution and use a higher frame rate. There’s no HDMI cable socket, but you can use the WiFi connection to send video directly to a DLNA-compatible TV or PS3/XBOX 360.

Web browsing on the i8910 is an excellent experience. The phone is very generously equipped with memory, which is just as well considering the power of the device. It’s available with either 8GB or 16GB of flash memory, with a microSD card slot that will accept cards up to a massive 32GB, giving a potential maximum memory of 48GB. There’s also plenty of internal RAM available to the operating system for playing videos, etc. The device also uses a new type of superfast chipset, and these two factors mean that the phone is fast to react, even when running applications quite intensively.
The i8910 HD also comes with a built-in GPS receiver, which can be used for geo-tagging of photos and for mapping. When used with the map application, the device also displays a digital compass.
Quickoffice (word processing, spreadsheets and presentations) is also on board, which should come in handy for viewing documents on the move. While it’s no laptop, the big screen certainly makes document activity a bit less of an eye strainer. There’s also an Adobe PDF reader, a dictionary, calendar, conversion tool, and note pad, as well as a compass and the usual suspects such as a calculator, FM radio and 3D games.

One final innovation: support for the new HSUPA technology. HSUPA is a relative of HSDPA and enables fast uploads - 10 or more times faster than 3G - in addition to fast downloads.
The battery life of this phone is quoted as a ludicrously high 600 hours on standby. Whilst the 1500mAH battery is definitely a powerful one, no normal user is going to get anything like 600 hours use out of one charge.

The Sony Ericsson S302 is a slim and compact solid bar designed handset which is only 11mm in depth and thus allowing the user to slip the handset in his pocket with ease.
The phone sports a 2-inch 176×220 pixel resolution display that is fairly standard on budget phones. It delivers 262k colors and things are easy to read even in direct sunlight, but colors are not saturated enough and images look rather worn out, even in artificial light.
Though the Sony Ericsson S302 is mainly a camera phone, but Sony Ericsson only loaded this with a 2 mega pixel sensor. Besides, in order to make the Sony Ericsson S302 more affordable, Sony took away the high end features found on the Sony Ericsson C905 such as face detection and image stabilization but the S302 has the photo fix and photo light functions. Those who’re looking for something much more than 2 megapixels, you should try taking a look at the Sony Ericsson K850i or the Sony Ericsson K770i. However, the Sony Ericsson S302 supports picture blogging which allows you to take a snap and instantly send the picture to a blog site for others to view. The two megapixel camera can also record video clips which allows you to enjoy capturing moving footage as well as still photo images.

The S302 has 20MB internal memory expandable with a memory stick micro. You can extend their phones memory to suit your storage requirements as the S302 supports Micro™ M2™ memory cards which are easily fitted into the memory slot provided.
The handset works on a quad band network which covers GSM networks 850, 900, 1800 and 1900. You can enjoy worldwide roaming but the network connectivity is fully dependant on the network service provider. The Sony Ericsson S302 comes with a rechargeable battery complete with power adapter and when fully charged the handset will provide you with up to three hundred hours of standby battery time or approximately seven hours of GSM talk time. You can enjoy high speed data transfer rates as the S302 supports GPRS & EDGE technology. You can transfer files to and from your mobile phone using either a Bluetooth® wireless connection or a cabled USB connection between the Sony Ericsson S302 and another compatible devices such as your PC, laptop or printer. A WAP Web browser allows you to access the Web for online stores and online services which provides a mobile Web experience for all of you to enjoy.
Furthermore, the phone comes with an emails service and supports both text messaging and a multimedia picture messaging service which allows you to communicate just the way you want to. A built in media player allows you to enjoy music on the move complete with easy to use and useful music features. A Mega Bass™ music feature allows you to experience high quality bass sound from their mobile phone when playing your favorite music. A PlayNow™ feature allows you to download new ringing tines quickly in only three clicks of a button.
The Sony Ericsson S302 supports MP3, ACC & polyphonic ringing tones. A TrackID™ music recognition feature allows you to find out the name of a song, name of the artist and the name of the album the song are from by recording a few seconds worth of the song & the TrackID™ will find out all the information within seconds.

As you might imagine, these new Doro phones aren’t going to be challenging Nokia or Sony Ericsson in terms of their feature sets, but they do all include an FM radio and integrated torch. Perhaps more interesting, considering the intended demographic, is that all of them feature upgraded compatibility with hearing aids.
This doesn’t mean they come with Vera Lynn ringtones and a holder for knitting needles, but rather that the buttons are larger than usual and the high-contrast colour schemes are designed for maximum visibility. Doro’s new handsets support Bluetooth and come with high volume and a necklace cord, so it can stay with its user anytime, anywhere.
Doro still stresses that the range is intended to populated with ‘good looking’ phones, and the choice between candy bar and clamshell designs, thanks to the flip-phone 410gsm which will be available in June, does show a certain consideration for aesthetics.

The Doro PhoneEasy 338 follows on from the success of the Doro Handle Easy 328 and has been improved to make it even easier to use. It has a white on black screen with large text and fonts, ideal for people with limited dexterity; the Doro phone easy has 3 big preset buttons A B C which can be programmed to call three numbers.
The Doro PhoneEasy 342 gsm follows on from the success of the Doro Handle Easy 330gsm and has been improved to make it even easier to use.
It has a full colour large bright clear screen with large text and fonts, ideal for visually impaired, the Doro phone easy 342 has direct access to the menu from the large central rubber button, the Doro Phone Easy 342 has an emergency alarm button on the rear. The 345gsm comes with a 300 memory phone book and can send and receive SMS text messages.
These new phones are available online from Parkway Telecom and RNIB, or from select high street shops, and are priced between £100 and £130 SIM free. The upcoming clamshell 410gsm and Handleplus 334gsm, which is designed for those with more severe care needs, will be out in June.

That could be good or bad news depending on just how strongly you feel about the G1’s unforgettable cosmetics. The trackball is certainly gone, so unless there’s some wild touch-sensitive area below the screen, it seems like the touchscreen might be the only way to navigate.
However, it has been officially announced that the Hero will be picked up by Orange. Orange France has already released the G1 as the HTC Dream (they couldn’t use the G1 branding as T-Mobile has exclusive rights to that) and now, according to Mobinaute, they will be following that up with the HTC Hero Android. Orange is definitely on a mission here and is keen to capitalise on what they see as the revenue potential of the Android Market.
Even more interesting, although this could be speculation, is that by the end of this year, Orange, in addition to HTC, plans to have Android phones from Motorola, LG, Samsung and Sony Ericsson. That last one especially comes as a welcome surprise as Sony Ericsson, although a member of the Open Handset Alliance, seems to have been very quiet on the Android front this year. So, as you can see the competition will be very tight for HTC Hero Android. How this phone ultimately stacks up against its rivals when it hits the market later this year remains to be seen.

The handset is more similar in design to the HTC Magic, rather than the T-Mobile G1, in that it features a candy bar-style form factor and doesn’t include a physical keyboard. The Samsung I7500 measures 4.5 inches tall by 2.2 inches wide by 0.4 inch thick (a slim 11.9mm waistline).
Samsung I7500 is a cutting-edge smartphone, equipped with a 3.2-inch 320 x 480 pixel AMOLED screen of HVGA resolution. The device runs on the latest 1.5 version of the Andorid OS and is equipped with a 5 megapixel autofocus camera, 1,500mAh battery, 8GB of internal memory, and microSD expansion slot (supports up to 32GB). The phone also offers all the connectivity features one might expect in a 2009 flagship phone: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0, GPS, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Of course, as an Android device, the I7500 supports Google’s various services, such as Google Search, YouTube, Google Talk, Gmail, Google Calendar and more. The integrated GPS receiver enables the comprehensive use of Google Maps features, such as My Location, Google Latitude, Street View, and detailed route description. Hundreds of other applications are available in Android Market. For example, the application Wikitude, a mobile travel guide, allows consumers to access details of unknown sights via location-based Wikipedia articles.
The Samsung i7500 will become available in the major European countries from June. Unfortunately, plans for a U.S. release are still unclear. There is, however, potentially good news for those in the States. The Samsung I7500 is a tri-band HSDPA and HSUPA device, supporting the 900/1700/2100MHz bands, which makes it compatible with the T-Mobile’s 3G network.
The price isn’t yet officially announced. Rumor has it that it will be in the region of 300 euro before taxes and subsides.
In other Android news, it looks like G1 owners in Germany will be the first to get the Android 1.5 software update. And, according to the info posted on androidguys.com, the update will be available in May, bringing such enhancements as video recording, stereo Bluetooth, an onscreen keyboard, and more.
