Who would have thought, way back at Nokia World 2011, that the name would come to ring as affectionately as it does today? The first three releases in the family, the <a href="http://newaffiliatecenter.blogspot.com/2011/11/review-mobile-phone-nokia-lumia-800.html">800</a>, <a href="http://newaffiliatecenter.blogspot.com/2012/02/review-gadget-nokia-lumia-710-for-t.html">710</a> and, most recently, the 900, all provided such a fluid, well-rounded experience that we found it easy to overlook certain weaknesses in their spec sheets. Low-res 480 x 800 displays and single-core processors were largely forgotten in the face of a fresh aesthetic and matching OS that stood out from the smartphone crowd.<br> Which brings us to Lumia number four: the 610. As a budget phone currently going for free on a £15-per-month contract in the UK, it&#39;s been built on Nokia&#39;s belief that Windows Phone will run on almost anything: the merest of Snapdragon S1 processors (clocked at just 800MHz) coupled with a few crumbs of RAM (256MB). Overall, those specs make previous Lumias -- with their S2 chips, 512MB and 1.4GHz clock speeds -- look almost futuristic. The question is, can WP really come this cheap and survive intact?

On the face of it, that&#39;s an easy one. The <a href="http://newaffiliatecenter.blogspot.com/2011/11/review-new-gadget-sony-ericsson-xperia.html" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">Sony Xperia s</a>  is the first handset we&#39;ve reviewed in the post-Ericsson era and you only have to glance at its spec sheet to see that more has changed than just the logo. The 4.3-inch LCD display outguns older Xperias with a bright and contrasty 1280 x 720 resolution. This feature alone helps the device to sit more snugly on the Sony family sofa, where it can share popcorn with the tablets, PCs and TVs that Kaz &amp; Co. want to merge into a seamless media-munching ecosystem. The Xperia S&#39; camera pushes in that same direction, shooting 12-megapixel stills and 1080p video and then streaming its creations to other displays over HDMI and DLNA. Rounding it off, you get quirky features like NFC and a distinctive, Bravia-like physical design. But not everything here is so fresh and spring-like: other aspects of the device are still tinged with winter, as you&#39;ll discover if you read on.</div><a href="http://newaffiliatecenter.blogspot.com/2012/05/review-gadget-sony-xperia-s-review.html#more">Continue Reading &gt;&gt;</a><div class="blogger-post-footer">Best Regard DyatWalker</div>0http://newaffiliatecenter.blogspot.com/2012/05/review-gadget-pantech-element-review.htmlAndroidandroid newsAndroid platformarticle gadgetgadget newshand-onlife gadgetpantechpantech element reviewPreviewreviewreview gadgetreview new gadgetsmartphonevideonoreply@blogger.com (KSBTravel)Tue, 1 May 2012 07:04:00 -0700tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5705305630554175106.post-74002723991482951<br> <div class="post_body" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"> <div style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;"> <img height="212" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/02/jrv32dsc01552.jpg" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 4px; margin-left: 4px; margin-right: 4px; margin-top: 4px;" width="320"></div> You&#39;ve heard of singin&#39; in the rain (and have likely seen the movie). You may have even attempted it once or twice, but tableting in the midst of a downpour? That doesn&#39;t exactly conjure the same whimsy and spontaneous dance numbers. Yet, <a href="http://newaffiliatecenter.blogspot.com/search/label/pantech/" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">Pantech&#39;s</a> making such joyous, on-the-go content consumption possible with the aptly named <a href="http://newaffiliatecenter.blogspot.com/search/label/pantech+element/" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">Element</a>.

With a dual-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon APQ8060 CPU complemented by 1GB RAM, a 1024 x 768 TFT XGA display and a healthy 6,400mAh battery, this impermeable tab stands on equal spec footing with its post-PC peers. At $299 on two-year contract, it&#39;s certainly priced to sell, but should you dish out the dollars for a middle-ground tablet from the likes of a lesser-known manufacturer? Does a limited and possibly frivolous imperviousness to water warrant your attention? Should you stash that plastic until Pantech confirms an ETA for that <a href="http://newaffiliatecenter.blogspot.com/2011/11/android-era-from-g1-to-ice-cream.html" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">Ice Cream Sandwich</a> upgrade?

It may not be as formidable a force as the Samsungs and Motorolas of the world, but the outfit is finally beginning to leave a mark. Once a complete unknown outside of Asia, the phone manufacturer is keeping itself incredibly busy on this side of the Pacific, cranking out low-cost devices for AT&amp;T and Verizon. Now, Pantech&#39;s focus has turned to LTE, starting with the $50 <a href="http://newaffiliatecenter.blogspot.com/2011/11/review-gadget-pantech-breakout-review.html" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">Breakout</a> on Big Red, followed by a smartphone and tablet option on Ma Bell.<br> <br> The <a href="http://newaffiliatecenter.blogspot.com/search/label/pantech%20burst" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">Pantech Burst</a> is the inaugural entry-level LTE smartphone in AT&amp;T&#39;s lineup, debuting at $50 with a two-year commitment. Don&#39;t let that bargain-basement price turn you off, though -- this thing&#39;s got plenty of mojo to back it up, which makes the Burst a stark contrast to its Verizon counterpart. But what can we expect from a budget-friendly handset? Is Pantech finally pushing out a device that will help it earn a new level of respect from American consumers? We&#39;re bursting at the seams to answer those questions and take the device for a spin after the break.

It was also said that if the software on that device contained a task manager that coders had similarly missed the mark. <a href="http://newaffiliatecenter.blogspot.com/2012/04/review-gadget-at-galaxy-note-review.html">The Samsung Galaxy Note on AT&amp;T</a> contains what many would consider a stylus and, if you hold down the Home button, you&#39;re presented with what can only be described as a task manager.<br> <br> So the Galaxy Note, Samsung&#39;s massive 5.3-inch &quot;superphone,&quot; is critically flawed then, right? No. It is, in fact, one of the best phones to hit the market since another Samsung powerhouse -- the <a href="http://newaffiliatecenter.blogspot.com/2011/11/review-gadget-samsung-galaxy-nexus-with.html" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">Galaxy Nexus</a>. It&#39;s a device with a lot to love and is the kind of phone that would make almost every Android aficionado swoon. However, with its massive 5.3-inch display and generally understated styling, it isn&#39;t for everybody. We reviewed it before in <a href="http://newaffiliatecenter.blogspot.com/2011/11/review-gadget-samsung-galaxy-note.html" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">European guise</a>, but now read on to see if AT&amp;T&#39;s $300 LTE version of this big brute is just right for you.<br> </div><a href="http://newaffiliatecenter.blogspot.com/2012/04/review-gadget-at-galaxy-note-review.html#more">Continue Reading &gt;&gt;</a><div class="blogger-post-footer">Best Regard DyatWalker</div>0http://newaffiliatecenter.blogspot.com/2012/04/review-gadget-ainovo-novo-7-basic.htmlainovo novo 7AndroidAndroid 3.1android newsAndroid platformarticle gadgetgadget newshand-onice cream sandwichPreviewreview ainovoreview gadgetreview new gadgetsmartphonenoreply@blogger.com (KSBTravel)Tue, 24 Apr 2012 22:34:00 -0700tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5705305630554175106.post-3774444988112029720<br> <div class="post_body" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/14/ainovo-novo-7-basic-review/" style="clear: right; color: #00bdf6; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;"><img height="189" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/02/jrv1dsc01668-copy.jpg" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 4px; margin-left: 4px; margin-right: 4px; margin-top: 4px;" width="320"></a></div> It&#39;s a world&#39;s first coming from a company you&#39;ve never heard of -- if you live outside of China, anyway.

Sure, it may lack the brand equity and tidy content ecosystems that are part and parcel of Amazon and Apple&#39;s offerings, but thanks to that $99 price, users may find themselves seduced by the temptation of <a href="http://newaffiliatecenter.blogspot.com/2011/11/android-era-from-g1-to-ice-cream.html" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">Ice Cream Sandwich</a> alone. Apart from a small fraternity of devices including the Galaxy Nexus and ASUS Transformer Prime, few devices have officially played host to Android 4.0, lending this 7-inch tab a distinct advantage over the more expensive, Gingerbread-packing <a href="http://newaffiliatecenter.blogspot.com/2011/11/review-gadget-amazon-kindle-fire-review.html" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">Kindle Fire</a>. With a 1GHz Ingenic JZ4770 mobile applications processor based on a MIPS XBurst CPU, an 800 x 480 LED display and VGA front-facing / 2-megapixel rear cameras, this no-frills slate could blaze a bargain trail past Bezos and Co. So, does it manage to hold its own against its well-known competitors? Or will all that corner-cutting reveal this low cost tablet to be just another below-the-bar offering?

(It made it here well after the holidays passed. Better late than never, right?) While Sony is billing the Z as a Walkman first and foremost, its spacious 4.3-inch display and 1GHz Tegra 2 SoC ensure it&#39;s powerful and well-sized for playing games and generally making the most of Gingerbread. The device will be available in a variety of flavors, with up to 32GB of storage ($330), though for the purposes of this review we&#39;ve been rocking the entry-level 8GB model ($250).

Next, the Prada II brandished a sliding QWERTY keyboard, a 5-megapixel camera and arrived at a time when WiFi functionality was a big enough deal to note on the press release. Four years on, the pair have rolled their sleeves and attempted to reclaim a place among the top devices, with classy aesthetics backed up by a strong hardware and attractively customized software. This is the team&#39;s first attempt at an Android device, and on paper it&#39;s got some respectable specifications, including a 4.3-inch NOVA Plus display, a dual-core processor and an 8-megapixel camera sensor that appears to be the same one found on LG&#39;s 2011 flagship models. Granted, LG probably wasn&#39;t ever planning to include its latest <a href="http://newaffiliatecenter.blogspot.com/2011/12/review-gadget-lg-nitro-hd-review.html" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">HD IPS screen</a> on a phone where branding was dominated by the <em>other</em> partner, but this smartphone still wants to appeal beyond its good looks.<br><br>It&#39;s now appeared in Korea and Western Europe and we were fortunate enough to borrow one from UK retailer Phones 4u for review. Are people willing to stump up the top-tier smartphone cash for a device with last year&#39;s specifications? Do people want a Prada phone? Might a fashionista be more likely to plump for an iPhone? Or is it too popular? And what about that monochrome skin?

For a phone that single-handedly resuscitated the business prospects of its parent company, gave a much-needed boost to Google&#39;s fledgling Android and finally added a compelling product to Verizon&#39;s lineup, the Droid can&#39;t get no respect. Initially billed as the anti-iPhone, the OG flagship embodied an aggressively tech for tech&#39;s sake design ethos, with its masculine, hard-edged build, geeky OS and Lucasfilm licensed moniker.<br><br>That was all once upon a time. Now, two years later and sucked of its disruptive significance, the only legacy remaining for the red-eyed Droid franchise is its brand equity and QWERTY slider appeal. Aside from BlackBerry addicts, most consumers appear none too chuffed to see those slide-out keypads become the stuff of mobile lore, and instead prefer those increasingly ubiquitous slabs (namely, of the 4.3-inch-and-up persuasion). So, where did it all go wrong? Why is the Droid 4, now imbued with LTE, getting the B-list treatment? Does a $200 price tag and a host of minor spec bumps (a 1.2GHz dual-core CPU, 1.3 megapixel front-facer and beefier 1,785mAh battery) merit another spin around the two-year contract pole? Head on past the break to see whether this former trailblazer can still do what it&#39;s namesake robot supposedly does.</div><a href="http://newaffiliatecenter.blogspot.com/2012/02/review-gadget-motorola-droid-4-review.html#more">Continue Reading &gt;&gt;</a><div class="blogger-post-footer">Best Regard DyatWalker</div>0http://newaffiliatecenter.blogspot.com/2012/02/review-gadget-samsung-galaxy-tab-77_14.htmlAndroidAndroid 3.1android newsAndroid platformarticle gadgetgadget newsgalaxy tab 7.7hand-onice cream sandwichPreviewreview gadgetreview new gadgetreview samsungSamsungsmartphonenoreply@blogger.com (KSBTravel)Tue, 14 Feb 2012 04:59:00 -0800tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5705305630554175106.post-6230725545783434959<br> <div class="post_body" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"> <div style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;"> <br><img border="1" height="212" hspace="4" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/02/dsc09847-1328564311.jpg" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-left-width: 0px; border-right-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 15px; margin-right: 15px; margin-top: 0px;" vspace="4" width="320"></div> Within an 11-day period last fall, Engadget published reviews of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/10/samsung-galaxy-tab-8-9-review/" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;">two</a> <a href="http://newaffiliatecenter.blogspot.com/2011/11/review-gadget-samsung-galaxy-tab-70.html" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">different</a> Samsung Galaxy tablets. At the time, we felt the company was turning into a caricature of itself, with slates in every conceivable size, including 10.1, 8.9 and 7 inches. Mostly, though, if we sounded exasperated with Sammy&#39;s &quot;see what sticks&quot; strategy, it was because the outfit unveiled not one, but two 7-inchers over the course of a month. One of these, the 7.0 Plus, went on sale in the US back in November, with mid-range specs and a mid-range price to match its in-between size. But that tablet always felt like a consolation prize next to our second contender, the Galaxy Tab 7.7, which brings a brushed metal back, 10-hour battery and Super AMOLED Plus, 1280 x 800 display. Even on paper, it always seemed promising. <em>Special</em>.<br><br>Maddeningly, though, those of us here in the states still can&#39;t buy one through the likes of Best Buy and Amazon, and though Verizon Wireless plans to sell an LTE-enabled version, we know scant few details about when it will arrive, how much it will cost or whether there will be an off-contract option. Luckily for us, our friends over at Negri Electronics hooked us up with an international model, one with 16GB of internal storage and WiFi, HSPA+ and EDGE / GPRS radios -- a doozy of a tablet that would cost you $668.50 if you were to import it to the US. (You can buy it domestically if you live in select markets like the UK.) So is the product novel enough to warrant that novelty price?

If the LG Spectrum looks familiar, you&#39;re not imagining things.

Beneath their 4.5-inch IPS displays, you&#39;ll find virtually identical guts, including a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1,830mAh battery and 4GB of internal storage, coupled with a 16GB microSD. There are some important distinctions here, of course -- namely, changes to the phone&#39;s shell and, of course, a shift from AT&amp;T to <a href="http://newaffiliatecenter.blogspot.com/search/label/verizon" target="_blank">Verizon</a>.

The race to construct the thinnest phones on the market doesn&#39;t help much either, since whittling down handsets results in less space for generously sized battery packs. The <a href="http://newaffiliatecenter.blogspot.com/2011/11/review-gadget-motorola-droid-razr.html" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Motorola Droid RAZR</a> is currently the slimmest phone this side of the Pacific, offering a thickness of 7.1mm at its thinnest end, and the title likely won&#39;t hold for long as new phones like the Huawei Ascend P1 S aim to knock the RAZR off its throne. But at what point do we stand up and insist on adding a little extra heft for the sake of having a bigger battery?<br><br>Enter the Motorola Droid RAZR Maxx. A mere two months after its predecessor was released on Verizon, this new contender came around to challenge the battery life of every single next-gen phone we&#39;ve ever used. Its back end has been filled out somewhat to make room for a bigger battery, but at 8.99mm, it&#39;s still slimmer than a huge number of competing handsets on the market today. So what makes the Maxx different from the RAZR? Is it worth paying $300 with a two-year commitment -- a $100 premium over its original?

It pre-dated the first Android handset by a full year, and unlike the original iPhone, it was priced within reach of the average consumer. It introduced the masses to the possibilities of a connected and capable handset, and was the primary catalyst for the BlackBerry&#39;s meteoric rise to household name. With each subsequent iteration, however, the Curve remained a handset geared toward first-time smartphone buyers, and that axiom feels particularly true today.<br><br>We&#39;re now presented with the Curve 9360 ($29.99, on contract), a device that&#39;s ostensibly hobbled in order to differentiate itself from RIM&#39;s higher-end offerings, most notably the Torch 9810 ($49),<a href="http://newaffiliatecenter.blogspot.com/2011/11/review-gadget-blackberry-torch-9850.html" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Torch 9850</a> ($99) and Bold 9900 ($199). Specifically, we refer to its lack of a touchscreen. The omission will certainly be a deal-breaker for some, but whether it causes the market to reject it as a whole remains unknown. For our part, we&#39;re most interested in the impact on the handset&#39;s usability and its relevance in an increasingly competitive environment. In other words, has RIM included enough improvements to keep its Curve franchise afloat, or will this iteration sink like a stone? Join us after the break, as we delve into the Curve 9360 and explore these finer details.</div><a href="http://newaffiliatecenter.blogspot.com/2012/02/review-gadget-blackberry-curve-9360.html#more">Continue Reading &gt;&gt;</a><div class="blogger-post-footer">Best Regard DyatWalker</div>0http://newaffiliatecenter.blogspot.com/2012/02/review-gadget-blackberry-porsche-design.htmlarticle gadgetblackberryblackberry news.RIMblackberry porschegadget newshardwarep9981Previewresearch in motionreview blackberryreview mobile phonereview new gadgetrimnoreply@blogger.com (KSBTravel)Sun, 12 Feb 2012 04:21:00 -0800tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5705305630554175106.post-4469955017056614483<br> <div class="post_body" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"> <div style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;"> <img height="211" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/01/dsc09573-1327388056.jpg" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 4px; margin-left: 4px; margin-right: 4px; margin-top: 4px;" width="320"></div> Research in Motion, regardless of how you may view its recent history or its long-term future, still has a stronghold on the corporate world. Its lineup of BlackBerry smartphones are known for great battery life, comfortable keyboards with intuitive shortcuts, top-notch native email and Enterprise clients and -- most important to businesses -- unrivaled security features. Sure, its influence is waning as competitors have caught up in some areas (and surpassed it in others), but there are plenty of companies that have clung to their CrackBerries and held on tight.<br><br>RIM&#39;s been hard at work trying to regain lost momentum by introducing a series of new devices featuring its latest OS, BlackBerry 7, and the BlackBerry Bold 9900 / 9930 series has been the star of the show so far. The problem is, it&#39;s not flashy enough. How is a C-level exec supposed to walk proudly on the golf course with a $300 (subsidized) phone? Talk about embarrassing.

After all, the introduction of the Honor -- followed by last week&#39;s announcement of the super-slim Ascend P1 S -- appears to represent a shift in the OEM&#39;s overall product placement strategy. Huawei has done a great job finding customers in emerging and prepaid markets, but now it has its sights set on cranking out noteworthy phones that will gain the attention of anyone looking for a high-end device.<br><br>Based on its laundry list of specs, the Honor isn&#39;t a high-end handset compared to some of its LTE and dual-core competitors. And yet, it&#39;s still the best device Huawei&#39;s offered to date, and it&#39;s clear the company&#39;s upcoming phones are only going to get better. So we&#39;re really eyeing the Honor as a step closer to the OEM finally realizing its ultimate goal. Does it live up to its name? Can the Honor play with the big boys, or is it nothing more than just an outward indication of the company&#39;s future?

No, it&#39;s the<em>other</em> Lumia -- the low-end one. And it&#39;s headed for a berth on T-Mobile&#39;s airwaves next week, on January 11th. Rather than go big (or go home), Espoo&#39;s chosen to wade gently into the shallow waters of the US smartphone market, loading this budget Mango device with respectable mid-range specs and an irresistible price. The Lumia 710 is a $50 on contract proposition geared towards easing folks inept at the <em>smarter</em> aspects of wireless gadgetry into the 21st century. With a 3.7-inch ClearBlack LCD display, a1.4GHz Snapdragon processor aided by 512MB of RAM, a decent 5 megapixel rear shoot capable of 720p video capture and, of course, Windows Phone 7.5, it may do just that. The obvious hurdle keeping this able phone from flying off the shelves has little to do with performance and everything to do with Nokia&#39;s stateside brand recognition.

At the time, we felt the company was turning into a caricature of itself, with slates in every conceivable size, including 10.1, 8.9 and 7 inches. Mostly, though, if we sounded exasperated with Sammy&#39;s &quot;see what sticks&quot; strategy, it was because the outfit unveiled not one, but two 7-inchers over the course of a month. One of these, the 7.0 Plus, went on sale in the US back in November, with mid-range specs and a mid-range price to match its in-between size. But that tablet always felt like a consolation prize next to our second contender, the Galaxy Tab 7.7, which brings a brushed metal back, 10-hour battery and Super AMOLED Plus, 1280 x 800 display. Even on paper, it always seemed promising. <em>Special</em>.<br><br>Maddeningly, though, those of us here in the states still can&#39;t buy one through the likes of Best Buy and Amazon, and though Verizon Wireless plans to sell an LTE-enabled version, we know scant few details about when it will arrive, how much it will cost or whether there will be an off-contract option. Luckily for us, our friends over at Negri Electronics hooked us up with an international model, one with 16GB of internal storage and WiFi, HSPA+ and EDGE / GPRS radios -- a doozy of a tablet that would cost you $668.50 if you were to import it to the US. (You can buy it domestically if you live in select markets like the UK.) So is the product novel enough to warrant that novelty price?

We&#39;re always willing to give another form factor a try and in the Tablet P (£500), we certainly had that. While the Tablet S&#39;s wedge profile stood it out a little from the rest of the prone slabs, the P piqued our interest with an unusual clamshell form factor. Once the two 5.5-inch screens are folded together, the tablet has a pretty tiny footprint and just about fits into a jacket pocket. It&#39;s the third PlayStation-certified device, arriving proudly emblazoned with the four symbol trademark, and a second screen capable of doubling-up as both a controller for games or as a laptop-style keyboard. However, those twin screens require some not-so cosmetic adjustments to the Honeycomb experience we&#39;re used to and this is where we&#39;re most interested in seeing how Sony fared. Is the unique design implemented well enough? How does it fare as a games machine? Can a clamshell pull potential tablet buyers away from the iPad and a legion of sameish Android tablets? Crack open our review to find the answer to those questions and much more.</span><br> </div><a href="http://newaffiliatecenter.blogspot.com/2012/02/review-gadget-sony-tablet-p-review-uk.html#more">Continue Reading &gt;&gt;</a><div class="blogger-post-footer">Best Regard DyatWalker</div>0http://newaffiliatecenter.blogspot.com/2012/01/review-gadget-toshiba-thrive-7-review.htmlAndroidandroid newsAndroid platformarticle gadgetgadget newshand-onlife gadgetPreviewreviewreview gadgetreview new gadgetsmartphonetoshibatoshiba thrive reviewvideonoreply@blogger.com (KSBTravel)Mon, 23 Jan 2012 04:51:00 -0800tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5705305630554175106.post-5946435358870408248<br> <div style="margin-bottom: 8px; margin-left: 16px; margin-right: 16px; margin-top: 8px; min-width: 0px;"> <div class="post_body" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"> <div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;"> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <br><img height="220" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/12/thrive-7-aerial.jpg" style="border-bottom-width: 1px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-style: initial; border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px; cursor: move; margin-bottom: 4px; margin-left: 4px; margin-right: 4px; margin-top: 4px;" width="320"></div> </div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> As 2011 draws to a close, it&#39;s fun to look back and think about how we began the year testing the first Honeycomb tablet, and are now ending it elbow-deep in me-too slates, many of them cut down to smaller sizes. So it should surprise no one, then, that Toshiba released the Thrive 7&quot;, a mini (and aptly named) version of the original Thrive, which went on sale last summer.</div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <br></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> But in Toshiba&#39;s case, shrinking a tablet and calling it a day is a dicey proposition. After all, the 10-inch Thrive had some baggage -- namely, middling battery life, a chunky, toy-like design and a bug that initially kept it from waking after recharging. Indeed, the Thrive 7&quot; looks near-identical, and even packs the same Tegra 2 chip, 16GB of storage and vanilla take on Honeycomb. Still, it brings an LED flash, keeps its big brother&#39;s 1280 x 800 display and costs less than the original did when it first came out. So are these improvements enough to make this smaller Thrive stand out? And how does it stack up against all those other 7-inch slates we&#39;ve been testing lately? Let&#39;s find out.</div> </div></div><a href="http://newaffiliatecenter.blogspot.com/2012/01/review-gadget-toshiba-thrive-7-review.html#more">Continue Reading &gt;&gt;</a><div class="blogger-post-footer">Best Regard DyatWalker</div>0http://newaffiliatecenter.blogspot.com/2012/01/review-gadget-kyocera-echo-review.htmlAndroidandroid newsAndroid platformarticle gadgetgadget newsice cream sandwichPreviewreview gadgetreview kyocera echoreview new gadgetsmartphonevideonoreply@blogger.com (KSBTravel)Fri, 6 Jan 2012 06:25:00 -0800tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5705305630554175106.post-8741258809939175081<br> <div class="post_body" style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"> <div style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;"> <img alt="" border="1" height="212" hspace="4" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/04/kyocera-echo-lead.jpg" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-left-width: 0px; border-right-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 15px; margin-right: 15px; margin-top: 0px;" vspace="4" width="320"></div> It&#39;s not exactly difficult to put into words what the Kyocera Echo is -- it&#39;s a dual-screened Android phone, after all -- but it&#39;s a wee bit more challenging to wrap your head around who exactly it&#39;s for. The hardcore gaming contingent already has Sony Ericsson&#39;s Xperia Play, and those obsessed with screen real estate have options spanning the gamut -- everything from<a href="http://www.dell.com/" target="_blank"> Dell&#39;s </a>5-inch Streak to a veritable cornucopia of choices in the 4- to 4.3-inch range. So, where exactly does this oddball fit in? Quite frankly, we get the impression that it&#39;s doing its darnedest to carve out a market of its own, a thought that&#39;s reinforced by Kyocera&#39;s dedicated app development space and two-faced Simul-Task mode. Early critics (read: us) railed on the fact that double the screens meant double the trouble in terms of battery life, and there&#39;s no question that a second cell was included with our test unit. But are the advantages of having a second 3.5-inch WVGA touchpanel enough to overshadow the obvious pitfalls?

Of course, pushing out a phone with an unproven form factor is a huge gamble for a mobile provider, and as a result they only ship to stores in low volume and rarely receive any kind of marketing campaign at its launch. Indeed, the vast majority of these types of phones are low-end devices aimed at young adults and first-time smartphone buyers, but we still find it adventurous to take a break from the monotony of black slabs and try out something completely different.<br> </div><a href="http://newaffiliatecenter.blogspot.com/2011/12/review-gadget-pantech-pocket-review.html#more">Continue Reading &gt;&gt;</a><div class="blogger-post-footer">Best Regard DyatWalker</div>0http://newaffiliatecenter.blogspot.com/2011/12/review-gadget-samsung-captivate-glide.htmlAndroidandroid newsAndroid platformarticle gadgetgadget newsice cream sandwichPreviewreview gadgetreview new gadgetreview samsungSamsungsamsung captivate glidenoreply@blogger.com (KSBTravel)Sat, 31 Dec 2011 07:03:00 -0800tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5705305630554175106.post-5031153707114630454<br> <div class="post_body" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/21/samsung-captivate-glide-review/" style="clear: right; color: #00bdf6; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;"><img height="262" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/12/cglide-lede.jpg" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 4px; margin-left: 4px; margin-right: 4px; margin-top: 4px;" width="320"></a></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;"> </div> The QWERTY slider hasn&#39;t exactly gone the way of the dinosaur, but it&#39;s definitely approaching giant panda status. That is to say, it&#39;s become rare for a major device manufacturer to output anything other than candybar touchscreen smartphones. And why not? Slimmer, faster, beastlier is the mobile motto as of late and that&#39;s precisely what consumers seem to gravitate towards. But for diehard fans of tactile feedback, Samsung&#39;s birthed the Captivate Glide, a handset that marries the best of both form factors. Sitting just below its high-end brethren, Sammy&#39;s 4-incher runs along AT&amp;T&#39;s 21Mbps HSPA+ network and bundles an 800 x 480 Super AMOLED display with a dual-core 1GHz Tegra 2 processor, 1GB RAM, 8GB of internal storage, a 1,650mAh battery, WiFi, Bluetooth 3.0, a 1.3MP front-facing camera and an 8MP rear camera capable of 720p video capture. At $150 on a two-year contract, it&#39;s just half a Benjamin short of the top-tier, LTE-capable <a href="http://newaffiliatecenter.blogspot.com/2011/11/review-gadget-review-htc-vivid.html" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">HTC Vivid</a>. With that small of a price divide, you have to wonder: is the downgrade really worth it for the Captivate Glide&#39;s (comparatively) slower speeds and physical buttons? Are you willing to trade-in thin and sleek for messaging convenience and a bit of bulk?

Now that we&#39;re seeing the second generation of devices coming into the 4G fold, Big Red appears to be pushing choice -- not just in terms of size and feel, but price as well. The <a href="http://newaffiliatecenter.blogspot.com/2011/11/review-gadget-pantech-breakout-review.html" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Pantech Breakout</a> was the first to, well, <i>break out</i> of the mold, offering a smaller form factor for a much more reasonable cost. It was nothing to write home about, but the fact that it existed gave us hope that we&#39;d see a slew of phones in the same price range, finally making high-speed connectivity a more affordable option.</div><a href="http://newaffiliatecenter.blogspot.com/2011/12/review-gadget-samsung-stratosphere.html#more">Continue Reading &gt;&gt;</a><div class="blogger-post-footer">Best Regard DyatWalker</div>0http://newaffiliatecenter.blogspot.com/2011/12/review-gadget-verizon-galaxy-nexus.htmlAndroidandroid newsAndroid platformarticle gadgetgadget newsice cream sandwichPreviewreview gadgetreview new gadgetreview samsungSamsungverizonverizon galaxy nexusnoreply@blogger.com (KSBTravel)Sat, 31 Dec 2011 06:45:00 -0800tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5705305630554175106.post-2181253436881071985<br> <div class="post_body" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/16/verizon-galaxy-nexus-review/" style="clear: left; color: #00bdf6; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;"><img height="213" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/12/2011-12-16-nexusmaindsc04902.jpg" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 4px; margin-left: 4px; margin-right: 4px; margin-top: 4px;" width="320"></a></div> It&#39;s the Galaxy Nexus. It has LTE. It&#39;s the phone we&#39;ve been waiting (and waiting) for. Sure, some of our more globe-trotting members of the staff were suitably sated by the <a href="http://newaffiliatecenter.blogspot.com/2011/11/review-gadget-samsung-galaxy-nexus-with.html" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">HSPA+ version</a> that shipped a few weeks ago, but the rest of us domestic types simply need more bandwidth. Or, at least, we like to think that we do, and this $300 (on-contract) Verizon release certainly has that in spades.<br><br>However, there&#39;s something missing :  Google Wallet. That company&#39;s attempt at reinventing commerce isn&#39;t here and, while nobody&#39;s saying for sure, it surely has something to do with Verizon not wanting to kneecap the Isis payment service it has invested in. That leaves us wondering: with restrictions on what apps can be installed, and some rather prominent carrier branding on the back, is this really a Nexus device at all? And, more importantly, is it a good phone?

Still, there are plenty of ways for manufacturers to add their own bit of swing to the same &#39;ol song. Motorola, of course, paved the way for all these slates with the <a href="http://newaffiliatecenter.blogspot.com/2011/12/review-gadget-motorola-xoom-2-review.html" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Xoom</a>. It&#39;s hard to believe that first Honeycomb tablet was released just 10 months ago, but now we have its successor, the Xyboard, here in its 8.2-inch guise.<br><br>At least, that&#39;s what it&#39;s being called domestically. Elsewhere it&#39;s the Xoom 2 (we reviewed the 10.1-inch flavor already), but in America we get a patently unfortunate moniker for a tablet that offers an interesting design at an interesting size with the interesting bonus of LTE. But, all that mobile bandwidth is going to cost you: $430 for the 16GB model or $530 for 32GB if you sign on for a two-year data contract. Does the funky design, convenient size and high-rate connectivity make up for the added cost over something like the class-leading <a href="http://newaffiliatecenter.blogspot.com/2011/12/review-gadget-asus-eee-pad-transformer.html" style="color: #00bdf6; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Transformer Prime</a>?
