HTC Desire HD Review and Price

2010-12-11T14:47:00.006+05:00

HTC Desire HD Price : US $ 677.98

The HTC Desire gained plaudits from the industry, and now HTC has come back with a bigger - and probably better - offering in the shape of the HTC Desire HD. But don't dismiss it as just another follow-up device - the Desire HD is very much a newest cell phone in its own right; it has a new look, a bigger display and a better operating system. Whatever, HTC has certainly put itself under some pressure to deliver something even better than the Desire, and to offer a plausible alternative for iPhone fans.

HTC Desire HD Review and Price

The Desire HD has very slim proportions, despite that huge 4.3in touchscreen, but it is really long, which makes it a bit cumbersome. We could still fit the device in a pocket, and we're big fans of large screens, but it may put off some users. We love that HTC reviews have allowed the touch-screen to stretch to all the device's sides, apart from the bottom. Underneath the screen are four touch keys for search, Back, Menu and Home - unlike the original Desire, which had hard keys for these functions.
The HTC Desire HD has an eight-megapixel camera on-board, which makes it the best-equipped Android phone in terms of snapper so far (yes, we know the HTC Mozart has a Xenon Flash, too, but that is a Windows Phones 7 device). It's a shame that there is no lens protector, nor a dedicated camera key - instead you have to use a virtual icon on screen to switch it on, which we're not keen on. But we were impressed with the dual LED flash and there are good dozen or so effects to play around with - they also offer the chance to preview before taking the photo. If you turn the phone around from portrait to landscape orientation, for instance, the virtual icons realign too, which is handy? The name will have given away the fact that the Desire HD offers high definition video, but we felt rather let down by the video recording facilities on offer. It's not awful, and does allow you to zoom in and out while recording, to record up to an hour's worth of footage, and to use the flash and the effects offered on the still camera. But we found it a shame that the video camera took some time to get used to changes in light, which resulted in rather amateurish footage.

We have to say; we think HTC offers the best social network integration experience of any of the phone manufacturers, thanks to Friend Stream, which manages to sync Twitter and Facebook contacts with no repeats. Pop a ‘What's on your mind' status and it will add an update on both networks; you can state what sort of news you want to see from which networks and are able to reviews the history of your conversation with specific contacts; you can also see photos they have put up on social networks. We were also impressed with the email facility - pop in your password and email address and you're off. Choose whether you want to have one stream of all your accounts merged together, or filter to look at all your email conversations with one contact, all mails with attachments or unread mails. It's the closest we've seen on a mobile phones device to a real desktop email experience. It's handy that the device remembers your email addresses, so that you don't need to re-enter them to log in to other accounts. The dedicated ‘com' key on the virtual keyboard (whether it is in landscape or portrait mode) is another bonus.

Underneath all this cleverness is Android's latest version of its operating system: FROYO 2.2. In short, it offers a faster user experience, voice search and dictation, and allows you to play flash video, like that embedded on a number of sites such as the BBC. We're generally very keen on Android, but we have to say it is not as smooth as the Apple OS, so it's great that HTC has managed to counteract this by adding its own skin of customisable menus and large icons.

HTC Desire Z

2010-11-25T00:12:00.004+05:00

HTC Desire Z Price: USD $674

The HTC Desire Z is a Latest mobile phone by HTC mobiles. The HTC Desire Z is a bit of a heavyweight, but it does boast a 3.7inch S-LCD screen that proves brighter than Super AMOLED displays

HTC has a long tradition of Windows-powered business handsets, so it is not surprising that an Android powered one has appeared. While the Desire Z t-mobile has a respectable side, with its QWERTY keyboard, it also offers some fun with numerous media functions.

The newest phone Desire Z weighs in at a quite hefty 180g. The battery sits behind a stainless steel cover that pops open when you press a spring-loaded button. The S-LCD display is 3.7inches, and proves brighter than the Super AMOLED displays. A narrow black bezel sits around its edge, and there are a total of four touch-sensitive areas for universal search, home, back and menu. The OK button takes the form of a black optical trackpad.

With the benefit of Google Maps and A-GPS, it has always been possible to use HTC Android handsets as sat navs, but now the HTC Desire review's has something new in the shape of a Car Panel app, which transforms the home screen into a sat nav dashboard, complete with nearby points of interest, links to your finish point, a history of places visited - and there's also a shortcut to the dialler, so it's simple to use the phone. There's a free 30-day licence for voice test navigation (we found the feminine voice quite soothing) but voice command is omitted. We did like the fact that you can put your handset in a car mount, android even if it's connected to neither a headset or car kit, the speakerphone will instantly turn on if you receive or make a call.

The phone's five-megapixel snapper is better than the one that was included on the Desire - daylight images are particularly good, with warm bright colours and decent clarity. Video records at 720p.
The HTC hd Desire Z's HTML browser supports Flash, which enables the user to see web pages as they would appear on your desktop (and that includes embedded video), which puts it ahead of the likes of the iPhone and Windows 7 devices.

HTC Mozart

2010-11-14T23:19:00.008+05:00

HTC Mozart Price: $ 790

Throw away your preconception about Windows phones, or HTC phones, because the HTC Mozart, a multimedia device that is one of the launch handsets for Windows Phone 7, is now here. It is newest cell phone and like all its Windows phone siblings, it toes the party line when it comes to what Microsoft expects of it – and that’s not a bad thing.

There are some minimum requirements for the hardware of a Windows Phone 7 handset – for a start it must have a 3.5-inch touch-screen with WVGA resolution. The Mozart review gets its own message across with its anodised aluminium cover (rather like the HTC Legend), which curves around part of the phone. The remainder of the phone is crafted from Teflon (like the HTC Desire). It exceeds the minimum requirements with its 3.7-inch screen, although an inch of that is a touch-sensitive area for search, back key and the Windows Start button. It won’t take you long to realise this latest cell phone is an Orange exclusive – turn over the handset and you’ll get the branding message – with logos for HTC cell phones, Windows Phone 7 and Orange. You’ll also find the eight-megapixel camera lens, a speaker vent (there’s also one on the front) and the Xenon flash.

Microsoft has decided that one-look-fits-all, so manufacturers are unable to add their own skin to the operating system. However, we don’t think that’s a bad thing. The phone book proves itself excellent, with an integrated contacts list that is mixed with a Facebook feed and your recent contacts. Microsoft has taken note of what other operating systems offer, and you’ll find you can sync Facebook, Hotmail, and Google as well as connect your friends’ contact details across all of them.

There’s a unique styling to Windows phone 7, with its best homescreen of ‘five tile’ widgets.A O2 Germany leaked document we stumbled upon today lists the HTC HD7 The Marketplace tile, for instance, can tell you when an app has an update waiting. It's also possible to add shortcuts to contacts, apps, or places to navigate to. You’ll see lots of fades as you swipe between screens – it’s very different from the old, unintuitive Windows Mobile
It’s just a shame that making an actual phone call is such a long-winded process. Unless you’re calling someone you’ve contacted recently, it takes four clicks just to get to the contact book, and then you have to input a few letters, choose the correct contact, and then…decide if you’re going to text or call them.

Samsung Solid Extreme Camera Mobile Phone

2010-11-07T23:42:00.003+05:00

Samsung Solid Extreme Price: $124.99

Samsung is all set to launch its latest ruggedised cell phones – the Samsung Solid Extreme Camera Mobile Phone. Samsung boasts that this best mobile phone can withstand fall of 2 metres, ducking in water up to 1 metre and is highly resistant to dust. This shock-proof handset is designed to defy rough and noisy conditions like building sites. Noise cancellation technology has been incorporated in the handset that stops background noise interrupting conversations and it also has an ‘extremely loud’ speaker.

So what little surprises did it have in store for us? These unusual features are always a given on ruggedised phones and the Solid Extreme is no exception. Sadly, it doesn't have the compass that we used to find on Nokia's tough phones but it does have a handy torch. The LED is positioned on the top of the device, and it's turned on by a long press on the dedicated button on the side. It will remain on until you turn it off - remember this as it can drain the battery power.

In the age of multimedia phones, the small screen with its 120 x 160 pixels, looks somewhat unimpressive. But it's not a multimedia phone - it doesn't even have 3G. No, that's not the purpose of the Solid Extreme. However, the display is colour and shows the time using big numbers, which is useful. Both headphones and charger fit into the same proprietary socket, although there is Bluetooth, so you could connect a set of wireless headphones if you want to listen to some tunes (though not while operating heavy machinery, we hope).

If you want to listen to music, it does have expandable memory, along with an FM radio. But don't be expecting the latest operating system. There is a voice recorder, a stopwatch, games and a pretty basic image editor - as well as a 1.3megapixel camera. One handy feature is the noise cancellation faculty, which can be useful in a noisy environment such as a building site.

We didn't like the fact that the central button on the navigation pad defaults to launching the browser, nor the fact that it's not easy to alter this setup. Just remember to lock the keypad when the phone is in your pocket or bag, or you could find yourself on the receiving end of a load of data connection charges by mistake.

Samsung Galaxy Europa

2010-10-28T19:19:00.006+05:00

Samsung Galaxy Europa Price: $239.99

The Samsung Galaxy Europa looks businesslike and smart and this is newest mobile phone, thanks to its dark chrome frame and the black edge around the 2.8in touchscreen. It features the latest version of the Android operating system - 2.1. While the screen is colourful and light, it is just an LED and lacks the stunning images of the AMOLED screens on Samsung handsets. There's the usual four buttons search, back, menu and home. Remember where they are, because they are not backlit, so if you're using your smart cell phone in a low-light situation you'll have to find them by touch! There are another two buttons to start and end phones calls, and finally there's a direction pad - a square with round corners - and a confirmation button in its centre. That's a lot of buttons for a touchscreen device!

Samsung has not done much in the way of dressing up the basic Android system - but then this is a pretty new version of the software. You'll find seven home screens with a bundle of shortcuts on the first one. When you scroll between the homescreen, you'll find that three of the icons continue to stay in view - Phone, Apps List and Contacts. That's because despite all these physical buttons, none of them leads you to the dialler - you'll need to tap the phone icon for that. Mind you. It's not so bad as at least every home screen has a dialler.

Many budget phones cut costs by opting for the cheaper resistive touchscreen or deciding not to include Wi-Fi, but Samsung mobile cell phone has managed to include Wi-Fi and provide a best capacitive display, so how has it saved money? Well, you don't get the benefit of multitouch, so if you're a fan of pinching and zooming, you might feel the Galaxy Europa is lacking, However, we found the double-tap facility worked just fine - and as the phone fits text to the size of the screen, it still looks good.

Bonuses courtesy of Samsung include an apps list that can scroll sideways (like the Samsung Galaxy S) as well as some very useful shortcuts lurking behind the window shade that switch Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on and off and turn on both vibrate and silent profiles. Social media fans will like the Social Hub, which mixes your Google info with MySpace, Twitter, Facebook and so on, so you can gather all your contacts' details.

HTC HD7

2010-10-25T00:58:00.004+05:00

HTC HD7 Price: $ 669.98

Microsoft has a lot invested in its new Windows Phone 7 operating system. In the past, its menu systems have been fiddly - often requiring the use of a stylus - but now there is a home screen, featuring big ‘live' squares, with each one representing one of the phone's capabilities. These cover everything from Windows Marketplace, to accessing your photo collection or your contacts lists. While we're on the subject of contacts, sign in to your Windows Live or Facebook account and the HTC HD7 will aggregate all your contacts into one list, bringing up any details available, such as birthdays, place of work and email address. It is even possible to assign one of the live tiles to your favorite contacts, so you can instant message, text or call them in no time at all. Another nice touch is that the HD7 pulls any of your photo albums from Facebook and places them, in the phone's photo folder, along with the latest images posted by your Facebook friends, as well as any snaps you've taken with your phone.

The HTC Mobile Hub also sits on one of the ‘live' tiles. Now, while this may look pretty good - and it's where you'll find the HTC's 3D weather feature - we're somewhat puzzled by it. From the Hub it is possible to download a few select apps that have been optimized for the HTC HD7. Once you have bought and downloaded them, they stay in the Hub. But you can also add them to the home screen. So unless you want to check the weather or download new apps, we can't see you wanting to spend a lot of time in the Hub.

In case you're wondering, the latest HTC phone has been named after Windows new operating system Windows Phone 7. Like its predecessor, the HD7 has a massive 4.3in display, which reaches right to the edge of the handset. This time around, the screen has been upgraded to an S-LCD. At the moment, the jury is out on whether these displays measure up to the AMOLED. But to our untrained eye, while the HD7's screen is as vibrant as the Super AMOLED display on the Samsung Galaxy, for instance, it doesn't offer quite the same level of crispness and boldness when it comes to text. Having said that, unless you put the phones next to each other, you wouldn't really be able to notice the difference.

Nokia N8

2010-10-09T00:04:00.004+05:00

Nokia N8 Price: $ 549.99

This newest mobile fantastic set of features include A-GPS, a 12-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi and 3.5-inch capacitive screen.

The N8 boasts good looks, thanks to its aluminium chassis, with its matt metallic sheen and stunning AMOLED display.

One of the best QWERTY keyboards we've seen, and the new Symbian^3 operating system is far better than its predecessors.

The Nokia N8 will let you talk for 330 minutes on a full battery charge, and runs for 400 hours on standby.

While were impressed by the camera and sat nav features, the top phone's performance would have been better if it had a more powerful processor.

Full Review and Specification for the Nokia N8

Price-Nokia-N8-Revie

Nokia has had a pretty successful year so far, even by its own high standards. The Finnish phone maker has produced a number of mid-range handsets, which has seen some people querying its credibility. This has all helped to boost interest in the arrival of the Nokia N8, which is the first mobe phone to come with the new Symbian^3 operating system, as well as offering a 12-megapixel camera with Xenon flash and auto-focus.

Like the iPhone, the Nokia N8 has an integrated battery, which is why you'll find the SIM and microSD cards on the side of the handset. The upshot of this is that you can swap SIMs and memory cards without the need to turn off the phone - really handy if you like to hot swap media content. But however good looking the N8's chassis is, it hardly compares to the capacitive display. It measure 3.5-inches high, the same as the iPhone 4 - although it's not as wide - and looks as beautiful when it is illuminated.

Sony Ericsson Spiro

2010-09-25T00:49:00.004+05:00

Sony Ericsson Spiro Price: $189.99

The Sony Ericsson Spiro is pretty easy to use, thanks to the fact that it’s far from being high spec and has a particularly useful keypad

The Spiro is a neat device new phone, with a nifty gloss front, flush display and an orange backlight to its matte keys

The Spiro is let down by the lack of 3G, which, among other factors, makes connectivity sluggish

It’s no surprise that with its small display and the omission of 3G and Wi-Fi, the battery lasts so long. It might be small but at least you won’t be rushing to charge it every night.

Review and Specification for the Sony Ericsson Spiro

Cast your mind back to when mobile phones were used for making phone calls, texting and the odd game of Snake when you had no signal. Those phones didn’t have the power of today’s smartphones, but they had the benefit of being much smaller and lighter, especially before the advent of 3G.

It’s quite a departure from the multitude of devices on the market trying to emulate the iPhone – and for that we like it. It’s not even pretending to be a smartphone – witness the lack of 3G, Wi-Fi and GPS. However, surprisingly it does have a 3.5mm audio jack, something that’s usually absent from Sony Ericsson handsets.

Sony Ericsson’s Spiro harks back to those days; It’s a small device, with no 3G radio, a glossy fascia, matte back and a nice slide-out keypad lurking behind the 2.2in display. Its easy-access buttons are user-friendly and there’s no touch-sensitive pad at all. You’ll just find Call and End buttons on the front, along with four more controls and the Walkman media playback controller in the centre.

The Walkman media control gives away the fact that the Spiro is essentially a music handset – however, you’ll find little in the way of built-in memory (only 5MB, not even enough to store one track). However, a microSD slot will allow you to up that memory you’ve had to buy.

The camera’s not up to much either – it offers a miserly two megapixels. On the bright side, any shots you take will take some time to fill up your memory card.

The Spiro is not completely featureless, though. It has Bluetooth, which means you can play music or take calls wirelessly with the phone residing in your pocket. And you’ll also find that Sony Ericsson favourite, TrackID, which identifies songs for you by listening to them for a few seconds.

Mind you, you will need some sort of a connection for the phone to send the sound to its remote database.

BlackBerry Torch 9800

2010-09-01T22:35:00.005+05:00

BlackBerry Torch 9800 Price: $ 199.99

BlackBerry users are a loyal bunch, as RIM has discovered. Once a BlackBerry user, pretty much always a BlackBerry user, whether they favour the QWERTY keyboards of the Bold and Curve ranges, Pearl's SurePress facility, or the Storm handsets with their touch-screens. Despite this popularity, RIM has never really managed to crack the mainstream market, something which it is trying to do with the BlackBerry Torch series, with not only the new operating system, but a touch-screen, AND a slide-out QWERTY keyboard.

BlackBerrys are not generally famous for their cameras, so it was a pleasant surprise to find the Torch boasts an excellent camera, with five megapixels, auto-focus, LED flash and face recognition. Choose to take pictures in portrait or landscape mode - the five virtual icons along the bottom of the viewfinder are easy to find with your thumb and offer album, geo-tagging, capture key, flash and scene setter. The flash in particular is impressive, producing some really good low-light and night-time images - although we found it better to switch it off - particularly indoors - rather than have it in auto mode as it has a tendency to go off when not needed. There a quickstart key on the side of the Blackberry Torch 9800 - press it and you'll be ready to take a picture in less than three seconds - that's pretty fast for a smartphone. If you're not much of a snapper, you can alter the dedicated key to start up the music player or browser if you wish.
The battery life on the Blackberry Torch was impressive. Naturally, like other similar handsets, if you have a number of apps and features running, it's going to use a lot of power, but we managed to get three days' use out of it, with social network notifications and push email turned on. Mind you, RIM reckons that push notifications save battery power, because you don't need to start up applications to the read your updates and messages.

Nokia C6

2010-08-27T21:57:00.002+05:00

Nokia C6 Price: $ 249.99

The Nokia C6 looks and feels good and is comfortable to use, with a good slide-out QWERTY keyboard.

There are lots of good features packed into the C6 including Wi-Fi and a five-megapixel camera with an LED flash.

The Symbian OS is slow and unresponsive and feels outdated, and the resistive touch-screen needs quite a lot of pressure for your command to be recognized.

The touch screen is slow, but it’s mostly responsive, and the keyboard makes texting easy.

There’s a good day or two of battery life inside the C6.

Nokia’s latest Smartphone is the C6, a reasonable priced, good-looking Smartphone stuffed full of features. But while it looks good on paper, there’s nothing new here.

Touch-screen on the Nokia C6

The touch screen on the C6 is the pressure-sensitive resistive kind, which flounders next to the plethora of far superior capacitive screens out there. And although it just makes the phone seem cheap rather than low-priced, Nokia is better at resistive screens than any other manufacturer. And with a resistive screen, you can use gloves or a stylus to operate the phone, and don’t need to be as exact as you do with a capacitive screen – but you do miss out on the sharp resolution. One problem with most resistive screens, the C6’s included, is that if you don’t press quite hard enough you need to input your command again, which gets frustrating when it happens enough?

Of course, with a resistive screen you also miss out on the multi-touch capacity that allows for things like the phone’s pinch-to-zoom. There is also no alternative like the N900’s Memo feature. You can double-tap but the text won’t reformat for you.

Style of Nokia C6

The C6 is a great looking phone with a vivid 3.2-inch screen in a stylish matte black or chrome body. Beneath the screen sit three keys for call, call end and menu. Pressing on the side of the phone and the QWERTY keyboard slides straight out rather than the tilting action seen in previous Nokia smart phones. The keyboard spacious and feels good to use, with subtle backlighting that moves with your fingers. This is a nice touch that employs the phones ambient light sensor, although it is a little slow at times.

On the back of the phone sits the five-megapixel camera and flash, and on the side is the lock-screen switch which we’ve enjoyed on other Nokia touch-screen phones. On the top sits a 3.5mm audio port so you can plug in your own headphones; always a bonus.

Inside the phone are Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and an FM radio as well as the excellent Ovi Maps service. But while it sounds great on paper, the C6 is... well, uninspiring. It’s a great price and stuffed full of features but there’s just nothing new here.

BlackBerry Curve 3G 9300

2010-08-23T13:39:00.002+05:00

Price: $ 219.99

RIM has this month announced the new BlackBerry Curve 3G, an exciting addition to the globally popular BlackBerry Curve series of smartphones. The Curve 9300 3G arrives with OS 6.0 and 3G connectivity. It’s designed to provide the growing mass of smartphone purchasers with a definitely powerful, approachable and affordable choice.

This best new handset supports high-speed 3G (HSDPA) networks around the world and gives users the exceptional communications features. Besides although the phone does not sport a touchscreen, but has a QWERTY keyboard, optical trackpad, GPS, Wi-Fi and a microSD card slot that can take up to 32GB of memory cards. The 256MB of internal memory is par for the course, unfortunately. The camera is a slight 2MP job, and the display has 320 x 240 pixels.

Support for 3G networks makes browsing faster, streaming music smoother, and gives users the ability to talk on the phone while they browse the web, instant message with BlackBerry Messenger or share their location with friends on popular social networking sites. The BlackBerry Curve 3G ships with BlackBerry 5 and is BlackBerry 6 ready. BlackBerry 6 is a new operating system for BlackBerry smartphones that was announced last week. It retains the trusted features that distinguish the BlackBerry brand while delivering a fresh and engaging experience that is both powerful and easy to use. BlackBerry 6 is expected to be available for the BlackBerry Curve 3G, subject to carrier certifications, in the coming months. This is the newest mobile phones of this month.

“The majority of people in the worldwide mobile phone market have yet to buy their first smartphone and the BlackBerry Curve 3G is designed to provide an extremely attractive and accessible choice that will help convince many of them to make the leap,” said Mike Lazaridis, President and Co-CEO at Research In Motion. “The new BlackBerry Curve 3G is a perfect choice for happily busy people who are looking for a user-friendly 3G smartphone to help them make the most of their day and to stay connected with their friends, family and co-workers.”

Sony Ericsson’s Walkman range gave the manufacturer a reputation for top-class music phones, but its handsets gradually got bigger and clunkier and metamorphosed into ‘media phones’. With the exception of the Xperia range, these phones have been average at best. With the Zylo, though, there is a welcome return to both the basics and the Walkman range.

A handset that manages to be featherlight yet not feel cheap, the Zylo’s matte silver design gives it a contemporary feel.
A stylish matte silver finish with blue accents give the Zylo a sleek, modern appearance, with a 2.6-inch screen that slides up to uncover the roomy keyboard. It’s very light, at just 115g, but in no way feels cheap. The central OK key acts as a control for the music player and a multitasking key lets you view any apps you have open.
The music player is central to this phone, but the camera doesn’t really cut it other than as a token gesture.
An accessible grid interface displays your programs, which you control via the central OK button, and a scrollable widget toolbar for social networking and such.

The web browser can be slow, as can social networking, but the Walkman music player works very well indeed.

The Zylo’s battery power is good, giving you 210 minutes’ talktime and 400 hours’ standby before you have to refuel.

On the left-hand side of the phone are a volume control rocker and the dedicated Walkman key, which also works the camera shutter when you’re in camera mode. The camera is nothing special, with a 3.15-megapixel resolution and no flash or auto-focus, and even shots taken in daylight came out a bit grainy.

Motorola Milestone XT720

2010-08-19T14:52:00.011+05:00

Motorola Milestone XT720 Price: $ 454.98

Motorola had a bit of a low period for a while, following up the massive success of the iconic RAZR with a period of absence punctuated by the occasional odd concept phone like the Aura. But since the release of the Dext last year the manufacturer appears to be on the up and up. The Milestone XT720, the second phone in the Milestone range, is powered by Android 2.1 and looks to be another success.

The Motorola Milestone XT720 is a hefty phone in both size and weight, with a ridged back that accommodates the Xenon flash.

The features on the Motorola Milestone XT720 are impressive and include HSDPA and Wi-Fi internet speeds, A-GPS, a capacitive touch-screen and the star feature: an eight-megapixel camera with Xenon flash.

The capacitive touch-screen is sometimes over-responsive, leading to launching apps unintentionally, and the QWERTY keyboard requires careful handling.

The unpowered processor means you get delays in launching applications.

The battery power is good considering all the features on the Motorola Milestone XT720 : up to 540 minutes of talktime.

Style and handling on the Motorola Milestone XT720

The Motorola Milestone XT720 is a chunky, heavy handset that weighs a hefty 160 grams. The 3.7-inch screen is great but set in a wide border; we can't help thinking that either the screen could have been bigger or the phone smaller. Like many touch-screens it's a fingerprint magnet, but it does seem worse than usual. Below the screen sit four touch keys for menu, home, back and quick search.

The back of the phone is navy blue, which sounds odd but actually looks great against the metallic front. This is where you'll find the XT720's killer app: its eight-megapixel camera with Xenon flash. More on the camera later, but the flash and (unprotected) lens are on a slight ridge that makes the phone even fatter. It needs the bulk to accommodate that flash, of course, but some users may be put off by it.
Hello Moto

Motorola FlipOut

2010-08-17T00:24:00.007+05:00

Motorola FlipOut Price: $379.99

Motorola has never been scared to try something new with its mobile phones. It was responsible for the first clamshell phone and the only handset to have had a round display, and with the FlipOut it's once again trying something new. It's a square handset that opens like a switchblade, and is fully loaded with the Motoblur social networking interface and the Android operating system.The 2.8-inch touch-screen has a resolution of only 320x240 pixels, so looks pixelated, and it's too small for satisfying web surfing. But it does have multi-touch support which works well when browsing, viewing maps and going through the gallery.

The unique design means you flip the square FlipOut open like a switchblade. It’s well built and solid but feels a little flimsy in the hand, and those corners are a bit short.

The moto flip out opening of the name is smooth and stable, but that QWERTY keyboard takes some getting used to.

Wi-Fi and multi-touch browsing make for fast and smooth internet browsing, and A-GPS and Google Maps provide good navigation. Unfortunately though, the three-megapixel camera lets it down.

The battery life is average on the FlipOut, with 270 minutes’ talktime and 380 hours’ standby.

The FlipOut is certainly unique although the design doesn't add a whole lot to the experience. It flicks open smoothly, although does feel a little lightweight, and the sharp edges on the phone can actually start to hurt your hand after a while.

Flip it open to reveal a five-line QWERTY keyboard with a dedicated number line and well-sized keys, although they can be a bit hard to press. A separator bar down the centre is a bit offputting at first, but could prove useful if you were trying to text in the dark. There's a D-Pad positioned on the bottom left-hand corner of the keyboard but it seems a bit pointless when you can use use the touch-screen to move around.

Nokia C3

2010-08-14T14:37:00.009+05:00

Nokia C3 Price: $ 129

The Nokia C3 smart looks, taken from the professional Eseries range, belie its low price. The lightweight plastic cover is given a respectable matt finish, and the four-line QWERTY keyboard is outstanding for a cell phone at this price.

Design-wise, the Nokia C3 looks fantastic, with the professional styling’s of Nokia’s E3 series. Despite its lightweight plastic cover, its matte finish looks stylish. Below the 2.4-inch display sit a D-pad, call and call end keys, two option keys and two customizable shortcut keys.
Below these is a four-line QWERTY keyboard that is one of the best we’ve seen on a low-priced handset. The camera is a basic two-megapixel model with no flash or autofocus. You’ve got no chance of night or inside shots, and even pictures taken in broad daylight come out quite soft, albeit it with beautiful good colors. You can upload them directly but only to Flickr, oddly not Facebook, or you can send them via MMS, email or Bluetooth.

As for internet, you get EDGE speeds rather than 3G, but Wi-Fi is included, which is impressive. This means that uploading and downloading is a speedy matter. You can’t run social network apps in the background, though, so there are no push notifications of events.

Internet on the Nokia C3

We’re happy to see that Nokia has embedded the outstanding Opera Mini browser, which really makes the best of low-speed phones. Pages load quite quickly despite a small delay when typing in search terms or URLs. There is a zoom box (no keys) that lets you go from viewing the page at full page to 100% which does a pretty good job at making non-optimized sites readable, but this is really only a phone for quickly looking up info.

Dedicated browsers look elsewhere. In common with many Nokia phones, loading your contacts on to the Nokia C3 is no picnic – you somehow have to sync them with Ovi suite first. Ovi Mail means you can add any webmail account; it’s basic, with no push notification, but does the job well if you just want to check your mail on the move. The QWERTY keyboard makes messaging quick and easy.

Social networking on the Nokia C3

There are three shortcuts areas the homepage that you can customize with your most-used contacts, your calendar, a toolbar that links to all applications and Communities, which contains the Facebook and Twitter apps. These are both quite full featured: Facebook links to everything you’d expect on a desktop and includes a list of events showing what you have been invited to over a ten-day period; Twitter is also a desktop-like view, showing direct messages, mentions and favorite tweets.

Once you have selected your account you can update directly from the home screen via the Communities icon. But despite the two apps’ features, they both run painfully slowly, especially when scrolling. And this snail’s pace is the main problem with the C3 overall. We know it’s a budget phone and didn’t expect brilliant multitasking capabilities, but... For example, press the call end button and you’ll get a message asking if you really want to close the app. Pressing any button results in a one-second delay, and programs take some time to load up. It all amounts to a frustrating experience.

2010-08-14T01:12:00.012+05:00

Nokia X6

2010-08-14T00:49:00.004+05:00

Nokia X6 Price: :$419.99

In the world of Nokia it's all about evolution, rather than revolution. So do not expect the specs on the X6 to blow your mind. The handset is the next step for the market leader move to make up for a late start in touch- screens. To be honest, the Symbian S60 touch edition has been struggling to catch up with the standard setters in terms of user experience. And the X6 claims to have the answer, the responsiveness only a capacitive screen can bring.

The Nokia X6 is also the first XpressMusic mobile to head straight for the high-end. Midrange is the highest the music Finns have gone so we are interested to see how this change of approach works. Nokia have always had a strong request to the masses, but pleasing the selected few is undoubtedly harder.

HTC Wildfire

2010-08-14T00:42:00.018+05:00

HTC Wildfire Price: $349.00

The HTC Widfire has present at birth something from all its cousins – it’s the same size and shape as the Tattoo, yet has the Desire’s classy matt feel. However, while the Desire was clad in Teflon, the Wildfire is constructed from metalized plastic with a soft sheen. It’s wider and shorter than the Legend, offering a more comfortable experience when typing on the touch-screen keyboard. Using the optical track pad allows the user to navigate without touching the display. Above it sit four touch-sensitive areas for home, back, search and menu.

Android fans are usually a bit geeky, thanks to the opportunities that it offers for tweaking. However, HTC is doing its best to push Android to the masses, with an offering of easy-to-use handsets, customized with the HTC Sense interface. The Wildfire sits somewhere in the middle of the group – cheaper than the Desire and Legend, but a touch slicker than the Tattoo. In terms of hardware, it’s more akin to the older HTC Hero, but its range of software ensures it sits firmly among the ranks of the latest smartphones.

Just like the Legend and Desire, the HTC Wildfire runs on Android 2.1, with the updated Sense interface from HTC. Offering support for multi-touch, you can pinch and zoom in any home screen to allow for viewing in helicopter mode, and you’ll find all the HTC widgets here, including Friend torrent for social networkers. The only thing that betrays the Wildfire’s low price is the pixilated QVGA display. The Wildfire also has a five-megapixel camera with auto-focus and flash. But there’s no dedicated camera button – you have to use the optical track pad. The camera produced somewhat

soft images, even in daylight, but you’ll find the colors are warm and true.

Samsung Galaxy S

2010-08-14T00:35:00.008+05:00

Price: $619.99

First, let's look at the basics. The Samsung Galaxy S is a capacitive touch-screen handset with a massive four-inch screen. Putting it ahead of the pack is Android 2.1 most Google phones run on 1.6. In the recent past, we've not been kind about Samsung's designs as we've found them all much of a mushiness. The Jet blends into the Blade, which blends into to the Monte, and so on. However, the Galaxy S is like no other, well actually, don't say this too loudly, but it's rather like an iPhone - an iPhone 3GS we should say, not an iPhone 4.
When Apple brings out a new iPhone, it's usually a signal for other handset manufacturers to up their game if they want to compete. And for a while now, we've felt that Samsung hasn't quite been stepping up to the plate, introducing good, but not excellent phones. While we weren't completely in love with Samsung's Wave, we can now declare that we are completely enamored with its latest offering - the Samsung Galaxy S.

While Samsung may not thank us for making the comparison, remember that the iPhone is an eye-catching handset. The back of the Samsung Galaxy S feels like tempered glass, with a slight chin at the bottom of the handset. We're assuming this helps to protect the camera lens by lifting it slightly when the phone is placed on a hard surface. The Galaxy S feels light - in fact it's so light that you might want to splash out on a protective case - we'd be worried if the phone got dropped on the floor.

Your experience of this kind of phone depends on the touch-screen, and gladly the Galaxy S has one of the most fluid and responsive screens we've ever used. The only front-facing keys on this device are a touch-responsive menu key, a sunken (and very slightly creaky) D-Pad, and a back button. After all, with a touch-screen this effective, who needs a load of hard keys? However, it is a shame there's no dedicated camera key. We'll go into the camera in more detail later, but as phone cameras are invariably used for natural snaps, it seems a bit of a gaff to have to go into the Galaxy S's main menu to start up the camera. By the time you've done that, it's likely the moment will have passed.
