Sony Ericsson K700i Review

Sony Ericsson K700i adds additional functionality to the popular and highly-rated T630 model. What’s new in the K700i? Firstly, the VGA camera has been enhanced with a camcorder capability for recording videos.

The TFT screen is 65,000 colours, like the T630, but it has been increased to nearly twice the size of the T630 - great for photos, videos and games. Ringtones have been upgraded from 32-voice to 40-voice. There’s also an integrated FM radio and MP3 player.

Motorola RIZR Review

The cleverly named Motorola RIZR (or MOTORIZR) originally codenamed the “Capri” is a RAZR-style sliding phone - Motorola’s first for Western markets.

Initial reports say that Motorola have spent a lot of time getting the sliding mechanism just right, resulting in a handset that feels as if it is very high quality. It’s certainly a distinctive looking device too, and Motorola have been clever in including many RAZR family features into the design of the Motorola RAZR.

Samsung F300 SGH-F300 Music Power

What makes the Samsung F300 so special is something that we can’t show you.. because Samsung’s press office have only supplied a picture of one side of the SGH-F300. Here’s the clever thing: on one side of the F300 is a “music player” interface with a large screen and multidirectional pad.. on the other side is a conventional numeric keypad plus a much smaller screen. It’s the first time we’ve ever seen this on a mobile phone, and it’s just such a darned shame we can’t show it to you. This arrangement is also found on the Samsung F500.
