Nokia 6212 Classic 3G Light Weight Phone

This is not a 3G phone – Toshiba Portege G710 is a quad-band GSM device with GPRS and EDGE. There is no WiFi. Although the high-speed data is a nice thing to have, there was really no need for e-mail and Toshiba G710 should include just fine when it comes to messaging.

At 115 x 62 x 13mm and 130 grams in weight, the G710 is quite similar to that of the competition, although a little thinner than most. The 1050 mAh battery, the player G710 for up to 3 hours of talk time and 8 days of standby. Windows Mobile is rather the power of brain cells quickly enough, so that the life of the battery on the G710 is not as good as some of the non-compete.

The 2.46 inch with 320 x 240 pixel screen is pretty standard for this type of aircraft, even if the lack of a touch screen can be irritating, if equipped with a satellite navigation package. On the back of page 2 is a megapixel camera, G710 and memory expandable supports microSD It also comes with Bluetooth phones USB 1.1 and 1.2 connectivity.

No specific release date is known, but we understand that the G710 will be available in early March for about € 220 / £ 150 before taxes, and all holders of subsidies.

With 240 x 320 pixel display, and the rumor is that the LG KS20 is 12.8mm thick which would make the handset around 92 x 55mm when viewed from the front. One slightly strange feature is the large expanse of plastic that appears to be underneath the screen.

LG KS20 expected in the shops by Christmas, although pricing and availability are not known at present.

Samsung SGH-P520 Elegant Touch Screen Phone

Closely related to the Samsung F300, the Samsung F500 is a dual-face multimedia 3G phone with a “multimedia side” and “phone side”. However, the SGH-F500 is much more than a standard music phone.. this handset is designed to play videos and, optionally, receive digital TV broadcasts (according to Samsung).

The Samsung F500 receives digital TV transmissions using the DVB-H standard, as does the Samsung P910 and overdue Nokia N92. We don’t know if there will be a version of the SGH-F500 supporting the rival T-DMB platform, nor do we know if the DVB-H receiver is an add-on or will be included as standard in some F500 variants. (See our writeup on the Nokia N92 for a brief explanation of DVB-H).

Another unusual feature of the SGH-F500 is that it supports the DivX video codec, combined with a built-in audio player. This enables the Samsung F500 to play back MP3, AAC, WMA, DivX, MPEG4,H.264, WMV, WMDRM/MTP, DivX DRM, and OMA DRM media types. Yes, that’s a bit of an alphabet soup.. put it this way, the Samsung F500 is probably the most versatile media player we’ve seen to date.

Perhaps the SGH-F500 can be considered as the follow-on device from the Samsung P900 / P910 models, but it’s a much more elegant design. Samsung have designed the F500 so that it can be placed on a flat surface, rather that the P900/P910 which is a handheld device.

Samsung SGH-F500 Ultra Video Review

The Sony Ericsson K610im is an i-mode version of the lightweight K610i 3G phone. It’s an incredibly light 3G phone, weighing just 89 grams, but it still manages to fit in a 176×220 pixel display, 2 megapixel camera and Memory Stick Micro expandable memory.

As far as we know, this is Sony Ericsson’s first i-mode phone and it’s one of only a few 3G i-mode phones around. And since the K610im is based on one of the hottest 3G phones of 2006, then it’s an attractive option for i-mode users.

The K610im is almost identical to the K610, except it comes with a dedicated i-mode key and carries a discrete “i” on the back of the handset. It’s a “Carbon Black” phone, rather than the “Urban Silver” and “Evening Red” K610i. All other technical characteristics are identical.

Whether or not you actually want i-mode is a different matter – some markets have been more successful than others, and i-mode operators are still trying to find the “killer application” that will make i-mode indispensable. But, if it’s i-mode you’re after, then the K610im looks to be an excellent choice.

Sony Ericsson K610im i-mode Version

Samsung Z650i is a 3G sliding i-mode phone, and might well correctly guess that the SGH-Z650i comes with a QVGA (320×240 pixel display), a 2 megapixel camera and expandable memory (although unlike the long overdue or possibly cancelled Z600, this isn’t a smartphone).

As well as having 2100 MHz 3G support, the Samsung Z650i has tri-band 900/1800/1900 MHz GSM plus GPRS and EDGE data. Overall size is 102×52x16mm and the SGH-Z650i weighs 95 grams, and has 2.5 hours of talktime on 3G (or 4 hours on 2G) with up to 8 days standby time.

The Samsung Z650i is pretty lightweight for a 3G phone, and it still manages to pack a full set of features in, such as stereo Bluetooth, microSD expandable memory, a 2 megapixel camera with flash, an MP3/AAC player, web browser and email client and everything else you’d expect to find.

Samsung Z650i specification:

Network: GSM 900/1800/1900 + UMTS 2100
Data: GPRS + EDGE + UMTS (3G)
Screen: 240×320 pixels, 262k colours
Camera: 2 megapixels

Java: Yes
Battery life: 2.5 hours talk / 8 days standby

Since the Samsung SGH-Z650i is an i-mode phone, it will only be offered by i-mode carriers. At present we understand that Bouygues Telecom of France will be offering it, with no word of other carriers at present.

Samsung Z650i (SGH-Z650i)

The K618i’s display is only a 176×220 pixel unit, but this is an acceptable trade-off for the handset’s light weight and it will be good enough for most people. Overall, the K618i shows typically stylish Sony Ericsson design – it’s a smart looking device that is pretty unmistakable in its origins.

Network: GSM 900/1800/1900 + UMTS 2100
Data: GPRS + UMTS (3G)
Screen: 176×220 pixels, 262k colours
Camera: 2 megapixels
Size: Coompact candy bar, 102×45x17mm / 89 grams
Bluetooth: Yes
Memory card: Memory Stick Micro
Infra-red: No
Polyphonic: Yes
Java: Yes
Battery life: Not specified

It’s just that it’s yet another variant of the K610i in addition to the V630 and K610im. The difference between these handsets is cosmetic – they’re just available for different carriers.

Sony Ericsson K618i Review

Sony Ericsson K610i is probably the lightest 3G phone to date, weighing just 92 grams – and yet it still packs in a substantial number of features.

The K610i comes with a 2 megapixel digital camera, 176×220 pixel display in 262,000 colours, a secondary camera for video calling, expandable memory using Sony Memory Stick Micro cards, a multimedia player (plus the same Disc2Phone software found in the Walkman series of handsets), web browser, email client and all the usual features you’d expect to find in this type of device.

The replacement for the K600 series, the confusingly named K610i is very similar to the 2G Sony Ericsson K750i, although it manages to be lighter than even the K750, which is in impressive feat.

Physically, the Sony Ericsson K610i measures 102×45x17mm, weighs 92 grams and has up to 7 hours talktime on GSM, 2.5 hours on 3G. On top of UMTS 2100, the K610i comes with GSM 900/1800/1900 support.

There are two colour combinations promised, Urban Silver and Evening Red. In terms of design, the K610i is a classic Sony Ericsson handset, featuring a straightforward and pretty minimal layout on the front and a nicely designed back (the Sony Ericsson “dual front” concept). And as we said, it’s an impressive achievement to squeeze all of this into a 92 gram device, and it looks smart too.
