Nokia 6267 Mid Range 3G Phone

As the same with V8, the Motorola RAZR2 V9 has a very large display 2.0″ with 240×320 pixel. Combined with touch screen and haptic/tactile feedback. It’s mean many of the V9’s function can be controlled from the external display. The 2.0 inch display on the RAZR2 V8 and V9 are the largest external display on any phone that ever seen before.

As RAZR2 V8, V9’s camera disappointed. It’s only have 2 megapixel with no autofocus or flash ans also the video has only low resolution 176×144 pixels. And the RAZR V9 feature video calling reveal only one camera for 3G. And we can not use video calls using external camera and screen.

The design phone is to be tough with stainless steel casing around the internal casis to make it strong and the external display has been coat to resist from scratching.

Nokia 2660 Elegant Budget Phone

Samsung SGH-U300 Slightly thinner which it D830 – U300 is right 9.6mm deeply compared with 9.9mm, the SGH-U300 also has a digital camera of 3 megapixel. However, U300 does not seem to have the extensible memory (although 70MB is built-in), which puts it in an unfavourable position above older compound.

In spite of the memory limited, the total devices on U300 are still pretty decent. There is of the 2.2 “principal display of the Pixel 240×320 with a smaller secondary on outside. U300 has a player of multi-media who can play fasten them MP3, AAC, WMA, WMDRM, H.263 and MPEG4 back (although the limited memory will be a factor here).

It is a device of the tri-band GSM 800/900/1800 with GPPS and EDGE. The SGH-U300 also support Bluetooth and connections of USB 2.0. If your search for a telephone of higher block and your primary consideration is as it thin is, then U300 is an attractive device. And in terms of glances, U300 is an elegant compound and very minimized which should draw some admiring glances.

Samsung SGH-U300 specification:
Network:GSM 900/1800/1900
Data:GPRS + EDGE
Screen:240×320 pixels, 262k colours
Camera:3 megapixels
Size:Slim clamshell, 100 x 51 x 10mm / weight tbc

However, the mean design of compound compromised its devices slightly, all both in terms of expansibility but also the RAZR-model fixed at the hand which could become irritating to employ after one moment.

Samsung SGH-U300 Ultra Edition 9.6 Review

Unlike conventional sliders with a simply up/down mechanism, the RIZR Z8 curves inwards so that it is more ergonomic to use, rather like a clamshell phone.

There’s a comprehensive multimedia player and stereo Bluetooth support. Motorola’s press department chose to illustrate the RIZR Z8’s multimedia capabilities by slapping on a picture of Johnny Depp for some reason.

Symbian is a little bit of an unusual choice for Motorola. Most of their recent smartphones, including the promising looking ROKR E6 have been Linux devices. Although Motorola have used Symbian in the past, we had almost assumed that they had dropped the operating system entirely.

Motorola RIZR Z8 Specification:
Network:GSM + UMTS
Data:GPRS + UMTS + HSDPA
Screen:240×320 pixels, 16m colours
Camera:2 megpixels
Size:Medium slider, Size/weight tbc
Bluetooth:Yes
Memory card:microSD
Infra-red:No
Polyphonic:Yes
Java:Yes
Battery life:Not specified

The RIZR Z8 is a 3G Symbian smartphone with HSDPA (up to 3.6Mbit/sec), 90Mb of internal memory expandable to 4GB using microSD cards, a 2 megapixel primary camera and an impressive maximum talktime of 5 hours while on 3G.

It’s hard to be enthusiastic about the Motorola RIZR Z8 though, because it’s really just a 3G version of the RIZR, and that’s just a RAZR clamshell phone.

Motorola RIZR Z8

Nokia 6085 is an inexpensive clamshell phone with expandable memory and an MP3 player. It’s a pretty disappointing mix of components that appear to have been thrown together.

Nokia have revise a fairly standard overall look that we’ve seen in other 6000 series clamhshells, and then added a low end 128×160 pixel display and VGA resolution camera. The Nokia 6085 comes with a microSD slot, FM radio, Bluetooth and an MP3 player and usefully it is a quad-band GSM phone.

The screen on the Nokia 6085 is a particular gripe – 128×160 pixels is just not good enough for any modern phone, although at least it is a TFT display so it should be sharp and clear. The VGA resolution camera seems hardly worh including.

Nokia 6085 specification:
Network: GSM 850/900/1800/1900
Data: GPRS + EDGE
Screen: 128×160 pixels, 256k colours
Camera: 0.3 megapixels
Size: Compact clamshell, 92×46x23mm / 84 grams
Bluetooth: Yes
Memory card: microSD
Infra-red: No
Polyphonic: Yes
Java: Yes
Battery life: 5 hours talk / 10 days standby

It’s quite a light phone – the Nokia 6085 weighs just 84 grams – and the quoted battery life is pretty good too, with up to 5 hours talktime and 10 days standby time.

The Nokia 6085 has some good features, but overall it looks like it has be thrown together from a set of components from other handsets. There’s nothing particularly inspiring or distinctive about the 6085, but if you’re looking for a low-cost, lightweight clamshell that can play music and you’re not too fussed about other features, then perhaps the 6085 will be what you are looking for.

Nokia 6085 Review

Carrying the XpressMusic name, the Nokia 5300 looks great, especially with the clever dedicated multimedia keys, but ultimately it’s a pretty standard handset roughly analogous to the Nokia 6131 clamshell. There’s a QVGA 240×320 pixel TFT display, a 1.3 megapixel camera, microSD memory expandable to 2Gb, Bluetooth, a stereo FM radio and an MP3 player in a package weighing 104 grams.

Unlike most previous 5000 series devices, the 5300 doesn’t appear to be ruggedised in any way. This marks a bit of a shift with the 5000 series towards “lifestyle” devices rather than rugged ones.

Overall, the Nokia 5300 measures 92×48x21mm and weighs 104 grams. Talktime is about 3 hours with up to 12 days standby time.

Nokia 5300 Xpress Music Phone

There is something slightly interesting about the Vodafone 710 which is that it’s made by Huawei Mobile of China, and it’s the first time we’ve seen a Huawei handset launched as a mainstream European phone.

Technical specification of the Vodafone 710 that is inspiring – it’s a 3G phone with a 176×220 pixel display, 1.3 megapixel camera and mini-SD removable memory. There’s an MP3 player, Bluetooth, a web browser and email client and the Vodafone 710 comes in at a reasonable 99 grams. It’s a fairly smart looking handset, and it looks like it’s not going to be expensive either with a 64Mb memory card in the box too.

Vodafone V710 specification:
Network: GSM 900/1800/1900 + UMTS 2100
Data: GPRS + UMTS (3G)
Screen: 176×220 pixels, 262k colours (main)
Camera: 1.3 megapixels (main)
Size: Medium clamshell Size tbc / 99 grams
Bluetooth: Yes
Memory card: mini SD
Infra-red: No
Polyphonic: Yes
Java: Yes
Battery life: 3 hours talk / 9 days standby

The Vodafone 710 is simply a cheap device from a third-tier Chinese manufacturer which will probably be perfectly acceptable as a cheap 3G phone, but you have to question Vodafone’s commitment to the 3G platform when this is the sort of thing they churn out.

Vodafone V710 the 3G Cellphone

LG’s VX9800 multimedia/communicator cellphone just got one of the highest forms of praise possible by a reviewer. Not much of a surprise, then, that MTR gives the VX9800 five out of five stars and their Editor’s Choice designation; the only real fault they can find with the phone itself is that the speakerphone doesn’t work with the clamshell closed.

That being said, everything else about this slightly-bulky-but-attractive transformer seems to work great, with the MP3 player rockin’ (even through the speakers), the 1.3 megapixel camera snapping impressive pics, and the lighted keyboard a “joy to use.” Throw in Bluetooth (no A2DP, though), EV-DO (no built in email client, though), and a 3-day-under-heavy-usage battery life (not swappable, though), and we’re kind of tempted to cheat on our Treo and snatch one up ourselves.
