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.

Noble Black Sony Ericsson W910i

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

The i-mate JAQ is otherwise known as the Inventec Mercury, sourced from a different Taiwanese firm from HTC. Although i-mate haven’t officially split from HTC, this new partnership follows O2’s move to source some of it’s Windows smartphones from manufacturers other than HTC, and comes against a background of HTC selling handsets under its own name for the first time.

It’s a Windows Mobile 5.0 device with a QWERTY keyboard, 320×240 pixel display and expandable memory and you’d be right. And you’d guess that because it’s an i-mate handset, it will actually be made by HTC and you’d be wrong.

The i-mate JAQ is a fairly large and heavy device at 160 grams and 122×71x22mm in size. And although the JAQ has a commendable 2.8″ display, it lacks WiFi or 3G which are two things you would expect to find in a device of this size. There’s no camera either, but that’s a less serious omission. On the plus side, the i-mate JAQ has quad-band GSM and EDGE and the full complement of Windows Mobile 5.0 applications.

It’s alright, we suppose, but the HTC S620 is more compact and certainly more attractive, and the Samsung i600 has more features. Overall, the i-mate JAQ seems to be a competent device rather than an exceptional one, and one that struggles to differentiate itself in what is becoming an increasingly crowded market.
