With a sleek stainless steel design, the Nokia 6301 phone launched today is not only stylish, but offers consumers seamless voice and data mobility across GSM cellular and WLAN networks via Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA) technology. The Nokia 6301 phone uses UMA technology to integrate the benefits of landline and a mobile phone, including seamless indoor coverage, sound quality and affordability.
After selling 500,000 units on its first weekend and then surpassing the 1 million mark after a sharp and controversial price cut a few weeks later the iPhone is projected to sell over 2 million units by the end of the year. The price, now $399, is thought to be low enough to appeal to holiday shoppers, putting it in the reach of more consumers. Bitten by the initial price drop, original buyers are scrambling to put together the paperwork to get themselves a $100 credit at the Apple store. The bitter taste, though, perhaps won't be washed out by the time Apple has their next hyped product, whatever that is.

"...the VX8600 is more than just looks; this is one of Verizon's better handsets, offering excellent call quality and a solid foundation of features and subscription services for the mobile-information savvy.
However, consumers should note that Verizon doesn't provide all the accessories needed out of the box for consumers to use all of the VX8600's features (namely its music playing features) right away..."

"...The TFT LCD screen displays all images perfectly, also allowing video playback and recording on the device. The 262k colour screen also means that all 2 megapixel images will be displayed in fantastic quality, and can be transferred between devices through the now standard Bluetooth. The E900 is a Tri band GMS 900 / 1800 / 1900 phone so it should be good for holiday travel plus it has data support with Edge capability..."

"...my experience with the SPL was completely opposite to that of the Lobster - it far exceeded my expectations.
I hadn't realised it included miniSD, which meant I could just pop in my (now unused) 2GB miniSD - fantastic. It includes AKU3, brilliant, as Compact Framework 2 applications become more numerous (including my own). Everyone who's seen the device has been impressed by it's styling, and the more than acceptable battery life (in my usage scenario) is the icing on the cake.
As I mentioned above, I have reservations about the keypad, but as the days have passed, I have become more familiar with the layout, and I'm finding that i'm missing the key I was aiming for much-much less, to the point that I am now feeling happy to be using the SPL as my everyday device. Of course, if I was a multi-tapper rather than a T9'er, I might not be so happy..."

"E-TEN recently announced the latest addition to its portfolio of Pocket PC phones, the creatively titled glofiish X500. The manufacturer claims the glofiish X500 is the thinnest Pocket PC phone in the world that incorporates WiFi and GPS functionality, and with a thickness of only 15.5mm (0.61"), it is hard to argue with that statement...

"Featuring a CarlZeiss lens, the Nokia N73 is one of the latest batch of premium Nokia Nseries camera smartphones, or as Nokia marketing people like to say, 'multimedia computers', originally launched last year. Back then they all featured G3/UMTS wireless broadband capability and a two megapixel camera, with video calling, plus various model-specific targeted enhancements, like motion video recording, iPod-like digital music player features, etc....

"While the pleasingly thin (0.5 inches) Pantech C120 qualifies as a low-end phone, it certainly doesn't feel cheap. Navigation is handled by a five-way navigational joystick which was pleasantly stiff; indeed, we never made selection errors. The phone sports a VGA camera, and the 1.5-inch, 120 by 120 pixel, 65,000-color screen looked merely adequate, with the low resolution making for blocky-looking text, while colors seemed a bit washed out....

"... find that the Treo 700p and 650 are just much more easier to operate. Even with some of the Treo's features ported over, Windows Mobile still can't match the one handed abilities and the simple elegance of the Palm PIM programs and general intuitiveness found in many Palm OS applications.
That said, the Treo 700wx is a very powerful smartphone. I have to say its the best Pocket PC device that I've ever used to date. Windows Mobile fans will find a lot to like with the Treo. Palm's customizations vastly improve the phone features and bring some cool and add some very useful functionality to Windows Mobile. The combination of a multi-tasking OS and a high speed data connection really let you tap into the power of mobile computing..."

"The Nokia 6233 is certainly a worthy successor to the 6230i. However, with the Eseries and Nseries keeping Nokia occupied these days, I feel that the S40 series of phones is dying a slow death. Although the 6233 has a lot going for it, I am baffled by the fact that it has less on-board memory than the Nokia 6131. Granted, it does come with a 64MB microSD card, but the tiny amount of on-board memory is still unacceptable by today's standards. Users are most likely to get a higher capacity card anyway, and in the end, business users who prefer bar phones might feel short changed.
In conclusion, I give the 6233 a Recommended rating, as it just does not pack enough punch to stand out amongst the rest of the S40 phones, unlike the 6230i or 6230 before it. If you need to make 3G video calls and prefer slimmer phones, the Sony Ericsson K610i....

"...the E62 is ahead of the pack for its price point. I was impressed to find the Symbian 9.1 OS was fully-equipped with applications designed to view, create and edit documents in Microsoft Office (including Powerpoint presentations), a feature not available on the much-hyped Motorola Q. The PDF reader was also a help, but let’s talk about the number one reason to buy an E62- complete mobile email support. Setup is a breeze, an email hot key provides one touch access, and a light at the top right corner of the E62 notifies of incoming emails. Though still not the ultimate combo of media, internet and productivity support, the E62 is a powerful contender even up against Blackberrys at double the price"
