Review of the Samsung Omnia II
Unlike in the movies, mobile phone sequels tend to actually be an improvement from the original. In general the phone maker will take all feedback, both positive and negative, and take that information into consideration when making its successor. Only in very rare circumstances will the successors come out worse than the first. So this [...]
Hands-on Review of the Samsung Moment
Motorola and HTC have been looked at as the frontrunners in the race for Android supremacy. However, in the course of a month, Samsung has made its fair contribution to the Android fans by introducing two new handsets: the Behold II and the Moment. I had the pleasure of reviewing both these units in succession [...]
Nokia N900 review, part 1. First impressions. Things I really liked
Yesterday, around lunchtime, my test model of Nokia N900 arrived at the door.
And, with a few hours of sleep interrupt, I’ve been playing with it ever since. For about 15 hrs. now. So I think it’s time to put it away for a while, and share some first impressions I got from playing [...]
Review of Samsung Highlight for T-Mobile
It’s easy to determine that Samsung has had a large amount of success with Touchwiz, its own brand of touchscreen OS, and that is precisely why it keeps cranking out several new handsets that come included with Touchwiz.
The Samsung Highlight T749 is one such phone. On T-Mobile and sporting the same Touchwiz UI as its [...]
HTC Touch Diamond 2 review, video
As it is clear from the name, HTC Touch Diamond 2 is the next generation of a popular HTC Touch Diamond handset.
And it’s a pretty impressive update, with a new smoother TouchFlo 3D interface, more responsive touchscreen, 5 megapixel camera, bigger and better 3.2” WVGA (480×800 px) display.
For now HTC Touch [...]
Verizon Wireless Network Extender Review
Femtocells have been around for at least a couple years, but only now are they becoming mainstream. While femtocells are not necessarily a perfected technology yet, they are certainly convincing wireless carriers that the benefits far outweigh any negatives.
Verizon is one of those carriers that has been convinced. As such, the company with the most [...]
Samsung S8300 UltraTouch / Tocco review
Samsung UltraTouch S8300 (known as Samsung Ultra Tocco in U.K), is heading for the shops right about now, so I think it is a good time to give this handset a closer look.
Samsung Ultra Touch has quite an interesting mix within it – 8 megapixel camera, full touchscreen interface and physical T9 keypad.
It [...]
T-Mobile Samsung Memoir review
It is a time for rejoicing in North America as Samsung has officially kicked off the era of high-res cameraphones with the brand new Memoir, released on T-Mobile Feb 25, which features an 8 MP camera.
What does this mean for the mobile phone industry? Up until now, phones have featured sub-par cameras with okay quality.
Since [...]
AT&T Samsung Propel Review
The smartest thing AT&T could do this holiday season was launch a bunch of new phones to fill the gaping holes in its current lineup. In Exhibit A we find that AT&T had no text-centric phones besides smartphones, and it appears that this past month the lightbulb turned on over the company’s head, and it [...]
Nokia 7210 Supernova review
Part of Nokia’s 2008 fashionable line-up of phones, the Nokia 7210 Supernova is a slim candybar that became available in September, in two color versions: Vivid Blue (the one I’m reviewing) and Bubble Gum Pink.
Save for the yet unreleased Nokia 7100 Supernova, the 7210 is the cheapest Supernova phone to date and also [...]
