LG Dare

One of the most interesting fallouts of the Apple iPhone launch is the ever-growing trend of touch-screen phones. LG was one of the first manufacturers of this bunch with phones such as the LG Voyager and the LG Vu dazzling us with features that we couldn’t get on the iPhone, such as live mobile TV.Particularly with the hardware, LG Dare seems determined to differentiate itself from its iPhone competition, with helpful tactile feedback while typing, great handwriting recognition, video recording (in slow-mo, if you’d like) and even editing, and the beefed-up photo taking capabilities that a 3.2 megapixel camera and built-in flash provide. The basics aren’t too bad either, with a sturdy and bright screen, peppy EV-DO Rev A., expandable memory and an excellent 3.5mm headphone jack.

In short the LG Dare has an intuitive touch-screen interface, an advanced 3.2-megapixel camera, a full HTML browser, EV-DO Rev. A, and plenty of other powerful features. It also has excellent call quality.However, all is not sweet. The LG Dare’s touch interface has a slight learning curve. The smaller size of the Dare also results in a smaller space for the 3-inch-wide display. Though we were fine with it for most applications, but it deters us from enjoying the full HTML browser, since we have to do more scrolling than usual.

Nokia N85 review

If there is one thing Nokia has gotten right with the Nokia N85, it would be the look and feel of this Nseries mobile phone. As you’d expect, N85 is the latest in the Nseries, and it is a high-end multimedia-rich phone. In many ways it’s similar to the N95, last year’s hit phone which set the benchmark for features. The N85 comes with many of the same features as the N95 but in a much thinner form factor. Yes, we simply love the slimmer design! Those of you who prefer your phones thin and feature-rich will agree with us!Design wise, the curved edges of N85 help to accentuate the impression of the phone’s smaller footprint in the hand. There’s a 2.6-inch QVGA screen, with the key difference being an OLED panel. OLED displays, which have better screen legibility while consuming less power, have been used before on Nokia’s S40 models. So it’s good that Nokia is now implementing this in the higher-end Nseries too!Like every other phones available today, N85 offers an MP3 player and a video player. However, what’s different is it also offers access to Nokia’s own Music Store, with direct access to the store’s features provided by its dedicated media buttons. The music store enables you to download music over the air, meaning you can download your music wherever and whenever you want! So convenient I can die!There is a 3.5″ headphone jack that supports virtually all headphones on the market, while the phone’s speakers produce surprisingly good quality sound. N85 supports full 30fps recording and not surprisingly, the video quality is excellent.

In addition to music and video, the N85 also comes with Nokia’s N-Gage capability. This simply means you can download and play stunning 3D games. Truly, the Nokia N85 was built with gaming in mind, with dedicated gaming keys and superb crystal-clear display screen. N-Gage games are popular these days, and the platform has recently attracted some major publishers to jump on board. You can now choose from award-winning games such as The Sims and Worms, with more games becoming available soon.

In conclusion, the N85 is not a major upgrade from the previous N95 models, at least not in terms of features. But if you are looking to replace them with a more stylish handset, the N85 is the one. The good things with N85 is its excellent QVGA OLED display, full set of connectivity features, the bundled 8GB microSD card, and the stylish design.

HTC Touch HD, Touch 3G and Touch Viva

HTC launched three new phones recently - HTC Touch HD, Touch 3G and Touch Viva. The priciest of the three, and probably one of the priciest of all available phones, is the HTC Touch HD.

The HTC Touch HD has a 3.8-inch, 480×800 screen, plus other fancy specs such as a 5-megapixel camera, 288MB RAM and a Quallcomm MSM7201a 528MHz processor. All these hardware comes together to bring a nice and smooth feel to TouchFLO that’s faster than the Touch Diamond, Touch Pro and even the Touch 3G. No glitches or hiccups when scrolling horizontally through the menus.Anyway, inputting text with the onscreen keyboard wasn’t as good as the iPhone’s, but was still OK simply because of the huge screen.

That 3.8-inch screen is excellent. The HD will be a pretty good competitor to full screen touchscreen phones such as the Instinct and Sony Ericsson Experia.Meanwhile, HTC Touch 3G is slightly taller and thinner than its predecessor the original HTC Touch. The main improvements of the 3G version include a 3.2 megapixel fixed-focus camera, 3G with HSDPA, as well as 192 MB of RAM. HTC Touch 3G also features the newest version of the TouchFLO UI – the TouchFLO 3D and GPS (with A-GPS support).

The quad-band HTC Touch 3G has a 2.8-inch display of QVGA resolution and runs on a 528 MHz Qualcomm CPU. It also has Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB and a microSD card slot.The HTC Touch Viva which is mainly for developing markets, is also pretty cool. It runs on a 2D version of TouchFLO that’s amazingly fast, but keeps all the functionality of the original HTC Touch intact.

Looking like a simplified version of the TouchFLO 3D this interface is probably suited for working on PocketPCs with lower resolution screens and not so powerful CPUs.

Nokia N96 Bruce Lee Edition

Believe it or not, martial arts legend Bruce Lee still influences our world greatly despite dying in his prime long time ago. Nokia pays homage to this great man by releasing a special edition of its N96, known as the N96 Bruce Lee Edition. Perhaps, this is one of the thing tougher than Chuck Norris!The phone’s release in Hong Kong is complete with Bruce Lee’s image on the phone itself and other swag in the box. While the specifications of the Nokia N96 remain the same, the bundle includes several stylish accessories as a Bruce Lee doll, a wrist strap engraved with his name and a key holder that takes the shape of nunjaku.Anyway, looks like the N96 back panel imprint of the Bruce Lee face and signature is all that distinguishes the special edition from the normal edition, in terms of design. Still, gladly there is some Bruce Lee content preloaded on the phone such as a theme and some rare photos of the legendary actor.There is a Flash website dedicated to promote the Nokia N96 Bruce Lee edition. Check out the website if you are interested.

The Bruce Lee Nokia N96 costs 8,788 Chinese yuan (about US$1,286), while the normal version retails for just US$600. If you have the money and do not mind the big price difference, drop a visit at Nokia online shop.

Motorola Krave ZN4

The new Motorola Krave ZN4 for Verizon Wireless offers the same basic design that resembles a Star Trek communicator, but it adds more features while offering innovative design tweaks to an intuitive and easy-to-use touch interface.

The sexy Motorola Krave ZN4 makes a great little portable TV, and incorporates some genuinely innovative touch-screen technology. Motorola have taken the Motorola MING concept a stage further and are aiming it at a market other than China. This is a good news for us. But in the other hand, Motorola KRAVE ZN4 is aimed at Verizon’s CDMA network in the US and anyone else who’s interested will just have to do without.


There are some problems of Motorola Krave ZN4. The bar for touch-screen phones has been raised considerably recently. With the iPhone, the LG Dare, the Samsung Instinct, the T-Mobile G1, and the BlackBerry Storm out there, just having a touch screen isn’t enough anymore. A handset needs to offer fresh software, too. And the Krave’s software feels old—functional but stale.

At first glance, the Motorola KRAVE ZN4 looks like just another touchscreen phone, but with an added plastic cover. But the clear plastic cover isn’t exactly what it appears to be, because the cover itself is touch-sensitive and has almost-invisible electronic circuitry embedded in it. This dual-touch technology is certainly very clever.

The KRAVE ZN4 presents a full menu on a large 2.8″ 240 x 400 pixel display, but close the lid and the menu options get much simpler and the effective display shrinks down to 240 x 320 pixels. So, most basic operations can be carried out with the cover closed. Another clever feature is that the “M” logo on the cover acts as a speaker when the ZN4 is open.

Other features include a 2MP camera, VCast Mobile TV (MediaFLO), HTML browser, EVDO Rev A, Bluetooth, microSDHC memory card slot, and a microUSB port.

Pros: Responsive touchscreen interface. Cool design with the clear flip and invisible wiring. Great navigation features.

Cons: User interface feels half-baked. Some static during calls. Reception problems with V Cast Mobile TV service. Lousy Web browser with strange pointer tool. Aging messaging and music playback apps. Read More...

Samsung Pixon/M8800

Samsung’s 8 megapixel shooter known as the Pixon or M8800 is now official.

The M8800 is featuring the following specifications crammed into a body that measures just 13.8mm in thickness.

* 3.2″ touch screen display
* 8 megapixel camera with auto focus
* Face Detection technology
* GeotaggingSamsung have produced an email flyer with some pretty detailed pictures but they don’t add much to the specifications that we have already given except to add that the M8800 Pixon has face detection, shake reduction, high-speed video capture and surround sound.

Other camera functions include a 16x zoom, although digital zooms aren’t worth the circuit board they’re printed on. There’s a dual-power LED flash, which is good for those dark nights in pubs and clubs. To view the pictures, there’s a photo browser that uses the built-in accelerometer to automatically rotate images to the correct orientation.

Video is supported by “virtual 5.1 channel” surround sound, which frankly sounds very suspect to us. The M8800 is controlled with an 3.2-inch touchscreen, in a frame only half of an inch thick.

T Mobile G1 “GooglePhone”

The iPhone has dominated the smartphone landscape for more than a year. But now, Apple is about to meet a challenger in Google that could halt — or slow — its progress.

The T-Mobile G1 is the first smartphone to use the Android platform announced last year by Google and a number of other partners. Based on Linux, Android is an open source project that has hundreds of developers who work on different applications any phone utilizing Android can use.

T-Mobile and Google have partnered to bring us the Andriod handset, but the G1 integrates Google's online services into the operation of the handset, which will probably pose a direct challenge to both Windows Smartphones and the Apple iPhone.The G1 is being made by HTC, who has a long history in the market of Windows Mobile devices and has had partnerships with T-Mobile and several other carriers.

The G1 is very similar to a typical Windows smartphone in terms of specification - there’s a large 3.2″ 320 x 480 pixel touchscreen display, a 3.2 megapixel fixed-focus camera, 3G and 3.5G support, WiFi, GPS (plus a digital compass), microSD expandable memory, Bluetooth 2.0 and USB 2.0 connectivity.

The main functions are controlled with a trackball (a little like modern BlackBerry devices), plus there’s a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Annoyingly, the T-Mobile G1 has one of HTC’s combined USB/audio sockets which means that you cannot use a standard headset without an adaptor. It’s quite a heavy device at 158 grams.

The processing power of the G1 clocks in at 528Mhz and features a Qualcomm MSM7201A which has 192MB of RAM. This specification is very similar to HTC’s other Windows devices.

The G1 also support GPRS and EDGE data, and has both 802.11 b and g WiFi. The expected maximum talk time on 3G is around the 6 hour mark and has a whopping 16 day stand by time, partly due to the large 1150 mAh battery.

Blackberry Pearl Flip 8220

RIM’s first clamshell phone, the BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 which comes in black or red, measures 3.9-inches high by 1.9-inches wide by 0.6-inch deep and weighs 3.5 ounces.

It is a quad-band GSM phone with GPRS and EDGE data plus WiFi connectivity. It features a 65,536-color, 128×160 pixel external display and front-facing 2-megapixel camera, while you get a 65,536-color, 240×320-pixel TFT display on the inside.

Besides, BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 also includes multimedia player plus of course the messaging and personal information management tools that BlackBerry devices are famous for.As part of the Pearl series, you get the SureType keyboard (groan) and trackball navigator. The BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 also comes equipped with a 3.5mm headphone jack and an external microSD expansion slot.

The Pearl Flip 8220 offers true world roaming, a speakerphone, smart dialing, and background-noise cancellation. Wireless options include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP support.

The Pearl Flip 8220 doesn’t support GPS (perhaps there will be a 8230 in the future that may do), although it does have a mapping application built-in and can talk to a GPS accessory via Bluetooth.

Supported e-mail solutions include BlackBerry Enterprise, Microsoft Exchange, IMB Lotus, Novell GroupWise as well as POP3 and IMAP4 accounts. There’s also an attachment viewer for Word, Excel, PowerPoint files, PDFs, and JPG images.

Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte

Nokia has just announced a new addition to the Arte series, the Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte, which is made from carbon fibre, titanium, polished glass and stainless steel to exude an unprecedented level of class and finesse.

The Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte, is a slight upgrade to the existing 8800 Arte comes with a useful memory upgrade, now featuring 4GB of internal memory. Until now, there was the original variant in black metal and the Sapphire Arte with a gem in the D-pad and genuine leather on the front and back.

The Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte is priced at €1100 (around £900 or $1600) before tax and subsidy. This is a phone that will still be very expensive even if you can get a carrier discount on it.Feature-wise, the new Carbon Arte is absolutely identical to the previous two models, and the only improvement is that the integrated memory is now 4GB instead of 1GB.

The sales package includes a matching Bluetooth headset and desk stand plus a “story booklet” to tell you about the Carbon Arte’s design story.

The 8800 Carbon Arte is a 3G phone with a multimedia player, 2″ QVGA screen and a 3.2 megapixel camera. The Carbon Arte is actually quite useful as a communication device.

Custom ringtones and themes that change throughout the day complement the design of the 8800 Carbon Arte to make the whole experience very impressive. One nice touch is that the Carbon Arte comes with a special coating to help reduce fingerprints and smudges.

LG KS360

LG will soon offer a new handset for UK’s mobile users, the KS360, a fairly unremarkable looking phone at first glance, looks like a pretty standard slider phone when you first see it. But the unique selling proposition here is that the slide-out keypad has a full QWERTY arrangement rather than a standard number pad.

The KS360, with 102 x 51 x 17mm in size, has horizontal 2.4-inch screen and 240 x 320 pixel screen resolution, and underneath which is the slide-out QWERTY keyboard and the host of other keys and peripheral ports.LG KS360 is targeted towards youngsters who mostly use their mobile phones for texting, emailing and social networking.

The keyboard on the KS360 is interesting for a couple of reasons. On the positive side, the key spacing is very good which should help when composing messages. On the negative side, the layout is a little more creative than usual - the space bar is where the V and B keys usually are, so the bottom row of keys is split.

The new LG also comes with an accelerometer as well as the following features: tri-band GSM connectivity (900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz) with GPRS and EDGE, a 2 Megapixel camera with fixed focus and video recording, Music player with support for MP3, AAC, AAC+ and eAAC+, FM Radio, Bluetooth v2.0 with A2DP, MMS capabilities, WAP browser, Instant Messaging, email (POP3, IMAP4, SMTP and Microsoft Exchange), USB, only 15MB of internal memory and microSD card support for up to 4GB.

Samsung SGH-i780

Samsung i780 is one of the few recent models of the manufacturer, running on the Professional edition of the Windows Mobile 6 Operating System.

Samsung boasts of having some of the slimmest mobile phones in the world. The company has obviously applied its know-how to this i780 as it is a mere 12.9mm thick.

It has a large touch-sensitive display with resolution of 320 x 320, but yet utilizes the slim candybar form-factor with a full hardware QWERTY-arranged keyboard. The LCD takes up most of the front of the handheld.

The keypad buttons are longish in shape and well-spaced out with good tactile feedback. It makes for very good thumb typing, as good as what you’d find on Treo and BlackBerry devices.Samsung is innovative with the navigation method: there is no D-pad, joystick, or even trackball. There is a touchpad as in a portable computer, through which you must sweep a finger to control an on-screen pointer and press it to confirm. If this method is not your favorite, it can be turned into a 'virtual 4-way controller and in addition, the 2.55 320×320 pixels touch screen and the stylus are present, of course.

Samsung i780 supports triband GSM/GPRS/EDGE at 900/1800/1900 MHz and single-band UMTS/HSDPA at 2100MHz. The connectivity side passes the test with WiFi of 802.11b/g and Bluetooth 2.0+EDR. The long-rumored GPS is indeed included, which is fast becoming a standard on high-end smartphones.

CNET Asia Reviews:

The good: Attractive price; good QWERTY keyboard; convenient shortcuts; slim design; extra battery included.

The bad: Square screen may not work well with third-party programs; optical joystick not as fast as regular directional pad; bundled GPS app not optimized.

The bottom line: Though not perfect, the i780 is an excellent choice for those who want the most features in a sub-S$1,000 PDA-phone.

Motorola ZN200

Motorola latest mid-range slider, the ZN200, has shown its face on the FCC pages recently.

This handset sporting such specs as a 2 megapixel camera with 8x digital zoom and video recording capability, Bluetooth, 2.5mm audio jack, microSD card slot, media player and built in FM radio. unlike the 5 megapixel Kodak shooter lavished on the MotoZINE ZN5, however a 2 megapixel camera will still take the images a user needs.

The ZN200 only brings dual-band GSM (850/1900MHz) to the table, however, which hints towards at either T-Mobile or AT&T Mobility here in the U.S. as possible carriers.Unfortunately that's about it spec wise as no other specs were mentioned about the MoroZINE ZN200 apart from the slight references to possible multiple audio and video formats, but as multimedia recording and playback was expected anyway on the ZN200 it's not that much of a surprise to see mention of video/audio support.
