Mobile Phone Critiques

Palm Treo 680 – We have been discussing Palm Treo personal digital assistants in our reviews. The company never failed its customers in a single feature. With companies like Nokia, Samsung, Motorola and specially Sony Ericsson coming up with cell phone with ‘all in one’ multimedia capabilities, Palm Treo continues its trend to provide users the best for the minimum price. The 680 by Palm Treo was announced in October 2006 and was released at the end of November. The device comes in traditional Palm Treo style. The available colors are graphite, crimson, arctic and copper. However graphite was sold a lot because it was the only color on the Cingular package.

Sony Ericsson W880i – The sleek and slim design always impresses the cell phone buyers. This gave rise to the competition to introduce the slimmest cell phone a company can manufacture. Sony Ericsson provided its version of slimmest cell phone with introduction of W880i. The slimmest candy bar ever produced by Sony Ericsson requires other than usual equipment for the measurement. The 9.4mm is hardly 70 grams in weight but still gives a good grip and feel comfortable in hands or with ears.

Nokia 5300 – During the first quarter of 2006, Sony Ericsson clearly dominated cell phone industry because of its music cell phones. The domination continued because there was no such true competitor. But later on we found famous manufacturers followed the trend and introducing music cell phones. Nokia released its 5300 to break down Sony Ericsson’s music cell phone market. 5300 looks a bit bulky with size measurements of 3.6 by 1.9 by 0.8 inches but its feather light with weight just above 3.5 ounces. The Xpress cell phone looks good in red/white or traditional black/white combinations. The slider functionality works perfect.

LG VX-8300 – LG has been manufacturing cell phones for many years and have really succeeded in giving tough time to companies of Nokia and Motorola caliber. With its Chocolate it even won the best cell phone design of 2005. Here we are about to review another master piece from LG, the VX8300. The cell phone shape is some what round and sleek. The physical measurements came out to be 3.58×1.93×0.92 inches and weight turned out as just below 4 ounces. It is the first 3G cell phone from LG.

Motorola V551 – Motorola has a trend of providing users with cell phones that are having high end features for a very low cost. The famous V series is just following the trend and today we are about to review V551, a cell phone which clearly outclassed every other cell phone in terms of its cost benefit ratio. The flip open V551 is a sleek colorful handset with perfect physical dimensions. The cell phone is externally blue and metallic combination color which looks really cool.

Samsung SGH-X700 – Samsung X series has come up with few handsets that left their mark on cell phone markets. X600, X100, and X210 and a lot more in the X series assembly line, were equipped with latest features as well as tested with new innovations. Today X700 is the handset we would be reviewing. The candy bar X-700 is somewhat similar to other cell phones like X620. The cell phone is sleek and slim and available in black and silver combination. The matt finish of X-700 makes it look more sophisticated and business class hand set.

Russell Coutier is an avid tech freak; specifically in the mobile industry. As common as cell phones are nowadays, so are spam and prank callers. Fight back with a reverse cell phone number lookup service and find out who’s calling.
