Parting Shots: LG Chocolate 3
Added on 2008-09-05 15:51:00
by Marianne Schultz
 Our review of the LG Chocolate 3 is done! We liked its increased internal storage, the ease of use of its music player software, and its battery life when playing music and browsing the web. We didn't like the new flip factor at all, preferring the slick slider style of its predecessors, nor did we like its poor talk time battery life. Right now, we think the Chocolate 3 is priced a little higher than it's really worth and isn't a massive upgrade over the Chocolate 2. Read our full review here for all the details.

Accessorize Me: V-Moda Vibe Duo Headphone Review
Added on 2008-03-10 14:53:00

 For those who have an iPhone (read review) you know that your selection of compatible headphones is pitifully weak. I'm not talking about using any pair of 3.5mm headphones here, I mean if you want headphones that provide high quality audio for music, a working microphone for calls and a button for both call and music playback functionality you don't have a lot to choose from. If you walk into an Apple store your choices, aside from Apple's own headphones, will be between ungainly and messy extensions that allow you to use any headphone and the V-Moda Vibe Duo. The latter will certainly appeal to many, but you might want to think twice about it. Read on for our reasons.

T-Mobile HotSpot@Home Review
Added on 2007-08-16 14:26:00
by Richard Baguley
 When is a cell phone not a cell phone? When it makes calls over a WiFi connection. That's the promise of T-Mobile's new HotSpot@Home service; for an extra $9.99 a month on top of your existing phone bill, you get unlimited calls using your home WiFi connection. That could be a huge draw for those looking to replace a home phone with a cell phone, and it also works at T-mobile hotspots on the road; a big plus for frequent travelers. Here's what we found when we tested it out...

T-Mobile Wing review goes live
Added on 2007-06-06 13:21:00
by Randall Bennett
 Our review of the T-Mobile Wing just hit the main site, and our tests found some pretty interesting results. The phone actually just took the crown as the top rated phone in our tests because the battery life is absolutely stellar.
14 hours of talk time. 10 and a half hours of music playback. Nine hours of web browsing.
Not kidding.
The battery life may be stellar, but anyone looking for an excellent camera might want to look elsewhere. Despite spec'ing at two megapixels, we found that the camera didn't beat the 1.3-megapixel cameras in either the Motorola Q or T-Mobile Dash.
Put the bad camera with a seemingly laggy interface and you might want to give the phone a go in person before you plunk down that cash. This is the first phone we've tested with WinMo 6, and it does sport the same 200MHZ processor as other HTC devices, so we're not sure if it's T-Mobile's custom software lagging the device or if WinMo 6 is just heavier. Either way, read the full review here.

Mobile Burn Reviews Nokia N76
Added on 2007-06-04 01:15:00
by Tanya Palta
 The folks over at Mobileburn were able to get their grubby hands on the Razr look alike Nokia N76 and had mixed feelings about it. The Phone was appreciated for its slim ergonomics and clamshell design however it did suffer from a poor battery life. The reviewer also felt that the interface left much to be desired.

All About Symbian Hands On With P1i
Added on 2007-05-18 08:59:00
by Alfredo Padilla
 Sony Ericsson announced the newest Symbian UIQ smart phone in its P-Series lineup just a couple of weeks ago. GSM Arena did a review ASAP, but now we have the second hands on with the device from All About Symbian's Rafe Blandford. There's some good stuff in there, including a completely different opinion about the keyboard than GSM Arena had (Rafe likes it, GSM hates it). We have to admit that seeing these reviews is causing some serious overseas envy as the lack of 850 Mhz GSM and North America 3G means we probably won't see the P1i on our shores any time soon.

GSMArena Reviews the Sony Ericsson P1i
Added on 2007-05-09 12:19:00
by Alfredo Padilla
 Well, it seems like only yesterday that the Sony Ericsson P1i and we already have a review. Wait... it was yesterday. Anyhow, the folks over at GSM Arena have moved quick like a cat and posted the first review of the P1i that we've seen anywhere. The verdict: it's the best UIQ phone out there right now, but they hate the keyboard. The keyboard on the P1i is the same dual use one as that found on the M600, and it seems to be one that you either love or hate. Not that it matters for those of us in North America as Sony Ericsson has again snubbed us by leaving out the 850 band and U.S. 3G.

Pocket Lint Reviews Nokia N95
Added on 2007-05-01 02:46:00
by Tanya Palta
 Pocket Lint has done an in-depth review of the Nokia N95 and the phone impresses with its 5MP camera,Wi-Fi connectivity, 3G, HSDPA and GPS abilities! However the lack of QWERTY Keyboard bummed them out and they actually call the phone "Jack of all trades master of none". Ouch that got to hurt Nokia's feelings!

Dear Diary, the HTC Vox S710 is my BFF ♥
Added on 2007-04-28 01:13:00
by Rusty Weiss
 A member of Pocketnow.com is offering their thoughts on the HTC Vox S710 by posting a journal of sorts, reviewing the device with daily updates.
The blogger, Brandon Miniman, was recently selected for the Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) award in the Mobile Devices realm. As such, he is very qualified to make a good, solid assessment of the S710.
The Vox S710 sports a couple of firsts in the mobile industry. First off, it is the first to test the proverbial market waters with the Windows Mobile 6 platform. Secondly, it is the first smartphone to be laced with a slide-out keyboard.
The S710, as was adeptly pointed out by Miniman, is a very non-descript device on the surface. That is, until people take notice with the keyboard, and the platform.
We are looking forward to some more insight on this very intriguing device.

Mobile Burn Reviews Samsung UPStage
Added on 2007-04-16 23:40:00
by Tanya Palta
 The uber cool Samsung UPStage cell phone was reviewed by Mobile Burn and failed to impress! While the UPStage was appreciated for its chic design and music capabilities, however it fails when it comes to the bigger picture! Display was a disappointment and the keypad was cramped. The review calls the phone "tedious" and gives it a "not recommended" tag! Ouch that has to hurt and my sympathies to Samsung!
