Motorola MOTO Q Review

Laptopmag reviews the Motorola MOTO Q and says: “Just like Verizon Wireless’ silver and black versions, Sprint’s MOTO Q measures a very slim 0.5 inches thin and weighs a mere 4.1 ounces, but it sports a dark-gray color scheme. We prefer Verizon’s black MOTO Q, which has more of a rubberized feel, but this device is […]

Samsung Upstage Review for Sprint

Mobileburn reviews the Samsung Upstage for Sprint and says: “From a purely aesthetic standpoint, the UpStage is a beautiful thing. It is compact, at only 104mm x 44mm x 11mm (4.1″ x 1.7″ x .4″) in size, and feels as solid as a rock in terms of construction. This, of course, in spite of its […]

LG Fusic (LX550) Review

Mobileburn’s review of the LG Fusic says: “The LG Fusic - (LX550), housed in a clamshell type design, has very smooth and clean-looking lines reminiscent of many Asian handsets. Dressed throughout with a pearlescent sheen, the Fusic shows off it dynamics with the ability to change its identity at any time. LG offers Fusic users […]

Nokia 5300 XpressMusic Review

GsmArena reviews the Nokia 5300 XpressMusic and says: ”At first glance Nokia 5300 failed to impress us with its design and the materials used for its body. In fact we think that the white color and matt plastic with rubber elements make it look cheap. It’s not among the slimmest devices either.
But armed with the highly […]

Nokia 6133 Review

PCMag reviews the Nokia 6133 and says: “The Nokia 6133 practically glows with a soft European elegance. It’s made from velvety black soft-touch plastic with chrome-like, silvery interior and accents. The device is also much slimmer (3.6 by 1.9 by 0.8 inches, 4 ounces) and less clunky than the 6102, though slightly heavier. You open the […]

Samsung Trace SGH-T519 Review

InfosyncWorld reviews the Samsung Trace and says: “The Samsung Trace is supermodel thin, yet it packs in a 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, and memory expansion. Philip Berne takes the T519 off the runway for a real-world road test.
Pros:
The screen is fantastic, and the phone itself is remarkably slim and light. Impressive number of features packed into […]

Samsung t309 Review

LaptopMag has a review of the Samsung t309 and says: “With its antenna-free design and two-tone black-and-charcoal body, the three-ounce t309 makes a good first impression. Open this clamshell and you’re greeted with a nicely spaced dialpad and a 65,000-color display that’s fairly easy to read. The screen doubles as a viewfinder for the reasonably sharp […]

LG CG225 Review

Cnet reviews the LG CG225 and says: 
“The good: The LG CG225 offers clear call quality, a simple VGA camera, and world roaming in a compact, unassuming design.
The bad: The LG CG225’s volume level for regular and speakerphone calls is somewhat low, the inner display has a low resolution, and there’s no self-portrait mirror.
The bottom line: […]

Motorola RAZR V3m Review - MotoRazr

PCMag reviews the Motorola RAZR V3m and says: “The Motorola RAZR V3m takes two steps forward and one big step backward from the V3c model. The microSD memory card lets you transfer music and photos to and from the phone using a PC-based card reader. The phone also has a WMA music player capable of playing […]

LG AX390 Review - Alltel

Cnet reviews the LG AX390 and says: “The LG AX390 is a pretty basic flip phone for Alltel Wireless. It measures 1.8 by 3.3 by 0.9 inches and weighs 3.2 ounces. It has an external backlit display with a color filter that displays information such as battery and signal strength, time, and caller ID, plus […]

Nokia E62 Review - Cingular

Slashphone reviews the Nokia E62 and says: “At a slim 0.7 inches, the Nokia E62 is thin enough to stash in a pocket, and its wide, high-resolution screen displays 16 million colors, making it an excellent choice for media playing and internet browsing. Video was crystal-clear, and going back and forth between web pages was especially […]

Samsung A870 Review

PhoneArena has a review of the Samsung A870 and says: “The Samsung A870 is a new and inexpensive phone available from Verizon Wireless. It is similar to previous Samsung phones, such as the A670 and A890, but is unique because it is a Tri-Mode phone that also supports Bluetooth. That means it will work with […]

Verizon Wireless CDM-8945 Review

PCMag reviews the Verizon CDM-8945 and says: “The underpowered Verizon Wireless 8945 makes clear calls, but its features don’t measure up well against its competition’s. Given its hefty price, we can’t recommend this phone. The 4-ounce 8945 is moderately handsome, looking like a 3.5 by 1.9 by 0.9-inch slab of obsidian. The plastic case feels […]

Sanyo SCP-2400 Review - Sprint

Laptopmag reviews the Sanyo SCP-2400 and says: “Targeted toward parents concerned about their children’s safety—not to mention shockingly high phone bills—the Sanyo SCP-2400 offers a lot of versatility for a very reasonable price. Sprint’s free parental control software lets you set which numbers this clamshell can dial, as well as which numbers your kids can […]

Motorola ic402 Review - Nextel

Infosyncworld reviews the Motorola ic402 and says: “The Motorola ic402 is basically the “lite” version of Nextel’s first hybrid CDMA/iDEN phone, the Motorola ic402. However, it doesn’t feel light by any means–its 4.4-ounce body is almost an inch thick and quite bulky. Unlike many phones offered by Nextel, the ic402 is not rugged, and Motorola […]

MSN reviews the LG AX245 and says: “The LG AX245 for Alltel is a very affordable, high-quality option.

Motorola W315 Review

A user review at Epinions says this about the Motorola W315: “The Motorola W315 is a low cost phone with limited features. There are a few birds and whistles, but no too many. Surprisingly many customers want a phone just like this because all they want to do with it is to make phone calls.
The […]

Motorola SLVR L7 Review

Mobileburn reviews the Motorola SLVR L7 and says: “Motorola’s SLVR L7 is a very thin phone, even if it is not the thinnest available. It measures 114mm x 49mm x 12mm (4.5″ x 1.9″ x .5″) in size, and slips perfectly in just about any pocket or purse. In spite of its thinness, the SLVR […]

Samsung SGH-D807 Review

PCWorld reviews the Samsung SGH-D807 and says: “It’s no secret that when it comes to cell phones, thin is in. The Samsung SGH-d807 is definitely in: This slider-style standard cell phone is only slightly thicker than the company’s supersvelte t509.
Like the t509, the d807 is slightly boxy. Measuring 3.9 by 2.1 by 0.6 inches and weighing […]

Cnet reviews the Motorola RAZR V3i and concludes: 
“The good: The Motorola Razr V3i is an attractive slim cell phone with an admirable list of features.
The bad: The Motorola Razr V3i’s iTunes player has too many restrictions, and the phone’s call quality and music player performance could be improved. Also, we were hoping for EDGE compatibility.
The […]

Nokia 6103 Review

Mobiledia reviews the Nokia 6103 and says: “Overall the Nokia 6103 is little changed from the 6101, offering similar design, imaging, and audio features. While many devices have improved features, the 6103 is a bit disappointing with outdated technology. But being similar is not such as bad thing, especially when the 6101 was a well-built […]

T-Mobile Sidekick III (3) Review

Laptopmag reviews the T-Mobile Sidekick III and says: “The Sidekick III (3) uses T-Mobile’s EDGE service, and even while loading Web page images, this generation doubles the speed of the previous version. Better use of on-board memory also allows pages to load with fewer errors. Java-heavy pages stymied the Sidekick II, but this model was […]

Nextel Motorola i265 Review

PCmag reviews the Nextel Motorola i265 and says: “The new Nextel i265 is meant to be the carrier’s fun phone, filling a gap in the company’s product line. It comes with a color screen and more games than your average Nextel phone. We just wish its screen were brighter.
