Samsung A737 Review - ZDNet

ZDNet reviews the Samsung A737: “The Samsung A737 sports a thin slider style handset. While its basic shape and dimensions aren’t exceptional, the Samsung A737 does come in four colors: orange, red, blue, and lime. The color accents, which run down the side of each handset, provide a nice contrast to the simple black hue that covers […]

T-Mobile Sidekick LX Review - CrunchGear

CrunchGear reviews the T-Mobile Sidekick LX: “The T-Mobile Sidekick LX is about as big as the Sidekick 3. It feels slightly thinner, but not by much. Generally, it feels like the same case, only refined and colored. In general, the T-Mobile Sidekick LX feels the way it’s name implies: luxurious. I know. It’s just a phone, but the […]

Nokia 2135 Review - MobileBurn

MobileBurn reviews the Nokia 2135: “The Nokia 2135 is simply designed, though sports necessary features to offer practicality. The 2135 is equipped with a speakerphone for easy hands-free calls, as well as user-definable ringtones, so that each caller can have their own custom ring. Other tools include a calendar and voice recorder. The Nokia 2135 has large, […]

Motorola W385 Review - Cnet

Cnet reviews the Motorola W385: “The Motorola W385 and the Krzr’s similarities will be obvious to any cell phone fan. Its dimensions are almost identical (3.9-inches tall by 1.8-inches wide by 0.71-inch thick vs. 4.05-inches tall by 1.73-inches wide by 0.67-inch thick for the Krzr) even if it looks a little more boxy. As 3.8 ounces, the […]

LG Venus VX-8800 Review - MobileBurn

MobileBurn reviews the LG Venus VX-8800: “The LG Venus VX-8800 Venus is suitable for both men and women. Men will appreciate the clean lines, solid feel, and high-tech dual-screen wizardry. Women will like the LG Venus VX-8800’s compact form factor, and how pretty the user interface and touchscreen are when compared with other phones. I […]

Samsung T439 Review - Cnet

Cnet reviews the Samsung T439: “The Samsung T439 has a comfortable feel in the hand and the hinge mechanism is sturdy. Yet we couldn’t help but notice that the back battery cover is made of a cheap plastic. It felt pretty flimsy, and it popped off by accident a couple of times. Front and center […]

Motorola H800 Bluetooth Headset Review - PhoneArena

PhoneArena reviews the Motorola H800 Bluetooth headset: “The Motorola H800 Bluetooth headset stands out with its interesting sliding design. The device is equipped with a sliding mechanism, similar to that of Nokia’s BH-900 and Jabra’s BT5010, the only difference being that the mic, together with the sliding part it is fitted on, are released by […]

Verizon Wireless XV5800 By UTStarcom

Samsung G800 Review - MobileReview

MobileReview reviews the Samsung G800: “The Samsung G800 is certainly a mixed bag. While it really resembles today’s digital compacts design-wise and claims that it can shoot just as well (xenon flash, image stabilizer, optical zoom), its real picture quality is pretty much identical to the more affordable G600. It turns out the only thing going […]

Motorola Q9c Review - Cnet

Cnet reviews the Motorola Q9c: “The Motorola Q9c doesn’t look much different from other Q models and more closely resembles the Moto Q9m for Verizon Wireless rather than the latest Motorola Q9h for AT&T. The mobile sports a classic black casing with a nice chrome accent along the outer edges to give it a swanky […]

Motorola ic602 Buzz+ For Sprint-Nextel

“The Motorola ic602 Buzz+ is the same as the Motorola Buzz ic502-series phones, but with a little bit more to offer. For use only with Nextel PowerSource plans, the Motorola ic602 Buzz+ adds a VGA-quality camera. It also uses the Sprint PCS nationwide network for voice calls and data (like web surfing), but uses the Nextel network […]

Motorola Q 9h Global Review - LaptopMag

LaptopMag reviews the Motorola Q 9h Global: “The Motorola Q 9h Global has been rebuilt from the ground up to make it one of the most compelling Windows Mobile phones yet. We’re not just talking about a new processor and extra RAM. Motorola has replaced Mobile IE with Opera as the default browser (faster and […]

T-Mobile Shadow Review - LaptopMag

LaptopMag reviews the T-Mobile Shadow: “The T-Mobile Shadow is an appropriate name for T-Mobile’s new slick slider. That’s because it doesn’t wear its smartphoneness on its sleeve. In fact, it’s really more akin to an LG Chocolate–with a brain and Wi-Fi–than your typical Smartphone. Even better, the T-Mobile Shadow hides (but doesn’t eliminate) the confusing Windows Mobile […]

Motorola i335 Review - PhoneScoop

PhoneScoop reviews the Motorola i335: “I’ve been using the Motorola i335 for a few days now. It’s a pretty decent looking phone. A bit on the long side but manageable. The Motorola i335 seems to have all the same things that most other Nextel phones have as far as functionality goes. I haven’t had any issues with dropped calls […]

E-Ten Glofiish X650 With FM Transmitter And VGA Display

The new E-Ten Glofiish X650 will basically be an upgraded E-Ten Glofiish X600, but with an FM Transmitter and VGA display. Some very nice upgrades, so this will be well worth it. 
EngadgetMobile has more: “The E-Ten Glofiish X650 goes all Fusic on us by taking the E-Ten Glofiish X600’s formula, changing the color scheme just a smidge, and […]

3G Apple iPhone Coming To AT&T Soon

The 3G Apple iPhone was outed by AT&T’s CEO today. Of course, the 3G Apple iPhone was expected, but this confirms the rumors. This news should make those heavy data iPhone users quite happy. The only thing holding them back is creating a longer lasting battery, says Steve Jobs. 
EngadgetMobile has more on the 3G Apple iPhone: “when AT&T’s CEO Randall Stephenson says, […]

Nokia N81 8GB Review - PhoneArena

PhoneArena reviews the Nokia N81 8GB: “The Nokia N81 8GB is another phone of the N-Series, which offers nothing new, compared to its predecessors from the series, save for the 8 GB memory. The Nokia N81 8GB will let you make neither perfect pictures, nor high-quality video clips, so if you’re looking for a phone […]

Samsung SCH-i760 Review - BrightHand

BrightHand reviews the Samsung SCH-i760: “The Samsung SCH-i760 really surprised me. I was expecting it to be an unremarkable copy-cat slider model, with an unattractive design and nothing to really distinguish it from the rest of the pack. What I got instead was an impressively robust device with excellent communications and a design that, while […]

Sanyo S1 Review - PhoneScoop

PhoneScoop reviews the Sanyo S1: “The Sanyo S1 offers fine voice quality, loud volume, a speakerphone (also loud) and bluetooth. The speakerphone while very loud will distort the caller when turned up above 2-3 (out of 7). People I call complain some about the speakphone’s quality.
Some people have complained that the Sanyo S1 only holds 200 contacts. I certainly […]

UTStarcom Coupe 8630 Review - Cnet

Cnet reviews the UTStarcom Coupe 8630: “The UTStarcom Coupe 8630 is certainly on the stylish side. Measuring at 3.8 inches by 1.8 inches by 0.8 inch, the phone draws its design inspiration from its automobile namesake with its long, sleek, yet compact, body. Though the UTStarcom Coupe 8630 has a mostly black coat, it is nicely accented by hints […]

Samsung SCH-U900 FlipShot Review - MobileBurn

MobileBurn reviews the Samsung SCH-U900 FlipShot: “The Samsung SCH-U900 FlipShot gets its name from its rotating top flip, which allows its 262k color QVGA display to be oriented for optimal photo taking and video recording. The Samsung FlipShot also comes with a number of other camera related features, such as a business card scanner and a TV […]

Motorola Q9m Review - PhoneArena

PhoneArena reviews the Motorola Q9m: “The Motorola Q9m is currently one of the best SmartPhones available by Verizon Wireless. It does everything that is expected of it, and then some. The Multimedia Home Screen is an added bonus that many users will enjoy. The Call Quality and Reception are top-notch, despite the Speakerphone sounding a […]

LG CU515 Review - Cnet

Cnet reviews the LG CU515: “The LG CU515 looks somewhat like Sprint’s LG Muziq. Sure, it lacks its predecessor’s external music controls, but the two handsets are roughly the same size. The LG CU515 is a tad heavier, but it still makes for a comfortable feel in the hand and it slips easily into a pocket. As […]

Samsung SCH-R500 Hue Review - Cnet

Cnet reviews the Samsung SCH-R500 Hue: “The Samsung SCH-R500 Hue is one of the more eye-catching cell phones to come out of Alltel’s stable in quite a while. With its red-and-silver color scheme, thin profile, and vertical external display, it will stand out in any cell phone crowd. It’s both compact and lightweight, and it feels comfortable […]

GyPSii Social Networking App Added To Nokia N95 And 6111

“Nokia and GeoSentric (née Benefon) have signed a deal to put the GPS-enabled GyPSii application on the Nokia N95 and 6111 handsets. The GyPSii software’s magic lay in its ability to encode a “where” stamp — you know, location instead of time — in pics and vids you create with it. Users can then share […]

AT&T Tilt Review - LaptopMag

LaptopMag reviews the AT&T Tilt: “The AT&T Tilt performed well. Call quality was clear, and calls placed during testing connected quickly and easily. Battery life is rated for 4.5 days of talk time or 8.3 days of standby. We left a fully charged AT&T Tilt on over a long weekend, and when we returned, the unit still […]

Sprint HTC Mogul Review - LaptopMag

LaptopMag reviews the Sprint HTC Mogul: “The Sprint HTC Mogul features a full QWERTY keyboard that slides out when you hold the device sideways, but this one has a smoother sliding action. The flat layout, much like the T-Mobile Wing’s, is large enough to prevent typos, even when you’re sending long e-mail replies, but the tactile […]

Apple iPhone Review - Gizmodo: Apple iPhone

Apple iPhone review from Gizmodo: “The Apple iPhone is what the phone of the future will look like, and Steve Jobs and Apple should be proud. iPhone of 2010 aside, this model must be judged on what it is today. Like every other journalist will tell you, its multitouch UI, browser and Apple iPod are all pants-worthy. […]

Verizon Wireless Juke Review - Cnet

Cnet reviews the Verizon Wireless Juke: “The Verizon Wireless Juke has a swivel hinge that swings the phone open to reveal a keypad. This unique design certainly gives the Juke some serious sex appeal, but that’s about where it stops. Feature-wise, the Juke is a bit of a dud. There’s no video-recording capability, and most […]

Samsung SGH-T419 For T-Mobile

“The Samsung SGH-T419 (T-Mobile) bargain phone doesn’t do much outside of accepting and dialing calls, but does manage to include a 160 x 128 resolution display internally, a simple greyscale LCD on the exterior, a paltry VGA camera, and a hint of the modern world with the inclusion of Bluetooth.”
More details on the T-Mobile Samsung SGH-T419 basic […]

Sony Ericsson Z310a Review - MobileBurn

MobileBurn reviews the Sony Ericsson Z310a: “The Sony Ericsson Z310a is a well built and stylish handset, though it lacks high-end features and offers an Internet experience that is disappointing, at best. The speakerphone and ring volume could use a boost, as could the vibrate feature. After personal use, I can say that even with […]

Sprint LG Rumor Review - PhoneScoop

PhoneScoop reviews the Sprint LG Rumor: “The Sprint LG Rumor is great and so easy to navigate and use. Went to local Sprint store to upgrade phones and when selection and price were not great, I went to Best Buy to see what they had. While not many phones, their prices are better than the Sprint store. Was looking […]

Samsung BlackJack 2 Review - UberGizmo

UberGizmo reviews the Samsung BlackJack 2: “The Samsung BlackJack 2 is a sexy phone. Samsung evolved its previous thin design by making it look classier, thanks to a new coating. I especially like the red version, which shows the new surface a lot better. The back of that version feels like a faux-leather, which is nice, I […]

PhoneScoop reviews the AT&T LG Shine CU720: “I got the AT&T LG Shine CU720 at an AT&T store over the weekend for 49.99 after the $50.00 rebate. An awesome price I’d have to say for such a nice looking phone. The camera is very nice, the flash is a nice touch too as its hard to find on AT&T […]

3G For T-Mobile

“T-Mobile USA might be about to make an announcement regarding their US 3G offering. According to a rep, the company will be making an announcement on December 6th on the subject, which sounds to us like the Government might have finally shifted off of T-Mobile’s turf.”
While 3G for T-Mobile would be great news for the […]

Sprint HTC Touch Hands-On Review

Engadgetmobile has a Hands-On review of the Sprint HTC Touch and say: “The thing about TouchFLO is that the finger friendliness doesn’t go far beyond the home page — all the standard Windows Mobile apps are here and are designed with a stylus in mind — and while the stylus is there on the Sprint […]

Nokia N95 - New Firmware Download Available

“Firmware version 20.0.015 for the Nokia N95 brings a wealth of new features to a phone that still rests near the top of Nokia’s lineup, including significantly improved memory management (especially important to the N95-1 which rocks half the RAM of the N95-3), a couple N-Gage demos with a link to download the full app when […]

LG Venus Review - PhoneArena

PhoneArena reviews the LG Venus: “The LG Venus is a good phone, but unfortunately it misses the loftier marks it sets out to hit. The design is a mashup, the touch screen lackluster in both function and performance and the LG Venus VX8800 doesn’t offer any compelling reason to upgrade from the 8550. There are some minor upgrades […]
