HTC Legend

Believe it not, the smartphone that looks the most like a MacBook isn't from Apple. The HTC Legend is a new Android 2.1 handset featuring an Apple-like unibody aluminum design, as well as a 3.2-inch AMOLED screen — not as roomy or sharp as the one found on the company's Google-branded Nexus One, but no slouch, either 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash, a 600 MHz processor, and the requisite Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS.

HTC Touch HD 2

OK HTC lovers this is a good news because according to trusted source that HTC is now working to release HTC Touch HD 2 With Android OS.HTC Touch HD 2 comes with faster processor with 628 MHz processor,3.8-inch touchscreen display. HTC Touch HD 2 also will come with newest android feature so just wait till the phone release to the market.

Windows 7 HTC Phone

Some cried and some cheered when Microsoft revealed that handset manufacturers couldn't reskin Windows phone 7 devices wholesale. But as it turns out, at least one major OEM is still banking on software to help differentiate its phones. HTC's Drew Bamford told Forbes that Sense UI will still appear in the company's Windows Phone 7 creations, and believes it will live on in Android 3.0 (Gingerbread) as well. "Microsoft has taken firmer control of the core experience," acknowledged Bamford, who added that Sense wouldn't be fully integrated into WP7 phones, but that HTC would "augment" the Microsoft experience with as-yet-undisclosed functionality of its own. As long as it doesn't eat up too much memory and processor time, right?

Microsoft gives reasons for Windows Phone 7’s lack of backward compatibility

At the MIX 2010 conference in Las Vegas, Microsoft officially disclosed the lack of backward compatibility of its forthcoming smartphone operating system - the Windows Phone 7 Series - with its earlier mobile OS version, Windows Mobile 6. x.
Elaborating the reason why backward compatibility has been given a miss in the Windows Phone 7, Larry Lieberman – Microsoft’s senior product manager for Mobile Developer Experience – told eWEEK on March 15 that the new product was “delivered in an incredibly accelerated timeframe. If we’d had more time and resources, we may have been able to do something in terms of backward compatibility.”
Nonetheless, noting that the consumer-oriented spotlight of Windows Phone 7 will draw both business as well as regular users, Lieberman also added that the new operating system boasts the requisite tools for quickly updating the older applications to suit the new platform.
Saying that Windows Phone 7 Series would provide developers the tools to rebuild Mobile applications in updated form, Lieberman specified: “The development platform gives people a lot of opportunities, and they may be able to recreate a lot of their previous work in an accelerated manner.”
In addition, Lieberman also reiterated the fact that Microsoft will continue to remain committed to its Windows Mobile 6. x mobile operating system, and the to-be-launched devices running that OS.

Sprint HTC Evo

The Evo has two cameras - a forward-facing 1.3-megapixel camera (great for video chat and for the candid self-portraits we all love to take) and an 8-megapixel autofocus camera with an LED flash and an HD-capable 720p video camcorder - trumping the 5MP camera of previous generations. The Evo's four small circular buttons are at the bottom of the screen, instead of the HD2's wide, odd-shaped buttons reminiscent of the days when car-phones were in vogue. We miss the sexy silver look of the Legend, but hey, I guess one can never go wrong with black. The phone is fast and there was no sign of lag when opening applications.
One of the coolest features of the new smartphone is its built-in mobile hotspot functionality, which allows up to eight Wi-Fi-enabled devices to connect to its 4G network. This means any Wi-Fi-enabled device like your laptop, gaming device, ipod or iPhone can all be used on the 4G network. And for a mere cell phone? That's not just unique, it’s astounding.
Some may claim that the Evo is just a modified version of HTC's HD2 but they are ignoring the fact that the former runs on the coveted Android platform, while the latter runs on, uh, Windows Mobile. In terms of size, the Evo is 2mm wider and thicker, 1mm shorter and 13 grams heavier than the HD2. Both models, as well as the HTC-built Nexus one are built on Qualcomm's Snapdragon platform with a 1GHz processor, but the EVO 4G uses the more recent QSD8650 processor, an update from the HD2's QSD8250. Expect the same connectivity elements like the compass and GPS that you'd expect from HSDPA, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The phone's also got 1GB of built-in storage, along with 512MB of RAM.

Dell Streak

It measures 152.9 x 79.1 x 9.98mm, so it is certainly skinny and at 220g it is light enough to hold. There is no stand, which we are sure some would call out for, but the design around the back may well be spoilt by such an addition from an aesthetics point of view.
Finished in gunmetal grey, the matte back features a large removable plate to access the innards, where your SIM card and microSD will go, along with the 1530mAh battery. Currently O2 has the exclusive on the Dell Streak and we tested it on its network where you can get it on contract, but you can also pick one up SIM free from Dell directly.
Other details on the back of the Streak include the external speaker and the 5-megapixel camera accompanied by a double LED "flash". Around the sides of the Streak you'll find a bespoke port for charging and syncing in the absence of the conventional Micro-USB on the bottom, while the top edge offers up power, camera, volume and a 3.5mm headphone socket.
The front of the Streak is where the action is of course, and you'll find three touch-sensitive controls, offering home, menu and back. There is also a front-facing 640 x 480 camera, ideal for all those video calls you don't make. And then you come to the screen.

Sony-Ericsson A8i

Sony Ericsson has announced its first TD-SCDMA smartphone, the A8i, which runs China Mobile’s Open Mobile System 2.0 (based on Android).
The A8i looks like an Xperia X10 (or an X8 – there’s no big difference anyway).
The handset features a 3.5 inch display with 854 x 480 pixels, CNMB mobile TV, WLAN, A-GPS, eCompass, TrackID (“linked directly with China Mobile’s entertainment download service”), Bluetooth, 3.5mm headset jack, 5MP autofocus camera with LED flash, 200MB internal memory, and MicroSD card support.

LG Cookie T300

Being the most basic of the trio and costing the least, the youth-directed Cookie T300 supports access to social networking sites, uses a virtual QWERTY keyboard instead of a physical one and has enhanced music features.
The LG Cookie T300 measures 95.8 x 50.5 x 11.9mm and is a pocket-friendly lightweight at 77g. The Cookie comes with a 2.4-inch TFT resistive touchscreen that's capable of rendering 256K colours at a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. The display has a cartoon user-interface which teens will love as well as a handwriting recognition software for added security.
The T300 is equipped with a simple yet functional 1.3 megapixel camera with 1280 x 1024 pixels image resolution. It can record QCIF-quality video at 15 frames per second. The Cookie T300 comes with 20 MB of internal memory which can be expanded up to 4 GB should more storage memory be required.
The phone comes with a versatile player which can play back MP3, MP4, WAV and other popular multimedia formats. It also has a stereo FM radio and a 3.5 mm audio jack for private listening using your favourite earphones.
Considering its compact dimensions, the LG Cookie T300 is powered by an extended-life Li-Ion 900 mAh which can provide up to 8 hours of talk time and up to 500 hours of standby time on a single charge.
Social networking, chatting and text messaging are some of the major activities that younger people engage in during their free time. It was for these reasons that the LG Cookie T300 was designed. Combining messaging, chat and integration to social networking sites, the T300 is aimed at the youth market or what LG calls the Generation Z.
The Cookie T300 is the most basic and most affordable of the three smartphones in the LG Cookie Series. Its other two siblings are the Cookie T310 Style and Cookie T320 3G. Whilst they are dubbed as Cookie phones in Europe, they are known everywhere else as Wink phones.
The LG Cookie T300 provides social networking support, music feature enhancements and a virtual QWERTY keyboard which is available in both landscape and portrait modes. Access to sites like Facebook and Twitter, exchanging text messages, and sharing media with friends are all made easy by finger swipes and gestures.
Despite the absence of 3G connectivity, the LG Cookie T300 supports 2G quad band GSM network connections. It has both Class 10 EDGE and GPRS as well as fast data transfer using Bluetooth v2.1 with A2DP and microUSB v2.0.
The phone comes with a 1.3 megapixel camera which, whilst low-end, can take optimum quality photos as well as video that are quite suitable to upload in file-sharing websites. It has a measurement of 95.8 x 50.5 x 11.9mm and weighs in at only 77 g.
Considering its compact size, the Cookie T300 carries a 2.4-inch TFT resistive touchscreen with 256K colours running at 240 x 320 pixels resolution.

Nokia E75

We make no bones about it: we love the current Nokia E-Series aesthetic. We think the Finns at times miss the mark with design, the Xpress music range is a good example, but the last two years of E-Series handsets have been a pleasure to see and touch. The E75 is a stunner; it has a collection of reflective surfaces and stainless steel that moulds seamlessly with a glossy piano-black finish. On the back of the phone, the battery cover is textured stainless steel, which gives the handset a pleasing tactility.
When taking the E75 out of its box, the first thing you'll notice is its weight. While 139 grams may not sound like much, the difference in weight to other handsets is noticeable — though if anything, it acts to give the E75 a feeling of sturdiness. Navigation of the phone is mostly performed using a standard arrangement of nav-keys and a numeric keypad, but the real selling point for the E75 is the slide-out QWERTY keyboard underneath. It's lucky it's there too, because the numeric keypad on top is terribly small and cramped.
The QWERTY keyboard is better than its tiny T9 counterpart. It lacks the definition of raised keys, but makes up for this with impressively wide buttons. Each individual key is almost twice as large as keys found on competing phones. This is both a good and bad thing: good because it makes making a mistake much harder, but bad because your fingers have to move much more than you might be used to. We found that when we typed long messages our hand position changed constantly to accommodate the larger pad. We should also note that the slider mechanism is far from the best we've seen. Even without opening the slide, the top part rattles loosely against the bottom half. This is significantly more noticeable when opening the phone, and detracts from the phone's premium quality feel.
The E75 charges using a Nokia charging pin charger, and connects headphones via a standard 3.5mm socket located on the top of the headset. On the side of the handset you find two separate ports, one for USB connections and another for microSD cards. A 3.2-megapixel camera is located on the back with an LED photolight and a self-portrait mirror.

Features

If you've used a Nokia in the last year or so then the E75 will be an easy phone to pick up and play with. It runs on Nokia's Series 60 operating platform (version 3.2), which looks and works a lot like previous versions. As a business phone, you get all the connectivity options you'd expect; HSDPA, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, but it's been a while since we saw a smartphone lacking any of these hardware options, and the real point of difference exists in how these components integrate with the apps on-board.
To its credit Nokia has finally produced a decent email client. Nokia has, for a long time, included email in some form or another on its S60 phones, but the new Nokia Messaging brings all the important elements together into one very easy-to-use application. Setting up a new account is as simple as punching in your account details (in most cases). Business email through MS Exchange requires a few extra bits of info, like your email domain and server, but is likewise very easy to set up and use. The E75 is capable of supporting one Exchange account and up to 10 private email accounts simultaneously, with new messages pushed to your handset as soon as they are delivered to your email server.
Everything else is as expected. There's a nice range of business tools like a PDF reader and QuickOffice, and a barely noteworthy range of media software. The image gallery is fast to browse, but when we tested the video player we found it supported only a small selection of the files we tested, playing 3GP and WMV files. Interestingly, the E75 is also the first E-Series phone to support Nokia's N-Gage gaming platform.

Performance

We hate to seem like we're living in the past, but there was a lot to like about last year's E71 ; it looked good, it featured a good mix of hardware and software, and its performance was second to none. It took advantage of a resource efficient interface and delivered great processing and excellent battery life. With the E75, Nokia has repeated only half of this winning formula.
Processing is excellent, jumping in and out of different menus and accessing the various apps is punchy and without visible lag. Opening the slider turns the screen to landscape view mode and even this transition is quick enough so that you never feel like you're waiting for the phone to catch up with you.
Battery life is the let-down. In fact, let-down is too soft a term to use for our experience. The E75 comes with a 1000mAh battery, which is only two-thirds the capacity of the battery in the E71. Charging the phone to full and activating push email for one MS Exchange account and one infrequently used private account was enough to drain the battery in less than 24 hours. If you're in the habit of charging your phone overnight you'll find it back on the charger each evening, otherwise you'll find the phone powers down before you get home. Worse still, the on-screen battery monitor is tremendously flawed — we've found the battery dropping from full to empty with very little notice, the middle bars of the display barely get a look in.
The saving grace is the profile switcher that lives as a shortcut on the Active Standby Bar by default. This switcher activates a second phone profile that can be completely customised with new wallpapers, ringtones and themes, and with different active email accounts. You can have, for example, your MS Exchange account on one profile, and your Yahoo, Hotmail or Gmail on the other. We've found when we switched the profile to the second profile with no push email active that the battery lasted an extra day or two. But doesn't this defeat the purpose of buying a "messaging" phone?

Overall

We don't want to be too harsh on the poor E75, it's a good handset, but poor battery life is the cardinal sin of a portable electronics device, and compared to last year's E-Series phones this is a major step backwards. Nokia has gotten the design right, though it'll be too heavy for some, and the Nokia Messaging client is excellent — better late than never. However, less-than-a-day battery life is appalling, especially when Nokia has achieved so much better in recent times. We recommend picking up an E71 instead, the interface looks old fashioned, but it's a solid handset that continues to perform well in the smartphone market.

Nokia 5730 Xpress Music - Play. Share. Chat

This isn't necessarily a bad thing. The fact that Nokia has taken its new flagship E-Series phone, painted it with glowing blue and glossy black, and paraded it as a "new device" offers a range of people the opportunity to own a smartphone fitting out with HSDPA, Wi-Fi, GPS and push email, while maintaining their street cred.
This range of smartphone tools also includes the latest version of Nokia Maps, plus the 5730 will feature the Ovi suite of online services, notably the Nokia Music Store and N-Gage gaming. The home screen design has also noticeably changed. It features some elements of the Series 60 design we're accustomed to but also makes use of changes seen in the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic , with favourite contacts pictured for quick access.
The XpressMusic definitely supersedes the E75 as a music-playing device. Nokia is expected to bundle the phone with an 8GB microSD card, though the phone is capable of using 16GB memory sticks. It also comes with the all-important 3.5mm headphone socket, so your favourite Senheisser's can easily replace the bundled set of 'phones. The 5730 also includes Nokia's "Say and Play" voice-control for the built-in music player — just press the button and say the name of the track or artist to skip to the songs you want to hear.
Downside
With its full set of features the only thing that separates the 5730 from some of the high-end N-Series devices is a top-end camera. The on-board shooter is a 3.2-megapixel with Carl Zeiss optics, but this isn't a patch on the 8-megapixel cameras we're starting to see on the all-in-ones from Nokia and the rest.
The inclusion of smartphone components will also put strain on the battery life and we're not sure the 1000mAh battery in the 5730 will have enough juice to keep the phone powered for days at a time.
Overall
Mixing business functions and a QWERTY keyboard with the features we expect in an XpressMusic handset is interesting in concept, but we're not sure Nokia is onto a winner with this one. People looking for a business phone will likely turn to the E-Series, and those looking for a music phone will, and should, check out apples iphone. Mixing business with pleasure seems sure to leave the 5730 in limbo.

Nokia E5

Today sees the unearthing of the Nokia E5, the latest addition to the Eseries stable, taking the best of the Nokia E71 and E72 and making something even better. Before we go through the raft of tasty features on board the Nokia E5, we should ponder on the battery life. 18 hours and 30 minutes talk time (in GSM mode). 29 days standby time. Yep, you read that right. The Nokia E5 is for perfect for anyone who doesn’t like charging their phone. Too often.

Packing the latest version of S60 3rd edition, the Nokia E5 boasts a suite of homescreen features including one-touch access to your favourite contacts, and your favourite social networks. It also boasts Facebook updates direct to your contacts list, so you can always see what your friends are up to and, as it packs the latest version of Nokia Messaging, you get full Instant Messaging functionality too.
Ovi Maps with free walk and drive navigation is on board, as is Ovi Store and with Nokia Messaging comes access to email on the go with support for multiple email accounts, including popular mail services such as Ovi Mail, Yahoo! Mail, Gmail, Windows Live Hotmail and for the business folk, Microsoft Exchange and IBM Lotus Notes Traveler.
The Nokia E5’s screen is a 2.4-inch affair which is perfect for showing off snaps taken with the 5-megapixel camera. Below the screen comes two hot keys and dedicated buttons for both the homescreen and messaging and call start/answer and end buttons, the latter doubling as the on off button – like the C3.
Like the Nokia E71 and E72 before it, the Nokia E5 is a tidy little number with similar dimensions, though the E5 is approximately 2mm chubbier than it’s predecessors. On the plus side, it weighs in a whole 2 grams lighter than the E72. Before you say boo, though, did we mention the no-need-t0-charge-me-I-still-have-plenty-left battery life? Storage is taken care of with 250MB of on-board memory and support for up to 16GB on microSD.
Still looking for more? Go on then. The Nokia E5 comes in five mouth-watering colours – Carbon Black, Chalk White, Sky Blue, Copper Brown and Silver Gray.

Nokia 5235 Comes With Music

Despite the relatively lukewarm results of their Comes With Music program, Nokia seems bent on doing their best to see it through.  In fact, they just announced another one with the service as its main feature, the Nokia 5235 Comes With Music.
Based on the previously-released nokia 5230, the new touchsreen phone, oddly enough, isn't part of the company's XpressMusic lineup (there's no dedicated music keys).  However, it does integrate some nifty multimedia talents, a 3.5mm audio jack and 3.6Mbps HSDPA for fast song downloads.
Details of the new handset include a 3.2-inch resistive touchscreen display (360 x 640 resolution), a 2.0  megapixel camera module (with an impressive 30fps of VGA video recording), GPS (with Ovi Maps preinstalled) and microSD card expansion (up to 16GB).  Apart from the music capabilities, it's also a functional smartphone running Symbian S60 5th Edtion.  As such, it comes with the rest of Nokia's Ovi suite of apps, include Contacts and Mail.
If you're not familiar with Nokia's Comes With Music, it's a music download service that's integrated with the price of the phone.  In the case of the Nokia 5235, you can choose to get unlimited free downloads of DRM-protected songs for either 12 or 18 months, after which the entire inventory is yours to keep.
The Nokia 5235 Comes With Music will be available in two color schemes, white and black, both accented with ice-blue tinted chrome rims.

Nokia X3-02 Touch and Type

Yesterday, our friends in Finland unveiled the latest iteration to join the X-range of phones, the Nokia X3-02; which will sound extremely familiar to anyone that used to watch a Sci-Fi series named Stargate SG-1, where the X302 was a prototype starship meets fighter jet. The (slightly less cool) Nokia X3-02, will probably be better knows as the X3 Touch and Type, which also gives us the first clue as to the nature of this phone; Nokia first ever phone to incorporate both an alphanumeric (0-9) keypad as well as a touchscreen. The X3-02 is also set to be the first S40 touch driven device to be released on a global scale, proof enough that Nokia are setting their hopes high with the Touch and Type; so what can we expect from the touch and type collaboration? Well, starting with it’s looks, the touch and type takes Nokia’s favourite candybar form factor and most of it’s design cues from the current Xrange phones with colours ranging from white silver, dark metal and petrol blue to pink and lilac versions.
The touchscreen is a resistive 2.4 inch unit, making it one of the smallest touchscreens on the market being even smaller than the screen found on the ever popular Sony Ericsson x10 pro, and is said to be combined with a keypad to ‘give the best of both worlds’. Whilst we agree in theory with what Nokia are saying, we’ll wait to get some hands-on experience with the X3 before passing judgment either way. Our initial thoughts would be around the optimisation of the interface and how well the UI has been designed for use with the tiny resistive touchscreen, this will be paramount to the success of the Touch and Type collaboration.
In terms of other specs, the X3 is far from lacking despite it’s rather ‘plain Jane’ looks, there’s Wi-Fi, 3G, HSPA, Bluetooth and MicroUSB connectivity ob-board as well as the industry standard 3.5mm audio jack for headphones, which brings us on to one of the key selling points of the X3. It’s designed with media in mind and because of this, Nokia have incorporated a dedicated hardware key to Music Playback offering instant access to your music collection.
Despite being only 9.6mm thick, the finn’s have also managed to squeeze a 5.0 megapixel, fixed focus camera in the chassis, not bad for a phone of it’s size. Keep your eyes on the blog for details about release dates and price and in the mean time, check out the promo video below.
