Coming mid of this month Motorola will be officially selling the Motorola Droid X. Like the Droid, you can consider this smartphone a monster but quite in a good way.
Design
The Droid X is a big phone just like other Androids. This smartphone measures 5×2.6×0.4 inches while tipping the scale at 5.47 ounces. Comparing it to the HTC Evo 4G, the Droid X is slightly lighter and thinner.
It is pretty big and with such size, some might have a hard time operating it with one hand. It will also be quite bulky for your pants’ pocket. Good thing it does not have the slide-out keyboard or it will add more to the bulkiness.
The backside of the phone has a soft touch feel to it. You can also see the 8.0 megapixel camera. Motorola said that they will be releasing units with front facing cameras soon.
The multitouch 4.3-inch screen offers a good look of everything that you are doing. You have an option to use Swype or the usual virtual keyboard. You will get use to Swype and most likely love the feature as you get used to it. The classic hard buttons for the search, back, home, and menu are still there.
Performance
The call quality for this phone is great but we still need to see how its batteries will perform. The camera takes some time to get the feel so you can assure clear shots despite the autofocus feature. Expect a bit of a lag with its shutter though.
It will come out with the Android 2.1 setup up there will be an update later on so owners can get Android 2.2 Froyo this summer. The upgrade will speed things up and give a better pc-like performance.
If there is one thing that I know about Toshiba as a company, it is that this particular company is definitely one that I love for future phones and boy, the Toshiba IS02 is a future phone. The brand new Toshiba IS02 is a phone that is actually being released via au KDDI in Japan and while it might not be available in the states – it is certainly a phone worth mentioning.
Not only does the Toshiba IS02 have Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.5.3 OS, but it also has a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, a sliding QWERTY keyboard, 3G, a 4.1-inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen with customized NX! UI, a 384MB/512MB RAM/ROM, a 3.2MP camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a business card reader.
All of this and the phone looks cool? I have to say, I might have to go to Japan for this one!
Android phones are definitely some of the most popular phones on the market today and to be honest, I think that they are some of the best phones in the world. Take the brand new Motorola CLIQ XT for example. This phone is actually one of my favorite phones in the world and it is because not only does it look cool but it also is jam-packed with technology!
One thing that you will notice about the Motorola CLIQ XT is that it is actually an awesome phone – inside and out. Some of the specs include: a 3.1-inch 320 x 480 capacitive touchscreen display, a 5MP camera with autofocus and LED flash, a full virtual QWERTY keyboard, a 512MB of ROM, a 256MB of RAM, a microSD card slot (up to 32GB), an electronic compass, A-GPS, 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth, a 3.5mm headset jack and runs on Android 1.5 OS with supports for Google services and MOTOBLUR features.
All of this and the price is just $129.99? That’s incredible!
All right, we talk a lot about phones in this blog but I have to say that one phone and one brand that I love is the Sony Ericsson Naite – Sony in general is a brand that I have fallen in love with over the years and now that this brand new candybar phone is coming out, it is awesome!
One thing that you should know about this particular phone is that it is actually sold for about $159 and that is unlocked … which is awesome! Also, if you are eco-friendly, the Sony Ericsson Naite is the ideal phone for you! It is made from recyclable materials, which is awesome.
The technology? That is a 2.2-inch QVGA display with 240 x 320 resolution, a 2MP camera, a 100MB of internal memory, a microSD card slot and supports both quad band GSM connectivity (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) as well as HSDPA connectivity (2100 MHz).
There are so many different cell phone plans out there. As a result, choosing the one that fits you bet can be an overwhelming and frustrating experience. However, there are some things to consider when making the choice that can make the whole process much, much easier.
For instance, where you live can significantly affect your choices. I myself used to live in a very small town in central New York that simply did not give coverage from a lot of providers, so while living there, my choices dropped significantly. It is actually a little sad that so many providers still do not provide coverage to smaller areas, but what can you do?
Anyway, you definitely want to do your research in this area first, because if you get a find and then discover that every time you try to use it in your house, you are roaming, your wallet is going to be mad at you.
The market is really getting flooded with smartphones these days, and even though that makes choosing harder -
it's great news for consumers. Choice is a good thing!
Nokia seems almost as big as Samsung in the way of phones right now and I can tell you for sure that their brand new phones are coming out of the woodwork and are certainly making all sorts of waves. Take the brand new Nokia 5530 XpressMusic Games Edition – this phone is definitely one for the gamers.
It comes pre-loaded with about 20 games from EA Mobile and Gameloft and I can tell you for sure, that this phone is definitely one that will keep you occupied whenever you are bored. If you want the specs – here they are: a 3.2-megapixel AF camera, Bluetooth 2.0, WiFi, and a 70MB internal memory, and an included 4GB microSD card. Unfortunately, the phone doesn’t support 3G.
This particular phone goes for about $269.00 in the states and it is definitely one for the books!
When midnight strikes on December 31 and January 1, 2010 comes to pass, there will be a lot of important questions to think about in the new year.
Granted, for most people, they will not be concerned about what proved to be the most popular phone of 2010, but frankly, this is Cell Phones & Smartphones, and we are interested in such things. That’s kind of our job, you know?
For all intents and purposes and by all available accounts, the winner of that title is none other than the iPhone.
But is that true? I do not have an iPhone, and my life is not in some way lacking because of it. I am inclined to like it better than the Android, but that is only because my half wit brother in law and his pseudo clever hag of a fiance insist it is better than the iPhone, which they have never in life used.
So you, the public: what do you guys think?
Samsung is definitely the company to beat in the way of cell phones and if you remember – the all new Samsung M5650 is the newest phone by this particular company.
This fully music-focused cell phone is not going to be released in the states just yet though, the brand new Samsung M5650 is going to be released in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe and finally India and China as of right now.
To me – that’s sad, as I would absolutely love to see the Samsung M5650 released in the states.
With so many choices out there, picking out the right cell phone can be hard. You need to begin by figuring out what you need. Will a basic phone be better, or one with all the bells and whistles? Do you need GPS, or can you do without it?
Secondly, think about add ons. Do you need an instant messenger service? Do you send a lot of text messages? Features like these may be a luxury you cannot afford. You need to think long and hard about what you really need.
You also need to decide what kind of style of phone you would prefer, whether a flip phone, a touch screen, or another style will suit you best.
And above all, make sure you read reviews before you buy a new cell phone. See what works for other people and what might be a dud.
The Blackberry has long been a hugely popular phone, although it can be a bit out of reach for some people. T-Mobile is aiming to fix that inasmuch as possible, by offering a prepaid Blackberry. The phone plan will go for sixty dollars and neither a contract nor a credit check will be required.
Actually, plans will start out at fifty dollars a month. For that, you can get unlimited voice. The sixty dollar a month plan allows for extras, like unlimited voice along with unlimited text messages. For eighty dollars a month, users can get unlimited voice, unlimited text, and unlimited Web access.
Prepaid plans are increasingly more popular, largely due to the fact that they do not require any long term commitments and because, of course, they tend to be less expensive.
The Blackberry Curve 8520 will be one of four phones T-Mobiles offers with a prepaid plan.
Coming mid of this month Motorola will be officially selling the Motorola Droid X. Like the Droid, you can consider this smartphone a monster but quite in a good way.
