The latest handset from Sharp – the GX33 model – is a pretty good offer for buyers who want good quality for less money. The features are basic, but satisfy most: a 1.9″ 176×220 pixel display, VGA resolution digital camera, Bluetooth, a web browser and email client. Also, the device is light (87 grams) and the design of this clamshell makes it easy to handle.
It isn’t the innovation that was expected from Sharp after launching the first European megapixel phone in 2004 and the most sophisticated 3G phone on the market, but it will bring its owners satisfaction at a low price.

What can be said about the LG KS20 are the following: it’s a touchscreen phone running Windows Mobile 6.0, it is a 3G phone with WiFi, Bluetooth, plus a two megapixel camera with flash on the back and has a microSD expandable memory. The size of the touchscreen is impressive – about 2.8″ – and also it seems like it is going to be 12.8mm thick.
And other than what looks like a 240 x 320 pixel display, it’s all in the dark.
Certainties won’t be available until Christmas, when the model will be released, but we tend to stay optimistic as far as this handset is concerned.
Even though Chinese developers are more often than not considered to be cloning specialists, this time a brand new concept gives them the full credit. You may be thinking how this is possible. It just is and they have the Qwerty keyboard sliding out to prove so.
Though we aren’t familiar with the name of the revolutionary device, some features are available: it measures 112×60×20 mm, weighs 110 grams, a 3.4″ 16 million color QVGA touchscreen, a 1.3 MP camera, TV Out and the standard microSD expansion slot.
Doesn’t seem bad by now, not to mention that the unique keyboard ensures it a well deserved success.
Except from bearing lots of names, the HTC Nike P5500, distinguishes itself from the original HTC Touch version of the Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional smartphone through: it uses both HSDPA and GSM radios, a 2.6 inch touchscreen, 802.11a/b/g WiFi, SIP support, Bluetooth, 2 megapixel camera with a 1 megapixel front-facing shooter and microSD card slot. This handset also keeps the TouchFLO interface and the numeric keypad hidden under the vertically slidingtouchscreen brings lots of points to the design.
It is a cool handset to own and it will be released in Japan on the DoCoMo network this fall.
When it comes to phone concepts, we cannot say we have seen them all because peculiar ideas seem to pop up every second. The Brix mobile concept isn’t far away, but it definitely makes you want it to come true.
The main idea of this handset is that the full front face of the device is occupied by the display. When connected to other Brix handsets, however, the image just gets bigger and bigger, touching endless lengths.
We can honestly say that we have never seen such a close connection between handsets and all for the good of the humanity.
We all know what made in China means and we also recognize the advantages: it might not be the best quality on the market, but it’s as cheap as it can get. When it comes to a GPS device incorporated in a mobile at just $130, there’s no room left to wonder. Your next words just may be: when can I take it home? Things are getting complicated from here now on because made in China in this case means that it stays in China, being tailored to China’s GPS system.
This Anonymous wonder comes also with gaudy speakers on the backside, the silk-screened touchscreen, and dual-SIM capability.
All is left to do is watch the well oriented Chinese people take advantage of the fabulous offer.
If you’re not in the mood to spend much money on a pretentious handset, Pantech has a pretty decent offer for you. It is called the C150 and its features, though ordinary, are meant to please: 800-contact phone book with room in each entry for three phone numbers, two e-mail addresses, notes, a vibrate mode, a speakerphone, text and multimedia messaging, instant messaging for AOL, MSN, and Yahoo, an alarm clock, a calendar, a notepad, a voice memo recorder, world time, a calculator, a unit converter, a stopwatch and a VGA camera with 4x zoom, a brightness setting, three resolutions (640×480, 320×240, and 128×160).
The C150 is an easy choice to make and it leaves out many complications.
How do the following features sound: text and multimedia messaging, instant messaging, an alarm clock, a calendar, a to-do list, a calculator, a timer, a stopwatch, a notepad, POP3 e-mail access, PC syncing, USB mass storage, a speakerphone, a voice recorder and a VGA camera. Is it impressive? Not really, but maybe the next fact will make you run for the closest store: Nokia 6085 comes in pink.
Yes, you heard right. So, our advice is: if you dig pink this handset will wink.
When it comes to power, Nokia chooses not to joke and the N95 model is one showoff example. How do 6000 songs or 20 hours of video shooting sound? Well, that’s what the N95’s 8GB powerhouse will offer you in exchange for acquiring the European Media Phone of the Year 2007-2008. The handset is also equipped with plenty other empowering accessories: the Carl Zeiss 5.0 megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, integrated A-GPS, WLAN and HSDPA support, plus a new luminous 2.8″ QVGA display.
But where there’s power, money are often needed and in this case the price is pretty high – about 560 euros.
The LG VX8350 will be the next in line in September, following the 8300 model recent rule. This handset is actually an upgrade to its predecessor, featuring: an external OLED display screen and external music control buttons, a 1.3 megapixel camera, and Bluetooth.
We are pleased with the design, taking care of the image being LG’s personal trademark and this model makes no exception. It is a clamshell phone that shares quite a lot when it comes to functions, this being the reason why its arrival will be welcomed.
