Motorola DROID review 8.2 XYBOARD

Introduction:

As we take a trip back down to memory lane with the Motorola XOOM, the very first device to feature Google’s pure tablet-optimized platform, we realize that things didn’t necessarily go as planned for the tablet. Besides the late incorporation of a 4G LTE radio, it was quickly overcome by other Honeycomb tablets that snatched the spotlight – like the Asus Eee Pad Transformer and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Coming back for round two, the Motorola DROID XYBOARD 8.2 is looking to uphold its founding father and reclaim the prestige now that it’s part of the beloved DROID line.

This is a review of the CDMA/LTE tablet offered by Verizon Wireless. The XOOM 2 Media Edition is identical but has a global GSM/HSDPA radio instead.

Design:

If you’ve checked out some of Motorola’s recent smartphones, namely the PHOTON 4G and DROID RAZR, you’ll instantly recognize the design of the DROID XYBOARD 8.2. It’s probably one of the more solidly constructed tablets we’ve had the pleasure to hold of late – thanks to its premium choice of materials and sturdy feel. Literally built like a tank, its metallic back plating provides plenty of strength, while its soft touch sides and miniature bolts perfectly accent its tough exterior. Looking beyond its aggressive appearance, it’s remarkably lightweight (13.62 oz) and svelte (0.35” thick) to keep it in good light with the usual company.

Complementing its sturdy build quality, is its brilliant looking 8.2” IPS-enhanced HD display, which boasts a reasonable 1280 x 800 resolution. Naturally, it’s more than detailed enough to discern fine text within the web browser, while its high contrast, neutral color reproduction, strong brightness output, and decent viewing angles make it a wonder to look at with our eyes. Simply, it perfectly complements the tablet’s overall radiance. Easily worth noting, the Motorola DROID XYBOARD 8.2 is deemed as a multimedia-centric tablet because it features 2.1 virtual surround sound with the aid of the speakers built into its sides. Furthermore, it also packs the usefulness of an infrared blaster, which is something that’s becoming more prominent amongst tablets. In fact, it works in tandem with the preloaded Dijit app to turn the DROID XYBOARD 8.2 into a universal home theater remote control. Besides those two items, everything else is fairly straightforward seeing it packs a microUSB port, microHDMI port, 3.5mm headset jack, 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera, 5-megapixel auto-focus rear camera with flash, power button, and volume control. With the latter two, they’re flat and rather difficult to feel out with our fingers – though, we find their placement fitting to reduce accidental presses when holding the tablet.

Maybe a tad too small for my taste, and I thought the Kindle Fire would start making tablets cheaper. you also have to compare it to other tablets with the same price, the HTC Jetstream got a 7 and it was more expensive.

All the Android tablet makers need to take a page from the Amazon playbook. I know they're not willing to sell at a loss like the Fire does, but look at how that model is selling. If Google wants to make a serious (ie >15% US market share) dent in the tablet market, the major manufacturers need to be willing to sell at smaller margins. Being as good or better than the iPad isn't enough to match it on price, especially on contract. They need to make a credible argument that an Android tablet offers something an iPad doesn't. Since they can't really do that yet, they need to fight with dollars. $300 for WiFi-only would significantly undercut Apple, yet make it easy to argue more functionality than the Kindle for not much more money.

The xyboard is a day late, a dollar short, and has the worst name in the biz.

Seriously though, I'm sure it's a fine tablet, but given the price, it's just not worth it. On the market right now it's not even the top tablet and in a week or so the Transformer will come out and crush the Xyboard in performance and since the Xoom2 (better ring to it) isn't available on WiFi it's severely limiting it's market since it is more expensive than the WiFi tablets like the iPad, Transformer, Galaxy, Sony Tabs, Toshiba tabs, etc.

Motorola right now looks like they're slowly correcting launch errors of old. First by offering a smaller cheaper option, second by having a 32 gig and 16 gig model. Now they need to work on launching a WiFi model at launch and lower the pricing point about 50 bucks

Did Motorola learn nothing from the launch of the Xoom?

They learned that they should make their tablets uglier...

I wonder what the score would be if price wasn't an issue? an 8 maybe?

i LOVE what Motorola did with the Interface! every OEM should pay attention here because this is what they need to do. Stock w/ customized Icons, Fonts, Widgets & Function Keys. the Droid Xyboard would be an ideal Tablet for me. i have a pretty ballin' Laptop so i can't really justify a big Tablet that's not portable enough to just grab on a whim and i don't want something so small that it just seems senseless to use over my smartphone for much so between this and the Galaxy Tab 7.7 they just nail it with me. price is in serious need of adjusting though.

I was playing with one at a Verizon store and they want $600 without a contract or $420 with a 2-year contract.

Motorola is doing EXACTLY the same thing wrong when they introduced the first gen Xoom -- it's overpriced and a poor value given other tablets in the marketplace.

i saw one yesterday too and i definitely came out wanting one. great Tablet for me.

conversely? i'm pretty sure that choppy = live wallpaper and smooth = static.. im really not usually a grammar nazi (i promise!) but that's pretty much the opposite i think of what should have gone there.. who writes these? do they get grammar check?

Motorola RAZR reviews

Getting Started:

Probably taken from Motorola in this new era of smartphone launched in 2007, is the best phone is a Motorola RAZR. Thinnest Android phone there was a previously reserved for an acoustic Japanese NEC title.

Of course, company banks on the iconic RAZR brand from times past, which received cult status of the game change the sudden appearance and razor-thin profile. Motorola RAZR, today tradition design region in Middle 7.1 mm and exotic materials for the chassis, such as Kevlar.

Is this enough for the Motorola RAZR, in order to lure shoppers spoiled smartphone which has an excellent smartphone cut this festive season? Read on to find out …

This is the version of the Verizon DROID RAZR GSM and simply called the Motorola RAZR. It is identical, except for high-speed radio, which makes it possible to work at and t and T-Mobile (2 G) in the United States.

If you read our review would DROID RAZR actually read it. Especially if you are in the States.

Design:

Motorola RAZR flaunts one of the most persuasive design handset in recent memory. Aesthetic, reminiscent of other high-end smartphones Motorola's fixed, but is able to separate themselves, thanks to the remarkable razor thin design and slant angles from them.

Right off the bat, he is mesmerized by "0.32 (7.1 mm) thickness – makes it the thinnest smartphone on the market. However, it is not common because of ybwsi to the top, where the camera sensors. And complement the svelte appearance, is far from the lightest Smartphone of category size.

For something so minute, some could expect to be exposed, but there is nothing to worry about, because it is made from the finest materials out there. Specifically, it is internally reinforced with stainless steel frame, further supplemented with Kevlar fiber back cover for reinforcement and water repellent nanocoating can absorb certain levels of liquid splashes, but is not completely watertight. Tell the truth, this is easily the most stable pace embedded device, as we have seen, is placed outside the camp Motorola.

You can compare the Motorola RAZR with many other phones, using our imaging tool size.

It is not the first time we see a 4.3 "qHD (960 x 540) appears with Gorilla glass in a Motorola smartphone, but it is new, it has a Super AMOLED advanced table instead of a traditional LCD, a. The cold colors, which is typical for Super AMOLED is also present in the screen of the RAZR.

Granted that uses PenTile matrix option, but it is more than able to generate the token details with 256 ppi pixel densities, which, however, is behind them of upcoming GALAXiAS relationship or posted to the Apple iPhone, which clock in 316 and 326 ppi, respectively.

We are naturally placed him from saturated colors, which are able to produce, although they appear a tad fantasy for some tastes. Throw in the high contrast ratio, dark black and wide viewing angles and well equipped with plenty of Visual treats with our eyes. Still, we will have a greater brightness, mainly from the outside.

Often the phone an Android 2.3. x, we find the same set of capacitive Android buttons at the bottom of the screen – meeting with the microphone located too close to the home button. In the meantime, the front front 1.3-megapixel camera and narrow angle all just above the screen. The square opening in the Front cam is not the most elegant sights, but small sensor captures 720 p HD video of beautiful your face while doing video chat. If you want to show the deep flavor of premium, etched Motorola name in diamond cutting aluminium accents.

On the left side of the phone is a plastic front which hides away earphone reception microSIM cards and microSD card slot, to supplement the internal memory of 8 GB.

Instead find the power button on the top side of the phone, like most other recent devices, this time located on the right hand edge volume rocker, which we prefer. Between the two is the power button a little more put in connection with the volume rocker, which is very short for comfortable operation, paddle sense and not as tactile as key lock.

The top edge of the House claims phone handset 3.5 mm headphone jack, microUSB port and microHDMI port. In order to believe that it is all there really is an impressive device is razor thin!

Finally, the 8-megapixel auto focus camera with Led Flash and grilled speakerphone all crammed to the recipient of the ybwsi, which is a slight bulge. If you want to preserve the appearance of mucous, Motorola has opted to keep the battery with the exception of the world – we need to send it away to be replaced.
Overall, manages the RAZR to escape the standard black plastic rectangle "of several Androids by cutting corners, slim waistline and Kevlar on the back. But if you do not know that they are Kevlar, prefer a comfortable feeling of touch soft plastic and they touted "metallic accents" are mainly only small plate with the trade mark in front. RAZR is thin, but it is quite large for the screen 4.3 "packages and some will find uncomfortable with his hand.

Samsung Galaxy M Pro Preview

Introduction:

The Samsung Galaxy M Pro seems to illustrate very well the different categories in Samsung's new way of titling its smartphones. “M” should stand for “Mid-tier”, a level above the entry “Y”, and indeed, when compared to the Galaxy Y Pro, the Galaxy M Pro is taller, wider, and better looking. It also sports beefed up processor and rear camera, as well as adds a front-facing one. The screen resolution is higher than in the Y Pro at the same size, leading to better pixel density.

Are these upgrades enough to justify a price point in the higher bracket, or are they just granular improvements that don't bring along much differentiation? Read on our impressions from the prototype unit to find out...

Design:

We immediately have to say that the larger size of the Samsung Galaxy M Pro, compared to the Y Pro, is resonating with our big hands. The added width and length don't make the handset feel much bigger, since it is also thinner than the Y Pro, while carrying the same light weight, but they make it much more comfortable for typing.

You can compare the Samsung Galaxy M Pro with many other phones using our Size Visualization Tool.

While our thumbs were hitting two or three keys at once looking for the right letter before, on the Samsung Galaxy M Pro, with its spacing between the larger chiclet-style domed buttons, we felt right at home firing away messages. The keyboard's layout is plain and standard, which is a welcome thing, since everything is right where you expect it to be.

The 2.6” touchscreen display is capable of displaying more colors than the one on the Galaxy Y Pro, and is also with higher 480x320 pixels of resolution, increasing pixel density, and thus making text and website details appear more distinct and easily readable.

The 5MP camera on the back is now being accompanied by an LED flash, and the back cover is partially made of brushed metal, which, coupled with the two-tone chassis, make for a distinguished enough outer shell, which is easy to handle. Moreover, the physical navigational buttons and  optical pad below the display are a comforting tribute to the days when we actually felt when we were pressing on something to induce an action.

Motorola DROID BIONIC vs HTC ThunderBolt vs Samsung Droid Charge vs LG Revolution

Introduction: The big news from Verizon Wireless earlier this year at CES 2011 was their new 4G LTE Android smartphones that were on display. The first one that was released was the HTC ThunderBolt in March, followed by the Samsung Droid Charge and the LG Revolution. Now the circle is complete, as the highly anticipated Motorola DROID BIONIC has hit the stores. All four of these smartphones have similarities, but in this four-way comparison we’re also going to take a look at their differences, as well as and point out things that we like and don’t like about them.

Design:

These four smartphones share a similar “candy bar” form factor, but each one looks and feels a bit different. Coming in at 5.04 oz, the Samsung Droid Charge is the lightest of the bunch, but we didn’t care for its slippery plastic body, which makes the phone feel cheap and that it could slip from your hand at any moment. Though we do appreciate the larger power and volume buttons on the side. It is also the only one that uses real push-buttons below the display, which can prevent accidental presses.

The Motorola DROID BIONIC is slightly heavier at 5.60 oz, but is the thinnest at only 0.40” thick near the bottom, though it does become slightly thicker at the top due to the camera hump. We like its overall solid construction and the glossy gray frame that encompasses the beveled-edge glass on the front, as well as the soft-touch coating on the back. When holding the device, it feels sturdy in the hand and fits quite nice.

The LG Revolution comes in at 6.06 oz, but is also the tallest out of the four. Because of this, the device feels like a brick in our hand and has almost no style to it, which we don’t care for.

Meanwhile, the HTC ThunderBolt is the heaviest at 6.23 oz and thickest at 0.56”, which did weigh-down our hand when talking on the phone for a while, or when using the web browser for an extended period of time, but it also felt quite solid and sturdy. We did like the two-tone gray color combination that is used and the kickstand on the back.

Display:

One of the most important features of any smartphone is its display, as you will be continually viewing it while using different apps, browsing the web, or taking pictures. All four of these smartphones have a 4.3” display, which is pretty much the standard size, but it would have been nice if at least one had a larger screen.

The one on the Samsung Droid Charge stands out, as it is the only Super AMOLED Plus display in the group, but still has a WVGA resolution of 480x800 pixels. The HTC ThunderBolt and LG Revolution have a standard TFT display, also capable of WVGA resolution, while the Motorola DROID BIONIC has a PenTile Matrix TFT Display, which means there are white sub-pixels with the RGB ones, and has a qHD resolution of 540x960.

Even though all these technical specifications sound interesting, the real key is how they perform in a variety of lighting conditions. We used several test images on the displays with the brightness turned all the way up, and found the results interesting.

When viewing indoors or in a dark environment, the Samsung Droid Charge produced the most saturated colors and had the highest contrast levels, but this over-saturation can cause images to “jump” out at you – though some may prefer this – but it also has a tendency for whites to have a blue hue to them. Despite this, the display on the Droid Charge did have the best viewing angles, where you could look at it from all four sides without any major shift in color or brightness. The HTC ThunderBolt and Motorola DROID BIONIC also did a good job for inside viewing of images and web text, but you have to look at the display mostly head-on, as any off-axis viewing will cause a loss of color and contrast. We also noticed that the PenTile display on the DROID BIONIC can occasionally create a “screen door” effect, though it seems to be most prevalent when primary colors are shown – such as blue text on a green background – or when watching videos. The LG Revolution  produced average colors, but images and text didn’t look sharp and clear as the other phones.

We then took the phones outside in direct sunlight, and the display on the DROID BIONIC was the brightest and easiest to view (as long as it was head-on), followed closely by the Samsung Droid Charge with its wider viewing angles. Meanwhile, the displays on the HTC ThunderBolt and LG Revolution were not easily visible and appeared dark.

Motorola DROID BIONIC Review

Introduction:

We’ve heard the good old saying that timing makes all of the difference with things, but in the case of the Motorola DROID BIONIC, its journey has transcended most others namely due to the constant uncertainty surrounding it. Come to think about it, we managed to grasp the handset way back in January during CES 2011 – and now it has taken nearly 8 months to materialize in the flesh. On top of that, it’s now the fourth 4G LTE smartphone with Big Red, which might not seem as profound as if it were launched much sooner, but it’s able to differentiate itself for being the first 4G LTE smartphone to pack a dual-core processor.

Already, the stigma attached to Verizon’s 4G LTE smartphones is that they’re chunky, unwieldy, and pack vociferous appetites for battery life. Well folks, it seems that Motorola has been doing some tweaking and tinkering during the long journey as the Motorola DROID BIONIC attempts to shed those associations seeing that it’s the thinnest and lightest of the bunch – while offering the highest capacity battery as well. Possessing a combination of impressive advanced functionality and wicked hardware under the hood, there’s no kidding that the handset is future proof. But at $299.99, it’s still one pricey investment that will make some people reconsider – let’s see if it’s worth it!

Product Safety & Warranty Information

Design:

Having received a significant redesign from the one we first saw at CES, the Motorola DROID BIONIC is still a nice looking phone – and that’s all we can say about the device. It’s not great nor overly compelling like the original Motorola DROID X, but rather, it stands out amongst the 4G LTE pack for its lightweight (5.6 oz) feel and attempt to be streamlined at (0.43” thick) its thinnest point. However, as much as Motorola wants to tout its thinner design, it actually bulges towards the top where the camera’s sensors are placed – much like what we see on the DROID X. Nevertheless, it feels solid all-around thanks to its tough plastic exterior, beveled contours, soft touch rear cover, and metallic looking paint job.

You can compare the Motorola DROID BIONIC with many other phones using our Size Visualization Tool.

By now, it might not have the same effect as before, but that doesn’t stop the DROID BIONIC’s 4.3” qHD (540 x 960) display with Gorilla Glass to be one of its standouts. Again, it’s not something new to the table since we’ve seen it done by the DROID X2. Obviously, we’re mesmerized by its brilliant and detailed output, which is further supplemented by its radiant color production. However, it suffers from the same poor viewing angle issue plaguing the DROID 3. Specifically, tilting the phone just a bit away from a straight 90-degree angle results in colors fading tremendously.

Sitting beneath the display are the usual cast of capacitive Android buttons that are less prone to accidental pressing since they’re positioned far enough from the edge of the handset. Meanwhile, a front-facing VGA camera sits directly above the display, which makes good use of Google Talk’s video chat feature since it’s an Android 2.3.4 device.

Unfortunately, we’re not fans of the handset’s volume rocker and dedicated power button since they’re narrow and difficult to make out with our finger. Even worse, the straight edge that the power button is sitting on makes it even more frustratingly difficult to activate the button.

In addition to its microUSB port and 3.5mm headset jack, the microHDMI port of the DROID BIONIC offers deep Webtop integration with some of Motorola’s optional accessories for the handset. Still, connecting it to an HD television will get you the usual mirrored experience that we find ever so useful.

Besides all of the brandings plastered on its back, we find its speakerphone notch, directional microphones, and 8-megapixel auto-focus camera with LED flash. Removing the all soft touch back cover, we are greeted to its beefy 1,735 mAh battery, which is the largest one to grace an LTE smartphone thus far. Moreover, we find the 4G LTE SIM card and microSD card slots tucked on top of one another.

RIM BlackBerry Curve 9360 revision

Introduction:

Try to hold the latest BlackBerry bold 9900 for T-Mobile to zap the wallet from all your money, especially when this value is $ 299.99. Similar to what we believe in the past when rim curve favorite line comes to mind as the bears all the wonderful features found with the brothers – and prices is the economic aspect. Continuing the trend, BlackBerry Curve 9360 packs all the typical progressive upgrades over its predecessor, but will be able to determine the same now that we have spoiled some of rand'S current generation of smartphones?

Package contains: RIM BlackBerry Curve 9360Stereo headphonesmicroUSB cableWall ChargerQuick Start GuideSafety and product information
Design:

Retain all design features related to their line of long-lasting, is undoubtedly a path device from a superficial glance. However, what is new and surprisingly refreshing about it all is that sport is a considerably thinner chassis 0.51 thick – a way to make a compact format. Although still uses a shiny plastic display, which can easily be treated in the back, looks like the discreet processing of offers a smart gun metal face. The choice of materials has also made it possible to feel extremely easy. We can not help but think about the 8900 curve with Show and all, but the curve 9360 manages to take the cake with Razor sudden appearance.

You can compare RIM BlackBerry ambit 9360 with many other phones imaging tool for our size.

See the first Visual improvement immediately, have a slightly larger "TFT display with a 2.44 higher resolution 480 x 360-in terms of resolution QVGA excursion 3 g. combine size and resolution, leads to 246 ppi, which allowed the production of many details you to readily visible from a great distance fine text. In addition, the colors are crisp and deep tone fully complements the already Nice looks. Throw in some good viewing angles and high brightness output, more than equipped to lighting up the room.

Faithful to the sibling elements, we find the optical track pad and BlackBerry buttons at the bottom of the screen. Of course, navigation is achieved easily using the trackpad, physical buttons are a little too stiff, as we like to.

So easily seen from a distance, it is a handset some sort of curve due to separate keyboard user. We, as usual, you are greeted with the same layout used by his predecessors, which also consists of these hardened plastic buttons pretty small. Overall, turn off the border and rigid limits our response rate – but certainly some patience can finally experience tolerable. We are certainly more conscious in our writing, compared with 990 bold. Not only is buttons smaller in size, but if necessary, to push steadily down a key to post. Again, is not entirely wrong, if you have some patience.

On both sides, we find a microUSB port for charging and data connectivity, a 3.5 mm jack for headphones, lock button, pressing the right stiff sense, convenience and volume rocker. In the meantime, there is a 5 megapixel snapper back together with Flash PART near as "Curve" name and speakerphone position clearly sits in the middle. Finally, pull the rear plastic cover us access to the SIM card slot, small 1000 mAh battery and microSD card slot.

Nokia 701 review

Introduction:

If we are asked features that will improve the current smartphones, aside from the obvious contender battery life, one of our response to the brightness of the screen. Average population density of pixels we can live with, but the lighter less annoying outdoors, especially if you have the old yellow star shining directly on the screen of your phone when you are trying to find a contact or to check a Web site.

Nokia 701 manages to include in the brightest screen on a mobile phone so far with nits 1000-Nokia E6 was a former champion here with 900 nits. Buzz is a little outside the LG Optimus black, for example, 700 nits about 50%. Nokia 701, but uses Symbian, which is clunkier than Android, and have smaller apps to choose from.

The platform is not freezing of Nokia, however – and at the same time to work on Windows Mobile phones Nokia, a manufacturer has followed by the new Symbian Belle, who has many UI elements with Android and other mobile modern operating systems, so it is the brightest screen out there along with Belle a beautiful combination to revive the enthusiasm about Symbian handsets lure? Read our review of the Nokia 701 to learn ...

Package contains: handsetWall chargermicroUSB cable Stereo Nokia 701 headphones with microphone
Design:

The handset is quite thin at 0.80 "(11 mm), but not anorexic as the number of sub-10 mm, which is however mainly expensive high-end handsets. Nokia 701 loaded most of the new package Symbian Belle and designing sports a premium material as easily detachable metal battery cover. The rest of plastic, but sturdy variety, and the phone feels quite solid in the hand. We also, which seems a bit like a game graves also rounded corners. Back home by any 8MP Nokia-focused shooter with dual LED flash.

You can compare Nokia 701 with many other phones imaging tool for our size.

Now let's cut to the chase and analyzes sweet 3.5 "screen LED-led IPS-LCD with 360 x 640 pixels and ClearBlack technology, which reduces reflections outside. Screen manages glow like a crazy diamond with 1000 nits of brightness, which is great. Compared to some other phones is next to sunlight outdoors, was more visible in an accelerator.

See below pictures from our comparison of Nokia 701 screen iPhone 4, sporting 600 nits above average, and Samsung Galaxy S II, which applies to approximately 400 nits:
You will enjoy a very decent viewing angles for Nokia 701. Image produced by the screen is fine, intense, but not overly saturated colors. One of the major disadvantages for Symbian is aiming mainly to 360 x 640 monitors, but 3.5-incher of 701, pixel density is above average, so no complaint about it. Round items with letters from smaller font sizes will still be thanked, but sometimes.

Note the check box button dedicated voice, keeping a low profile on the right between the volume control keys. Should be useful when running, for example, and you want fire maps application, or to go from the music player, but with limited functionality that only calls on apps, and it is not a complete solution.

Introduction: Sony Ericsson Xperia ray does not matter how you slice it, the quintessence of ærefyldt. It is stylish, with bikini waistline and glossy black with mirror face, available in various colors, sporting the latest version of Android made of overlapping Times cape, and has the famous Exmor R sensor, 8MP camera.

From the appearance of only a very few things can destroy this munchkin, among them would be a potential high price. It is so? Read our review of Sony Ericsson Xperia ray where we try to solve the puzzle you ...

Design:

As a small touchscreen go smartphones, Sony Ericsson Xperia ray is almost the perfect size, not directed against the Palm, if you have large hands and excellent, if you're a regular place. The handset is a then the thinnest smartphones in 0.87 (9.4 mm), and feathers in just 3.53 oz (100 g). We have also noticed the radius of the Xperia is very convenient for a right-handed operation due to the thumb dimensions-just go everywhere as an anteater tongue.

You can compare Sony Ericsson Xperia ray with many other phones imaging tool for our size.

A large part in the middle of the phone screen out positive plays, as there are 3.3 "LCD, and Sony Ericsson does not tsigkoyneyeste on the level of detail in the image come RADIUS Xperia with 854 x 480 pixels – high enough resolution for a monitor of this size. Linking to a pixel density calculator, 297ppi returned just shy of 300ppi. The border became mainstream knowledge when Steve Jobs introduced the 326 ppi for iPhone screen from the retina 4, and said that a normal human eye more than around 300ppi cannot detect individual pixels from 10-12 centimeters of distance.

Unlike the Xperia, Sony Ericsson Xperia for ray screen sport fairly wide viewing angles, with nary a change in the contrast or brightness when seen from extreme situations. Comment, with more than the average brightness and visibility from the outside and very good sensitivity, and say that RADIUS Xperia flaunts one of the best small LCD screens you have experienced so far.

This only makes a rather provocative angle, the latest version of Android-2.3 Melopswmo, but when you add Exmor R sensor, 8MP camera with LED video light (radiant!, you cannot use it as a flash, must be activated manually), which has advantages, Sony Ericsson Xperia arc, we would have a terrible category opponent.

Unlike the Sony Ericsson Xperia Xperia RADIUS arc, sports a VGA camera with front facing to the conversation, but omitted HDMI – something that had to give up. There are also only 300 MB user-accessible ROM to applications and a microSD card 4 GB included in the package.

Sony Ericsson Xperia ray is the first hit retail with new Xperia line design, which boasts a huge semi-circle half round the middle of a physical home button as well as two capacitive keys hair. Dare to say that it is better than the previous design was too thin buttons arranged in an arc below the screen, which trains whisky.

Resulting design looks very elegant – a slim handset with glossy black front, but at the same time, the choice of pink, black, white and gold colors. It is actually one of the few phones that even better in person our shots, not glossy front of the justice. Has every opportunity to get the hearts of lovers of design awareness and/or female smartphone, plus performance and functionality at the front. The only thing we don't like is the location of the microUSB port on the upper left, which makes use of the phone with the cable attaching something unpleasant.

Samsung Galaxy Y Preview

Introduction:

Samsung keeps churning out smartphones as if there's no tomorrow, stuffing the channels with sometimes marginally different handsets six months after it introduced the previous crop.

The Samsung Galaxy Y is not an exception to this strategy – about half a year since the company launched something like the Samsung Galaxy Mini, for instance, it announced the Galaxy Y, which, according to the new naming scheme, should be an affordable handset for teens or emerging markets.

Some of its specs are marginally better than the Galaxy Mini, like a slightly faster processor and less weight, but the camera is 2MP, for example, against the Galaxy Mini's 3MP, while the screen resolution is the same (QVGA). The biggest improvement seems to be the Android OS version – we are running Gingerbread on the Galaxy Y, but this is not a huge advantage, as software can always be updated.

So does Samsung's fresh naming scheme an event enough to merit a new, largely unchanged, low-end Android entry from the manufacturer six months later, considering it's getting somewhat crowded down there? Read on the preview of our non-final unit to find out...

Design:

The outer appearance of the Samsung Galaxy Y is differentiated from the sea of black plastic rectangles  or ovals with... a silvery back cover and chrome-like sides. Alright, one for the design team here, since it found a cheap way to break from the mould. Moreover, the battery cover is dotted like snake skin, which makes the phone easier to hold for our slippery, shaking hands.

You can compare the Samsung Galaxy Y with many other phones using our Size Visualization Tool.

The basic 3” LCD display has the pretty appalling 240x320 pixels of resolution, but the colors are fairly bright. We know it's an entry level Android from Samsung, but a slightly larger screen would have made a big difference, or a slightly better resolution than the previous low-ends even.

Overall, the Samsung Galaxy Y chassis looks and feels like the manufacturer is skimping on many features, including telling design, in order to stay mass market and affordable, but the two-toned shell is somewhat of a compensation.

Samsung ΓΑΛΑΞΊΑ Xcover προεπισκόπησης

Indledning:

Selvom vi har hørt mere end et par historier smartphones overlevende alle typer misbrug – være faldet fra en planet, oregano eller løb over en bil, at nævne et par eksempler, er generelt temmelig sårbare enheder. Samsung Xcover GALAXiAS, men du ønsker ikke at adlyde denne unwritten lov og bevoksninger ud med certificering af IP67. Kort fortalt, brummer formodes for at være resistente over for støv, snavs, og iltnings i vand op til 1 meter i 30 minutter.

Men for at kunne modstå elementerne, betyder ikke, at varen tilhører GALAXiAS Xcover telefon kapacitet. Det er powered by Android 2.3.4 Melopswmo, Pack skærmen HVGA 3,65-tommers 3,2 megapixel kamera og en lommelygte med gunst tilbage. Bortset fra disse har du en GPS, Wi-Fi og en 7.2 Mbps HSDPA, 3 G-radio...

I teorien er Samsung Xcover GALAXiAS så som en blanding mellem en smartphone og en hård telefon, der kombinerer forskellige bits af to verdener. Men det endelige resultat fra sådanne salat virkelig fortjener deres opmærksomhed? Lad os kigge tæt på den oprindelige enhed, som vi har her og se, hvis vi kan besvare dette spørgsmål.

Design:

Kun en kort inspektion af Samsung Xcover GALAXiAS er nok til at indse, at denne smartphone menes at være strengere end resten. Håndsættet kan ganske vist ikke blandt de smukkeste vi nogensinde har set, men det føles fast i hånden, trods det faktum, at Parlamentet er udelukkende af plast. Mærkeligt nok, vi bemærkede, at holde smartphone giver indtryk af, at du bruger en større enhed, men, opererer med en enkelt hånd er en nem proces. Håndsæt battericoveret med tekstur giver en smule mere GRIP og højderygge på den side af sæt af en fed udseende. Desuden fungerer manglen på Gummibelagt kanter som en påmindelse om, at Xcover er kun holdbare GALAXiAS støv og væsker skader og stød og slip modstand er ikke i repertoiret.

Du kan sammenligne Samsung Xcover med mange andre telefoner GALAXiAS vores imaging værktøj størrelse.

Samsung har valgt for at gå kun fysiske knapper for the Galaxy Xcover. vi er glade for at sige, at alle god ud, hvilket gør at finde dem med tommelfingeren meget let.

Hvad "på forsiden af Samsung Xcover GALAXiAS er modstandsdygtige over for en nul-tommer skærmen 3,65 med anstændige opløsning på 320 x 480 pixel.

Letter af smartphone af bagcoveret er muligt efter untwisting af lås, der har fast i sted. Det er gået, vi er behandlet til en visning af batteri 1500mAh af smartphone, for rammerne skjuler microSD og SIM-kortpladser. Man har også bemærket gummi trim, der findes til at forhindre ødelæggelse af telefon kredsløb fugtighed og støv. Telefonens isolering vil ikke være færdig, uden flytbare dækker, både 3,5 mm stik til hovedtelefoner og microUSB port beskyttet af.

Samsung Xcover GALAXiAS giver generelt indtryk af en kontinuerlig enhed uden at være overdrevent macho om det. Som det er tilfældet med andre holdbare apparater, er smartphone endnu, ikke at appellere til øjet. At beskyttelse mod skader af støv og vand ikke er nok at sætte GALAXY Xcover på toppen af fødekæden, såsom smartphone forrevne håndsættet er stadig sårbar over for stød og dråber.

The game with these feelings is a risky, but Sony Ericsson Walkman Mix takes the risk of increasing brand Walkman from the ashes in a phone function of the budget.

Motorola DROID vs DROID Motorola 3 X 2

Introduction: last year, mainly Motorola DROID found x very bad reputation for taking over the Motorola DROID 2 mainly due to the enormous stature that gave big red the first larger than life Android powered smartphone. Fast forward to this, we can find their successors closely released to another, and as usual, people are curious to find out exactly who is going to be out-duel each other is calculated as better than. Fundamentalist same tag price of $ 199.99 on contract-there is no doubt that much is at stake here – even more when they are both products of quality, who are fighting for position at the top.

Design:

While most of the features of their predecessors, no one could escape so dramatically better designed or manufactured. This time, however, Motorola DROID 3 supersizes meet strictly the Leviathan of DROID X 2 – size of the total size that is too close to each other. Although DROID X 2 seems to be a streamlined machine, is the thickest part of body that houses the camera actually thicker than the whole body of DROID 3, which is quite impressive, considering the physical keyboard this packaging. Notwithstanding this, the two steadily built and manufactured from fine materials to incorporate all the qualities that you would normally connect devices at the upper end of the spectrum. However, we are in the hands of DROID 3 mainly because sporting design update – the DROID X 2 is an exact facsimile of his predecessor.

In addition to hue in size, shows the quality is very close to each other, but more important, they feel safe wow factor for reeling in people. On the one hand, you can find a larger 4.3 "LCD monitor with DROID X 2, but the DROID 3 is able to impress with table 4" LCD. In view of the fact that both offer resolution qHD (540 x 960), the DROID is able to strofaloforoi the highest density of pixels from its rival, but when actually looking two, both to be able to generate enough sharp detail that total more than on the screen. The same can be said for the production of Output color, brightness and viewing angle. So in the end we are satisfied with the quality of the two monitors with neither a majorly triumphing over another.
Search physics Android buttons with DROID X 2, it is almost impossible to hit by accident. In the meantime DROID 3 maintains the normal set of Android capacitive buttons, but like the competition, we are pressing them accidentally often thanks to this lip on it, which allows us to be comfortable grip hand set.

Already, we find DROID 3 in good lighting conditions with the included front-facing camera for video calls – despite the fact that only one unit 3 g. DROID is apparently, not an X 2 pack, which goes to Show the additional functionality that is available with its rival.

Between the two devices prefer Motorola DROID actually X 2 dedicated power button and volume rocker because you a decent pronunciation and easy turning without much power.
Fortunately, the two Android powered smartphones feature experience of same microUSB and microHDMI ports on the sides – with the latter allows both to give us a picture to a set of high-definition television.

With regard to things around backwards, we find two packaging units along the 8-megapixel Auto-focus cameras – although DROID X 2 performs a dual-LED flash, unlike the one with the DROID 3. Although we like to light from DROID by X 2 metallic back cover lasting sense removes it only too easily, and even it seems while passively sitting in our pockets. DROID 3 sport on the other hand, a plastic snap there that is very difficult to pull off – but at least staying strictly. When removed, you must have access to the batteries and microSD card slots, but again adding potential, the DROID 3 has a socket for SIM card in order to make it possible to work abroad.

Finally, manages the Motorola DROID (3) of the virtual landscape style QWERTY keyboard to complete earphone of exclusive set of features. Of course, we totally adore the convenience factor, which brings to the table as an updated layout and design is remarkably polished on so many levels – making it one of the best keyboards out there on the market.

LG Optimus review 3D (emotions 4 G)

Getting Started:

LG Optimus 3D, is expected to hit coasts at and t as LG emotions 4 G, aims to deliver more than most other high-end devices. With dual-core processor, dual cameras and dual-channel memory, a triple-double, but this will be enough to be noticed in the packed high-end Android space? Dual-core chip TI OMAP4430 is one of the most talented performers will have a dual core and seen in combination with a 512 MB dual channel memory, making butter Android experience seamless. Then there is the 3D-4.3-inch screen is excellent-looking glasses-free 3D, while the two rear cameras will help you to create your own three-dimensional content. Factor in full HD video recording, and 2D you can get the benefits of 3D Optimus, but this also has its weaknesses, as well as – is voluminous, comes with Android Froyo instead of Melopswmo and overall image quality is disappointing.

Design:

LG Optimus 3D tips scales at 5.93 ounces (168 grams) and is an important area of 0.29 inches (11.9 mm). Safe, muscle tri-double justified to some extent, and the large volume of make it look solid in the hand, but the phone probably feels overweight today standards.

You can compare LG Optimus 3D with many other phones size visualization tool.

4.3-inch LCD screen with 480 x 800 pixels is the key to success in the 3D central telephone. In spite of everything, is one of the front runners of 3D Parallax displays on a phone with 3D HTC EVO. When in standard mode 2D, have good view screen angles, but a little disappointing to read in direct sunlight.

But how does it work without 3D glasses? A long press "3D" on the right trigger magic screen, and enables Parallax barrier to feed your eyes with 3D images and videos, as you can see without glasses. The technology works through an additional Parallax hand plate above the typical screen blocks part of the image to each eye, so you can see a slightly different variant of the same image in each eye. This creates great results with some restrictions-you should be willing to sacrifice quality, as you have only to look half horizontal resolution and should reach straight across the screen. Apart from its side, you will see only the nuances and you will not receive a sensation of depth, meaning that only one person at a time can enjoy 3D.

We must show the effect 3D in unprepared spectators and the initial response was very positive. But while everyone is enthusiastic about deepening and realistic 3D image or a video, after two minutes looking at 3D content had mixed feelings. We felt a bit tired after a few minutes really dizzy after a few more, so we came to not using detail and based on more traditional 2D mode. The reaction in 3D seems to vary from those with a more tolerant, others less tolerant to those effects, so we recommend spending a few minutes with the handset or below to see how the 3D sample handle.

Take your eyes on the screen, you will notice the plastic build LG Optimus 3D. Comes with soft-touch coating on the back and front brush metal-like finish. The cover ups to feel less plasticky, is good. Below the screen, there are four capacitive buttons gives you solid haptic feedback.

Summarize the plot, the phone seems big, bulky, but well built and very seriously with almost down to the business world looks boring and grayish color. If you do not disrupt the obese region in the middle and large be in heft, you will be rewarded with a phone packing plenty of muscles and functionality.

HTC review status

Introduction: Have you updated your status on Facebook recently? Now you don't have an excuse with the new HTC situation, which is available from at&t. the situation is almost an exact copy of HTC ChaCha sold from abroad, such as the two come with similar hardware, and don't forget useful Facebook button in front. Thanks to its low price of $ 49 with a 2-year contract is the HTC system a welcome addition to the persons seeking an Android smartphone with built-in social network that doesn't break the Bank.

Included in the package retail are PH06130 situation HTC smartphone, 1250mAh battery charger, microUSB cable wall with detachable memory card, SanDisk microSD 2 GB and user guides.

Design:

HTC fits comfortably in your hand and is extremely thin and easy to 1.75 "4.32 oz. can youthful color white, silver and blue for some, but it is refreshing from the torrent of smartphones all-black look everywhere.

You can compare the HTC with several other phones size visualization tool.

The screen on the scheme is just 2.6 "in size, which is on the short side, but with HVGA resolution, images are clear and more text sharp, except when you use your Web browser (more on this later). We can expect that some people will be disabled from the lower than average screen size, especially when other phones sport a screen 4.3 ", but HTC is not a high-end phone for a super user, as it is designed for the teenage audience-20. 2.6 "screen worked fine when use the HTC sense UI, desktop widgets and a Facebook app. the only real problem is when using your Web browser, such as the text on webpages is too small to view, so often had to zoom to make the text large enough to read it. The screen can also be a little dark when viewing in direct sunlight, so they can fill it with your hand.

Below the screen, there are four capacitive buttons, the send button and the end and a full QWERTY keyboard that is arranged in four rows. These keys are a little small and bigger fingers tap easily to more than one at the same time, so please be cautious with the letter you want to press. What I am about this, is that each key is a curve of the Centre, gives a nice tactile sensation, and to give a noticeable click when you reply. In the bottom right is the exclusive Facebook button, which will take you directly to a screen where you can type in your wall entry, send a picture from your camera or collection, and even to send a message to a friend on Facebook. Located at the left end of the phone is a combination of a volume rocker, which can be confusing to use, if you press close to the Centre.

T-Mobile myTouch 3 G slide

Getting Started:

Rejoice! T-Mobile myTouch 3 G slide is us! We could possibly see a happy HTC branded Android smartphone excelling in section under photos, where other HTC devices with high-caliber has failed in the past. Without question, apparently pleased with this because the camera is widely touted as possibly is one of the best there, which is interesting considering that the photo capture is not a highlight you would expect from a QWERTY based on the handset. T-Mobile myTouch 3 G slide is not, however, although clumsy in any way, because the upgrade packs some Beefy hardware under the hood opponents a good Run for their money. Sport as all very emotional gold price of $ 200 to the contracts of the recently released HTC sense 4 G for T-Mobile composition may have something to worry about.

Package includes: T-Mobile myTouch 3 G SlidemicroUSB cableWall ChargerStart Guide Terms and conditions
Design:

On the surface, the receiver maintains a recognizable design featured between the myTouch family line and basically resembles an exact facsimile to myTouch 3 G, which we can say with a stylish set of Bbq and ornate location of physical buttons at the bottom of the screen. Compared to its predecessor, we like to feel remarkably polished with more solid construction, plastics outer, Pocket cradle and less regulation appearance (with thick 0.55 "). Still, pack a bit of weight with the arm, but contributes only refined outlook. Generally, it is without doubt a better product than the previous one, but it comes as something more attractive relative to some other QWERTY design based smartphones – like T-Mobile G2 or Motorola DROID 3.

You can compare T-Mobile myTouch 3 G slide with many other phones size visualization tool.

This time, it takes a large 3.7 ' WVGA (480 x 800) LCD Super manages to capture our attention with crisp detail and vibrant color tones – but it is not as comprehensive as a Super AMOLED plus table. However, it is enough to keep Alive in glistening colors all production, view angles. The level of brightness is probably bound to the output, because we still find ourselves having to shield it from the Sun, in order to clearly see something on the screen.

Eradicated, it is refreshing to find an optical trackpad remained in the game with the handset, which allows for an easier time available to the pointer. Also, it will BARRAGE HSPA +-enabled handset features ubiquitous camera-facing, the front for video chat. We do not, however, that the exclusive power of the rocker button and volume is extremely flat head – which makes it very difficult, feel them.
We have already seen devices like the T-Mobile G2 and Sidekick kick butt 4 G together with fantastic keyboards, but unfortunately, one on slide 3 G, myTouch is a step backwards. First and foremost, there is considerable resistance in the manual sliding mechanism that locks in place when I open it completely. Once this is done, we accept keyboard QWERTY, 4-line employs some flat rectangular buttons. Although we can still feel them with our fingers, we're not delighted with the response we are erwtimatologia welcomed when pressing down on them This hampers actual actual our ability to effectively form speed, this requires a firm press to recognize anything.
A prominent position on the back we find increased 8-megapixel camera, Auto focus and dual LED flash-arguably the center piece of the whole phone. The back of the motion sensor and bright F/2.2 lens provides a wider aperture to excel in low light conditions, which we hope will must translate produces roughly beautiful photographs. Yanking back of soft touch, we can get access to 1,242 mAh battery, SIM card slot and microSD card slot – Finally, which is occupied by a card 8 GB.

Sony Ericsson Xperia ray preview

Introduction and design: three new Sony Ericsson phones, among whom was the Sony Ericsson Xperia ray, announced quite hush in CommunicAsia 2011 before a couple of weeks. Looking at the Display unit in our hands, we believe that the handset is actually deserved greater attention brought to it.

As a small touchscreen go smartphones, it is almost the perfect size, not directed against the Palm, if you have large hands, and if you're a regular position admirably. RADIUS Xperia is one of the thinnest smartphones in 0.87 (9.4 mm) and feathery in just 3.53 oz (100 g), plus we noticed that the handset is very convenient for a right-handed operation due to dimensions.

A large part in the middle of the phone screen out positive plays, which is 3.3 "LCD, a breath of fresh air after the huge 4" + Android phones since the Sony Ericsson didn't skimp on the level of detail in the image comes with a RADIUS Xperia 480 x 854 pixels-one of the highest resolutions have dealt with on a screen this size. Plugging in numbers into a calculator 299ppi for density for pixel returned just shy of the threshold "Retina" 300ppi. Sony Bravia has furthermore Mobile engine, improved color intensity and contrast while viewing images or videos.

This only makes a rather provocative angle, running the latest version of Android 2.3 Melopswmo, but when you add Exmor R sensor, 8MP camera with LED video light (radiant!, you cannot use this as a flash), which showed that the benefits of the Sony Ericsson Xperia arc, can have a terrible category opponent.

In addition, could swing the Sony Ericsson Xperia ray from the first to hit the retail design new Xperia line with a huge semi-circle semicircular in mid-November to a physical home button, and both capacitive keys hair. Dare to say that it is better than the previous design was too thin buttons arranged in arch beneath the screen, which trains whisky. Unlike the Sony Ericsson Xperia Xperia RADIUS arc springer sports a VGA camera-facing front for conversation, but to HDMI – the better. There are also only 300 MB ROM, microSD card, but a 4 GB included in the package.

Resulting design looks very elegant – a thin handset with glossy black front, but free at the same time, the choice of pink, black, white and gold colors. In fact, it is one of the few phones that even better in person at our shots, not glossy front of the justice. Has every opportunity to get the hearts of lovers of design awareness and/or female smartphone, plus performance and functionality at the front. The only thing we don't like is the location of the microUSB port on the top left, which makes use of the phone with the cable attaching something unpleasant.

Motorola DROID vs. HTC Thunder 3

Introduction: a blow for a good fight, Verizons lineup is stacked to the shade with some quality Android smartphones, covering every bit of the spectrum – so in power or speed of data processing, to worry about most, you are fully covered. Of course, have the HTC Thunder Wave Riding success that the airline from the first 4 G LTE is enabled at the smartphone, but nothing relevant technology, the status of top level split would, of course, the residual energy over time. With this knowledge, the Motorola DROID 2 coming from out of the shadows to take back to the spotlight and shine this favorite DROID original line again. Who is going to be on top this?

Design:

On the surface seem to be two quite similar to conventional slate look – even if the DROID 3 receives landscape QWERTY sliding form factor. Frankly, the industrial designs don't come as dramatically different from cultivation, but Thunder is significantly better to hold in your hand, rounded corners and curved edges. At the same time Enjoy the safe metal such as intestines filled with plenty of soft-touch coated rears, allowing them to appear to be fairly clean at all times. The total size is nearly identical, but it is impressive to find DROID 3 sporting actually thinner than 0.5 thick box – especially when packing in this spacious landscape keyboard. However, there is no consensus that manages to capture our attention, since we are using the same solid construction and design cookie cutter.

Just so the DROID 3 display exhibits more details thanks 4 Show qHD (540 x 960), resulting in a higher pixel density of the criticized 4.3 "LCD Super WVGA (480 x 800) table. We accept, however, of the sharp detail, which allows the fine text visible above the eye. However, we prefer ivory color production, since they are able to pump the most vibrant colors tonnes between two. With just a smidgen more it is obvious that the DROID 3 total Luminosity output is stronger – even though we still find ourselves to Armor two devices outdoors in the Sun around.
The Lip is subtly graspable not accidentally pressing issues the usual set of Android capacitive buttons on DROID 3. On the other hand, we still do so with the Lightning since they are placed (are) positioned close to the edge.

Overall, DROID 3 uses power prominent key and the volume rocker – but we are not fans of erwtimatologia your answer. Instead he criticized physical buttons is fairly flat in stature, but at least produce a better tactile feeling when pressed.

Still more prominent among the top-end smartphones, we find the Motorola DROID (3) of the microHDMI port is particularly gratifying to see that allows for quick and easy sharing of multimedia content – not to mention offering to ever so useful experience in the image. Unfortunately missing Lightning a specific item of illuminating the entire clock is charming. Maybe next time?

Some similarities between the two include cameras facing front for conversation and taking portraits of themselves flying, microUSB charging and data ports for connectivity, microSD card slot and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Fans photo will undoubtedly suffer, that the two smartphones feature 8-megapixel Auto-focus cameras in the rear. Lightning complement things with a dual-LED flash, unlike the one about DROID 3. Provocative, both phones deliver their own unique characteristics to differentiate them from each other. Specifically, text messengers adore really spacious and absolutely useful physical keyboard of the Motorola DROID (3). And, in fact, even we stop not throw Motorola with love for the raffinering view virtual keyboard! At the same time, HTC Thunder enchants people of film using reversal to stand – give us this experience hands-free while watching some of our favorite animations. Verify that you can preserve the Thunderbolt, but to see that the DROID has 3 some sharp edges, we are in a position to fail in the upright position on the page. Motorola DROID (3) 360-degree view:

Pantech pursuit II review

Getting Started:

These days, touchscreen and QWERTY keyboards, have made their way to each part of the Pantech phone and helped bring them to the lower-tier devices with performance of last year. This summer has followed this with the exercise II that makes some significant changes, but largely remains the same. Key features include a 2.8 QVGA touchscreen, keyboard "QWERTY, 2.0 megapixel camera and Bluetooth. Pantech pursuit (II) you will find a microUSB cable and AC adapter.

Design:

When closed, Pantech pursuit II looks like completely original exercise, while the elongated shape and good screen size. The "tændkabler touchscreen 2.8 features 262 k colors and bright rain and vivid, but not particularly well in direct sunlight. Pantech has made a change from a tændkabler capacitive on lab II, which helps the very answer. Exercise II is very slightly higher than the original, but the overall dimensions are still the same.

You can compare the Pantech pursuit II with many other phones size visualization tool.

Despite being offered in pink and green Kermet, colors with II exercise used to organize mainly black accent and the phone has a more mature appearance by exercising more vigorously. Nicely done, with multiple color to give your phone some personality, but it is not enough to make the phone unusable by anyone over the age of 23 years.

The appearance of this phone is good-the slider mechanism is fast and although Pantech not use soft touch on the front of the battery, your phone is not slippery hands. We believe tactile buttons dropped Pantech on Motion for those relating to monitoring, I honestly do not work very well for the first time. This time, be nice and big with a cool green or pink trim accent.

The main difference between these two sides of same coin is that the original was a side-slider, whereas the latest is a portrait of the slide. This of course makes the smaller keyboard, but the keys are large enough, and we were able to write without any problems right from the frame. SPACEBAR is only complaint, but I can imagine this phone will be mainly found in the smaller hands of teenagers.
Pantech did a nice job with II exercise. Improves on many elements from the original performance, while maintaining a quality design. Pantech achieves a satisfactory balance between youth and maturity with the least flashy design and we appreciate the transition to capacitive touchscreen.

Sony Ericsson txt pro review

Introduction: Sony Ericsson txt pro is a compact feature phone with a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Natural keyboard is the most attractive feature as the phone comes with an exclusive application friends for sharing on Facebook and Twitter updates. Pro file are social core – even announced Facebook fan of Sony Ericsson audience of 5 million. The phone is designed to hold heavy texters content with physical keyboard 4-line, but also with an affordable price and Wi-Fi connection.

Battle and death struggle pro file lies in the fact that it is a feature phone with a touch screen, one of the few left there, and will inevitably face comparisons with EON Androids. And inevitably lose. Nevertheless, Sony Ericsson equipped phone with touch interface, 3-inch capacitive touchscreen.

Design:

Sony Ericsson txt pro looks solid, but not with regard to the middle line. And weighs 3.53 oz (100 g), but it is as thick as a brick "0.68 in (18 mm). Scratch-resistant Capacitive Touch 3-inch monitor comes with a resolution of only 240 x 400 pixels. The screen is touch sensitive, but will not say it translates into smooth Flick and interception-the problem seems to stem from the interface or a slow processor. Average viewing angles, but it attracts otherwise, fingerprints, smudges and all forms of human finger wreckage at an alarming rate.

You can compare Sony Ericsson txt pro with our many other phones visualization tool size.

In addition to a monitor is to the design of the device very toyish, a feeling of being transported from plastic materials used for the manufacture of telephone, but also from the thumbnail dimensions. Aside from the fact that Cheap feeling, seems very well structured, and we were very satisfied with the beautiful soft touch coating on the back.

Side of the sliding mechanism will certainly make a success of the common user will POP open and close multiple times during the day. Therefore, we wanted to mention that I was fast in operation. Remove the keyboard and undertaking with a distinct loud by clicking sound (a little too high, actually). We have seen that it is just a little harder to slip in and out of what we would like to, but have used it.

Keyboard QWERTY, 4-line on the Sony Ericsson txt pro is definitely small, but I do not feel packed buttons are well spaced for several hands, but most thumbed its users may still experience difficulties in their operation. However, the majority will not have problems using it. Buttons are a bit hard to press, but have used it in a matter of minutes.
In front of a home button-Chamber, a signature feature of the last phones Sony Ericsson adds direct brand recognition, but is also very large and easy to press, a welcome addition.
