Motorola Sidekick Slide Review
Motorola Sidekick Slide Pros and Cons
In terms of size and width, the most stylish sidekick to date.
HUGE contact list memory available (over 1.5k).
Connection and browsing speed lightning fast.
Excellent display.
Good audio outlet positioning (other moto’s seemed to have failed in this department).
Bad camera (1.3 megapixels? cmon.)
Internal memory pretty crap for a phone of this calibur.
Keypad needs some change/redesigning, too blocky.

Sony-Ericsson Z770 Review
In Thailand I got this really cheap since SE were celebrating some anniversary, so some of the range’s price were significantly discounted.
The Bads:
No zoom or xenon flash (or any flash to start with).
Annoying speaker quality/positioning.
Some Pros:
The browser is a breeze (everything I’ve tried is working, glad for youtube particularly).
Very stylish, metal looks great.
H-res display looks stunning!

LG KF600 Review
Pros: thin stylish design, fast solid connectivity; 2 gig card supplied.
Cons: crappy audio quality, lack of camera specs, no wifi.
Conclusion: Well, it’s stylish and a new phone, but for those obsessing over the latest features and specs, there are much better options available.

Sharp 880sh Review
Lots of people disregard the Sharp 880SH features and the mobile phone itself straightaway, It’s a pretty stylish piece of craft which well, undeniably has copied a lot from Samsung. One advantage over it’s Samsung rivals is the uber lightweight (of only 94g)!. It’s really not the bad rip-off it’s made out to be.

Used to own this bad-boy back in 06. Although it clearly had a lot of issues, I still took a liking to it.
- Pretty shocking camera. Unless the picture was absolutely inanimate, expect savage blurring.
- Can’t create playlists with it.
- Seems like any java app above 3 bytes just times out, it’s ridiculous.
- Lack of bluetooth support; It has it, but many related features can’t be used.
- Can’t use Opera web browser.
- If anymore come to mind…I’ll let you know.
Donate your money to charity instead of buying this, seriously you’ll be much more happy.

The nokia 3555 t-mobile; At least this phone supports the upcoming range in 3G T-Mobile. Otherwise, the phone is plagued with awful specs, obviously the camera to begin with. I saw this at one of my local phone stores on sale for $140, which is pretty awsome regardless of its features and how it works.

One of the less known brands compared to the phone giants, Eten have made a very valuable and affordable smartphone. Unfortunately, my experiences with it aren’t universal - many consider the glofiish a flop due to its mountain of poor functionability and bugginess. Otherwise, If someone’s willing to be unique and step away from the common brands, I couldn’t think of anything better than the eten glofiish x800 phone. However, with its lower price compared to other phones of this calibur on the market, it does have its issues: the glofiish joystick is Really annoying to get used to, and the sound quality could be better for instance. Even the glofiish firmware update to x900 didn’t fix a lot of problems.

I Imagine the first thing people would rant and rage about is the low megapixel camera…but as I say, there’s always something for people to complain about. The 14mb w380i internal memory is a bit of a flop, but isn’t really an issue since the 512 card is provided. The music quality on the phone is great, the speakers and earphones have been going strong for the time I’ve owned it so far. The flip action is pretty smooth, the hinges are solid. Nothing too special about the OS, but all the necessities are there. Haven’t gotten around to test all it’s texting features, but the MMS and Instant messanging is flawless, no lag, hanging, just all smooth.
