Samsung Gravity t450 Review

Well there are many people who prefer to buy phones offered by a brand. Sometimes the brand name becomes synonymous to their style statement. Similar thing holds true for Samsung mobile phone lovers. On November 17, 2008 Samsung has released a new cell phone in the market "Samsung Gravity t450".

Samsung Gravity 3 has got a QVGA display which is capable of displaying 262k colors at a display resolution of 240 x 300 pixels. On the right side of the phone, you can find the microUSB port and a camera launcher button. On the left side of the phone, you can find the volume rocker. In order to access the microSD slot, you will have to uncover the battery cover. The 2 megapixel camera is located at the rear with a single speaker.

Sliding the display of the Samsung Gravity 3 reveals the QWERTY keyboard. The keyboard is the same that is found on the Gravity T. The keys are well spaced but only after you make use of the QWERTY many times you will be able to type without making any error. The internal memory of the phone is 70MB and the external memory can be expanded up to 16GB. The phone functions very smoothly thanks to its 184 MHz processor. Data transfer can be performed with v2.1 Bluetooth and microUSB.

The good old TouchWiz UI of Samsung also functions flawlessly. You can also access your mails on this phone as it includes Exchange support. The T-Mobile Social Buzz application lets you access social networking sites like Twitter, Facebook and MySpace. The Samsung Gravity 3 does not have a music player and you will have to browse to your memory card folder where music tracks are present to listen to music. Sadly, there is no headphone jack present on the phone. From this we can understand that this phone is definitely not a music device.

Samsung Gravity is a slide out phone is a new phone with a unique, eye-catching design. At the first glance, you might say it is very cheap mobile phone. But it is not so. This Samsung handset has a slide out keyboard ( the conventional QWERTY style) that helps in quick and easy typing. Easily one can type the messages to friend and be in touch with them always. Beside this it also has

* 1.3MP camera with video recording facility

* Voice notes

* Mobile Back up facility and much more.

Samsung Gravity t450 is available in different eye soothing color combination of lime with gray & aqua with white. These color combination help in meeting the taste of aesthetics completely.

Hence, what we have seen is that this mobile phone has been manufactured keeping in mind the needs of masses. But some would find it to be an expensive phone, but seeing the features and comparing the prices, their opinion will change too. For more information about this phone or if you are interested in buying Samsung Gravity t450 for yourself contact a mobile phone dealer now.

Motorola ROKR E8 Review

This sleek phone is sure to make heads turn with its stunning looks and sophisticated technology. Motorola ROKR E8 is all about looks, style and great music listening experience. It comes with an interesting back lit touch keypad and a circular direction pad known as “Omega Wheel”. This can be used for menu and music navigation. Motorola has carefully planned this phone with sophisticated technology. Just so, the touch keys don’t get you confused, Rokr E8 has haptics controls, which makes a key vibrate when pressed.

The Motorokr E8 is equipped with a 2 mega pixel camera with a 256 K color QVGA display. There is no flash so if you are having less light, the photographs will not be that good. The phone also has GSM/GPRS along with 2 GB internal memory, microSD memory card slot, FM radio and 3.5 mm headphone jack. You can get this mobile in two different colors, Dark Navy and Platinum. The screen looks small but actually is not! The landscape mode in the phone allows you to have a great widescreen view as well. If you are looking for a basic phone with sleek looks, superior design and innovation, then Motorokr E8 is the one for you.


Main Feature List

In case you didn’t catch the Motorola ROKR E8 the first time around, here are some of the key features and specifications for those of you who have a particular interest in numbers and acronyms.

- Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850/900/1800/1900)
- 115 x 53 x 10.6 mm
- 100 grams
- 2-inch QVGA display with 256K colors
- 3.5mm headset jack
- microSD memory card expansion
- 2GB internal memory
- USB 2.0 connectivity
- Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP
- 2 megapixel camera
- MP3/AAC player
- Stereo FM radio

Conclusion

I used to be a big fan of Motorola products, but as the other manufacturers have continued to step it up with cool new features, better user interfaces, and more interesting designs, Motorola has started to lag behind. The ROKR E8 is supposed to be hip and new, but outside of the “haptics” morphing controls, the ROKR E8 is little more than a dressed version of the SLVR. The feature set is quite good, to be sure, but I was ultimately left quite unsatisfied with the final result.

It’s probably a good idea for me to preface this by saying that I’m generally not a fan of touch-sensitive controls, although I love the use of touchscreens (I use an HTC Wizard as my primary handset). I was hoping that the morphing keypad and “haptics” feedback would overcome some of the shortcomings to many touch-sensitive devices, but it’s really no more responsive than other similar handhelds. With the potential for illumination that gets washed out in bright light, the usability of such a scheme is further diminished.

Motorola should be applauded for trying something new, but I’ll have to disagree with CNET — which gave the ROKR E8 a best of show award in the mobile phone category — and say that Moto’s still got quite a ways to go with the ROKR E8.

Pros
- Very slim profile
- Fashionable and attractive design
- Innovative morphing keypad with “haptics” feedback
- Decent feature set

Cons
- Bumps take away from sleek appearance
- FastScroll wheel doesn’t work very well
- Touch controls are somewhat unresponsive
- Will likely be overpriced
- Not the best menu interface and operating system

Nokia N95 8Giga Specification and Review

Following the market success of Nokia N95, which became a hit with its combined all-in-one functionality, the Finnish company has launched N95 US and N95 8GB, the former model being intended above all to fill the market niche, that was created due to the lack of 3G capabilities in N95 in the USA. The latter model comes as an upgrade of N95, sporting, as its name suggests, an 8 GB in-built memory. Unfortunately, its 3G functionality is still not applicable in the USA, and it can only be used in Europe. Therefore, many of the Nokia fans in America will be let down again by the impossibility to benefit from the phone’s complete functionality.

Setting the scene

But a short summary is in order, at least. The original N95 was intended to be the last word in the classic S60 phone line, i.e. with a typical phone form factor, with (and I'm judging it by the last released firmware, v12 here):

    * S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1, with the combined Web/WAP browser and miniUSB connectivity
    * HSDPA, UPnP and Wi-Fi (all fairly cutting edge in a phone when announced but more       commonplace today)
    * a largish, recessed 2.6" screen
    * an utterly superb 5 megapixel stills camera with great optics, light sensitivity and       options, protected by a physical shutter and spoilt slightly by slow image processing and       slow camera startup
    * a great VGA-res video recorder (producing good video images but only mono sound)
    * a very full set of media software, with all audio and video codecs, video and image editing       suites, online integration
    * the facility to work in portrait or landscape mode
    * a built-in low power GPS with 'Assisted GPS' for fast lock-on times
    * great and tactile d-pad and button set
    * TV out for video echoing of any application or media item to a TV or other video equipment

It was quite a package for a 'phone', but despite the plus points above and even with latest firmware, two big negatives remained. The 950mAh BL-5F battery just wasn't up to the job of powering all the multimedia and comms goodness, with power users of the N95 finding that the battery sometimes didn't last the day and with casual users irritated by having to recharge every single night. Secondly, the free RAM after booting, around 20MB, while enough for lesser S60 3rd Edition devices, wasn't really enough for a device of the N95's ambitions and RAM was prone to run out while (for example) browsing a largish web page, prompting various 'memory errors'.Armed with feedback about the issues above and with one eye fixed firmly on the company's new Ovi strategy, Nokia set about revamping the N95 and trying to fix everything in one go, to produce a worthy flagship phone for 2008. And now it's here, with WOM World kindly sending me one of the very first production N95 8GBs in the world. How has Nokia done?

Design:

One look at the phone is enough to make us realize that its color scheme has been changed from grey to classic black. Another novelty the manufacturer deserves credit for is the expanded display from 2.6” in N95 to 2.8” in this model. On top of that, the display boasts increased sharpness and contrast, compared to that of the original.The expanded display has resulted in decreasing the size of the keys of the navigation keypad, which are also less spaced out. Although they are soft to press and give good tactile feedback, it sometimes happens that you press the wrong key.

Compared to N95, the multimedia keys  that you see when you open the slide downwards, have good relief and give better tactile feedback. The backlight is changed, too – it’s white, rather than blue as in the original model. The keys of the numeric keypad, as well as those located on the right-hand side of the phone, are also backlit in white.

When we look at N95 8GB from its left-hand side, we see that it’s an exact replica of the original, save for the absence of a memory card slot. The phone’s right, upper and lower part have not undergone any change and the arrangement of the keys and the connectors is identical with that of N95.

The positioning of the camera has not changed, either: it is in the upper part of the phone’s back. The difference, however, is that the flash is under the lens and not on the right-hand side, like in N95. Another feature that is easy to notice is the lack of lens cover, which is probably due to the fact that Nokia have replaced the former 940 mAh battery with a new and thicker 1200 mAh one.

A lot of consumers weren’t keen on the make of the original N95 because of the materials it is made of, creating a feeling of a toy phone. In the 8GB version this is replaced by a rubber back and sides, which feel better to touch and also have an anti-slippery effect.


The changes

Although much of the N95 8GB's hardware and software are identical to that of the original, there are more changes than you might think at first glance.

    * The microSD slot is gone, replaced by a fixed 8GB flash disk mounted internally. This appears to the smartphone as disk 'E' in the usual Symbian OS way and all programs should treat this just as if it were an 8GB microSD card. This capacity matches Apple's iPhone and is more than enough for the vast majority of users. For example, it represents 6 HOURS of video recording at full VGA resolution or around 30 hours of commercial movies at QVGA resolution or around 160 CDs worth of music (in WMA format at 64kbps).
      
    * The system RAM has been doubled to 128MB, meaning that there's now around 95MB of free RAM after booting. This figure is slightly higher than you might have guessed because the N95 8GB also features 'demand paging', i.e. only the bits of applications that are strictly needed are loaded into RAM, other bits are left on disk until needed. Although demand paging is really only for Symbian OS 9.3 and above, the OS 9.2-running N95 8GB has had the feature back-ported specifically for the OS and S60 built-in applications. In fact, it may even be possible to include demand paging into a future firmware release for the original N95. Watch this space. In summary, you'll never run out of RAM with the N95 8GB, even on the largest web pages, while simultaneously viewing the largest image and keeping ten Java games running in the background.
      
    * The back of the N95 8GB has been redesigned, with an extra millimetre or so of depth allowing the use of the BL-6F, rated at 1200mAh. This would appear to give 25% extra battery life, but in fact extra optimisations in the OS (and possibly the use of demand paging) mean that  the real world increase is closer to 50%. Although this isn't exactly capacious, the use of the BL-6F does mean that very few people will exhaust the N95 8GB's battery in a day, even if they try quite hard.

Allegedly as a result of the redesign, the old physical shutter in front of the camera lens has been replaced by  a simple recess, with the camera now activated with a long press of the shutter button. It's not obvious to me why the deeper rear has forced this change, since the original N95 camera cluster was already proud of the main battery case, but then I wasn't privy to Nokia's design team and their hardware tradeoffs. It's a shame to see the shutter go, but the new arrangement is also satisfactory and isn't a problem.It's also worth noting that camera operation has been improved slightly, with 5 megapixel images now handled more swiftly (a second or so) and with a message telling the user what's happening at each stage. Camera launching is still slow though, I really struggle to understand why this is still pegged at a full 3 seconds.

The screen is better in every respect. It's larger, at 2.8" diagonal, it's clearer and brighter in all lighting conditions and it's better protected, with a hard top layer that's flush to the also-redesigned top slide, whose sides now encompass the N95's edge better (with the side effect that less light 'leaks out' sideways). The d-pad and main controls have been squished slightly to allow for the larger screen but they still work well.

# The multimedia controls (visible when the screen is slid down and the unit turned 90 degrees anti-clockwise) are now dimpled/contoured, making it easier to locate the right pressing point in the dark.

# The standby screen now has 7 quick-launch icon slots (versus 6), and there's a new standby shortcut/strip, a whole new version of Nokia's Mobile Search utility. v4 was supplied with the review unit, but it's quite slow (seven seconds to start up) and I'd expect a few tweaks to this in the coming months. v4 appears to be a whole new rewrite of the old utility and in addition to new content types (Music, Bookmarks, Images, Video, Landmarks), there's genuine quick matching of any text search string. Just start entering text and within a few seconds the matches are shown within each area and can be drilled down into. Great stuff and genuinely useful. No doubt Search v4 will appear for older devices on the Nokia Mobile Search site.

The 'multimedia' key, which used to be rather irrelevant and annoying is now slightly less irrelevant and less annoying. But I'm still struggling to work out why it's there. What was wrong with the traditional S60 standby screen and menu of icons and folders? There's now an additional carousel of 7 panes, Music, Videos, Gallery, Games, Contacts, Internet and Maps, each of which lists various options, documents and shortcuts, as appropriate. With the rise of the Nokia Music Store, Maps, MOSH and, of course, N-Gage, I'm really hoping that the reason for this rather unattractive and painful carousel arrangement will become obvious. With enough relevant Ovi content in place, then listing everything sorted by content rather than by opening applications will make more sense, but as I said in Smartphones Show 45, I remain a little sceptical and need to be convinced further.

There's an N-Gage Games icon on the main menu! Currently this has shortcuts to the placeholder URLs for the N-Gage home page and the N-Gage client download page, but these will become live in time. There are also two demo games, FIFA 07 and Asphalt 3, both of which play rather well (in portrait mode only) and bode well for the success of N-Gage in a few months time. I'm no game player though, Krisse will be along shortly with more on playing these titles.

Other software tweaks include the removal of the built-in video editor, a huge shame, especially considering that there's now enough RAM to allow editing full VGA videos. Maybe Nokia reckoned it was just too hard and troublesome for novices to use? Anyway, I was sad to see it go. Internet connections are now handled better and if you're already online with an access point, most applications don't pester you with the big question or, worse, complain that the access point 'is already in use'. Video centre is now promoted to position 7 on the opening icon menu, reflecting Nokia's confidence in the importance of video. And they seem to have fixed the problems playing back YouTube videos from the latter's mobile site, as I had no problems, even on the same Wi-Fi router as I'm still having problems using Video centre on the original N95. Finally, Share online is now in the firmware, which is good to see.

The verdict

So, quite a list of changes from 'original' to '8GB'. Most are very positive, but it's also worth noting a few of the negatives, which may, just may keep people using the original design. There's the lack of a physical lens shutter, which may be an issue if you're rough with your smartphone, there's the lack of a built-in video editor, the fixed flash memory, with no option to take out a card and stuff it into a printer (for example), and finally there's the black finish, which is slightly less tactile than the original N95 and the 8GB model slipped from my fingers more than once while testing it. Gulp.

But there's no doubting, on balance, that the N95 8GB is 'better' than its predecessor. The improvements in speed, battery life, free RAM and screen size all stand out as highlights. Build quality on this production unit was excellent in every regard and some of the mechanical oddities of some batches of the original are nowhere to be seen.

Is this the best smartphone ever made? Yes. You could even drop the 'smart' bit and call it the 'best phone ever made', since this will be sold in High Street shops and picked up, as the original was, by people from all walks of life, most of whom have never even heard the term 'smartphone'.

For the hardened AAS reader and power user though, note that the form factor limits of the original N95 are still in place, i.e. the QVGA screen, placing real usability limits on which web sites can comfortably be browsed around, and the numeric keypad - going back from the Nokia E90 or E61i to a keypad is a real wrench. Still, the latter problem can be solved for some use cases with a Bluetooth keyboard.

A big thumbs up overall though. Nokia has listened carefully to the feedback coming from early N95 users and has addressed just about every criticism and done it in style.  The original device enjoyed several major firmware updates and countless extensions via the Download! application and I'd expect this to see the same attention from Nokia.

Nokia 3555, Bad news and Good news

was recently given the opportunity to try out the Nokia 3555 by the fine folks over at WOM World. Since playing around with free electronics is fun, I took them up on the offer. I’m also incredibly concerned for the consumer, willing to put myself in great danger to provide you with unbiased cell phone reviews.
Yes, danger. You never know when a telemarketer could call.

The good news: The 3555 is compact and has excellent sound quality comparable to a land line (from my experience). It’s slim design makes it nearly unnoticeable in your back pocket. It sports a large directory that I would never fill, a music player, expandable memory and a bunch of other standard features. The 3555 is a great phone for the light user who makes occasional calls.

The bad news: Being a camera phone photo enthusiast, I’m obviously more concerned with the camera aspect of the phone. It is apparent why the camera gets less than a page of information in the user guide – it is an embarrassment to camera phones everywhere. No flash and low resolution makes this camera phone a paper weight. If you want to shoot memorable photos with your phone, look somewhere else.

Usability: The keypad is comfortable and easy to use, with my big hands making few keying errors. The selector buttons present a bit of confusion at first, but I got used to it after a short time. What really gets me, though, is the navigation.

The phone features are displayed on the screen as icons that are somewhat vague in appearance and more vague once you select one. Without going into much detail, let’s just say that getting around this phone is not intuitive at all. Even after a few weeks of use, I still found myself searching for menu items.

When I did shoot some photos, trying to figure out how to send them elicited moments of temporary insanity. The gallery is equally mysterious and aggravating, at least when I remembered how to get there.

One thing that had me excited, albeit briefly, was the glimmer of hope that this thing shot in 1200×1600. Yes, the user guide states on the bottom of page 44, “your device supports an image capture resolution up to 1200×1600 pixels.” I’ll concede that it might be some weak interpretation of digital zoom and image capture resolution, but I’m guessing that a tech writer didn’t get the memo.


The word: The 3555 is a great phone for making calls. If you’re a superior conceptual thinker, you might be able to find your way around the phone menus. The incredible sound quality makes this phone stand out for me, and the slim form factor is a refreshing departure from the usual brick-like design of most entry-level phones. The 3555 is a decent purchase for a casual user. If you’re looking to capture those precious moments, however, be sure to bring a camera.

LG Secret KF750 Specification and Review

The Chocolate was the first global hit product of LG, being successful first in Asia and then, conquering Europe and America. The new product line was marketed under the “Black Label” logo, which later became a symbol of the interesting and elegant vision of its models. The following year, Shine became the second generation of the series, also distributed on the three continents...

In the beginning of 2008, LG gave us a hint for the existence of the third entry under the same logo without giving out details. Kept hidden for a few months, it was announced with the name Secret. The newcomer is touted not only for its appearance but also for the nature of the materials used and the quality of the make. In contrast to its predecessors, it is not only expected to look good but to have decent functionality. The Secret is intended for the consumer who cares mostly about the looks and still wouldn’t like to own a device, characterized by the features found in most mid-level phones.


Design:
According to us, the Secret’s image is a strange combination of all sorts of materials, which LG claims is one of its key features. Striving to have as many exotic solutions in its advertising campaign as possible, the company has created a phone, which is made of incompatible materials such as brushed metal, pleather and carbon fiber. While the brushed metal looks good almost everywhere (remember Shine), that is not so for the other two solutions. It’s not just that we don’t like pleather, but even genuine one wouldn’t fit the overall design of the device. We have the same opinion about the use of carbon fiber (reinforced plastic), which otherwise looks interesting. This material is used where the combination of strength and lightweight is of the essence. If we were talking about building a 300,000 lb plane, the benefit of using that material would be much more obvious, but we don’t see what is there to gain if using it in the battery lid of a phone. Well, if the entire device (or at least most of it) was made out of carbon fiber, it would’ve definitely been an intriguing piece. Now it looks like a patch screaming, “Look what we’ve used”.

Since its design is a mix of unmatching materials, clearly, the phone is not as stylish as many other solutions by rivals, including LG’s own KF510. It’s a matter of taste of course and there may be many individuals or audiences, to which the phone will appeal, at the very least because it is different. Take a look at the many pictures we’ve added and decide for yourself.

We can’t act against our conscience by not applauding LG, for the fact that the glass covering the front panel is tempered. Same as in KF510, it will remain unscratched for a long time. Our test with a sharp knife showed that only an extremely big pressure on a very small surface (using the tip of the knife) leaves marks. However, we doubt that your phone will ever go through something like that. Unfortunately, although very strong, the carbon fiber lid will not stay in perfect condition for long.

We are disappointed by the display, because it is not good enough for a high-end phone. It could’ve been larger than 2.4” with an excellent image and not only a good one. However, outdoors you can hardly see anything on the screen. The only excuse LG has is that it is touch sensitive. Right, haven’t we mentioned that earlier? In contrast to the full touch models, the screen is pressed in certain cases only (more on that in the software part of the review) and basically, the phone is controlled via the buttons like a regular phone.

Well not exactly, since the navigational buttons are touch sensitive as well and you only have to touch them instead of press them. Because they are capacitive (like in Chocolate), they are activated by the touch of the skin and cannot be operated with other objects or when wearing gloves. Unfortunately, here same as in Chocolate, there is a delay between the moment you touch the key and it reacts. This is very annoying for us and makes operating the phone slower, giving us a sense of insecurity. The visualization of the directions (dots or circles according to what you select) and the animated circumferences when pressing any of them, do not fit the design, but is one of the things, which LG is proud of (“Neon Touch Navigation buttons”).

The central button, send, end and the “clear” keys are in a contrasting metal gray color and even though they do not clearly provide feedback when they have been pressed, they are much better than the capacitive ones. Luckily, the numeric keys are also physical and overall, operating them is trouble free. However, since they do not have a well-expressed relief, you are unable to feel where exactly a specific one is located.

he only remark we have for the side buttons  is that they are too many (4) on a relatively small surface, which means that they are at a small distance between each other. Since they all have a very well expressed relief and are easily pressed, you’ll operate them trouble free once you get familiar with their nature. Among the already standard camera and volume control buttons, there are shortcuts for multitasking and screen sensitivity activation (i.e. links to those applications).

Samsung Rugby SGH-A837 Specification and Review

I think everyone reading this has a cell phones list, and everyone is careful with them as they are a piece of technology that is expensive and yet fragile. Most of us are in contracts with our carriers, and if something happens to our phone before our contract is up, hopefully we’ve got insurance, but if not we’ve got to pay full price for a replacement phone, which is not something most of use want to do. There are few and far between phones that are rugged and made to withstand any amount of abuse, and really you have to wonder why as we as a people are not that careful with our things really, I’ve read countless stories of people destroying their cellphones just by dropping them, let alone water, dust or anything like that getting in them.

Samsung has come along and come out with a phone that is designed and made truly for not only the weekend warrior, but even a real warrior could appreciate. The Samsung SHG-A837 Rugby was announced last week, and it’s a military spec certified phone that truly is rugged and tough, it should be able to withstand most anything thrown at it, literally! So I’ve replaced my trusty AT&T Tilt with the Rugby for a week and I’ve found that it’s great basic phone, but lacks in some areas like pictures and videos, then again picture taking and videos are not the main feature of this phone, the military certification is….

Samsung A516 Specification and Review

Quick Specs
Quadband GSM 850/900/1800/1900
1.3 Mpix camera
176x220 Internal screen
96x96 external blue external screen
MicoSD memory slot (1 gig free on 3 year memory promo as of time of writing)
Video support recording / mms
External touch sensitive MP3 controls

Reception:
The Samsung A516 performed quite well in my trials
It handled the on road drive test* admirably and, truth be told, was one of the loudest phone's i've used in quite a while. At full tilt, 7/7 it was to loud for me so i usually kept it at 4/7.

*The drive by test is:
Yonge and 16th, east on 16th to woodbine. North on woodbine to 19th. West on 19th to Yonge. North on Yonge to Bloomington. East on bloomington to Bayview. South on bayview to Stouffville sideroad. East on Stoufville sideroad to Leslie and Leslie back to the Hill.

So in a nutshell, the A516 that i used worked very well, handled the network with ease and did it in one little loud package.

Sound Quality
Incoming
Like i mentioned earlier, the A516 is a loud phone. The earpiece itself is blistering and should satisy all of you out there who find other phones to be medium. It was so loud that I rarely ever used it on 7/7 and averaged 4/7 or 5/7 in the louder enviroments. The callers sounded natural and clean although some backbround hiss was present. More of a comfort noise I guess.

The A516 also didn't have any transmitter buzz that I could hear. Even in the weaker areas and the cantina it was still a solid performer

Outgoing
The Outgoing call quality was equally good. The form factor of the flip puts the mic really close to your mouth so it's sensitivity doens't have to be so high. As a result you get good conversations with minimal backgroung noise even in the louder enviroments.

For those of you looking for a phone primarily for it's incomining volume and outgoing characteristics the A516 is a definite strong player in this
So in a nutshell, the A516 that i used worked very well, handled the network with ease and did it in one little loud package.

speakerphone
Along with the ridiculously loud earpiece the A516 has an equally ridiculous speakerphone. It's so loud at full volume it easily filled my office with conversation. Although it's worth noting that at full volume you're gonna get some distortion on the unit.

Camera
The A516 features a 1.3 mpix camera without Flash.
As most phones these days, the Camera is there for MMS and quick shots of your mobile life. The camera will take a half decent pic in ideal conditions and is pretty straightforward in it's usage.

Video
The A516 will also handle Video.
standard offer here really, Takes short clips that you can MMS to your friends which are usually up to 30 seconds.

Connectivity
The A516 features bluetooth and USB connectivity options to keep you connected and mobile.

USB
Out of the box the A516 comes with a proprietary USB cable.
Simply install the driver and utilities on the CD and then connect your phone.
You'll be loading/unloading pics/MP3's in no time

SYNC
you can sync the A516 with your outlook but it's not the traditional SYNC like other Samsungs or other manufacter

Basically you have to load up the samsung program, import in your contacts FROM outlook and then PASTE those contacts into your phone. Needless to say it's not a full 2 way sync in the traditional sense of the term.

External Memory
The A516 at the time of writing this was on the 1 gig Memory promo for 3 years
as of Nov 1st it'll be on the 2 gig memory promo so you can't go wrong!

The memory card is located outside of the phone so removing the battery isn't necessary to get at the card.

Aesthetics
The A516 has that classic Samsung Look. Clean, flowing lines, and lacquer black. The front of the phone is glossy black with heat sensitive touch controlls for your MP3 players.

Screen: Internal
the screen is a 176x220 offering that is capable of 262k colours.
The screen is rich and colorfull although nowadays anything under QVGA seems to coarse in it's resolution.

Screen: External
The External LCD is a blue easy to read 96x96 display
It's nothing fancy, but it works.


Keys
The Keypad on the A516 is RAZR inspiried
however, i had no issue using the unit. It was reponsive and had great tactile feel.

OS
The OS on the samsung is pretty much standard issue. it's quick, does the job and looks good while doing it. It also allows numeric shortcuts a-la classic nokia for those of you who like to memorize key items you do on the phone a lot.

Battery
Out of the Box the A516 provided me with enough Juice to easily last me a full day of hofo wap / sms and voice calls. EVen on the loudest settings for the earpiece i scored a full day with no complaints.

SMS
The SMS system on the A516 is Standard issue T9
easy to use, takes custom words and is really quick.

PRO's
*Excellent battery life
*Nice clean styling
*Easy to read external LCD
*Wickedly Loud earpiece
*Insanely loud speakerphone

CON's
*No full SYNC with outlook
*background hiss @ all times
*No flash for camera
*Different port for charger (not same as D807 or prior Samsungs)

Samsung A736 Specification and Review

Quick specs
The Samsung A736 brings to the table:
Quadband GSM 850/900/1800/1900
Dualband HSPA 850/1900
172x220 TFT screen
MicroSD memory slot
2.0GIG MicroSD card included at time of writing this
Video record/send via MMS

Reception:
The A736 was very good in my usage. Being a Rogers branded phone the ability to manually select 3G or GSM was not present to I was only able to reliably test it's 3G performance within the GTA. Your mileage may very in non 3G areas, but based on the 3G aspect it's safe to assume it's GSM handling will be just as capable.

The A736 handled all my daily needs easily. It provided excellent network quality and reception in my travels across the GTA. The A736 handled my drive test* easily and really provided no challenge for this model.

*The drive by test is:
Yonge and 16th, east on 16th to woodbine. North on woodbine to 19th. West on 19th to Yonge. North on Yonge to Bloomington. East on bloomington to Bayview. South on bayview to Stouffville sideroad. East on Stoufville sideroad to Leslie and Leslie back to the Hill

Sound Quality
incoming
THe A736 has good sound quality. It was sufficiently loud for my needs. I never left it on 7/7 often leaving at 4/7 and putting up as i needed. I found the A736 to be a bit on the bass heavy side. There was no heavy hissing tough which was very nice.

to sum it up, the A736 sounded good for my needs and was more then loud enough when I needed it to be.

outgoing
The outgoing quality was fairly decent. Some said it was a bit muddy at times but other then that there were no real complaints. In the louder enviroments it faired decently but you could tell you weren't in the library.

Speakerphone
The A736 is equipped with a speakerphone like many phones these days. It wasn't all that great, like many phones these days. you could use it in a quiet room and it dod the job but like most, you proably don't wanna be using this in a car or louder enviroment.

Camera/Vision
The A736 has a 1.3mpix camera that shoots vids as well.
standard equipment in this day and age i'd say. The camera itself takes a decent shot outside and in sunlight

Vision
AS of May 1st 2008 the 100.00 vision credit will be applied instantly on new activations. No more waiting for a bill credit on bill 2 or 3

TheA736 is a very capable Vision phone. Although the screen is small by today's standards being 176x220 instead of a QVGA 240x320 the smaller screen results in smaller phone. You can easily pocket the A736 as it's one of the smallest 3G / Vision phones that is currently on the Rogers Vision line up.

I was able to run 2.75 straight hours of mobiTV on the A736. I came to work full charged the A736, set it to MuchMusic and kept waking it up the odd 10 minutes when it asked if i was still there. For 3G phone, of continous transmitter use i was very impressed with the 2.75 hours of TV the A706 was able to put out.

It's worth noting that the back plate of the A736 was warm when running TV which is normal and completely withing it's operational spec.

It's also worth mentioning here that the A736 is $49.99 on a 3 year term with 3 year Vision term as well. It's the lowest priced visoin handset on the Rogers market to date. however, lot cost doesn't mean it's not playing with the bigger boys. It may not have the 5.0Mpix camera of the K850, or the QVGA TFT screens of the V9 but it doesn't have their bulk or battery drain either.


Video calling
The Video calling experience is pretty much the same as others. Looks like a webcam and is up to the individual user as to how important that is for you. Many people think the feature is a gimmick, but I have a few clients that use it religiously. Mainly fathers with their significant others and the new babies to see them but that's not the only limitation.

Connectivity
Sync
The A736 comes packaged with Samsung's PCSuite and all the drivers you'd need to get it off the ground. You can sync up the A736 with Outlook and get all your contacts over. Although ths sync is one of the most simplistic and not that complicated. If you're a user who needs full sync on a phone this may not be the phone for you. If on the otherhand you're running sim card contacts then no worries there.

With the Samsung PCsuite you can get media on or off the included 2 gig Memory card ahtough it feels like USB 1.1 speed. The cable is also proprietary samsung and not mini or Micro USB.

Bluetooth
The bluetooth on the A736 is competent and gave me no issues. Is supports all the major profiles and also has A2DP stereo fo headsets.

It worked fine with my bluetrek ST1's and broadcasting music to my car radio. It was equally adetp at handling calls from the same ST1 headset or Car headunit.

External Memory
At the time of writing this the A736 comes packaged with 2.0 gig MicroSD card which is a nice touch. No memorypromo redemptions to wait for or extra media to purchase. Right out of the box you get a healty amount of memory suitable for most except the true media hawks out there

Aesthetics
The A736 is a very well built, solid, slider. The sliding mechanism provides feedback up and down and the whole package feels well built. I didn't find excessive creaks and moans as time progressed and the slider didn't get worse. Granded I had it 2 weeks, but being my main phone in that time I make sure to seriously run it thgough it's paces.

Keypad
The keypad, while decent, is cramped @ times. Those of you with sausage fingers may find you're hitting 2 buttons at the same time or that your hitting a 5 when you wanted 2. Overall, most hofo'ist will just adjust as usual and find the keypad to be fine for most.

Dpad
The Dpad and keys surrounding it are very nice. Clustered in a 4 way Dpad, with centre key and 6 more side buttons is great. And it's in a nice small area.

OS
The OS on the A736 is tried and true samsung. Graphical front menu is what first greets you, followed by a listing with popup to show you what's further in that menu. You can disable that popup as well if that's not your taste

The OS on the A736 is fairly fast as well, the only slowdown i found was when my SMS started filling up. When i'd pass messaging the popup menu would lag as it loaded up all my messages. Again, not a deal breaker for me since the popup menu can be disabled, or delete your inbox regularly.

Battery
The Battery life on the A736 pleasantly surprised me. One night I had forgotten the charger @ the shop so I had effectively used the A736 all day, all that evening and well into the next day before it started complaining about battery low. I was able to get about 1.75 days out of a single charge. 10 am till about 7pm the next day. While i don't generally recommend this, I charge every night, it's good to know that the A736 can last longer then a day which seems to be standard faire in the 3G / HSPA world.

PRO's
*Small light package
*Low vision priced handset
*Fantastic battery life in a 3G / Vision model
*Excellent build quality
*Excellent slide feel open and close
*Nicely clustered Dpad and 6 side keys on top slider
*Excellent battery life for 3G
*2 gig's in box

CON's
*176x220 screen
*Proprietary USB cable
*basic sync
*slightly cramped keypad

Samsung Propel SGH-A767 Specifications and Review

Samsung This may be awaited by fans Samsung cell phones, let us see review : The Samsung Propel looks somewhat like a Samsung BlackJack remade as a slider. In fact, the phone is more like the Samsung Sangria, a European phone running Windows Mobile. Instead of the business OS and enhanced, high-end features, the Samsung Propel is a simpler messaging phone. It runs the same basic AT&T multimedia OS as every other low-end AT&T 3G phone, like the Samsung SGH-A737. The phone uses a simple icon-based menu, with icons for AT&T Music, AT&T GPS and YellowPages.com. The screen itself looked fine displaying wallpapers and pictures, but the menu text and icons came out looking blocky or dated.

As a full-QWERTY slider, the phone was short and squat while closed, but still felt comfortable in the hand. In fact, we could see using the device closed often, except that the interface is unfriendly to opening and closing the phone. If you close the phone, apps like AT&T Navigator will quit. You can unlock the navigation keys and open these apps while the phone is already shut, but if you open and close the phone again, the app will quit.

We also wish there were more dedicated keys. We appreciate the messaging key right up top, and the camera and vibrate keys at the bottom of the keyboard, but no camera key? Even the application switcher key doesn't switch to the camera, you have to drill the menus to start it up. The phone uses Samsung's proprietary connector port for USB and headphones, and we would have liked to see Samsung go with microUSB, as they did on the Samsung Rant and Samsung Highnote on Sprint.

Calling - Good

The Samsung Propel sounded fairly good in our calling tests. Our callers didn't hear any significant noise or static, and things were mostly clear on our end. The phone did sound like it was slowly fading into some of the voices coming through, especially during the long pauses on some answering machines we tried, but overall the quality was good. Reception was also impressive on this phone, as it received a solid 4-5 bars of service while other phones on AT&T's HSDPA network in our New York office tended to lag behind. Battery life could have been better. We got just under 5 hours of talk time in a single call, which is close to AT&T's 5 hour claim. Blame the HSDPA network, but for a phone this size, we'd love to see a super-long life battery.

The phone has a fairly basic address book. It looks simple, but packs enough fields for casual messaging, including e-mail and IM fields, as well as a few phone number slots. We'd like to see some kind of synchronization for contacts, but the Samsung Propel has none. The phone also lacks voice dialing, which is a feature we depend on if we're forced to make calls from the road. Conference calling was fairly easy on the phone, and we also found the speakerphone to be adequately loud, though not abusively so, as we prefer.

Messaging - Good

Here's where the Samsung Propel should really shine, but instead the phone is saddled with the same tired AT&T multimedia interface, including all of the same old messaging apps you'll find on simpler phones that lack a QWERTY keyboard. Here is a missed opportunity to attract some of the Sidekick market before they head towards smartphones. We would like to see a range of e-mail services supported, including corporate e-mail, as we find on the LG Lotus on Sprint. On this phone, we don't even get Gmail, because it doesn't make the preset list. We'd also like to see more IM clients besides AOL, MSN and Yahoo; and the ability to stay signed on to multiple IM services is a must, but on this phone it's a miss. Text messaging through SMS worked well, however, and we were pleased to find some robust recipient options, including the ability to send to groups and dig through our contacts list.

The keyboard was about average, but was much better in the center keys than it was on the outskirts. The top row and the sides felt crammed up against the edges, especially the hard ridges that ring the sides of the phone. This same ridge actually helped typing on the bottom row, which is mainly devoted to dedicated application keys like the camera and Cellular Video service. The keys were also quite flat, and typing was much less comfortable overall than it was on, say, the Samsung Epix business phone that we recently reviewed.

Multimedia - Good

For multimedia, the Samsung Propel gets the basic AT&T 3G complement, which includes AT&T music apps like the XM radio service and MusicID, as well as streaming videos from Cingular Video. XM radio wasn't bad, but lacked the wealth of channels of the real service. The simple music player on the phone was also competent, and though it lacked interesting playback options or easy playlist creation, it did manage to read our Windows Media-synchronized tracks, including our album artwork in a tiny thumbnail on screen. The video player on the phone hardly worked at all, and couldn't play our MP4 videos or anything beyond a simpler 3GP file. Cellular Video was sluggish to start, and the picture was blocky throughout. Besides the poor video quality, however, the CV service, made up of short, streaming clips, can't possibly compete with AT&T's much better Mobile TV service.

Web browsing - Good

Surprisingly, the Samsung Propel was able to load our homepage without any trouble. The Access Netfront Web browser chewed through all our images, and though our masthead came through looked choppy and pixilated, at least the phone didn't run out of memory loading our page. We expected the Web browser to be faster over the 3G network, but it wasn't too bad. The entire Web experience is decidedly mobile, without any hint of being desktop-grade. Still, it should work in a pinch, especially for mobile sites, which loaded fairly quickly on this phone.

Camera - Mediocre

Images from the Samsung Propel's 1.3-megapixel camera were obviously small, but also somewhat blurry, especially under challenging lighting situations. Under the best circumstances, the pictures looked accurate and okay, but as light dimmed, things became unrecognizable. At this resolution, though, clearly the camera is a tacked-on feature.

# Self portrait

Well, at least it only gets better from here. The picture, taken after multiple attempts at a clear shot, was still blurry. Almost none of the book titles behind us are visible. Lining up the shot was even difficult, as the self portrait mirror was so tiny that it didn't help our aim.

# Street musicians


Can you tell that there's a man sitting behind some drums in this shot? It wasn't this dark in person, but clearly the camera can't handle the difference between the bright sun above and the shade below.

# Starbucks corner


This one is a little better, thanks to all the bright light shining down. Still, everything is blurry even at the small 100% crop, and there are parts of the building that are completely blown out. The fine lines of the structure are also noisy and feathered.

# Sunshine


We just liked this shot for the severe lens flare, even with the blown pixels. Seriously, it looked cool to us.

# Panorama


The Samsung Propel has the worst panorama stitching we've ever seen. It seems to want to take the pictures itself as you move the camera, but there are no onscreen guides and the timing of the shots seems to be way off. Plus, even when it gets the shot, things look distorted.

GPS navigation - Good

For location-based services, AT&T has included AT&T Navigator, which is based on TeleNav's software, and also Where, which is a widget-based point-of-interest app we've seen before. TeleNav is for turn-by-turn directions, Where is for finding the closest Starbuck (or the world's largest ball of twine, seriously). AT&T Navigator had some trouble finding us, even on the highways in suburban New Jersey, out in the open. It felt as though the program was frequently caught loading something, though the delay was never terminally long. Where was a fun app to play with, but we wish it integrated better with AT&T Navigator to provide turn-by-turn directions, in addition to a simple map.

BlackBerry Curve 8900

In late 2008 RIM released the BlackBerry Bold, its first GSM 3G model. Because T-Mobile, at the time, did not have a large 3G network, this device hit only AT&T in the U.S. As a follow-up for its non-3G GSM customers, RIM released the Curve 8900 in early 2009. It featured an even better display than the bold, 480×360, the same display that the Tour and Bold 9700 would later feature. The Curve 8900 has a 3.2 megapixel camera, the same as the Bold. It also contains GPS and WiFi, the first Curve model to have both.
