Today, Samsung is announcing the FlipShot aka SCH-u900 for Verizon. The FlipShot is a weird looking phone that rotates and pivots, but its feature set is pretty darn cool. It has a business card scanner! The FlipShot supports multiple Bluetooth profiles including mono headset, stereo headset, serial port, dial-up, phonebook access, and you can transfer those handy vCards. A 3-megapixel digital camera goes up to 11-steps digital zoom and you can take 30 second clips for MMS or 10 minute clips. There’s also living wallpapers, PictBridge, a microSD slot and a directional microphone. Battery life is expected to be four hours of talk or six hours with the extended battery. The FlipShot even has a TV out so you can share your pics and videos. There will be a red and black version of the FlipShot. Best Buy will have the red version starting November 26th, but you’ll have to wait until January for the black version to show up at Verizon. The FlipShot will be $199.99 with a two-year contract

NOKIA N81

2007-11-17T11:43:00.000-08:00

It’s glossy, full of memory and is part of Nokia’s push to retake the cellphone market, but could the N81 fall before it’s hardly onto the track? Om Malik certainly seems to think so, using up some serious bile on the slick handset with, among many other things, keypad layout, the general speed of the phone and the number of times it crashed on him all coming in for major critique.

“The device behaved like a 3-year-old throwing a tantrum. Unless this is an especially buggy device, N81 has to be one of the worst Nokia phones I have ever used and would be loathe to recommend it to anyone. It is underpowered and the Symbian S60 OS behaves like Windows ME. Remember that piece of junk? Well this is worse. It takes more than 10 seconds to open a text message. Switching between applications is akin to me running - out of breath. One has to constantly reboot the phone to even make phone calls” Om Malik

It’s starting to heat up in the comments, though, with some voices chanting their agreement with Om and saving particular venom for a scroll-wheel that the OS can’t keep up with, while others suggest sticking with it and are surprised that his N81 showed issues theirs never have.

Looks like we’ll have to wait for further reviews before anything is conclusive on this one.

Samsung Juke Cell Phone

2007-11-20T11:31:00.000-08:00

The Samsung Juke is advertised as an MP3 player that also happens to be a phone. This is a good description of the Juke, which doesn’t offer much more than above-average music software. If you’re looking for an all-around media phone or a business device, the Juke simply isn’t for you. If you want a small, quirky, cute phone that offers decent music support, however, then the Juke should be one to consider. We can’t stress the Juke’s size enough; the sheer narrowness of the phone coupled with its relatively unusual thickness isn’t something the commercials communicate. The screen is about 1.45-inches diagonal, which is downright tiny. The Juke costs $100 after a $50 online rebate and with a two-year contract from Verizon.

The Juke’s swing-open design actually helped it out in our timing tests, as it gives you access to the keypad faster than the traditional flip-open design. The simple OS doesn’t lag at all, meaning calling is quick and easy. Simple is also a detriment, however, as managing calls is unintuitive. There are no reminders for who you are connected to during call waiting, and the phone can’t perform conference calls. The small screen also hinders features like the contacts manager. Only a few contacts are displayed at a time, and the search feature is very limited. The same bare-bones treatment is given to the rest of the organizational software, as well. If you want to use the calendar feature with any degree of complexity, the Juke won’t be able to meet your needs.

The Juke has passable audio quality. We noticed it handles the user’s voice better than a caller’s, which is the opposite of the norm. Your own voice sounds fine, but incoming callers sound tinny, while higher frequencies sound muted. Also, the phone’s side tone (the amount of sound the phone plays back, which allows users to determine how loud they sound) is a bit off; you might feel as though you’re talking a bit louder than you actually are, although not by much.

The Juke is not an imaging powerhouse. In fact, its camera is pretty bad. The pictures don’t yield a high resolution, although color is decent. Many imaging issues are related to the hardware. The screen is simply too small to allow for an accurate viewfinder. When holding the phone, be sure to use the camera button to take pictures; if you use the select button it’ll put your fingers square over the lens. Also, it’s important to note that the only two ways to get pictures off the device are by uploading them to Verizon’s PIX Place, or by sending them in an MMS. Given how USB-oriented the Juke is (it’s the only way to put songs on it), we were surprised you can’t easily put pictures onto your computer. The Juke can’t capture or play back video. The Juke can, of course, play back music. The music player is definitely above average, though nothing astounding. It has some interesting extras, such as the ability to choose from multiple visualizations, including album art support, and an equalizer. We don’t like how we had to close the phone to initialize the music player, however. Since the Juke supports background playback, we think you should be able to begin playback while the phone is open.

The Juke is not keen on messaging or other software. You can’t send e-mails. Text messages are separated into plain text and multimedia message, though the two do share an inbox. There is also no Web browser or VCast support, meaning you’ll have to totally rely on the packaged USB cord to transfer music onto the device.

The Juke could have been saved from phone mediocrity if only it had better battery life. It only lasted for 3 hours and 30 minutes during our calling time test. For music playback, the battery died after 6 hours and 45 minutes, which is far worse than other music-oriented handsets. Battery life is very important for media phones, because their intended use has them burning battery constantly. With only 3 hours and 30 minutes of talk time, if you plan on listening to music for any stretch in between calls, you phone will most likely need to be charged several times a day. This, of course, cuts down on the portability of the phone, which is why you’re buying a mobile device to begin with.

All in all, the Juke is a relatively cheap entry-level phone. As it is entry-level, we need to compare it to other basic phones. What does the Juke offer that a free phone wouldn’t? The answer is, unfortunately, “not much.” The Juke has software that is comparable to other free phones. While it offers 2 GB of internal memory, it lacks the MicroSD card slot typically found on other phones, which can handle an extra 4 GB of memory. The Juke has better-than-average music software and a unique look. Is the extra memory, music software, and aesthetic appeal worth the $100? That really depends on the user, as it’s a very subjective call. If you’re not interested in the Juke specifically, you could get the Palm Centro, an easy-to-learn smart phone for about the same price. If you do want the Juke, however, we’d recommend waiting a few months to see if it becomes free with contract.

Sony Ericsson W810 [Mobile phone]

2007-11-07T12:05:00.001-08:00

Design

Heavily influenced by classic SonyEricsson design in areas of shape, colour and design, weighing in at 99 g and measuring 46 x 100 x 19 mm, the W810 is petite and relatively lightweight. The black and white display is ideal for text, messages and simple pictures like logos and picture massages.The display resolution 176 x 220 pixel ideal for small and smart phone.

The left side of the unit holds a spacious volume rocker, while on the other side we find a dedicated camera button.There is nice LEDs which notify users of new messages, active network and missed calls. This is not common for all SonyEricsson handsets and is not necessary to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting.

Ergonomics

The W810 is not comfortable for hold in ones hand because it is too wide.While the big display a numerical keypad placed on a small space offers appropriately-spaced keys and are not pleasantly comfortable in use.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent SonyEricsson handsets.The plastic keypad has good placed keys, giving it a cheap feel while oddly designed buttons, with the comfortable center keys, make the phone easer to dial.Its keypad is as pleasing in use as its chassis is on the eyes: tactile feedback is excellent and all buttons are placed in a logical manner - quite a feat, considering W810's knack for quirky keypads.And last,but not least, a five-way joystick centered below the display.

Features

In the WAN department, the W810 boasts healthy support for Quad-band 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, as well as GPRS, SMS, and a range of applications such as Java MIDP 1.0, 40-channels polyphony, a voice recorder, all of which laptop and handheld users will be pleased to learn is a breeze to utilize either by means of infrared old wireless device,GPRS support is the fastest way to download files with your mobile, and spacious phone book.

As previously mentioned, the W810 is also equipped with a 1.3 megapixel camera support for picture-taking , as well as an integrated MP3 player.The latter of which is also the reason for why the 20 MB of internal memory, which initially appears spacious, is quickly stretched to its limits.

Unfortunately, neither Memory Stick Duo format or any other method of memory expansion is supported by the W810, meaning users find themselves drawn by the MP3 playback capabilities will also quickly - and repeatedly - drawn to their PC and USB cable for updating ones playlist.

Performance

Audio quality on the W810 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 700 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 8 hours talk time or 350 hours standby, which is very good for battery's theoretical capacity.Charge time is about 105 minutes.

Availability

The SonyEricsson W810 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.

Conclusion

SonyEricsson W810 is a beautiful phone to hold and use, and it's quickly won our hearts. The typical SonyEricsson design flair is present in abundance, with all the requisite consumer features to back it up.But love doesn't notice such little flaws.

[Nokia N75] Review

2007-11-10T10:50:00.000-08:00

Introduction

The Nokia N75's matte graphite exterior, a departure from the flashy metallic finishes that are currently common, suggests that the phone holds new and unique features inside as well.

But that proves to be only partly true, although it is quite solid in design, connectivity, and multimedia features such as an integrated 2.0-megapixel camera and 3D speakers.

The N75 is also very solid in the hand, weighing in at 4.23 ounces and sized at a somewhat clunky at 2.05 inches wide, 3.74 inches long and 0.80 inches thick. Sharp photos and elegant exterior design are strong points of the phone, on which the lens and shutter button are placed to resemble a traditional camera. Three simple music player and multi-function buttons on the front of the phone enhance its multimedia uses.

The Nokia N75 also has the potential to be a world traveler. As a quad-band world phone, it can be used on all four frequencies of GSM commonly used internationally.

Design

The distinctive exterior of the N75 deserves the most points for design, with a keypad layout that is also intuitive and useful. The weight is not much more than some clamshells currently on the market but going against the trend of ultra-thin phones, its size is not as easy to slip into a pocket as many others. It is also quite long when opened, with a considerable distance between the earpiece and the bottom of the phone.

There are benefits to having large size however, and one is the beautiful, expansive 2.4-inch QVGA internal display. The 240 x 320 px display offers 16.7 million colors including an ambient light detector, which optimizes the brightness of the display and controls power consumption. Meanwhile the external screen provides convenient access to functions without having to open the phone at a crisp 128 x 160 px.

Optimizing for design, the N75 sports an internal antenna. A small, black Power Key is positioned at the top of the phone, while the top left hand side has a large tab that covers the USB Port. The USB Port provides connectivity with a PC or a compatible media player. Nokia PC Suite software can be used to print images or transfer data. The Charger plugs into a port below the USB Port.

Below on the left side is a smaller tab that covers the microSD card slot, allowing users to expand storage space with extra memory cards. This cover is less flimsy than some, but it still seems delicate enough to break at some point.

A bi-directional Volume Key on the upper right side also doubles as the Zoom Key during Camera Mode. Directly below, an Infrared Port lets consumers transfer data wirelessly to other devices. Above the multi-function Mode Key gives users added convenience by switching between different applications. The bottom right is the Camera Key, which activates the camera and camcorder and snaps photos with the phone open or closed.

While the keypad is overall very simple and well designed, some users might have difficulty with the Menu key and Music Key. These two buttons are positioned between the Call, End and Right and Left Selection Keys. One misplaced touch to the Menu or Music Key brings up those applications, and can interrupt texting or dialing.

Key multimedia features on the N75's exterior are the two 3D speakers located discretely at the top corners, and the three simple Music Player buttons on the face, below the display.

Back and Forward arrows straddle a Play / Pause Key, and all three Multi-Function Keys control other applications in addition to music. A blue light pops up behind the keys with the touch of a finger, an attractive color that ties in well with the black exterior.

Out of the box, the Nokia N75 comes with an 800 mAh Li-Ion Battery, Charger, Data Cable, Quick Start Guide, and User Manual.

Camera

The 2.0-megapixel camera and camcorder included on the N75 puts it at the high end of current camera phone technology, and provides print quality photos. An easy to use menu allows phone users to send photos, add them to a print basket, create a slideshow or delete them.

The camera is capable of taking extremely sharp 1600 x 1200 px photos, and generally produces a good color balance. A flash is located above the camera lens on the back of the phone.

The camera design on the back face of the phone integrates intuitively with the camera phone's function: with the phone closed, it is possible to snap photos using the camera button on the top right hand side of the phone. The N75 also balances well on its side for timed shots, a nice feature not included in some other clamshells. Music control buttons on the front face of the phone allow some camera functions to be used with the phone closed, although others require keys inside the phone.

With 40 MB of internal memory that can be extended with a microSD card of up to 2 GB, the N75 can record up to 500 minutes of video or about 2,500 2.0-megapixel photos. Memory cards are sold separately.

In addition to basic features such as flash settings and a self-timer, the camera can also be used to take photos in a sequence. Five scene modes are available-auto, user defined, portrait, landscape, night and night portrait-and tips for each mode's suggested use pop up to the right side when a mode is selected.

Outdoor photos were mostly true to color on the N75's camera and indoor shots were very clear, although with a slight greenish tint. White balance can be adjusted to automatic, sunny, incandescent or fluorescent, and color tones can be set at normal, sepia, black and white and negative.

Another phone in Nokia's Nseries - the N95 - has raised some users' expectations with its 5.0-megapixel camera, but the N75's photo and video quality are on par with other 2.0-megapixel camera phones on the market.

Basic Features

Powered by an 800 mAh Li-Ion battery, the N75 provides up to four hours of talk time and up to eight days of standby time. Nine phone numbers can be programmed into speed dial.

AT&T's menu is presented simply and colorfully on the N75, in an easy to navigate layout. Standard tools accessed through the menu include Notes, a Clock, Calendar that records appointments, Calculator and Currency Converter.

Two style "themes" come with the N75, however neither is very attractive. There is the orange and black Cingular theme, and the hazy purple, fuchsia and black Nokia Nseries theme. The Nokia background is a slight improvement and coordinates with the N75's graphite exterior, but fortunately themes can also be downloaded.

Screen

Beautiful interior and exterior screens are a high point of the N75. It features a large 2.4-inch QVGA internal LCD, capable of displaying a vivid 16.7 million colors at a crisp 240 x 320 px resolution. The external screen, while smaller, displays backgrounds and commonly viewed information on a 262K-color 128 x 160 px LCD. The AT&T menu is beautifully organized in a format similar to BlackBerry menus with choices arranged in a colorful grid.

Manufactured from TFT (Thin Film Transistor) technology, both screens offer more vibrant colors and faster response rates compared to other LCD technologies such as OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) and STN (Super-Twisted Nematic) screens. However the drawback is increased power usage which drains battery life quicker. Fortunately, the N75's displays features an ambient light detector to optimize the brightness of the display and regulate power consumption.

The N75's screens are state-of-the-art and wonderfully brilliant. Currently LCDs offer up to 16.7 million colors, with the bulk of cell phones featuring 262K-colors, and entry-level devices using 65K-color displays. Considered high-end, the N75 is an ideal device for viewing multimedia such as streaming videos or photos from the album.

Audio

Music and other media are easy to access with the three multi-function keys on the face of the N75, while the two 3D speakers at the top of the phone provide an excellent listening experience. When the optional 2 GB microSD card is in use, the N75 can store up to 1,500 individual tracks.

An integrated FM radio allows consumers on the road to tunes to stations automatically with up to 20 presets. Access to MobiRadio, Billboard, and other features are also available through the "Tools" section of the N75's menu.

Offering a built-in MP3 player with equalizer, play list, shuffle and repeat features, the N75 allows users to either download their own libraries or buy music from AT&T Yahoo! Music Jukebox. The included Nokia PC suite transfers music from a PC in MP3, MIDI, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+ and WMA formats through the supplied USB cable. The player stores up to 1,500 songs with the 2 GB memory card.

Through a partnership with eMusic, AT&T customers can download songs wirelessly to their phones; similar to other music store services from other carriers. However unlike many services, eMusic also allows each song purchased and downloaded to the phone to be automatically available for users to download to their PC for no additional cost. eMusic offers more than 2 million songs for download, free of DRM (Digital Rights Management) protection which limits usage of digital media. While its catalog includes some mainstream artists, most of its music comes from independent labels.

AT&T has followed competitors in charging a premium for the songs. While there is no per-song pricing option, customers should expect to pay $7.49 per month for five songs, with the option of adding five more songs for the same price. That works out to $1.50 per song. Sprint launched its over-the-air music download service in 2005, charging $2.50 per song but has since cut that price to 99 cents. Verizon Wireless charges $1.99 per song for wireless downloads.

The N75 features voice-activated dialing and voice commands, which can be activated even when the phone is closed by pressing the play/pause button on the front face.

By selecting 3D tones, N75 users can also choose from six different Sound Trajectory Options: Circular, Fly-By, Zigzag, Meander, Random and Off. They can also select the Sound Trajectory Speed. Nineteen 3D ringtones are included with the phone. They range from electronic music clips to simple beeps, and showcase the high sound quality. Even a song with vocals is reproduced clearly. None of the ringtones provided with the phone were very appealing, but many users will probably want to personalize the phone with downloaded audio from another device or AT&T.

Messaging

Video and picture messaging are standard features on the Nokia N75. Its large numeric keypad makes text messaging simple, however the smooth surface and minimal separation in between could make it difficult for users who text by touch.

Users can stay in touch with real-time chat available through clients such as AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, and Windows Live. One right click from the directional keypad connects users to features, buddies and saved conversations.

Pressing Up brings up a blank text message. The selection key in the upper left corner pulls up the Messaging Menu that allows consumers to create a text message, multimedia message, email or postcard. POP3 and IMAP4 email protocols are supported with today's most popular services including Hotmail, Yahoo!, and AOL.

Entertainment

Together, the 2.0-megapixel camera, 3D speakers and high-resolution screens make N75 a strong multimedia device. The external music and multi-function controls keep the N75 competitive with many similarly designed phones currently available, while the speakers and colorful internal display showcase music and videos that can be streamed on the N75 with RealAudio and RealVideo.

Nokia N75 users can access AT&T's Cellular Video (CV) and AT&T Mobile Music. With the N75's enhanced music player that supports Windows Media Digital Rights Management (WMDRM), they can play music purchased at Napster and Yahoo! Music. CV features 10 basic-programming providers from CNN, NBC Mobile, The Weather Channel, Fox News, ESPN, Comedy Central and exclusive premium content from HBO and more.

Content is then divided into sections: TV to Go, News and Weather, Sports, and Entertainment. TV to Go section offers video clips from popular shows such as The Tonight Show and Desperate Housewives. Get current events and weather updates through NBC, CNN, Fox, and The Weather Channel in the News and Weather section. Sports highlights are offered in the Sports section including ESPN, Fox Sports, The Speed Channel, and Fuel TV. Access Hollywood, TV Guide Channel, and Adult Swim are in the Entertainment section.

HBO Mobile, HBO Family Mobile, and Music Choice are available in the premium section. Through AT&T's partnership with HBO, customers can view short previews and video clips of popular HBO shows such as Entourage and The Sopranos.

Music Tone ringtones, J2ME games (Tetris, 3D Pool Hall and Lumines Puzzle Fusion preinstalled) and graphics round out the offerings, downloadable to the N75.

Internet

Internet can be accessed on the N75 by pressing the menu button on the upper left side of the keypad, and selecting MEdia Net.

Unfortunately the N75 doesn't support AT&T's newest HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) high-bandwidth service, capable of supporting theoretically download speeds of up 3.6 Mbps. But it does offer AT&T's UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) network at just a step down, offers data rates up to 384 kbps. While ideal, realistically users should expect speeds around 220 to 320 kbps. Necessary for high-bandwidth multimedia features, AT&T's UMTS network serves as the backbone for AT&T Music and Cellular Video.

Storage

Nokia N75 BackThe N75's internal memory of up to 40 MB can be extended with a microSD card (capable of accepting cards up to 2 GB in size, sold separately). A small tab on the side can be pulled out to access the microSD slot. With the maximum expandable memory in place, the N75 can store up to 1,500 individual audio tracks.

Connectivity

The N75 boasts Nokia PC Suite connectivity with USB, infrared and Bluetooth 2.0 wireless technology.

Bluetooth profiles supported include Dial-Up Networking (DUN) to use as a modem when connected to a laptop, Handsfree Profile (HFP) with handsfree car kits, Headset Profile (HSP) to pair wireless headsets, File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to provide access to file systems on other devices, Object Push Profile (OPP) to send pictures, virtual business cards, or appointment details, and Serial Port Profile (SPP) to emulate a serial cable. Most users will be interested in HSP and HFP. Unfortunately the N75 doesn't offer A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) for wireless stereo streaming during music playback.

Conclusion

Nokia's N75 is a decently attractive phone, although its stylishness will suffer in the eyes of some users because of its slightly clunky size. The matte graphite finish of the exterior is different, but pleasantly unique. Blue-lit buttons are a modern, well-coordinated touch, and the controls outside and inside the phone are intuitive and easy to use.

The multimedia technology and connectivity, however, offer something for almost everyone and the phone is very solid in this area. The size might be justified by the myriad features packed into this still relatively small package.

AT&T's menu is easy to navigate on the N75 and media are reproduced beautifully, thanks to the high resolution, 16.7 million color screen.

For jet setters, the quad-band world phone is also built to work on all four frequencies of GSM commonly used internationally.

The N75's impressive connectivity offers many more ways to stay in touch, with Bluetooth, USB cable and infrared available to transfer data to a PC and other devices. Users will want to transfer data between their computers and a multimedia phone such as the N75, and Nokia has clearly worked to make this as smooth a process as possible.

Nokia's N75 is overall a very solid phone that includes some of the best cell phone technology currently on the market in a uniquely designed package.
