In the past years, HTC was the single manufacturer which was capable of offering great smart phones, with a lot of technologies and a powerful operating system.  Because it had no rivals on the market, Samsung Company has decided to launch a new model of smart phone, which promises to be a great opponent to the HTC models. The Moment Samsung smart phone has proven to be one of the best cell phones which Samsung ever made. With a lot of high-end technologies and an excellent design, it is driving customers crazy with joy.

This Samsung smart phone looks almost similarly with other touch-screen mobile phones like Samsung Rogue. But if you look closer, you will see some major differences. The main difference is that it measures 117 x 59 x 16.5 mm in dimensions and a total weight of 161 grams, being very big for a cell phone. The case is made of combination of resistant plastic and soft materials, painted in an attractive color scheme. Even if the Samsung Moment looks very big, thanks to the great design and used materials, it feels very comfortable in your hand or pocket.

Like other smart phones, the Samsung Moment has a 3.2 inch AMOLED touch screen capable of offering you a maximum resolution of 480 x 320 pixels. Even if this display is smaller than the iPhone’s, it supports 16 million colors, so the images will be excellent. For a better quality, this display allows you to adjust the brightness, contrast even the settings of the accelerometer. Because this display occupies almost entire front side, the Samsung Moment has only three touch buttons (Home, Menu and Back), an OK button and the classic Call and End keys.

These keys are large enough and responsive so you can easily navigate in the menu. On the sides, it has a volume rocker, a voice dialing button and a camera shutter, a microUSB port (for charging and connect it with a PC) and a 3.5 mm jack for attaching headphones or other external speakers. For typing, the Samsung Moment has a full QWERTY keyboard. Like other models, this keyboard is very spacious with large and well defined keys. The keys are arranged in four rows and have enough space between them so you can easily write on them without making any mistakes.

This keyboard looks exactly like a PC keyboard. It is composed by number keys which have dedicated buttons, a large spacebar, a set of four arrow buttons and back, return and function keys. For taking photos, this Samsung smart phone has an integrated 3.2 Megapixels camera capable of taking  pictures at a maximum resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels and recording clips at a maximum resolution of 352 x 288 pixels.

For connectivity, the Samsung Moment comes with a lot of high-end features. Being a Quad-Band device, it supports GPRS, EDGE, GSM and 3G. Other connectivity features which this smart phone has are Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0, USB, Google Talk, PC sync, GPS and a 3.5 mm jack. With all these, you certainly will be able to stay in touch with your friends every time.

The Samsung Moment comes with a standard Li-Ion 1440 mAh battery which is capable of keeping it up for 5.5 hours of conversations and 320 hours in standby mode. Anyway, you will be very satisfied by it if you choose to buy one. For a price of $149, you will have a great Samsung smart phone which will be able to satisfy all your needs.

If we are allowed a metaphor, we can say that Nokia 6303 mobile phone is one of the phones that will take you from point A to point B without burning tires at traffic lights.  It does exactly what a phone is supposed to do: you use to initiate a voice call, send messages or write emails.

The Nokia 6303 mobile phone has a case made of resistant plastic and a battery cover made of metal. Even if it measures 108.8 x 46.2 x 11.7 mm in dimensions and 96 grams in weight, it feels very solid and comfortable in your hands or pocket. With a case painted in a nice combination of silver and black, and the battery cover made of metal, this phone is given a beautiful business aspect.

On the front side, the Nokia 6303 mobile phone has a 2.2 inch TFT display and for navigation it has two soft buttons, a four-way key and the Call and End buttons. On the sides it has only a volume rocker, a 3.5 mm jack, a charger port and a miniUSB port. The numerical keypad is also another positive aspect of this phone. The keys are large, very responsive and have enough space between them so you can easily press one without accidentally hitting the other.

The Nokia 6303 mobile phone is armed with a 3.2 Megapixels camera which can take photos at a maximum resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels. Typical for Series 40, camera settings are rather limited. Available settings include white-balance, three quality levels from the base to the highest level and different effects.

The sequential shooting can be done in portrait mode and landscape-horizontal-vertical modes. The integrated LED flash is quite inadequate because it is useful only if you take photos of an object which is near you. A negative aspect of this phone is that it lacks a camera shutter, so you will need to use the four-way button.

The pictures have an average quality even if you take photos on an average weather or under sunlight. In terms of video recording, the Nokia 6303 mobile phone manages VGA resolution at 15 fps. The length of 3GP videos is limited only by available memory. Even if the video quality is far from being amazing, VGA resolution is still quite rare.

Connectivity options of Nokia 6303 mobile phone are considered old technology features by current standards. The Nokia 6303 is a Tri-Band (GSM 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz) device which has GPRS and EDGE connectivity features. For other kind of connectivity, it has Bluetooth 2.0, mini USB and an integrated micro SD card slot. The music player is also traditional. No doubt it is among the most appreciated applications of Nokia 6303.

It looks great, has many functions including album art and a reasonable number of formats that are supported (MP3, MP4, AMR-NB, WMA, WAV, AAC, eAAC+). The external speaker produces a great quality sound with a loud volume, enough for you to hear the ringtone even if you are somewhere in a public, crowded and noisy space. The standard Li-Ion 1050 mAh battery is capable of keeping this mobile phone up for 7 hours of conversation and up to 450 hours in standby mode.

Nokia 6303 mobile phone is a handset very well balanced in all aspects. It will serve the needs of usual users and do so with grace. The aspects might not be pleasant for everyone, but once you keep it in your hand, the 6303 will start to grow in your eyes, especially as it is framed on a accessible price range. It costs only $137 so pretty much anyone can afford it.

Nokia is the world leader in mobile communications, driving the growth and sustainability of the broader mobility industry. Nokia helps people communicate with one another and it offers easy to use and innovative products like mobile phones, devices and solutions for imaging, games, media and businesses. A new model of cell phone which is designed especially for business people is the Nokia 9300.

The Nokia 9300 has a resistant plastic wide clamshell case which comes painted in silver. With 133 x 51 x 22 mm in dimensions and 169 grams in weight, it is the slimmest Communicator handset which Nokia ever made. If you look at phone, it’s seems like a regular cell phone. On the front side it has a 128 x 128 pixels TFT display which supports 65K colors, two soft keys, a D-Pad controller and a spacious and large numeric keypad. The keys have a great silver finish so you will feel comfortable typing on them. Because the Nokia 9300 lacks external an external volume rocker or other buttons, on the sides you will find only an Infrared port and a USB port.

When the phone is closed, it looks exactly like a large regular phone, but if you open it, you will be surprised. The Nokia 9300 comes with a 4.0 inches TFT display with a native resolution of 640 x 200 pixels. Supporting 65K colors, this beautiful display will offer you great colors with a good balance between contrast and brightness. This wide-screen format is excellent for you to surf on the internet, watch movies or write documents.

But that is not all. Being a Communicator handset, it comes with a full-QWERTY keyboard. With flat and large keys you can easily write emails or other documents but because these keys are a bit piled, you will need some time to get used to them. The keys are very responsive and offer a comfortable typing experience.  The shortcut keys like Desk, Telephone, Messaging, Web, Contacts, Documents, Calendar and My Own plus four keys which are positioned along of display and a thumb-stick directional controller will help you by making your job a lot easier.

Being a business handset, The Nokia 9300 don’t have many multimedia features.  Even if this cell phone is compatible with MPEG4 and 3GPP video formats, it doesn’t have an integrated camera for taking pictures or record clips. Because it is compatible with RealPlayer, it supports many music formats like MP3, MP4, RA and MIDI.  Powered by a TI OMAP 1510 150 MHz processor this handset runs the Symbian OS v7.0s without any lag or other problems. The internal memory has 80 MB of free space for your files but thanks to the MMC card slot, you can extent it to a maximum 4 GB.

In terms of connectivity, the Nokia 9300 is a Tri-Band (GSM 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz) device which has the classic GPRS and EDGE data features. Other connectivity features which are present there are Bluetooth 2.0, Infrared and Pop-Port USB. A negative aspect for a Communicator handset like this is that the Nokia 9300 lacks Wireless, 3G and GPS features. The external speaker is great. It produces clear sound with a loud volume. In the standard package, this cell phone comes with a mono headphone but if you want to listen to music with more bass or better sound quality you can buy another set of headphones and attach them to your Nokia.

The Li-Po 970 mAh battery is capable of keeping this cell phone on for 4 hours of conversation and up to 200 hours in standby mode. These values are not the best for a Communicator handset but you can buy a secondary battery and increase cell phone’s life.

Even from the beginning, HTC was recognized by having a large range of powerful smartphones with a lot of high-end technology features. A new Pocket PC phone model is the HTC P4000. Identical with HTC Mogul, this Windows Mobile smartphone is a CDMA device with Windows Mobile 5 pre-installed.

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

The HTC P4000 has a solid construction with a resistant plastic case. The rounded edges and a great design give a real business aspect for this smartphone. With 59 x 110 x 18.5mm in dimensions and 165 grams in weight, this handset is exactly what I call slim and light. A thing which you are probably going to love about the HTC P4000 is the slide-out QWERTY keyboard.


The keyboard is large, having flat keys with enough space between them. The keys are very responsive and comfortable to press so you can write on them easily. On the front side, you have a five-way navigation button, four soft keys (including OK and Windows) and the classic Call and End buttons. On the sides, you will find a volume rocker, a Wi-Fi button, camera shutter and the power key.

Like other HTC smartphone models, the HTC P4000 has a full touch screen 2.8 inch display with a native resolution of 240 x 320 pixels.  Supporting 65K colors, this display will offer you clear images with a good contrast and saturation. The touch screen is very responsive, but if you want more accuracy, the bottom right side of the phone hosts a special place where the stylus pen is located.

This smartphone has an integrated 2.0 Megapixel camera which is good for a phone, but it’s also a bit too cheap for this handset. With features like 4x digital zoom and flash LED, the photos have a poor quality of colors, so we recommend that you use it only when you really have to. The internal speaker has loud volume levels and the sounds are clear. The pre-installed portable Windows Media Player version allows you to listen to music or watch movies comfortably and you will enjoy a great quality of images if you put it in landscape mode.

Being a CDMA (800 / 1900 / cdmaOne / CDMA2000 1xRTT / CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rel. 0 / CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev A) device, it excels in connectivity terms.  You will be able to stay connected anytime because this smartphone recognizes almost all mobile phone networks. And like other smartphone models it couldn’t lack the EDGE, 3G, GPRS, HDSMA, Wireless, Bluetooth 2.0, Infrared, GPS and miniUSB connectivity features.

Powered by a Qualcomm MSM7500 processor and 64 MB of RAM memory, the HTC P4000 is able to run multi-tasks without any lag. Being such a powerful and great smartphone, it needs to have a big storage capacity. The HTC P4000 has only 256 MB of free space, but it can be extended up to 16 GB with microSD, TransFlash or SIDO cards. The Windows Mobile 5 interface makes this smarphone act like a Pocket PC without a doubt. The pre-installed Microsoft Office Mobile, Windows Media Player, Pocket MSN Messenger, Mobile Internet Explorer browser or many other applications are a delight for people that like to get a kick out of their phone’s functionality.

The Li-Ion 1500 mAh battery will keep this smartphone on for 200 minutes of conversation and 10 days in standby mode. Anyway, if you are looking for a smartphone, we recommend you to buy his handset because you will be surprised by its capacities. For a price of $199 you sure do get a lot of goodies…

The HTC P4350 is another professional HTC smartphone with Windows Mobile based functions. With a resistant plastic case painted in black with some beautiful silver accents, the HTC P4350 has an excellent business aspect. The entire front face is dominated by a huge touch screen display, but the most important aspect of this phone is that it has a full QWERTY keyboard.

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

This type of keyboard makes the phone look a bit larger than it actually is but, even so it has only 109 x 59 x 17 mm in dimensions and 168 grams in weight, good values for a smartphone.

On the back side, the HTC P4350 has a 2 Megapixel camera which takes pictures with a maximum resolution of 1600 x 1200 pixels. Because it lacks auto-focus and flash LED, the images will be a bit unclear with a poor quality (especially if you are in a dark room).  A negative aspect is that the camera shutter presents a bit of lag. Powered by a TI OMAP 850 200 MHz processor and 64 MB of RAM memory, the HTC P4350 is capable of running multi-tasks without problems or lag. It comes with Windows Mobile 5 pre-installed and a lot of helpful applications like Pocket Internet Explorer, Pocket Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF viewer) and Windows Media Player.
