Three G Phones: Sony Ericsson M600i

10th October, 2009 - Posted by joanne - Leave A Comment

It’s been a year since I’ve started using the Sony Ericsson (SE) M600i. I like this phone because really helps me with more than just making and receiving phone calls, but also browsing the internet, checking email, going on Facebook, chatting, and more. This is one of the most high-speed Three G phones, with a good price. SE M600i comes with 60MB of internal memory and includes a 64MB Memory Stick Micro (M2) card with the phone. But I suggest to getting a 1GB card for bigger space if you want to save multimedia files on it. Running Symbian OS 9.1 and UIQ 3.0, SE M600i boasts UMTS support and the usual business applications, such as QuickOffice to write, edit, and read Microsoft Word and Excel documents, and a PDF viewer. With this features, for me, SE M600i mixed my business with pleasure meanwhile I use it for listening music, video streaming, and games. And by using SE PC Suite application help me sync my e-mail, contacts, calendar, and tasks from SE M600i to computer. SE M600i organized my business in my hand easily. And not just for phone call and business applications, sometimes I use SE M600i as modem by wired or wireless connection. Through Bluetooth I connected SE M600i to my computer and sharing files to other cell phone. Its slim design looks elegant with comfortable qwerty keyboard and large touch-screen display. I think SE M600i is one of best pocketable smartphones. Using 3-way scroll wheel we can move up, down and select easily, going back by pressing back button on left side, using its @ button to open browser (but this can be changed to other actions in the settings), and the good one is we can use pen stylus to write faster than using its dual function keyboard. Despite all its many features, the lack of Wi-Fi support and a camera sorely disappointing and sometimes it crashed once in a while, most while browsing. Read More

Three G Phones: Blackberry Bold

11th December, 2008 - Posted by joanne - Leave A Comment

If you’ve been in the market for Three G Phones, have a look at The BlackBerry Bold. It  appears to be a great smartphone with few drawbacks. The Bold looks sleek with its black color and chrome trim.  The back is textured to feel like leather, and the 3.5 inch display has a more crisp and vibrant display than most other phones in its class, including the iPhone 3G.  The Bold is sturdy, but it’s bigger than previous BlackBerry versions and is definitely larger than the iPhone 3G.  BlackBerry loyalists will be happy to note that the Bold’s design stays true to previous models, but still has manages to look modern. Among the Bold’s features, there is a 2.0 megapixel camera with digital zoom and built-in flash, a QWERTY keyboard, and tethered modem capability.  The camera is nothing special, as the old BlackBerry 8800 model had a camera with the same amount of megapixels.  For whatever reason, RIM decided not to improve the camera quality.  The QWERTY keyboard is one of the phone’s stellar features.   Email and texting are a delight with the easy to use keyboard.  The keys are backlit, and even people with large fingers should be able to type almost effortlessly. As far as battery life goes, the Bold can last up to 13.5 days in standby and 4.5 hours of talk time.  I believe these estimates to be on par with most smartphones in the same class.  In fact, these times are either better than or equal to the battery life of a 3G iPhone. Included accessories with the phone are a USB cable and wall charger.  The Bold has 1GB of on-board memory, and if that’s not enough, microSD memory cards are supported.  A maximum of 8GB can be added with a high-capacity microSD card. Connection-wise, the Bold supports Wi-Fi, 3G, Bluetooth, and built-in GPS.  Another area where the phone shines is its native multimedia support.  The media player has a clean interface, and the phone natively supports DivX, XviD, H.264, and WMV3 video formats.  Audio format support is common with 3GP, MP3, WMA9, MIDI, and AAC. If you’ve never owned a BlackBerry, you definitely can’t go wrong with the Bold.  If you already own a BlackBerry, the Bold is the perfect upgrade choice.  The phone’s screen and keyboard really provide a pleasant user experience, and the multimedia support is top notch.  The only major flaw in the phone is the low quality camera, but the rest of the phone’s features certainly make up for it.
