Nokia N93 Review at DigitalTrends

DigitalTrends has a review up of the Nokia N93 and concludes, “The N93’s performance is exemplary on almost all counts. On the phone front, sound quality is about a B+; a little thin, but clear with plenty of volume. The problem is that the earpiece has to be precisely placed on your lobe for optimum [...]

i-mate SPL

MobileBurn has a review up of the i-mate SPL, and likes the smartphone, concluding, “While I can’t say that the i-mate SPL is a perfect device, it does come very close to it. To have the power of Windows Mobile 5.0 in an attractive, slim design such as this is fantastic in my opinion. i-mate [...]

iMate JasJam Review at Smarthouse

Smarthouse has a review of the iMate JasJam and is not at all impressed with the smartphone: “Thiis iMate organiser and phone was released late in November 06 to run on the new Telstra G Network however it does not work well with the new Windows Vista operating system which was also released to the [...]

Samsung BlackJack Review at DigitalTrends

DigitalTrends has a review of the Samsung BlackJack and concludes, ” Why, oh why, did Samsung shuffle Blackjack’s keyboard? Blessed with Blackjack’s blazing HSDPA online speed and superior multimedia features, one could easily ignore this handset’s other petty peccadilloes. But why purposely place unnecessary and unreasonable hurdles to a cell phone’s primary function? How great [...]

Nokia N91 Review at PCAuthority

PCAuthority reviews the Nokia N91 and is impressed with this richly featured smartphone: “Staggeringly, the N91 also makes phone calls. It’s a 3G phone and so offers all of the video messaging that you’d expect – although there isn’t a front-facing camera for direct video calls. Our only real gripes are that it’s not the [...]

BlackBerry Pearl Review at MobileTechReview

MobileTechReview reviews the BlackBerry Pearl and concludes, “The BlackBerry Pearl is RIM’s ideal device to bring fresh recruits to the “CrackBerry” camp with its sleek style and new-user friendly features. In this fashion conscious mobile market, looks alone will sell quite a few Pearls. While traditional BlackBerry users will need some time to get used [...]

Nokia E70 Review at ComputerWorld

ComputerWorld reviews the Nokia E70 and concludes, “Overall, this unit is stylish and small but, with the gullwing keyboard, it doesn’t feel cramped to use. Even with its exceptional sharpness and resolution, the screen is a bit tiny, so you won’t want to spend your days editing documents with it. However, for the business user [...]

Palm Treo 680 Review at PDA Street

PDAStreet reviews the Palm Treo 680 and writes, “The battery for the 680 is only rated for 4 hours of talk time, versus 6 hours for the 650 and 4.5 hours for the 700.

Palm Treo 680 Review at ITReviews

ITReviews has a review up of the Palm Treo 680, and concludes, “the last Treo to run on the Palm Operating System, the Treo 650, appeared towards the middle of 2005 and considering the long time gap between then and now some of the Treo 680’s specifications are a real let-down. … The Treo 680 [...]

Cingular BlackJack Review at MobilitySite

MobilitySite has a review of the Cingular BlackJack by Samsung and concludes, “The fact that the Cingular Blackjack has 3G connectivity makes this a hit by itself.

HP iPAQ hw6945 Review at CNET

CNET has a review of the HP iPAQ hw6945 and concludes, “… call quality was generally positive. Beyond phone quality, the HP iPaq hw6945 was a mediocre performer. The Web browsing experience was good as pages loaded quickly, though it was nothing compared to the super-fast Cingular 8525. The handheld was generally responsive to our [...]

Palm Treo 700p Review at CoolTechZone

CoolTechZone has a review up of the Palm Treo 700p, and concludes, “According to Palm, the battery life should last approximately 4.5 hours of talk time and 300 hours of standby time.

Palm Treo 750v Review at MobileBurn

Samsung IP-830W (Sprint) Review at PCMag

PCMag has a review up of the Samsung IP830W at Sprint, and concludes, “Overall, the Sprint International Smart Device IP-830W by Samsung is a niche solution for global travelers who need a PDA and phone in one device. I commend Sprint in particular for being open-minded about the unlocked GSM slot. Most other Sprint users [...]

Nokia N93 Review at MobileBurn

MobileBurn has a review of the Nokia N93 and concludes, “The Nokia N93 is a fantastic phone, and apart from the slow camera UI, I really have nothing much to complain about. Although some might be put off by the sheer size and bulk of this behemoth, those who don’t mind it will find the [...]

GadgetNutz has a review of the Samsung BlackJack (Samsung i607) and concludes, “If I were not locked into a contract with another carrier and I was looking for the coolest phone/Smart Phone on the planet – I would buy the Blackjack – hands down.

PalmInfoCenter has a review up of the Palm Treo 680 and concludes, “Treo 680 brings a much needed slimmer look and feel to the Treo line at a very nice price point.

Palm Treo 680 Review at MobileTechReview

MobileTechReview has a review up of the Palm Treo 680 and concludes, “A strong entry-level Treo that will likely attract news users, especially at such a reasonable price point.
