Intro

Samsung was a company that always took the backseat in the initial years of the previous decade. Their mobile phones were never revolutionary or beyond expectations. They were satisfied with making good handsets with available technology and also happy with their sales.

While on the other hand, most companies tried to bring something revolutionary into the market and improve. Motorola enjoyed success through their RAZR series of phones, Sony Ericsson’s Walkman series of phones were a huge hit, Nokia’s N95 brought the idea of all in one device, Apple brought a whole new touch screen experience to the table.

Not that Samsung hasn’t produced good phones over the years but nothing was able to stand out from the crowd. But recently say around 2-3 years ago, Samsung has started to rise up to the challenge. They are willing to invest, take risks establish a firm position in the smartphone world.

For example they were the first to launch the 8 Megapixel Camera phone, one of the first to launch a 12 Megapixel camera phone, one of  the first to launch a mobile phone with HD Ready Video recording,  Super AMOLED display , Bada OS etc.

They seem to have also gone beyond their usual to market their products, especially with the Galaxy S and Wave.

The Galaxy S is Samsung’s latest device with Google’s Android OS. Let us take a look whether the Galaxy S is worth all the hype.

Box Contents

The Galaxy S comes in a sleek black rectangular box. The package contents include:

• Samsung Galaxy S
• Battery
• User Guide
• AC Charger
• Headphones
• USB Cable
• Leather Pouch

Nothing exciting or out of the ordinary but still has all the essentials to get you going.

Design and Build Quality

The Samsung Galaxy S is a monoblock touchscreen phone and measures in at 122.4*64.2*9.9mm. A glance at the measurements and you know this phone is sleek. At 9.9mm it fits in easily even into the tightest of pockets. While the handset is wider and taller than most touchscreens, it is not too large for a phone with a 4” screen. It’s dimensions are perfect according to us. The phone weighs in at 119 grams which is quite light considering all the stuff fitted into the phone.

The main reason for it being so light is that there are no metal parts used for the phone. Everything is glossy plastic. The battery cover, the front surface etc. But the build quality of the phone is not compromised due to the use of plastic. The phone is as sturdy as a rock; there are no creaks or squeaks. The battery cover is a bit flimsy but does not become a concern once it is on the handset.

The phone is basically black in colour. The battery cover however has a unique dotted pattern in blue. This gives the phone a trendy look however it’s done in a way that it’s not too flashy. So while it attracts youngsters, it does not put away the older audiences. The phone is a fingerprint magnet as in the case of any touchscreen phone. The glossy back also attracts a lot of fingerprints. The phone is quite a looker and should please most customers. There have been rumours about a white version of the Galaxy S making its way into the markets. We think it will look quite good in white as well.

Screen

The screen is definitely the best thing about the Galaxy S. The 4” Super AMOLED screen with capacitive technology is a treat just to look at. You could keep looking at video or pictures on it all day and still not feel bored. It displays upto 16 million colours and has a resolution of 480×800 pixels. The sheer contrast and brightness of the screen will amaze you. Even at minimum brightness, everything looks great. The only other screen that can be compared is the retina display of the Apple iPhone 4. All the other screens just can’t compete.

An accelerometer takes care of the auto-rotations. Multi-touch inputs are supported. The proximity sensor  turns the display on/off during calls. The sensitivity of the screen is brilliant and the slightest of touches are recognised. A stylus wont work on the screen because it uses capacitive technology.

The sunlight legibility is very good thanks to the Super AMOLED technology due to the reduced glare and increase in brightness.. The viewing angles are also great.

Keys and Controls

Being a touchscreen phone, the Galaxy S has minimal hardware buttons. On the front, the three keys on the bottom are the touch sensitive menu and back/return keys which are on either side of the Home button. All three buttons have good feedback and sensitivity.
The home button also doubles as the application/task switcher key upon holding and pressing. On the right side of the device is the power button/screen lock key. The one thing missing on the right side is the camera shutter key and this is one disadvantage about the Galaxy S.

The volume up/down rocker button has been moved to the left side of the device to make way for the power/screen lock key. We would have preferred to have the volume rocker key on the right side and the power/screen lock key on top but this way works too. Although it might be a little confusing at first.

We feel the volume keys could have been slightly more raised rather than making it flush into the casing.

The 3.5mm Jack and the micro-USB port are situated on top. The micro-USB port is protected by a neat sliding plastic cover while the 3.5mm jack remains uncovered.

Calls

The reception on the Galaxy S is brilliant. No issues with the coverage was noticed. The earpiece has good audio quality with very little or minimal distortion. Loudness to is sufficient for most cases but can be a bit feeble in very noisy surroundings such as places with loud music etc.
The keypad used for dialling is large and quite user friendly. Smart dial helps you to make calls easily by giving you suggestions according to your input just like search boxes do. The loudspeaker  is loud enough indoors but might not be enough outdoors and the ringing volume too might be drained out in very noisy surroundings. But for everyday use it should be enough.

The proximity sensor turns off the display when you hold it next to your ear thus eliminating inputs by mistake and also help to save battery life. The phonebook has practically unlimited capacity and is great. You can view contacts from phone memory, SIM card and Google contacts. You can easily search through your list of contacts using the alphabet scroll on the right, similar to the one found in the music player. You can add info to every contact such as a picture, various phone numbers, website, birthdays etc.

Messaging

The messaging application organises your messages into threads which are separated on the basis of the person to whom you send or receive the text from. We feel the thread system keeps messages more organised and makes it easier to search for messages.

Messages can be entered using the virtual QWERTY keyboard which is available both in portrait as well as landscape modes. Swype helps you to type quicker by eliminating the need to take your fingers off the screen. The keys are large enough and most of the time very less errors occur while typing even for people with big fingers.

Connectivity and Memory

As with most smartphones available today, the Galaxy S is equipped with every connectivity feature in the book. The vast connectivity options include GPRS, Wi-Fi, EDGE, 3G, HSDPA, micro-USB and Bluetooth 3.0. It is one of the first phones to sport the new version of Bluetooth which gives faster transfer rates and more coverage while consuming lesser battery life. The micro-USB transfer rates are very fast and files of big capacities were copied easily without hesitations.
There are two models of the Galaxy S which provide either 8GB or 16GB of internal memory. The memory can be expanded further by an additional 32GB using the micro-SD card slot. The phone also has 512MB of RAM and 2GB of ROM.

We had some trouble in getting the phone to work over BSNL 3G but we hope it’s an issue only with our unit.

Music

The Galaxy S does extremely well in the music department both in terms of hardware as well as software. The loudspeaker on the device is brilliant in terms of the quality of output. There is little distortion even at maximum volume. But the loudness isn’t at the top of the charts. The only let down is that location of the speaker.

You can connect your own headphones without any adaptors thanks to the 3.5mm jack situated on the top. The audio through the jack is spectacular in both quality as well as loudness. You also get various other tweaks and options such as the 5.1 surround effect, the equalizers and sound effects.

The music player is also brilliant. It is not the usual one that comes on other Android devices but a version that has been tweaked by Samsung and it will take your breath away. It not just has the awesome eye candy but also helps to ease the process of searching for music etc.

It is not possible to explain the features with just words so please take a look at the pictures and videos of the Galaxy S music player or if possible try one out for yourself to understand the awesomeness.

Video

Samsung is the current king of video playback. The Galaxy S supports every format that you put into it be it mp4, wmv, DivX, XviD, mkv etc. Although bigger mkv files might not be recognised at times. It is the only Android powered handset to support so many formats and together with it’s massive 4” Super AMOLED screen, you could keep watching videos on it forever.

We even managed to play HD Ready 1280*720 pixels videos on the phone and it should come as no surprise given the fact that it has HD Ready Video Recording. The phone could be used as a dedicated media player too considering the great battery life. HDMI support would have been cool but Samsung has left it to the hackers.

Imaging and Video Recording

The Galaxy S is equipped with a 5 Megapixel camera with Auto-focus, Touch-focus, smile and face detection and Geo-tagging. Surprisingly the camera does not come with a flash, not even an LED flash. This is one of the very few drawbacks of the device. If it did have an LED flash, the device would have been nearly perfect.

While we are fine with the resolution of the camera, the image quality  is poorer than we expected. The lack of a flash aggravates the situation. The images taken with the phone are mostly underexposed, noisy and quality is average or above average at best. It does not compete with the top 5 Megapixel performers. Night time photography is out of the question. But during daytime, it does the job.

Camera Samples

The camera does not have a lens cover so the lens is exposed to scratches, smudges and fingerprints. But that is not the worst part considering the lack of flash and also lack of a camera shutter key. The only way to take photos is by using the onscreen camera shutter key.

You tap on the area where you want the camera to focus, after it focuses, tap the camera icon and the picture is taken. The focusing time is quite good and so is the shutter speed but here again its not among the best.

Video recording on the other hand is quite good. It offers HD Ready 1280*720 pixels video recording at 30 fps (Frames per second).  The video quality is one of the best that can be found on handsets currently.  Other handsets offering 720p Video recording are Apple iPhone 4 and Motorola Milestone XT720.

Battery Life

The Galaxy S is equipped with a massive 1500 mAh Battery.  Samsung claims it to have a standby time of 750 hours using 2G and 576 hours using 3G. Talk time is rated at 13 hours 30 minutes on 2G and 6 hours 30 minutes on 3G.

In reality too the Galaxy S has great battery life. It exceeded our expectations. You could get 2 days of battery life easily even with heavy usage. We tried everything from music, videos, camera, applications, web browsing etc when we got it and the battery still lasted around 1 and half days which is very good for current high-end phones.

OS and UI

The phone runs on Android 2.1 OS with a Samsung  Touch Wiz 3.0 UI. The default Android Live Wallpapers are available and there are also a few from Samsung. The 7 Home screens are customizable  with Widgets – Samsung and Android. You can choose from up to 4 Fonts. We liked the Default Font the most. You can download access apps from Samsung Apps and the Android  market.

Browser

The browser is similar to the stock Android browser with minor tweaks. You can browse up to 8 Windows at a time. Flash support is missing but is expected to come soon. There is Tap-to-zoom and Multi-touch, although not a smooth as on the iPhone it is certainly usable. Pages load pretty fast and the huge display makes reading a pleasurable experience

Conclusion

Samsung Galaxy S has turned out to be what we feel is the best Android phone in the market right now. It has everything you could ask for. Its good as a business phone, a multimedia phone etc. It does have a few drawbacks but maybe just one major drawback and no phone is perfect anyway. The only department where it needs quite a big improvement is imaging. It rocks in every other department.

Anyway we feel that this phone will be worth every cent you spend and you’ll love it.

Pros

• Amazing Screen
• Great Audio Quality
• Great Video Playback
• Good Battery Life
• Good Day light Camera
• Good Video Recording
• SWYPE  Input
• WiFi Hotspot
• ThinkFree Office Suite

Cons

• Speaker could have been better.
• No Camera Flash
• No Dedicated Camera Shutter Key
• No Camera Lens Cover
• No Flash support in Browser
• Weak GPS

The Nokia C3 looks at first glanced like a Nokia E72, but essentially it is a stripped down phone geared towards youngsters with a range of social networking applications at its heart.

For a phone that costs from £80 in Britain on Pay as you Go, the C3 has plenty going for. Despite running on Nokia’s Series 40 platform, the C3 is unusually blessed with WiFi and Bluetooth. In addition to that it has a decent 2MP camera which is fine for taking web-destined pictures. If you expect anything more then you will be disappointed.

It also has a 3.5mm headphone slot for music listening on the top, a standard Nokia charger port, micro USB port and micro SDHC. It is bundled with a 2GB microSDHC card. The C3 has no support for 3G, but GPRS is fine with Opera Mini. It is powered by a Nokia BL-5J battery (1320mAh) which is fine for up to 800 hours of standby time, according to Nokia anyway.

The display is a standard 2.4″ screen with QVGA resolution, and performs well outdoors. Mind, we haven’t been getting plenty of sunshine lately so I was unable to test the display under full sunlight glare – but will update when and if we ever get our summer back.

Below the screen resides two soft keys, two applications keys and a call and disconnect (which also doubles as power on/off) buttons. Below those is the QWERTY keypad. The keypad is similar in feel to the more expensive E72, though the space bar is also far larger (like the E71). Commonly used punctuations are easily accessible.

Series 40 is a rather dated platform and a step down the ladder from the more versatile and mainstream Symbian Series 60 smartphone platform. It does not support multi-tasking, but it works well despite its rather dated look and use of large fonts. Opening applications can be a very slow process. The problem is Nokia should be pushing the ‘smarter’ S60 onto lower end phones like this.

Nokia markets the C3 as a messaging phone for youngsters. With the QWERTY keypad, typing messages is a breeze. It has support for the most popular messaging platforms such as SMS, email and popular instant messaging platforms such as Yahoo! Messenger, MSN via Ovi Chat. There is also Opera Mini 4 installed for all your web browsing need.

As social networking booms, Nokia has included a Communities application for Twitter and Facebook. It is a J2ME application, so loading or starting it up can take a while and it does not run in the background. It does integrate itself neatly on the homescreen though, but you will have to launch the app in order to reply.

As a Twitter client, Communities has some good features, but personally I feel that the C3 is too slow to be of any use. It takes a long time to scroll through messages and replies. Anyone who follows more than 50 twitter users will likely find it a chore and would be better off downloading Twibble or using dabr.co.uk instead.

The sound quality from the music player is rather good, and with a microSDHC slot and 2GB card already provided, the C3 makes for a decent music player. Equally good is the call quality and signal strength. It never dropped a call on me once, but that isn’t surprising – the telephone bit of any phones has always been Nokia’s strength.

It is hard to fault the C3. It is a great device with brilliant built quality and has features many would not expect in such a cheap device. For £80 (EUR100) on Pay as you Go, you get a great looking device with a wonderful QWERTY keypad built around messaging. Shame the software isn’t up to it.

Pros

+ Great QWERTY keypad

+ Built-in WiFi

+ Good Twitter and Facebook integration

Cons

- Slow processor

- Series 40

- Poor camera quality

The BlackBerry Torch is a portrait slider smartphone with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Reviewers o the BlackBerry Torch liked the keyboard, new BlackBerry OS features, the touchscreen, messaging, social networking and new media features. Since data is compacted users, may be able to save money using the $15 – 200 megabyte data plan from AT&T. The BlackBerry Torch 9800 Slide  costs $199 with a contract. Don’t forget to use the AT&T Coupon-Link $50 Off AT&T Wireless with Plan for New Customers with a Contract.

The Droid 2 is the second generation of the Droid by Motorola and the first Droid to ship with the super fast full-featured Android 2.2. We are currently compiling first impressions, hands-on unboxings and early reviews which have been very favorable.

The Droid 2 features an improved QWERTY keyboard,1 GHz processor, 3G Mobile HotSpot (for up to 5 connections,)  push corporate e-mail, social messaging and Adobe Flash Player 10.1 support. DROID 2 also offers a multi-touch 3.7-inch display, 5-megapixel camera/camcorder and DLNA connectivity to share on compatible devices.

The DROID 2 comes with 8 GB of preloaded on-board memory and the 8 GB microSD card, which can be upgraded to a 32 GB SD.  Popular apps available on DROID 2 include NFL Mobile (downloadable), Skype mobile and BLOCKBUSTER On Demand presented by V CAST Video. Customers can even manage their wireless accounts or their contacts from their phones with My Verizon and with Backup Assistant. It is priced at $199 after rebates with a contract.

Verizon customers whose contracts end before 12/31 qualify for “an upgrade to any smartphone, including DROID 2, without penalty.” It looks like the Droid 2 has not sold-out yet like previously Droid smartphones. We called our local store and were told that the Droid 2 was in stock.

The Droid 2 went on pre-sale  at the Verizon website. Along with free shipping an added bonus for ordering online from Verizon when using the Wireless and Mobile News coupon-link you get Instant Phone Rebate Only Available with Online Purchases.

T-Mobile just officially announced what we’ve all heard for a pretty long while — they’re going to be adding some summer colors to their BlackBerry lineup starting today. First up is the BlackBerry Curve 8520 in Fuchsia Red. It hits T-Mobile’s retail stores and online today and will retail for $49.99 with a two year service agreement. In terms of the big boy toys, T-Mobile is rolling that luxurious-looking BlackBerry Bold 9700 in “Flash White”. That device will start to become available on May 26th for the same price as the current 9700, $129.99 with a two year agreement. Lastly, T-Mobile’s BlackBerry 9700 OS upgrade that just became available will be pre-loaded on the new Casper Bolds out of the box. We’re not complaining.

he Samsung Champion is, by all definitions, compact. It features a 2.4-inch touchscreen, with a 3×3 grid layout that makes navigation and application selection a lot simpler. Some of those applications include a calculator, clock, My Buddies, and calendar. You can also use the onscreen keyboard to message everyone you know, along with play Java-based games. It will rock Bluetooth, and it has a MicroSD card slot that can take up to 8GB of stroage.

The Champion is set to start its launch process in June, and it will make its way to developing regions such as Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, and Asia. It will then reach the European countries later in the month. While there’s no word on pricing quite yet, Samsung reiterates plenty of times that the device is going to be affordable, and considering the feature set and device itself, we can’t imagine this going for very much at all. Even if there is a 1.3MP camera on the back.

At first glance, it does look very similar to its predecessor the E71, but take a closer look. It is only 10mm thick and weighs in 128 grams; pretty impressive when you consider what is packed into the Nokia E72 handset. It is a smart candy bar style phone with a 2.4 inch display and full QWERTY keypad.

The main things have been improved since the E71 are as follows; the new optical navigation key makes for easy scrolling and very fast, desktop like emailing. The camera is now 5 mp with autofocus and flash. A top loading 3.5 mm audio jack adds new IM features to your existing IM accounts, such as Google, Yahoo etc.

Upgrades have also been made to the Symbian S60 system, which results in an increase in speed in both general performance and the internet. The A-GPS and compass make the maps on the Nokia E72 mobile even easier to use and the innovative noise cancellation vastly improves call quality. A powerful torch is spacebar activated and there is new version of Quickoffice, delivery the full Microsoft office suite.

If you are looking a for a business phones that ticks all the boxes, the Nokia E72 handset is the one for you.

This fact becomes obvious especially when taking into accout the fact that more and more people start to have 2 and more phones. One of the phones is usually of more of an expensive brand while the other is usually cheap and non-functinal.

But then we see that some of the companies start to provide the customers with rather affordable phones which have an exclusive design. This makes the customers to have the desire to show their best buy to the friends. As such a company can be truly called Pantech. Pantech phones have a unique design with various features.

They seem to be not only attractive in overall design: every single button and curvation is well thought of . Some of the designers call Pantech phones true devoters of the future generation.

Another emphasize is made on the color scheme. Pantech phones come in a crazy variety of colors which makes the possibility to meet the expectations of the customers. They are both typical black and silver for the businessmen and bright for the female population. While the plain colors are somewhat boring, the wallpapers provided by the company truly brighten the design and the overall appearance of the smartphones.

This might mean two important things: firstly, the company has been functioning so proper that even decades past it’s first steps it is still one of the world leaders in the field of the device production. The list of the equipments produced by the company is just not a topic for a single post.

The second important thing is that the company is able to adjust its equipments with the demand of that period. The thing is that the company is hiring the most powerful and creative designers and technology specialists of the world- to get the best results. I would argue that they actually got the best results ever.

As for now the company is consisting of four separate compartments: Philips Consumer Lifestyle, Philips Lighting, Philips Healthcare and the Philips Phones. Each of the compartments is organized in its own way to satisfy the desires of the public.

While the first 3 of them have a long history of development the last one is quite new. The Philips phones produced within this company are quite typical for this brand. Some of the critics think that Philips will not be able to gain larger shares in the market. But so far the company seems to be rejecting all of the rumors and proves to be the one that might have all of the necessary changes in the future.

I think the production start of the phones is quite reasonable. The thing is that some of the companies can not afford them making smartphones while this is definitely not true about the company Asus. As a leading company specialized in advanced technologies this company is now cooperating with various companies abroad.

Some of the most popular specialists work this company allowing to make the most non-realistic but attractive projects into reality. The crazy cooperation with them is now being witnessed in diverse forms and functionalities of the phones. You only need to use your imagination and then you’ll see that the company is actually providing this kind of phones.

The company is not specializing at the specific details of the phones. The thing is that company itself is participating in the development of various innovations and that’s why the newest discoveries are soon being realized in the forms of the Asus phones.

The company got the reward of the most efficient companies in the field of information technologies not for a single year but for the years of 1998-2003. This result is so good that is hasn’t been bet by any other companies yet.

The starting point of the phone production was made on 2008. During this 2 years the company managed to receive a lot of attention from the list of publications.

Starting as a communication company in France Alcatel is now majoring its work while producing a list of various phones. So what are the main beneficiaries of these phones and why some 130 countries decided to cooperate with the company?

To answer the question let’s go over the main advantages of the Alcatel phones:

1. These phones are rather affordable due to the fact that the materials used to make the phones are rather inexpensive and easy to get. The material used for the phones also makes them even more lighter. This means that even the third countries can afford getting a phone.

2. The phones are entry-level and thus are pretty easy in use. The fact that those who are getting a smartphone and spending half a month to get used to the most (and definitely not all) functions of the phones can now safely rest.

3.The design of the phones is rather unique. Let’s call it more of a European style. The edges of the phones are not as sharp as the ones on the American models and the phones are not as skinny as the most of the outstanding brands. It feels like this is the golden average.

4.Alcatel phones are working for the both targeted groups of male and female. The thing is that though the company is mainly producing phones with a numerical order such as Alcatel OT-800 One Touch Chrome, but  there are still some models designed especially for women such as Alcatel Miss Sixty, Alcatel Elle GLAMphone and etc.

5. The company is successfully cooperating with a list of various companies abroad and especially with mobile operators.
