The Sanyo SCP-2700 is a basic phone equipped with a full Qwerty keyboard. The keyboard is rather tiny thus making this phone ideal for women, young women in particular. I even found myself having to backspace a lot in the beginning. The longer I used the phone I began to get used to the tiny keys and using the tip of my finger. Practice does make perfect Gadget!

All mobile lovers would be familiar with the Nokia Eseries group of phones that have evolved over the years to become popular in the business market. The series uses excellent hardware and gives an exhaustive list of features making it the pride of the owner. Nokia E75 comes after the popularity of the series and the expectations from it are high.
The Nokia E75 is a GSM/WCDMA dual-mode business smartphone supporting WCDMA/HSDPA, EGSM, and WLAN. The device features a side slider qwerty keyboard for optimal email experience. Enjoy videos, music, and graphics on the 2.4″ QVGA display and orientation sensor. Find directions and locations with the integrated A-GPS and included maps. Take photos with a 3.2-megapixel autofocus camera. Additional features include USB charging with simultaneous data transfer, Bluetooth 2.0 +EDR, and USB 2.0 High-Speed. Supported WCDMA frequencies depend on the region where the device is available.
Outwardly, you might not notice anything spectacular about the phone with an alphanumeric keypad. Under this is the special QWERTY keyboard that you can slide out. When you open it, the screen shifts to landscape mode. So it does not matter whether you prefer to type in a computer-type keyboard or like the traditional mobile phone, you can text your message however you want.
When you consider that Nokia E75 uses a QWERTY keyboard, it actually looks slim. At 14.4 mm, this phone is really a great achievement. Wondering how? Well, just think of N95 8GB, which is actually 7 mm thicker, or E66 whose size it matches, then you will get a better perspective. The new Nokia phone is not too heavy at 139g. The TFT QVGA 2.4″ screen is very similar to all recent Nokia phones and provides 16 million colors.
Nokia E75 is a business handset and is expected to give a lot of importance to connectivity. Nokia does exactly that- provide you great connectivity. Firstly, Nokia gives many options in terms of how you will achieve connectivity. This includes variety in network connectivity and choice in connecting the phone to other gadgets. Nokia E75 takes care of worldwide text coverage and global voice with quad band GSM reception. HSDPA Mobile Broadband is yet another thumbs up for the handset. This ensures that you will never be out-of-touch, if you so desire. All you need is high-speed data connection. This is not all. The handset also gives Class 32 GPRS as well as EDGE support thus it is attuned to the High-Speed Circuit Switching data technology. A phone of this great caliber has to have WiFi, right? And it does. It gives WiFi 802.11 and compatibility with Universal Plug n Play (UPnP) technology.
The phone comes packaged in a box shaped like a pyramid with the top chopped off and it really is well packaged and looks very enticing. Inside the box is the phone, wired headset, spare stylus, two CD ROM’s with a user manual and extra software, battery, mains charger and a USB cable, all neatly tucked away inside.
The Diamond comes with a GPS receiver built in and we tested this with the pre-installed Google Maps application, this GPS also has an assisted option where updated satellite positions can be downloaded to achieve a quick fix with the satellites, using this system we managed to get a fix in around 30 seconds which was pretty impressive.
The pre-installed Youtube application works great over HSDPA with search functionality and bookmarks, videos streamed very quickly and automatically rotated to landscape view, very similar to the original iPhone application.
The Diamond comes pre-installed with Opera 9.5 and it is definitely a massive improvement on Pocket IE, it renders pages very nicely and scrolling around web pages is very finger friendly. Another good feature on The Diamond is the virtual scroll wheel, circling your finger around the wheel either clockwise or anti-clockwise zooms in or out of the webpage, a nice addition. Actually the whole zooming process is definitely much better with Opera 9.5 simple taps zoom into the area of the webpage you want to see and text is automatically resized to match the screen making web surfing very usable on this device. The phone also has a built in accelerometer so when the phone is rotated into landscape mode the screen automatically does the same although this doesn’t work with all applications.
Text entry as a whole is pretty good, the on-screen soft keyboard is very easy to pick up and get the hang of, once you realise that you have to press the screen firmly to register a character, word recognition was also very effective.
With Touch Flo 3D running it is far from a polished user experience, it is slow and buggy, if HTC really are intent on attracting consumers away from feature phones to experience smart phones they are going to have to do a much better job with Touch Flo 3D than this, it needs to be more fluid, more responsive and intuitive, its a good start for sure but its just not good enough for such a high end device with a high end price to suit.
Turning off Touch Flo 3D this device is a totally different proposition, I enjoyed using it, it is fast, powerful, easy to use and reliable. It is a fantastic size, comfortable to hold and is packed with features, we didn’t even mention the music and video play back or the built in FM Radio which all work great. The screen is gorgeous and at last web surfing is a good experience on Windows Mobile.
Upon opening the packaging, I was quite impressed with what I saw. The S8300 is a nicely styled phone with metal and strong plastic components. Picking it up in your hand and feeling the weight of it gives you the impression that it is of sturdy construction. The slide mechanism is flawlessly smooth and precise. The battery cover is well made. And opening it just requires you to pop it out instead of forcing you to pry it open. Upon turning on the phone and viewing the 2.8in OLED screen light up, I was impressed with the quality of the display. Colours were bright and well represented. The screen is also supposedly covered with tempered glass to make it scratch and glare resistant. Well, I didn’t want to do the “keys-in-pocket-with-phone” test, otherwise the nice folks at Samsung would have my head on a stake for messing up their review unit. As for glare resistance, the screen still suffers from legibility problems under bright sunlight. It seems that all handphone manufacturers have yet to tackle this problem successfully be it TFT or OLED screens. The touchscreen response for a capacitive display is a mixed bag. It may be because I have not adapted from a phone with a resistive display. Rather than just pressing with the tip of your fingers or even your fingernail, you have to use your whole fingertip (read: Skin contact) to get the screen to work. This may be great in most situations but when the button is tiny or even a tad narrow, you will tend to miss it and will be forced to tap a few times to hit the sweet spot to activate the button. It is frustrating at times, but let’s hope Samsung can optimise the touchscreen with firmware upgrades. Communication Generally, the S8300 does what a phone should do well — its speaker is loud enough to make it heard in a crowd. Reception is also good. As for typing SMSes, you only get the alphanumeric keypad to type your messages. There is no on-screen Qwerty keyboard. Also, because it is not always easy hitting the correct button when using the virtual keypad, I actually found myself using the physical one quite a lot. The keypad is not only precise but also gives you solid feedback. Connectivity The S8300 is a quad-band GSM and dual-band 3G HSDPA phone. It also comes with Bluetooth connectivity to communicate with peripherals wirelessly. There is no WiFi, although it would have been great to have it so that a user could surf the Web without having to pay exorbitant data charges. Those that have an unlimited data plan won’t find this an issue though. The microUSB port is where the charger, data cable and handsfree set all connect. This is a great step toward standardisation in handphones.

As you know, this handset comes with a whopping 12-megapixel count in terms of camera capability, while the full touchscreen display places it on par with the rest of the other touchscreen smartphones that are currently in the market. No idea on how much this will cost, but it sure as heck looks desirable. The stylus looks like some sort of eyeliner, leading some folks to think that this is more of a woman’s phone.
