For all those stylish fashion conscious people who think that 3G phones are ugly Nokia 6120 will change your mind. It comes in sophisticated, smart and simple casing with classic designs in black, white and silver colour. For an HSDPA (3.5G)-enabled phone the handset is relatively thin with dimensions of 105 x 46 x 15 mm. It weighs only 89grams which makes it easy to carry in pocket or bag. It offers a two inch screen, comparatively small, but enough to view text messages comfortably. The screen also displays sixteen million colours.
The keypad is well laid out, so you don’t need to use your fingernails or pencil to type the message. The battery provides up to 3.1 hours of GSM talk time, 2.4 hours of WCDMA talk time and up to 216 hours GSM or WCDMA standby time. The phone has 35 Mbytes Memory Plus MicroSD™ Memory Option. Accessing the microSD card slot is made easy via a hinge-mounted cover on the bottom-left side. The user can store many videos, photos and music files with up to 2 Gbytes of expandable memory. For the people who are more interested in camera phones Nokia 6120 Classic offers 32 Megapixel Camera and 4 x Digital Zoom with camera flash. The camera can capture clear images and landscape. It also has features like Video Calling, Video Player (H264, MPEG4, 3GPP and Real), Video Recorder (H263 and MPEG4), video streaming, Wallpapers and Screensavers in images section. The phone comes with a CIF+ camera which is the second camera on this handset which is used when the user is taking part in a 3G video call.
The phone also offers entertainment and multimedia features along with music player. The built in music player enables you to enjoy music on the move in MP3, M4A, eAAC+ or WMA music format. You can download music and videos quickly over the phones high speed 3G or HSDPA. Browsing the Web is quite speedy over an HSPDA connection. The Nokia 6120 Classic is the most cheap cell phone in comparison to some other 3G phone. Microsoft documents and Adobe PDF reader are pre-installed in the smart phone. You can also install the third-party apps, such as maps and dictionaries. The Nokia 6120 Classic supports a large range of ringtones which can be played in MP3, AAC, True Tones, MIDI, polyphonic and as a video ringtone. You have the option of

But the best part is its text to speech feature which will read the users messages out loud enabling him to simply listen to his or her emails, text messages and multimedia messages rather than reading the messages from the display. Another attractive feature is its voice activated dialling feature. It also offers the instant messaging service which is similar to online chat between compatible instant messaging contacts.

The release of the Sony Ericsson T650 signifies two things: first, the revival of the T series, and secondly, an indication of the company’s first step into the fashion world. By definition the T650 is built for anesthetic viewing pleasure, not simply for the music or the camera. It is considered to be a mid-range phone that reconciles size, function, and fashion. Today we will see if it can really make you look good, or if the user will be left feeling like a fashion victim.
Physical Aspects
From the color to the overall design, it is obvious that Sony Ericsson is trying to be different. The green is a Growing Green we have never seen on a phone before, and that Midnight Blue is pretty much the darkest blue in the market. However, with all that we cannot help but relate this model to their bestselling T610 from some four years ago. The most striking feature at first glance is perhaps the brushed metallic housing that frames the screen. The metal also extends around the back, making the design more consistent. The camera, along with its LED flash, can be found on the back of the phone. It is a bit worrying that the camera actually protrudes a bit out from the body, making it prone to scratching.
The d-pad controller and the number keys are square in shape, whereas the two softkeys are constructed from metal plates that match the metal parts of the T650’s cover. Conversely the back and cancel buttons, along with the adjacent shortcut keys, are blended into the more plastic casing material that constitutes to the lower half of the phone. Fortunately the plastic has a matte texture, something that not only improves that hand’s grip on it, but keeps it from looking cheap.
Unsurprisingly the power button is on the top of the device and the camera shutter key and volume keys are on the side, with the power port being found on the other side. All that remains is a lanyard hole on the bottom of the phone. The Memory Stick Micro (M2) slot is actually hidden underneath the battery cover, which is released by a new spring mechanism that feels very sturdy. We were relieved to find that the memory card slot is still on the side, and it does not require you to pull out the battery to swap cards.
The T650 is far from the thinnest candybar phone in the world, but at 12.5mm and packing all those features, few should find cause to complain. The overall size is well controlled at 104mm x 46mm x 12.5mm (4.1? x 1.8? x .5?), and the weight is 95g (3.3oz), making it just slightly lighter than the K750.
So far there is nothing spectacular with the design, but that all changes when you dim the lights. Then the magic begins. The T650i is the first Sony Ericsson phone with keypad illumination effects; not only does it blink, but the light actually follows and synchronizes with the animated wallpapers. For example, if some bubbles are moving down the display’s wallpaper, then there will also be streaks of light moving down the keypad. However one would have to accept that the backlight is not too evenly distributed when moving; it is also a pity that these light effects cannot be customized.
Light effects are not only found on the front of the T650, but also visible on the back as a message indicator. When there is a new message, a band of golden yellow light will blaze through the junction of the metallic plate and the plastic, making it look brilliant even from afar. As opposed to the Nokia 6300, this indicator is only used for new messages but not missed calls. It only blinks for a couple of seconds when the message first arrives and stops completely after that. By comparison, the Nokia 6300 continues to flash the new message indicator until the user acknowledges it; this is something I would really like to see Sony Ericsson implement in the future.
With its lack of moving parts, the T650 is extremely well built, so solidly built, in fact, that many will consider the keypad’s keys to be too stiff. Before you start to dismiss the buttons are terrible, though, think twice because the small keys are meant to be pressed with the pad of your fingertip, not with the nail. The keypad actually performs better than some devices that have larger but more tightly spaced keys.
The T650 houses a 1.9? 262K color TFT screen which is quite small by today’s standards and by proportion to the overall size of the phone. The up side is that the text and graphics are extremely fine. Also, visibility under direct sunlight is great and color reproduction is excellent. Sony Ericsson says that the screen is covered by a special material that is extremely resistant to scratches. They appear to be telling the truth, as we have not managed to scratch it during our testing period. We did, however, manage to scratch the polished metal on the back as well as the painted d-pad on the front of the T650, so that is a bit disappointing.

It seems the South Korean electronic giant LG Electronics Inc. wants to mimic the earthquake created by the Apple iPhone in the highly volatile mobile-crust. In an order to catch the thunder, LG electronic launched its second iPhone-like handset with many features that the iPhone doesn’t have: 3G and high-speed cellular data networking.Coming in the model of KS20, it bears a strong resemblance to the iPhone of its shiny front-face that is devoid of almost all buttons.
LG KS20 is compatible with 3G WCDMA (wideband code division multiple access) networks, the 3G standard being deployed by most operators around the world. That means the product would cater to the demand of iPhone in those countries where it doesn’t support the service provider like Japan and South Korea.
Another feature that LGKS20 is counted higher than the iPhone comes in the faster data networking. WCDMA supports speeds of around 384k bps (bits per second) in its basic version and the LG phone will also work on networks that have been upgraded with HSDPA (high-speed downlink packet access) data networking at speeds up to 3.6M bps. That’s significantly faster than the EDGE (enhanced data rates for GSM evolution) data network on which the iPhone operates.
It is not that in every front the LG handset surpasses the iPhone. It is missing one feature that some customers will consider of utmost importance: Apple’s OS X operating system. The LG handset runs on Windows Mobile 6.0 which is often criticized for being harder to use and clunkier than the Apple operating system.

We could make up just about anything we please on this new bit of dashing design, but will lay off the imaginary specs and let you come to your own conclusions. Before anybody falls out of a chair with claims of “ZOMG! that phone is like, like, transparent!” it isn’t, we’re pretty sure it’s just missing some bits. It does, however, seem to lack a forward facing shooter, which may –stressing may here — mean it also lacks 3G services, but hey, we’ve almost come to expect that from Sony Ericsson over here. All in all, pretty simple, but Sony Ericsson has made a pretty successful business with simple designs — think T610, K750, K790.

The durable, easy-to-use Nokia 5300 XpressMusic Phone is ideal for consumers looking for a handheld with music capabilities. Rather than following the slim designs pioneered by Motorola, Nokia crafted the 5300 to put functionality first, over form.
Offered by T-Mobile, the 5300 XpressMusic sports a 2.0-inch TFT screen, 1.3-megapixel camera and camcorder, music player and FM radio; all function without sliding the phone open. For usability, the its screen features buttons on either side; on the left to control the Music Player and on the right turn on the Camera and adjust the zoom and function as the Volume Control.
The side navigation keys also provide easy access to the Music Library, supporting MP3, MIDI, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, and WMA file formats. Music listeners can download songs directly from the Web and/or transfer the songs to the phone with the free Nokia Audio Manager application.
Design
The Nokia 5300 XpressMusic can be slid open with one hand, assisted by a spring mechanism that stand up to heavy usage, and clicks firmly in place both in the open and closed position. With everyday wear-and-tear in mind, the handset can stand up to being dropped multiple times. At 3.76 ounces, it’s lightweight but sturdy. Covered in black rubber in the midsection, the same kind of material is used on some sturdier Sprint Nextel walkie-talkie models.
With an LCD display that is one of the most practical on the market, four buttons appear below the screen when the 5300 is closed; along with the Toggle Key with an OK / Menu button in the center. Consumers can use the Camera and Music Player, silence the phone or change the ringtone, receive text messages and access voice mail all without sliding the phone open. Since there are so few buttons around the screen, Nokia manufactured them large enough to easily find without having to look down at the phone. The QVGA, 262K-color display measures 2.0-inches (320 x 240 px resolution).
An inconvenience, users have to remove the back cover to access the microSD slot. The cover also protects the camera lens with a transparent coating, so photographers don’t have to remove the back cover to snap a photo. Furthermore, directly to the right of the lens is a small circular mirror to help aim the camera should users take photos with themselves in it. Above the memory card slot, in the top left corner is the Headset Jack, accessible without having to remove any parts.
When the phone is closed the Power Key, Charger Jack and USB Port are all located at the top, but sliding the 5300 open, and those connections shift to the bottom half. For those who exercise, a loop to attach a Hand Strap is positioned on the top right corner.
Functionally simple, the keys are standard – not iPod style scrolls or sticky buttons. Four color coded keys surround the Toggle Key / OK / Menu buttons, making functions easy to remember. The top two buttons (blue), are selection keys, with the top right key also functioning as a back button. The bottom left (green) and right keys are for sending and ending calls respectively. This all takes a bit of getting used to. The menu, however, is standard and easy to follow.
Out of the box, the Nokia 5300 XpressMusic comes with an 820 mAh Li-Ion Battery, Power Cable, Stereo Headphone and Adapter, USB Cable, Quick Start Guide, and User Manual.
