After three long years of waiting we face the RAZR V3 successor: the slim and refined Motorola RAZR2 V8. Sporting a full
metal jacket with gradating hues of dark pearl gray, the RAZR2 V8 is made to impress. With two high-quality displays with
QVGA resolution, plus quad-band GSM support, two megapixel camera and stereo Bluetooth, it’s a handset that delivers
functionality besides style. As we're writing this review, the top-of-the-bill RAZR2 V8 Luxury edition is on its way to the
shelves too, with a gold-plated body and soft snake-skin-like back for those who like their calls with a pinch of exotic
glamour. Join us on this review as we discover what the Motorola RAZR2 V8 is all about.
Motorola RAZR2 V8 has a truly graceful silhouette, but the 11.9 mm of thickness get to be appreciated even more considering
the clamshell form factor. Clean shape and rounded edges make the slim handset look solid, yet elegant. It does manage to
impress at first sight, but more on that after the jump
The slider form factor debuts in the company's S line and in fact, this is the first Sony Ericsson slider that's not a Walkman. Speaking of which, Sony Ericsson S500 is a W580 in disguise. And some disguise it is: with this slim slider almost everything is staked on design. Nature-inspired patterns, audacious paintjobs and light effects all make sure the S500 won't go unnoticed.
The Sony Ericsson S line was until now reserved for the not so usual swivel handsets. A typical representative was the once hugely successful Sony Ericsson S700. Back then it was one of the first mobile phones to offer a memory card slot, a 1.3-megapixel camera, and a QVGA display. It was only a couple of years ago that this phone was sold for approximately 700 Euros. Today, however, its high price topped with its huge size would have been a sure fiasco.
It's official. No, really, it is! The Nokia N82 is finally out and rolling with the official Nokia
specifications. There's nothing new to it, rumors have already got it right. There is some exciting news about it though -
the Nokia N82 will be shipping as of now - effective immediately. In case you wonder how much it will cost, read on.
The Nokia N82 specs include HSDPA with video calls and quad-band GSM support. The 100MB of integrated memory is complemented
by the microSD memory slot. The 2.4" 16M color QVGA TFT display is not as large as the one of Nokia N95 however we feel that
the N82 will be a strong contender to the N95 flagship.
The Nokia N82 is pretty much identical in hardware to the N95. It has 5 megapixel autofocus camera with Carl Zeiss optics, it
can capture 30fps MPEG4 videos at VGA resolution, and has a TV-out port to watch those on your TV set. You also have A-GPS
that works with Nokia Maps. Compatibility with third-party software is not confirmed yet. The N82 however flaunts a xenon
flash which is a first for Nokia but a really popular feature among users and again, there's the screen auto-rotation.
