" In the tradition of the ROKR devices, the E2 is also built around the idea of music on the go, while it's the first Linux phone to have an initial retail cost smaller than $256. Read inside for our detailed review, video and pictures.

In the box (arrived in just two days from Hong Kong) we found the cellphone, an 850 mAh battery, 128 MB transflash-in-SD card, the manual, software CDs, a USB cable, a 3.5mm handsfree and a travel charger. The battery was almost full when the box arrived, but we fully charged it for an extra hour or so too. This feature phone (not a smartphone) features triband GSM, 1.3 MP camera with flash, 11 MBs internal storage, full SD slot, 2.2" QVGA screen, stereo sound, FM radio, 3.5mm audio jack, USB 2.0 charging & file transfer and Bluetooth. The phone is just 107 grams and it feels very good in the hand. The keypad is easily reachable and pressable, except the * 0 and # buttons at the bottom of the phone which are a bit more difficult to press because of their reduced size. The background light on the keypad is very well done and it enables usage in the dark.

"Alltel's LG AX490 is a lackluster cell phone with one bright spot: a great keypad. Though there's really no other reason I can see that you'd want to buy this handset, the cell's FasTap keypad is a major step forward for texting on small phones.

I have to admit I was immediately skeptical of the AX490 when I saw the race-car lines of this moderately sized but thick (1 by 3.7 by 1.9 inches HWD, 3.8 ounces) flip phone. It looks too much like the awful LG CE500 for my tastes. In fact, the AX490's heavy-handed NASCAR gimmick goes much farther than its design. The phone comes with car-inspired ringtones and wallpapers, and it even makes incredibly annoying car noises when you flip it open or closed. Fortunately, you can turn all these sounds off....

"Pics have surfaced of the Samsung M610 handset, along with a precious few details. It's a slimmed-down replacement of Samsung's A900 clamshell, and thin it is—at just 12mm deep it's still able to pack lots of techno inside.

Looks like it's stoked for tunes with a pair of stereo speakers, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile), a slot for a microSD flash memory card, and it even gets to keep Samsung's user interface instead of its predecessor's lame Sprint UI. Samsung's also added a OLED external display....

"Nokia's N91 isn't exactly a new product - after all, it was launched back in April 2005 - but it's new to us, having just recently been released to the US market. Most of Nokia's Nseries entertainment-centric smartphones are focused on photography and video, but the N91 is targeted instead at the music lover.

The $599.99 N91's main claim to fame is its extra-large storage capacity, which is made possible by an internal 4 GB hard drive. (Nokia says this is enough to store as many as 3,000 songs, but if you typically encoded your music at a 128 kbps rate, that capacity is closer to about 1,000 songs....

"The Apple iPod popularized the minimalist look. You don't need to look big and flashy to get people's attention these days. Instead, it seems the public prefers the understated elegance of fingerprint-attracting glossy white. Samsung has taken the popular iPod-look and adapted it to their latest music phone: the Z610. Rocking a smooth white exterior, chrome accents, and prominent music controls, the Z610 looks pretty darn sweet....

"The camera is easy to use, and takes fantastic photographs, but it's not the reason to get rid of your digital camera all together. I found it slow to load - it took 4 seconds from when you opened the cover, which means if you're after that illusive spur of the moment shot, you'll probably have missed it.

There's also the eternal problem with camera phones with the lag between when you've hit the button, to when the shot is actually captured. Again, you'll miss the spur of the moment pictures....

"Sony Ericsson will be releasing the shiny Z610i (also known as the Z610) flip phone in Q3 this year in three different colour schemes – Airy Blue, Rose Pink and Lustre Black.

The unique selling point of the Z610i is its highly polished glossy finish, which looks similar to the forthcoming BenQ-Siemens SL91 and the Motorola KRZR K1 mobile phones, which we have recently wrote about. It seems mobile phone manufacturers are hoping that customers will be drawn to the unusual glass like shiny exteriors of the new glossy style handsets that will soon be hitting the stores.....

"...After spending time with it, I cannot say I am convinced to pay the US$670 asking price, though. We knew right from the start that the KG920 was meant to be an expensive phone, due to the fact that LG has packed some impressive technology in the casing. Unfortunately, the phone simply failed to impress apart from its camera, which is not problem-free either. The slow menu and clumsy shutter button might have already turned away a lot of potential buyers. It is also impossible to consider the KG920 solely on its camera when it cannot act as a standalone imaging device, due to the fact that there is no Flight Mode and the camera will not start without a SIM card.

Our KG920 had firmware version KG920P64-ESA-V10d dated Jun13 2006I doubt the KG920 will ever become mainstream. It is also uncertain if the phone will have a long enough market lifespan to profit LG as they expected last year. Look at the outdated UI, look at the now average music performance, and look at how crowded the market has become. If you are a serious photographer without a pocketable digital camera, the Sharp 903 is too boring for you, the Sony Ericsson K800i color and video quality isn't good enough, the Nokia N73 pictures are too processed, and the N93 is too chunky, the KG920 might just fill the void and give you hope...."

"...The W810i is billed as a music fan’s handset and its 512MB MemoryStick Duo card and easy file copy facility is a good start. The dedicated music buttons help too, but its battery life and playback quality fall short of what dedicated players provide. In the end if you want music from a phone this handset is pretty much at the top of the tree in terms of features and capability, but it’s not going to come out on top in a direct comparison with a dedicated player."

It may not be very original, but it scores well on usability and is overall a pleasure to use. Its QVGA display is an added bonus. It scores a solid "Recommended" rating.

Another Sprint handset to consider would be the A900, also known as the Blade. It has a similar form factor but includes 3G support and stereo music playback....

"Flip phones and Nokia are not things that normally go together however that hasn't stopped Nokia trying to emulate the success of Motorola with hinged mobiles phones. Their latest entry is the Nokia 6131 flip phone and it's the subject of this weeks mobile review. The most striking thing about the Nokia 6131 happens before you even power it up, the sheer feel of this flip phone in your hand is something quite special.

It's lightweight at 112 grams and yet manages to feel substantial, the rear covering is not cheapo plastic but a textured warm rubber covering that oozes quality and gives you a good purchase at the same time. Measuring 92 x 48 x 20 mm we have to say that this is the perfect dimension for a flip phone and it is easy to open and close the flip especially with Nokias quick open button, it's been a while since a phone had a snazzy opening, in fact it was the Nokia Matrix phone that last had stockbrokers showing off their mobiles in the office.

"...As a result of these four basic user interface principles, the thumbwheel and back button worked in a consistent, reliable, and predictable fashion in almost every single context the BlackBerry and its applications had to offer. Even most third party applications designed to run on the BlackBerry operating system conformed to this construct. The net net was that even if the user interface wasn't intuitive to you, once you learned how to operate one application with the thumbwheel and backbutton, intuiting how to operate the other applications was a cinch...."

"...Overall this phone is almost all about the looks, but does offer a good set of features like Bluetooth, a 1.3-megapixel camera, and a music player, but with its poor video quality, lack of speakerphone, and low talk-time battery life, it does not really live up to all the talk surrounding the phone. However, if you are more conscious about the looks of your phone, but do not really need a ton of features, this will surely attract the attention you want.

"The Samsung SCH-a930, a midrange music phone for Verizon, has clear voice quality and a certain Darth Vader design appeal. But although it's a good voice phone with a decent camera, I prefer other choices in Verizon's line-up.

Looking like it was carved from a block of obsidian, the a930 is unabashedly chunky, at 3.6 by 1.9 by 1 inches. Weighing 4 ounces, the solid flip-phone has little rectangular music buttons on its outside and a two-line, blue, text-only external display. Opening up the phone reveals a pretty standard keypad with large but closely set keys and a nicely saturated 176-by-220 color screen.....

"...I have to admit that for the first few days I really disliked the M600i. My first experience after turning it on and configuring Internet access was with the IMAP email bug that crashed the device several times throughout that first night. I also found the keyboard to be difficult to use, and the user interface to be inconsistent and disorganized.

But I persevered. Eventually I saw that the UI is reasonably organized, though it does have a number of annoying inconsistencies, and I found that while cramped, I rather like the keyboard now that I have adapted to it. The IMAP bug doesn't seem to be a problem with all accounts, as I had initially feared, and it turns out that the device's other apps offer a lot of fantastic functionality.

The end result? I actually like the M600i now. Due to its bugs and various rough edges I can not, in good conscience, give it a top rating, but I can feel comfortable in recommending it to people that want full PDA functionality in a normally sized phone. As long as they realize that this is still very much a PDA in that it requires use of a stylus more often than one might hope....

"...The KG920 looks like a serious alternative to a good-quality compact digital camera, and would be ideal for anyone who actually enjoys photography and has been frustrated by camera phone image quality up until now, or anyone who just likes printing their images poster size.

The quality of digital images depends on several factors – the sensor, the lens, and how the camera interprets the information, or ‘processes’ the image, and I think these samples show the camera phone to be slightly lacking in the latter. However this is understandable given the demands on the space available inside. As well as the yellow cast and darkness issues, all the images except the horses are somewhat flat looking and could do with some tweaking. I think all these images would benefit from at least having auto levels applied, which I have tried in Photoshop, to get rid of the casts and make the images look more natural and somewhat punchier....

"Sony Ericsson, today stamped its authority in the cell phone market with the announcement of its latest addition to the 'K' series in the form of the Sony K618i. The new SonyEricsson K618 mobile phone is a slim, lightweight 3G phone that will launch in selected markets and boasts of a vibrant music design to blow your mind.

The Sony K618i is a tri-band (900/1800/1900 MHz) GSM phone with benifits of UMTS(2100) and 3G. The phone is a perfect combination of both entertainment on the go and powerful business tool. The very first thing you would notice about the phone is its stunning 176x220 pixels, TFT 1.9” 262k colour display. It features a 2 MegaPixel camera with 2.5x digital zoom and QCIF video recording & streaming. The phone includes a music player as well which supports MP3, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+ playbacks. The phone comes with a default 256MB Memory Stick Micro (M2). Users can store upto 230 music tracks and over 700 photos. Perhaps the only con is that the memory can be expanded upto maximum of 1GB.

"Samsung once again has been bitten by the slim phone bug and now have two ultra thin mobile handsets in its kitty. It has been discovered via the FCC site (don’t you just love those guys?) that Samsung has the T629 and T519 handsets waiting in the wings which will be launched exclusively for the T-Mobile network. Since it has been approved by the FCC, it’s only a matter of time that the handsets will make its debut.

Both the handsets are quad-band GSM with EDGE data. They can safely be categorised in the mid to high level category of phones thanks to multimedia features like Bluetooth and a 2 mega pixel camera. The Samsung T629 sports a slim and elgenat slider deisgn and is based on the Samsung D840. So based on this, one can draw conclusions about the new T629. The phone apart from having EDGE capabilities will also have a music player. In all probability the phone will sport a Micro SD slot, in addition to the 70 MB of internal memory. No clue on other features but according to sources, this one does include TV-out capabilities.....

Everything from music to video is handled pretty darn okay, and the ability to have nice sound quality when listening to music is a definite plus. The call quality is clean enough, but it won't be wowing anyone for reception excellence. To make up for the calls, the FUSIC has got to be the best phone on the market for data transfers; surfing around the mobile web and downloading various songs and applications are their fastest speeds yet.
