2. Loud speaker for playing music.
3. Standard 1/8" mini jack for headphones.

CECT Mini KA08 Dual SIM Cell Phone Mobile Double SIM, Touch Screen LCD, 4GB Micro SD, Unlocked, Black, Quadband Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My Nokia died and I'm leaving AT&T when my subscription expires ... so wanted something cheap that will last a few months and thought I'd give this a try. Phone is cute, very nice size, feels solid & sturdy and has a responsive touch screen. I get good reception. Has lots of fun features ... but they are almost impossible to use because the menus are unnecessarily complicated and many are non-functional. For example, to reply to a missed phone call requires fumbling through several menus just to find an option to call them back. No shortcuts either. There is a shortcut icon and you can modify the shortcuts -- but they are non functional??! So there are "shortcuts" ... they just don't work. I don't know about the online stuff - not of interest at this time so I have not used them. The camera seems to take ok pictures. But you can't USE them on the phone because the size limit on contact and wallpaper photos is 20bytes. So even though it says you can assign a photo to a person in your contact list, it doesn't display it. The screen is nice and big but the photo display is so small - why bother? It also doesn't recognize your contacts when they call. Doesn't display either the name or the photo even though the contact has a designated photo, ring tone and name ... all you get when they call is their phone number. Caller ID? What's that? Also menu font is so tiny, unless you have very good close up vision, you will need glasses to read it.
OK sound from FM radio and MP3. Bluetooth connected no problem. It has the option to use two SIM cards - which I don't need and which contribute to the already cumbersome menus. There is more bad than good to this phone. I wish I had been able to find some reviews before I bought it. I doubt there are any good ones.
KA08 had the potential to be a HOT phone. But because of the horrible (and I mean HORRIBLE) menus and numerous non-functioning or almost useless features, I would urge you to NOT buy this phone. You will be disappointed.

Pyrus Electronics 2GB Touch Screen MP3 /MP4 Player with Digital Camera Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this as a Christmas present for my 8 year old son, after charging the device and loading music, it worked fine for the first half hour. After that, it was turning itself off and on even though the battery was full charged. Device would play a tune then would have errors that that tune couldn't replay.

Nokia 5310 Unlocked Cell Phone with 2 MP Camera, MP3/Video Player, MicroSD Slot--International Version with No Warranty (Red) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had this phone for a while now and have been very pleased. It seems to be much more durable than the two Moto Razr's I had previously. I like the improved alarms. I have my M-F alarm which lets me sleep in on weekends, reminders for my weekly and monthly appointments, and more. My favorite feature is being able to use any music file as a ring tone or alarm. I was unable to do this with both the Moto Razr's I had. I can transfer any of my MP3s to my phone over USB. The 1 GB storage is more than enough for me, but you can easily add more with the MicroSD card. This phone has actually replaced my iPod now! It doesn't have GPS and I can't watch TV, but I also didn't want to spend the extra money for the iPhone. I don't see any reason not to recommend this phone to anyone, it is very durable (I'm an avid rock climber) and its battery lasts about a week per charge depending on use (I talk about 3k minutes per month). I'm very satisfied with my Nokia Xpress Music.

Sony Ericsson TM506 Phone, Black/Chrome/Amber (T-Mobile) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have only had my phone for a little over a week (new T-mobile service). I have found the phone to be easy to navigate and customize. Call clarity is excellent. Display is beautiful (bright, vivid colors). I am waiting on my data cable to arrive, so haven't tried the music player yet. However I have bluetoothed files back and forth with my kids (a new experience for me) - which is my temp way around not having the data cable. Battery life is so-so. My Katana (Sprint service) seemed to go a little longer between charges. However, I have been using the phone heavily as I test it out; under normal circumstances my phone has fair to moderate use (primarily texting).
To give you an idea of the types of phones I have been accustomed to, my previous phones are an old Nokia bar phone (I don't even remember the model #), followed by a Motorola clamshell phone (think it was a V190), followed by the Sprint Katana (I really liked this phone).
I would agree with others that there is often an irritating delay when accessing menus (and even on opening the phone up). Sometimes it is very fast - other times takes several seconds (long enough for you to wonder if you really pushed the button or in the case of opening up the phone - whether the phone is even powered on). I almost exchanged this phone for another one simply because of this irritation. However, I didn't have another phone I liked from T-mobile in the $50 and under range - and couldn't justify spending $149 or more for the phones I would have considered. For my intended uses of this phone - it has all the features I want and the sometimes lag doesn't affect what I do. No phone is perfect - and I decided this would be the one feature that I don't like on this phone.
Pros:
1. Phone feels nice in hand, not to big or small
2. Call clarity is great
3. Brilliant looking display (bright and vivid colors)
4. Easy to customize, easy to navigate
5. Love the fact that I can type as long of a text message as I want - and the phone simply breaks them apart for me when it sends (as opposed to me having to create/send multiple messages).
6. Loud ringers, easy to hear.
7. Like the option to see my email through t-mail - without incurring a data charge (counts as text messaging). That said, it can be slow to look at the emails - and since I would rather answer on my computer - I probably won't use this.
Cons:
1. Menu lag time (on my phone, not always present, and when it is present - it is in varying degrees)
2. No backlight for cover or screen (the light is either on or it is off - and it is not possible to alter this). The light does start dimming before it goes off - so if you are looking at something - you can then just hit the toggle key to keep in on another 15 or 20 seconds.
3. Would have preferred a window on the front of the phone, but instead there is a small retangular window that displays the time (or a message - such as letting you know you have a new text message).
4. Wish there were some type of notification on the phone for missed messages/calls (my Katana had a small light that would occasionally flash).
For me the pros outweight the cons. As I said, there is no perfect phone - so it is a matter of deciding what things you can live with (and without). If it weren't for the menu lag, this phone would be perfect for me.

Sony Ericsson S500i Unlocked Cell Phone with 2 MP Camera, MP3/Video Player, Memory Stick Micro Slot--U.S. Version with Warranty (Mysterious Green) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this phone in purple - in support of pancreatic cancer awareness and because I wanted a quad band phone.
It is nice to look at, has a nice "feel", but the features are basic.
There is very little you can do with it in terms of the telephone aspect of it. I guess it is great for photos, especially since it has the photo editor. The screen is the best feature on this phone. It is big and performs well even in direct sunlight (a plus for the camera users). After 6 photos which I transferred from my Nokia I was told that the memory was full. My Nokia 6320 has loads of photos and music on it.
With regard to ringtones, you'd probably have to buy the memory card, or stick with what they have on the phone. I was not too enthusiastic about the ringtones the phone came with. I like naturelike sounds and classic ringtones. I read a review which said that Sony was targetting the younger folk (I am 45), so that accounts for the type of ringtones and graphics which are embedded in the phone.
The slide mechanism is sturdy, as is the keypad. The slits which represent the select and menu buttons can be a tad difficult if you have long nails, or large fingers (again the target was young folk).
The downsides are that the vibrating mechanism is weak and for some reason unknown to me, after 45 minutes of talking on it, the phone cuts off.

Samsung a747 SLM Blue Phone (AT&T) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this phone as an upgrade from the Samsung e317 about a month ago. Overall I've enjoyed using this phone. It's solid as a phone, music player, and it's thin. The phone fits in my pocket nice and easy. Battery life for me has been average and the camera is ok.
I like Samsung for their applications and ease of use, especially how easy it is to put it in silent mode. This phone continues with that tradition. It's easy to customize contacts with ringtones, photos, and change shortcut buttons. What makes this phone really better than my old one is the microSD. It's really easy to add photos, MP3s, and video clips to the card. I just use the adapter, that's included, to turn the micro into a standard SD card, and plugged it into my computer to add the files.
Once the files are on the card it's easy to find them. You can tell Samsung focused on audio. There is a button specifically for the music player, which allows you to create playlists, search by artist, and albums. The phone comes with an adapter that allows you to use standard headphones but it's awkward, it does come with Bluetooth stereo capabilities, but I haven't used that yet. On the bottom of the phone is a speaker that I thought didn't work until one day I closed the phone while music was playing and suddenly music came out of it, which was a nice surprise. Also that speaker does playback MP3 ringtones and message alerts when phone is closed, I have no problem hearing the phone while it's in my pocket.
When I first got this phone and saw it could play videos, I wonder what it would be like to watch videos on a cell phone screen. It turned out to be pretty neat watching music videos, movie trailers, and sport clips on it. It's great showing them to my friends.
Battery life for me has been average when compared to my old phone, lasting about 3 days between charges. Perhaps that's because I use more of the multimedia functions like listening to music and watching videos. Also it takes forever to charge the battery.
Another thing I didn't like was the camera and its rotating camera lens. It feels the camera responds slower then on my old phone and makes it difficult taking pictures of kids, who never want to sit still long enough to prevent blurry pictures. Once the camera snaps the final photo doesn't match what I thought was initially shown on screen. I tried to use the external screen as a viewfinder like my old phone, but I couldn't, so I'm stuck having to keep the phone open to use the camera. The problem with the rotating lens is that when it's rotated to face away from the user it reverses the image when the image is upright. To prevent reversing the image you have to take pictures upside down which is really hard to do. The up button on the side of the phone allows you to change the perspective of the lens.

Sporting an ultra-thin clamshell design--so thin, in fact, that they had to subtract a vowel from the name--the Samsung SLM (aka, A747) can take advantage of AT&T's wealth of rich multimedia services, including music downloads, streaming Cellular Video, and Video Share between phones. The SLM is also the first AT&T device to support Napster music purchases over the air (OTA) so you can easily purchase and download music directly to your phone rather than waiting to transfer from your PC. Exuding sophisticated style, the SLM is also packed with loads of must-have phone features, including Bluetooth connectivity for headsets and stereo music streaming, a 2.0-megapixel camera/camcorder, mobile email and instant messaging, and MicroSD memory expansion.
AT&T Service Options This AT&T phone can handle high-speed data connectivity via AT&T's 3G mobile broadband data network, which is available in most major metropolitan areas. The AT&T 3G network uses the dual-band UMTS/HSDPA 850/1900 MHz network (also known as WCDMA), making it possible to enjoy a variety of feature-rich wireless multimedia services with speeds up to 3.6 Mbps. It also gives AT&T the advantage of offering simultaneous voice and data services.
In areas where the 3G network is not available, you'll continue to receive service on the AT&T EDGE network, which offers availability in more than 13,000 US cities and along some 40,000 miles of major highways. Providing average data speeds between 75-135Kbps, it's fast enough to support a wide range of advanced data services, including video and music clips, full picture and video messaging, high-speed color Internet access, and email on the go. You'll also enjoy quad-band GSM connectivity, which allows you to make calls in more than 190 countries and access data applications in the more than 135 countries where AT&T offers international data roaming.
With 3G connectivity, you'll be able to access AT&T's Video Share service, which enables you to send a live, one-way video stream to another compatible phone during a standard voice call. The service also allows you to switch the direction of the video stream during the same phone call. (Customers must be in an area served by the company's 3G network and have a Video Share-enabled phone.)
It's packed with multimedia streaming and download capabilities. AT&T's Cellular Video (CV) service features content from CNN, The Weather Channel, iFilm, Comedy Central and exclusive premium content from HBO and much more. And you get access to AT&T Mobile Music, which enables you to buy tracks while on the, access the Napster subscription music service, stream music video, discover what's playing with Music ID song-recognition software, and find out what's hot with The Buzz music news portal. (A MEdia Max subscription bundle is recommended for accessing AT&T's Internet, video, and music services.)
The phone has a built-in web browser for MEdia Net downloads and mobile web browsing. AT&T's MEdia Net service enables you to receive and send emails, read news headlines, get weather updates, download games and ringtones, and more.
Mobile Banking from AT&T The SLM is one of the first phones pre-loaded with AT&T's Mobile Banking application, which is compatible with accounts from banks including Wachovia, SunTrust, Synovus, and BancorpSouth. Mobile Banking from AT&T affords you the flexibility to stay on top of your banking needs while you're on the move, enabling you to check your account balance, securely transfer funds between your eligible accounts, view and pay bills, and review your transaction history. AT&T customers pay no additional fee to access mobile banking and, because the application resides on the handset, the service is optimized to reduce the number of new page views necessary to complete a transaction. Minimal data usage charges apply and vary based on individual use.
Phone Features Weighing just 3.17 ounces and measuring about one-half of an inch thick, the SLM features a 96 x 96-pixel, 65K color external screen and a 176 x 220-pixel, 262K TFT internal color screen. The 50 MB internal memory (shared with the MP3 player and camera) can store up to 1000 contact entries, with each entry supporting 40 digits and 16 characters. It also features eight one-touch dialing numbers for quick access to your most frequently dialed pals, and a view of the last 30 incoming/outgoing/missed calls. The phone is compatible with 64-note polyphonic and MP3 ringtones, and it also provides a vibration alert for when you need to keep things quiet.
You can load up your MP3 files on optional MicroSD cards (up to 4 GB in size) via a USB connection from your PC, or download music from AT&T Mobile Music. If you have a Napster membership, you can easily search its music catalog of 5 million songs, preview samples of each song, and purchase and download songs directly to the SLM in less than a minute. The SLM also supports the full AT&T Mobile Music suite of services, including XM Radio Mobile, Pandora, MusicID song-recognition service, and VIP access--a mobile fan club and music-discovery service.
This phone provides Bluetooth version 2.0 wireless connectivity, and includes profiles for communication headset, handsfree car kits, object push, file transfer, audio/video remote control, and basic printing. With the A2DP Bluetooth profile, you can stream your music to a pair of compatible Bluetooth stereo headphones. You can connect your laptop (either via Bluetooth or wired USB) and enjoy dial-up networking--surf the Internet, send email, and access files from a server. Send contacts, calendar events, and pictures/videos/voice memos wirelessly.
The 2.0-megapixel camera can capture still images in four resolution settings (1600 x 1200, 1280 x 960, 640 x 480, and 320 x 240 pixels), and it features a multi-shot mode (up to 9 images), a self-timer, and brightness controls. It can also capture audio and video clips up to 1 hour in length (saved to a MicroSD card).
In addition to voice calls, text messaging, and MMS capability, the phone is also compatible with mobile email as well as instant messaging (IM) from AIM, Windows Live, and Yahoo!. T9 text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for entering text on handsets, is built into the unit--a plus for mobile email and text messaging users. Other features include:
Speakerphone
Backlit keypad
Call timer
Alarm and world time
Multi-lingual text display (English, French, Spanish)
Pre-loaded games, with more downloadable via AT&T

Samsung SA-C3050 Unlocked Phone with 15MB built-in memory, MP3 player, Bluetooth, FM radio - International Warranty - Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this phone on February and the battery life is very bad. Initialy it was good but after 2 months it turned horrific. After full night charge, the charge does not lasts more than 3pm, if I talk more than 30 minutes. Other features works fine. I would recommend rather buy a pre-paid phone service from ur cell service provider which comes with the phone and use just the phone alone.

Motorola L6 Candybar RAZR GSM Unlocked Bluetooth Camera Cell Phone - Silver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)pros: slim, sleek, sexy, Bluetooth enabled, still affordable.
cons: Bad battery time, low on memory (10MB), no expansion slot, poor address book.
Bottom line: If you dont want to store mp3 songs, and talk less than two hours a day on mobile, go for it.
I was using my old-is-gold sony ericsson T630 when i decided to switch to a newer phone. After surveying the market the L6 caught my eyes. It is a slim, smart and sleek phone, one of the thinnest in market. (do check out samsung x820) The silver cover with blue keypad lighting is excellent aesthetically. It has a VGA camera and a separate button on the side to switch it on. Bluetooth enables you to take full advantage of sharing as well as using bluetooth headsets. Nice JAVA games are pre-loaded that you'll definitely enjoy. SMS, MMS and WAP/GPRS enabled, predictive text input uses iTAP rather than the more common T9, although users will get easily used to it.(not very different from T9)
Having said that, lets come to the pitfalls. The company labels it having a >5hrs talk-time, yet the phone fails to deliver it. After fully charging and using it multiple times, I could only get a maximum of 3 hours, and even less if i accidentally listened to an MP3 or used bluetooth. Thats very bad as compared to any otherphone. So you will keep on finding a socket to charge it! Although the phone software lacks a dedicated media player,(that can run in background or has equalizer), it supports MP3 playback. However like the phone the memory is also slim (10MB) and there is no expansion slot.
Finally, the address book software needs tweaking. You cannot store multiple numbers under the same name, and each entry has to be separate. That means if you want to save a mobile and an office number for John, you'll have to make two entries like John Mobile and John Office.
At PKRs 6200 (US$ 103), its a bad value for money. If you still like slim and trendy, go for SLVR L7 from the same manufacturer which has an optimized address book and expandable memory in addition to iTUNES for playing music.

Nokia 7390 Unlocked Cell Phone with 3.2 MP Camera, International 3G, Media Player, MicroSD Slot--International Version with Warranty (Pink) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It was a very deceptive ad on Amazon website's shopping page. It was a picture and description of "Nokia 7390 Unlocked Cell Phone with 3.2 MP Camera, International 3G, Media Player, MicroSD Slot--International Version with Warranty (Pink)". It was a product sold by TigerDirect and advertised on Amazon.com. I placed the order and Amazon confirmed by follow-up email. Instead, I received a "Motorola H555 Bluetooth Headset Bulk Pack". It was my first purchase from TigerDirect and will never order from them again. I would have been a very loyal customer. I would also spread the word about this experience. If I could rate this review with "NO STAR", I would.
To Amazon, you should carefully screen ads posted by third party sellers.

Motorola Adventure V750 Phone, Silver/Black (Verizon Wireless) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My old phone was the Motorola KRZR. It was a solid, well made phone, but the keypad drove me crazy. It was as if all the numbers were under one solid sheet of metal, very close to one another, making it hard to dial without inadvertently keying in two numbers for one. The keypad on Motorola's Adventure V750 phone is what sold me on it. The numbers are distinct and very far apart. If you're a fumbling dialer, the Adventure V750 is the one for you.
The other features are good, too. I don't use the camera or video that come with cell phones, but I tried them out just for the heck of it and they worked pretty well. The slightly larger dimensions of the Adventure V750 allow you to view pictures or video a little larger than, say, the Motorola KRZR.
Options are very intuitive and easy to work. The menu is very easy to read and navigate on the larger screen. Voice commands are handy, too, as is one touch dialing. Blue Tooth is a handy addition.
The speaker is incredible. When on speaker phone people are very easy to hear. Better yet, if you have a musical ringtone it sounds super nice. Andrea Bocelli announces my calls now, and I sometimes don't want to answer until he has finished, he sounds so good.
One nice feature for a doctor to notice is that when Contacts are brought up the first listing is In Case of Emergency. You're given slots for three persons' numbers to be included here. That's a thoughtful thing to have.
I bought the black silicone skin case for extra protection. It turned out to be a good idea. It keeps the phone clean, and it keeps it in my pocket or on my car seat without sliding around. It also gives the phone a smoother hand, unlike one gets with the phone's diamond cut back.
There is one aggravating factor, however, which caused me to drop this to 4 stars from an otherwise 5 star rating. That is the push-to-talk (PTT) button. If you are not signed up for PTT, pushing the button defaults to Verizon's My Music menu. Because the PTT button is on the side of the phone, and because it can be pushed with a lot less force than the other buttons, I end up pushing it accidentally with the base of my thumb almost every time I flip open the phone. This leaves me with having to back out of something I don't want before I can make a call, instead of quickly bringing up the main screen. It can be locked, but it has to be locked every time the phone is closed; that's aggravating, too. Does anyone out there know how to permanently fix this?
Would I buy it again? Yes. It's still a great phone overall. Can you fix my PTT problem for good? Let me know.
I hope this helps. Amazon reviews are a great resource for investigating products.

Sony Ericsson W580i Unlocked Cell Phone with 2 MP Camera, MP3/Video Player, Memory Stick Micro--U.S. Version with Warranty (White) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)UPDATE (12/8/2008): I NO LONGER recommend this phone. I have had it for 1 year, 2 months now and during that time I have experienced several quality issues. While one of them (the ear speaker died) may have been isolated to my unit, I also had my keypad crack twice. This seems to be a common issue with this model, just search online. I had to send in the phone twice for warranty repairs, but my warranty has run out. Now, the left soft keys have stopped working. Another search revealed this to also be a common flaw, which can be resolved by pushing on the area between the navigation keys and the LCD screen (where there is either the W logo or the at&t logo).
The bottom line though is that this phone has some serious quality flaws and therefore I do not recommend purchasing this model anymore. I would change my rating to 2-stars since the phone is still a very nice slider design with excellent software/interface.
I will leave my original review below if you would like to read it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------I am a fan of Apple's products. But since I'm locked into a T-Mobile contract, I did not join in on the iPhone frenzy. Yet, I was in need of a good phone with a decent camera. I was impressed by my friends' different Sony Ericsson phones, so I took a trip down to the Sony Style store and checked out the models they had there. Among the models, this one stood out immediately thanks to the slider design. I was hooked. The interface for the phone is very nice to use BUT it does take some getting used to if you're switching from Samsung, Nokia, or Motorola. For example, if you're used to green and red phone keys, this phone does not have them. But several days and many mispresses later, you should get the hang of the interface. The call quality is pretty good; not perfect though, as sometimes the person on the other end sounds muffled. Then again, they could be holding their phone too close to their mouth. But no one has complained that they couldn't hear me, which was common w/ my previous phones. Bluetooth works very well with the phone; I've been able to sync with both my windows and mac computers. With mac, iSync (under Mac OS X 10.4) does not support this model but you can Google for a plug-in, which worked perfectly for me. I have tested the walkman feature, which is quite good. The only catch is that you have to use the handsfree dongle to connect standard headphones. The most interesting feature is that the phone counts the number of steps you make in a 24-hr day, and had an application to analyze how many miles you have walked in a day, etc. It's pretty neat, but I think it may be inaccurate. I walked what I counted to be 100 steps, but the phone counted 120. You can calibrate the function, though. Finally, regarding the design of the phone: you may notice in the picture that the phone is not straight, and sort of curves in the bottom. This curve is actually helpful for sliding the phone open with one hand. But it does not really get in my way when I keep the phone in my pocket or on a desk, in case you are worried about that.
Overall, this is a great phone and I hope it will last me a while. I'd highly recommend this phone, regardless of if you're already a Sony Ericsson user or you're switching, like I did.

Sony Ericsson shakes things up with its new quad-band W580i Walkman phone, introducing an innovative "shake to shuffle" feature that randomly chooses another song stored on your phone with just a flick of the wrist. This thin, slider-style phone also features a 2-megapixel camera/camcorder, fast Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR connectivity with music streaming, Memory Stick Micro expansion, Web browser for viewing full Internet sites, email access, an FM radio with RDS, and EDGE data support.
Unlocked Phone This unlocked cell phone can be used with a GSM network service provider and it provides quad-band connectivity (850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 1900 MHz). It does not come with a SIM card, and it requires that you provide a SIM card for usage with your selected service provider.
Phone Features The W580i Walkman phone offers a full-function digital audio player that's compatible with MP3 and AAC files. The front of this slider phone includes dedicated music control buttons, and it includes Sony Ericsson's innovative "shake to shuffle" feature. With Shake control activated, press and hold the Walkman key and flick your wrist. A vibration lets you know that the track has been changed--a new song from your current playlist is randomly selected and automatically played.
With the TrackID service, you can identify any song that you can hear by just recording a snippet of sound using the microphone. After sending the file for recognition, you'll have the name, artist and album sent to your phone. Other Walkman features include MegaBass enhancement for added depth of sound, a flight mode that lets you keep listening to tunes with the phone's network connectivity turned off, and Disc2Phone software for easy transfer of song files between phone and PC. It also includes a built-in FM radio with RDS, which displays the name of the currently playing song (when tuned to compatible radio stations).
This phone provides Bluetooth version 2.0 wireless connectivity with EDR (enhanced data rate), and includes profiles for communication headset, handsfree car kits, and audio/video remote control. With the A2DP Bluetooth profile, you can stream your music to a pair of compatible Bluetooth stereo headphones. You can connect your laptop (either via Bluetooth or wired USB) and enjoy dial-up networking--surf the Internet, send email, and access files from a server.
The built-in 2.0 megapixel camera captures stills and video--and playback of video or still pictures is only limited to the memory card size. Picture effects and custom screensavers, backgrounds, and themes can be setup to fit your personality. It provides support for PictBridge technology so you can print your photos without the need of a PC (either using USB or Bluetooth). And the W580i makes it easy to send snapped photos directly to a blog or an online photo, complete with text. This phone is also compatible with RTSP/3GPP streaming video playback
You can even take your favorite tracks to the track with the W580i, which will count your steps, your calories and monitor your running speed/distance/time with the integrated motion sensor. Your workout results are stored in your phone so you can monitor your progress.
The phone also ships with a built-in email client with support for POP3 and IMAP4 protocols, while the included Access NetFront Web Browser allows you to surf full HTML web sites. It also supports RSS feeds, allowing you to use your phone to view up-to-the-minute news and other content from selected Web sites and blogs. Just subscribe to the feed and let it come to you. Support is built in for sending and receiving text, video, graphics and sound via messages.
The phone also supports the SyncML PC synchronization standard. This means the phone can be used with the included Sony Ericsson Sync Station software, which lets you synchronize your Microsoft Outlook calendar, contacts, notes and tasks on your PC with the phone.
Other features include:
2-inch LCD with a 240 x 320-pixel resolution and support for 262K colors
Up to 1000 contact entries, each with five number fields
Java support for online and offline 3D games
USB 2.0 wired connectivity with mass storage capability
PIM functions including calendar, tasks, notes, alarm, calculator, stopwatch, and timer

Nokia 5610 XpressMusic Red Quadband 3G Unlocked Phone Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Nokia 5610 Xpress Music Red Quadband Unlocked Phone
This is my first phone with enough memory for my own personal music. I've had it now for three months and had only one minor issue and that was a software problem that could have resulted from a conflict with something I downloaded not guaranteed for this phone (Bluetooth related issue). Still under warranty, I simply tripped in to the nearest Nokia shop and it was fixed in no time with a software update for free.
Expandable memory allows you to horde up to 4g of A/V files or attach the headphone/antenna and tune in your favorite FM! Not crazy about the headphones, but you can plug your preferred into the jack. Has all the basics, calendar, calculator, etc that I was looking for. Also came pre-installed with Opera and it's not too shabby a browser considering the screen size. Buttons are smaller than what I'm used to but I've mostly used clam-shells up until now.
So far, I've been quite satisfied and recommend this versatile phone/entertainment package.
UPDATE: 02/22/2009 Ten months later and still very satisfied with this excellent phone! Still very happy about this purchase and it still doesn't show the usual wear-n-tear attributes liked rubbed off keypad! Love it!

Nokia E72 Unlocked Phone Featuring GPS with Voice Navigation -- U.S. Version with Full Warranty (Zodium Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I upgraded from a Nokia E71 (which was an unbelievable upgrade from my previous experiences with Blackberry), and for some reason I was expecting that same leap from the E71 to E72. However, I soon realized, after using my E72 for the past couple days, that the E71 did in fact spoil me. The E72 is still no doubt an amazing phone -- along with the E71 and other top Nokias, it's still in its own little league above the Blackberries and other smartphones -- but I'll admit I was slightly let down.
If you are looking to buy a Nokia (or any phone) I'd definitely recommend the E72. If you are a huge Nokia fan, then fine, upgrade. If you're happy with your E71....then I'd really think about it (or at least get your hands on one in person). The E72 is much faster, the camera's awesome, and it's still a beautiful phone. BUT you should know a couple things:
-The construction is not quite as top-notch as the E71. It's a little lighter, with some metal replaced for a sort of heavy, hardened plastic. I've heard of the battery panel being loose, but I haven't run into the problem. Mine was made in China, while my E71 was made in Finland, although it seems there can always be problems no matter where it's made.
-The optical pad is a nice touch (it takes some getting used to) and, occasionally, it can misinterpret your choice to click to the side for a sliding movement. But overall I'm getting used to it (and if you really don't like it you can always switch it off).
-I do notice the slightest high pitched buzz when the volume is turned up and the sound coming from the other end of the call is on the loud side. The E71 never had this problem. I take it the speakers were either downgraded or because of the extra plastic there's some sort of vibration (could just be my model). UPDATE: Seems the speaker just needed some "breaking in" (strange, I know). This problem is no longer present. However, still not the best volume in speakerphone mode.
***Overall, I'd say if you're looking at the E72 compared to any top smartphone, this is an excellent choice***
IF you're looking at the E72 and E71 side by side, it is THEN that you start to notice the little details that I mentioned above. True, there are a few more plastic pieces than the E71, but when I think about the Blackberries and iPhones, you're never going to get the same quality you got with the E71, and the E72 is just a notch below that.
E72 is a 4.5 star phone. E71 will always be the best phone I've ever owned.

cBuilding on the successful E71, the Nokia E72 unlocked smartphone still makes it easy to stay on top of your e-mail inbox with a full QWERTY keyboard and support for corporate communication via Microsoft Exchange.

You can now also set up instant messaging (IM) directly from the homescreen, allowing you to quickly access chat services such as Windows Live, Yahoo!, Google and Ovi Chat for real-time conversations.
With its integrated GPS sensor and the newest edition of Ovi Maps (full version pre-loaded on this phone or available as a free download from nokia.com/maps), you'll enjoy all essential car and pedestrian navigation features as well as the ability to use navigation features even when not connected to a cellular network--great for extending battery life and saving on international roaming charges.

A great choice for globetrotters, this unlocked quad-band GSM phone is also compatible with 3G networks here in the U.S. as well as international 3G networks (850/1900/2100 MHz UMTS/HSDPA), enabling fast downloads and streaming multimedia while on the go.

In areas not served by a 3G network, you'll continue to receive data service via EDGE network (depending on network compatibility).

Note that the downloading of maps, games, music and videos and uploading of images and videos involves transferring large amounts of data. Your service provider may charge for the data transmission, and the availability of particular services and features may vary by carrier.

No Hidden Costs The new version of Ovi Maps comes with all the maps and high-end, car grade navigation features you need for free and is yours to keep for the life of the smartphone. No additional licenses needed for extra countries, regions or services like traffic information or city guides. Data charges from network operators may apply.

Voice Guidance and Traffic Information Turn-by-turn, voice guided navigation comes free for both drivers and pedestrians. For drivers this includes lane assistance, traffic information, safety camera, and speed warnings. For pedestrians, this includes shortcuts through parks and pedestrian-only zones for over 100 cities around the world as well as 6,000 3D landmarks in over 200 cities to help you find exactly where you are.

Unique Hybrid Technology Ovi Maps is built on an advanced technology called hybrid vector maps. Vector maps are high quality but less data intensive and allow you to continue to navigate even if you lose your network connection. This means that maps downloaded or updated across a network connection are about half the size of bulky bitmaps used by other mobile map providers. The hybrid technology ensures that, unlike other providers, any downloaded map data is stored on the device for future use.

No Network Connection Required When Navigating Avoid expensive, battery-draining network connections with Nokia's unique hybrid technology. Maps can be pre-loaded on to your Nokia smartphone so you can set Ovi Maps to offline mode, saving battery power, and the navigation system will still work. This is particularly useful for those worried about data connection costs when travelling abroad or when you are travelling through areas with little or no network coverage.

Best Global Coverage You take your mobile with you wherever you go in the world so, as standard, voice guided navigation for both pedestrians and drivers is available for 74 countries in 46 different languages and there are maps for over 180 countries. This gives you the best maps with the largest global coverage for free.
