Nokia 5730 Review
Nokia 5730 is a smartphone with full slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Although it has a lot in common with the musical line of cells, it also resembles Nokia E75 business (mong other things, high price)
Nokia 5730
Like the E75, Nokia 5730 XpressMusic has a screen size of 2.4 "QVGA (320 x 240 pixels), sliding QWERTY keyboard, and a standard 3.5 mm headphone connector (mini-jack). Both models are smartphones that use Symbian.
Nokia 5730 XpressMusic, however, is consistent with its name, primarily a music phone. It’s amply demonstrated by the presence of additional buttons to control the music player, which appears - traditionally - on the left side of the screen. Nokia 5730 XpressMusic goes with a memory card with a capacity of 8GB, which can be increased even up to 16GB. Nice addition in Nokia 5730 XpressMusic is also the presence of an FM radio.
Nokia 5730 XpressMusic supports UMTS with HSDPA and WLAN. Nokia 5730 XpressMusic also has a built-in Bluetooth and A-GPS receivers. The camera in Nokia 5730 XpressMusic has a 3.2 megapixel matrix with autofocus and LED.
The dimensions of Nokia 5730 XpressMusic are 112 x 51/80 x 15.4 mm and it weighs 135 g. Nokia 5730 is one of three music phones, which were presented by Nokia on 11 March 2009. Other models - 5030 and 5330 are much cheaper.
Nokia 5610 Review
Nokia 5610 is another mobile for those who are looking for a phone that may replace the MP3 player. Nokia 5610 has a special "music" button, 1GB memory, quite a good camera and UMTS support.
Nokia 5610 XpressMusic
Nokia 5610 XpressMusic ranks somewhere between the less-equipped models 5220 and 5310, and 5800 XpressMusic. Definitely, however, it is closer to those first two. The more expensive model has Symbian and a touch screen.
Nokia 5610 is equipped with a small 2.2 inch display. The emphasis was put on music. On the front panel there are located buttons control the playback. These are supported by the original slider, which allows for quick integration of the player and the radio (with RDS). Although the capacity of the accompanying card (1GB) is not shocking, we can expand the memory up to 4GB via a microSD card.
Nokia did not forget about the photography functions. Nokia 5610 XpressMusic has decent camera parameters - 3.2 megapixel matrix, auto focus, dual flash. It can also shoot video at a resolution similar to the DVD (at least so says the manufacturer). Nokia made a good progress when compared with 5220 and 5310
5610 is a mid-range unit, equipped with all technologies, which you would expect in a contemporary cell phone. It supports Bluetooth and UMTS with video calls. It’s a pity that Nokia 5610 XpressMusic has no WiFi, but it has a Web browser (Opera Mini) and office tools (calendar, address book).
Sony Ericsson T715 Review
Sony Ericsson T715 is a small device, but it seems to have everything a modern phone should have. Sony Ericsson T715 allows 3G connections, supports video calls, has a camera, radio, MP3 player, the ability to synchronize with your computer and even a flashlight ... But there is no Wi-Fi. And that's a shame.
Sony Ericsson T715
Sony Ericsson T715 is a small slider phone with a small display. Its size is 240x320 pixels and 2.2 inches diagonal. It is worth noting that the display is readable even in sunlight.
In Sony Ericsson T715, the manufacturer offers plenty of multimedia features. Radio, podcasts, MP3 player with the possibility of selecting the music - it will satisfy many users. That's all we obviously keep the memory card for. The card is worth obtaining, because the phone itself has only 90 MB of internal memory.
Perhaps most of you will say that Sony Ericsson T715 has a poor camera (it offers only 3.2 million pixels matrix). There is, however, no need to worry - it is quite enough and the pictures come out sharp and with decent colors. Although, the lens is not signed by any known logo of the manufacturer. The camera in Sony Ericsson T715 offers a fairly bright LED as a flashlamp. In addition, it can still be used as a flashlight.
Sony Ericsson T715 has a 950 mAh battery. It is so efficient that recharging is not done often. According to the manufacturer, that is enough to keep the device up for 400 hours of standby or up to 600 min of talk.
Samsung Behold 2 Review
The variety of Android phones from Samsung is still growing. Today Samsung Behold 2 joined to the two already-known models: Galaxy and Galaxy Lite. Looking at the names, one could say that Behold 2 should be to some extent, the evolution of its predecessor. But we have a revolution. The new model almost in no way relates to the predecessor. Instead of the Samsung’s original system, we get as previously mentioned, the newest Android system and a set of buttons dedicated to that system.
Samsung Behold 2
We already know a bit about the specifications and I must admit that it looks quite impressive. Samsung Behold2 will be equipped with an AMOLED display 3.2-inch diagonal with a resolution of 320x480. Behold 2 will have a 5MPx camera with autofocus and flash. The memory can be extended thanks to the MicroSD memory card slot (up to 16GB). Samsung Behold 2 will be equipped with A-GPS, Bluetooth 2.1 and WiFi modules. 16GB of memory, visual voicemail, and a processor based on the ARM11 architecture.
That's not all. The most interesting feature of Samsung Behold 2 is, however, the firmware. Samsung Behold 2 is going to be the first phone that use the user interface called TouchWiz.
Samsung Behold II Review
Samsung S3500 Review
Another Samsung slider is directed to the lower store shelf. There is one of the solutions I am particularly happy about and I really like to see them in their mobile phones. I am talking about the so-called “Fake Call”.
Samsung S3500
Imagine being at an exceptionally boring birthday party with your family, you can no longer stand it, so press the button of your phone, and it begins to ring, as if someone really phoned you. Receive, say, anything that you think would work, and you are free. Convenient, eh? Applications can be really important.
Samsung S3500 is the phone for dialing and listening to music. Although there is also a camera, but unfortunately with only a 2 MP matrix and that is basically it. Samsung S3500 allows for recording videos playing them back. It is the music player, though, that will bring you most joy. Samsung S3500 has also got an FM radio, and even the ability to record music from the radio directly into the MP3 format. The display in Samsung S3500 is maybe not that big (2.2”), but for all the functions available it should be enough.
Sony Ericsson W395 Review
If your cell phone speakers are too silent, the new Sony Ericsson may surprise you. The slider was created for young people who like to listen a lot, loudly and with friends. Hence, Sony Ericsson W395 is equipped with very strong loud speakers. The headphones in Sony Ericsson W395 are also special, because they offer the effect of the so-called enhanced stereo with strong bass.
Sony Ericsson W395
The MP3 player in Sony Ericsson W395 is a well known Walkman player equipped with TrackID, which once you have even a short piece of recording, it can identify it thanks to the Gracenote database.
What else about Sony Ericsson W395? This model is still without 3G. Sony Ericsson W395 offers only the 2MP camera. Anything else? Some preinstalled games, a voice recorder and a radio. The keyboard is not too big, so before you decide to buy W395, verify that you will use it comfortably. Sony Ericsson W395 has only 10 MB of internal memory, but thanks to the Micro Memory Stick slot, you can easily expand it.
Nokia 5530 XpressMusic Review
Nokia 5530 is a cheaper version of theNokia 5800 XpressMusic model. Nokia 5530 XpressMusic has a nice touch screen and the Symbian operating system, but does not support 3G networks.
Nokia 5530 XpressMusic
Nokia 5530 XpressMusic is, in many respects, similar to the 5800 XpressMusic model. It is a smartphone with Symbian, Touch Screen (2.9 inches diagonal, 640 x 360 pixels) and a 3.2 megapixel camera (with flash). Its eye-catching housing has some metal finish. It is also tempting thanks to its price - 199 Euros.
Nokia 5530 XM is sold with a 4-gigabyte microSD card (the maximum supported capacity is 16GB), and headphones with remote control (Nokia Stereo Headset WH-205). The exchange will not cause a problem - the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic has a standard mini-jack socket.
Nokia 5530 XpressMusic supports only the comparatively slow EDGE technology. Fortunately, there is a built-in WiFi module.
Nokia 5530 XpressMusic is equipped with a 1000 mAh battery, which will allow for 27 hours of music playback, more than 7 hours of watching movies, almost 5 hours of talk time and nearly two weeks of standby time. These are pretty good results, especially considering the size of Nokia 5530 XpressMusic. Nokia 5530 is quite thin (13 mm) and weighs 107 g.
Nokia 3710 Fold Review
Nokia 3710 Fold is the next Nokia’s phone of this type. This time, the Finns put the emphasis on the ease of use. Do not forget, however, also about the features - including the quite good camera, GPS and support for 3G networks. And on the top of this, a very reasonable price.
Nokia 3710 Fold
Nokia 3710 Fold at first looks quite inconspicuous, a bit like a slightly improved version of the Nokia 2720 Fold model. But unlike 2720 Fold, Nokia 3710 Fold has not only got a stylish design but also some very useful features. Nokia 3710 fold is the first cell in which the Finns applied a new, easier-to-use menus.
As noticed before, Nokia 3710 Fold has a fairly rich set of features. It is noteworthy primarily for the GPS receiver (namely, A-GPS), a gadget, until recently, reserved for high-end mobile phones. Nokia 3710 Fold is equipped with a 2.2-inch screen (resolution: 320 x 240 pixels), which is a little too small to comfortably use the navigation in the car. Nokia 3710 fold is also equipped with a 3.2-megapixel camera and a LED lamp.
Nokia 3710 fold supports the transmission of data over 3G networks and it is equipped with Bluetooth technology. When it comes to the multimedia features we could find here an FM radio, an MP3 player.
The 70 MB of the internal memory in Nokia 3710 Fold can be expanded using the microSD cards (up to 8GB). Nokia 3710 Fold has a built-in micro USB connector which can be used not only to transmit data, but also to recharge the battery.
Nokia 3710 fold’s price is around 140 euros.

Fast typing e-mails, the use of MS Office is a necessary solution used in cell phones that are supposed to be used by the businessmen all over the world.

Nokia 6760 Slide has a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, which is more convenient to allow the use of various social networking sites. So if you cannot do without all sorts Twitter, or Facebook, the new model might be a really great solution to your problems.
