Sony Ericsson W980i Review
Sony Ericsson W980i is a top model in the series of Sony Ericsson Walkmans. Apart from an interesting design of this flip phone, we can also have a full access to music functions without opening the phone.
Sony Ericsson W980i
Sony Ericsson W980i offers loud and clear sound of music with two built-in speaker. When the phone is closed, we can control the player by using dedicated keys and movement.
Sony Ericsson W980i does not support memory cards, but its internal memory can accommodate up to 8 GB of data.
Sony Ericsson W980i has an LCD screen (320x240 pixels). The numeric keypad is accurate, convenient, has a large evenly spaced buttons with white backlighting.
The sound quality on voice calls is rather in contrast to the sound of music. I think it is a matter of a very small transmitter, because the sound is muffled and it’s sometimes difficult to understand callers. When using the Bluetooth headset, the problem will automatically disappear (the phone also supports Bluetooth stereo).
Sony Ericsson W980i has a 3.2 megapixel camera. Unfortunately, it lacks the flash. Although, the quality of pictures is really good, the maximum resolution is 2048x1536 pixels.

HTC Ozone
HTC Ozone is equipped with the 2.4-inch screen. Instead of a touch screen, we have a full QWERTY keyboard. Mobile photography fans are unlikely to be satisfied with the 2-megapixel camera with video recording capability. However, HTC Ozone has the WiFi and Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP modules.

HTC Smart Review
The popular smartphone manufacturer, HTC has, as we already know, designed the Nexus One (Google Phone). However, the company was also busy constructing a phone called the "Smart", which is designed for less wealthy people.
HTC Smart
HTC Smart – a phone for everyone
We all know how much fuss there was when the Google phone, prepared by HTC was first introduced. Now, perhaps with less gusto, HTC presents Smart, which has quite a low price for a smartphone. This of course had to influence the richness of its equipment – you can find here 3G and Bluetooth, but it lacks the WiFi module. HTC is supported by the mobile platform “Brew”, which was also used in HTC Sense.
HTC Smart is equipped with 256 MB RAM, CPU with 300 MHz timing. Not really impressive, but should be enough for less demanding users. The 2.8-inch LCD touch screen with QVGA resolution allows for the convenient use of all of the features in HTC Smart. As I mentioned before, HTC Smart supports the HSDPA 3.6 Mbps standard. It is also equipped with the mini-USB port, 3.5-millimeter headphone jack and a 3-megapixel camera with LED flash. Users can extend the memory thanks to the microSD memory card slot. The multimedia player in HTC Smart supports popular formats such as aac, mp3, wma, wav, mp4, 3gp and m4v.
The capacity of the battery in HTC Smart is 1100 mAh, which allows for 450 minutes of calls in GSM mode, 370 minutes on 3G network or a maximum of 600 hours of standby time in 3G mode. HTC Smart is expected to appear in spring. Although we know that the price will be low, we still do not know how low.
Nokia N72 Review
Nokia has decided to improve its flagship cell phone – Nokia E71. Nokia E72 has a better camera, a compass, a mini-jack socket and a bit different keyboard.
Nokia E72
The changes between the two models are not radical. Instead of a 3.2-megapixel camera, Nokia E72 has a 5 megapixel camera. The manufacturers also added a compass (useful for navigation) and the long-awaited mini-jack headphone jack. The navigation button is equipped with the built-in optical module that makes scrolling through long lists (eg emails) much easier.
Nokia E72 has another two interesting features. The first one is known from the E63 model: a torch (just hold space, to provide a permanent LED light). The second is the silencing of the ambient noises. Nokia E72 also can also play the role of the cellular modem. This is one of the first phones that supports data transfer in HSDPA networks at speeds up to 10.2 Mbps
The package includes free, unlimited access to Nokia Messaging Service (instant message delivery - email, instant messaging) and 10 days trial to Nokia Maps.
Nokia E72 hit the stores at the end of the third quarter of 2009, and its price is EUR 320 (excluding taxes and operator subsidies).
