Samsung S7200 Review
The sensational Samsung Wave S8500, which we described some time ago, is going to hit the market pretty soon. But before that happens, we decided to learn a bit about the second model, based on the innovative operating system Bada - S7200, which should soon be officially presented.
Samsung s7200
As previously announced, the next Samsung smartphone running the Bada OS will be cheaper and will not be as well-equipped as the Wave. However, it does not mean that the new model will not have the newest technologies. Samsung S7200 should be euquipped with Super AMOLED screen with the resolution of 240 x 400 pixels, Samsung S3C6410 processor (ARM11) with a 800MHz timing, and an excellent graphic system that supports OpenGL ES 2.0.
Of course, as it is becoming a standard, Samsung S7200 will support 3G HSDPA, WiFi, Bluetooth 3.0 and GPS when it comes to communication. Moreover, it should be equipped with a nice 5Mpix camera and a microSD cards slot.
HTC HD Mini Review
HTC HD mini is a smaller cousin of HTC HD2. However, It is strange to call a cell phone, which is equipped with a screen size of 3.2-inch, “small”, right? However, this is one of the latest products of HTC, which will soon hit the market.
HTC HD Mini
The housing in which all the components of the HTC HD Mini are closed, is pretty and elegant. The entire front panel is virtually a flat surface. HTC HD mini differs from its bigger brother - HD2 mainly when it comes to the screen size. HTC HD Mini is equipped with an HVGA 3.2-inch, 320 x 480 pixels touch screen (HTC HD2 has a 4.3-inch, WVGA 480 x 800 pixels display). Screen quality is slightly worse than we had in case of HTC HD2. In their newest product, HTC has not used the AMOLED technology, which can be found in HTC Desire and HTC Legend.
Operating system and interface
At this point, there is no change. The device is based on Windows Mobile 6.5, which should soon be updated to 6.5.3 version. It should be noted that this phone will not receive Windows Phone 7.
The system is supported by the HTC Sense user interface. In this respect, there is no change compared to the HD2. Apparently everything works well. HTC HD Mini is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor with 600MHz clock speeds - the same which can be found in the Legend. It has 384 MB of RAM.
Camera
Image quality is acceptable. It is not great, but the 5Mpix camera fulfills its essential function pretty well. Everything depends on the lighting because the camera was not equipped with flash. Still missing a dedicated camera button.
Battery
The tool used with everything turned on (push email enabled, and Twitter updates) is able to withstand a day without any problems.
Nokia X2 Review
Last month, we could hear the first information about the new, low-cost model of Nokia, which joins the xSeries of the Finnish cell phone manufacturer. Today, we are happy to introduce you to this model -Nokia X2, because it has been officially presented by the Finnish manufacturer.
Nokia X2
Nokia X2 is equipped with a 2.2 "QVGA screen, dedicated music keys, two speakers, FM radio, MicroSD card reader and a 3.5mm jack, which are basic functions of a typical music cell phone. Moreover, Nokia X2 will also support Bluetooth 2.1, Nokia Messaging Service and S40 platform. For people who enjoy Facebook will be happy to hear that the cell will be fully integrated with it. It will be equipped with a 5MP camera (which is, indeed, a bit strange since Nokia X3, which, in accordance with the new names should have slightly better specifications has a 3.2MP camera). Nokia X2 will be available in the Indian market at a price of approximately € 85 excluding taxes and subsidies in June this year. I hope that the model will also appear in Europe and USA, because its specifications are pretty good for that price.
As we informed a few days ago, the Finnish giant, has also presented the first model equipped with the latest version of Symbian - symbian^ 3. The model is from the Nseries and its name is Nokia N8. The model, however, did not make positive impression on the founder of Mobile-review.com.
Nokia X10 Review
Nokia has recently been releasing many smartphones – it seems that this product sells. According to some unconfirmed rumors, the new smartphone by Nokia is going to have a 3.2-inch AMOLED screen, ARM processor with a clock at 600 MHz and the new Symbian ^ 3 operating system.

It seems that the Symbian operating system ^ 3 will soon see its first application. According to some unconfirmed information, Nokia is currently preparing a new smartphone codenamed X10, the first one to use the new Symbian platform capabilities, including the multitouch technology. Nokia X10 is to be equipped with a 3.2-inch AMOLED display and the ARM Cortex-A8 processor clocked at 600 MHz, 3G, 5 megapixel camera with LED flesh.
Nokia X10 is going to be equipped with a GPS navigation and WiFi module. The phone will offer 256 MB RAM and 16 or 32GB of the built-in flash memory . Nokia X10 is going to have a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard.
But there is no offical confirmation of this information, and no physical prototype for the moment does not exist or has not been photographed. Only some leaked documents showing the existence of a real Nokia X10. How does it really look? Is it a real project or only a rumor? We need to wait a little longer for the answer.

Microsoft KIN TWO Review
Microsoft has recently released two mobile phones: KIN TWO and KIN ONE. Both mobiles are full QWERTY keyboard sliders and have similar functions, the only difference is that KIN TWO is slightly bigger and has a better camera – 8 MP with the LumiLED flash. Kin Two, as well as Kin One, have some unique and very helpful features: Loop, Spot and Studio.
Kin Two source: www.wikipedia.org
The main screen, which is called KIN Loop, provides the user with the information about what is happening in the world's social network. KIN automatically gathers data from the sites of Microsoft and third party, such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter. Users can also choose their favorite persons, and KIN will automatically give high priority status for the updates, news, data sources and photographs of that persons. Another unique feature - KIN Spot - is a new way to share what is happening in the life of the user. Videos, photos, text messages, websites, location and status updates may be made available by dragging them into an area called the Spot.
KIN Studio means a phone in the network. Almost all the content created on the phone is available via the Internet from any browser. KIN Studio automatically creates a backup of SMS messages, call history, photos, videos, contacts and keeps a personalized digital log, allowing the user to go back in time to remind himself of the past events.
KIN is also the first phone that supports Windows Zune service, including music, videos, FM radio and podcasts. Customers with the Zune Pass subscription using the Zune software on their PCs can listen to millions of songs from the Zune Marketplace, or open their own personal collection. KIN also provides other features, including the browser with the possibility of sharing websites, local and Internet search in the Bing and an RSS reader.
Microsoft KIN ONE Review
Microsoft began offering a new phone - KIN - designed typically for people who love the social networking sites. KIN is a solution that combines the phone, the Internet tablet and PC thanks to new features: Loop, Spot and Studio (further described in KIN TWO review). Microsoft phones are primarily used for entertainment and communication rather than business applications. The enthusiasts of such websites like Facebook, MySpace and Twitter will get a tool adapted to their needs. The phone was made in collaboration with the Japanese Sharp technology.
KIN ONE source: www.wikipedia.org
KIN has a simple, friendly interface, which aims to help users to keep in touch with friends or relatives, or to make it easier to publish content on the Internet. There will be two models available: KIN ONE and KIN TWO. Both are equipped with touch screen and slide-out keyboard. KIN ONE is small and compact, it perfectly fits in your pocket and you can operate it with one hand only.
KIN TWO has a larger screen and keyboard, as well as more memory, higher-resolution camera and the ability to record HD videos. The cameras with a resolution of 5 megapixels and 8, built in the KIN ONE and KIN TWO are designed for use in low light – they offer image stabilization and a bright flash LumiLED.
