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.
Samsung Monte Review

Quick access to the social services from the home screen provides quick and intuitive browsing of Facebook and MySpace profiles. The push e-mail client for Gmail, MS Exchange, Twitter and Bebo Widgets servers, and universal messaging allow you to keep in touch with friends very easily. Samsung Monte also offers a convenient web browser, and accelerometer, which automatically adjusts the screen to the position you hold it in.
The phone is also equipped with a GPS module working with Google Maps. Geo-tagging assigns photos to specific geographical coordinates. In addition, Monte is equipped with WiFi and ActiveSync function, providing access to e-mail push and remote synchronization of data between your phone and a PC.
Of course, Samsung Monte has also got a camera. However, it offers only 3.2 megapixel camera, but with some nice features, like Smile Detection, panoramic photos, and face detection. All the functions can be easily managed on a 3-inch WQVGA TFT touch screen.
HTC Incredible Review
Incredible was created by HTC's proven recipe: the mix of two operating systems: Sense and Android 2.1, powerful processor and a proven mobile phone company.

American Incredible is essentially the same as that released only in Europe, Desire. The models are different when it comes to a few details: HTC Incredible has black and red casing, an 8-megapixel camera and it is signed with a logo of a different provider. Nevertheless, it has the same interface connected to Android 2.1 and Sense and Friend function joining into one all messages from Twitter, Facebook and Flicker. HTC Incredible has also the best touch keyboard, which was designed for Android.
In the front, we see AMOLED display with a nice resolution of 800x480 pixels, four buttons and an optical joystick. The screen seems to be the same as in the Nexus One, which is very pleasing to the eye. It has minor problems with displaying certain colors, though, but who cares.
On the side of the phone you will find an unusual micro USB port. HTC Incredible Optical joystick has been generally good, and the battery in the phone is fine. Only fine, because Android has a tendency to run many processes in the background.
HTC Incredible is also equipped with WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP, GPS receiver with A-GPS, 3G and HSDPA module and 256MB of RAM.
Although HTC Incredible has a huge (for a cell phone) matrix of 8 megapixels, the quality of the pictures is not that astonishing. Taking a picture takes about two seconds. The transition from the view screen to viewing photos takes so much because the camera has no dedicated button for taking photos. In addition, Incredible is equipped with autofocus.

This suggests that the new arena will be initially released in South Korea. When? Probably early March, but this has not been confirmed by LG officialy. How much will LG Arena Max cost?

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 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.

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.

Nokia C6 Review
After the C5, it's time for another product from Nokia C-series. It is the C6 model - Nokia Mystic, about which we heard at the beginning of the year. Both smartphones were officially presented before the MWC 2010 fair, because (allegedly), the Finnish giant had no intention to present any new phones in Barcelona.

About Nokia C5, we already know a lot, so it is time to learn about the C6 model. Nokia c6 is supposed to be a classic candybar with a full QWERTY keyboard, which is a cheaper version of the E72 model. Inside the mobile we will find: a regular screen with QVGA (240 x 320) resolution, microSD slot, WiFi, A-GPS receiver with Ovi Maps, 3G HSDPA and Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR. Nokia C6 is also equipped with a fantastic 5Mpix camera with autofocus.

Sony Ericsson Faith Review
Sony Ericsson is broadening its range of smartphones. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a typically business cell phone. When ooking at the picture we see almost a copy of Nokia E71 or LG GW550. Sony Ericsson Faith works under the control of Windows Mobile 6.5. That's right - we have the first Sony Ericsson with this version of WM on board. Sony Ericsson is hoping that it is the right direction to go – this is why its newest smartphone is called “Faith”.
Sony Ericsson Faith
What is hidden in this new smartphone from the Swedish-Japanese concern? Sony Ericsson Faith has a full QWERTY keyboard – it is very helpful when creating longer text messages or emails. In addition, Sony Ericsson Faith is equipped with a 2.4-inch QVGA screen – not really impressive, but should be enough. Sony Ericsson Faith supports GSM / EDGE (850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900), UMTS / HSDPA (900 / 2100). You can also use WiFi and A-GPS modules. Sony Ericsson Faith is equipped with a 3.2 megapixel camera and MicroSD memory card slot.

T-Mobile Sidekick LX 2009 is surely one of the cells with the best displays. T-Mobile Sidekick LX 2009 has a screen with a really good resolution: 854 x 480 pix!
T-Mobile Sidekick LX 2009
Sidekick was released by the brand T-Mobile – American mobile services provider. T-Mobile Sidekick LX 2009 has a characteristic design – it looks like a portable console, with the QWERTY keyboard, thanks to which it is much easier to type e-mails and SMSs. This feature along with the huge screen makes T-Mobile Sidekick LX 2009 almost a perfect solution for a typical businessman.
Sidekick LX 2009 has a 3.2” screen with a resolution of 854 x 480pix – I must say, quite impressive. T-Mobile Sidekick LX 2009 is also equipped with a 3.2 megapixel camera with the possibility to record videos – might be enough for relatively less demanding mobile photography enthusiasts. T-Mobile Sidekick LX 2009 offers high-speed access to MySpace, Twitter and YouTube. T-Mobile Sidekick LX 2009 has a microSD card slot so there will not be any problem with space on your cell. These last 2 features indicate that the LX 2009 is supposed to be a serious competition for ... ... Of course iPhone! The manufacturer is targeting at the American youth.
