The Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2 with its 3.2” touchscreen has been officially unveiled after its sleek-looking predecessor X1. If you consider dimensions, the latest X2 is close to its previous version; however, it’s lighter than the X1. The X2 features a redesigned keypad just like that of a netbook and reveals by sliding out the upper portion. The 8.1 megapixel camera is one of the major upgrades of X2. The custom panel interfaces have been enriched with fourteen preloaded and sixteen more downloadable ones. Besides, it is the debut of Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system as default on a Sony Ericsson handset.

Released for AT&T, the Pantech Ease is an affordable, easy-to-use handset designed for an uncluttered look and a straightforward user experience. It features a large and comfortable 3.2-inch touch screen display and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard for quick messaging and to navigate through intuitive menus. The Ease can be switched from a simplicity-centric ‘Easy Mode’ to a more traditional ‘Advanced Mode’. Additional features include a built-in 2.0-megapixel camera, high-speed HSDPA Internet and Bluetooth wireless technology.

MAIN FEATURES:

Sharp tries to do many things with its new FX, the successor to the Sidekick line, carried by AT&T. It’s a touch screen phone, a texting phone with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard and a 3G world phone with high-speed voice and data service.  Entertainer

Perhaps as a result of this, many of its components, such as the camera, are sufficient to get the job done for most tasks, but not particularly impressive. The FX also is not particularly eye-catching. On the positive side, this cousin of the Sidekick brand of handsets does feel like it’s solidly built, the QWERTY keyboard is nice for avid texters and the speaker plays back loud, well-rounded audio.

AT&T is currently offering the FX for $100, when users sign a two-year agreement with a minimum $20 messaging service or a qualifying combination of messaging and data services and a $50 mail-in-rebate. Without that deal, the carrier is selling the phone for $300.

The price point is actually a key problem with the Sharp FX. Since Apple rolled out the iPhone 4G and the 3G went down in price to $100, that raises the bar for other phones in this price range.

With AT&T offering the FX for $100 with a contract, the iPhone 3G, with its superior camera and other technology, might be a better deal, unless you really want a slide-out QWERTY keyboard.

DESIGN:

When it comes to style, the FX is more is more utilitarian than sexy. It’s a bit clunky, and looks like Sharp bundled together the features it wanted without much consideration for aesthetic details to tie them together.

The FX has a matte black exterior, with a slightly rubbery feel, and there are a couple of silver details around the earpiece and one of the navigation buttons. Blue and white backlit QWERTY keys at a touch of color. The three-inch touch screen appears to resist finger prints, which is nice.

A slide-out QWERTY keyboard is no longer enough for even handsets targeted at serious texters, and the FX follows the trend of a touch screen and QWERTY combination. Other examples include the Motorola Droid 2 and Samsung Rogue. Raised keys on the handset’s QWERTY keyboard make it easier for texters to dial or type by touch.

At approximately 5 ounces, the FX is actually slightly lighter than the roughly 5.96-ounce Motorola Droid and Droid 2. And in comparison to the range of other slide-out keyboard phones currently on the market, the FX weighs in somewhere in the middle.

The FX is approximately 2.2 inches wide, 4.5 inches tall and 0.6 inches thick. That makes the Sharp FX slightly narrower and shorter than the Motorola Droid and 2, although just a hair thicker than those handsets.

The touch screen dial-pad has large, easy-to-use keys and the screen itself is very responsive. As a result, it was easy to dial numbers correctly.

The backlit keys on the slide-out QWERTY keyboard are raised to help users text by touch, and they feel solid and well-made. It does take a strong, intentional touch to dial these keys, which minimizes mistakes. It’s easy to correct errors made on the QWERTY keyboard, because the touch screen displays an option to “clear” mistakes.

A couple of difficulties with the keyboard include that number keys are located on the right side of the QWERTY keyboard, which makes dialing difficult for left handed people who want to use the keys. At least the numbers are laid out in the same, intuitive pattern as a normal handset keypad.

Another potential problem with the slide-out keyboard is that the top row of keys is very close to the touch screen, so people with large fingers might struggle to use those particular keys.

In addition to the QWERTY keyboard, there are three navigation keys on the exterior bottom end of the handset. This includes, from left to right, a send key, a back and multitask key, and an end key. A tiny microphone is located just to the left of these buttons.

There is a headset jack on the lower left side of the phone, a volume rocker key on the upper left side of the phone, and a 2.0-megapixel camera on the upper back of the phone. On the right side of the phone, there is a lock key near the top to illuminate the screen and bring up animation that prompts users to unlock the screen. And there is a camera key on the bottom right side to activate the camera and camcorder.

The back panel on the FX slides off easily with only gentle pressure applied to the lower end of the phone, so it is simple to replace the battery or install or remove a microSD card.

While the FX is clunky in form, it appears to be built to survive a lot of use, with a solid and well-made appearance. A handset with a slide-out keyboard that projects slightly above the rest of the phone, even in its closed position, cannot be called sleek. But the keyboard slides out with a satisfying “thunk” and does not feel like it will break any time soon.

Out of the box, the Sharp FX comes with a USB cable and power outlet adaptor so the cord can be used to charge the phone. The handset also comes with a quick start user guide and a CD loaded with a user manual, interactive tutorial, games and applications.

BASIC FEATURES:

The user interface on the FX from AT&T is fairly simple to use, although not especially attractive or advanced. On the home screen, there is a phone call widget on the left, a shortcut to contacts, a shortcut to AT&T Social Net — which connects users to Facebook, Twitter and MySpace — and a main menu widget that brings up a list of applications and functions.

A tap of the finger on the main menu widget brings up a grid of applications similar to the layout on Apple’s iPhone user interface, and users can similarly swipe left or right to navigate through applications. Examples that can be accessed on the FX include AT&T Navigator which is available for $10 a month, Mobile Web, AT&T Music to purchase new tracks and play existing ones, Settings, a calculator, trial-version games and Mobile Email.

There is also a link to the AppCenter to purchase and download new applications. Users can customize wallpaper and other aspects of the home screen, by going to the main menu and selecting settings.

The FX also comes loaded with a full range of AT&T applications, including AT&T Address Book and a music player. It also features an alarm, calendar, notes application, to-do list, phone and address book, and AT&T Navigator is available for $10 a month.

Users can multitask with the FX, by using voice and data functions simultaneously. To do so while using one application, simply click on the multitask key at the bottom of the handset. This will bring up a list of common applications and a link to the main menu and home screen. Select the application desired, or go to the main menu for the full list of applications.

Voice features on the FX include a hands-free speaker phone, conference calling and call forwarding.

The FX, with its 1240 mAh lithium-ion battery, is rated for up to three hours of talk time and data usage, and up to 250 hours of standby. This is less than the rating for many other slide-out QWERTY keyboard and touch screen phones currently available. For example, the Motorola Droid is rated for 6.4 hours of talk time and 11.3 hours of standby, while the same manufacturer’s Droid 2 is rated for 9.6 hours of talk time and 13.1 hours of standby.

SCREEM:

The FX has solid screen technology — less than what is currently available on top of the line phones, but still very respectable. Colors on the large 3.0-inch touch screen are bright, and the TFT, or Thin Film Transistor, LCD screen produces sharper, more brilliant images. Still, the resolution is short of cutting edge and does not equal Apple’s claim for its new iPhone 4G that users cannot distinguish individual pixels.

The touch screen is responsive but not lightening speed. Some users have reported the screen freezes, but that did not happen to this reviewer.
The FX’ 262,000 colors mean it’s less brilliant than many competitors with 16.7 million colors, but the Sharp handset has a lot of company in its range. Similarly, many slide-out QWERTY keyboard and touch screen combination phones have screen resolutions of 240 by 320 pixels, so the FX’ resolution of 400 by 240 pixels is slightly higher. On the upper end of the resolution spectrum, Motorola’s Droid and Droid 2 have screens with 480 by 854 pixels.

INTERNET:

With the FX, users can surf the Internet with a HTML browser, att.net. It is simple to access by going to the main menu and selecting Mobile Web.

Users can choose to browse in full HTML, or select a “local” tab on att.net to find nearby services and events, or “popular” to go to their favorite news, social networking and other websites.

Released for T-Mobile, the Motorola Charm is a compact Android device with a 2.8-inch touch screen display and intuitive ‘backtrack’ navigation pad — located directly behind the home screen — to have an unobstructed view of the Web, texts, emails and news feeds. The Charm runs Android 2.1 software and an enhanced version of MotoBlur, which syncs contacts, posts, messages, photos and more and grabs information from sources such as Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and Gmail. Additional features include a 3.0-megapixel camera with Kodak technology for brighter pictures, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity and high-speed HSDPA Internet.

MEAN FEATURES:

If you’ve seen the commercials, you know the Kin line of phones is all about social networking. The Kin One allows users to view Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and other social networking accounts in one screen, with updates from you and your friends visible in a list format.

There’s also a screen for favorites and a screen that holds all the traditional information on a phone, such as messages, pictures, contacts, music, email and Internet.

The Kin One has a unique shape, just about as wide as it is long, and has an interesting color scheme — black, white and silver with lime green detailing on the QWERTY keypad.

It’s not for everyone, including people that want a big screen for watching movies and clips, or people that want to keep their phone services basic and limited to chatting and texting. But it does hold appeal for the social butterfly on the go that’s looking for something smaller than a Blackberry or easier to type with than a touch screen keypad.

DESIGN:

The Kin One doesn’t look like many other phones on the market. First off, it has an almost square screen. It’s a slider but leaves sizable slivers of the bottom piece of the phone exposed when it’s closed. It’s so small it’s the size of an adult’s palm. And while mostly black, it quickly goes from incognito to flashy as soon as the QWERTY keypad is exposed with its white and lime green numbers and letters.

The keypad has bubble-shaped keys that are large enough and far enough apart to make typing easy. Getting a hang of selecting numbers takes a bit of time, since they’re printed on the top row of letters instead of over a block of 10 letters clumped on the left side of the keyboard, as is the case with most phones that don’t have separate keys for numbers and letters.

The screen has a back button below it on the phone’s face an earpiece above it. The main display shows social networking updates, while a panel to the right show favorites and a panel on the left connects the user to contacts, search, messages, phone options, email, a Web browser, music and other media, the phone’s camera, settings, alarm, and news feed.

The lens and flash for the phone’s 5.0-megapixel camera are located on the back of the phone, the battery latch is at the bottom of the phone, a USB port is on the left side of the phone, and a headset jack is on the top of the phone.

Volume keys are on the top left side of the phone and keys for turning the phone on or off and taking a picture are on the bottom right side of the phone. The Kin One weighs nearly four ounces.

Anyone who buys this phone has to want something different. Measuring an oddly-shaped 3.25-inches long, 2.5-inches wide and 0.75-inch thick, this isn’t a phone with the typical measurements. For some, a bigger screen may be preferable, but the keypad’s size isn’t likely to receive complaints.

The phone isn’t that much wider than many smartphones, but it is shorter. Those who prefer the status quo may find it a leap to pick up this phone. But for those that don’t mind, or even welcome, this compact design, the Kin One is worth checking out.

Out of the box the Microsoft Kin One comes with a battery, a USB power adapter, a micro-USB cable, a stereo headset, a quick start guide, a warranty guide and a product safety guide.

BASIC FEARURES:

The Kin One is all about social networking via the Kin Loop system. The main screen is dedicated to all the news, Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace updates and uploads a person could spend hours poring over, available in real-time feed.

Unlike the Palm Pre Plus and Palm Pixi Plus and the Motorola Devour, the Kin One doesn’t just give you a single update on the main screen at a time — it has a “more” option at the bottom of a long list of updates, so you’ll never miss a thing.

The Kin Spot is a handy feature that makes sharing more than a quick update with friends simple. Users can drag the names of contacts they wish to share information with into the spot, a dot on the bottom of the screen, and also drag to the spot whatever photos, videos, Web sites, search results or news feed items they wish to share.

The information will collapse into the dot until the user taps the spot to open it. Then the item will appear, ready for uploading to whichever social networking site you desire or go out via email or multimedia message. It’s a simple way to share without visiting the actual social networking site and makes the process easy to see without squinting through a Web page.

Kin Studio, like the Microsoft’s “My Phone” service for Windows Mobile, backs up messages, contacts, photos, favorites, songs, and other items stored on the phone in an account located at Kin.com. Once the account is set up at Kin.com, all information on the phone is automatically backed-up in the account. As anyone who’s ever lost a phone can attest, this is definitely a bonus.

It has a 5.0-megapixel camera/camcorder, Zune-based music, videos and radio features, Internet access, and alarm clock, and text, multimedia and email message options. It doesn’t, however, have the features many phone owners take for granted, like a tip calculator, regular calculator, or calendar options.

The Kin One is great for staying in touch. Just don’t count on it for much else.

INTERNET:

An HTML browser offers Kin One users access to the Web. That means sites load looking the same way they look on a computer. Users can access the Web on Verizon’s 3G network or opt for a Wi-Fi connection, so getting stuck without a signal is going to be a rarity in most areas.

Sites load quickly on the handset and social networking messages update regularly on the main screen. Emails also arrive in real-time.

The Kin One has an easy-to-use browser, fast connection and more than one way to get on the Web.

Motorola’s original Droid debuted on Verizon last fall, aiming to knock the iPhone off its pedestal in the smartphone world. But while it didn’t quite accomplish that feat, it did become an instant hit, selling over 250,000 units in the first week of its launch.

Seven months later, Motorola’s newest Droid, the X, hopes to achieve even greater successes while taking on greater competition from the Droid Incredible and Evo 4G from HTC and the iPhone 4 from Apple.

The Droid X has several improvements over the Droid, like a better camera, a larger touch screen display and more storage space. It has speedy Internet speeds, connects to plenty of devices, and offers integrated contact information, messaging and social networking.

The phone is a bit bulky, though, and it has weak audio. There’s also only one instant messenger option and the battery drains fairly quickly.

But the Droid X has a lot of features and plenty to offer. Whether people will buy it or not depends on how much continuous use time they want, whether they’re comfortable with a touch screen and how much they’re interested in the bells and whistles.

DESIGN:

The Droid X is huge, there’s no other word for it. The X is about 10 percent bigger than the original Droid, but also 10 percent lighter. That’s because Motorola slimmed down the X to a mere 0.4 inches from 0.55 inches — that’s a remarkable 35 percent. By comparison, the Evo, another behemoth, is about the same size, while the iPhone 4 is 30 percent smaller.

Why such a big phone? Well, larger devices have more real estate to add larger displays. And the Droid X’s 4.3-inch touch screen is one of the largest on the market. The only devices with similar-sized screens are on Evo and HD2 devices from HTC, both of which are slightly smaller in size as well.

Regardless, the Droid X’s touch screen display makes watching videos and reading emails and texts easy on the eyes, while the all-black exterior and reflective screen keep the phone looking professional.

Below the screen are four buttons for the menu, home, back and search.

Turned around, the back of the device reveals an 8.0-megapixel camera lens and flash.

On the left side, there are ports for micro-USB and HDMI features, while the right has volume keys, a camera key and a 3.5-millimeter headset jack. Power and lock keys are located atop the phone.

The Droid X is bigger than some people may like. It certainly won’t fit in a jeans pocket comfortably and calls for two hands instead of one to operate the device most of the time. But it has a gargantuan touch screen. Fortunately, the Droid X isn’t too heavy. It’s much lighter than the Evo and Droid, and easy to navigate through screens with the keys available.

If size is a major concern, then the Droid X, while very thin and not too hefty, might be too tall and wide for you. But if you can handle the extra size, you’ll be rewarded with a larger screen.

Out of the box, the Motorola Droid X comes with a standard battery, a wall/USB charger, a built-in 16-gigabyte microSD memory card, a product safety and warranty brochure and a product safety and quick reference guide.

SCREEN:

The Droid X, like the HTC’s HD2 and Evo, has a 4.3-inch screen. That dwarfs the iPhone 4′s 3.5-inch screen and any screen offered by BlackBerry. The screen is responsive without being too overly-sensitive and there’s more space between the virtual keys, so typing is easier than on the Droid and Droid Eris.

By simple virtue of the larger screen, the Droid’s on-screen keyboard is bigger than on the iPhone 4. But its 854 by 480 pixel resolution isn’t as high as the iPhone 4′s whopping 960 by 640 pixels.

Still, the Droid X is colorful and sharp. Screens are easy to navigate through and the menu is comprehensive and makes it easy to find what’s needed. There’s seven panels to flip through, with screens addressing media, contacts, applications, weather, calendar items and social networking.

Although it hasn’t been reported as a widespread problem yet, some Droid X users have had issues with their screen flickering and showing vertical bands of light.

The big screen makes it easier to see videos and texts, and the extra space between keys improves the typing experience on a touch screen display. Its panel and menu system is easy to use and the resolution, although not the best available on the market, is high-quality.

It may be more convenient to carry a smaller phone, but having a big screen has become more important as entertainment options widen. Although the iPhone 4 has higher-resolution display, the Droid X is just as easy on the eyes.
