samsung ZX10

Pros Small & lightweight Very nice keypad and sturdy design Impressive set of features Cons Battery life could be better Output volume is just average -- may not be enough in noisy places Tends to overheat a bit too much Description:- Technology support: GSM 1.3-megapixel camera with some settings Weighs 3.7 ounces and measures 3.46 x 1.89 x 1.02 inches Samsung ZX10 Review :- TransFlash memory card extension, rotating 1.3 megapixel camera, UMTS with Cingular video, all in a small form factor with a functional keypad. It even sports 50MB of internal memory. Great! But there were drawbacks: volume, either earset or speakerphone, is just average. Listening to Cingular Video was OK in not-too-noisy places . And even though the ZX10 is feature-rich, some features are surprisingly lacking: The external display is monochrome, yes, on a 1.3-megapixel camera phone that should let you have colourful picture caller ID! And there is no Bluetooth.

LG F7200

Pros Ultra-light Good ergonomics Cons Earpiece volume is too weak, even at maximumCalling parties complain about the speakerphone Battery life could be better Description: Technology support: GSMPTT (Push to Talk) enabled Built-in speakerphone LG F7200 Review:- F7200, an eye-catching slider phone by LG. It is ultra lightweight, looks good, has great ergonomics, menus are numbered and relatively easy, they even added a rubber stub to make opening the slide-out keypad easier with just one hand and it works great! But the fundamentals, the things that make a cell phone a cell phone, are disappointing. Battery life always feels unsufficient, the earpiece's sound is not loud enough and though the speakerphone's output volume is ok, people on the other end always complained that the sound was screaming and uncomfortable. This surprises me as LG made some good speakerphones before, such as the one in the LG VX9800. Another smaller annoyance was that the slide mechanism was too easy. Well, if you have above average hearing, do not talk too much and won't use a speakerphone, then perhaps you'd love the F7200.

LG VX9800

Pros Above average battery life Excellent design and keypad Good speakerphone Cons Keys are a bit easy to self-press when in your pocket Description: Technology support: CDMA Flip cover unfolds to a full QWERTY keyboard equipped with stereo speakers for Verizon's VCAST service LG VX9800 Review:- The LG VX9800 is most of what you've been dreaming for. Great keypad unfolding to a great keyboard. Good stereo speakerphone, great display, good pictures. A small trick: the owner's manual doesn't explain how to activate the speakerphone: it is done by opening the flip cover. The small switch that lets you go from macro mode to general photography easily moves by itself when the LG VX9800 stands in your pocket. You will take many a bluried photo if you don't double check before each photo session. Similarly, the key lock feature is almost mandatory since the way this phone was built makes it particularly prone to erratic key pressing while in your pocket. That said, the LG VX9800 is a great phone.

LG VX8000

Pros Good battery life Excellent design and keypad Good display Cons No analog roaming, can be a problem on Verizon's network Beeps are annoying and some are too loud Description: Technology support: CDMAFlip phone with megapixel camera Lightweight at 3.88 ounces and 3.76 long Guide Review :- The LG VX8000 is a digital-only phone on the Verizon network, which already poses a problem. In some remote areas, you just won't get a signal. But that's not an issue if you stick around the major cities. It has an excellent display with clear numbered menus and a good speakerphone. The keypad is one of the best I've used so far: crisp, big, solid keys make dialing almost a tactile pleasure -- ok, I'm exaggerating, just a bit. In other words, the LG VX8000 is a good functional cell phone.But it has surprising small annoyances. For example, the low battery alarm is low is so loud I almost had a heart attack every time it beeped. Also, the side keys are surprisingly sensitive and, quite often, just by having the VX8000 in my pocket and moving around, it would press these buttons and beep. You need to find a good way to place it inside your pocket. But, hey, if you can live with these details, the LG VX8000 will certainly do its job well in a reliable way.

Nokia 7280

Excellent for fashionable people who don't care so much about functionality but place style above everything. Walking out of a Limo with that phone in hands is sure to turn heads but just imagine the same jewel with a better software. Technology support: GSM Built-in VGA camera No keypad, instead, everything is done using a rotary jog dial and a select button. Long showcased as a concept phone by Nokia, the 7280 finally made it to North-America around spring 2005, sold in Canada at Holt Renfrew and online or in some small retail stores in the U.S. The 7280 doesn't have a keypad. Instead, a jog dial lets you browse and select characters and numbers, a lengthy process. But with Bluetooth and infrared, the concept is to manage your contacts from your PC. Beautiful, the 7280 focuses on style to the expense of functionality. Why not? But it needed a better software.For example, why not include a "dictate-a-number" feature, seen in other phones, that lets you speak every number -- would have been so well suited for the 7280. Also, there is no way to assign a soft keys to "Dial" so I needed to press menu and select dial for every new number. And go figure how to dial 1-800-go-fedex with no keys with letters on them? Pressing keys in an automated response service is also a hassle. There is a significant loss in efficiency.However, for browsing, the jog dial is amazing. The see-through mirror/display combo is neat and the camera, which opens by pulling on each end of the handset is a beauty. The 7280 has to be sent back to Nokia for a battery change, which is not very convenient, for such an expensive phone. That said, the Nokia 7280 is still "useable": it lets you make and receive calls and if dialing takes time, keep in mind that if you are hip enough to need the 7280, you probably receive more calls than you dial.

Nokia 6670

The first feature that impress about the Nokia 6670 (currently only offered in Canada) was its speakerphone. Wow! Probably the best speakerphone we'e tried so far that means a lot. The keypad, though, may annoy some and not others.It is a bit bulkier than its 4.16 ounces but that wasn't a big issue. Free personalization of ringtones and graphics and good battery life add up to a good set of features.
Description:
Technology support: GSM, EDGE
Megapixel built-in camera
Weighs 4.16 ounces and measures 4.28" x 2.09" x 0.82"

Pros

Good battery life, above average
Awesome speakerphone performance
Above average megapixel camera for a camera phone

Cons

Keypad may be too small for some users
Just slightly bulkier than average but we're getting picky
