Samsung SCH-i760


When it comes to smartphones, Samsung SCH-i760 a lot going for him. Since early as CES in 2007, the SCH-i760 has attracted much attention. Part of the reason for this is that the smartphone incorporates some of the most attractive found with other units.

At first glance, Samsung SCH-i760 seems much like other phones. There is a block of standard digital keys with a d-garniture. What is a little different is that the block of keys glide horizontally, allowing access to a QWERTY-end complete.

After the G51, Panasonic continues its momentum in miniature phones with the release on the market french the X300.
At first glance, it is discovered that its shape gives it a look of mini-camescope when the flip side of the screen is opened. Moreover, its silver shell is not unlike the color of the majority of digital cameras.

Despite its 65536 colors, the screen suffers from its small size. However, the Panasonic x300 is easy to use thanks to a tree menu accessible via a drop-down menu in 3D.


Again, because of its size, the keyboard is too small with keys too close making it the numbering and writing SMS. Fortunately, Panasonic has thought of putting keys rigid. However, we quickly realized that its size and design, had a real potential of seduction with the female gente.

Its sound quality is good, although the volume of sound could have been improved. The Panasonic x300 provides extra handsfree functions.

HTC Advantage X7500


This is undoubtedly the largest mobile devices that we have been able to test! The Advantage X7500 from HTC boasts a superb touch screen 5 inches, which is usually found on GPS autonomous high-end. Obviously, this has resulted in excess of standard dimensions: 13.35 x 9.8 x 1.6 cm with a weight of almost 300 grams. A monster so that you do not keep it easily in a pocket. Whether you do not wear the ear more elsewhere, as much for reasons of overweight than aesthetics. The contours of the screen are sober, with the presence of a small joypad, keys and Windows Ok barely visible, and a button named E (Internet Explorer) and topped with an icon corresponding to the technology VueFLO . We will return later. Around the owner would not be complete if we failed to mention the photo sensor on the front for video calls and the one on the back, accompanied by a flash diode for the shooting. On the right are the button to take pictures, housing stylus, the button access to functions and the wireless button ignition. On the left side there is a knob sound, a headphone jack 3.5 mm, a mini port for connection to PC and the battery charge. Not to mention a connector assigned to specific video VGA connection (to a monitor or video projector). Two speakers provide stereo sound quality passable. A trapdoor in the front reveals the battery, the location for a SIM card (you must remove the battery to be inserted), and for a miniSD memory card. Right next appear contactors used to establish liaison with the removable keyboard.

In fact, this device comes with a flat keyboard for easy data entry. But it distinguishes itself from all its competitors: it is magnetic and just automatically set at the base of the Advantage X7500. The strength of the magnet is enough for the two do not move, even under the shaking of a train or a plane. A small concern: it is appropriate to adopt the precautionary principle and not on the keyboard approach a bank card or an object sensitive to magnetic fields. The keypad keys are flat and widely spaced. They provide a quick strike but do no witnesses seizure. Neither click sound or feeling the draft. To control the strike, it was thus imperative to look at the screen. The keyboard layout is francisée (azerty), but the accents are not as immediately accessible on a PC keyboard. It takes a little manipulation: tap on the vowel, and then on the blue button (function), then press the spacebar to get the right accent. This keyboard end (less than 4 mm) can protect the screen, then he has just fully recovered. A transparent strip can see the bottom of the screen of the Advantage, which automatically detects and displays handling simple data such as the time or the battery charge. Note that a leather cover is provided. In quality, it has been specially designed to accommodate the Advantage X7500 and its keyboard, with holes for the cable connections, the camera ... But it weighs then 460 grams!

The processor selected by HTC is a PXA270 Intel clocked at 624 MHz, supported by 128 MB of RAM and 256 MB of ROM. To this amazing ability addition to 8 GB of a hard disk format MicroDrive. These impressive features are needed to drive the display with a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels (VGA), in addition to 65000 colors. HTC also added an ATI graphics processor designed to accelerate the display and control functions photograph. Because the sensor to the rear of the aircraft reaches a resolution of 3 megapixels and earns an autofocus. The quality is better than on previous models HTC, but it is still lower than that of smartphones from Sony Ericsson or Nokia, especially in a dark environment, and despite the presence of a powerful flash diode. The camera can make videos small and unpretentious. The sensor at the front of the camera is used primarily for video calls to 3G. There is also a GPS receiver built into the hull of the aircraft, type SiRF III. It is sensitive enough to work properly even behind glass athermic. It would also subject the AGPS downloading regular (every other day) in a calendar. Another tool, very interesting, makes its appearance, called VueFLO by HTC. It is a gyroscope that simulates the joypad by movements of the camera: on a web page large, you move by tilting the Advantage X7500. The manipulation works quite well, but we do not understand why it is reserved exclusively for Internet Explorer browsers, and Opera. And again, one or the other!

The Advantage X7500 from HTC combines the tools of wireless connection. One absent: the infrared. But this technology is aging advantageously replaced by Bluetooth 2.0, which is compatible with stereo music, Wi-Fi 802,111 b and g, a module quadband GSM and GPRS Edge, compatible with the 3G and HSDPA. What be connected everywhere, or almost! Obviously, there is no question of calling directly with the unit (except in handsfree mode), the use of pedestrian stereo kit (included) or a Bluetooth headset is essential. To control everything, HTC has trusted once again to Microsoft and its operating system Windows Mobile 5 AKU 2, that is ready to receive emails Push. HTC has added some very useful applications. Such is the case with GPRSMonitor SPB, perfect for monitoring your data, JetCet Print for making prints directly from the mobile device, the Adobe Reader to read your PDF documents, the Opera browser 8 to complete Internet Explorer, for Zip your compressed archives, and Sprite Backup for making backups. Not to mention the most important perhaps: Navigator 6, the browser software from TomTom, came with the map of a region. France and Europe are available for a few dozen euros. What about autonomy? With all these features and the display of 5 inches, it was feared the worst. But Advantage X7500 is capable of operating at full capacity for more than 3 hours in normal use for more than 8 hours.

HTC, obviously, is testing different technologies on its ranges of appliances. At the Advantage X7500, the concepts of large screen, keyboard and removable magnetic and gyro, which are being tested clients. Overall, this device is successful, somewhat successful: it gives pride of service to read your mail, reply, see Office documents, knows transform itself into autonomous GPS, all enjoying the superb screen size. We regret, however, that the characteristics give us a bit about our hunger. The screen, with its size, would have benefited from a better resolution. The camera with 3 megapixels deserved a more effective. The function VueFLO could be adapted to all applications. Rest the prices set at over 1000 euro is a blow bludgeon. There are laptops for the same amount, or less. Unfortunately, the technology showcase of HTC is beyond the reach of most budgets.

The Siemens SK65, a mobile with a unique design

The SK65 is a mobile with advanced messaging system, ideal for professional use daily. It is also the first mobile phone to offer complete management of professional emails through technology BlackBerry Built. The Siemens SK65 comes with the BlackBerry e-mail applications, BlackBerry Calendar and BlackBerry Browser, which can benefit from advanced connectivity for business-critical applications through technology RIM BlackBerry Built. Of course, it is tri-band and offers Bluetooth technology.

The SK65 incorporates a swivel keyboard "x2type." The advantage is that it allows you to write messages or emails. The keyboard is easily retractable allows a simple input. With the BlackBerry, it is possible to access mode "push" email, calendar and other information on your PC. For users more oriented "multitasking", the function Push between mobile (PoC) allows you to speak to a group of friends or colleagues at once, as if you were using a walkie-talkie. In a touch of a button, change an appointment at the last minute or make a quick point about the situation becomes child's play.

LG P7200 : A true 3 in 1


Hinge swivel, MP3 player with external command, camera 2 megapixels, Bluetooth and superb pace ... You will have understood this latest addition to the LG brand has decidedly everything going for them! We quickly forget the lack of 3G, regrettable on such a high-end device for one simple reason: the P7200 is a true mobile to do everything!

At the opening of the unit, one thing strikes: likeness with the V3 from Motorola. With a rectangular shell and a keyboard all-aluminum dish, it is certain that LG was strongly inspired by its American counterpart. Nevertheless, the P7200 is a magnificent model combining large spaces with black matte silver fine lines. Front, valve closed, the external command of the feature MP3 and the presence of a screen Oled of 65000 colors, we would almost think that the P7200 is not a phone but as a MP3 player! The Return, and the mere presence of the sensor silver 2 megapixels, this model equates to a real camera. Fortunately at the opening, it finally realizes that it is also a mobile phone.

Just like V3 Motorola, the P7200 is ultra flat let it takes only 17 mm in thickness. The internal screen is effective: 262144 colors. The keys are also shortened rather Successful. From silver colors, they combine well to the form and design of the mobile phone. As such, the two side buttons are multifunctional: variation of sound and navigation menus in photo mode. The flat keyboard is divided into two parts: the first level of full shortened will avoid a lengthy navigation within the various menus. The lower portion meanwhile, lacquered aluminum is also quite classic. It is a shame here, the difficulty in the pressure of the keys, since the keyboard effect is extremely flat: certainly too flat. It would probably have appreciated a clearer delineation between the main keyboard.

Side music, the P7200 is impeccable. First, for compatibility with multiple formats: MP3, WMA, AAC etc. Whatever adopted compression, the sound quality is remarkable. Then, by the presence of an internal memory of 64 megabytes, enough to store the equivalent of a full album, it is of course possible to increase with the addition of Micro SD cards. The advantage of this model is the presence of three external keys which allow shortened, valve closed, ordering functionality MP3. The sound quality is very good, as well, with or without a helmet, since the integrated speakers here provide a sound relatively clear. Simplicity is the order of the day on this model since connected to your PC via USB, a simple copy / paste sufficient to transfer your music files.

And that's not all because the P7200 is also a real and very good camera. Equipped with both a collector of 2 million pixels, a flash and an autofocus, this model can generate very good photos. Indeed, one of the advantages of this P7200 lies in the ease of flipping téléphone-MP3-Photo. Here, suffice it to pivot hinge for the screen into a viewfinder internal classic present on the majority of digital cameras. It deplores here still waiting time for taking pictures here it will actually wait one to two seconds after pressing the button so that the plate is made. A key long will give you access to different settings photos found on the camera: Effects, Flash, brightness, size, Self and others ...

Finally, LG sign here a true multifunction mobile phone. 3 in 1, the P7200 is both beautiful and powerful! However, the lack of compatibility 3G and autonomy still be improved this mobile are slightly lower rating of this device. The latter, however, will entice customers in search of a mobile phone very good looks and above all capable of doing everything!

Qtek s200


The Qtek S200 is a complete smartphone with the best features present in a shortened format. In addition, this hybrid PDA / phone offers opportunities for expanded connectivity: Edge, Quad, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth ...

Successor of Qtek S100, including smartphone is equipped with many additional features to come fill in the gaps of his elder brother.

The S200 offers a processor Texas Instruments OMAP850 clocked at 195 MHz. He earned a wireless connectivity for Wi-Fi 802.11g (802.11b), infrared and Bluetooth, plus 128 MB of flash memory and 64 MB ROM RAM. Its compatibility with the EDGE network, it allows access at speeds data transfer up to three times those of GPRS.

This smartphone communicating terminal is the first mobile operator to be provided with the service of Microsoft Direct Push through a mail server MS Exchange 2003 SP2. It integrates the update "Messaging and Security Feature Pack", also known as AKU 2.0, allowing for support of Push Mail and Bluetooth stereo headphones. It runs on Windows Mobile 5.0 with all standard tools: Mobile Word, Excel Mobile, PowerPoint Mobile, Internet Explorer. An oversight anyway with regard to MSN Messenger, we had to download the application ...

Its touchscreen TFT 65,536 color (320x240 pixels) supports portrait or landscape mode. The stylus is housed in a compartment in the upper right corner of the enclosure. It is used to make choices on the screen. At the bottom of it, we find a keyboard or an integrated software tool for writing recognition.

The S200 incorporates all the features of the M3000 without a retractable keyboard, but with extra cameras to 2 megapixels instead of 1.3 and an SD slot. This communicating PDA can also record video with a resolution of 176x144 pixels. But do not count on him for videos because any successful movement causes blurs.

To our surprise, the headphone jack is a 3.5 mm instead of the standard format that is 2.5 mm. Another criticism, the quality in noisy environment is poor. For a PDA, its autonomy is correct. Caution should know that if you make extensive use of the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, you may need to recharge the battery daily.

Finally, the S200 is a PDA indispensable for the tech snags and also for professionals who want access to high speed internet. This smartphone Edge can be an interesting alternative for those who do not wish to invest in a model 3G more expensive.

The Internet Tablet Nokia N800

Headress already to speak a little of which it has seemed us the terminal Nokia N800 who there are been proving in Xataka during days. Before, if you want, him you can throw a look in the videos that we recorded for mostrate how it is and some of its main functions.

We remembered to you what gadget is: it is not a moving body but a device to sail by Internet via WiFi and that counts on reproduction functions multimedia and videoconferencia thanks to its camera integrated Web.

If right now it had to define it in a pair of words, it would describe like typical gadget whim, of which you know that you do not need but that when you animate yourself to buy it him extractions all the benefit of the world. One becomes your companion, in spite of its limitations, that have them.

That that story is exactly what it passed me to my to the few hours to have it in my hands: I removed it from the box, that bring cover, shipper, cable of data, MicroSD card of 128 MB with adapter for grooves SD and additional leader, and after a first contact I parked it until the following day. During that time I tried to be convinced that it needed it, of which it was a device that by the price that it has, 400 euros, would be a good purchase.

When on the following day I began to put in task with him, and I did not let myself take by the theory, I began to feel that one would not badly come anything to me from them. With him, it was fallen down in the sofa and it could enjoy navigation by complete pages Web comfortably, via WiFi, without euro of more and with open the Gmail mail will cost to me at any moment. The favorite management of very good era, and the client of the integrated news RSS worked of correct form. In addition, the flash worked perfect, and the videos of Youtube brightened up the moment. The management of Wifi networks is in addition very transparent and effective, as well as the brightness or controls audio of screen.

There it is where the potential of this gadget resides, in its panoramic display of hi-res of 4,1 inches (800×480 pixels), inlaid in a thin, single body 13 mm of slight thickness and (206 grams), with integrated tablecloth support and to be able to reproduce archives multimedia, that was in the end, one of the functionalities that used more. The audio one behaved well, but it is with the complete screen video as I could really enjoy. The admitted formats multimedia are not bad, among them, AAC, AMR, MP2, MP3, RA, WAV, WMA, BMP, GIF, ICO, JPEG, png, tiff, SVG-tiny, 3GP, AVI, H.263, MPEG-1, MPEG-4 and RealVideo. With archives pdf bucket of excellent way, being tremendously comfortable and addictive and simple to visualize this type of archives in its screen without fear to lose the Vista in the attempt.

What one lay down in lack, but surely no longer we would be speaking of a thin terminal and light, manageable after all, it is the integrated hard disk, to the Archos style. The N800 counts just by 128 MB of internal memory, and is necessary to make use of cards microSD to obtain that necessary extra space. That yes, counts on two grooves for cards of formats SD, MicroSD, MiniSD, MMC and RS-MMC.

As far as the integrated loudspeakers, considering that the content visualization is going to be personal, he is acceptable.

Speaking of the subject of keyboards, now that he is so fashionable the one of the sliding ones under the moving body, the one that this Integra device in the screen is enough good, and is a perfect complement for the recognition of writing in its touch screen, that is precise but it was not to me comfortable.

In summary we can say that we are speaking of gadget to which they are possible to be removing utilities to him as is used more and more, of the one than we have liked their screen, S.O, that sometimes remained a little thinking, its functions multimedia but in which we missed than it is by itself a moving body and power of this form to obtain total connectivity when there is no WiFi (abroad, if the open networks do not proliferate does not have more utility than like reproductive multimedia or viewfinder of archives), that improves its interaction with the computer and a battery with greater autonomy.


Being the CES, he is inevitable to be speaking of some devices preSenates in the fair. That Nokia N800 Internet Tablet is put on sale (also in Spain by 400 euros) it comes to indicate that the brilliant experiment of Nokia 770 has been a success: a portable device based Linux with Wi-Fi, VoIP and reproduction multimedia that was anticipated to the UMPC. Brilliant that the line opened by Nokia based on an open philosophy has given to results the sufficiently satisfactory thing them like insisting on her: Nokia N800 Internet Tablet is the same but with better benefits, more memory (256 megas of Flash ram by 128 of SDRAM) and more powerful processor, in addition to card support SD and one camera VGA.



In the less positive side to indicate the agreement so that Skype is in Nokia 800. It is not that it seems to me bad of in case (that everyone makes versions of its software where wants), but I hope that it is not an one step back in the policy of Nokia by the interoperability in the VoIP (Nokia N80).

Since I am proving the HTC Tytn, I have not been able to avoid to make a comparison fast. In my opinion, with the lowered constant of the connections 3G, at the time of choosing a movable device servant would not bet by whom it only had Wi-Fi. Certain that a telephone 3G and taking advantage of bluetooth Nokia N800 Internet Tablet could be sailed, but no longer he is independent. In addition we have the sliding keyboard of the Tytn, whereas the one of the Nokia N800 is of which they appear in screen to key in with the leader.

In any case I continue hoping something really powerful in the movable devices to connect itself. The UMPC are very expensive, the VistaGami not yet have arrived (and I do not believe that they are able to be cheap), these tablet of Nokia are enough good (but by its size and price one tends to compare them with pda that also is telephones) and to the PDA type HTC Tytn it seems to me that them lack usabilidad, general improvements in the interface.

Qtek 9100 The first pdaphone GPRS, Wi-Fi, Edge


The Qtek 9100 is a worthy successor to the S100, it has kept the best of its predecessor and correct its little imperfections. The integration of a keyboard and EDGE makes an excellent machine to surf the Internet and / or write mails in a mobile situation, so nice and fast.

Screen of 9100 is a traditional QVGA (320x240) adopting more than 65000 colors. The result is very pleasing to the eye. Indeed, like its predecessor, the S100, by bringing together small screen (2.8 inches) with a resolution QVGA display makes smooth, beautiful and very little pixelated.

Bluetooth side, no problem. The pairing with other pda or mobile phones of different platforms takes place without any difficulty. Regarding WiFi, use is as simple as on other Pocket PC and Pocket PC Phone Edition, the major innovation is that it has a dual class 802.11b and 802.11g, which offers him a hand higher throughput and on the other hand the possibility of capturing many more WiFi networks than other PDA equipped only 802.11b.

In addition, the 9100 with lEdge, it becomes the ideal companion to surf the Internet at all times and with a debit rather honorable. Indeed, I could test the videos available on the portal operator Orange. We must admit that in full-screen is quite pleasant.

A good place to plug the "lock" that prevents phone is a surprise if we put the device in your pocket.

The Qtek 9100 has a removable battery to a Lithium of 1250 mAh capacity.

In normal use (several calls per day, a few sms / mms and some GPRS) Qtek 9100 arrives at 2 days of autonomy which is across quite correct.

Nokia N93i already has announcement


And finally the Nokia N93i was presented/displayed, that already had been advanced and photographed, a evolution of the original N93 with enough new features to consider. and a memory card of 1GB including which it is not for despising.

The main change is the one of the body, thin and much more compact, that now has a really brilliant completion where that cleared up cover is distinguished and that is totally different from the previous model. In addition display raises of the 262,000 colors a TFT LCD of 16 million colors with 240×320 pixels in 2,4 inches… that in an equipment thought for photos and video are a VERY good change.

In the equipment it comes a soft from edition of photos and a CD with Adobe Elements 3 to pdoer to publish in your PC; it has exit A/V to be able to see what film directly in any TV, which with its capacity to film to 30 pictures per second (although they say that it is quality DVD I do not know if it is for as much) is something very good.

In addition it continues maintaining the lenses of Carls Zeiss, 3.2mpx of the camera of photos, autofocus, an optical zoom lens of 3x and a system of stabilization of image wants to be the best double bed-phone of the world?

Another newness is that the i of the model indicates that is part of the “N Series Internet Edition” and therefore 3G takes advantage of its connectivity and WIFI to include applications with direct connectivity to services Web like VOX, the platform of blogs of 6A, and a Flickr Uploader to be able to raise photos with click… single it would need a direct access youTube or Vpod.

The 3G signed Toshiba TS705



Indeed with the TS705, Toshiba made a denominator. With its rotating camera during a videoconference call, simply switch to the goal itself so that the corresponding sees you. Know that this clever system is also convenient for self-portraits.

Placed on the back of mobile sensor provides images with a resolution of 1.3 megapixels with a zoom 8x. Three resolutions are available (1280 x 960, 640 x 480, 320 x 240 pixels). By contrast, flicker, white balance and self-timer settings are the only proposed. In addition, a flash would have been well received on this model. For videos, remember that they are limited to 10 seconds.

At its measurements, the model 3G displays a minimum. Like his elder brother, the TS608, this classic piece is distinguished by its sophistication and its design rather elegant. And with his black dress encrusted tiny sequins, her hull has a neat appearance. Too bad his screen 262000 colors is not greater.

Another point: the TS705 supports synchronization with a PC, which can be made via a Bluetooth connection or USB. It is also distinguished by its modem and a system of integrated push e-mail. Multimedia side, it has an audio and video player. A speakerphone is also placed at the back of the handset with a volume correct hands.

If you need more space in addition to its 24 MB internal memory can be supplemented by a MicroSD card not included with the phone; This one fits easily on the side of the camera. Note, however, that support for the MicroSD card is restricted to a maximum capacity of 512 MB

In conclusion, the TS705 lacks a bit of autonomy but he enjoys a good rapport equipment for money.

Apple iPod Nano

The new nano is not stocky or poorly proportioned. It is just beautiful. FT. Sleek. Undeniably attractive. Especially that the new colors in which it is declining are very seyantes. The color of the red version takes so light that looks like velvet, deep and shimmery. And then, once in hand, its small size does absolutely no embarrassment. Stronger, flawless ergonomics of the control knob is needed immediately. Even better, it is supported by an amazing visual comfort. Ah, this screen! First, as surprising as it may seem, it is larger than the previous generation of nano: 5.08 cm diagonal against 3.81 cm. Then he offers a definition of a highly accurate (320x240 pixels). And finally, it remains legible even outdoors, thanks to a brightness and contrast properly adjusted. A happiness for the eyes that will grow to the discovery of the new interface.

Because the "scenery" continues on the inside. A new user interface attend. Still legible, it now puts forward the video with two goals. The first is the most obvious: the map. The interface is more lively and dynamic. The second goal is more interesting and consists of a small revolution in navigation. It is now possible to use Cover Flow to move through the contents of his iPod, as is the case with iTunes since the introduction of version 7. But this is not a simple "transplant" because the adaptation of the system to the constraints of the iPod is simply perfect.

Apart from the helmet, always a bit disappointing, the new nano is a success from start to finish. Not only Apple renews genre, but it does with talent and relevance. After a few days of adoption, we wonder who will be able to resist, especially with new prices revised downwards.
