Nokia 8600 Review

Nokia 8600

Introducing the stainless steel phenomenon that is the Nokia 8600, this spectacular phone is amazing, it has a 2 mega pixel camera, the images of which are wonderfully displayed on the high resolution screen. This phone I’m sure you will agree is very attractive and desirable, however this sexy look comes at a cost, and that being weight, the steel makes this phone rather heavy, don’t get me wrong at 140g its still light but compared to other phones its rather weighty.

This nokia has a big memory of 128mbs which is internal this is quite big and more than makes up for there being no storage card slot. This is annoying but the me the internal memory is plenty enough to store the pictures and videos I have taken. There are many feature on this rather stylish quad band phone, such as mp3 ringtones and java games.

I found that this has one of the best browsers around for looking at the Internet, and goes at a fast speed. There is good connectivity featuring USB and bluetooth, its easy to share and swap videos and pictures, and not to forget the great FM radio for staying in touch with what is happening and keeping you entertained.

Nokia 5310 Review

Nokia 5310

Nokia phone have been getting lots more stylish lately and this phone is no expection, looks very cool and sophisticated. The Nokia 5310 is a groundbreaker in the nokia music phone range, having the usual great FM radio and a built in media player for playing your mp3 and videos, there are even buttons on the side of the screen for flicking between the tracks, and pausing them.

This phone features a solid 2 mega pixel camera, which is takes a good quality pictures, but not the best on the market, which you can easily sent via MMS or Email. With edge technology on this phone emails and the internet are even faster than the standard WAP on most mobiles.

This phone is extremely small being less than 10mm thick and weighing 71g, it combines a powerful interface with aa compact size, totally sucessfully. Even the batter life is good being 300 hours on standby mode.One feature i like was the ‘xpress-on covers’ which allow you to easily change the look of this phone.

The Nokia 5310 has only minor drawbacks like not being able to make video calls, which isn’t essential for most people, and having a less than perfect camera, but the camera it has does a good job and is adequate for most peoples needs. This phone unless lots of nokias will work in America as its Triband as opposed to the usual Dual Band models.

This phone in my opinion is one of the best avaliable for the money, with many applications avaliable to download and cheap covers to liven up you mobile.

Nokia 2630 Review

Saturday, March 22nd, 2008

Nokia 2630

Firstly I would like to say I know this isn’t the most cutting edge technology on the phone market today, however the nokia 2630 is very affordable while still having many of the features of these phones of god like status. The camera is quite good quality and very reliable at taking a clear quality picture and recording video.

If you and considering buying this phone then I would say you should just go for it, especially as its price is cheap at the moment. The phone is very light and easy to place in your pocket and not worry about an unsightly bulge, being less than 10 mm thick and only 66g in weight.

This small size has some disadvantages aswell such as limiting the memory to a miserable 11mb, but you can backup your pictures and videos on your pc or mac with great USB connectivity or through bluetooth. A further kick in the teeth is there is not way to expand this memory through a card, and as a consequence nokia have left out there standard media player from the 2630, but the addition of the inbuilt FM stereo more than makes up for this in my books.

If you get bored with this phone they games are sure to grab your attention and the internet browser can easily find you the lastest new headlines, and go on some of the top sites around, now with even faster speed due to the inclusion of EDGE technology.

Nokia 6300 Review

Nokia 6300

Nokia, 6300 - I have been meaning to review this phone for quite some time, to tell you exactly what I like and don’t like about it, first of all its clearly not the best phone in the world, but its a very reliable model. There is a camera which is handy for taking snaps with a 8 times optical zoom and produces a good picture but is only a standard 2 mega pixels. The internal memory of 9mb is hardly sufficient to handle the photos and videos you take, however there is a micro SD card slot which you can fit up to a 8gb card and enables alot more pictures to be taken.

The sound on this phone is very good indeed, with from listening to music in headphones, to talking on it its clear clarity. One added feature for you is voice dialling, so you can say your contacts name followed by a word of your choice and you phone will ring them, its that simple. And if they ring you, the mp3 ringtone will help you hear the call, being so loud you can easily here. Oh and one thing I forgot to mention for people who want to listen to music, there is an inbuilt FM stereo into the phone.

The standby time for this time is awesome being of 350 hours, but talktime is only 3 and a half, so if you use your phone alot to call then this probably isn’t the best phone for you, but if you like to leave it on standby then this could be the one for you.

This phone doesn’t have 3G which means no video calling or fast web browsing, although Edge technology is used, which is faster than GPRS but slower than 3G.

Best Features - 8X Optical Zoom, 16million colour screen, speaker(voice dialling, music, mp3 ringtones) , lightweight(91g)

Worst Features - 9mb internal memory, short talk time (3.5 hours), no 3G,

Nokia 6120 Review

Sunday, March 16th, 2008

Nokia 6120

Welcome to the most affordable phone from 3, despite this tag, its actually a very good model with some great features. The Nokia 6120 can be used anywhere in the world as it’s a quadband model. You can use it for video calls which come up look clear with the 320 by 240 resolution display.

The one think I personally don’t like about this phone is the way it looks, but that’s probably because I’m a guy and pink isn’t my favourite colour. However it is reasonably light being 89g and nicely sliding into my pocket, being 15mm wide, its a bit bigger than many of the smaller phones on the market but hey the features totally make up for this.

What else can I say about this nokia? Well its connectivity is very good, bluetooth and a lovely Internet browsing. The battery life if one of the best for a videophone. To me this phone doesn’t seem very professional, its seems a fun light hearted design, which I did enjoy, especially the in built games.

Nokia 6500 Review

Nokia 6500

The first thing that strikes me about this phone is its stylish keypad layout, which i think looks awesome and makes the buttons more easily pressable. The nokia 6500 is crammed with features, it even embraces 3G and has a video call functionality.

The camera is a 2 mega pixel one, but its quality appears to be more than this, and it uses flash which is very handy and works quite brightly. The large memory on this phone is a great place to store lots of pictures, and they can then easily be moved to your PC desktop.

The colour on this phone has 16.7 million different shades, and has a very good resolution and this is a pretty technologically advanced model, and the price is reasonable. The one flawe in my opinion is the battery life which has been known to run down pretty swiftly.

This phone would be very handy if you want a small lightweight model, that fits very nicely into your pocket, it manages to fit in so many wonderful features into 94g, and is very thin aswell. These features however are primarily behind the high battery use.

Nokia 8800 Review

Nokia 8800

Pure luxury, in a phone, the Nokia 8800 is for the businessman or woman who wants that sophisticated professional look. This phone can do alot of tricks and is perfect for when you are away from the office, there are office documents viewer, and EDGE technology for easy checking your emails and fast browsing of the net.

Another function which is great for international traveller is the triband functionality, which mean it can be used in most overseas countries including the USA.

The memory is not expandable which is a bit of a pain, being only 64mbs, the FM radio is particularly good with really brilliant sound clarity. There is also a rather wonderful media player which you can listen to mp3s and watch videos.

Due to the metalicness of the case this model is incredibly hard wearing the only bad point to this phone is really its price which is rather high, although it could be considered an investment for your business. The camera on this phone is rather nice leaving my experience with this phone to be rather pleasureable.

Nokia 2310 Review

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

Nokia 2310

Welcome to this review of a Nokia classic design, the 2310, the phone for people who want a small lightweight phone primarily for making phone-calls and texts.

First of all I have to mention the feature that I have found to be one of most essential to me, the in built FM radio which sets it apart from other similar low budget phones. As many of its competitors its a very lightweight, hard wearing model, with long battery life (400 hours standby, 360 minutes talk-time).

Along with all the positives about this phone, there are negatives, such as it not being capable of pictures messages, no camera in the phone and it having quite a low resolution screen (96 by 68 pixels). Although there is a lack of features, the price more than makes up for this being only £10 to by at UK shops. Despite being lightweight, the buttons are large making it easy for people with chunky fingers or poor eyesight to dial. The simple interface allows you to just type the number in a press the call button, no more messing around with complex keypads on some of the more expensive phone, dare i say it this phone would suite older people or those not so used to using this kind of technology, and allows them to use it with ease.

The Nokia 2310 has alot of things customizable, such as removable fascias which are available in a number of bright colours, which make it more stylish. You are also able to customize the screen savers, backgrounds and polyphonic ring-tones, as well as a controllable vibrating alert mode.

Nokia N95 Review

Saturday, March 1st, 2008

Nokia N95Its modern, if you saw the Nokia N95 in the 1990’s you would think that it was some kind of highly sophisticated robot and to be honest after reviewing it, I really have to agree that it comes quite close.

Nokia have unleashed the beast. The N95 really is a phone for those of you who like your mobile and
take pride in a phone. Its a multimedia giant packed into just 120g of electrical engineering genius.

Nearly every feature you can think a mobile phone has today, this phone has. Slide up the screen and you find the keypad with easy to use keys perfect to take advantage of the HSDPA compatibility which means you will be able to use the lightening fast data services where these are
available.

The camera for me is the cherry on the cake. Most mobile phones I review have 2
megapixel cameras. That to me seems very adequate and perfect for my use of a camera phone, but the Nokia N95, does
not just double expectations
, it gives you a 5 Megapixel camera, asking yourself why did you even purchase that digital
camera last year? Take photos and movies of friends and families and if that is not enough you will be able to show them on your tv, by being able to link them up. Sound Wise it squares up well with 3D stereo Speakers

Maybe a downside to me may purely be the size of the Nokia N95. As I have previously said in my reviews, I am not a fan of slide phones, I like the numbers to be easily accessible when I need them. Having said that if you are a fan of as much multimedia into a phone as is possible, then you must take a closer look at them. When reviewing it, I notice that it the Nokia N95 is available in both black and white. The handset is 3G, perfect for those high profile calls.

With its very own built in GPS system, you should never be lost when the Nokia N95 is in the palm of your hand. Further features include a WiFi system, Bluetooth, WAP and an FM Radio. Its as though all those vital systems you once relied on have now been put in 120g of pure excellence.

Summary of the Nokia N95: Looking at this phone is eye candy, yet the backend is even better. This phone is for the professionals, period.

Nokia E50 Review

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

Nokia E50The Nokia E50 is one of Nokia’s classic design models. When I found out I was to review it, I was a little hesitant because it is not one of Nokia’s latest designs, but at the same time I knew it was a strong reliable model. Obviously at closer look, I notice there is more to it than meets the eye. Infact there is much more than meets the eye. It seems that the only think that is traditional is the design. The Nokia E50 has had one very large revamp.

The E50 is aimed at the business user. With the ability to view file documents, send text and picture
messages as well support for most email features.

Let the mobile synchronize with your PC as it fetches details of your calender and many of features.

One thing I did like about the Nokia E50 was the browser features on it to access the internet. The pages
were easy on the eye and it was a good speed. This is certainly a major positive for this phone.

The Nokia E50 is not just all about documents and checking your emails however. Its loaded with a 1.3 mega pixel camera and
an inbuilt MP3 player. I am going to be a bit negative here, but 1.3 mega pixel camera for a new phone, is impressive, but
I would certainly say not the best. The design I feel is also a bit basic and if you are out to impress then maybe not. However if
you are strictly business then this phone could easily be a good choice for you and I much advise you to take a much stronger
look at it.
