LG GD330 Unboxing Pictures & Review

LG is keen on rushing out the mobile phone to meet the demand of different customers. From LG Viewty Smart to KS660 (the phone with dual SIM compatibility), they are all highlighting the stylish design or exceptional features. Here’s come GD330, the slider phone which is in entry-level phone borrowed somewhat from LG’s Secret in design.

It comes with a Battery, a Charger, a USB cable, headsets, a CD and Manual.

The glossy front panel of GD330 looks really classy. The metal frame around the front panel is another sleek ornament, which carry on the look and style of the LG Secret.

Move on to the keypad, you may find it has some different between Secret and GD330 here. They added 4-way Navigation and Menu keys as a hardware key, but is still combining of touch sensitive keys. They are really smooth and fun way to control here. Seems the problem in Secret has been solved.

Sliding GD330 open reveals the alphanumeric keypad, which is large enough and well defined, offers good press feedback. Also, you may find the microphone pinhole at the bottom.

The volume rocker and the USB slot are on the left of the phone.

On the right, you may find the microSD card slot. It allows an extension of memory up to 8GB.

The 2 Megapixel camera (an obvious concession to the handsets reasonably low price point) is located at the back.

The “leather-like” back looks really nice. They are in rough surface, but the one in Secret feels like glass and soft to touch. Actually, I prefer the one in GD330 here, as it is scratch-resist.

The user-interface here.

GD330 comes with a light sensor for battery saving by exploring the outer surroundings and then adjusted the optimum illuminating screen backlight. It marks its distinction among a host of mobile phones available in the market (Environmental friendly!). With descent eye catching outlooks and elegant design, fair quality, basic and simple features.GD330 is more then an entry-level phone, which nice to be considerate.

Sony Ericsson T707 Unboxing Pictures & Review

Sony Ericsson T707 is a fashion oriented device radiated style and glamour. It’s all about design but not the trendy one, perhaps many of you may think of the HTC Diamond2, LG Prada II, Samsung S8003 Jet…top of the range pricy handsets. Things to be difference with T707 here, target at the audiences who need a phone that is easy to use, but with chic as well in a budget price.

It comes with a battery, a charger, a handsfree and a user’s guide.

It surely an eye catcher. The two circular elements backlight in soft white when the call incoming. It comes in three colors; Mysterious Black, Spring Rose and Lucid Blue. All feel like a lovely toy for ladies. It is sleek and shiny but easy to catch the fingerprints.

Take a look on inside. The Blue one is much more eye catching between the other two. The display here is 2.2”only, and the frame around it makes it looks even smaller.

Actually T707 flip opening mechanism is quite smooth. But it will be perfect to be springier.

The keypad is flat and the spacing between keys is moderate. The texture of super fine grooves provides a very firm grip. Look! It is so stylish especially the rainbow D-pad. (Love it so much!)

The back of the device is made of matte plastic. Feel nice and rubbery. The sleek front is really matched with the back. Also, it features the Sony Ericsson logo and the loudspeaker as some other Sony Ericsson phones.

Under the T707 back cover there’s nothing surprising- battery, the SIM and M2 memory card slot. But you don’t need to remover the battery to insert the memory card with it.

The external display inside the large semi-circle is not very big with 1.1” only and is just monochrome, shows information about the time, battery status, signal strength and missed events. The 3.2 MP camera is located at the top.

The volume rocker and the memory card slot indication icon on the right. T707 is no more than one mm thicker than most other clamshells as it is in 14.1mm thick. Very handy and comfortable to hold.

The small circular element at the right side of the two semi-circles can be backlight in a choice of five different colors and these personalize pulsating light flashes depending on who is calling. Well~ the rainbow D-pad can be lighted up by the reflection of the light outside, don’t need any backlights to make it shiny. So nice!

There are four preinstalled themes: Clarity, Dandelion, Forest tale, and Pink lilac. Pink lilac here. Neat and clean.

It also features gesture control as you can wave your hand over the screen to mute calls or alarm. (Like the one in Sony Ericsson W380).You can customize the theme to your individual taste. It also changes from day into evening, which is perfect to match with everything from pure whites to a little black.

ACER F900 Unboxing Pictures & Review

Acer seems to be fighting very hard for its share in the mobile phone market. F900 is one of the novelties from Acer Tempo Smartphone Series – its first attempt to establish itself in the Smartphone faculty. Is it a make or break for Acer’s Smartphone debut? We’ll find out.

Within the box are the F900 phone, the additional stylus, a battery, a charger, a data cable, a handsfree set and a user’s guide.

The gadget has a 3.8” monitor which is among the most humongous in a handset we have seen. It resembles HTC Touch HD who looks a bit like LG Viewty Smart. Let’s admit it, there isn’t a lot of room for phones with a bigger-than-3-inch screen to be different. Only two keys remain on the front plain – the windows key and the back key. The geometric design is simplistic enough to my liking and with thickness of 12.9mm, it does look compactly smart.

The power button is relocated on the left side of the phone (which I think is a bit unnecessary coz the only thing that the repositioning achieves is to make the lefthander feel bad.)

On the right side you see the MicroSD slot and the volume control.

You have got a speaker here on top juxtaposed with the letters GPS. (a GPS speakerphone!?)

The plastic case at the back is not so much my cup of tea. It reminds me of a geeky computing device from Cold War era more than a chic communicating handset to date. The 3.2 megapixel camera is a bit below par. (It’s not supposed to be a hipster phone perhaps)

You have to click the red safety lock to release the battery and put the lid back on.

F900 is operating on Windows Mobile 6.1 professional and a 533 MHz processor. It is a guarantee of stability and speed.

Google Maps application is on board with the latest Google latitude.

Here are the applications from settings. Pretty user-friendly eh?

Acer F900 has found its niche in putting forward a smart phone within such a comparatively low price range. It’s functional: Windows Mobile 6.1 providing a smooth operation, WiFi, GPS and HSDPA connectivity, 3.8 inch display that shows exhilarating images. Nothing too flashy and gimmicky.

Samsung S8000 (S8003) Jet Unboxing Pictures & Review

Samsung’s OmniaHD i8910 is reputed to be invincible in the mobile world with its exceptional features of camera and video recording, which is targeting at the upper class level. This time Samsung puts a more affordable device on the table with its Samsung S8003 Jet, where as Samsung touts it to be smarter than smartphone, with multitasking, Microsoft Exchange supports as well as the fastest 800MHz processor in their family.

It comes with a battery, a charger, a data cable, a handsfree set, a pouch, CD-ROM and a user’s guide.

The S8003 Jet in hands, big screen in 3.1-inch and a few buttons below the screen. It feels like HTC Magic if you close you eyes. The display reacts to even the slightest touch just as a capacitive screen does, you can use anything you want to interact with it –stylus, pen, nails, gloves, etc. For texting, zooming…everything easy gets done with it.

There are 3 hardware buttons below the display which is made of matte material that helps keep fingerprints away. They are Call and End keys, as well as the center button which is in 3D Cube. Very eye-catching!

At the top, it houses a 3.5mm audio jack and a standard microUSB port with a protective cover.

The volume rocker is on the left side.

On the right side are the Screen Lock key and the task switcher / shutter key combo.

The back is a light reflecting plates that create a curved-mirror kaleidoscope-like effect, which is very nice in red color. But easy to leave fingerprints and dust with every touch. The 5 megapixel camera is also there with the dual LED flash.

Remove the back cover, you’ll find the SIM and microSD card slots.

It sports the usual TouchWiz with 3D enhancements like we’ve seen on the OmniaHD. The main menu is divided into three separate screens where apps can be placed plus there is the option to download more. The apps switched between by sliding your finger to access all telephone functions just similar to the iPhone.

Press on the button keys on the right to bring the 3D cube on screen. Well~ it is really three dimensional here, which is usable with its six sides. Of course, you can work on the bar at the bottom of the screen as well to access multimedia, entertainment and internet content.

On Plemix.com here. The S8003 JET features high speed 3G and Wi-Fi support. And the browser fully supports flash content allows you to play the computer version of YouTube. Pages are rendered properly and selecting links is as easy as double clicking.

The S8003 Jet also has three different methods of text input: the traditional one- typing on an alphanumeric keypad, QWERTY keyboard and handwriting, which is available on the whole screen, in one large box, or in four small boxes. We are definitely fascinated with what the S8003 Jet offers: the 3D cube is simply a sophisticated way to make use of shortcuts, Speedy processor and ultra brilliant display…The device is up to the task of being more than decent mid-range level.

LG GC900 Viewty Smart Unboxing Pictures & Review

We gave you a little teaser on the then up-and-coming LG Viewty Smart a couple of months ago. Thank you for sticking around until the flagship’s arrival (and applause to you who know where to get bargains.) We are proud to present you the latest offspring of the LG family – the LG Viewty Smart.

Let’s look at what we get physically off the box: the GC900, a battery, a charger, a stereo handsfree, a USB cable and the user’s guide.

The LG Viewty Smart is a beauty. The 3-inch full touchscreen encapsulated by the sophisticated case of black and a silvery frame is the timeless design that is hard to fail. What makes you scream is its slimness. At a thickness of 12.4mm, it proves that size does matter.

As you can see, we have the slot for audio plug-in that doubles as the charger socket. A hint of no 3.5mm Audio jack. Negative!

We find the dedicated key for the Cube interface on the left, together with the MicroSD slot that allows an extension of memory up to 32GB.

The power switch pairs with the key lock.

The back view is looking as smart as the name. It’s indeed plastic with a faux metal finish that makes it high-end looking but still weighs little.

The quality lens of the 8 megapixeller is the contribution of Schneider Kreuznach. The LED flash is peculiarly placed in a position that may potentially be blacked by fingers. Yeah, they should have been smart enough to figure out what is wrong.

Spotlight on the battery please. It blooms.

The S-Class UI who made its entrance in LG KM900 Arena is the highlight of the handset. Seriously, it’s one of the best UIs I have come across to date. The menu is a scrollable four-row mega piece and it can place horizontally on landscape view. The homescreen is broken down to a set of four: Shortcuts, Widgets, Contacts and Multimedia with intuitive and smooth 3D accelerated graphics.

The camera is a land to explore. It has Intelligent Shot feature that automatically analyses the photographic elements and select the fittest from the various modes available.

It is further enhanced with image stabilization and 2.8 autofocus.

I would say LG Viewty Smart is what hipsters would crane their neck for. A bootylicious design with the ever-so-smooth UI. DIVX and Xvid video playback and Dolby stereo make sure it’s a multimedia blowout. With Wifi- HSDPA and GPS, it sue is there to catch every pair of eyes.

Motorola MOTOMING A1210 Unboxing Pictures & Review

Still remember the elderly Motorola A1200 MING smartphone, which takes a fad few years ago with its flashy design and Linux OS? Now, its successor, the MING A1210 is here and comes with a host of enhancements together with the reasonable price. It sounds great, isn’t it?

It comes with a battery, a charger, a handsfree, a USB cable, CD and a User’s guide.

The Motorola A1210 which is the forth generation of MOTOMING, keeps the same design as its family members, especially A1200: The round edge, clear shape, clamshell…

Same as A1200 , the flippable transparent lid with a large touchscreen underneath. Before, A1200 got 2.4-inch display only but we have 2.8-inch QVGA now. Flip open, it looks longer and the bigger screen looks really great.

There are call and end keys only below the display. Large enough to offer great touch orientation.

Oh goody! We find the 3.5mm audio jack at the top.

On the left side, we have the USB slot. And the volume rocker is just next to it.

The camera shutter is on the right. The stylus is also there which is quite long and can be folded up into 3 parts.

The snake-skin-like mats back panel with shiny Motorola logo, 3.1 Megeapixel Camera and the loudspeaker grill.

The light orange loudspeaker grill in smile shape. So lovely! The device equipped with FM radio and Bluetooth.

You have to take off the battery in order to insert the memory card. It got 64MB internal memory and expandable via microSD slot.

Run on Linux-base OS. The main menu here! With the bigger screen, we saw four rows of applications, whereas the A1200 is only shown 3 rows only.

When you are composing a text message, there are several available input methods: English Keyboard, Numeric Pad, and Handwriting with Cursive Handwriting Recognition, Pinyin and Zhuyin Board for typing in Chinese.

English Keyboard in QWERTY.

To be honest, it is nothing that impressive with the A1210 so far. Lacking of playful features, advancing technology and outstanding outlook, however, it’s with fair quality during operating, the tactile touchscreen, basically with FM radio, tri-band GSM support, Bluetooth, USB and really appreciated with its 3.5mm jack. One thing need to remind you that it doesn’t have WiFi here. But with the reasonable price, still, it is worth to take a look.

Nokia N86 Unboxing Pictures & Review

Market leaders Nokia are usually among the key news makers at mobile industry and always surprised us with it advanced technology. Continuing long run of success, they have added another new thing to its N series, N86, the new imagining-savvy flagship. Its 8 megapixel camera with new added features which is a top contender for daylight shots, rival the Samsung I8910 Omnia and Sony Ericsson W995 for the 8 megapixel crown. And……

Read on.It comes with a battery, a stereo headset, a charger, a data cable, an audio controller, a Nokia Ovi Suite DVD and a user’s guide.

N86 looks alike its brother N85 but a bit thicker, and only with a light different between their keypad. It fits well in a hand no matter the mode you are using it in (portrait/landscape). The one we test is entirely black

The keypad on the front panel: 2 selection keys, Send/End keys, Menu key, Clear key, as well as the Scroll and selection key in the middle which is responds to circular movements from your finger. To be honest, the D-pod is not the very definition of user-friendliness but isn’t too bad either.

Sliding the Nokia N85 up. You may aware of that Nokia have improved their keypad here from over flat one to more sensitive one.

N86 sports the double-sliding format started by N95. Sliding the phone in the other direction reveals the dedicated music player/gallery/gaming keys. They are in same order as N85, but the icon any the keys have improved a lot. I like N86 more.

On the right, we have the volume/Zoom key and the camera shutter. 2 stereo speakers placed at the top and the bottom of the device.

On the left, there is the key lock switch only.

At the top of the device, we have power key, Nokia AV connector (3.5mm) and the USB slot.

The back panel placed flash and video light, lens cover and the 8 magepixal camera.They are perfectly balanced.

Well~ the 8 megapixel camera with autofocus and a built-in dual LED flash is the remarkable thing in N86, with a wide-angle 28mm Carl Zeiss lens of variable F2.4/3.2/4.8 aperture. The fast mechanical shutter ensures pictures with less motion blur while the dual LED camera flash is powerful enough for excellent photography and video capture.The quality of the photo taken by this camera can be compared by stand alone digital cameras. Cool~

N86 got a really cool kickstand. We love it so much, but you have to take special care with it. It seems a bit weak which is easily to be broken.

It comes with a huge 8GB built in memory plus the handset supports a memory card slot which can hold up to 16GB of external memory. Unfortunately, you have to remove the back cover to insert the memory card here.

N86’s screen sure is amazing. It’s with incredible contrast. And the UI can also work in landscape mode.

It runs on Symbian 9.3 OS with Series60 3rd Edition user interface. Just the same as N85. Nokia N85 also supports Active standby with two optional layouts.

You can select the default provider here. As N86 is a 3G HSDPA capable Smartphone which supports high speed Internet connectivity, fast data transfer rates, so that we can enjoy multitasking features with thanks to the 3G technology.

On plemix.com here. While browsing, to visit a web page save as a bookmark in the bookmarks view, press1, and select a bookmark. So easy and convenience!

N86 offers bright OLED screen with scratch resistant hardened glass, high-end digital camera, and easy photo management, full sync capability with a PC and TV-out support for slide shows also offers services such as Nokia Ovi with Nokia Maps for the A-GPS module and Nokia Store and N-Gage.

HTC Snap S521 Unboxing Pictures & Review

After the Touch Pro2 and Diamond2, HTC got its new Snap, non-touchscreen device and lacking of the playful and tricky features, however, targeting at the audiences who loves simple and neat. It offers a simple set of features: “inner circle” optimized for e-mail and messaging, as well as the trackball…Keep the things back to pure with no gimmick.

It’s comes with a battery, an AC adapter, a stereo headset, a USB cable, CD and User’s guide.

Snap with a slim, sleek designed to fit perfectly in the hand, as it measures 12mm thickness only. At the first glance, it reminds me of Blackberry Bold, but slightly thinner and smaller.

Snap got the same features as Blackberry Bold did-the trackball. Maybe that’s one of the reasons that Snap looks alike Bold. Since the trackball itself is the impressive performer that is great and responsive to every flick of the thumb.

The QWERTY keyboard which is using a four-row layout. The domed keys here are in right size and incredibly tactile. The typing speed is great as well. It is one of the best keyboards we have ever set a thumb on. Well ~can you see the MSN logo on the forth-row there? It is the quick connection button to your MSN account. The Inner circle button which is on the right brings the e-mails rise to the top for quick access with one touch. Actually, it’s very convenient and having streamlined communication here with Snap.

On the right, there’s the USB/ audio jack slot. Still lacking of 3.5mm jack!

The convenience key here which assigned by default to voice-commands.

The back panel is simply coating in rubberize material, so it’s not slick and you feel confident that you’re not going to drop it. The 2 megapixel camera lens also here, but please don’t set your hopes too high with it. It is the totally different things as of Touch Pro2 or Diamond2.

This time, you are able to install your microSD card by removing the back cover only. No need to take off the battery.

On the start screen here. Over simple and neat and nothing attractive. Some might argue we are just too picky here. And yes we are!

All the office works are organized with the familiar experience of Windows Mobile.

HTC Snap is simply stylish with light and portable size. Texting is faster and more comfortable than ever with the QWERTY keyboard with natural offset pattern and the shortcut keys make the communication faster and much more convenient. Sometime simple is the best! It’s worth a look when you are shopping for your next business handset.

Samsung i8910 Omnia HD Unboxing Pictures & Review

Samsung i8910 Omnia HD is revolutionary. It will go down in history as the first mobile phone to have HD recording technology, putting even some of the camcorders to shame. It is not just a one trick pony though, the specs sheet is ecstatically featureful: 8MP camera, 3.7” AMOLED screen, an extremely compatible media player, WiFi and HSDPA connection, Symbian S60 5th Edition… The list goes on. Don’t feel guilty if you feel the urge to press the Add Cart button now!

You find in the package the phone, a battery, a charger, a stereo handsfree, a data cable and a user’s guide.

i8910 Omnia HD comes with an omnipresent 3.7” AMOLED screen. It is sensible for Samsung to have as enormous a screen as possible because you want every detail of the HD clips to be seen clearly. Convenience is the buzzword for telecommunication nowadays. The long customizable list of widgets at the homescreen of i8910, inherited from earlier models like Pixon and UltraTOUCH, can best exemplify that.

An in-built memory of 8GB and an expandable memory up to 32GB with MicroSD. It guarantees enough space for your HD videos.

On the right side lie the hold key, camera shutter and the USB port.

At the bottom are the mouth piece, half of the speakerphone construction and the 3.5mm audio jack

The plastic battery cover is a fingerprint collector, but the fact that the camera lens is left uncovered is even worse. I wish Samsung had been more considerate. The camera is worthy of attention: 8 magepixel with LED that can be used in Video Recording, auto-focus, face/smile/blink detection and of cause the HD 24fps video recording. I have to agree with the Samsung ads that the video quality is superior.

Like other Symbian S60 V5.0 handsets (5800 XpressMusic, Nokia N97), the interface is very user friendly. You can choose between list or grid view of menu.

GPS and MySpace are on board.

Auto-rotation is made possible by accelerator for better playback of videos and pictures. It is best for motion-enabled 3D games.

Samsung i9810 Omnia HD has surely got my vote. The deep black color is a good match for the sophisticated phone. Ground breaking HD recording still has me gaping. The monstrous media player supporting an array of formats including Xvid, DivX would not disappoint you. Symbian S60 V5.0 offers simple and smooth operation. Don’t you wanna add it to your cart?
