But can it compete against the next generation of the Apple iPhone? http://www.mobilegazette.com/htc-touch-diamond-08x05x06.htm C80E074A-E466-45A6-946D-DED4247FAF15 Tue, 6 May 2008 19:23:14 +0100 The GSmart t600 has a VGA resolution display and a DVB-T digital TV receiver. Initially launching in Germany, we suspect that this will be a popular smartphone elsewhere too. http://www.mobilegazette.com/gsmart-t600-08x05x01.htm 675348A8-56C0-4DA2-B2CD-B2983552078B Thu, 1 May 2008 19:29:06 +0100 An odd looking phone, but with good reason. The LG HB620T includes a digital TV receiver, in addition to being a pretty normal 3.5G clamshell device. http://www.mobilegazette.com/lg-hb620t-08x05x01.htm 9079DA18-7833-4A6F-A1F6-0E512241BE74 Thu, 1 May 2008 18:50:16 +0100 It's a conventional looking phone on the outside, but the Samsung D780 DuoS is one of a very small number of phones that can support two SIM cards simultaneously. http://www.mobilegazette.com/samsung-d780-30x04x08.htm 800A2138-10DD-4A92-9183-93F8BF031687 Wed, 30 Apr 2008 20:07:44 +0100 The Nokia 3600 Slide is possibly the cheapest high-quality camera phone on the market, in a package that offers a surprising amount for the money. http://www.mobilegazette.com/nokia-3600-slide-08x04x28.htm 84E46BE5-E29D-44DF-8B64-3A4C5A5D9BDC Mon, 28 Apr 2008 21:59:00 +0100 An elegant looking 3G phone, the Nokia 6600 Fold will appeal to Nokia customers who prefer a clamshell device. But is it as good as the sliding version of the 6600? http://www.mobilegazette.com/nokia-6600-fold-08x04x28.htm 02E12437-9D1D-42C8-819E-03CF50DC8EEC Mon, 28 Apr 2008 19:57:01 +0100 The Nokia 6600 Slide is a 3G phone with a 3.2 megapixel camera that offers a decent amount of features for the money. It's quite different from the last time Nokia made a phone with this model number. http://www.mobilegazette.com/nokia-6600-slide-08x04x28.htm 7047C9E7-7CDB-459A-BB56-90A402BEDF2D Mon, 28 Apr 2008 19:03:16 +0100 Not yet officially announced, the Motorola A810 is a compact touchscreen smartphone. But will it offer enough to be appealing in this increasingly competitive market segment? http://www.mobilegazette.com/motorola-a810-08x04x24.htm 1A198C1F-6599-483B-8CE2-B3D31CFA9064 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 22:14:14 +0100 An attractive touchscreen phone with a five megapixel camera and HSDPA support, the LG Secret / LG KF750 is the latest "Black Label" series handset from LG. http://www.mobilegazette.com/lg-secret-kf750-08x04x24.htm 51CEE3C8-F13F-4435-88B1-74B00F5F01AB Thu, 24 Apr 2008 19:32:58 +0100 HSDPA and GPS are unusual features in this otherwise midrange clamshell phone. The Sony Ericsson Z780 looks quite attractive too, although it does have its weaknesses. http://www.mobilegazette.com/sony-ericsson-z780-08x04x23.htm D4AAA08D-F1EA-4C74-848C-15B638E87358 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 20:22:20 +0100 A lightweight HSDPA phone with optional GPS support, the Sony Ericsson G502 brings 3.5G capabilities to the mass-market. http://www.mobilegazette.com/sony-ericsson-g502-08x04x23.htm FB890D7C-F3D4-4062-94BA-AC1C2DCBF06D Wed, 23 Apr 2008 20:22:09 +0100 There's not much in the technical specification of the Nokia 5220 XpressMusic that we haven't seen before. But we certainly haven't seen a Nokia this shape before. http://www.mobilegazette.com/nokia-5220-xpressmusic-08x04x22.htm AF9688CC-9368-4867-A496-933EAD4D814E Tue, 22 Apr 2008 21:25:08 +0100 The Nokia 5320 XpressMusic is a music-oriented phone with enhanced media capabilities. It also comes with 3G, HSDPA and Symbian S60. http://www.mobilegazette.com/nokia-5320-xpressmusic-08x04x22.htm B7DCDB65-5E86-4AA4-BEA2-F48CC3E5ACB3 Tue, 22 Apr 2008 18:53:24 +0100 Almost definitely coming in a couple of months time, the 3G Apple iPhone may well fix one of the biggest annoyances of this handset. But where do existing customers stand, and what will the new iPhone look like? http://www.mobilegazette.com/apple-iphone-3g-08x04x20.htm 4C73FB1B-4F1C-4793-9673-4DA9AEC882EE Sun, 20 Apr 2008 19:04:15 +0100 A low cost 3G handset, the Nokia 6212 Classic also comes with NFC. We take a brief look at NFC technology and ask: is it really something that people are going to need? http://www.mobilegazette.com/nokia-6212-classic-08x04x15.htm AF9CDD8F-58D6-4D95-B033-ABD96093CAD8 Tue, 15 Apr 2008 23:00:47 +0100 Two low cost clamshell phones, the Samsung B300 and M310 probably meet the needs of many consumers pretty well. But is there really anything here to excite customers? http://www.mobilegazette.com/samsung-b300-m310-08x04x14.htm 2BDF18D4-F935-4AA8-9FC5-8945877D6206 Tue, 15 Apr 2008 23:52:23 +0100 The Motorola M990 Smart Rider is not like most phones. Designed for use in a car, van or truck, the M990 features satellite navigation, voice recognition and weighs a whopping 400 grams. http://www.mobilegazette.com/motorola-m990-smartrider-08x04x09.htm 2BDF18D4-F935-4AA8-9FC5-8945877D6205 Tue, 8 Apr 2008 23:52:23 +0100 The Nokia N810 WiMAX Edition adds WiMAX support to the existing N810 Internet Tablet. But what is WiMAX exactly, and who can benefit from it? http://www.mobilegazette.com/nokia-n810-wimax-08x04x08.htm 620C08B5-ED20-4773-BF18-BF54B9196D63 Mon, 7 Apr 2008 23:40:00 +0100 The Nokia 2680 Slide and 1680 Classic are two more very low cost handsets from Nokia aimed at those people who want a wide range of basic functions for their money. http://www.mobilegazette.com/nokia-2680-1680-08x04x02.htm 3484F34B-06FF-40D9-82E6-EB6442329CD4 Wed, 2 Apr 2008 23:20:19 +0100 Another low-cost entry level phone from Nokia, but the Nokia 5000 manages to squeeze a QVGA screen, Bluetooth and an FM radio into a handset costing less than €100. http://www.mobilegazette.com/nokia-5000-08x04x02.htm C5466B10-7F38-4341-981E-D669CD1D5159 Wed, 2 Apr 2008 22:05:00 +0100 Nokia's third "Prism" series phone, the Nokia 7070 Prism is a very low cost clamshell that offers strikingly distinctive looks in a light weight package. http://www.mobilegazette.com/nokia-7070-prism-08x04x02.htm 40CAF49F-08FD-4C8C-B63F-B02898485DDA Wed, 2 Apr 2008 19:41:32 +0100
