Asus P527 Cell Phone

The Asus P527 Smart Phone is probably what you’d call perfect. When shopping for a new phone, you’d probably look at its technical specifications first and more often than not, base your decision on that piece of scouting job. Well, if you did that, it’s hard not to choose the Asus P527 phone. On paper, it has everything you’d ever dream of in a phone. But it’s not always the specs and features that matter. At least not with the P527. Later on in the article, you’ll know why.

It’s features include a big 2.7-inch LCD and spacious keypad that is both very usable and attractive. Beneath the elegance, you have Wi-Fi, GPS, an FM radio. Asus has even thrown in a even remote desktop-control feature. Great right? Well, unfortunately, what will detract users from getting this phone is its slow response time that I’m sure most users will loose patience of, and buggy applications.

A feature that would probably matter to some people is the P527’s GPS. The main application is Asus Go, which comes on its own 2GB microSD card and isn’t preinstalled on the device proper. The software is reasonably intuitive but is hardly as capable as a modern, stand-alone GPS device is. Other GPS applications included in the phone is the Travelog.

As a phone, the Asus P527 performs well enough. Its talk-time battery is very good and its built-in 2-megapixel camera takes good quality pictures. Better than most phones do in this class.

LG Flare LX175 Review

Cellphones nowadays have more and more feature, more complex controls and more advanced technologies. Tech savvy users would love these phones, but for those who wants only the basic functions, this can be a burden. That is why, simple entry-level phones with the most basic features are still on the market.

The new LG Flare LX175 is a simple phone that basically gives you all that you need in a phone. It is easy to use, very basic, and gives you just enough functionality to make it useful.

Despite its fancy name, the Flare is anything but fancy. It does not have a colorful or eyecatching design that most phones today have. It has an all-black exterior and very bland indeed. What does attract people is its sleek and minimalist appearance. It’s slightly curved on the sides, which contributes to a nice feel in the hand. Measuring 3.54 inches by 1.85 inches by 0.78 inch and weighing 2.72 ounces, the Flare is fairly lightweight and fits easily in a pocket or purse.

Samsung F700 review

currently mobile phones are used for a lot more than calling and sending text messages alone. Smartphones are gradually catching up with sales of mobile phones. The difference between a smartphone and a regular mobile phone is mainly found in the more extensive E-mail and Internet functionalities on the smartphone. The operation system of a smartphone is usually based on Microsoft Mobile, Symbian or PalmOS. However, Samsung have chosen equipping the F700 with their own operating system.

The main feature of the Samsung F700 is its full touchscreen. The monitor measures 3.2 inch and is capable of reproducing 260,000 colours. Touchscreens are beautiful and handy but one type of touchscreen or another can make a whole lot of difference.

The Samsung F700 has been equipped with two digital cameras. The front carries a small VGA camera, which mainly serves for video calls. The second camera, on the back, is more enhanced of course. The 3.0 Megapixel camera with auto focus as well as flash takes beautiful pictures. A minus is the shutter lag which makes the camera very slow. Sometimes I did not capture what I wanted to capture because I moved the phone before the picture was taken or because the object had gone from the composition before I was able to capture it.

Sharp 880SH Review

It has been a while since Japanese manufacturer Sharp produced a mobile phone, so when the Sharp 880SH arrived on our desk we were a little unsure what to expect. Despite being readily available on Vodafone in other European countries, Vodafone UK has so far refused to take the handset. Surveying the spec sheet it looks to be a well-rounded phone and will therefore surely only be a matter of time before the UK operator does snap it up.

A slider phone with a jet-black glossy body with metallic trimming, at first glance, you'd be forgiven for thinking that you were looking at a handset from one of the more renowned manufacturers such as Nokia or Samsung.

The first test with all slider phones is to see how secure it feels. While the sliding mechanism on the 880SH provides a satisfying clunk as you pop it back and forth, we're sad to say that the top half of the handset feels a little flimsy. We bet it wouldn't take too much for the phone to break apart.
