Mobile Phones Round Up

This seems to be a day about Johnny!

Anyway, after seeing Johnny's Nokia 7210 yesterday, I just thought I'd do a round up of phones out at the moment, or about to come out.

Sony Ericsson W800



The first Sony phone deemed worthy of the "W" (Walkman" tag. Encased in a tasteful orange shell, this phone is near identical to its sister phone, the K750.

It has

• 2mp camera
• 512mb memory stick
• 30 hour playback for music player
• FM radio

I've had a play with the K750 which is its sister phone, and the user interface is much better than the previous Sony Ericsson phones. Response time is neary instant, so eliminating the previous lag that these phones used to suffer.

A big thumbs up to this phone.

Nokia N91



Something a bit different. Nokia have placed a 4GB (the same size as a mini ipod) hard drive into a 3G/GSM smartphone.

This phone has

• 4GB hard drive - enough capacity for around 2000 odd songs? Or if you don't want ot use it store music, you can use it as an external hard drive
  
• 2MP camera
• FM radio

This phone won't be out till around late Autumn/early Winter, but rumours suggest that even with a subsided pricing plan, this phone will still be quite expensive. Also, personally, I have to ask myself, how long will the battery last for, if you're using the music player AND the phone all day long?


Motorola PEBL V6



Julie will like this - Motorola's latest stylish offering resembles....a pebble, hence the name! Function wise, it isn't exactly state of the art (no megapixel camera, no expandable memory, etc), but it should appeal to those who deem fashion more important than functionality.

Phone has

• 0.3 megapixel camera
• smooth silver finish
• 5mb memory

Er, and thats it!

SonyEricsson D750



Johnny, why don't you consider this? It's near identical to the W800 - all it lacks is the memory stick (which you can pick up cheaply in eBay or HK), and the headphones.

Phone has

• 2mp camera
• 30 hour playback for music player
• FM radio
• 64mb memory stick
  

And its going to be a lot cheaper than the W800 at first - the hype of the W800 is increasing the basic price of it.
