Samsung SPH-M610



The Smasung SPH-M610 is a very good looking mobile phone, with a high quality internal display and a lot of features. Currently, it’s the thinniest and slimmest mobile phone on the market. Also, the phone is not very high priced, despite it’s features, design and size, at only $329 full price.

This mobile phone is a tough competitor gor Motorola Rarz and seems to defeat it, due to it’s size, low weight, design and features.

IT’s main features are the 2 megapixel camera, microSD memory card slot, 2.2″ TFT display, with 262k colors, 3G technology and Bluetooth. Unfortunately, the camera isn’t of the best quality and the microSD memory card slot is badly positioned, being behind the battery, so you have to turn off the phone and get out the battery to change it.  The display is of good quality, but it has one issue, being seen badly in direct sunlight, as most samsung mobile phone do.

Nokia 8800 Sirocco Review

Nokia 8800 Sirocco is a luxurious phone, the most expensive Nokia on the market. It’s main features are a 2 megapixel camera, good TFT display with 262,000 colors, display protected by a sapphire glass and a body made of glossy steel.

The phone is made of high quality materials and it looks perfect, including it and it’s accesories. It is a stylish phone, looking great, not too big, but a little high weighted. The charger is not like the one from other mobile phones, looking like a docking station.

Unfortunately it doesn’t have a memory card slot, but this phone it’s not made to listen to music or play games, it’s more for talking and business and it’s very good at this, supporting 1000 contacts with lots of details each.

It’s camera it’s of bad quality, taking less quality pictures than almost all 2 megapixel camera mobile phones on the market.

Nokia 8800 Sirocco is a mobile phone built more for talking and for it’s luxurious design and less for other impressive features, like camera or mp3 player. There are other accesories included in it’s package, than in other mobile phone packages, like a leather case, two batteries, a Bluetooth handsfree, a earphone and a cleaning cloth.
