The N81 marks Nokia’s entry into music- related services similar to that offered by Apple. Like the N73 and N81 comes in two editions-standard and music. The former has a memory card slot, while the later has 8GB of flash memory and no money slot.

The N81 is handsome-rounded edges, back lustrous finished, and you’ll notice the use of contrasting brushed silver on the edges. Built quality is excellent, and though the body has a plastic feel to it, it’s rugged, and should take the rigours of everyday life. The slider mechanism is taut, but we’ve seen better ones on samsung phones. The front facia is dominated by a huge, sparklingly-clear 2.4-inch display. The screen equals that on the N95.

8GB memory means enough space to pack in your entire collection. Transfer times are reasonablly fast. Audio quality is good, and nearly equals that of the N95. The camera is complete let down, be warmed: just 2 megapixels doesn’t cut it anymore-at least not on a high-end phone.

What we all have been waiting for is finally coming with Microsoft planning to debut the windows screen. Reports say that the next generation will be flagged off by the senior vice president of windows. Windows 7 will make use of the same kernel as windows vista but it will have a whole new look. In terms of new features windows seven will not have much to offer, though this also means that it will allow you to use your present hardware. It will also benefit its users in many ways, for instance most external devices will be compatible with it. The time Microsoft might just stick to their plan of making good software, instead of building some thing like vista again, which has received much flak. Microsoft had said that new windows 7 will not have many of its current in built software, such as windows movie maker and live mail. They are planning to give these as downloadable add-ons.

With the release of the MOTO RAZR 2 V8, motorola has yet again raised the bar for stylish cell phones. In fact, just”stylish” doesn’t do it justice-it’s stunning!in its second iteration, the body of the MOTO RAZR is built from exquisite materials; it comes with two large screens, a revamped keypad, and a great music player.

The RAZR 2feels slimmer than the original RAZR, thanks to a less pronounced chin. The 2.2-inch LCD on the flap is the first of its kind on any phone-it’s sharp, and the clarity is amazing. Near the bottom of this screen are touch-sensitive electrostatic keys. All the keys on the new RAZR, including the touch-keys, vibrate when pressed-this, we think, is good in terms of haptic feedback.

The interior of the V8 are pretty similar to those of the original RAZR except for the keypad layout and the overall feel. The main display is similar to the one on the flap-2.2-inch,256k colours. The display is sharp and completly legible outdoors. The keypad has changed for the better-it has more feedback, and the backlight is much better than on the original RAZR.

The most significant change, however, is in the user interface. The phone is based on the linux+java platform, called MOTOMAGX. The interface is visually more refined and definitely better than the older motorola phones the multimedia, especially the music player is excellent. Playback can be controlled without opening the flap,thanks to the touch-sensitive buttons. Audio quality is excellent, and the bundled earphones are good. The phones supports the MP3, AAC, and ACC+ formats, but there’s no FM radio. Also, bundled memory is just 512MB, with no expansion allowed-lame, from a media player perspective.

The camera is reasonably good-about as good as any other 2MP cell phone camera. Indoors, photographs turn out dark; colours also get affected in low-light conditions. Video recording is strictly okay.

In our tests, signal reception was good in all conditions we put the phone through. Voice clarity was good, with no crackling or echo when we used the speakerphone. Battery life, when compared to the earlier model, is much better: with nominal usuage, the phone remained alive for two days.

The motorola RAZR is expensive at Rs16,799;you can get a better-featurd phone at that price point. However,there ia a RAZR fan following, and the new phone strikes the right chord.

The successor to the acclaimed N95, this new incarnation just got better all round. The navigational console has been completely revamped. The oblong buttons are easy to use, and directional pad is much better than that on the N95. The extra chrome on the buttons could have been avoided, we think- it picks up finger smudges and is likely to peel off. The number keypad is well-laid-out, but the hard-touch keys, combined with the slightly raised surface, makes finger-pad touch-typing a pain.

The music player is feature-rich-you can shuffle and repeat tracks, there’s a functional equalizer, and a visualization function too. Audio quality seems to have improved over the N95. Music quality is decent on the supplied earplugs, and this phone is just great with better earphones! Sony Ericsson still rules the game with their walkman series of phones, thought.

The phone comes with 160 MB of internal memory, which is well-supplemented by 8 GB of flash memory. No expansion is available for memory cards, but it’s not required. There’s a full functional GPS application inbuilt. This works well in conjunction with a GPRS connection. WiFi is inbuilt, as is the mandatory Bluetooth, and the Jurassic infrared. For the radio fan, the N95 8 GB incorporates FM radio.

In conclusion, the Nokia N95 8GB is a superb convergent device. Be it music, camera, GPS, or Internet connectivity, it just does everything better than most devices on the market.

The K850i is the flagship model in the cyber-shot line-up from sony-ericsson. Based around a 5 megapixel camera, it’s pitted against Nokia’s N95 as far as the camera is concerned. The K850i comes in at a notch above the K850i.

The phone sports a completely revamped design, with hardly any resemblance to earlier SE models. It is blocky, but the fit and finished are excellent. A nice, luminous green strip runs around the edge.

The K850i is designed to deliver a digital camera like experience, and it doesn’t disappoint. The camera controls have evolved over the K810i, and the ergonomics are much better. Since the K850i doesn’t have any additional dedicated buttons, most settings can be changed from single touch-sensitive button.

The K850i feels snappier throughout; it starts in an instant, file saves are fast, and it switches back to the phone in a second. Indoors, the camera has a tendency to underexpose if the flash is used.

The K850i comes with 40 MB of internal memory, and a 512 MB MS micro card comes bundled, but with a 5 megapixel camera and music, the phone is on par with the K810i, and it betters the N95, but can’t match any of the W series phone

The K810i comes from sony ericsson’s cybershot series.The 3.2 megapixel camera sensor is what differentiates this phone from the crowd and from other SE phones. The 810i is aimed at causal shutterbugs, and has some neat features that should go down well with that audience.

The translucent body with steel buttons gives the phone its unique appearance. The phone is quite long, but is comfortable to hold. The back cover is finished in rubberized material, and that gives the phone excellent grip, which is good for clicking snaps.

The K810i can play music too, and the quality is above average; it can’t match that of the walkman series, through. Further, the bundles earphones are the regular ones, not the fontopias. The K810i supports MS micro memory cards; though SE has bundled 128MB, it might not enough if you plan to carry music and click photographs at 3 megapixels.

We had no issues with the phone performance; signal reception was good, and so was the voice clarity. Battery life is okay expect around two days unless you plan to surf the internet and use Bluetooth a lot. In fact we’d recommend the K810i to anyone looking out for a good camera phone.

Sleek LCD screens have taken the place of the huge ugly boxes that CRTs were. With smaller footprints and larger screen sizes, even screens as large as 24 and 26 inches are practical for everyday use.

The 26 inch viewsonic VP2650WB runs at a resolution of 1920*1200 – the same used on 24 inch screens. The design of the screen is simple and nothing like some of the more stylish but smaller screens. There are no inbuilt speakers, no rounded bezels here. A fairly thin border surrounds the screen, but the back is rather bulky. The stand mechanism is useful and allows the screen to be lifted, rotate and even swivel. The stand is sturdy and doesn’t let the screen shake a lot. The raising and lowering system is mooth, but gives a little more resistance than some of the similarly behaving stands we’ve seen.

Other than DVI and VGA, the screen can be used as a USB hub. There are four ports at the back of the screen. Using the screen is also simple. All the navigation is done through four buttons on the front of the screen.

A 26-inch LCD screen is really a joy to work with, could stop you from buying this one today.

The W910i is the latest in the walkman series of phones from sony ericsson. It comes with a new media-browsing interface, and a inbuilt motion sensor for games and music.

The slim W910i employs a smooth slider mechanism. The front facia is dominated by a 2.4 inch LCD screen – strikingly beautiful, and it remains perfectly legible even in direct sunlight.

The navigational key includes a small steel five-way rocker which doubles up as the playback control when using media player, and two soft menu keys. Two additional keys are placed near the top, which are configured for the photo album by default; they can be used while gamming as well. The flat keypad lacks tactile feedback and feels mushy-not good if you SMS a lot. The power on and walkman buttons at the top are rather difficult to operate.

The camera on the W910i is decent, but not the best; you’d have expected SE to do better. As with all 2MP cameras, it performs better out-doors; image quality decrease with light. Video recording is okay.

The W910i is easily the best of the W series of phones from SE. We’d recommend the W910i to someone looking for a suave, slim music phone.

The Treo 750 is the latest PDA phone from palm; it promises one-handed operation though it’s a windows Mobile based device. The phone has a lot in common with its predecessors on the design front, and it has the distinctive Palm device feel to it-nice!

The new phone is tad slimmer than its predecessors; it feels lighter, and the curvaceous design helps hide the bulk. The dinky QWERTY thumb-board still remains one of the best we’ve seen thus far; though small and cramped, the chances of mistyping are very low.

Palm has done its bit to revamp the interface and make it easy to navigate without touching the stylus-something we really like about palm devices. The “Today Screen” shows information such as message, e-mail, voicemail, appointments, and more upfront; each of them can be accessed using just the navigation keys. To place a call, a contact name can be directly keyed in from within the Today Screen. Nevertheless, discounting the high price, the Treo 750 is a good Windows-based PDA phone.
