Sony Ericsson W980i 3G Phone Review

The Sony Ericsson W980i is a 3G Walkman® music phone which comes in a highly attractive clamshell opening handset. The casing is both fashionable to look at as well as practical to use. The external casing comes with easy to use external music keys which are circular in design & situated on the front of the W980i which adds to the overall design of this stunning music phone. It comes with an external colour screen which allows the user to view their music information & calling information without opening the handset. This external screen displays 262k colours on a TFT display with a 176 pixel by 176 pixel screen resolution. The casing is slim & comes with a smooth piano black coloured coating which makes the handset smooth to hold & adds to its sleek design. This clamshell opening phone is only 17mm in depth, 46mm in width & 92mm in height with a total weight of 100 grams.

A subtle but effective see through section situated at the bottom of the clamshell casing makes this handset stand out in design. When the Sony Ericsson W980i is opened the user can view the large 2.2 Inch colour screen which has a screen resolution of 240 pixels by 320 pixels & displays up to 262k colours on a TFT screen.

World's Thinnest MP4 Player

The above is the MP4 player which is at the moment claiming to be the world's thinnest at just 4.5mm thick. Yes, that's less than half a cm in length if you take out your ruler! Though there isn't any info on its weight, which I suspect wouldn't be too much, the 4GB CVSJ-1304 has a 1.8 inch touch screen that boosts a resolution of 160 x 128 and supports media formats MP4, MP3, WMA, ASF, and WAV. Other features also include FM tuner, rechargeable battery and USB connectivity. It's hard to believe but it's already on sale for just $39.95, which is round about 20 quid and it seems if you buy more you get an even cheaper deal!

Nokia N78 - The 3G, GPS-equipped candybar cameraphone really wants to be your best-ever travel buddy

Nokia’s latest N-series "multmedia computer" bundles a 3.2-megapixel camera, music player, satnav and maps into a sleek go-anywhere, do-it-all device.

The N78 is certainly a classy looking handset, and the smart touch goes much deeper than its looks. Its sleek, gloss-black front may at first glance resemble the touch-sensitive minimalism of LG’s oft-copied Chocolate series, but in use, all is not as it seems.

To press the illuminated buttons you actually press the plastic casing inwards. The cover bends to accommodate your thumb rather than reacting purely to your touch. It might seem like a low-tech alternative, but in practice it seemed more reliable than the touch-sensitive option, which in our experience can be a bit temperamental.

Nokia’s solution is a good combination of style and practicality. The numeric keypad is actually four raised plastic strips, with the numbers backlit just above them. It looks lovely, but takes a bit of getting used to, and it has to be said that this keypad is far from the best for rapid or prolonged texting.

The face of the phone oozes minimalist class, but strangely, the back feels like its made from low-grade material and creaks in your hand, which detracts from the cool image. There’s another surprise hidden in the square navpad. Rubbing your thumb around the edge activates what Nokia calls the "navi-wheel", which moves the cursor around the screen without the need to press the pad.
