The all new BlackBerry Curve 9370 is RIM’s one more attempt on concluding their 3-pronged move towards appraising their basic BlackBerry Curve series. This cute little candy bar handset enters the market with only one major enhancement over 9350/9360 handsets in the form of a GSM SIM slot, which allows you to take the handset overseas.
Along with that, the Curve 9370 also has the brand new BlackBerry 7 Operating System and supports NFC (near-field communication), which lets you pair accessories with the handset or read SmartPoster tags. There also is a 5 MP camera. The Curve 9370 clearly is not as advanced as the revised Bold 9930/9900, or for that matter the 9860/9850 and Torch 9810, but if you are a Blackberry fanatic and wants to upgrade your

Windows Phone OS is popular on a lot of mobile phones now but I am yet to see a killer Windows OS phone in the market to date. Samsung Focus S is from AT&T and it is a really beautiful device with a light and thin design. It also has a really gorgeous 4.3 inches Super AMOLED Plus screen, an eight megapixels camera on the back, and a front facing 1.3 megapixels front facing camera.
This might sound familiar to you and that is because the spec list here is the same as that on the Samsung Galaxy S II also from AT&T. These two phones are almost the same and the big difference is the OS inside and physical button for camera. The specs [...]

He also said that there isn’t any other company out there who has managed to collaborate with a fashion brand like they [...]

Samsung DoubleTime is a clamshell phone having white body, dual touch screens, pink accents, and a full QWERTY keyboard. This is a phone from AT&T and the unusual build immediately caught my attention. However, some might agree with me that the best element of this phone is its design. This handset doesn’t have a lot to offer in terms of features or service. I was also disappointed to see that the manufacturer chose to put in Android 2.2 aka Froyo OS in the phone which is outdated. We are currently having Android 2.3 OS. There is a 3.2 megapixels camera which is mediocre but the call quality is pretty good. The price of this phone is $49.99 and it is quite affordable.
The design of the Samsung DoubleTime will be welcomed by people who are bored with the traditional [...]

Samsung Captivate Glide is a phone from AT&T and the manufacturer has attempted here to glue in a QWERTY keyboard with a handset that has impressive specs. When I first took this phone in my hands, I couldn’t believe how light it was. This isn’t the thinnest phone in the market right now but even with its 4 row full QWERTY keyboard, this handset feels quite light as compared to Apple iPhone 4S. The absence of heft is probably due to the plastic body. It helps to keeps ounces off this phone but does not do much to give this handset a sturdy feel in the hand.
Hardware
The battery cover of the Samsung Captivate Glide comes with a nice textured grippy finish. Pull it off and you will see really thin plastic interiors. I was a bit wary of removing or installing [...]

Motorola Admiral is a simple looking phone unlike the attention grabbing and fancy looking Motorola Droid Razr. Admiral isn’t made to turn any heads; it is a phone made for providing working mobile commutation solution. It does its job pretty well and the call quality and performance too is impressive.
Motorola Admiral has an ergonomic and durable design which I really liked and it can withstand dust, solar radiation, shock, low pressure, vibration, low/high temperatures, and it is also one of the first handsets from Sprint to support push-to-talk on the CDMA network. The price of this phone is $100 after a rebate and 2 year contract and I would recommend this phone to anyone who is looking for a functional and low maintenance handset.
The Motorola Admiral [...]

HTC Rezound is one of the hottest Android phones to come to Verizon Wireless, the other 2 being Samsung Galaxy Nexus and the super thin Motorola Droid Razr. There is plenty to choose from for the Verizon customers; all the three handsets are top class with dual core chips inside and they also support Verizon 4G LTE network. The feature inside is mouth watering.
HTC Rezound is the first handset to have support for Beats Audio Technology. It was developed by HTC after purchasing majority stake in the Dr. Dre Beats Electronics. This handset ships along with pair of the Beats Audio earbuds which cost around $100. When you plug this set inside the Rezound, the phone recognizes it instantly and you get to boost sound through special Beats Audio algorithm.
HTC Rezound is a pretty [...]

LG Marquee is a phone having fashionable and good looks. The price of this phone too is affordable. For me, this is one of the best Android phones from Sprint and I would heavily recommend it to you if you don’t need 4G.
LG Marquee comes with a four inches Nova screen and it has WVGA resolution of 800x480 pixels with support for 16 million colors. Below the screen, there are four standard Android short cut buttons for Search, Back, Menu, and Home. The arrangement of buttons here is a bit different to that on Optimus Black. On the left side of the Marquee, there is volume rocker buttons close to it; there is the customizable short cut button. Top of the phone has screen lock/power button, microUSB port and 3.5 mm headphones jack. Above the screen, there is a front facing [...]
