Palm Treo Pro Review(w/ video) November 17, 2009
Posted by strengthfreakz in New Phone Reviews, Palm Devices.add a comment
The good: The Palm Treo Pro features a sleek design that combines a full QWERTY keyboard and touch screen. The smartphone ships with Internet Explorer 6 and offers full connectivity options, including EV-DO Rev. A support and GPS.
The bad: The Treo Pro’s QWERTY keyboard is cramped, and we wish the screen was slightly bigger. The smartphone can occasionally be sluggish. Though IE Mobile 6 brings some improvements, it’s still cumbersome compared with some other mobile browsers.
The bottom line: The Palm Treo Pro for Sprint offers plenty of features and satisfactory performance, but the carrier’s business customers will get a better user experience from the HTC Touch Pro.
Palm Pre Review(w/video) November 17, 2009

The good: The Palm Pre’s multitasking capabilities and notifications system are unparalleled. The smartphone features a vibrant display with multitouch functionality as well as a solid Web browser and good multimedia integration. The Pre offered good call quality and wireless options include 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS.
The bad: The Pre’s keyboard is cramped. Battery life drains quickly, and the smartphone can be sluggish at times. Lacks expansion slot, video-recording capabilities, onscreen keyboard, and Flash support. The Pre App Catalog is still in beta with a limited number of titles.
The bottom line: Despite some missing features and performance issues that make it less than ideal for on-the-go professionals, the Palm Pre offers gadget lovers and consumers well-integrated features and unparalleled multitasking capabilities. The hardware could be better, but more importantly, Palm has developed a solid OS that not only rivals the competition but also sets a new standard in the way smartphones handle tasks and manage information.

Samsung Behold II review November 17, 2009
Posted by strengthfreakz in New Phone Reviews, Samsung Device.add a comment
First announced at CTIA Fall 2009, the Samsung Behold II is Samsung’s second Android device for the U.S. market (the Samsung Moment being the first) and T-Mobile’s fourth Android offering. Based on the Samsung Galaxy Lite, the Behold II tries to set itself apart from the crowd with a AMOLED display, Samsung’s TouchWiz interface, and enhanced multimedia capabilities. The touch screen is certainly a stunner, multimedia performance is tops, and general performance is solid. However, the TouchWiz interface doesn’t really add much to the user experience and in fact, at times, hinders it. Also, the smartphone runs Android 1.5, which makes its $229.99 street price really hard to swallow, considering that you can get the Motorola Droid with Android 2.0 for $199.99 from Verizon.
All that said, for T-Mobile customers looking for a more powerful multimedia smartphone than the carrier’s current lineup of Android devices, the Samsung Behold II is probably your best choice. However, the high price tag is going to be the biggest barrier for getting the smartphone to reach the masses. The Samsung Behold II will be available starting November 18. (more…)

By now, you’ve probably seen the TV commercials featuring Ozzy Osbourne and his new personal assistant, the Samsung Jack. The Jack is the successor to the Samsung BlackJack series and aside from the name change, the Windows Mobile smartphone brings an updated look and some feature enhancements, including a faster processor and better camera. The Jack also includes the staple productivity apps and e-mail capabilities to satisfy the needs of the busy individual and delivered excellent phone quality during our tests. All of this is made even more attractive by the Samsung Jack’s $99.99 price tag (with a two-year contract). However, when compared with AT&T’s other $100 messaging smartphone, the Nokia E71x, we have to say we slightly favored the E71x over the Samsung Jack for its design. The Jack’s keyboard and overall feel was a bit too slick for our liking and Samsung’s use of proprietary ports is annoying. They’re minor issues but something to consider. The Samsung Jack is available now from AT&T. (more…)
