Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Android Phone (AT&T) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)-Even with a brilliant huge 4" display, it feels really comfortable and light in hand thanks to its very sleek design.
-8.1 MP camera is one of the best you can find on smartphones.
-Android market has all the apps I need - love it.
-Its music player simply rocks. Stock headphone delivers clean and crisp bass -which is quite a rarity. Watching youtube and other videos on it over 3G/wifi is really an awesome experience.
-Android 1.6 works just fine for me as I'm used to +/- zooming. And because of the big high resolution display, I don't have to zoom that often. I will probably not buy anything with smaller display again. It's so much fun to browse on a 4" display.
-Battery life is above the average. If you use your 'smartphone' quite often every day, you've to plug it in every night anyway.
-Its trademark features timescape and mediascape are really interesting. They put together all my daily and social activities in one single place.
Overall, I'm very satisfied with this phone.

Palm Treo 750 Smartphone (AT&T) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got my Treo 750 this week as a replacement for a Blackberry 8700c, which I really liked. My company is heading away from BB and towards Windows Mobile technology, so here I am.
I should say, too, that I've had pretty much every flavor of BB ever made, as well as an Ipaq, Treo 650, Cingular 8125 and many others. I had concluded that for a business user who needs 100% reliable e-mail, and uses the Internet and text messaging a fair amount, the BB 8700 was by far the most reliable way for me.
So as I make the transition from 8700 to 750, here is my list (not too long at this point) of likes and dislikes:
1. The Treo 750 comes new in the box without a holster, belt clip or carrying case of any kind. Unless you want to carry it in your pocket, automatically add $30 to the cost of the phone. Thanks, Cingular.
2. Battery life is not good on the 750. I send and receive well over 100 e-mail messages a day, and my phone usage and Internet use varies. I could go two days without charging my BB, and even given my usage patterns, seldom ran out of battery power.
Yesterday I flew from Chicago to Los Angeles and caught a connecting flight to Palm Springs. The point is, I had the 750 turned off for at least five hours during the day. I took it off the charger at about 6 a.m. Chicago time yesterday morning, and, even after being turned off for five hours, by 6 p.m. Chicago time yesterday afternoon the battery was almost dead.
Buying a spare battery ($30 to $50) seems like a decent solution, but devices that charge the battery only (while it's not on the phone) are hard to find for this phone, and will cost around $50. So the logistics of getting two batteries recharged over night are not that simple - primarily because if you don't have a phone-independent battery charger, you will have to change the battery in the phone every day in order to get two batteries charged. And if you forget to charge the second one, you have potential problems the next day.
As an alternative, you can keep the phone tethered to your computer or on the AC charger (have to have one or the other with you at all times) during the day, and/or buy a car charger, about $20 (if you'll be in the car). But if you're just out and about, battery life will be a significant issue for many.
3. The display is pretty good. But brightness and readability of the screen while outside is an issue. Anyone who's had a BB 8700 knows how easy it is to read that screen outside. The Treo 750 takes a big step backward by comparison.
4. Push e-mail reliability. For phones other than BBs, my company uses Good technology for interfacing with Outlook. Getting e-mail on my previous phones (Treo 650, Cingular 8125, etc.) that used Good Link was not reliable - I constantly had to use the "send/receive now" function to make sure my e-mail was up to date.
So far so good with the 750. I have gotten my e-mails reliably so far - it seems as good as my 8700.
5. Windows Mobile OS. One frequent complaint I hear about with Windows Mobile phones is that they lock up and need to be reset (soft or hard) frequently. Again, so far, so good for the 750. I did reset it yesterday because it went totally mute on me - no beeps, no notification sounds, no ringer on the phone! And no, I did not accidentally set the ringer switch to silent. After I reset it, all the sounds worked again. It's too early to tell whether this will be a persistent problem.
That's about all that comes to mind right now. I hope this helps anyone make up their mind about moving to this phone, especially if you would be leaving a BB 8700 behind.
So far, my regrets are minor, and I plan on learning to love this phone once I figure out how to deal with the battery problem. Good luck with yours.

The Palm Treo 750 boasts all the legendary features of the previous Treo smartphones, plus a whole lot more. Now with WCDMA 3G data capabilities, stereo Bluetooth, and an internal antenna, the 750 puts Palm once again on the cutting edge of smartphone technology. With features like the Windows Mobile 5 operating system, a QWERTY keyboard, a 1.3 megapixel camera, a miniSD memory card slot, and voice control, simply put, the 750 is the ultimate mobile office companion, and the perfect complement to Cingular Wireless service.
Design Under the hood, the Treo 750 features the Windows Mobile 5 operating system and 60 MB of internal memory. The design retains the same popular form factor and QWERTY keyboard as other Treo phones, but with a few subtle, yet significant, changes. The external antenna has been tucked away, and the unit's camera has been dramatically upgraded to 1.3 megapixels. The 750 has been on a diet too--weighing in at only 5.40 ounces, the 750 is one of the lightest Treo phones ever released.
On top of the unit you'll find an expansion slot for SD and MMC-based memory cards, and there's also an infrared port here for line-of-sight data transfers, as well as a handy switch for turning off the phone's ringer. Below the amazingly clear 240 x 240 color touch screen, you'll find a five-way navigator that controls most of the phone's menus and operating system functions, while quick application buttons on either side of the navigator will get you to your favorite applications in a snap. The left side of the unit features a volume up/down toggle plus a handy user-customizable button that can be assigned to any phone or PDA function. The rear of the Treo 750 houses a loudspeaker, as well as the camera unit. A touch-screen stylus can be tucked away on the right side of the phone. Meanwhile, a combined charging, data, and accessory attachment port is housed on the bottom of the unit, as is a standard 2.5 mm stereo headset jack.
Calling and PDA FeaturesAll of the Treo 750's phone and PDA functions are designed to provide an integrated, seamless experience. For instance, you can type in the name or initials of a contact on the keypad to dial them. Or, use the touch-screen and stylus to copy information from an email and quickly paste it into another email or text message. You can even use Microsoft Office Outlook Mobile, a feature that combines email, calendar, contacts, tasks, and notes into a single application.
Staying productive on the road is made possible by the Microsoft Office Mobile suite, which includes Word Mobile, Excel Mobile, and PowerPoint Mobile. Meanwhile, the File Explorer application makes it easy to browse the files on your Treo 750.
All of the latest phone features folks expect are built-in, too, like a handsfree speakerphone, polyphonic ringtones, a vibrate mode and picture caller ID. The 750 comes stock with unique ringtones built right into the unit, and more ringtones can be downloaded from Cingular Wireless' MEdia Net service. The capacity of the unit's address book is only limited by the amount of internal and expansion memory available. Use the Treo 750's Bluetooth capability to wirelessly sync your contacts with your PC. Headsets, car kits and other wireless peripherals can also be paired with the unit via Bluetooth.
The unit's memory expansion slot allows you to transfer music, photos, and video from your desktop. Or, use it to load additional games and applications.
Messaging, Internet, and EntertainmentThe device fully supports MMS messaging for rapid exchange of pictures, text and video via Cingular's instant messaging system. The Treo 750's Web browser supports full-size web pages, and you can enter secure pages with 128-bit SSL encryption. POP3 email accounts provided by SBC, BellSouth, Yahoo, Earthlink, Comcast and AT&T Worldnet are all compatible with the 750's email client application. IMAP and Exchange-based email systems are also supported, and you can view photos, HTML, Word, Excel and PowerPoint attachments. With WCDMA/UMTS support built right into the phone, you'll be streaming and downloading at speeds so fast your head will spin.
The 750 also sports an airplane mode, which allows you to safely use the non-wireless functions of a phone (such as music, games or organizer functions) on an airplane during flight.
Vital Statistics The Palm Treo 750 weighs 5.40 ounces and measures 4.37 x 2.28 x 0.87 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 4.5 hours of digital talk time, and up to 240 hours of digital standby time. It features UMTS with HSDPA capability and runs on the GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 and WCDMA 850/1900/2100 frequencies. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.

Pantech Impact P7000 Phone, Pink (AT&T) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have three complaints with this phone. First problem - The camera you are unable to use the camera with the phone closed you must open it. Then your finger will be on the lens so it's awkward holding the phone while taking a picture or shooting video. Second problem - if you want to listen to the mp3 player you have to buy a headset designed for this phone due to the type of input required. Third problem - the touch screen is too sensitive and difficult to use I'm constantly pressing the wrong key then have to delete and start over. I have tried adjusting key sensitivity but I believe that's for the qwerty keyboard inside. I pretty much like everything else about the phone. It has very good, clear reception and the qwerty keyboard buttons are larger than on most blackberry models real useful for texting.

Pantech Duo - Smartphone - 3G - WCDMA (UMTS) / GSM - slider / dual - Windows Mobile - AT&T Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I dropped my iphone in the sink, it sunk, and since a new version comes out in a month, I had to get something to tide me over---so I took a chance on the dreaded Microsoft and an often panned Pantech Duo. I've had it two weeks now and I have to say: this was a lucky find.
First of all, this is not a flimsy phone as has been reported. With two sliding keyboards (much like a magic trick!), it is amazingly solid. The screen is extremely bright and vivid.The QUERTY keyboard is small, but way better than a touch screen, however, there is almost no sense of feedback, so you still have to be careful.
Phone-wise, it sounds very good to me, and gets signal where Iphone couldn't. It has a bounty of software, including To-Do and various versions of OFFICE.3G internet access is pretty fast, nothing compared to a good laptop on a DSL, but usable.
I like that it is very easy to change ringers, from silent to normal to vibrate.The camera is just ok, but I don't really count on my phone to serve as my photographic equipment.
It's a little chunky, but its other dimensions are quite small.
All in all, I haven't seen a phone out there without a touch screen which is better. The ATT tilt is way bigger and heavier, and has no mechanical buttons for dialing.
I think most people would enjoy this phone. It does not sync with a Mac, by the way, unless you buy 3rd party software.Aside from that, it's a winner for me.

LG Shine CU720 - Cellular phone - 3G - WCDMA (UMTS) / GSM - slider - AT&T Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I waited about 3 weeks for this phone but it was well worth it. I was overdue for an equipment upgrade via AT&T but I really couldn't find a phone with style and function until I came upon the Shine. It's not a very popular phone and I decided to take a chance.
I know it's hard to tell the size by just looking at pictures but to give you a comparison, I had the first gen black razor. The shine basically has the same width, and height dimensions only it's a wee bit thicker but not by much at all. I was so used to the compact size of the razor that I didn't want a bulky smartphone.
This phone has some weight to it, which by my standards gives me the feeling of a quality phone and not made of cheap plastic. Hopefully this will last me at least until my next upgrade.
Navigation with the joystick takes some time to get used to, but the good thing about it is, you do really need to give it a firm push downwards to select. I haven't come across an issue where I wanted to go left, right, up or down and the joystick input it as a mistake "push/select."
I wish you could come up with your own quick options with the joystick instead of what is pre-programmed already. i.e. toggle up and you get a new message for texting. That really doesn't make sense because you have to slide open the phone? Go right and you get your AIM/Yahoo Mess. log on options. I will probably never use this feture. Down is your phone book and left is "my stuff." You do have control to customize 12 quick access options with the soft key on the right which somewhat makes up for not being able to customize the joystick.
One issue I read was the mirror finish of the screen during the daytime. Yes, it is harder to see and to read your screen in direct sunlight but cupping your hand to shade the screen shouldn't deter one from such a flaw. I had the same visibility issues with my razor as well.
When your phone rings you don't need to slide it open, you can just press the soft key on the left that says "accept." The problem I have is after I finish with the call, I feel somewhat lost in a sense that I'm used to either 1. closing the phone to end the call or 2. pressing an 'end' button. The shine's display turns off after a few seconds and it's a mirror finish so when I'm done talking I look at the phone and think, "How do I end this call??" Basically, I have learned you just let the other person end the call and you do not have to do anything.
AT&T's media is okay but the screen's resolution isn't that great at all. I think it's a good option to have if you are bored in a waiting room or to kill some time, but the picture quality isn't anywhere near that of an iphone. It's very choppy. Browsing the web on G is pretty fast for checking sports scores. I found that it came in handy.
I would highly suggest a clearshield or some sort of cover/protector to prevent scratches on the screen and the back metal plate. I have heard that if you get scratches on the front screen it shows up A LOT with the mirror finish.
Ringtones absolutely SUCK. I find that ringtone volume is loud enough. The vibe feature is very strong. Cool feature -- you can opt to have a lady SPEAK the numbers dialed instead of beeps. Something a little different. The keypad is cramped and I do hit several buttons while texting.
Even though I pointed out a lot of small flaws with this phone, I still like it A LOT MORE than my razr. Would be awesome if it had a qwerty keyboard as well. Overall, a solid phone. Can't beat it for the price either.

LG Xenon GR500 - Cellular phone - 3G - WCDMA (UMTS) / GSM - touch / slide-out keyboard - red - AT&T Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This has the potential to be a great phone. Love the form factor, touch screen, keyboard, light weight.
However, it has a fatal flaw: the touchscreen is too fragile for use. The first day we owned it, the screen cracked on the inside. The outside of the phone has no scratches or scuffs whatsoever, and we did not drop or otherwise damage the phone. When trying to resolve the issue with AT&T, the logic is wonderfully circular: "the phone worked when it left the store, so if the screen is cracked it must be your fault". As a result, they will not take it back.
Do not buy this phone unless you buy the insurance and are willing to pay the deductible to replace it.

Sony Ericsson W580i Urban Grey Phone (AT&T) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A long-time Motorola phone user now converted. Not only is this phone lightweight and amazing looking, it's feature packed.
Pros:
- Crystal-clear calling. No static and loud when needed.
- The screen is amazing. The resolution is awesome. By far the best I've ever seen on a phone this size.
- This phone is tiny; in a good way. Super-slim and tucks nicely in your pocket. Being that it's a slider, you'll never have to worry about pocket-dialing. :)
- The software is very easy to navigate. This is nicely improved over the Motorola interface of my older RAZR.
- The MP3 player rocks; no pun intended. The Walkman software lets you sort by Artists, Albums, Tracks, Playlists and more. This is light-years ahead of the my old RAZR's MP3 player. This one rivals any standalone MP3 device I've used.
- The stereo headphones that comes with it include a 3.5mm adapter. While the included headphones sound great, this adapter gives you the flexibility to use your Bose, Shure or other stereo headphones. A very nice option.
- Carbon grey and anodized blue color is slick; nothing else like it. The back side of the phone, when in the up position, is where the anodized blue metal is. Amazon doesn't show a photo of it. It is stunning.
- Unlike "some" other sliders, the camera is protected and kept under cover when the slide is closed. This works great in keeping dust off the lens.
- The 2.0MP camera is actually pretty good. It takes great outdoor photos.
- I LOVE the fitness/step counter. It measures distance in steps and calculated miles along with the calories you've burned. It also keeps a daily average and each days results.
Cons:
- No 3G
- Sony Proprietary Memory Stick Micro M2 versus easy to find and less expensive MicroSD
- No LED Flash or Photo Light
In conclusion, if you are looking for a super-slim phone with great call quality and superb music capability, look no further. This Sony wears the Walkman name with pride.
UPDATE 9/27/07: I bought a SanDisk SDMSM2-4096-A11M 4GB Memory Stick Micro (M2) and it works perfectly. 4GB of music!!!
