We Review Phones

What is the company that you think about when you think cell phones?  For me – it is all about Samsung; however a newer company named Casio seems to be taking the show with the brand new Casio IT-800 RGC-35 Rugged PDA.  This is a PDA cell phone that is actually pretty neat looking and has a 3.7-inch VGA display along with a low-reflection touch panel screen, which is pretty awesome.

Some other specs on this particular phone include the high speed 3G wireless WAN (HSDPA) capability as standard feature. What makes the Casio IT-800 RGC-35 more interesting is that it supports IP54-rated dust/splash proof and can withstand being dropped on concrete from a height of 1.5 meters.

This phone also is packed with tons of other features, but you are going to have to look them up!

The HTC Touch Pro2 was recently released for popular T-Mobile, as well as Verizon and Sprint. Among its many offerings, it has a 3.2 megapixel camera, as well as what is considered to be a revolutionary dual speaker, dual microphone technology called Straight Talk, idea for conference calling in a number of different settings.

The handset uses Mobile 6.5 from Microsoft Windows, so there are plenty of features which are touted as being business friendly. Indeed, you can both view and edit Office documents, you can read email with PDF attachments, you can follow threaded instant messages and emails from as many as five different accounts, you can create presentations, you can check the stocks, and any number of other things.

As well you should, since the phone costs about two hundred dollars, and only then if you get it with service from one of the three providers mentioned.

The Portege G810 by Toshiba is gaining some serious attention. Thus far, it seems that reviewers and users love its colorful menus and its large touch screen. They also love the fact that Windows Mobile is hiding beneath all of those features.

Of course, there is always a bit of bad news. One piece of bad news, in this case, is that it is unlikely that the Toshiba Portege G810 will be seen in the United States any time soon.

This is unfortunate, because by all accounts Toshiba has gone a long way towards making sure Windows Mobile will adapt to the users of the phone. This was no doubt a feat, since Windows Mobile 6 is not known for being the best interface in terms of being touch friendly.

Philips is a company that is known for their electronics.  They make everything from TVs all the way to phones now and I think that the Philips brand is actually one that I could trust to produce some quality phones.  That is why I am so excited to announce that Philips is coming out with two brand new touchscreen phones!  The X806 and the C702!

These two phones are absolutely incredible and packed with everything! The X806 offers a 3.5-inch 240 x 400 TFT display, a 5MP camera, a 47MB of internal memory, a microSD card slot, an FM radio, Bluetooth and supports quad-band GSM/GPRS connectivity. Meanwhile, the C720 is a CDMA 1X phone that features a 3.4-inch QVGA display, a 1.3MP camera, GPS, a 70MB of internal memory, a microSD card slot and Bluetooth connectivity.

All of that in two phones?  It truly is incredible and while we don’t have pricing yet, I’m sure that the phones should be coming out here soon!
