Samsung i8910 Omnia HD is revolutionary. It will go down in history as the first mobile phone to have HD recording technology, putting even some of the camcorders to shame. It is not just a one trick pony though, the specs sheet is ecstatically featureful: 8MP camera, 3.7” AMOLED screen, an extremely compatible media player, WiFi and HSDPA connection, Symbian S60 5th Edition… The list goes on. Don’t feel guilty if you feel the urge to press the Add Cart button now!

You find in the package the phone, a battery, a charger, a stereo handsfree, a data cable and a user’s guide.

i8910 Omnia HD comes with an omnipresent 3.7” AMOLED screen. It is sensible for Samsung to have as enormous a screen as possible because you want every detail of the HD clips to be seen clearly. Convenience is the buzzword for telecommunication nowadays. The long customizable list of widgets at the homescreen of i8910, inherited from earlier models like Pixon and UltraTOUCH, can best exemplify that.

An in-built memory of 8GB and an expandable memory up to 32GB with MicroSD. It guarantees enough space for your HD videos.

On the right side lie the hold key, camera shutter and the USB port.

At the bottom are the mouth piece, half of the speakerphone construction and the 3.5mm audio jack

The plastic battery cover is a fingerprint collector, but the fact that the camera lens is left uncovered is even worse. I wish Samsung had been more considerate. The camera is worthy of attention: 8 magepixel with LED that can be used in Video Recording, auto-focus, face/smile/blink detection and of cause the HD 24fps video recording. I have to agree with the Samsung ads that the video quality is superior.

Like other Symbian S60 V5.0 handsets (5800 XpressMusic, Nokia N97), the interface is very user friendly. You can choose between list or grid view of menu.

GPS and MySpace are on board.

Auto-rotation is made possible by accelerator for better playback of videos and pictures. It is best for motion-enabled 3D games.

Samsung i9810 Omnia HD has surely got my vote. The deep black color is a good match for the sophisticated phone. Ground breaking HD recording still has me gaping. The monstrous media player supporting an array of formats including Xvid, DivX would not disappoint you. Symbian S60 V5.0 offers simple and smooth operation. Don’t you wanna add it to your cart?

Just by looking at the price of Nokia N97, I am sure you know what to anticipate. The latest offspring of Nokia N-series is a what-you-would-see-in-the-hand-of-James-Bond device powered by Symbian S60 OS. Heavily loaded with latest features, Nokia N97makes sure what you pay is what you get.

The package is loaded as well, beside the phone, you get a battery, a stereo headset, a travel charger, a data cable, an audio controller, an external stylus, a pouch, a, cleaning cloth, a user’s guide and three-month subscription of Nokia Maps.

If you are fans of widescreen phones, you are destined to love N97. The 3.5-inch touchscreen is dominating the front of the phone, leaving only the call, end call and menu buttons lying on the edge. The phone feels hefty. (It seems that the touchscreen phone with QWERTY keyboard nowadays cannot avoid heftiness, just look at HTC Touch Pro 2). It may not please those who are looking for a slim and light phone.

I love the home screen which accommodates widgets that you can customize to fit your taste. The accelerator is responsive. When you slide open the phone, the screen changes to horizontal view without any hitch.

The D-pad is relocated to accompany the keypad. The d-pad is made rubberish material which makes it not as intuitive and thumb-friendly.

The keys are satisfactorily spaced which allows accurate typing with big thumbs like mine

The tilted screen is smooth for sliding but the hinge feels kind of wearable and flimsy. Let’s finger cross it is only my paranoia.

On the hinge you will see a list showing off the highlights of the phone, quoted, “32GB/AF 5MP Carl Zeiss/ nHD3.5”/ A-GPS/ Bluetooth 2.0/ WLAN/ 3G HSDPA/ USB2.0/ FM RDS”.

On the other side, you will find the USB 2.0 socket for recharging and data transfer.

The external stylus looks like a USB flash drive. It is unconventional but unnecessarily “big”.

The back looks sophisticated with a sanded surface that makes it less slippery.

The camera is a Carl Zeiss endorsed 5 megapixeller with auto focus, Dual LED flash, 4x Digital Zoom and tones of adjustments that you can explore.

The phone comes with a 32GB in-built memory and an expandable 16GB by MicroSD

The nylon pouch looks cheap period.

This is the grid view of the menu. Makes sure you check out the application, there’s a whole world in there.

Every phone now has gotta have Facebook application. I mean, it is Facebook for everyone sake!!!!

All in all, Nokia N97 is superb function-wise. The operation is sinfully smooth, the connection is guiltily fast. It delivers just like the Nokia brand promises. However, the design and build is not at Nokia’s best

Sharp reveals its new GSM clamshell phone-SH6010C. It’s a bit surprise that the company hasn’t released a new GSM handset for quite some time. The first impression of Sharp should be: Made in Japan. But this time unfortunately, this is a joint venture of China and the Japanese Brand Company. However, still keeps its Japanese style with the same design of the one hitting the streets of Japan.

It comes with a battery, a charger, a data cable, a stereo handsfree, CD and a user’s guide.

With stainless steel body, the SH6010C looks sleek and grand. This time, it lack of the distinctive features of the previous Sharp’s devices: the rotating screen. But the simple and neat design advanced a new aesthetic theory.

Flip open, the 2.6” screen display and the keyboard match pretty well. Just in the right size, not too big or too small.

Just same as other Japanese phones. The keyboard is regular and in neat design. The quality and sensitivity are both very good.

On the left top of the phone, you may find the MicroSD slot.

The Handsfree slot located at the right bottom of the phone.

Here’s the back of the phone.You may find the front and back of the phone are really plain. They cut all the tricky design and keep simple. (Oh no! no flash here.)

And the attractive feature of the SH6010C here is a small external monochrome display that has been embedded on its back near the 3.2 megapixel camera. It can show the date and time.

The English phone menu. Just like the one in LG device.

It supports for Bluetooth only. It can be only work on GPRS for going online.

The outlook of the SH6010C is excellence. Smart, simple...but lack of playful and powerful function as SonyEricsson or HTC did. It has the basic multimedia capabilities like the normal phone such as MPEG 4 support; music player for various formats such as AAC, AMR, MP3 and so on. Sometimes, the most useful things do come in tiny packages. I think the fashion style of the phone has already worth the price, isn’t it?
