I am always impressed with the marketability of LG’s phone. You can tell right away who LG GD580 is targeting at. From its name “Lollipop” to the dynamic and colorful finish to flashy LED icons; LG GD580 is a demonstration of youthful spirit from head to toe. It can be thought as LG’s answer to Samsung’s tasty Croby. Can Lollipop satisfy our appetite for a fantastic phone or is it just some artificial sweetener that looks better than it actually is?

The phone is wrapped among a battery, a charger, a data cable, a handsfree, a CD ROM and a user’s guide.

The design of the clamshell phone is class. The rather simplistic cover is embellished with LED lighting. It is slim (13.4mm) and light (103.5g) for a flipphone. The phone can absolutely be a perfect piece of accessory.

You have got a 2.8” screen with 240x400 pixel resolution. There is a 1.3MP camera on the inside for you to video-call your buddies.

I am always a fan of flipphone not only because the phone screen is more protected, flip phone allows more room for a spacious keyboard.

The square buttons you see here is the volume rocker. You have eachHere lies the handsfree/cable portal. I am still bothered with the fact that it has no 3.5mm jack. on either side and you also find the data transfer portal here on the left side.

The camera is good one for social occasions. Its wide-screen capability and self-timer is perfect for a party group photo. You have a series of photo-editing tool to fit your creative persona. I am also pleased with the auto sensor that mutes the phone as you reverse it when it rings.

You can access the MicroSD and SIM card slot only when you remove the battery cover. That’s the price to pay when you have such slimness.

Like Corby, you have got really cute theme to match the phone’s youthful character. (Perhaps a little too cute for macho men, but I am sure the cheerleader girlfriends would like them!)

We first encountered the customizable LED front light in LG’s KF350 Ice Cream. However, that of Lollipop is stronger and better. You can choose different flashing patterns for different situations. The illuminated area is bigger to allow more creative outputs.

Other than choosing from the 12 preset icons. You can design your own logos and short motto. I do think it’s interesting.

Other than looking glamorous and catchy, LG Lollipop is a practical phone. It has HSDPA connection which is missing from Samsung Corby, Google Package, video calling, Bluetooth 2.0 and FM tuner. If you are young at heart and want a phone to match your uplifting personality. LG Lollipop will not let you down.

Hey, folks! See what we got in hand? The successor to the XPERIA X1, the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2 with full of industry leading features- the first Windows phone runs Windows Mobile 6.5 and sports 8MP camera with touch focus, bringing Flash support in Internet Explorer Mobile and Microsoft's app store, larger display, new keyboard and navigational keys design. Let’s show you what to expect from the first Windows phone of Sony Ericsson.

In the package, we have the phone, a Battery, a charger, a handsfree, a USB cable, TV-out cable and Manual.

Most of the front of X2 is taken by the 3.2” touch screen which is bigger than the previous ( X1got 3” only), and it's a real fingerprint magnet.

XPERIA X2 is available in two colors: Elegant Black and Modern Silver.

Here is the one in Silver. The 4-row QWERTY keyboard of X2 features a new overall design, which is distinctive in terms of shape and design compared to X1.

Here is the one in Black. We are definitely pleased at the QWERTY keyboard of X2, as it is very responsive. The only thing is that the plastic material doesn't impress at all.

On the top of X2, we find the 3.5mm audio jack which also doubles as a TV-out port. And the power key is just along with it- the same position as on the previous X1.

The back of the X2 is made from stainless steel (actually, it seems like plastic) and is quite immune to fingerprints. It hosts the 8.1MP autofocus camera with LED flash, and the lanyard eyelet is just next to it.

On the left side of the device, you may find the microSD slot. It is only accessible after the removal of the back cover.

The new version of the Internet Explorer Mobile web browser has received a nicer touch-optimized interface and a cooler design. The large optical trackpad on the front panel is providing high level of enjoyment as well when you brows on the web.

For sure, Sony Ericsson is always synonymous with portable media players and cameras. 8.1 MP camera with the Multi Menu packing all the available settings to facilitate the user experience.

The X2 runs on Win6.5 which upgrades the old-school ver. 6.1 with a brand-new and much prettier homescreen- displays all your applications and links to system functions in a honeycomb grid and consists of a scrollable list, as on the iPhone. And The Xpanel interface is still there with 14 panels preloaded on the smartphone and 16 others available for download, including those for Skype, CNN, and Google. With all interface improvements and 8MP camera onboard, the Sony Ericson X2 is the top and high-end Windows-powered handsets which give a good run for you money.

Samsung is always coming back for more. This time, we got Samsung Corby in hand. The entry level touchscreen phone which is tech-savvy and fresh. Undeniably, the colorful and lovely Corby is for youngsters that are keen on technology and those active social networkers. The interchangeable Fashion Jackets are tailor-made for those who like to personalize and customize. Read on to know more.

What’s inside? The Corby, a battery, a charger, a stylus, a data cable, a handsfree set, two extra rear panels and a user’s guide.

The Corby is incredibly compact which measures 103 x 56.5 x 12 mm. The all plastic construction certainly helps it keep its weight at 90 grams. The 2.8" touchscreen is very responsive, which requires only a touch rather than a push to register a click.

On the left side of the phone, it hosts the lanyard eyelet, followed by the volume rocker in the middle and the proprietary connectivity port beneath for plugging in a charger, data cable and headset.

And the right side houses the shutter button and the HOLD key.

These are what Samsung call the Fashion Jackets, and will offer a number of exchangeable panels for the phone. Two exchangeable covers here will be included in the package.

The SIM card slot is under the battery. That’s means you have to remove the battery to insert your SIM card.

The S3650 Corby offers three different homescreen panes that you can alternate by sideways sweeps.

The Corby sports brand new cute little theme designed for young audience. It looks neat and the drawn icons are very cute.

All in all, The S3650 Corby is a simple, affordable and attractive touchscreen with modest. It is small in size which suits the social needs of youngsters and makes them trendy. Its styling perfectly matches with the Fashion Jackets. With fair camera and MP3 player, capacitive touchscreen, cute and neat user interface and the smart design, all these are more than enough to seal the deal.
