March 26, 2008

The LG Disney phone is not cheap at $110 for the unit alone but parents will probably scramble to get a pair (for the parent and at least a child) if only to make sure that they are monitoring their child’s calling and downloading habits.

But the Disney Phone by LG is more than a spy phone as it will also make sure your kid’s safety by allowing emergency numbers to be always “ON” regardless of the restrictions. Among these are your number, your office phone, the number of any family member or friend and of ourse 911.

Parents can easily set the phone restrictions by going to the phone’s Family Center menu. You can set the extent of voice calls, text messaging and other downloads. You will also receive a warning when you child is exceeding the limit.

It also has a GPS loation service which allows you to track down your child without him knowing that you are spying on him. Plus, it has additional features like a 1.3 MP camera, a speakerphone and Bluetooth capability.

LG-SH240 3G Phone If You Want To Touch Skin

March 26, 2008

No, the photo does not advertise a facial or skin-smoothening product. Want to guess again? Of course, it’s about the new LG LG-SH240 3G Phone which literally feels like skin.

Eerie, you might say. But LG has taken the cellphone war too seriously and came up with a cell phone that will not only allow you to make calls but will also allow you to touch its skin although I still do not see the logic behind that feature.

The phone is actually made of metal and silicon materials but the latter was made to imitate the texture of real skin. Thus, you have keypads that feels like real skin.

In case you are the weird type and you like the skin-like texture then you might also be interested to know that the cellphone has a 2 megapixel camera, an MP3, Bluetooth and video call capabilities, subway map and a dictionary (when words fail you!).

The phone is available in Korea for now at $400.

March 25, 2008

The Samsung A517 Phone for AT&T is a mid-range phone that satisfies all the basic requirements for a cell phone but it does not claim to have amazingly new features.

This is a slim clamshell phone measuring 95 x 48 x 16 mm and weighing only 82 grams so it is easy to slid in your purse or even your jeans pocket. Those who usually rely on their phones for the time would nto be disappointed because the external screen has very large numbers that tells you the time.

It has an ordinary 1.3 megapixel camera with zoom lens and video recorder. What makes the A517 more attractive to though is its ability to offer AT&T’s Mobile music which makes music and ringphone downloading possible. The same feature also allows users to transfer and store (via a MicroSD card) data from their digital media collection.

It also boasts of the AT&T video services and Bluetooth wireless technology and a music player.

Samsung’s Bank-Breaking Serenata Music Phone

March 22, 2008

A first glance at the Samsung Serenata Music Phone will confuse you as to its real nature. “Is this a speaker or a phone?”, might as well be your first question when you see this gagdet. Serenata is both.

This very expensive phone at $1600 is however better bought for its music capabilities and the cellphone function is only incidental. It does not have a keypad or a QWERTY keyboard so it is very difficuly to send an MMS.

The sound quality of the phone speakers is however one of the best in town. There should be no doubt about that since the ICEPower amplification of the speaker system is patented by Bang & Olufsen.

You can use it interchangeably as a phone and as a musixc player. Differentiating the two functions is also a breeze since it has a special display effect which makes use of a red light (if the music functions is used) and a blue light (for the phone function).

The music function is also enhanced by the BeoPlayer software which allows you to trasnfer music from your PC to the Serenata phone.

Nokia 3555 Phone For T-Mobile

March 22, 2008

Nokia has released in the first quarter of 2008 a low-end phone to cater to T-Mobile’s candyphone market. It is very affordable at $150 and those who need a basic phone can benefit from Nokia’s user-friendly features.

The phone does not have a lot of features to boast of but it is touted to be capable of supporting the upcomign 3G network of T-Mobile. The problem is, it does not have a front-mounted camera so it can only have a modem only 3G capability. The rear-mounted camera is only .3 megapixel so don’t expect much from that area.

Talk time is also limited at only 3.40 hours. It has an FM radio though so you can at least enjoy a little music while the battery lasts.

Sony Ericsson T303i Slider Phone

March 21, 2008

The new Sony Ericsson T303i Slider Phone is an ordinary phone that has the basic features of well, an ordinary phone. Nothing new or amazing here but perhaps it was made by Sony Ericsson for a specific market that does not require much of their phones except the calling and SMS features.

One of the turn-offs of this phone is its lack of a memory card slot. Thus, the user should make do with the 8MB internal memory which is just enough if you use your phone for nothing much but making and receiving calls.

It is however very compact measuring 83 x 47 x 15 mm and light at 93 grams so it will easily fit in your pocket. It has a mirror glass surface and available in two colors: Shimmering Silver and Shadow Black–both looking glamorous with a chrome metal finish.

It has a 1.3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth technology, a built-in FM radio and a media player (with the TrackID feature of Sony Ericsson).
