Though, the Cyber-shot camera of the phone is not one of the things that will impress you. People looking for a rough-n-tough mobile phone will surely appreciate this compact and appealing option from Sony Ericsson. Design: The initial images of the Sony Ericsson C702 defied with the rugged nature of the phone with a very teeny-bopper sweetie blue externals.

Sony Ericsson W980i might not look attractive to you but for me, it is quite delicious. The square sharp design and the black glossy case makes the latest Walkman look more like dark choclate Tim Tam instead of a future mobile phone. Below the flip, I found a clash of the modern eras, QVGA resolution color pf the phones are put against retro feel, circular, art deco inspired, numeric keys. I showed this gadget to some of my friends and they were pretty impressed by the design. Keys on the Sony Ericsson W980i are spaced evenly and they are located on the bottom half of the phone. Above them, there are the navigation keys. I have often complained about cell phone having keypads that are too small for comfortable use. But this keypad isn’t one of those but you will have to change the way you hold the phone too often in order to reach the bottom and top keys. One impressive feature on the Sony Ericsson W980i is secondary OLED screen located on the front.  [...]

Sagem my220x is a sleek phone with a gold rim and this gives it a menancingly precious look. It is the successor to mp150x which had a price tag of £10. The newer model has a touch screen and it will put you back by £12.49.  Sagem my220x comes with a few shortcomings too like there is no camera and hence you cannot take a look at the pictures inside the phone. The display has 65k color support and some digitized images in wallpaper menu will look fine provided you squint a bit. Sagem my220x doesn’t come with onboard memory and hence you just have the SIM for everything. There is no music player inside either and nor there is space for installing any fancy application of your choice. Other goodies missing here are WAP, Bluetooth and any other medium of transferring data on the handset. I was surprised to see that there is no radio either which means this cellphone has nothing inside for entertainment. If you  [...]
