Qtek 9000 / o2 XDA / SPV M5000

Advantages: inbuilt Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
Disadvantages: very slow, low battery life when wifi and bluetooth are turned on

...processor and this runs pocket pc 2003 excellently. If you are considering spending alot of money on a windows smart phone like this one then i would recommend the O2 XDA mini / MDA Vario. I tried the XDA mini out in an o2 shop recently and it was brilliant, the operating system is slightly different to that of the Qtek 9000 and it runs alot smoother! Another disadvantage of this phone / PDA is that, when the screen is flipped up and the phone is in the shape of a laptop computer, typing is ok when the phone is in your hand, but when you get an option on the screen, you have to take one hand off the phone and reach to the back of the phone for the stylus, so that you can tap the option on the screen. I find this extremely fiddly and annoying, but when you flip the screen around and use it like a normal PDA, then you can use the stylus alot...

Samsung E900

Advantages: Style
Disadvantages: Not an iPhone (Isn't packed with features), Processing noise

...I bought my Samsung E900 a few years ago now for around £80. I wasn't looking for anything fancy and this phone was exactly that - quite good looking with pretty basic features. ~~~ Looks / Style ~~~ I was looking through a catalogue at all the various phones and this appeared to be one of the best looking without being too expensive. When I finally got it I was just as pleased with it looking at it for real as I was when looking at it in the catalogue. It has a shiny black finish, which can show fingerprints quite clearly and the overall look and feel of the phone is smooth. When you don't touch it for a few seconds it basically just looks like a black box with a silver button in the middle. ~~~ Ease of Use ~~~ My main use for the phone is for texting. It's very easy to that on this phone, because you can...

Slim D900

Advantages: camera, user friendly
Disadvantages: erm none

...Firstly I would like to say I own the O2 exclusive Chrome Samsung D900. Ok now for the review, i will try to lay it out in sections to make it easy to read and understand; 1. Looks- Until recently the looks of a phone was not my top concern, I was more interested in what the thing could actually do!! Well as I mentioned before I have the chrome version of this phone, I didn't like it when I seen the looks of it in the shop.. but now it has grown on me and I love it. It is not a cheap look.. it looks very professional and expensive (but then.. isn't it?). I cant fault the looks at all. Dark back, shiny chrome front.. grey keypad (well its the closest colour I can relate it to.. a very dark grey.. nice.) and white writing on the buttons with the exception of the answer and end call buttons. Under the screen is a shiny reflective...

Samsung E900

Advantages: Good features
Disadvantages: Been said to not have good durability

...I basicly brought this phone as a cheaper alternitive to the D900 but having said that it is not a bad phone. Sleek in style and did have all the features in a phone that I was looking for, it is not really that different to the D900 apart from it's mermory cap and the fact that the touch key pad is sentive to the touch and juring use of the phone the canel button or call button can be easily caught by accident making over all useage abit of a challenge, texting is mostly what I find difficult as brushing your finger over the cancel button will delete some writen text if not all, thankfully it will not call out if it is in your pocket as the phone will not operate unless it is fully open, it doent have a key lock as such but is key locked if the phone is shut. Camera is good quality for a 2 MP and I am pleased with my pictures...

Samsung E900

Advantages: Stylish design. Easy to use. Simple menus. Takes good photos/video. Sliding mechanism works well.
Disadvantages: Accidental button presses. Light remains on when charging. Vibrates too much when battery is dying.

...The Samsung E900 is a very stylish looking phone, it measures 93x45x16.5 mm, so it is very slim and lightweight, and it is barely noticeable in your pocket. I have mine in black but it also comes in pink, gold and silver I believe. The user interface is intuitive and the menu structure is easily navigated. Having expected to have to sit there for hours to get used to navigating new menus, I was pleasantly surprised to find that everything appeared to be where it should be, making the E900 an easy phone to get used to, and use to its full potential. It comes equipped with a 2MP, 4x digital zoom camera with flash, which can also record video with sound. The camera does take very nice photos, and there are a whole host of settings available to alter the type of picture you're taking e.g. Picture size, Picture quality, ISO. More than...

LG KM900 Arena - An iPhone Rival

Advantages: Good camera, small and light phone. QWERTY keyboard for texting
Disadvantages: Screen switches itself off after too short a time

...I recently upgraded to my new LG KM900 Arena from my current LG KF600 Venus after a bit of an argument with my (now) former provider. I got a great deal from Orange so I'm now the proud owner of the Arena. It's a candybar phone with a completely touch screen interface. I was a bit wary about not having a keypad but this phone is very responsive and I haven't had any trouble so far. My phone has a screen protector on it so it doesn't get scratched and this hasn't affected the way the phone responds to touch. It has the unique 'S-class' interface which has four different screens - the widget screen which is completely customizable, the contacts screen which displays your favourite contacts, the shortcut screen which is again customizable to your own choice and the multimedia screen which displays your favourite tracks...

Samsung D900

Advantages: Great Camera & MP3 abaility
Disadvantages: None

...I have owned the Samsung D900 for just over a year now and I have to say in my opinion this handset is one of the very best currently available on the market. To start with the phone looks sleek and stylish, is extremely light and slim with a basic slide function. This phone is equipped with all sorts of features, some of which I have even yet to use myself! One of the best features is the camera which I have to say takes quite stunning and clear pictures - somewhat of a surprise to me given my previous experiences with mobile phone cameras! The handset also has the basic functions (i.e. caller display, predictive text, calender etc) that you would find on most phones these days. The other main feature to appeal to me is the MP3 music option. The phone itself doesn't have a massive memory but will hold quite a few songs and there is...

Review of Samsung SGH D900

Samsung D900

Advantages: Memory card slot, camera, MP3
Disadvantages: Text message tones

...After reading a lot of reviews when trying to buy a new phone recently, I finally settled on the D900 on the recommendation of a friend, and I'm glad I did. It's sleek and stylish and packed with many features which I'm still discovering nearly 3 months on. The design itself is very nice, and it's easy to handle. The key pad is nicely spaced out, the only downside being the lip at the bottom of the pad - people with bigger hands may find using the bottom 3 numbers a problem. Texting is an easy thing to master (I've had motorola phones and have found the transition pretty simple) as well as changing the settings on your phone to suit your needs. The best option the phone has to be the addition of a memory card slot, this allows you to add a huge amount of songs for the built in MP3 player - of which the sound is of a high...
