LG KS360 Unlocked Phone with 2 MP Camera, Bluetooh Stereo and MP3, Video Player--International Version with No Warranty (Pink) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)i ordered it, it came in how many ever days it said it would come, it came brand new as it said it would and im enjoying the phone very much.
its small, cheap, and very easy to use. there's no new technology to it like android or something, its all the basics on the menu but it's got a full QWERTY keyboard. texting is incredibly easier with this phone and much more enjoyable, its also probably one of the smallest full QWERTY keyboard phones there are,
i hope this helped!

Sony Clie PEG-UX50 Handheld Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had an older Sony Clie for a few years. I was thoroughly impressed with that one. It served me well. I then had to replace it, and was solidly leaning toward another Sony product. The features of the UX50 series impressed me very much. But it does have some shortcommings.
Pros:
* Small size. Without a doubt, this is a great unit that fits nicely in my shirt pocket.
* Beautiful screen. It is clear and bright. It is a bit smaller than the older unit, but it is perfectly legible.
* Lots of internal memory. This means I can record a bunch of voice memo's or quick low-res pics from the built in camera w/o using a memory stick.
* Toolbar. There is a little toolbar along the side next to the silk to pull up commonly used features quickly. (like clock, speaker and memory stick media info)
* Built in Keyboard. I love it. It even has a backlight. Not too difficult to use, unlike smaller kbds on other units. The keys are slightly raised.
* Landscape working environment. The "silk" is along the side, and when not being used, the silk can be hidden giving an expanded screen to show text or other items in the silk area. This widescreen mode is a much more efficient use of screen real-estate.
* New handwriting recognition. Decuma is very natural, and has a very good recognition rate. But... see below...
* Rotate/Swivel screen. Use the unit as a micro-laptop, or as a micro-tablet.
* Bluetooth and WiFi. Very easy to setup and use.
Cons:
* This unit only works in landscape mode. I prefer holding the unit in my hand in portrait mode. There doesn't appear to be any setting in software to change this.
* The design favors wireless hotsync, since USB cable is very awkward to plug into side of unit. The cradle should provide the USB connection, and when inserted in the cradle, the USB connection is passed through the cradle (one less wire to insert)
* The battery life is terrible on the UX50 (even compared to the three year old unit I replaced). Perhaps the keyboard light uses up much more energy.
* The memory stick and stylus can come out too easily. I have nearly lost my stylus twice. The end of the memory stick protrudes just a bit too far, and can be easily unlocked.
* New Graffiti is difficult to get used to after a few years of proficiency with the old Graffiti. Some of the strokes are not as easy to use. Perhaps I'll get used to it, but my entry rate is significantly slower.
* Decuma takes up a large amount of screen space when used. There doesn't appear to be any way to shrink it. Also when in wide screen mode, decuma still only uses 2/3 of the screen (the rest of the screen is unusable)
* Decuma should be used in Portrait mode (replacing the Silk). This would free up more screen space, and would still be natural.
* The speaker mute feature should have a timeout, so I can mute for only 1/2 hour or so while in a meeting, but then get my audible alarms afterward.
* Cannot "type" special symbols from the keyboard. I use the bullet symbols all the time, but must enter them using graffiti.
I like the unit. Everybody I show it to is very impressed. The hardware is well designed. If they come out with software that fixes some of my above issues, then I would wholeheartedly recommend this above any thing else presently available.

Dell Mini-9 PDA Win XP 1GB Memory 16GB Solid State Drive w/Webcam, WiFi and Bluetooth Obsidian Black Case Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is one of many laptops in the house. (Currently five laptops and a sixth on life support for the kids.) Both my wife and I have a Dell mini 9. This computer fills the void of portability perfectly. As was mentioned by another reviewer, buy a cheap version and do aftermarket upgrades for the best deal. I upgraded to 2G of RAM and put in a 64GB solid state hard drive. Because of limitations (I believe placed by Windows not Dell the optimal configuration cannot be purchased directly from Dell - unless you buy the Linux version and install your own version of Windows -assuming you have an extra version lying around.)
Depending what you do with your laptop this is a wonderful laptop for the price. The limited SSD (solid state drive) size does present some problems if you are dealing with large files such as images and videos; however to be used for internet access, e-mail, and word processing this is just fine. I wish I had something this compact when I went to college. Keep in mind that too many programs will quickly eat up the space of the smaller hard drives.
The small size also comes with a small screen. This may be obvious, but apparently I have a lot of crap (ahem, useful tool bars) that I place on my word processor program and browser program. This does limit "useful" space on the screen.
I have found the battery life to be in line with most laptops. It handles being carried around in a bag every day well enough. Having owned many Dells, they can be finicky. I usually buy the support plan (Although, I didn't on my mini 9) I have gotten my money's worth on some computers and never used it on others.
This laptop has limitations and would not be my choice as an only/first laptop unless it was a real on the go application or for college use.

HTC Magic G2 Google Android - Unlocked QuadBand Cellular Phone with 3.2 MP Camera, GPS, WiFi - International Version with No Warranty (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love this phone. However, I live in Sweden so beware that some features may not be exactly the same. UPDATE: I have now had this phone for about a month and have these comments (see UPDATE notes).
First, this is a great phone. Hands down...and I live in Sweden where there are more cellphones per capita than anywhere else. As for the other reviewer...I don't know why someone complains about the virtual keyboard and no physical keypad. Buy a phone with a keyboard, silly, if you don't like tapping the screen. I for one used to have a Nokia E61 with a real keyboard. Great. But, I really like this onscreen keyboard. It's fast, easy to use, and even though it suggests words for you (and gets smarter with time) you can suggest the word you want from four suggestions (iPhone has only two). This phone is obviously trying to get you to shy away from the iPhone...and you should. It's that good.
Pros:
Flexibility - I can configure the homescreens any way I want. UPDATE: This is just great. Really. I can change the phone as I learn what I need and don't need. Lot's of hype in the cellphone world, but few useful tools. This really helps me stay connected and it is easy and quick to make a direct call, take a picture, check my google map position, send an email, etc.
Fast - this phone is really fast and does multitasking very well. I can surf the web while listening to a tune while using the GPS...and it doesn't bog down! UPDATE: Yep, this really works. Just went hiking in the woods of Sweden...where the logging road ends. Did perfectly. Used my GPS while I listened to my radiostation on LastFM through the phone...in the woods! The iPhone bogs down.
Form - it's fits really nicely in my pocket. Not too heavy, not too big. UPDATE: The screen doesn't scratch badly at all, and if you want additional scratch protection go to [...].
Battery - stellar battery life. UPDATE: Go easy on the app downloads from the Market/app store. Some apps drain the battery. Again, the iPhone drains your battery badly.
Market - ok, so it's not the Apple store, but it has a lot of useful programs. UPDATE: I have a great email program (K-9), push SMS (SMS popup), instant access to wifi/GPS/bluetooth etc (Useful switches).
Google syncing - works perfectly to sync my web calender with my phone with my sidebar at home. UPDATE: Really love this one. Type in a new calender event and your google calender and your google toolbar are updated within the minute. Sweet.
Cons:
Really, so far I haven't found any...except to figure out how to get the same timezone on all three calenders...UPDATE: I did.
UPDATE: Actually, the calender is subpar...so far until the Market provides a new one. You really can't adjust it very well. I would like different colors for different events; start the week on a Monday; Week number.
However, buy this phone and you won't be disappointed!
