HP iPaq 910c Hands-On


This long awaited 3G smartphone packs some nice connectivity features: Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE and UMTS/HSDPA 7.2Mbps, WiFi b/g. It also has integrated GPS navigation and runs Windows Mobile 6.1 alongside a 3 Megapixel camera, a 2.46” touch screen, and finally, a QWERTY keyboard. The first impression: it is a bit bulkier, and heavier than my BlackBerry Curve. Switching from and to those applications takes more time on the BlackBerry. This device called the “Business Messenger” is targeted to international business customers, and the stylish non-sexy design reflects that. At first sight, the keyboard seems to have keys that are too close to each other, but their curved design allows a really good experience, U can type as fast with it as U do on BlackBerry Curve

Hands-On with the Nokia Evolve 3110 Eco-Friendly Phone


The Nokia Evolve targets consumers who want an environmentally sensitive, easy-to-use phone, with an average feature set. Thanks to its focus on its (somewhat) eco-friendly materials, the Nokia Evolve 3110 might just fit the bill. Not surprisingly, it has basic features such Camera, 2.5G, FM Radio and Micro-SD memory card. That all work fairly well, especially the FM radio. The user interface is simple as other popular Nokia entry-level phones and we expect users to find their marks quickly. There’s one thing however that we found particularly annoying: There’s (apparently) no way to prevent the keyboard from locking itself after 3.5s of inactivity. The bottom-line is that you would probably pick this one up because it’s eco-friendly - it’s hard to see another reason to get one.
