If size does matter for you, then the HP Veer definitely is not the perfect phone for you, we are saying this because the HP Veer is ridiculously small. Right from the first time when you touch the keyboard it becomes apparent that this thing isn’t easy, and it definitely will take a lot to get use to it. But the good thing here is that it isn’t as hard as it seems, and after some small initial typos here and there you will get use to it, and will say, “Well, it’s not that bad.” The HP Veer is 3.25 in long and is really small, surreptitious and modest. The Veer is so small, that you can carry the phone even in your coin pocket. The rear end of the phone comes with a rubberized texture, which reminds you that it’s not just another pebble. The HP Veer comes with a 2.6 in touchscreen, which is really small  [...]

Asus P552w is a compact handheld at 102x60.5x14.5mm and as compared to the HTC Touch, the dimensions are a bit large. Comparing the two devices, I feel that the Asus product is a bit ahead in features. A much fairer comparison is the Touch 3G and as compared to that, the HTC product is lighter and narrower but all the other dimensions are same. It is not as small as the competitor’s device but is still quite light at weight of 105 grams and it is handy too. There won’t be any bulge in your handbags or pockets. The dimensions make it look pudgy and it won’t turn a lot of heads due to the looks. Just like HTC Touch, the screen of the Asus P552w is flush with the chassis. Due to this, it is much easier to execute the commands on display using finger taps and swipes. There is a big black border around the screen and I was wondering if the manufacturer  [...]

If you have been using a mobile phone for a long time, chances are that you have wet it at least once. Dropping a cell phone while you are relaxing in a swimming pool is not an uncommon accident.

Dell Aero is a seriously outdated smartphone; it runs of Android 1.5 OS and the phone has a very sluggish interface. There are no buttons on the surface of the phone and everything is moved on the sides which makes it very frustrating to use. The phone doesn’t have a headphone jack but Dell gives an audio adapter with the handset for plugging in any standard 3.5 mm earphones. Dell has put its own user interface on the Aero and I feel the company tried a bit too much in making it customizable. It looks very simple initially. The main home screen gives you basic information like weather, time and date. There is also a big notification box at the bottom. There are additional panels and for accessing them, you just have to swipe your finger through it. There is a stagnant toolbar on every screen’s top which gives you shortcuts for the phone app, e-mail, messaging and browser. There are ten panels in all but you are limited in what you can add on these panels. Pressing the menu button  [...]

Apple iPhone 4, as you all might be knowing, is the newest product by Apple and it is the device that everyone's been waiting for. It has plenty of features and the design too has undergone a lot of changes. To start off, the box is changed and the new packaging looks quite attractive. Inside the box, you have the instruction manual, power plug, USB cord and the headphones with microphone built in. As compared to the iPhone 3G, the new iPhone is quite thin, actually, it is 25 percent thinner. Apple says that this is the thinnest smartphone out right now. This is true for now but you never know because there are lots of smartphones coming in the market all the time and hence you might get a thinner handset tomorrow. The competition in smartphone market is very stiff. Apple iPhone 4 is clad with glass on the front and back and we noticed that the phone attracts a lot of fingerprints particularly on the back. You might want to carry a cleaning cloth  [...]

Palm Pre Plus finally has a companion for AT&T with the Palm Pixi Plus. This small device does not have lots of power just like Verizon’s version. The feature set is quite nice and the price of this product is $49.99. You have to sign a two years service agreement and this phone is geared more towards people who are using smartphone for the first time. The device is small so it fits in your pocket and hand quite easily. There are a few trade offs though. For instance, the touch screen is trimmed down to 2.63 inches which is really small as compared to what we have these days. You will struggle a bit to view Web pages and the text content on this display. On the bright side, the phone supports pinch to zoom feature so this will help a bit. The keyboard of the Palm Pixi Plus is a bit cramped and you will need some time to get used to it. The phone comes with reference manual, USB cord, and AC charger. There is no Touchstone dock offered  [...]
