The European Award for Best Phone

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 is creating a lot of waves for quite some time now. The phone has become a huge hit, and with its growing popularity, has seen the release of two siblings namely the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini and the Mini Pro.

All the three handsets run the Android ver 1.6 OS. Although there are handsets available in the market running on an advanced ver 2.0 Android OS but these devices from Sony are immensely popular due to theeir very impressive and high tech features. Although the company has announced that it will be releasing the newer edition with the advance Android ver 2.0 OS later this year.

Recently the Xperia x10 mini bagged the best European mobile phone award due to its wide array of features that are packed within its tiny casing.

Although the handset does not have the full power specs that can be found on the original XPERIA X10 (and that this version lacks the physical, slide out, QWERTY keyboard on the X10 Mini), it is still a very impressive smart phone that manages to bring in the simplicity of a mid range handset with all the software features of a high end device.

HTC's Desire Now in Stunning Black Casing

The HTC Desire is a highly popular smartphone running on Android OS. Originally launched in a very attractive brown colour, the handset is now available in another stunning black casing. The HTC Desire Black is released initially exclusively on Orange network and would be available on Orange for an initial exclusive period. After this period the handset would be available on other networks also.

The device incorporates a full QWERTY keyboard and comes with a 3.6 inches TFT resistive touch screen and an inbuilt digital camera of 3.15 MP bearing 2048x1536 pixels resolution and auto focus. Weighing just 135g and measuring 119x60x11.9mm, the Desire is equipped with an accelerometer sensor for auto-rotate function and great memory capacity including unlimited entries in phone book along with photo calling facility.

HTC has launched a number of very popular and successful handsets this year namely the HTC Legend and Wildfire. All of these handsets are available with various attractive mobile phone deals and can be purchased along with free gifts and many other incentives and added benefits from online mobile stores.

Android Phones

Ever since Android was released, Google's mobile OS has turned up in more or less every market segment one could imagine, including 'beginner' to super-powered smartphones. Let's have a look at the coolest Android phones on the market in each segment.

Sony Ericsson X10 Mini

Let's kick off with a phone for users who need to have a smartphone, but do not want a oversized smartphone or a phone that costs a lot to buy: the Sony Ericsson X10 Mini. As you can tell from its name, the Sony Ericsson X10 Mini is a cut-down incarnation of the original X10. Sony Ericsson have taken the best stuff the X10, and squeezed those features down to fit into a brand new frame which makes the Sony Ericsson X10 Mini, even as a smartphone, ludicrously little. Therefore, for users who need a smartphone that is little enough to fit in the smallest handbags, the Sony Ericsson X10 Mini deals are perfect for the handset to buy.

HTC Wildfire

Android is on a march to take over the mid-range, as well, and it can now be found the sexy HTC Wildfire. It has all the cool bits that made its larger sibling (the HTC Desire) brilliant, but puts all those good bits in a more compact, cheaper shell, which remains both sleek and gorgeous. Needless to say, being in that mid-range shell means that the HTC Wildfire has not got the 1GHz Snapdragon chip of the Desire, but its own chip performs admirably. You also get the Sense UI, installed on top of Android in the HTC Wildfire, once more similar to its older predecessor. Based on that logic, if you want something which is very much like the Desire when it comes to specs, but that is considerably cheaper, then the HTC Wildfire is absolutely perfect.

Samsung Galaxy S

In conclusion, then, you've got the Sony Ericsson X10 Mini which has a super-small shell, and then there's the HTC Wildfire, the mid-range equivalent of the HTC Desire. And finally you've got the big top-ender, the Samsung Galaxy S, with the most impressive display on this list. Coming in at a huge 4 inches, it is quite frankly gigantic, and the WVGA, 800x480 resolution makes it incredibly easy to use the touch elements onscreen. Sitting atop the OS, the interface is built around Samsung's TouchWiz UI. It is wonderfully simple to use, and while it is definitely not as sublime (but then, what is?) as HTC's Sense UI, it (in addition to the unbelievably fast 1GHz Hummingbird CPU) is the biggest reason why the Samsung Galaxy S is such a pleasure to use as your everyday phone. But then, it isn't all about raw processing speed, a phone has got to have exciting features and the Samsung Galaxy S also has a wealth of cool features, from the 5 megapixel camera, through GPS, to super speedy HSDPA web access (and, of course, Google's incredible WebKit browser), and this is why a large number of customers believe this to be one of the coolest mobile phones they've ever seen.

Nokia N8 Review

If you were just to compare specifications, the Nokia N8 is a mobile phone that should propel the N Series from Nokia to the top of the camera phone charts. Lets review those features and take a look at what the Nokia N8 has in store.

With a 12 megapixel camera and optics from Carl Zeiss, including a wide-angle lens and the ability to shoot in high-definition video (720p resolution) and connect via HDMI to your home theatre system with Dolby Digital Plus sound, the Nokia N8 looks to take multimedia phones to a new level.

If social networking is your thing, the Nokia N8 brings all of your favourite networking sites together, including Facebook and Twitter, straight to your home screen. Upload your photos and videos to Facebook as soon as you capture them on the phone, and keep in touch with your friends direct from your mobile.

Building on the succesful Widgets which made their debut in the N97 you can personalise your N8 to your hearts content. There are three individual home screens so your phone can look different when used at work, at home and one spare.

With the growth of the OVI resource portal, there are a large number of different applications that you can get to upgrade and improve your Nokia phone and although not at the level that iPhone users can expect this resource is becoming a valuable addition for Nokia owners.

In addition to the high-quality camera and video expect to find 16 GB of internal memmory which can be expanded through micro-SD memory cards (up to a total of 32 GB) making a total possible memory of 48 GB. Llike television on your mobile? The Nokia N8 also includes on demand WebTV including channels from CNN and National Geographic, although not live TV, a feature hastily dropped by Nokia after the N96 because of the lack of support around the world. This adds an additional distraction from those long commutes as does the full featured music player including album art, playlists and the boast from Nokia that the N8 will store enough songs that you could listen to over two days worth of music without hearing the same song twice.

Connectivity includes Bluetooth, HDMI, a micro-USB connector, 3.5 mm AV connector for your headphones, FM radio and an FM transmitter. E-mail messaging is supported as you would expect as is browsing and internet capabilities which include Flash video support.

The user interface relies on a 3.5 inch high resolution screen with 16.7 million colours and 640 x 360 pixels OLED capacitive touch screen. Differing from the N97, the touch screen is capacitive rather than resistive which means it should be easier to operate with just a finger thater than a stylus. There is an accelerometer (orientation sensor), compass and an ambient light sensor, all the things you’d expect from a high range N Series mobile phone.

GPS is included with integrated GPS and A-GPS receiver and OVI Maps with free car and pedestrian navigation will be included.

The Nokia N8 is also expected to ship with the new Symbian ^3 operating system which is still yet to be fully released by Nokia. Given the number of partners involved in the Symbian development system we would hope that this new release brings a lot of new features and stability to this rather old OS.

Samsung Galaxy S Review

The Samsung Galaxy S is meant to be the Korean firm's big assault on the smartphone market - packing oodles of top end technology into a handset it thinks can take on the iPhone 4. There's more than just top end technology in here to beat the iPhone – the chassis looks decidedly similar too, despite the much larger screen, which comes in at a whopping four inches.

The feel of the frame is also odd, but in a good way. It's nearly a millimetre thicker than the iPhone 4 (we know, shocking) but it doesn't feel it, thanks to the curved back. The downside of this construction is that it feels a little plasticky, which isn't the impression you're going for in a premium smartphone – but it is very light at only 118g. The chrome bezel looks nice too, but it's the screen that it frames that really makes the Samsung Galaxy S.

While Google is intent on losing the custom overlays on modern Android smartphones, Samsung has finally decided to offer up its own skin for the search engine's mobile OS. Known as TouchWiz 3.0, this skin is the evolution of efforts from a number of Samsung handsets – sadly most of which were pretty dire to use, with a range of widgets that underperformed compared to the competitors'.

This overlay was first used on the Samsung Wave, where new widgets were the order of the day – while these worked well, and 10 home screens was a bonus, on the Galaxy S you get seven displays to work with, and both widgets and icons alike. The latter is great, as it means you can mess around with placement of your favourite applications. However, widgets are less of an attraction, with very few on offer from both Samsung and the default Android offering – certainly you get a lot more from the likes of the HTC Desire.

Things like Daily Briefing are very exact in what they offer – we would have preferred more customisation than simple weather and news updates, although RSS feeds are always handy, provided you have the nous to set them up. But the interface on the Samsung Galaxy S is more than this; the large, capacitive touchscreen is just tops. We're not saying it's better than the iPhone 4, but for someone who's never picked up a touchscreen phone in their life, this cannot be beaten.

The lightest touch will produce an instant reaction, and coupled with the 1GHz processor from Samsung, the Galaxy S will rarely slow down from your input. While we would have liked to see more from the menu system (we love swiping up from the bottom of the screen to activate the icon list), you have to hit the 'Applications' icon on the Home screen to do more. Another feature we loved about the Samsung Wave was the intuitive menu system, where the most-used applications gradually moved to the top of the pile; sadly missing on the Galaxy S. But the simple icons and pages way of navigating your applications makes sense, seeing as the iPhone 4 has had such runaway success with such a system.
