Sprint recently announced a couple of phones which will be good enough to get the job done – although they definitely will not come with all the relevant bells and whistles that you might expect in this day and age. The Milano will be the more powerful of the two, so we shall take a [...]

We have reported on senior-friendly phones before such as the Doro PhoneEasy 345 and 410, and they usually have the same form. That is, big buttons, enhanced loudness (which is good for ringtones), as well as one giant button that is an SOS. So in case of a “I’ve fallen and I can’t …

I have seen a lot of products with W700 in its title, like the Sony Ericsson W700 cell phone that came out a few years ago. This is the W700 from K-Touch and it is from a Chinese manufacturer from China Unicom. It runs on Android 2.2 and has a dual-core NVIDIA Tegra …

Usually, we don’t talk about James Bond’s favorite brand of car here, but this phone from Mobiado bears the Aston Martin logo, and is completely transparent. This is the CPT002, and …

There must be a contest to create the world’s thinnest smartphone, and Sony Ericsson’s Xperia Arc and the Samsung Galaxy S 4G are contenders. However, NEC’s MEDIAS E-04C could be the world’s thinnest. It is 8.7mm and 8.49mm at its thinnest points, weigh 105 grams, and have a 4 inch display with 854 x 480 [...]

It would appear that ZTE has something else planned at MWC besides the Skate as they have introduced a Tablet known as the Light 2. Of course it is an Android Tablet with version 2.2, like many that debuted at CES last January. It has a 7-inch sunlight-readable display, and is 12.6 mm …
