Conclusion

T-Mobile’s SDA Smart Phone is an excellent device for those who need a phone first and light PDA second. The SDA is very attractive, powerful and has an excellent display. It fits easily in your pocket, yet offers some of the same features as PDAs. It can sync to Outlook which means you won’t have to “T9″ your contacts list into the phone and will have your appointments and reminders with you on the go. Negative aspects of the phone are the buttons and keypad keys, they’re quite small and bundled too closely together. The joystick isn’t always easy to press straight down without moving sideways and thus changing your selection. With that said, the SDA SmartPhone is a good buy and could compete with the Blackberry.

The MM-535 also offers a full color LCD screen, speakerphone, stereo sound and external storage for downloaded media as well as photo and video clips.

LG MM535 Design

The LG MM-535’s design turns heads, plus it’s packed to the gills with high-end features, such as a 1.3-megapixel camera, an amazing display, and the ability to play MP3s.

LG MM535 Performance

The 3.88-ounce MM-535 is a large but comfortable slider phone with a big screen and flat, well-spaced keys. The 2-inch 176 by-220 color screen is bright enough to see outdoors, and its ringing is loud and clear. This phone’s greatest strength is its 1.3MP camera, which takes sharp, clear, well-balanced shots. Images are free of the color noise and halo effects that plague so many camera phones. Low-light performance was also very good, with fewer details. A rudimentary MP3 player is also on board and plays songs off the mini-SD card. It is a basic phone music player, and like most Sprint phones, the MM-535 has a standard WAP browser.

What’s included in the package

LG MM-535 Cell Phone, AC Travel Charger, and Standard Li-Ion Battery.

Conclusion

The ultimate camera, camcorder, MP3 and web phone. It’s all here with LG’s MM-535 cell phone. It’s more than your voice link to the outside world. You can send photos and video clips, stream video and audio clips, and view web sites with images instead of just text. You can customize shutter sounds and ringtones; record voice memos and voice dial prompts, and hear it all in 3D stereo sound. The MM-535 has 20MB of onboard memory and a miniSD memory card slot that can hold tons more so you can transfer your pictures or videos from your phone to your computer or printer and play your MP3 tunes.

Sprint Samsung A900 Review Introduction

What’s included in the package

Samsung A900 BLADE, Battery, USB SYNC Cable, Home Charger, Stereo Headphones, Manual.

Conclusion

Offered only by Sprint, the Samsung MM-A900 equals the Razr’s thin profile but raises the bar with a couple of refinements and some extra features not found on the Motorola handset, including a 1.3-megapixel camera with a swiveling lens and a flash, an MP3 player, and support for Sprint’s new 3G network. 3G networks let you speed through Web pages, enjoy streaming music video, watch on-demand video programming, download and play 3D games, and videoconference with your fellow chatterers. While the interface is undoubtedly different on a cell phone, the experience of surfing, downloading, and streaming stands to be very close to that of a broadband connection on a computer.
