Acer beTouch E100

By jrjuan on Feb 17, 2010 No Comments

Acer wasn’t really known for its smartphones. The company is rather known in the field of computers where it has made its name as one of the best. However, they have partially dipped its toes in the phones segment primarily due to the closeness of the field with computers. Still, Acer wants to penetrate the segment even more with the addition of new phones and the E100 is one of them.

The beTouch E100 is one of the cellphones under the beTouch line with two being Windows Phone and one being an Android. The E100 has Windows 6.5 which carries a lot of touch friendly optimizations. The 3.2″ screen invites the user to touch it and feel the virtual navigation. With Windows built in, Office applications can be viewed on the device such as Word, Excel, Powerpoint, OneNote and run Outlook as well as Gmail and Hotmail.

Surfing the internet is also fast with the 3G capability of this handset with a maximum data rate of 7.2Mbps. With this, imbedded social networking apps such as Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, Blogger will run fast. Assisted GPS on Google Maps with Latitude, Street View, Traffic, POI Search also loads easier.

The processors clocks at 528Mhz which would make the system fast but could also be the reason for the 5 hours of talk time whereas the iPhone could last for about 8 hours. One user disliked the phone for the lack of WiFi capability unless you are on unlimited surfing plan.

If you’re young, cool (on a unlimited surfing plan), and wants to have a smartphone, then the beTouch would be a good option for you.

Aspen Windows Phone from Sony Ericsson

By jrjuan on Feb 3, 2010 No Comments

With all the Android, Web OS, BlackBerry, Symbian and iPhone OS that vie for the smartphone market share, let us not forget that Microsoft is still at it with their Windows Phone platform. Yeah, it has been renamed and dropped the Mobile term to simply name Windows Phone instead of Windows Mobile Phone. Still, the operating system would remain as Windows Mobile.

The Sony Ericsson Aspen is a member of the GreenHeart portfolio which could lessen the guilt on spending for another phone. The GreenHeart line of products uses recyclable materials and eliminated identified toxic substances in the production process that can harm the environment.

The Aspen is quite loaded in terms of its features. It has Windows Mobile 6.5.3 which has been completely redesigned from the traditional Windows Mobile look to allow more finger friendly operations; totally eliminating the need for a stylus even digging deep in the system. The new OS now also allow capacitive touch screens that can drastically enhance the touch screen experience. The web browser speed has also been improved (but you can always install a new one if you feel the Internet Explorer is still slow). This smartphone is targeted to the business users with the QWERTY keyboard in place for long message composition or could also be a perfect smartphone for text enthusiasts.

Other features of the phone include a 3.2 megapixel camera with flash, 2.4″ flush touch display, A-GPS with Google Maps, WiFi, and expandable using a microSD. The phone weighs 130grams with dimensions of 17 x 60 x 12.45 mm.

For a more feature rich smartphone, look at the Sony Xperia X2.

eXperience Sony Xperia X2

By jrjuan on Jan 16, 2010 No Comments

Managing all the documents and stuff in your office could be a little too much for you. Sure you can bring a netbook anywhere since they are really light and portable but they are still something that takes up space in your bag or portfolio. So how about bringing your office with you in an interface that is very similar to your computer?

The Xperia X2 is the second incarnation of Sony Ericsson’s endeavor to capitalize on the smartphone market. What they offer is functionality and style. For functionality, there you have is a Windows Mobile 6.5 and a full slideout QWERTY keyboard for easy typing of text messages or emails. Style is a factor of course since even businessmen want some style right? It has a black finish that is like a piano’s surface with silver on the keyboard that feels like metal.

You can watch films in high definition with the phone’s 3.2″ full touch display screen. Then take pictures or videos with the 8-megapixel resolution in the camera. It has autofocus which is great for taking pictures of documents or if you just want your pictures of your friends with high clarity. This also has A2DP support so if you have bluetooth speakers, you can wirelessly stream your music without having to dock or use a cord.

I like the way that a 3.5mm audio jack is used so I can use my favorite earphones. Memory can be expanded by using up to 16GB of microSD but a 4GB microSD will be included.

I like the way that I will be able to mix office productivity and fun with the Xperia X2.

Experience an Xperia here.

Piggyback a Pico Projector on the LG eXpo

By jrjuan on Dec 4, 2009 No Comments

340x_lgexpoNeed a new smartphone that can keep up with your business needs and allow flexibility for applications, games and even multimedia? Then the newest from LG named eXpo is set to meet your expectations.

The LG eXpo is a new phone heading towards AT&T equipped with the latest Windows Mobile Professional 6.5 as its operating system which is a relief rather than having a featurephone OS. Having windows mobile on board means that you can view and edit documents, spreadsheets, and presentations wherever you go. You also have the liberty to install different applications ranging from making your phone into a flashlight to a group messaging device. Games too won’t be a problem since there are a lot intended for Windows Mobile and the Java capability expands the possibilities even further. The eXpo has a big 3.2 inch screen with 16M colors, a slide out keyboard for long e-mails and faster typing, and 5.0 megapixel camera to capture moments that matter most. A 1GHz processor keeps this baby working which is the first in the US making this phone probably one of the fastest in the market coupled with 7.2mbps HSPA capability making webpages render fast.

The biggest thing that this device could showcase is the ability to have a pico projector connected on its back for on the spot presentations that you can make with projection distance of up to 8 feet. Imagine editing your presentation on your phone and presenting it a few minutes later right on the same device. That could make a difference from closing a deal with potential partners and saying bye-bye to that Christmas wish list. The eXpo will sell on December 7 for $199.99 after mail-in rebates on a 2-year contract and the projector will sell for $179.99 separately.

Just want a tiny projector? Get Pico Projectors from Amazon.
