Acer Liquid Z110 Duo Review

First Dual Sim features may be widely used in feature phone, but this time from the Smartphone. Interestingly not only local vendors that include this feature in the Smartphone. But global vendors have also begun to bury this feature. One of these new products is on the Acer Liquid Z110 named Duo. Moreover, the excess?

Like its predecessor and the Liquid Mini Liquid E, Liquid Z comes with a distinctive design of Acer smart phones. Have two grooves on the top and bottom of the phone screen.

Samsung Galaxy R: Stripped Down Galaxy S II

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

 The Samsung Galaxy R is as feature stocked as they come. Connectivity is lacking only in the 4G/WIMAX department, since this is an international GSM phone, putting 4G in was probably going to be overkill. So you have HSDPA 900/1200 for high speed connectivity, while the 2G frequencies of 850, 900, 1800 and 1900 deal with calls. Local connectivity is handled via Bluetooth 3.0, Wi-Fi, microUSB 2.0 and GPS.

Now for the show stopper, unlike most phones, including the Galaxy S II, the Galaxy R runs on a dual-core 1 GHz ARM Cortex-A9 processor, with ULP GeForce GPU for graphics and its main claim to fame, of course, is the Tegra 2 chipset. So in short this is a very fine phone for HD gaming, very fine indeed. Internal memory is capped at a generous 8 GB, with 1 GB of RAM and a very generous 2 GB of ROM.

As for the auto-focus enabled 5 MP camera, it falls a bit short. Pictures turn out looking very washed out, especially with green objects on a white background. Distant shots turn out grainy with very sharp edges, and foliage shots always turn out oily looking. But somehow pictures turn out in a light fluorescent blue when taken in low light, courtesy of the flash. If you're looking for shooting modes in the Galaxy R, you won't be disappointed. Smile shot, Panorama, Sports, Sunset, Landscape, Portrait, Indoors and many more are available.

The 720p HD videos are suitable for home viewing, there's a little bit of pixelation on moving objects, but otherwise sound quality and color fidelity combined with the capture rates make for decent 720p videos.

The music player is the standard remix of TOUCHWIZ 4.0 and the native Android player, somewhat of a mixed bag in terms of design, and if you're looking for a cover flow like design, you'll be disappointed. But otherwise you get stellar sound quality, a fantastic radio, preset equalizers and full album cover support. Audio file support is a bit limited at MP3, WAV, OGG and eAAC+ being the only playable formats.

Of course the awesome video player more than makes up for it, you can easily and flawlessly play 720p HD movies in the MP4, DIVX/XVID and WMV, formats. Colors are bright, but focused, and there is never any skip in sound or picture movement. If you enjoy watching movies on your smartphone, the Galaxy R is a pretty good choice.

The Samsung Galaxy R comes with the standard arrays of features, such as -- GPS, JAVA, SNS integration, a digital compass, an organizer, image/video editor, document editor (works with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF), Google Search, Maps, Gmail, YouTube, Calendar, GTalk, Picasa integration, Adobe Flash support and voice memos, dials and commands.

The Tough Samsung Convoy 2 Reviewed

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

The Samsung Convoy 2 comes with an average set of connective options, and an unusable EVDO rev.A. Apart from the two 2G CDMA network frequencies of 800 and 1900, you get Bluetooth 2.1 and a microUSB port. The EVDO is for PTT calls, no 3G here people.

Or Wi-Fi, but no one was really expecting there to be any Wi-Fi. The phone's internal memory is a paltry 96 MB, but with a microSD card slot that can accommodate up to 32 GBs of extra memory, so 96 MB shouldn't be an issue.

The phone's 3.2 MP camera is pretty good, easily on par with the Samsung Monte's 3.2 MP shooter. You can shoot in four resolutions, from 3.2 MP all the way down to VGA. You get five preset balances, four flash settings and a zoom feature. There is no auto focus, and the camera needs to be held very still for a shot to turn out well. But pictures do come out brightly and with good color representation, details are sharp, except on fuzzy objects. Nighttime shots are also pretty good, thanks to the powerful flash.

The camcorder, on the other hand, seems to be another story. The 15 FPS (Frames per second) VGA shooter produces barely discernible videos. At best, use the pre-set 56 seconds recording limit to send a video MMS.

The music player is excellent, sound wise. The 2.5 mm headphone jack is a real pain to find earphones for, at least where I live. But on loudspeaker or through a Bluetooth headset, sounds filter through perfectly loud and crisp, with a slightly screechy effect on full volume. You can only play MP3s unfortunately, so not much in the way of format support it seems.

Playing videos, on the other hand, is a pretty much average experience. Make sure your videos are encoded in either MP4 or 3GP formats at a maximum resolution of 320 x 240 pixels, and everything should work out fine.

The phone has a good selection of additional features. The Verizon based apps are as follows -- VZ Navigator, VCast Video and Storefront for purchasing various JAVA apps, though you can get tons of free JAVA apps as well. Otherwise you get proprietary features such as Samsung's back up feature and emergency numbers, Bing and Uno. The staples of a calendar, calculator, alarm clock, stop watch, world clock and memo pad are available as well.

AppId is over the quota

With the smartphone wars heating up, users now have a lot of options when they set out to buy a new smartphone. Android has taken over as the OS of choice for most independent phone manufacturers like Motorola, HTC and Samsung, and all of them are continually rolling out new devices. All of them have released excellent phones in the past and are now competing for the title of the ultimate Android smartphone. Both the Galaxy S and the Droid X feature prominently in our list of the Best Android Smartphones, but how to they stack up against each other?

Let's compare Samsung Galaxy S vs. Motorola Droid X: the two favorites in the race for Android dominance.

Samsung Solstice vs Samsung Impression

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

There is one very major difference between the Samsung Impression and it's younger cousin the Solstice; the Impression has a slide out physical QWERTY keyboard, the Solstice is a good old fashioned plain candybar touch phone.

Samsung Impression: The Impression at first glance looks like a slightly thicker than average touchscreen phone, it weighs a presence-worthy 150g, but with dimensions of 114 x 58 x 15 mm it sits with perfect comfort within the palm.

The Impression has a very beautiful AMOLED screen, one of the first phones to debut with AMOLED technology. That was, and is, one of its biggest selling points, the screen is resistive but you'll hardly notice, sensitivity is on par with the Samsung Jet's legendary responsive resistive screen, so don't let it turn you off the phone. The screen has a standard resolution of 240 x 400 pixels, supports 265,000 colors and stands exactly 3.3 inches tall.

The phone's front facing buttons are the physical Call, Back/Clear and End call buttons, the left side hold the volume rocker and a task manager which opens up all active apps, while the right side holds the dedicated camera key and lock/power button. Other peripheries include proximity and light sensors and the propriety charging/USB/ earphone port, yeah... the Impression has a shared port from the dark days of mobile technology. The back has the square 3.2 MP camera lens and clover like loudspeaker grill, nothing more. Popping off the back reveals the microSD card slot, while taking out the battery shows the SIM card slot.

Now for the true showpiece... the keyboard. And it is one of the finest keyboards on a mobile phone, almost regardless of year. The keys are flat and wide, sort of like an island-style QWERTY for phones, they are slightly raised, have Back lighting and come with excellent travel -- even the number buttons are colored blue for easy recognition.

Samsung Solstice: The Solstice is another palm friendly phone in terms of both weight and dimensions, as it weighs 94g, pretty light back in 2009, and the dimensions of 109 x 53 x 12.7 mm are not going to stretch your palm in any way.

The screen is a LCD screen, very bright and with deep colors, but no real match for an AMOLED screen. Otherwise the screen's resolution, color support and size is exactly the same as the Impression's. But the sensitivity is not, this is a resistive touchscreen and you can feel it resisting you -- not as bad as other resistive screens, but certainly not among the best either.

Physical buttons are the same old Call, Back and End call buttons upfront, left side has the volume rocker and oddly placed lock button as it rests directly on the left corner. The right side is home to the dedicated camera button, quick menu key and proprietary charging/USB port/earphone port. The back has the round 2 MP camera lens and two thin stripes that serve as the loudspeaker grill. I'd rather dig for oil with a teaspoon than try to unearth the Solstice's microSD card; it's behind the back cover, behind the battery, underneath the charging teeth, the SIM card is easier to access than the microSD card, absolutely horrific placement. Peripheries include a proximity sensor but no ambient light sensor.

Two things to note about both phones, they are not built for abuse, be gentle and careful, lastly both have pretty awful sunlight eligibility; they become mirrors in direct sunlight.

Winner: Samsung Impression

Samsung Galaxy Note: Smartphone, Tablet, Notepad

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

 The Note has a dual-core 1.4 GHz processor, 1 GB of RAM and it comes in 16 GB or 32 GB internal storage varieties. There’s also a microSD card slot so you can expand that by up to 32 GB.

It supports HSPA+, LTE, EDGE and GPRS networks so you are well-placed to get the best speeds possible wherever you happen to be. You’ve also got A-GPS, Bluetooth 3.0 and Wi-Fi 802.11 b,g,n.

The main camera is an 8 megapixel shooter and it is capable of recording 1080p video at 30 FPS. There’s also a front facing 2 megapixel camera for video calls. There’s a LED flash, but the camera app is pretty basic in terms of features and the autofocus can take a while to find the right level. Shots mostly turn out well but, as is so often the case, the camera doesn’t perform so well in low light conditions. The video recording is good quality, but the audio doesn’t match up.

If you’re buying a phone like this then chances are you want to enjoy some entertainment on it and take advantage of that display. For video it supports the MP4, M4V, Xvid, DivX, AVI, and 3GP formats. For best results you can stream the audio to a Bluetooth headset. This is a great device for watching movies. It is also good for listening to music on, although everything sounds better through a headset. You’ve got DLNA support for streaming content.

The Note is also fantastic for web addicts and browsing is an absolute pleasure. Speeds depend on your connection but it generally loads pages fast and you can enjoy full version websites with Flash.

The S Pen is another special feature on the Note and there are a few dedicated Samsung apps to help you get the best from it. S Memo allows you to sketch or write with ease and you can share your notes. The S Pen also offers some gesture shortcuts. You have the ability to hold the stylus button and double tap the screen to bring up a notepad – this ties into the S Memo app. You can also tap and hold the screen to capture a screenshot and it immediately opens in an image editor so you can add notes or diagrams if you want to. It does work really well as a notepad for capturing thoughts on the go and everything you create is easy to share through the usual social networking and messaging options.

Guide to Rooting the Samsung Captivate Mobile Phone

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
As mentioned before, using Kies is a bit of a gamble, as it is possible that Kies may not even work with your Samsung Captivate. To download and install Kies, navigate to the official Samsung Kies download page and download and install the software to your computer.

After you have downloaded and installed Kies to your computer, take the USB cord that came with your Captivate and plug one end into your phone's USB port and the other into your computer’s USB port. This should automatically cause Kies to open and begin recognition of your phone. If it does recognize your phone, then you are all set. If not, there are a few steps you can take to see if you can get Kies to work.

Obtain an unlock code for your Captivate through, either your carrier (most likely AT&T), or a third party website. Once you have the code, remove the current SIM card from your phone and insert a SIM card from a different network (such as T-Mobile). When the phone asks for the unlock code, enter in the code you obtained to unlock it. With the phone unlocked, press the “Menu” button and select “Settings.” Select the “Applications” option and choose “USB.” Select the “Samsung Kies” option (if it appears) and connect your phone to your computer with the USB cable. If Kies recognizes the phone, you are good to go. If not, there is still another option.

The other option is to unmount the Captivate’s internal SD card, though you should be aware that this will delete photos, videos, contacts and other information stored on the card. To begin the process, press the “Menu” button and select “SD Card and Phone Storage.” Choose the “Unmount SD Card” option and wait until a message appears stating that the card is unmounted. Select the “Format SD Card” option and, when the message appears stating the phone is done formatting, select the “Mount SD Card” option. Connect the phone to the computer with the USB card and see if Kies recognizes your Captivate. If it does not, you will need to try another option rather than Kies.

The Battle Against the Galaxy S2

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

The Google Nexus series was a new concept for the U.S. carriers, a smartphone that was directly available to the consumer, unlocked, with stock Android. The original Nexus One was a silent hit among the high tech smartphone lovers, offering a speedy operating system and immediate upgrades to Android. The Nexus S was the second Nexus smartphone to be released, and was offered on three of the major U.S. carriers, unlike the original Nexus One, which was only available through T-Mobile. The Nexus Prime or the Nexus 3, is the rumored successor to the Nexus throne.

There aren't any solid leads on the Nexus Prime/Nexus 3 and even the name is still up in the air. There haven't been any rumored specs released, but the rumored manufacturer is ironically Samsung. In effect, the Nexus Prime/Nexus 3 is shaping up to be a Galaxy S2-like smartphone with one major difference, no manufacturer overlay, which means it will be extremely fast. Overlays have been known to cause lag on even the most powerful of smartphones. In addition, the Nexus Prime/Nexus 3 will be fully supported by Google, and therefore will receive Android updates sooner than other smartphones. Like the Nexus S was a competitor to the Galaxy S 4G, the newest Nexus will no doubt be a competitor to the Galaxy S2.

As with most smartphones, the Samsung Galaxy S was introduced as a potential competitor to Apple’s iPhone. Samsung is one of the few companies with the ability to challenge Apple in the smartphone arena, which is why this device features such a great hardware specification.

A big name phone like this is bound to attract comparisons from many other devices and there are plenty available; how does the Galaxy S compare with the Nexus S or the Motorola Droid X, for instance, or its successor, the Galaxy S II?

If you’re in the position of looking for a good quality smartphone and have the Samsung Galaxy S as one of your choices, don’t forget that this piece of mobile technology comes in various alternative guises. It is worth checking out just how these variant releases compare with each other to get the best idea of which model you should choose.

Samsung Character Reviewed: Just Another Entry-Level Feature Phone

AppId is over the quota AppId is over the quota  The features on the Samsung Character are extremely limited. It is a CDMA phone with 2G and 3G support and it won’t work on a GSM network.

There’s a 1,000 entry phonebook with multiple number slots, email and notes. You can also add picture ID and ringtones to your contacts and group them if you like. The basics are all here including a calculator, alarm function, calendar, stop watch and timer and a few more besides. You also get some basic apps for social networking and music.

Bluetooth 2.1 is supported but there is no Wi-Fi. The basic Internet browser is not ideal; it is pretty slow, images often won’t load and, because there’s no Wi-Fi support, you aren’t going to want to use it very often. There also doesn’t seem to be a dedicated email app.

The camera is awful. Seriously 1.3 megapixels in this day and age is simply not up to scratch. There are loads of options and you can edit shots after you capture them, but the maximum resolution of 1280 x 1024 pixels is a disappointment. There’s no flash and no support for video recording.

It does support up to a 32 GB microSD card and coupled with the 3.5mm headphone jack that makes it a decent MP3 player alternative. In fact it only supports the MP3 and AAC+ audio formats. It can also handle MP4 videos.

Additional features worth mentioning include a speakerphone function and voice commands.

Samsung Vitality: Entry Level Android at Cricket

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

The Samsung Vitality has a 2G EVDO network supporting the following frequencies; 800, 1700, 2100 and 1900. In stark contrast to the Admire, full 3G functionality has been restored. The EVDO rev.A speeds are relatively fast, you also get the staples of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0 and of course microUSB 2.0.

The phone runs on a single core 800 MHz Qualcomm MSM7630 processor, with an Adreno 200 GPU and 215 MB of RAM. The fully accessible internal memory is capped at 200 MB. The phone has a decent amount of bloatware, most of it third-party, and very little from Cricket. Other than MuveMusic, MyAccount and Storefront, you are left in peace.

Now for the 3.2 MP camera, which is a bit better then the Admire's. Pictures still look like they've been taken in the middle of a fog, but the strong overpowering presence of the color white has vastly diminished. While the color bleeding effect is light and barely noticeable. Pictures turn out relatively sharp, with a good amount of detail. The variety of modes is still the same, you get three shooting resolutions, 4x zoom, scene modes, spot metering, five white-balance settings, color effects and geo-location. No flash.

Videos turn out nicely as well, they appear stable and with much less pixelation then before. You can shoot videos at 24 FPS (frames per second) in either MP4 or 3GP formats.

The excellent musical file support for the excellent Android stock player once again makes an appearance. As a recap the phone can play MP3, WMV, AC+, OGG and many others.

The video player once again can only handle 3GP, MP4 and M4V formats, at a maximum resolution of 640 x 480. Though you can leave several apps running in the background this time -- the video player can handle a good deal of stress.

As for pre-installed apps, you get -- ThinkFree Office which offers limited document viewing and editing options. Google Books, GTalk, Google Maps with voice navigation, YouTube, Google Places and finally Google Latitude.

Guide to All You Need to Know About Samsung Apps

AppId is over the quota

The problem when compiling a guide on Samsung apps, is that Samsung make phones that support many different platforms. Although the majority of Samsung devices run on Android, there is also the proprietary Bada, J2ME, and now we have Windows Phone 7 invited to the Samsung party. So we have a nice mix here to keep all Samsung owners happy. It's an idea to find out which OS your phone is running, if you don't know already, but to save your blushes we also have a section on finding the best apps according to your phone.

We first take a look at Bada and Samsung apps, before moving onto phone-specific apps, and then on to those must-have apps; the ones like security and battery monitors that we all need no matter what phone we have.

And then there are those apps that were on your phone when you first turned it on and you haven't got a clue what they do, or how to use them, so we take a look at those too. Let's get going!

Samsung Stratosphere Reviewed: 4G LTE Smartphone with a Keyboard

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

It's slightly disappointing but like the Epic 4G, the Stratosphere is powered by a 1 GHz Hummingbird processor. Luckily it seems the Stratosphere is being sold as a mid-level smartphone, as it doesn't have the power to compete with the higher end smartphones currently available. In general, the processor is able to handle the operating system well, but there are occasional bouts of lag. Like the design, the processor is very much like the Epic 4G.

The call quality is decent for both outgoing and incoming calls, with no real distortion, but the sound is a bit on the low side. The 4G LTE speeds on the smartphone were definitely fast, though it does heavily depend on location. The 1800 mAh battery is actually on the impressive side, though the 4G LTE connection does drain the battery fairly fast. With regular usage, the Stratosphere was able to last a little under 2 days.

Samsung Epic 4G Touch Reviewed

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

The smartphone comes preloaded with Android 2.3 and with the latest version of TouchWiz UI, Samsung's proprietary overlay. Samsung has done a fantastic job enhancing the user interface with the latest iteration of TouchWiz. For starters, it comes packed with more widgets than before and these widgets have an ability that will be found on Android 3.1, the ability to be resized. Various Samsung hubs have been removed in favor of one central media hub, used to download movies and videos. Samsung also included Kies Air, which allows the Epic 4G Touch to use wireless connections to sync the smartphone up with PC's and laptops. It still has a lot of bloatware, courtesy of Sprint, but luckily it can be tucked away in a folder, never to be opened again, in the applications listing.

The Epic 4G Touch comes with the physical gesture abilities found on the Galaxy S 2. Flip the smartphone on its face and it will remain silent. It also features tilt zoom, allowing users to zoom in on pictures by placing their fingers on the display and tilting the smartphone. The other physical gesture ability is the panning motion, which allows users to move between home screens quickly when rearranging applications. The lateral movement pushes the screens around which allows for quick and easy rearrangement.

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

We reported yesterday on the efforts of Sprint to return service to Hurricane Gustav affected areas, and it seems Alltel has been no different in their commitment to mobile users in and around the Gulf Coast. Alltel takes matters one step further however, giving away a couple of freebies to those forced to evacuate because of the storm. Those affected by mandatory evacuations have been granted 1,000 free nationwide minutes as well as unlimited text messaging for a limited time. Alltel customers eligible for these goodies will have until September 12th to take advantage.

Alltel is also encouraging customers to make donations to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund on behalf of hurricane-affected citizens. Customers of the service can send $5 donations via sending a text message. They need only type keyword “GIVE” to 2HELP (24357). Once the confirmation message arrives a few minutes later, a reply of “YES” will confirm the donation. These will be accepted through Oct. 31st.

“Many of our customers along the Gulf Coast suffered a significant blow from Hurricane Gustav,” said Joanna Miller, Alltel’s vice president of business solutions for Louisiana and Mississippi. “We all know the communities of the Gulf Coast are resilient, and Alltel wants to help our neighbors as they work through the recovery process.”

The free minutes and texts will be added to the accounts of any individuals and businesses with addresses in the affected counties and parishes. In Louisiana, the parishes are: Ascension, Assumption, Calcasieu, Cameron, Iberia, Jefferson, Lafourche, Orleans, Plaquemines, St. Bernard, St. Charles, St. John, St. Martin, St. Mary, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, Terrebonne, Vermillion and Washington. In Mississippi, the counties are: Hancock, Harrison and Jackson. Alabama’s Baldwin County is also included.

It’s good to see a company of Alltel’s stature doing something, even if it’s just small, to help in relief and give back to the community.
