Leaving behind the ‘serious’ looks rampant with today’s 3G smartphones, Sony Ericsson have came up with a petite looking clamshell that is fully packed with 3G mobile technology. The Sony Ericsson Z610i have set new standard in mobile phone design. The smooth glossy texture of the handset has a nice feel to it. The external OLED monochrome display is cleverly hidden by mirror effect and does not give away its presence till you receive a call or text.

Internal screen of the Sony Ericsson Z610i is 176 x 220 pixel, TFT that delivers more than 262k accurate and vibrant colours. The display is the perfect viewfinder for the primary camera and also produces high definition images while on video calls. The keys are well differentiated so number of wrong presses can be kept to a bare minimum.

The Sony Ericsson Z610i is endowed with a 2.0 megapixel camera. A secondary VGA camera is located on the top of the primary display so that you can make video calls across UMTS networks. The camera includes basic features like digital zoom and video recording but lacks flash and auto-focus. However, there are many fun features like Picture Blogging, clubbed with the integrated camera to keep you engrossed.

Other than UMTS, the Sony Ericsson Z610i supports triband GSM mobile network and automatically changes band. This makes the handset functional across five continents. Enjoy download speed of broadband through 3G network other than GPRS. Easy surfing through the built in NetFront browser of the Sony Ericsson Z610i makes it easier to search and download all your favourite contents directly to the device. The phone’s internal memory is about 16 Mb and it supports external memory cards. Bluetooth and USB connectivity of the device is ideal for quick exchange and synchronization of information.

The Sony Ericsson Z610i is surely a novel way to say hello to 3G.

There has been a lot of discussions about how mobile phones are competing with digital cameras. Though the arguments are convincing in favor of mobile phone that would subsequently uproot digital cameras as consumer’s first choice for imaging needs, this sounds like a scene of a distant future. With the launch of Nokia N93, the future suddenly is within our grasp. Being a top end member of the highly acclaimed N series, the Nokia N93 is essentially a 3G enabled, multimedia communication device. The handset is a bit on the heavier side at 180 gm and resembles a miniature digital camcorder.

The twist and rotating QVGA screen of the Nokia N93 displays more than 262k vibrant colours. The screen can work in imaging mode, viewing mode, fold open mode and fold closed mode. The sleek black casing with chrome edging give an impression of reliability and sophistication. The Nokia N93 is endowed with a massive 3.2 mega pixel camera sporting lens made by Carl Zeiss. High definition images do not compromise on its resolution when you zoom in unlike other camera phones. The Nokia N93 is endowed with 3x optical zoom than the more common digital zoom.

Though 3.2 mega pixel camera module with auto focus and integrated flash is available with other models in the market, what sets the Nokia N93 apart is its DVD like video recording quality. The Nokia N93 is capable of taking part in video calls across UMTS network other than voice calls across triband GSM networks. 50 Mb of internal memory and the 128 Mb memory card included in the kit leaves you with enough space for all types of content you want to download to the Nokia N93. Other connectivity options incorporated in the Nokia N93 are GPRS, EDGE, WiFi, Blue tooth, Infrared and USB – in a nutshell, more than you’ll ever need.
