The N95 8GB takes the best phone in the world and makes it better! Difficult to believe? Well, you better believe it.
The list of features on the N95 8GB is quite endless - Assisted Global Positioning System (A-GPS) with voice navigation, Nokia Maps, an excellent 5 Megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optical lense, push email, quick search, LifeBlog and MBlog, Reading Office suite (word, excel, powerpoint, PDF and even Zip) files, tons of local content, including Movies. And like the earlier N95, the two way slider with access to the gallery, maps and internet bookmarks with one slide. Thankfully the media buttons have been raised compare to the early N95 making them easier to use. Even the main buttons on the front of the phone are bigger.
On the N95 8GB a better battery is provided. So, despite the fact that the

N95 8GB comes with a bigger and brighter 2.8 inch 16 million color QVGA screen, there is improved talktime and standby time. Of course, putting all this in has made it a wee bit bulkier.
Coming with class leading storage of 8GB, it allowes you to store as many as 2000 regular mp3 songs or over 5000 songs in optimized eAAC+ format used by Nokia Music Manager on PC Suite.
In our opinion, this is more than a multimedia phone. Its a ‘Personal Convergence Companion’, because you won’t need a separate camera, or a top notch music player, or a navigation system. Heck, the N95 8GB even allowes you to sacrifies your personal computer, complemented with a bluetooth keyboard (available as an accessory for purchase), QuickOffice Pro (available as an accessory for purchase), and Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) for high speed internet access and email.
Beside work, we did play hard as well, Downloading videos from YouTube and listening music through our own headphones (thanks to the 3.5mm audio jack) kept us busy. This isn’t a phone with additional features, its actually a computer which also has a very good mobie phone.

The BlackBerry Curve 8300 is the littler sibling of the BlackBerry 8800. Most phones from BlackBerry are business centric, but the Curve incorporates multimedia features.
Silver tone makes for a cool, refined look. The slim profile means the Curve 8300 is very comfortable to hold and carry around. Its full QWERTY keys are small yet well shaped out. Tacticle response are brilliant.
The 2.5 inch 320×240 screen is adequately large and the images are crisp, good enough for the intended use: preliminary as a PDA phone. The 2MP gave us good results in daylight, but in low lit conditions, the images are washed out. The flash tends to over saturate the subject to some extent in close ups.
The mini USB port doubles as a charging point. You can use the device as a mass storage and access the

64MB of internal memory; memory expansion is possible via the MicroSD slot. The MicroSD slot, being under the battery compartment, isn’t hot swappable.
Media manager, based on Roxio Software, comes with the BlackBerry Desktop Manager Suite. This allows BlackBerry to integrate multimedia technology and capabilities like ripping audio CDs to the phone, managing playlists on it, and more. BlackBerry Curve 8300 comes with the personal manager and organizer apps that most smartphones come with. Synchronize the calender, memo, task-lists, etc. with your PC via Bluetooth or USB, or even with your corporate network if your company runs a BlackBerry Enterprise Server.
The speaker independent voice dialling application called VoiceSignal workes really well. The 8300 performed well in our network reception test, with very few call drops. There is no Wi-Fi or 3G support.
Priced at $599, The BlackBerry Curve 8300 is a good bye for those who demand executive features (PDA Functionality) and a bit of multimedia. However, lack of Wi-Fi should be noted.

Not all manufacturers are innovators of style. Ever since it launched the Chocolate a year ago, LG has been on to something is its new classy mobile line-up, of which the Black Label Series KE970 (a.k.a. shine) is what we got to lay our hands on. Encased in a full-metallic body with with a rich brush finish, the K970 is as rugged as a tank. It is wider than most mobiles. The highlight here is its 2.2-inch LCD, which not only looks good while it is on, but doubles up as a mirror when not lit up!
The keys offer good tactile feedback. LG has introduced the scroll button for the first

time, but we found it rather inconvenient: it is very frustrating to keep scrolling through long lists and Web pages. Probably because of the scroller, the UI is vertical menu-based rather then icon-based-rather unintuitive. The Shine has an excellent 2.0 MP camera with auto focus. It is certified by Schneidr Kreuznach, the German company that certifies photo-optics. The camera does live up to its hype, and is one of the best we have seen thus far. You can choose from a host of different resolutions and there are five white balance settings, along with a few artistic effects. The camera is a bit sluggish, though. The media player is decent. Bluetooth 1.2 with A2DP support lets you listen to your music in full stereo on a supported buletooth handset.
There is support to view most common office formats, but there’s just 50 MB of internal memory, and you’ll need to use the microSD slot to add more-irritatingly, it’s not hot-swappable. lost Mobile Track (LMT) function is inbuilt to allow you to trace the phone in case you lost it.
