HTC Touch Cruise
Since their TouchFLO technology is rather popular. HTC sprouted another phone with that technology and squeezed cool GPS features plus a Tomtom map in it. Looks-wise, it reminds us of the Dopod P800. It has a mirrored (black chrome) border surrounding the screen which adds to its classiness, but could also pose a problem in direct sunlight as it is very reflective. The phone has a soft plastic texture on the side and back of the phone which enhances your grip on the phone. Others features by this phones are with quadband GSM, triband HSDPA, GPS, 400MHz processor, a goodly portion of RAM and ROM, the Touch Cruise is a decent alternative if you’re not hung up on absolutely having a keyboard.
o2 Cocoon
They have always been rather bland and boring. Producing phones to pander to the business crowd. But a couple of months back they launched this music beauty. A very different look and approach if you ask us and that is why we anticipate it to do well on the charts, if it ever makes an appearance. The O2 Cocoon mobile phone is made for music, it holds a massive music library with up to a 500 tracks. Thanks to two powerful stereo speakers, the sound qualities are breathtakingly crisp and clear.
Taking snaps on your way to a concert is a breeze with the O2 Cocoon. The mobile device comes with a 2-megapixel camera, complete with auto-focus, 4x digital zoom, built-in flash and full screen viewfinder.
Motorola MOTO Q9h
The MOTO Q has been eluding us for years and to whip its local market share into shape, we are treated with a perfect PA. Regain iconic status? At 4.6 inches high by 2.6 inches wide by 0.4 inch deep and 4.7 ounces, the smartphone is still relatively thin overall but wider than the first Q series. Summary features like, GSM 850/900/1800/1900 band, messaging / Data Services- SMS, WWW, MMS, E-Mail, email protocols-POP3, SMTP, IMAP4, Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.0
software installed like Opera, file manager and voice notes. The Motorola Q9h is a great messaging device with a spacious QWERTY keyboard, and also offers decent call quality and multimedia performance.
Nokia N82
Yet another mega Nseries phone, could this be replacing the N95 as numero uno? Whatever it is we love the 5 megapixel camera. Global Positioning System function, HSPDA/WiFi connectivity and symbian Operating System. The Symbian smartphone continues to offer Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS, and it’s a solid performer to boot. With all that going for it, it’s really a bummer that the N82 has such a horrible design. The hardware feels a bit cheap, and the navigation buttons leave much to be desired. The positive thing to say is that the N82 isn’t all that heavy. At 114g it is on a par with lighter mobiles, in fact. But it is vast for a candybar style mobile being 112mm tall, 50.2mm wide and a rather generous 17.3mm thick. The upshot is that you are going to need fairly large pockets if you want to carry the N82 around daily.
Samsung SGH-D880
How do you like a dual SIM slot on a anorexic phone? Already launched in Singapore, it could solve your multiple SIM card problem while looking stylish at the same time.
Samsung were first among the majors to announce a dual SIM handset in October 2007 - the D880 Duos. Rather recently Samsung announced the next of kin - Samsung D780 and are planning to expand the lineup even further in 2008. Using two SIM cards in one phone is increasingly becoming an option many are willing to consider. Using both a personal and a business number with one single handset, saving some money by combining two different plans or network carriers, or regularly using local prepaid cards on business trips - to name just a few reasons why one should be interested in a dual-SIM mobile.

Sony Ericsson W960i
We are still behind in terms of launching of new series Sony Ericsson phones. Nevertheles this 8GB baby makes us droll with its Walkman-Smartphone combo. Let’s hope it is not a flop like the W950i. Other external observations? Well, the touch sensitive, 2.6in, 240 x 320, 256,000-colour screen seemed a little on the dull side when compared to other recent Sony Ericsson offerings, while the shiny silver lanyard anchor on the left of the handset looks horribly out of place. Beyond the 8GB of storage you also get 256MB of Flash memory though the OS takes up 96MB of this.
Apple iPhone
The biggest news that shock the mobile industry in the first hlf of the year has yet to reach the market. Although we are depressed that it is still not here (officialy), no doubt it would be a favourite for many user even if it is lacking in 3G. The browser on the iPhone is excellent when connected via Wi-Fi, displaying web pages in their full glory, not WAP versions. There’s no need to squint to read text, just double tap or use a pinching motion to zoom in or out. Supported email services include Yahoo!, Gmail, .Mac, and AOL. You can also enter settings for non-webmail services. You can view HTML emails, but you can’t mark spam, and there is some lag when typing mails.
Sony Ericsson W890i
You might be sick of the design, however the features are another story. Armed with HSPDA, 3 Megapixel camera and walkman 3.0, it is ready to assault our charts. You can store up to 1,800 music tracks on one mobile phone! Its 32 MB internal memory is complemented by its 2 GB memory card, which gives you even more space to store your entertainment. The W890i also displays artists’ names and lets you tune in to your favourite radio stations with its radio tuner. You’ll also be able to surf the internet with incredible connection speeds, and download files and send photos and videos taken on its 3.2-megapixel camera. The W890i has soft, curved edges and a brushed steel finish, and it’s just 1 cm thick.
Samsung SGH-G800
Next year should he hailed as the year of the camera phones as so many mega camera phones are set to hit us. This device supports optical zoom and Bluetooth printing. Just too sweet to pass up and we reckon it would be an instant hit on the chart. The SGH-G800 also has an in-built camera with 4x zoom, so you can capture images on the spur of the moment, no matter where you are. Samsung SGH-G800 has all the primary multimedia features and functions you should expect from a high-performance mobile phone, including MMS messages, an FM radio, a 16-million colour TFT screen, a hands-free mode and superb polyphonic ringtones.
LG Viewty KU990
A quick test of this device shows that it is more of a camera than a phone. Certainly, no one can resist the Schneider-Kreuznach lens and the 5 megapixel images rendered. And check this out, it is able to record videos up to 120 frame per second. Sending images to family and friends is possible using MMS, Bluetooth and USB connectivity options. The KU 990 supports MP3/AAC++/3GP/MPEG4 files for listening to music or watching DIVX videos while on the move. Java support caters for gaming with the ability to download additional games. An FM radio is also included. Store images, videos and other files on up to 2GB of external memory or on the shared 100MB internal memory.
Enjoy and choose your favorite. Any experience on those gadget? Just drop comment.

Nice phones, surely the Iphone must be the best of the bunch (although I have never seen the HTC Cruise in real life - did it actually made it to production or was I scraped on the way through design and development?)

Very cool phone. I have a Sony Ericsson W890i for about 4 years. I really love it. It’s the best phone I have ever had.
