Philips 598 - A Man's Strength with a Woman's Intelligence
The era of cell phones. You can't make a single step without seeing, hearing or thinking something about cell phones. But this is quite reasonable. They're so cute!
Here's another one: Philips 598. A nice and cute gadget for us, ladies... the ones who love stylish black things. If you look at it, you see a black phone and you think that there are millions of such "black holes' in the world.
However, let me warn you: you'd make a H-U-G-E mistake, if you underestimated it. This phone is actually made for almost exclusively for women.
You know what?! There are many, very many cell phones made for ladies, but you see it at once, that they are for ladies. I mean, their exterior has always something typically... girlish: it's pink, red, having something colorful, flowers, hearts and so on. The List is endless.
But the Philips 598 has a classic black look, but a very girlish mind. Let's take a look here:
- woman's diary and calendar (don't have an idea what this could mean);
- a shopping list (how could actually use a cell phone without the shopping list?);
- a discounts manager (comes as an add-on to the shopping list);
- personal card info (is it something like the soldiers wear around their necks?);
- index of your body weight (why don't all the cell phones have this one?);
- measurements of the basal metabolic level (huh?).
As for some manly features of the gadget, I'd mention the 128MB of internal in-built memory. This would be enough for you to listen to at least one hour of music. If this is too little, consider having a microSD card. The Philips 598 comes with a memory slot, supporting these cards, but only up to 1 GB.
Other features include the 262k color TFT display, measuring 1.8''. The 1.3 megapixel camera will provide you with photos of high quality. As far as I know the best mobile phones' cameras come with Samsung and LG phones (this is my personal opinion though - I think the photos produced are clearer and with less artifacts). The gadget supports JAVA applications and games: you won't get bored in any case with this amount of music and probably a lot of games (don't forget the girlish things mentioned earlier: can't wait to get my hands on that one!!!)
I know some of you disagree that a stylish and a true girl could have a BLACK phone. I'd say that this is only exterior; its interior is purely PINK.

Thanks Mini MP3 Phone for being a Samsung
Samsung, Samsung... I don't know what it can actually mean in Japanese or Taiwanese, and if it means anything whatsoever, but I guess Samsung knows how to conquer a music loving heart. Their new half MP3 Player half mobile phone will become extremely popular both among girls and the other side of the globe's population for sure.
Let's look through its specs and see why I am so sure about the potential of this gadget. First of all, I actually fell in love with the piece when I only saw the photo. It's not to wonder that Samsung gets prizes here and there mostly for their gadgets' designs.
The new Mini MP3 Phone from Samsung has one distinctive feature, which makes it stand out among other similar gadgets. Depending on the current state of the device, whether it is swung close or open, the phono-MP3 player performs a different function. For example, when it is closed - it is an MP3 player, with track title display, showing also the album name, elapsed time and other MP3 player common features. When you swing the gadget open, it reveals to you all the beauty of its keypad for dialing numbers.
With all this variety of multimedia functions the gadget weighs only 73 grams! Isn't this amazing? I mean, ten years ago, when I was already big enough to pronounce "MP3", few had even an idea of what an MP3 player might look like and now Samsung changes AGAIN the idea of a sleek MP3 player, which you will not be ashamed to brag with. The plenty of colors to choose from (black, white, pink, blue and orange) will provide you with the necessary diversity you might need in life.
The storage of the device is 1 gigabyte of data, which means approximately 250 high quality songs of some 3-4 minutes. Oh yes, I forgot to mention... Those wise guys have also stuck a 1.3 megapixel camera into the gadget. I know it's not much of a camera for a modern mobile phone, but think of this correlation: size vs. functionality. It is as small as a box of matches (a bit longer thought), weighs 73 grams and has everything a girl could possibly need in a gadget of this size: a mobile phone, an MP3 player and a decent camera.
And by the by, if you get bored of your everyday playlist, feel free to download music from the internet using the gadgets' podcasting function (don't mind the bill in the end of the month).
I know some might say that every self-respecting brand produces phones having even more functions than the Mini MP3 Phone, but be sure it will be much bigger in size and will be heavier.
Well, I know that the final call is your call and my job is only providing you with the information I find relevant, but believe me, there are hardly gadgets to comply to this standard of miniaturized high-tech entertainment center. When it comes out 'into the wild' the device will firstly find its testing ground in Europe and then will be spreading its influence over the music possessed minds over the rest of the globe.

Merging a Super Sport Car and Super Cell Phone...
Only think of it: the best mobile phone brand combined with one of the best sport car brand in the world... What could this result in?
I’ve always despised that commercial where different mobile phones' content companies offer us some kind of music, ring tones, video clips and silly pictures. Why I don’t like them? The main argument they provide for us buying their merchandise is 'exclusivity'. They try to convince us that if you change your ring tone you will become exclusive at once.
However, I don't find using a mass produced thing exclusive and there is a limited number of people who can actually afford themselves some exclusive things.
If I think of something exclusive I may think for example of the new Nokia 8800 Sirocco Phone, which is a partnership between Nokia and the prestigious sporty automobile manufacturer Lamborghini.
This phone is the exact picture of what I call 'exclusivity'. This gadget is exclusive because there are only 500 pieces produced and they are available only at Lamborghini dealerships. I'm sure that only those driving a Lamborghini will afford themselves a Lamborghini-Nokia phone too.
On the other hand, besides the limited edition the phone bears not so many other signs of exclusivity. The phone has everything other Nokia phones have, such as a pretty good camera, a nice colorful display, 128 Mb of internal memory, MP3 player, and some other functions. In the "exclusive feats" category though could be also found the following:
• the scratch resistant color display (sounds almost like a watch);
• the laser etched Lamborghini logo on the mobile's front and on the stainless steel case;
• Lamborghini-made special ball bearings on the slider mechanism especially for this gadget;
• video documentary, themes and ring tones dedicated to Lamborghini.
I know that some guys would say that such phones are only '4 da boyz', but I guess I'm also allowed to love speed and everything able to reach high speed.
So if you wish to speak of exclusivity try thinking about something really exclusive and not of something mass-produced or what you could see, hear or touch the next day on your way to wherever you need.
I actually don't even hope of having such a phone, because I don't think I'll be driving a real Lamborghini, but I find such gizmos really useful if you speak both about style and functionality: such pieces draw attention and be sure to be in the center of the party when you draw this phone out of your purse.

Thin & Sexy
The Sony Ericsson co. is one of the leading cell phones manufacturers in Europe. The successfully 700 and 800 series became most wanted among the citizens of Europe and Japan. Style and quality- these are the main components of all the latest Sony Ericsson products. No doubt, Sony does know how to make things better. All this concerns the new SonyEricsson creation – thin and sexy SonyEricsson z610.
The z610 is a stylish 3G (third generation) clamshell phone with the cool mirror finish and really sexy design. Z610 has no superb features like some other SonyEricsson phones but the design takes all the attention. The main design novelty of z610 is its OLED front display. It gives you a great feeling; can't even explain it. You got to see it! You don't see the display itself, it seems like information appears right on the body of the phone.
And now, all the specifications of Z 610, in all the details:
The main TFT screen has 220 x 176 resolution and 262k color depth capacity. The external OLED screen has resolution of only 128 x 36 mm, but I think it's enough to view the time, battery and network capacity. The integrated camera of z 612 works in 2 mega pixels resolution and has a 2.5 digital zoom. Moreover, with this feature you will have the possibility to take pictures and send them directly to website.
What about the music and entertainment? The z 610 has a very powerful mp3 player that supports not only MP3 format and olds-school 72 voices polyphony but also ACC, ACC+ and EACC+ music formats. Moreover the games are JAVA MIDP 2.0 powered and run in 3D. Now, that's a good piece of news for gamers.
The connectivity of z 610 is absolutely superb. The z 610 can work in UTSM 2100, GSM 900/1800/1900 wave bands. Let's hope that this super capacity doesn't have an effect on the owner's health. Moreover z 610 has Bluetooth stereo (A2DP) and USB/USB 2.0 compatibility.
The standard z 610 comes with 64 MB Memory Stick Micro but supports up to 1GB.
Z610 comes in three colors: luster black – for boys, rose pink- for girls and airy blue- for half boys' half girls)))
There is also a wide range of accessories that will help you to make your SonyEriccson z 610 differ from others. Bluetooth Headset, Desk Stand, Music Desk Stands, Travel Charger, Portable Speakers, and Bluetooth Car Handsfree set; is that enough??? Besides ALL this you can buy a Bluetooth Car Stereo Speakerphone. Unfortunately, SonyEriccson z 610 still remains a prototype, but with all this information uncovered we hope to see it in our stores sooner or later.

Mobile phone for gadget-girls… or boys?
I again bother my head about purchasing new mobile phone. Of course, it shouldn't influence my work. But I never can keep from sharing my thoughts and feelings with you. At the same time you can give me some valuable advice and correct me if I'm wrong.
Now I'd like to introduce you new Motorola creation – Motofone. It will be in production only by the end of year. But now there is a lot of information to form an opinion about this new model. The first thing that grabs attention is its slimmie design. As I've already mentioned in some of my reviews, I do not like the total miniaturization that takes place in gadgets world. Small devices usually lack quality. But I change my opinion when talking about slim tools. It should be handy for both using and carrying this. It has only 9 mm thick. I don't quite understand whether it is a female, male or unisex model.
Actually, this doesn't matter because I had a lot of stuff that is considered to be for men's using only. The other fact I like about this is that it has a lot of features. So, any gadget-girl won't be ashamed to have one of these. It particularly has new ClearVision display that guarantees sunlight elimination and high-quality color image. Polyphonic ringtones and speakerphone with loud voice volume guarantee that you won't miss a call. Of course, I'd use loud voice function only in noisy public places.
By the way, it also features new build-on icons that makes using this easier. As for me, I don't look for something very easy, but it's a real headache when you can't understand all options and find a necessary one.
I look forward to Motofone coming into market to experience this. If you manage earlier, share your opinion with me.

Sharp and its PV200
Looking through our blog I came to the conclusion that it lacks modern high-tech electronic gadgets. In fact, it's not my fault. I'm not going to justify myself, but it's really quite tricky to find something worth speaking about. At the same time, I don't want somebody of strong sex criticize this fact when visiting our site by chance. They think that we are interested in lipsticks, hair-driers, massagers and other girls' stuff only. But I know for sure that geek-girls are interested in everything that deals with gadgets' world. It doesn't matter whether it's an improved lipstick or the last laptop generation.
That's why I'd like to introduce you the PV200 that turned out to be a very popular device.
Sharp is going to begin its deliveries of the PV200 in North America. The producers are sure that this portative wireless device will be popular among Americans because of their sociality. This wonderful gadget gives the opportunity to chat on-line, send messages over MSN, Yahoo! and other messengers, play modern games, listen to music, check e-mail, etc.
It was developed entirely by Sharp and represents a hybrid of blackberry and cell phone. It features TFT LSD display, 1.3-megapixel camera with flash, QWERTY keyboard and other latest technical characteristics. It also includes a scheduler, an address book, MP3 player and everything one can imagine. I think that the PV200 is able to substitute many gadgets, because its possibilities include so many functions, that it's difficult to find something like this.
Frankly speaking, I like it and the most useful thing about this device is its size. I mean that being portative it can be taken anywhere.
