The design- Nokia E6-00
When it comes to stylish mobile phones the Nokia mobile phone has never failed to impress, and when it comes to the Nokia E6-00 that has been designed using premium materials such as glass and stainless steel, you’ll find yourself holding a comfortable and stylish phone. Impressive to the eye and user friendly- the Nokia E6-00 combines a QWERTY keyboard and a touchscreen seamlessly to bring you the best of both worlds. Unlike many phones with keyboards the QWERTY keyboard on the Nokia E6-00 has been exceptionally designed with keys that are comfortable to press and are well laid out- you even get dedicated question mark, comma and full stop keys, making life and communication super easy. The touchsceen is responsive to touch and offers haptic feedback.
The impressive resolution of 640x480 provides a crisp image, making this phone brilliant for both personal and business use. Overall, the Nokia E6-00 has been touted the “business phone” not only for it’s functionality and design but for the many other features we’ll explore below.
The Nokia E6-00 Lifestyle
If you’re looking for a business and personal phone that will keep you in the loop, provide opportunities to access crucial software for work outside the office and provide you with the right hardware to back up your software, then the Nokia E6-00 will be hard to beat.

The Nokia E6-00 is also capable of USB On-The-Go connectivity, which allows the connection of USB flash drives and offers exceptional battery life for those who rely heavily on their phone every day.
The Nokia E6-00 Software and Apps
The Nokia E6-00 runs on the new and innovative Symbian Anna platform.

Apple iPhone 4s vs Samsung Galaxy S2 vs Galaxy Nexus vs HTC Sensation XE
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus has been officially unveiled by Google and Samsung, just two weeks after Apple dropped its iPhone 4S - and if you're an Android fan, there's more than just that juicy new Android Ice Cream Sandwich to sink your teeth into. But with the Samsung Galaxy S2 and the HTC Sensation XE already winning Android hearts and minds in the field, which of the top bevvy of smartphones is for you? We chucked the contenders into our virtual ring for a battle of the specs.
Design and Build
Samsung's mobiles have lots to offer in terms of raw power and multimedia capability, but don't put a lot of emphasis on design for design's sake. We love the Galaxy S2, but of the three handsets we've played with (all except the Galaxy Nexus, so far) it lacks that premium feeling of the iPhone and the XE. The body feels plasticky and the battery case is thin to the point of flimsy, and although we've yet to try it, from the pictures and video we've seen of the Galaxy Nexus, things are much the same on the latest Google superphone. Both Sammys have lots going for them, but if rock-solid build is high on your list of priorities, you should be focussing your attention on the iPhone 4S or the Sensation XE.
The HTC Sensation XE continues HTC's tradition of stamping its phones out of single blocks of aluminium, and the result is a hefty, industrial looking handset with some cool new red highlights to compliment the Beats By Dr. Dre branding. It's the heaviest phone on test at 151g, but the added heft makes it feel solid rather than bulky, like the difference between an expensive watch and a Casio. If slick design is high on your list of must-haves in a phone, but you're no Apple fan, the XE is a solid choice.
If you are an Apple fan, however, or have no preconceptions either way, the iPhone 4S is also a beautifully designed mobile. Wrapped up in aluminium antenna band and with glass on its back as well as its front, it's extremely pretty while also shying away from the super-legera weights of the Samsung handsets. Our two gripes are that, on the outside, it's damn near identical to the iPhone 4 (there isn't even any 4S branding, just the word 'iPhone') diminishing your bragging rights for owning the latest Apple handset.. Second, that glass back is prone to shattering when dropped, something that isn't a problem on any of the other handsets.
Processor
On paper, the HTC Sensation XE has the fastest processor, bumping up from the original Sensation to a 1.5GHz dual-core chip, eliminating some of the jitteriness of its predecessor. The Galaxy S2 and the Galaxy Nexus offer 1.2GHz processors, while Apple's iPhone uses its proprietary A5 chip (as found in the iPad). In practice, however, the 4S, XE and the S2 are all beautifully smooth to use, and for everyday use you'd be hard-pressed to see a difference in performance between them. The Galaxy Nexus packs the same 1.2GHz processor speed as the S2, so we'd expect it to stack up similarly performance-wise when it's released towards the end of the year.
Operating system
Apple's iPhone 4S comes running iOS 5, the latest Apple operating system that adds 5GB of free cloud storage via iCloud and Siri, Apple's talkative personal assistant. Apple claim that iOS 5 is its biggest software update in its history, with over 200 new features added to the operating system, including a new and improved notifications system which gives you updates from mail, Twitter, Facebook etc. within whichever app you happen to be using at the time.
The Galaxy Nexus will be the first Android phone to run Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, the first Android OS release designed to work on both smartphones and tablets. New features include an upgrade to the camera software, which now offers image stabilisation, better auto-focus, face detection and a new panoramic mode as standard. As the Nexus comes with an NFC chip, it can also take advantage of Android Beam, an Ice Cream Sandwich which allows two NFC-enabled mobiles to swap contact details, favourite websites and media by moving them into contact with each other. The most radical feature is probably Face Unlock, which does away with passwords and traditional unlock screens, unlocking your phone by scanning your face with the front-facing camera.
The HTC Sensation XE runs Android Gingerbread 2.3, but comes with HTC's own gorgeous Sense UI running over the top. Vanilla Android is pretty minimalist in its design, especially compared to Apple's iOS, so the added flare of HTC's Sense skin is a welcome addition, but like the S2, XE owners will have to wait for an upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich to get their hands on all of the Galaxy Nexus' new features.
The Samsung Galaxy S2 currently only runs the vanilla Android 2.3, but expect an upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich in short order once the Galaxy Nexus arrives.
Camera
The Galaxy Nexus is a little disappointing in pure numbers terms, only coming with a 5MP camera to the other three handsets' 8MP snappers. It's not totally fair to judge cameras on MP rating alone (there are other factors that make a difference to image quality other than raw pixel count), but we thought we'd moved firmly into 8MP territory by now. However, Samsung is claiming an instantaneous shutter speed and an improved panorama mode, so we'll wait to get our hands on it before knocking it too hard.
The other cameras all photograph at 8MP, as mentioned, and all four are capable of recording video at 1080p.
Screen
Each of these phones, bar the iPhone 4S, come with seriously expansive displays. The Galaxy Nexus leads the pack in sheer screen real estate at 4.65 inches, followed by the the Galaxy S2 and the Sensation XE, which both offer up 4.3-inchers. Bringing up the rear is the iPhone 4S, which sticks to Apple's standard issue 3.5-inch display.
Where the 940x640 iPhone shines, however, is in its Retina Display, which is a fancy description for its screen's super-high pixel-per-inch count (PPI) count. The iPhone 4S has a higher PPI than any of the other three handsets on test, making for a sharper viewing experience.
The Samsung Galaxy S2 has a lower resolution of 800x480. In contrast the Galaxy Nexus has a full HD resolution of 1290x720 - the highest we've seen on a smartphone, which should mean incredibly detailed pictures. In addition, both do both rock Super AMOLED displays, where colours look more vivid than on its competitors, and both handsets have large displays perfect for watching video on.
The HTC Sensation XE offers a 960x540 Super LCD screen, which suffers from being in a comparison with three other displays that all have exceptional features. Don't get us wrong, the screen on the Sensation XE is great, it just doesn't have a standout USP like the high PPI of the Retina Display or the rich contrast of the Super AMOLED screens.
Storage
The Apple iPhone 4S comes in three different storage capacities; 16GB, 32GB and 64GB, and has no option to upgrade these with external storage cards. Sadly, this means that you'll be forking over extra cash for extra storage, and the iPhone 4S base model is already a pricey enough handset as it is.
Android handsets have always been much more liberal about Micro-SD card use, so their base storage is less important. The Galaxy S2 comes in 16GB and 32GB models, with storage expandable up to another 32GB via Micro-SD, while the HTC Sensation XE comes with 1GB storage - so a Micro-SD card is a must. We don't know how much storage space the Galaxy Nexus will come packing, but again, the base will almost certainly be upgradeable through cards.
iPhone 4s vs iPhone 4
MAKER OF SHINY TOYS Apple has announced the Iphone 4S, not the Iphone 5, so we take a look at the differences between the old and the new.
For starters the handset doesn't look any different from its predecessor, not a single thing has changed. So no one will even know that you have the new version. Considering it's an Apple product we expected it to at least be a bit thinner. However, Apple does claim that the device is a massive 3g lighter. With no face lift or tummy tuck, it's the hardware and software where we find some upgrades.
We'll start with the hardware and look at the processor first. This time round the Iphone 4S has been given an A5 dual-core chip. It's an upgrade from the A4 processor in the Iphone 4, which is only single-core. It's the same chip that the Ipad 2 has, which is clocked at 1GHz but it's unclear if this is the same on the Iphone 4S. Nevertheless, the fruit themed firm claims it can deliver up to twice the power and seven times faster graphics.
The other major hardware upgrade is to the phone's camera. The 5MP camera on the Iphone 4 has been bumped up to 8MP. Apple claims it "might be the best camera ever on a phone". It also has a bigger aperture of f/2.4, the illumination sensor has been ‘improved' and there's additional face detection. When it comes to video the camera will be able to shoot in HD 1080p as opposed to HD 720p, and it will have added video stabilisation that the Iphone 4 camera doesn't have.
Compared to the Iphone 4 the camera sounds like a decent upgrade, but compared to other smartphones it just brings the Iphone up to speed with current specifications.
Apple has made an improvement to the Iphone's storage too. The Iphone 4S offers up to 64GB of internal storage, which is twice as much as the biggest Iphone 4. The Iphone has never had a memory card slot for expansion so this will help users who require more space, especially now that video is in HD 1080p. It will also be available in 16GB and 32GB models.
You're probably aware of the issues surrounding the Iphone 4 antenna. Well Apple claims to have sorted this out with the Iphone 4S. It can apparently automatically switch between its two antennas for better call quality. The Iphone 4S doesn't have LTE technology but it does have upgraded HSDPA, which means better 3G speeds of 14.4Mbits/s compared to 7.2Mbits/s. This speed is possible in theory but is very unlikely to be reached at the moment and will depend on the mobile operator and your location.
The screen is still the same as before, but we'll let Apple off on this one seeing as how the Iphone 4 has such a high quality screen already. It has 640x960 resolution which results in a lovely 326ppi.
Moving on to software, the biggest change is the latest version of Apple's mobile operating system IOS. The Iphone 4S will come pre-loaded with IOS 5. Among other things it has an improved lock screen, a notifications centre, better Twitter integration and Imessage for instant messages.
All of this might be an upgrade from IOS 4 but it is swings and roundabouts when you compare it in terms of the two handsets. IOS 5 will be available for the Iphone 4 two days before the Iphone 4S goes on sale. In theory the new version of the operating system will run better on the Iphone 4S's better hardware.
Siri is a new voice control system that helps users carry out tasks on the Iphone. It can do basic things like call a contact or send a text. Furthermore you can ask Siri to arrange a meeting, set an alarm or ask a question like, "Do I need an umbrella?" Apple said "Siri understands what you say, knows what you mean and even talks back."
It is unclear whether this feature will be exclusive to the Iphone 4S but if it is, and it works as claimed, then it will be a significant upgrade to the voice recognition software on the Iphone 4.
Overall the Iphone 4S is not a massive upgrade from the Iphone 4. It has a better processor, an improved camera and more storage. We're disappointed that the handset has had nothing done to it to make it different from the Iphone 4 in terms of looks. IOS 5 is an upgrade, of course, but this will be available for Iphone 4 users as well.
If you're an Iphone 4 user then we recommend you hang on for the Iphone 5 unless you're desperate for the better camera or larger storage capacity. If you have an Iphone that predates the Iphone 4 then the Iphone 4S will be a nice upgrade.

Samsung Monte S5620 Review
The Samsung Monte S5620 is Samsung’s attempt at putting a phone with smart phone technology into a smaller form factor. Being only slightly wider than a regular phone, it lacks the usual keyboard and is completely touch screen. The screen however is only 240x400 and that screams budget. The touchwiz interface means you’ll be using widgets to navigate your way around the screen, as is the case on many Samsung mobile phones in this category. It’s not that touchwiz is bad, it’s just seems fairly dated compared to newer smart phone technology.
A Samsung Monte S5620 review shows the phone to be pre-loaded with social networking widgets such as YouTube and FaceBook. You also have shortcuts via a widget to phone functions and apps.
Apart from the cheap display that tends to give you a small vibration when you press buttons, the design is actually good and fits into your hand nicely. Being a small form factor, it will also slip into your pocket nicely. The camera is good, although only 3.5MP, and the battery life is excellent for this type of mobile phone. Lastly the Samsung Monte S5620 also manages a strong 3G signal, meaning browsing should be fast.

Nokia N500 fast & light
the Nokia 500 – fast and light
Nokia launch of a new smartphone, the Nokia 500. Boasting a 1GHz processor, changeable back covers plus the Symbian Anna operating system, this is a nifty, personalisable performer that comes in at a price that won’t break the bank. Read on for all the details.
If you’re looking for a low-cost, full-function smartphone, then the Nokia 500 should meet your needs and more. As you can see from the pictures, this is a touch-screen phone. It’s got a 3.2-inch capacitive touch display, with a screen resolution of 640 x 360 pixels. On the back, there’s a 5-megapixel camera that can also capture video – ideal for holiday snaps and days out.
The Nokia 500 comes with the latest Symbian Anna OS, offering a refreshed UI, a better browser and split-screen messaging. As you’d expect, preinstalled you’ll find the latest version of Nokia Maps for free drive and walk navigation, plus you can download every other app you might need from the Store. If you’re anything like us, then your first week with the phone will be occupied filling and then emptying the phone of dozens of apps. The music player is complemented by an FM radio receiver and Internet Radio access to all the music and news you might need, not just from your own country, but from around the world. Social Media is catered for through the Social app, bringing friends’ updates to your homescreen.
Under the hood, there’s the 1GHz processor – allowing for plenty of oomph when you’re multitasking lots of apps or doing something extra-demanding. There’s 2GB of storage memory, plus the possibility of increasing this by a further 32GB using the micro-SD card slot. Like all our recent smartphones, it offers pentaband radio coverage so world travellers need never be out of touch, 3G data up to HSUPA speeds [that’s a whopping maximum speed of 5.8Mbps nowadays, by the way]. There’s also Bluetooth 2.1 and Wi-Fi b/g, as you’d expect. The phone measures 111.3 x 53.8 x 14.1mm and weighs in at 93g – lighter than any other Symbian^3 phone to date.
It’s also worth mentioning the battery, which despite the faster processor, still manages to pull off a very respectable performance. For us, that’s an absolute priority. The battery will see you through 5-7 hours talk time, 450+ hours in standby mode or up to 35 hours of music playback, if that’s your thing.
The Nokia 500 will be available in black and white varieties, black first and then white before the end of the year. And there’s three different-coloured back covers in the box. More colours for these will become available soon – including purple, azure blue, pink, coral red, orange and dark silver. Having seen the hot pink versions of the Nokia N8 and N9, we’re convinced that colour will win a lot of fans.
Excluding any local taxes or operator subsidies, the Nokia 500 will cost just €150 before taxes and subsidies, and will be available from the third quarter of this year.

HTC Wildfire S Review
The HTC Wildfire has long been a massively popular Android phone. Being a budget phone packed with features, it was almost hard to see how it could be improved, but they seem to have done it with the HTC Wildfire S.
Available in multiple colours, the HTC wildfire S mobile phones come with GPS and Google maps, along with the latest Gingerbread version of Android and a generous 512MB of memory. Sometimes it’s difficult to remember that the HTC wildfire S review is actually about a budget phone, as it seems to keep up with the big boys quite nicely. You can tell the difference with the screen however, which is only 3.2 inches and just 320x480 pixels. This is better than the original wildfire however, and you can tell that web pages are sharper.
The HTC wildfire S includes a 5-megapixel camera with autofocus and flash. It also has the capability of video recording, although not to HD standards like the more expensive phones. However the ability to tap into thousands of free Android apps for very little money makes this an ideal entry-level smart phone that is bristling with features.
