Motorola, the CLIQ 2

If you look for a great Android phone with slide-out QWERTY keyboard byMotorola, the CLIQ 2 (released: March, 2011) will be a good pick for you.
Generally, it is a 3.7-inch smartphone with Android 2.2 (Froyo) OS, latest version of MOTOBLUR, T-Mobile network, and a 1GHz processor. The Cliq 2 has also a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera with dual LED flash, automatic focus, and in-phone image editing tools.
Here are my notes on this device: (You can read the CLIQ 2’s details below or check it out on Amazon)

Firstly, MOTOBLUR. As you know, we can use the MOTOBLUR to sync contacts, posts, messages, photos and much more–from our favorite social media sites, work and personal e-mail, and last.fm—as well as deliver them automatically to the home screen. Also, the MOTOBLUR can locate or remotely wipe lost or stolen devices, and automatically restore a user’s contacts, log-in information, home screen customizations and e-mail with one username and password.
Secondly, 1GHz processor. Basically, it is enough to make the CLIQ 2 snappy and smooth. However, as a matter of fact, the CLIQ 2 doesn’t feel as fast as other Froyo devices. Maybe, it’s because of the MOTOBLUR.
Thirdly, 5MP camera. It proves to be able to produce crisp images with minimal noise and well balanced colors. Certainly, you can’t compare it to the 8MP one.
Fourthly, battery life. Motorola suggests up to 7.9hrs talktime or up to 13 days standby from the CLIQ 2′s battery . Of course, all depends on the way you use it. But, Motorola didn’t make such a suggestion from nonsense certainly.
That’s all from me. You can find this device on Amazon (price from: $0.01, it varies based on service type), and take the following details for more consideration.

BenQ-Siemens Snake Phone

Snake Phone Concept of BenQ Siemens.
BenQ Siemens conception phone, known as “Snake”, can be worn as rings or necklaces, preferably in warm weather. Notice the existence of media playback buttons, the usual answer/refuse call keys and even a tiny display, perhaps for showing the time and missed calls. The figure of the device is very motivating, although the handset seems rather fragile and from what can be seen, its speakers are on the inside section.

After loosing so much money in Europe, they finally brought up this cool new cellular phone design, that, amazingly, looks like a snake and can be rapped around your wrist .We don’t know exactly how this phone will be operated or how will you be able to communicate using this device because I don’t see any physical or virtual keyboard.Actually all I see is the “answer” and “reject call” buttons and the “play” and “pause” buttons, probably used in media-player applications. And at the back of the phone IBenQ Siemens Concept Phone, which is known as "Snake", can be worn as bracelets or necklaces, preferably in hot weather.

 Note the presence of the media playback buttons, the usual answer or reject call keys, and even a small screen, perhaps to present time and missed calls. The shape of the device is very interesting, even if the handset seems quite delicate, and what can be seen, its speakers are on the inside section

Having a cell phone that can wrap around your wrist or armrest can be useful, specially if you are prone to losing things. But this does not mean someone wants the product created by Visionaries mobile snake wrapped around his arms. Imagine unwrapping one of those things, if you receive a call. Yikes! Reducing design to a manageable size, and this phone would probably be a great success with people who frequent the gym.

Samsung the Ultra Smart F700

Samsung have announced a new accumulation to their Ultra collection of mobile phones, with the Ultra Smart F700. The phone, which they're calling 'revolutionary' (doesn't every manufacturer?), will be showcased at next week's 3GSM World Congress, so we're sure to hear more about it, and get our mitts on it then.

 

The phone facial appearance a full touch screen user interface on its 2.78 inch colour display (440x240 pixel resolution), has a slide-out full QWERTY keypad, and VibeTonz technology that provides tactile feedback to the user.

They've utilised a 'drag and drop' interface allowing easier menu navigation, music play list control, and other functions. Is this sounding like the iPhone to you? Touch screens certainly seem to be the 'in thing' right now; I wonder how many more manufacturers will beat Apple to it...

Anyway, back to the Samsung. The Ultra Smart F700 features HSDPA giving a maximum records transfer speed of 7.2Mbps. This means a 4MB song could be downloaded in around 4 seconds.

The phone has a full HTML web browser, a whopping 5-megapixel camera with auto focus, Bluetooth, WAP, Java, and USB. It features microSD expansion, and measures up at 104 x 50 x 16.4mm.
