Cool Hunting
On Friday I managed to procure a Sony Ericsson K750i and after spending the weekend with it I'm very impressed. In basically the same form factor as the T610, they've jammed in a 2 Megapixel camera, MP3 player, games and all the organizational tools I use in my Treo. While it's not a Treo replacement, it's definitely a great alternate phone for one who has come to expect massive functionality. I was able to sync easily with my Mac (after following this hack) to get all the calendar and address book data I needed. The high resolution screen afford easy viewing of both calendar and email.
The user interface on the 750i follows the same paradigm as other Sony Ericsson handsets. It has been improved, however, to take full advantage of the phone's more powerful processor. Little things like transparency and animation make moving around the device more pleasurable and well organized menus help you find what you're looking for pretty quickly. I especially appreciate how the interface rotates when the phone is in its horizontal camera mode.

Sony's new titanium HD cam is the epitome of consumer-friendly. Besides the fact that it's the size of a stuffed wallet (it's the smallest HD camera in the world), it includes a button labeled "easy," making great HD video attainable for anyone. The button allows the shooter to simply point and shoot without any concern for settings. While a great feature for most, utilizing...
With dual LCD screens, Samsung's new Ultra Music Phone is a novel approach to a multi-function device. Like the iPhone, the Ultra Music Phone (SGH-F300) is a candybar-style handset that addresses the need for different interfaces to execute different functions. Screens and controls on both sides—only one side can be turned on at a time—divide the labor, isolating basic phone functions on one side...
The March Issue of Cargo Magazine is just hitting newsstands and subscribers' mailboxes and is definitely one to check out. In addition to being one of the best issues of the men's shopping magazine so far, it includes a story I wrote for them about music phones. The beautifully photographed (thanks, James Wojcik!) piece reviews eight music phones currently on the market—Sony Ericsson's W600i,...
Our friends over at Compact Impact just alerted us to the fact that they are getting some of these incredible little Sony twisty 5 Megapixel still and video cameras in time for the holidays. So, of course, we added it to the Gift Guide (in addition to a few other things)....
Mobiado is among the few handset manufacturers focused exclusively on fashion phones. Their latest, the Executive Model, is available with Cocobolo or Honduran Rosewood casing and has stainless steel buttons. The interface is based on Nokia's Series 40 UI and though Mobiado is not affiliated with Nokia, the guts of the phone are presumably similar as well. The feature set is standard for a...
Announced yesterday, the 8800 is the latest in Nokia's high-end slider series (my personal favorite of all the range). Featuring a stainless steel case and a ball bearing assisted slider, this statement in elegance is also packed with the usual array of features-- SVGA camera, Bluetooth, Triband GSM, high res screen, mp3 ring tones, digital music player, 3d rendering engine and more. What's even...
