Cool Hunting
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, Samsung's A920, Motorola's ROKR, LG's VX9800, Nokia's N91 and the T-Mobile SDA. Each one is reviewed for what it is, but also compared to the others in terms of usability, portability and sound quality.
At the time it was written Sprint had just launched their music service, but Verizon's was not yet announced. Cargomag.com compliments the magazine story with a timely review of online mobile music services.

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...
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...
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...
When it goes on sale tomorrow, the T-Mobile G1 will be the very first mobile device to utilize Google's open source operating system, Android. I've been using a G1 for the last couple of weeks and am really impressed—a relief because since the iPhone there really hasn't been a mobile that I've been excited about. While the G1 comes in a nice form-factor with...
You might have noticed the who is johnny X ads here on CH promoting the European launch of the Sony Ericsson Xperia. In addition to a brilliant screen, handy form-factor and sleek design the Xperia offers users a variety of downloadable home screens. These panels, as they're called, are like interactive desktops and allow immediate access to content and functionality. Sony Ericsson offers an...
