Interface

You will know the interface at once, for it is similar to other Sony Ericsson models. The main menu pops up before you as a grid consisting of 12 icons. Shortcut number navigation is on the K850i’s spec sheet as well – you can bind shortcuts to most menu items, that the handset comes pre-installed with, as well as own applications and files. That’s a big leap forward since platform A100.

Things to consider before splash money on O2 Xda trion aka HTC Hermes

the::mobile uk has a review of the O2 Xda Trion, and writes: "On the back you have the 2 megapixel camera on the top, with a self portrait mirror left to it (above is the external antenna connector) and a photo light right to the right: ... The camera also features a macro mode which is a nice gimmick but doesn't adds real value to the overall quality of the whole camera. ... the HTC Hermes isn't a "uber device" at all but what it does, it does well and it offers a feature richness, we haven't seen so far ..."

pros and cons to consider before splash money on Nokia N95

The phone, often described by Nokia executives as the ultimate multimedia computer, is being viewed as one of the most important handset releases for the Finnish phone giant.

Is it really what the “computers have become?” Nokia might be overstating the case, but they are moving in the right direction. A twin-slider phone, N95 has all the must have and bleeding features you should expect in a modern phone and some more.

A five-mega pixel camera, a video camera and audio features that can be described as luxurious. The web surfing experience is one of the best on any mobile phone, and there is a lot of under the hood improvements that make you believe that one day we will not lug around laptops.

It is the first Nokia phone with an integrated GPS system, which I am having a tough time trying to get working, so for now I am leaving that one out. I won’t bore you with specs – you can read them on Nokia website.

The quad band phone is expensive and will set you back by about $750. You can buy the phone on the Internet for about $850 or so. So before you rush out, you might want to pay attention to twelve things about this phone, after three days of continuous use.

Nokia N95 review

Price range: £0.00 - £493.49

What is it: All-in-one handset with built-in sat-nav, MP3 player, Wi-Fi and 5-megapixel camera

What we think: If we had to rescue just one device from a burning house, it would be the N95...

Every now and then a product comes along that promises to revolutionise the market. The N95 is such a beast, combining satellite navigation, a cutting-edge 5-megapixel camera, a media player and PDA functions in a handset that somehow isn't the size of a brick.

If you look hard enough (and don't mind an astronomical tariff) you can find the N95 for less than �on a monthly contract, but the SIM-free price is an eye-watering �.

Design
Nokia knows how to put a phone together. Pick up the N95 and you simply won't believe that so much technology has been squeezed into such a light, palm-friendly device.

Nokia has embraced a two-way sliding design that lets you push the screen up and let your fingers roam over a nicely textured keypad, or slide it down to reveal a fashionably touch-sensitive suite of media-player controls. This also switches the N95's stunning 66mm (2.6-inch) screen into landscape mode and activates its new 3D multimedia menu -- more of which later.

The screen shifts to landscape format for watching video or listening to music
