Motorola MPx220




This is my first attempt to review a product here on Ciao, so I hope that this is of some use to you.
Firstly, a bit about the Phone. I upgraded to this phone from a Panasonic X70, and before that I was a 'Nokia man', and to be honest, whilst this phone came close, i'm still into Nokia phones, having for the moment gone back to my Nokia 6310. Not because this phone is that bad, just because I really missed using my 6310. I believe this is one of the first mainstream phones to be readily available in Black, and I think that is what appealed to me most. Historically, most clamshell phones I have encountered have been in silver or variant of, whilst other types of phones where generally black or grey, till Nokia introduced the swappable covers. This, I believe, makes this one of the more unique phones on the market, and certainly makes it stand out.

Basic Apps/Functions and desciption
Internet Explorer
This is a variant of the desktop version, but you can view full webpages through a GPRS connection rather than the scaled down WAP versions. This can be expensive if you don't have a data bundle from your network operator.

Outlook
Again this is a variant of the desktop version. This seamlessly synchronises with your desktop PC version, and handles both emails and texts, using the similar folder layout of Outlook.
Windows Media Player
This is also a variant of the desktop version. I have only used it to play MP3 files, but I believe you can play video, using the SD card function detailed next. The phone does come with a set of headphones for this purpose, and you can also use the loudspeaker on the phone to play the sound, which is of suprisingly good quality.

SD Card
This uses the popular SD memory cards, which slot into the phone on its side. Mine came with an 8Mb card, but you can obviously upgrade this to 16mb, 32mb, 64mb, 128mb, 256mb etc, whatever you can afford. In buying a large capacity memory card, will effectively convert the phone into a good quality MP3 player, as you will have plenty of storage for MP3 files, and the sound quality is pretty good.
Task Manager
Again this is similar to the desktop version, and basically lists all your current running applications on the phone

Contacts/Address Book
This is probably the best one I have come across on any phone, including Nokia! You can store pretty much any information you want about each person in your phonebook. From Name, address, tel no, right down to company address, numbers and email addresses, persons photo, personal ringtone for that contact, their birthday.
Calender
This is a variant of the calender in the desktop version of outlook, and again seamlessly synchronises with that when you connect the phone to your PC, and is very useful, but doesn't offer any radical changes to others I have encountered on other phones.

To do List
Basically does what it says, gives you the ability to list tasks, and select them as completed when done. I've used it several times, and you could even use it as your shopping list!
Games
Comes with either on the phone or on the software disc supplied, a Tennis game, a management sim called Lemonade, a puzzle game called Slurp, and a version of solitaire. All are fun, the lemonade game is good but very limited, the tennis game is very good, with good graphics, slurp is ok, and solitaire whilst ok to play for a little while, soon becomes annoying as the screen is to small to play it. You have to use the buttons on the phone to move the cards and it becomes very fiddly!

Gallery
It does come with software, much like the picture viewer on a desktop windows, to show any pictures stored on the phone. You can also use this to manage and edit any photos you have received via MMS, or ones that you have taken using the optional Camera, which can be brought seperately, but is expensive (around £50-70 I believe).
Main Screen
This is the screen the phone shows all the time, and offers the navigation to the various menus. It is fully customisable, with the layout and colour scheme all able to be modified. It primarily uses symbols for the shortcuts to applications, but uses text for the links to texts, calender, and profile.

I think that covers the main functions of the phone. It has the usual mobile phone functions, such as call lists (missed, dialled, received etc) and timers. It does have an application which I have found useful, which shows how much memory on the phone is used, and how much is used on the SD card, and how much battery life there is left, all stated in percentages. The phone can be quite complex to use, and whilst the menu systems are pretty straightforward, this is probably the first phone I have had to read the instruction manual to any great length to learn about the phone. This may appeal to some, but others may not like it. It has a fairly competent selection of ringtones to choose from, with a selection of photos for backgrounds, but if you plan to download new games, ringtones and such like, it doesn't seem to be compatible with the various companies that offer these. That said, I do believe that you can save any piece of music as your ringtone, via your computer. New software such as games and applications, I believe, have to be specific to smartphone software, and Microsoft does have a limited selection on their website, at a cost. I assume that the selection of software available for smartphone software will increase as its popularity increases.
I upgraded to this phone after ditching my Panasonic X70 (a major disappointment compered to its predecessor, the GD87), I was very impressed with the MPx200. I think it is aimed at the business user, rather than the casual user. Although I think that anybody looking for the kind of functions this phone offers would be better getting a PDA. For the casual user, looking for the kind of functionality on offer couldn't really do better, and it certainly is unique, being the only clamshell design at present to use windows smartphone software. Texting on this phone, is very good. Using the T9 predictive text input that all phones seem to come with these days, is very useful. Whilst all phones manufacturers have a different way you select input methods and various characters when typing text and this phone doesn't buck that trend. I find the method of predictive text that Nokia phones utilise to be the best, and this phone comes closest to that. It apparently offers the ability to add new words to the dictionary, although I have to express doubts that this function works properley, as it seems very random in what new words it remembers.

This brings me to the downsides of this phone. And the major one for me is the battery life! It will last on standby for about three days if you make next to no calls, and only a few texts, and you don't do anything else. Start using media player and other functions, along with making several calls and you're looking at 2 days standby max, maybe less (with the phone on all day and night). Bearing in mind I was used mainly to a Nokia 6310, with a huge battery life, this was a major disappointment to me. I guess windows smartphone software is in its infancy, so currently hasn't been refined to use less power to run it. You can check the battery level using the above mentioned app, but there is one thing that annoyed me more than anything else. When the battery level reaches about 30% left, it starts to give you the periodic messages advising that battery is low. If you switch the phone off any time when the battery is this low, you will not be able to switch it back on till you have started to charge it. This probably annoyed me more than the short battery life. It effectively means that there is no point turning the phone off to conserve battery life.
After this, the next disappointment is the speed of the software. It takes over a minute for the phone to switch on. Thats from the moment you switch it on, to the point that you can actually use the phone. This, I suppose is a characteristic of Windows software in general, which has been carried through to the smartphone software, and probably is due to the sheer amount of functions and applications it has to load on startup. This is a small price to pay, when compared to the functionality of the phone. The software is also prone to the occasional 'lag' when you ask it do something. It does tend to leave me with the feeling that the amount of RAM in the phone is not enough to power the software! Much like running a state of the art computer game on a 3 year old PC with no upgrades, it doesn't run well!

Lastly, the receiption that this phone can pick up. Where I live, I have very poor levels of reception on the Orange network. This phone, like my Nokia 6310, does not have an external antenna. This would be ok, except for the low receiption areas. I would expect it to be of a similar standard to my Nokia, but it isn't. At home, the MPx200 can get some receiption, but generally states that their is no signal strength, meaning I cannot use my mobile at home. Now that I have gone back to my 6310 using the same sim card on Orange, I did a comparison. My Nokia, using it in the same place as I observed the lack of signal strength on the Motorola, gave me 3-4 bars out of the 7 displayed on the phone, meaning I can comfortably use the phone with this level of reception.
Overall, if you are looking for a basic phone, then I can't really recommend this phone, as it is quite complex to use, and is nowhere near a simple to use Nokia mobile phone. If you are a casual user wanting a few more functions than the basic phones proivde, I can recommend it, as long as you can cope with the battery life, although I do feel that there are probably better options in the marketplace. If you want the kind of apps it offers, but intend to use them to their fullest extent, I would recommend buying a PDA.

This may seem like a pretty negative review, but I have enjoyed using this phone, it just has too many negatives to make it better than other phones I have used. Any mobile has a novelty factor for a while after you buy it, no matter how muh it cost or what it does, but after a period of sustained usage you do start to realise its faults. I'm pretty sure that if you did buy one, you wouldn't regret it, as it is a unique phone. You just may start to hanker after your old phone as I have.

Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
The Aspire One is a brand new product and, despite its size, it is not just another notebook: it is a stylish all-new digital device designed to deliver continuous access to the internet no matter where you are.

Let's get connected
Small and smart, the Aspire One takes you wherever you want to be and keeps you connected when you get there. The Aspire One comes with 802.11b/g WiFi built-in as standard for easy access to available wireless network. The result is always the same: you are online in an instant and can stay there as long as you want.
In addition, Acer Signal Up technology ensures maximum quality and stability to the wireless signal.

Let's get organized
The Aspire One is great for getting things done: whether you are checking your mail, managing your online bank account or chatting with friends, the Aspire One offers a simple, intuitive Linux or Windows XP® Home interface that clearly organizes everything you need to surf, work or simply have fun. The Linux pre-installed software is separated by functions and presented in 4 distinct areas on the screen – Connect, Works, Fun and Files – that is so simple it’s impossible to get confused: the easier it is to get things done, the simpler it is to enjoy life.

Menu
*Example of Linux operating system interface.

Ergonomics and reduced dimensions do not mean the view isn’t spectacular: the Aspire One has an 8.9” CrystalBrite LED backlit display with a resolution of 1024x600 pixels. Integrated in the top of the screen is the unique Acer CrystalEye webcam for live video streaming, video chats and conferences.

Choose your Style
The Aspire One uses colour to combine connectivity with inimitable style. Available in sapphire blue and seashell white – the Aspire One gives an individual and quite distinctive look and feel that matches the style and personality of its lucky owner.

Bits & bytes for data freedom
The Aspire One is equipped with Intel® Atom™ processor, Linpus™ Linux® Lite or Windows XP® Home, and comes with 512MB or 1GB of RAM memory installed.
There are two alternatives for data storage: a NAND flash module of 8GB or a 120GB internal HDD. In addition the Aspire One reads 5 different types of memory card – Secure Digital, MultiMediaCard, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO, xD-Picture Card – for absolute data freedom.
To increase storage capacity, the Aspire One features the unique Smart File Manager, a simple solution that instantly and seamlessly merges extra storage from any SD card inserted in the 2nd SD card slot into the memory available to the user.
Expanding your available storage has never been so easy.

Simple, Sophisticated Software
Acer has worked hard on improving the user experience by designing a friendly, easy-to-use and comprehensive interface that simplifies interaction between users and the Aspire One by taking a more natural approach to screen layout and functionality.
The Linpus™ Linux® Lite version is the result, guiding and accompanying even novice users through the Internet in an intuitive, “virus-safe” and super-responsive Linux environment.
The Aspire One features the One Mail software suite that lets you manage up to six of your email accounts with a single application interface, including your office accounts. A small icon to the right of the message quickly and clearly shows the appropriate mail account. Nothing could be simpler to replace push e-mail services without using a corporate server.
The Aspire One uses Messenger for Instant Messaging, an application that allows users to simultaneously access Skype, Microsoft Messenger and various other instant messaging services. The software can be used with the integrated video camera for instant video-chats and video conferences.
The Aspire One series comes preinstalled with Linpus™ Linux® Lite version or Windows XP® Home.

GLOBAL – Two guesses what makes the Nokia 6700 classic Gold Edition different from the well-loved Nokia 6700 classic. And no, it isn’t the included natural leather carrying case and strap or the 8GB microSD card. Still guessing? This one is gold. If bling is your thing then you’ll be all over it. The 6700 is an utterly classic device. Indeed, designer Mark Delaney describes it as “the little black dress” of phones. Well, that little black dress has just got itself some shiny gold buttons.

Okay, so it isn’t just about the 18-carat gold finish. The Nokia 6700 classic Gold Edition also has some custom wallpapers to complete the gold look, alongside that carry case and monster memory card. The Nokia 6700 classic Gold Edition is a well specced device, boasting a five-megapixel camera wrapped inside that glorious metal shell and of course GPS and Nokia Maps to help you find your way to the next jewelery store.

The Gold Edition is expected to go on sale in selected markets in the first quarter of 2010 with an estimated price of €370 before taxes and subsidies. To tempt you between now and then, we have this goldorious gallery for your delectation (see what we did there?).

Product Details


    Product Description

    From the Manufacturer

    Sony DSC-TX100V
    Cyber-shot
    See pictures in a whole new way with the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX100V camera. Viewing on the 3.5-inch OLED touch screen with vivid colors brings photos to life. With features like 3D still image, amazing iSweep Panorama, superior low light function and full HD video, viewing your pictures just got a lot more exciting.
    Sony DSC-TX100V Feature Highlights
    Inside the TX100V
    16.2 Megapixel Back-illuminated “Exmor R” CMOS Image Sensor
    The DSC-TX100V features a 16.2 megapixel “Exmor R” CMOS image sensor that brings out the full resolving power of the camera’s Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens to deliver extremely fast speed, high resolution, and stunning low-light sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically reduced grain. In addition, the combined “Exmor R” CMOS sensor and BIONZ image processor delivers extremely fast 10fps, Anti Motion Blur, Hand-held Twilight and 1080p movie modes7.
    3.5-inch LCD
    3.5-inch OLED Touch screen   
    3.5-inch Touch screen with OLED technology gives you deeper blacks and more color in your display, all while being thinner than most LCDs.
    Full HD 1080 Full HD 1080@60p   
    Record crystal clear movies at the highest resolution available with capabilities for 60p in 10804.  This provides stunning, fast motion video with less distortion for playback on your HD TV7.
    3D still image and panorama   
    Produce awe-inspiring images with 3D still image and 3D Sweep Panorama capabilities. Images will take on a new dimension to view the world in a whole new way5.
    iSweep Panorama   
    With iSweep Panorama just press the shutter, pan the landscape and let the camera do the rest. It automatically links together each frame to produce a panoramic image. This model even detects faces and moving subjects to stitch intelligently different widths to help avoid subject distortion.
    Backlight Correction   
    Don’t miss a single detail in high contrast shots. The built in backlight correction analyzes the image and automatically adjusts accordingly to give you a perfectly lit shot.
    Background Defocus   
    DSLR photographs are often beautiful because they blur the background, putting the emphasis on your subject. Now our point-and-shoot cameras can deliver this signature DSLR benefit. The system takes two shots, identifies the background and applies a defocused background keeping the subject crisp and clear.
    Superior Auto Mode Superior Auto Mode   
    Get cleaner, more dynamic pictures and fewer missed shots. The camera automatically recognizes the correct scene mode, then quickly shoots and combines up to six shots to produce images with greater clarity, optimum dynamic range using backlight correction HDR technology and lower image noise using 6 shots layering technology. Superior Auto intelligently detects 36 scenes for still images and movies, making it easy to get the best shot.  
    Soft Skin Mode   
    Portrait subjects will love the results. Soft Skin mode recognizes skin tones and reduces the appearance of blemishes and wrinkles without affecting the rest of the shot.
    Natural Flash   
    Conventional point-and-shoot camera flash shots just don't capture colors the way the eye sees them. Natural Flash mode takes a reference shot without flash and then uses that reference to correct the color, for far more lifelike images.
    High speed shooting
    The DSC-TX100V can capture full 16.2 megapixel resolution images at up to 10 frames per second, helping to ensure that the decisive moment is captured such as the soccer ball flying into the goal. In addition, the DSC-TX100V employs a mechanical shutter that helps reduce distortion when continuously shooting moving subjects.
    Carl Zeiss Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar Lens with 25mm equivalent wide 4x Optical Zoom
    The high-performance Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 4x optical zoom lens brings distant subjects closer for video recording as well as for outdoor, sports, and travel photos, and Close Focus shoots close-ups up to just under ½-inch from the subject. A wide angle of 25mm equivalent wide-angle lens allows you to take wider shots of the scene or group in crowded spaces.
    HDMI output HDMI output   
    The High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is a compact audio/video connector interface for transmitting uncompressed digital streams. HDMI connects digital audio/video sources such as a compatible camcorder, Blu-ray Disc player, a personal computer, a video game console, or an AV receiver to a compatible digital audio device and/or video monitor such as a digital television (DTV). Easily connect your Cyber-shot camera via HDMI cable to any compatible HDMI compatible device to easily enjoy and upload content7.
    Smile Shutter Smile Shutter technology
    Smile Shutter technology captures a smile the moment it happens. Simply press the Smile Shutter button and the camera does the rest. Also select adult and child priority and indicate the degree of Smile Detection Sensitivity. Intelligent Scene Recognition can be used together with Smile Shutter mode. This means that beautiful smiles can be captured with settings optimized for the particular scene, even in difficult conditions such as twilight and backlighting.
    Face Detection technology Face Detection technology
    Sony’s Face Detection technology can automatically distinguish between children and adults. Face Detection technology detects up to eight individual faces and adjusts flash, focus, exposure, and white balance to help deliver crisp, properly lit images of family and friends.
    Motion Detection
    Motion Detection, along with Face Motion Detection adjusts ISO sensitivity and increases the shutter speed when movement is detected, reducing blur in moving subjects and faces.
    Anti-blink Function
    It’s frustrating to capture the perfect shot, only to review it later and discover subjects blinked during the photo. When the camera is set to Soft Snap, the Anti-blink function captures two images, recording only the photo with less squinting or blinking. If a blink is detected in other shooting modes, a warning will be displayed after you take the shot.
    Sweep Multi Angle Mode   
    In Sweep Multi Angle mode, the camera takes 15 images at different angles as it sweeps across the scene. By tilting the camera during playback, the camera’s Gyro Sensor detects motion and displays the image in a 3D-like view on the camera’s LCD.
    Anti-Motion Blur Mode
    Capture cleaner and sharper images in low light for non landscape shots. When set in Anti-motion Blur Mode, the DSC-TX100V captures six images in a fraction of a second with higher shutter speed and combines the data from all six to create a single image of extraordinary detail and dramatically reduce subject blur, beyond the capability of traditional cameras.
    TransferJet Technology TransferJet technology   
    TransferJet technology, developed by Sony and advanced and promoted by consortium of 18 other companies, allows the transfer of up to ten files between two TransferJet enabled devices just by touching their TransferJet logos together, without the hassle of hunting for cables or the complication of pairing6.
    Works with iMovie Compatible with PC and MAC Systems   
    The Full HD video captured with the DSC-TX100V can be used with the provided Picture Motion Browser software2 for PC and iMovie (sold separately) for Mac systems.
    Includes Sony PMB (Picture Motion Browser) Software ver. 5.51
    Sony Picture Motion Browser software offers a simple, intuitive way to transfer, sort, and view your video and still images on your compatible PC. In addition, multiple output options let you burn your memories to DVD using an external DVD burning device (sold separately), as well as take advantage of one click upload to a number of popular video and photo sharing sites (such as Facebook and Sony’s Personal Space). Using the new 5.5 version also enables playback of 3D images taken on the Cyber-shot camera.
    PMBP Software Includes Sony PMB Portable software2   
    With the pre-installed Picture Motion Browser (PMB) Portable 5.5 software2 the DSC-TX100V makes it easy to pre-select videos and images in the camera and conveniently upload them from the camera to a compatible PC and popular Internet sharing sites8 without the need for any additional software or install.
    1. PMB requires Microsoft Windows XP SP3/ Windows Vista SP2/Windows 7 environments not supported. Not supported by Mac OS. 
    2. Uploading directly to the web requires PMB Portable (ver 5.5 for Windows and ver 1.3 for Mac) software and USB cable (included), and PC with internet connectivity. Windows XP SP3 64-bit and Starter Edition and Windows Vista Starter Edition environments not supported.
