For those who love their music and their smartphone Sony Ericsson is bringing you a nugget of gold. The Sony Ericsson Yendo is classified as a “Walkman Phone”. Now you know the good news. Take a closer look at the features and details here in this quick article.

The thoughts behind this are more towards the audio than the visible spectrum. The size is a tiny 3.7 inches tall. It is just barely over half an inch thick. For those not in the United States that translates over to 93.5 millimeters tall and 15.8 millimeters thick. It will hardly feel like it is in your pocket. It weighs 2.8 ounces.

The music player is the classic Sony Walkman setup. It has TrackID, PlayNow and MediaGo. MediaGo is the application that helps to transfer music from your PC to your phone. The Sony Ericsson Yendo is equipped with a 3.5 millimeter head phone jack. If the five megabytes of internal memory is not enough there is a slot for a MicroSD card. It will accept a card up to sixteen megabytes in size.

The Yendo does have a two megapixel camera. It can take video. The quality of the photos will be a smallish 1600 by 1200 pixels. There is only one camera. For more audio, the Yendo also has an FM radio for local music or news.

The screen is a touch screen, but this is not a smartphone. The processor is running at a rousing 720 megahertz, but there is no operating system. This is strictly for calls, music and bit of graphics. The display is a resistive touch style so it is going to require a more firm touch to operate. Most resistive touch screens require a stylus.

You get a wide range of colors to choose from with a Sony Yendo. Here is the list; Orange, Purple, Yellow, White, Blue, Green, Pink, Red Silver and of course, Black. Sony Ericsson plans on having it ready to sell in September of this year.

Introduction and Design:

The Acer beTouch E100 is a new Windows Mobile 6.5 phone. It has a 2-megapixel camera, A-GPS and 3G 528MHz processor, except it lacks in Wi-Fi and an accelerometer. It comes in black and white color solutions it looks spectacular. The great thing is the cell phone comes with 3 other back panels (green, red and pink) allowing you to be able to change the looks within seconds.

Inside the box:

  • Acer beTouch E100
  • miniUSB cable
  • 3 extra back panels
  • User Guide
  • Stereo headset
  • Software CDs
  • Charger

The Acer beTouch E100 has a 3.2-inch display. It has a resolution of 240×400 pixels, and supports 65k of colors and images. Regrettably, the screen is completely unusable within direct sunlight. Buttons around its navigational keypad are not raised enough, however they are pronounced. The fascinating thing is the keypad is touch-sensitive circular motions allows navigation through menus. It’s not to pleasant to operate, as said edges create annoying, uncomfortable feel.

The slider puts the phone into silence mode, the other buttons are not well raised, yet they quite simple to press. The Acer beTouch E100 has a miniUSB port.

Functionality and Interface
The beTouch E100 comes with perfunctory personalization of Windows Mobile 6.5 by Acer Home. You have the home screen which allows a quick access to some functions. It is a grid with 9 icons and you are able to change 6. The top three buttons are phone contacts, dialing and messaging. You will enjoy the simple interface; however you would instead use your regular home screen that’s WM 6.5, as it offers a richer functionality.

The Acer beTouch E100 has preinstalled applications that allow access to Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, and Blogger. In general, the Acer beTouch E100 is rather a disappointing device in that respect.

Internet:

since it lacks  Wi-Fi, you going to  have to depend on 3G (HSDPA 7.2 Mbps) when  connecting to Internet. It has high connectivity speed enough to permit the fast loading.
The Acer beTouch E100 comes with a standard software, i.e. Internet Explorer 6. In fact, it’s quite good in opening websites also offers a limited Flash support, however you will always need zooming out and in  because of the low screen resolution which is 240×400 pixels.

GPS:

as mentioned , the Acer beTouch E100 is set with built-in A-GPS. It was able to pinpoint the location within 30-40 seconds. Google Maps are preinstalled on your smartphone – the application gives many options and is easy and very user-friendly interface, however it needs internet connection to download significant maps in good time.

Camera and multimedia

the Acer beTouch E100 sports a 2 mega pixel camera with a good design and camera speed. The snap shot in particular has nothing special actually, since they lack adequate details and the feature poorly represented colors. Same as the videos, here to the maximum video resolution is 320×240 pixels also the frames a second count is only around 10.

Totally unexpectedly, the Acer beTouch E100 perform reasonably well in multimedia this affordable handset uses Media Player, the normal application plays Xvid, DivX and H.264 coded videos and with the resolution of 800×480  pixels. The handset also manages to play its video clips on resolution of 1280×720 pixels, however some content stutters. Anyhow, we are amazed.

You will be able to listen to music using its Media Player also. The boxed headset of the beTouch E100 is fairly good. The downside is that you will have to purchase a converter miniUSB to 3.5mm jack if you need to plug in a must better pair .the earpiece sound with the built in loud speaker is passable.

Performance and Conclusion:

As a cell phone, the Acer beTouch E100 is average. The callers sounded very monotonous, there was crackling, and the overall sound was inadequate. The beTouch E100 is rather a disappointment within that respect.
What is beneath the hood is 528MHz Qualcomm, 256MB RAM, MSM7225 processor and 512MB ROM. The battery is passably robust provides about 5 hours of nonstop talk time 400 hours.

  • excellent multimedia functionality
  • bonus panels in a range of colors
  • Snappy operation rate
  • average in-call quality
  • Low display, build quality
  • No Wi-Fi
  • Perfunctory personalization

Cons

Motorola lovers are going to be swooning when they see the latest public offering of the Motoroi. Currently Korea is the only country to have this phone, but we will be taking a quick review of it anyway with some stealth searching. The phone will be in the United States in the Spring, just a few months away.

To start with the basics, the Motoroi comes with an eight megapixel camera. This amount of megapixels beats such phones like the flagship from Nokia and others, including the last Android phone from Motorola. The camera does come with a video feature, rated at 720p. It has a 3.7 inch WVGA display screen which is not bad. Other competitors have trivial differences in the sizes of their screen, incuding Apple products. This smartphone can be hooked up to a television screen with its HDMI output. HDMI can be used for High Definition TV and super quality audio. The screen on the Motoroi is capacitive touch and is superior to the other touch screen styles.

The Motoroi has no slide out keyboard. It is very similar to other smartphones that only use their screen for input from the user. This smartphone has something that some others do not; the ability to receive digital television broadcasts. You can also receive FM broadcasts with the included FM radio. The GPS functions are included, as they are with all handsets. This will allow you to use many handy applications that you can use to track your goals and activities during the day. There is a regular-sized 3.5 headphone jack for your listening convenience. The internal memory of the Motoroi is eight gigabytes and you can increase this with a thirty two gigabyte SD card.

The form of the Motoroi is for all respects the same as other models that have no manual keyboard. This is true with one strange exception. It has a “bump” of sorts on the lower right hand side of the unit. Perhaps Motorola just wanted to look different from the others in the rapidly burgeoning world of the smartphone ? For whatever reason, if you see this characteristic out on the street, you can know you are looking at a Motoroi.

The inner workings of the Android Operating System are where the Motoroi reaches its users. The android interface is a 2.0 version of the software from google. The system is constantly being upgraded, but as of this writing its strong points are the Eclair screen interface. If you have a model from Europe, this allows you to touch the screen in multiple places to navigate. If you do not have a European model it is likely you will not have this feature fouind with Eclair. Nevertheless, you do get the famous google maps, and the navigation abilities from this powerful program. Android is also strong in its menus.This makes navigating with the Motoroi is a breeze.

While Motorola as a whole has been on the downswing lately, it has proved to have put out a fairly powerful product with the Motoroi. But with its latest entry, the Motoroi is a close equal to every other competitor. Motorola has been around since 1928. They became popular with cellphones in 2004. This smartphone proves they are still a viable company in the world of cell phones. Nearly everyone who knows what a cellphone is remembers the Razr with some fondness. This new phone puts Motorola back on the road to stardom. If you are not in Korea, look for this smartphone in March.
