Sony Ericsson is apparently covering their bases with Android devices this year. The X10, although now somewhat underwhelming, is still a very nice, high-end smartphone. The newer Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini and X10 Mini Pro are solid, lower-end versions of the full-sized X10. But, that’s not enough for the Japanese-Swedish phone maker. To fill the gap between the X10 and its pint-sized variants, SE is said to be releasing a mid-ranged Android device, the XPERIA X8.

The XPERIA X8, code-named Shakira looks to sport the X10 Mini’s UI, rather than the full-fledged Sony Ericsson Timescape UI than that of the original Xperia X10. Being a lower-end device, we can see why they chose to use the slightly shaved down version of the UI. We don’t have any hard specs on the device, so we’ll be in the dark until something more solid comes along, but I can’t imagine the X8 to be anything breath-taking.

We can expect X8 to have a screen size of somewhere between 3 and 3.5 inches, likely with a 5-megapixel camera on the back, and a slower processor than the X10 – something along the lines of 600Mhz. This is all speculation, of course, but these specs would fall in line with the kind of average mid-ranged Android smartphones we’re seeing today. Let’s hope we don’t see some of the issues that have probably cause some potential customer to stray from the X10.

In either case, as nice as some of the Sony Ericsson Android phones currently on market today may be, I don’t think I’d ever own any of them. Sony Ericsson took way to long to get the X10 out of the gate, and now, even with some other options, it still seems like way too little, way too late.

Better luck next time, SE. We’d love to love you at the moment, but you’ve got your work cut out for you to give users a great Android device.

The LG KP500 is a cute phone with a cute name. Despite its low price, it has a wide assortment of goodies that are sure to delight and impress. Fans of the Renoir will enjoy this phone, as it has a variety of similar features as well as a few improvements.

Appearance:

The Cookie is slim and stylish-at 89g, it's more than small enough to fit almost anywhere, be it a pocket, a small purse, even a wallet. It's available in black, Vandyke brown, Anodising silver, and Elegant gold. Though it's a teeny, tiny phone, it's hardly weak feeling or fragile; its casing is sturdy and strong, and the 3 inch screen that dominates its front looks as though it could take a few hard knocks without too much damage. Its buttons are prominent and easy to press. All in all, it's adorable.

Screen:

The 3 inch 262k Million Colour touchscreen provides a high definition experience. You can view videos, pictures, games, and websites in wonderfully crisp, clear detail. Its user interface is just plain neat looking-it's similar to the Renoir's TouchFlo technology in terms of usability and straightforwardness. The main menu allows you to keep your favorite widgets and applications within easy reach.

Its Touch Screen Handwriting Recognition allows you to jot down notes when you need them. (Or doodle during a long business meeting.) LG has integrated its screen auto rotate accelerometer into much of its interface. The screen is fairly sensitive to finger touch, though the phone also comes with as stylus for added accuracy. You'll also find a screen protector to save your phone from scratches.

Sound:

The Cookie's sound leaves a bit to be desired, as many find it to be a bit dim. However, it's not so soft that it interferes with ringtones or the speaker phone. Its media player supports MP3s, WMA, and AAC as well as an RDS FM Radio. Music management allows you to create playlists. The phone also supports polyphonic and MP3 ringtones.

Connectivity:

With only a class 10 GPRS, EDGE, 2.0 USB, and Bluetooth as options, you won't find much in the way of connectivity-no HDSPA or Wifi, unfortunately, but what it has works very well. Predictive text makes options such as SMS and MMS easier and faster. (Incidentally, the phone comes equipped with an on-screen QWERTY keypad.) Their email interface is simple and convenient as well. Be sure to check out the downloadable games for added fun.

Camera:

The Cookie's camera is slim and discreet. Located on the back of the phone, its 3.2 megapixel camera comes with a variety of settings to make for clear, accurate photos and videos. You'll need to stick to well lit areas, however, as there is no flash, but on the plus side, you'll find an interesting photo gallery and wallpaper options.

Memory:

Memory is one of the Cookie's strong points. It packs up to 48 megabytes. Its MicroSD memory card allows for up to eight more gigabytes of space. Combine this with the 3.3 hours talk time and 350 hours standby, and you have a great deal.

Verdict:

This is an awesome little phone for touchscreen lovers who want a sophisticated phone at affordable prices. Users who like a lot of applications and goodies with their phone might find themselves a bit disappointed, but you have to admit the Cookie packs an awful lot for such a low price. Incidentally, this makes for a nice second phone for someone who already has all the gadgets.

This particular phone first caught my attention because it didn't look like a mobile phone at all. It looked more like a satellite phone or some advanced walkie-talkie. However, after using it, it turned out that this
phone was really a mobile phone. Lets take a look at the Motorola MC55. The Motorola MC55, has, like I said, a very uncommon design. It is one of the few phones that still have something like an antenna sticking out of it's top. The phone is a rather large phone that measures 152 x 77 x 27mm. Pretty thick right? The phone is also quite heavy at 340g. The phone comes with a full QWERTY keypad and a whole lot of other buttons. You'll definitely have a tough time if you haven't used a phone like this before. Nevertheless, if you take your time learning the controls, you will get used to it. The phone is also drop and freeze resistant.

The Motorola MC55 comes with a touchscreen. It is a 240 x 320 pixel screen capable of displaying 65k colors. That is quite expected. Most touch screens have that color display capability. You will find that the touchscreen is quite responsive. Being a touch screen, Motorola has ensured that the phone's screen is quite scratch resistant. The screen can be used in all lighting conditions. Finding compatible images and games won't be a problem.

If you want internet, the Motorola MC55 has GPRS and EDGE internet connection options. The internet speed is fast enough for most basic uses, such as viewing emails and chatting. Even some internet based phone applications can run smoothly. However, if you have a WiFi network, you are in luck because this phone can connect to WiFi networks. The built-in browser is good enough for web page viewing. To transfer data, you can use Bluetooth or USB.

Packed with a host of social networking features, Samsung's latest handset, the Monte, look set to be one of the success stories of the coming summer months. Lets start with the social network integration.

It seems for any new handset to prove a success, the Twitter generation needs to be embraced. The Samsung Monte does this by including widgets for Facebook, MySpace and Twitter directly from the home screen, the first two of these sites actually having there own dedicated apps. A neat app entitled "Communities" allows for easy uploading to multiple sites, with handy facilities such as resizing of photos accounted for. Of course, this host of online facility isn't much good if you cannot actually het on line. The Monte doesn't let you down here. As well as having 3G and GPRS connectivity, a very handy addition is WiFi also being included. This means even quicker web browsing when the user is within range of their own router or a WiFi hotspot. The browser used on the Monte is developed by Samsung themselves and is an impressive affair.

Featuring Flash support (take note Apple), one touch zooming and kinetic scrolling it really does work well, and is better than the browsers found on some of the more powerful "Smartphones" available. The Samsung Monte certainly scores highly when it comes to its design and looks. The first thing you notice when you pick up the handset is its light weight, weighing just 92 grammes. Couple this with the neatly curved back panel and it means the phone does sit perfectly in your hand. The static buttons on the phone (volume, camera, lock, call) are all easily reached. The handset itself measures 108.8 x 53.7 x 12.4mm, similar to other handsets of its kind. The 3" TFT screen is a capacitive screen, and it responds very well to the users touch. The screen display 262k colours and show a WQVGA resolution of 320 x 420 pixels. The camera on the Samsung Monte is a satisfactory, if not exciting affair. Despite its lack of an autofocus facility, pictures are still clear and video capture can be achieved at a rate of 15 frames per second. The microSD card slot on the side of the handset allows memory expansion up to 16GB, meaning plenty of storage space for your photos, as well as other media content.

The connectivity side of the Samsung Monte means it will immediately appeal to the younger social networking fans. However its competitive price pitches it alongside a whole host of other models, and looking at that group as a whole then the Monte seems a clear winner.
