Pink iPhone isn’t What You Think It Is

This iPhone knockoff is a deviant from the standard fair of iPhone knock-offs that we have come accustomed to seeing. For starter, it's colored in pink. Which begs the question for as to why exactly apple hasn't come out with a pink iPhone yet, it's just a matter of time, no? Anyway, the Imobile phone V509, AKA the iPhne looks a heck of a lot like the real thing, and even sports an Apple logo on its back. It features a 2.8" screen, an FM radio, bluetooth a camera, and dual sim support. However its most unusual feature is that it has a built-in "gravity sensor to realize auto ...

Retro Cell Phone USB Key Suffers from an Identity Crisis

This poor adorable Novelty Mini Mobile Phone USB Memory Stick is confused - is it a mini mobile phone or a USB memory stick? But of-course it's just a 2GB memory stick designed to look like an old fashioned cell phone complete with an antennae. However we just don't get what gives with its color LCD - after all, we're pretty sure that its old school design is reminiscent of a time when displays on phones were monochrome. The Novelty Mini Mobile Phone Shaped 2GB USB Memory Stick retails for $9.99 and comes in a metal gift box - and would probably make a perfect inexpensive Father's Day gift ...

Pantech C820 Matrix Pro Review

The new Pantech C820 Matrix Pro is an update to Pantech's Matrix Duo, a Windows Mobile smartphone that sports both a numeric and QWERTY keypad. For those looking for a Windows Mobile device that packs in just about everything - the Pantech Matrix Pro C820 runs on AT&T's speedy 3G network, it sports GPS, a 2 megapixel camera, and a solid feature set overall. Before I delve in to the device itself, here is a little background about my personal experience with Windows Mobile Smartphones. I've been using Windows on a handheld since way back - when there were no such things as smartphones at all, but instead there was just Windows CE and monochrome displays. I was extremely proud of my Compaq Aero at a time when Palm pilots were all the rage. Over the years I've owned a crazy assortment of Windows based smartphones, my most recent one being the Treo 750V. After that, the iPhone came out and I betrayed my longtime love of Windows Mobile. However, there will always be a part of me that still is a Windows Mobile girl at heart. [gallery=126] Hardware: The Pantech Matrix Pro's hardware is solid and feels sturdy. The Matrix Pro sports a metallic finish and curvy top and bottom. Unfortunately the Matrix Pro's screen tends to attract fingerprints and smudges, so you might want to keep a wipe handy. Overall, it is not the most attractive phone in the world, but definitely pleasant looking, especially considering that many phones which manage to fit in two keypads end up being pretty fuggly.

Nokia 7070 Prism Flip Fashion Phone is Recession Proof
