Let me present to you the most detailed of all the Russian-language Internet survey of mobile phone Fly E135.
For the first time after reading about this device in early October, I immediately decided that he will be one of the contenders for my next purchase. Poorness of information were offset by the imminent release period - mid-October, but not in October or in November, he appeared on the shelves. Terms pushed the yield due to software improvements, but before the end it was not finalized (see below). In early December, the body still came to Toronto, and I took him one of the first in the “threaded”, because at the Rostov site Euroset it is not now.
At Toronto GSM News have something like a review, but terribly incomplete. What is worth at least that dvuhsimochny device tested with one Simko! In the mobile-review.com bungled the promised review, but did not, because the Moscow office of Fly phones for the test are not to interrogate. But enough of preludes, closer to the body.
Options: Phone, battery to 1050 mAh, charger, consisting of two blocks (universal charging with USB-output and a USB-cable to the computer), wired stereo 3.5 mm, clothespin, a microphone and answer button, mini-disc ON, 1 stylus (the new party will not), brief instructions and garantiynik. The required minimum, so to speak.
Corps. Phone my dark graphite color, even on the box and says Grey. Do not believe the office. site, they have flowers all frightened. Externally looks very nice and expensive, at least 12000. Corps consists entirely of plastic, in the hands not creak, the battery compartment lid is removed, and only when tightly pulled out the stylus, which is a plus.
The front panel is a large touch screen (3.2 inch 240 * 400 pixels 262 tons of colors), it is resistive type, which means that the owner will not have problems in winter with gloves click on the screen. And then for the unfortunate owners ayfon even devised special gloves that, without removing them, poking at the screen. Clarity of stroke treatment is high, compared with Nokia 5800 and Samsung Star is higher. Brightness can be controlled both manually and using the sensor lighting. Very handy thing, I tell you. The bright sun, he wrings the backlight at maximum, and in the dark places in the least. At the same time and charge the battery saves. Brightness and contrast on a good level, with direct comparison with the same 5800, Fly wins in brightness, but loses a bit of picture clarity due to a smaller resolution.
Above the screen there is a hole earpiece and light sensor. Under the screen there is the necessary minimum of keys, receiving / reject the call button and menu with a house, stylized under Windows. The left side is located connector for microSD-stick, covered with a plug, a standard 3,5 mm jack for headphones, and again a standard miniUSB connector. These connectors plugs are not covered. At the top end is key lock / unlock. On the right side is a multifunctional volume button, searching through books, zooming, etc. and a button to activate the camera.
Phone book is very convenient. First, there is division on the map to Simka, and when set to the general list, then next to each entry is a miniature, showing how room. Secondly, there is the so-called kinetic scrolling. Very useful when the list of many numbers. Hold your finger across the screen, and the list starts to scroll itself, not turn the pages too fast, so you can catch klatsnut to the desired number. Is still here and search for letters. Thirdly, there is a backup, for example, you have changed or lost Simka, and data from it can be restored. Cool. Fourthly, there is a blacklist. Powered by two Simko. Groups are also present.
Messages. Reports intervenes built-in accelerometer, when you turn the mobile phone sideways, you can print on ytsuken keyboard, which is much faster and more convenient than standard alpha-numeric.
Options are extensive, allowing you to configure the device for themselves. They can, for example, disable one of the SIM cards, or both.
Applications. The device allows to read office files (word, xls) and pdf, as well as plain text files txt. Ease of viewing is average, but it’s definitely better than nothing.
The device is able to turn off Java-based applications without stopping them. This is especially important when running “ICQ” and “Opera”. Also there is a built-in games, based on the sensor motion. Bones and Music DJ. Unfortunately, my game with the ball, you want to drive into a hole, install failed, but perhaps it can not игрухи separate. Games for popular sensornikov with the same screen resolution are not everything, but it is understandable.
Audio Player is convenient settings, sound tihovat a complete wired headset, but for me it does not matter, because I use a wireless blyutuzku. Sound quality is just super. A little bit better just by Motorola.
The camera is quite good (3.2 megapixel), no more. Beats analogues due to the powerful LED flash, which is the range of 2,5-3 meters. In complete darkness, this flashlight can illuminate a small room. Switched on by pressing 2 sec. the upper volume key. She also works when you hover on an object, not just the photography, as in the previous Fly LX 600.
Autofocus and macro no. But the text 12 font in A4 format is quite possible to make out, more and I do not. The camcorder shoots in scanty resolution 176 * 144. Pro quality silent.
On the second day bought a film on the screen for ayfon, a little cut, and voila, now the screen is protected from scratches. By the way, I want to give a little advice. Do not buy accessories in the salons of mobile communication, they’re awfully expensive. Well, judge for yourself, the film on the screen they should p 250-350. in Auchan I took in 56 p. Same with memory cards and covers.
Work with two SIM cards is implemented well. There is no apparatus the primary and secondary cards. With every call and you can go online. I, for example, calls for using “Tele2″ and for “ICQ” and “Opera” MTS with 1.55 per megabyte. And if “ICQ” is not transmitting at the moment Join over there, that are active both Simko. And since the “ICQ” very little goes to the ‘Net, then calls you should not miss. If you still are afraid to miss the right call, you can do so. In the second Simcoe put the redirection of inaccessibility to the first, and when the first is busy talking or Ineta, you will be able to answer the call with the second card. When dialing add just one click, with a choice of what Simko call, no need to look somewhere at the end of spec. click to toggle (spitting in the direction of the Samsung).
CPU powerful enough video opens in full screen and normal conversion does not pull. I recommend to use Total Video Converter. Photos are opened with my camera down (10.2 MP), which is very bad.
Desktop is very convenient. Rather, three of them are here. Image as wallpaper can be set as 240 * 400, then when moving between the tables, it will not be changed, or 360 * 400, then it will move. Widgets are also present. These 12 pieces, I will not enumerate, but there is all that is needed, and even a special winter widget - a snowman. Very nice, when the entire screen snowflakes begin to fall. In general, buy, learn themselves.
Also in the body has a few chips:
1. Change Wallpaper shaking (was activated G-sensor).
2. Shake-control in the player and the radio, when the shake right, then plays the next melody / radio, and the left - the previous one.
3. Also in the main menu, you can move the icons on your own. I do not recall this anywhere except Motorola.
4. Below the screen is a quick access to the phone. book, files, messages, etc. They can also be changed at their discretion.
5. There is a built-in answering machine. That is, messages are not the operator, but directly to your mobile phone. And then while listening to not have to pay money to the operator. Cool.
6. Stopwatch, Converter, Auto on / off, change order on a schedule, radio as an alarm clock and much more. Phone me 10 days and every day I discover in it something new.
Time autonomous work quite well. When continuously running “ICQ”, 40 minutes reading books, listening to music with headphones and without somewhere hour, and conversations within 10-15 minutes a day, the phone is held not less than 3 days. A good result for dvuhsimochnika, the more I have not swung the battery. Interestingly, the mobile phone itself is made on Nov. 25, 2009, ie week before the start of sales in Russia, very shustro Chinese work, fellows.
Now for the minuses. Their little, but they are.
1. Earpiece tihovat. Not just that very quietly, but could be louder.
2. Kverti Virtual keyboard does not work in Java-applications. Only alpha-numeric.
3. Standard Opera does not work, but not critical, because installed version 5 specifically for sensornikov, and it works fine.
4. Inconvenient reader. First, there is no completely full-screen reading, and secondly, it has problems with character sets, before injection into the body, you need an envelope in KOI8R, then all the rules. Also on the screen does not fit a lot of text because of the large field between the lines, but this is nit-picking.
Finally I want to consider the competition:
1. Fly E145. Price 4490 against 135 in 5290. Because of the differences we find 800 rubles worse than the camera (2,0, no flash), simpler design (although black and orange looks nothing), less screen and less elaborate interiors, good lines are icons, but a bit more capacious battery 1150 mAh. Describe in detail the differences can not, because 145 is not on hand.
2. Samsung B5722. Less and less screen is 12000 rub. That more than twice as expensive as the hero of our review. The presence of plus 2 radio unit, the more battery capacity 1200 mAh, but it still can not be discharged more quickly, again because of the two radio unit, so that plus the dubious, auto-focus camera (landscapes are comparable, when shooting close objects Samsung wins).
3. LG KS660. Model 2008, less than the 3.0 screen. It is also about 12000 River. From the good plus the 5 megapixel camera and two modules.
Result. During 5290 pp. model pays for itself twice as much on minor shortcomings do not pay attention almost, all the doubters, I hope my review helped. Like nothing important is missed. With the advent of the new firmware from the official forum admin Fly - promised to eliminate all shortcomings, and even a little increase functionality. For example, I would very much like to have a desktop widget with the weather. I sincerely wish everyone on the phone of your dreams!

Monoblock: black bar, rear - rough, visually made under the skin, insert the middle has 4 possible colors (orange, gray, green, red). Size of the device - 106 x 46 x 14,5 mm, weight - 60 grams. In his hand mboile phone is excellent, the bottom is a hole for lanyard / strap / keychain. The only connector miniUSB, located on the right sidewall. During compression body does not creak and not loose, but if carelessly removing the rear panel damage grooves, which sits on the lid, then these bugs in the design will appear. In general, high-quality assembly at all of the latest Alcatel.
Display
One and half inch cSTN-screen with a resolution of 128×128 pixels, 65 thousand colors and shades of maximum. The screen quality, the quality exceeds much more expensive competitors, the only drawback - low resolution, but for the budget-this is normal. In the sun the screen behaves perfectly. Impression that it’s still TFT-matrix, or the manufacturer has applied a new coating (shading) of the display, never before seen such quality cSTN-screens.
Keyboard
Solid rubber block, pleasant to the touch, the keyboard is comfortable. Five-way navigation key that uncommon for such models, it is also comfortable. The keys are lit in red, clearly visible in different conditions. For each key, you can assign a function or number, as well as on the navigation buttons.
Battery, battery life
Lithium-Ion battery 650 mAh. According to the specifications at the manufacturer, the machine is able to work out up to 7 hours of talk time and up to 350 hours of standby time.

Messages. Normal SMS-messages, templates for predictive input Zi. The memory can store 140 messages. An interesting point to “Help” located in “Settings” - you’ll see a small clip-instruction (demonstration), how to type and send messages.
Games. The phone has two games - racing (F1 speed) and a helicopter, the mboile phone does not support Java, download new games is impossible.
FM-radio. There is a function to view the FM RDS radio text information, if such opportunity is at a particular station. Memory for 30 channels manually (by frequency), and auto search channel playback through the speaker, the joint mode (speaker and headphone) mono and stereo modes, the optimization of (improved) channel, have a choice of receiver sensitivity (standard or high). Radio only works with headphones. Claims can not, all at a good level.

Profiles - You can configure the work of different profiles, ringtones and their volume.
Call lists - there is a general list, as well as three separate lists for missed, dialed or received calls, each list up to 10 entries. Options “black list” and “billing”.
Settings. You can select a wallpaper for the screen, set the Automatic Keyguard, set a password to activate the mboile phone, set the time.
Conclusion
Phone superb communication - a kind of “brand” or brand Alcatel, ringer volume is good, the sound of 64-tone polyphonic net, a set of tones to arrange each, MP3 phone does not support. In terms of price / quality it apart from the competition - to find something better for 1000 rubles impossible. Telephone ideal as a second device for calls and SMS (excellent quality of communication, coupled with a powerful battery), as well as an apparatus for entry-level or mboile phone for your child. The device is so versatile and quality that will cope without problems and so with others. Many people will wear in the disadvantages of the inability to download content (ringtones, wallpaper), but it’s not a bad thing: device-dialer - this is not multimedia mboile phone, his task - a connection, and he copes with it one hundred percent! A nice bonus - a great and functional FM-radio.
Rate this mboile phone on a 10-point system. Do you recommend it to others?
10 points. I recommend to absolutely everyone.

Hello, dear fans of mobile devices. Let me congratulate you happy New Year! Well, since the eastern ensuing calendar year is the year of the white tiger, then I wish you elegance, grace, strength, ductility, and all those positive traits with which it has no doubt an excellent representative of the cat family.
But congratulations on the need to move to the perpetrator of this story, namely the Samsung S3600 Luxury Gold. I think that should explain why the “aristocrat”. And here I resort to using the dictionary, so: “Aristocrat - representative of higher privileged stratum of society, the nobility, the aristocracy, the aristocracy …” I guess I’m not much mistaken in choosing the name of the story, because, in my opinion, telefonchik deserves such a high title in their own circles, so to speak, but more to the point …
Corpus-cot in your mobile phone is designed in three colors: black, silver and gold. It is in the final color, he looks very cute in a female pen. And in this color spectrum me this phone is the most likable. Housing material - aluminum, with the exception of the back door, which closes the battery and SIM card, made of plastic, that is, in my opinion, not entirely logical, since it is this part of the body most exposed to various kinds of damage, but leave it on the conscience of developers . I note that, despite the metal chassis, it is not resistant to scratches, so I recommend for this handsome handbag purchase or otherwise protect it from external influences the content of women’s handbags product.
Here the question may arise that this mobile phone is intended only for the fair half of mankind? Answer - no! In a black and silver completely amiss for men’s hands, but since the clamshell, and on my personal observations of the most popular among women, and to direct this story will be more of them - cute girls, girls and self-respecting women as for work, self-organization, well, or just talk … Yes, this model focuses on virtually all ages and do not hesitate to respond to all standard queries of the average user on the network GSM.
Speaking about the appearance of this mobile phone, I want to note that there is no external display device, which immediately makes many wonder about the inconvenience of use. Do you know who’s calling, writing, do not look at the clock, etc. But let us recognize that the majority of calls and SMS, we still somehow responsible, and the clock still many “hang” on the wrist, so it is not necessarily every time “pop machine”, but if these arguments did not convince you, and all of the above information you read from the phone’s display, you should think about buying monoblock. And that’s exactly what producers could be solved by removing the external display, so it seriously increase the time of the phone without recharging, 5-7 days, depending on the use devaysa.
I also want to note, from his observations that it is in Samsung’s longest run cables and the mechanism of disclosure phones, it refers to the “clamshell” naturally. The phone has a 1.3 megapixel camera, which is quite enough for “mobile” video and still photography without claiming to be high quality.
Opening the phone also causes positive emotions, especially the quality of execution, the color palette in choso style, which combines well with an external “gold” range of housing, a clear key travel, yellow illuminated keyboard (on models in black and silver color keypad backlighting - White) - all it gives the phone a certain perfection and “elevates” it over the analogues of the same price category. The keys are large and easier to read, navigation button does not cause discomfort when navigating the phone menu or the telephone book - in short, the keyboard on a five-point scale will give five. More pluses to the phone I want to include the following: a slot for memory card (use card micro SD) imposed on the left side of the phone that allows you, without turning off the device, if necessary, to make its replacement or other manipulation, well supported Jimm.
Display with a claimed 262 thousand hue does not meet the specified manufacturers designer bracket. In my opinion, the display could be put at 16 million colors, the more the battery allows it.
What else would like to say, of course, speaker, frankly, a bit upset, but it is - he is one! What does this mean? First of all, that ringtone and voice your interlocutor in the conversation plays the same speaker, which is not very good impact and the quality of playing melodies and voice contact. Please understand me correctly, these parameters I am particularly meticulously, because I think that needs to hear the call and to understand what information they want to denounce me - in my opinion, this is the main purpose of the phone, and everything else after that …
So the phone is set sound modes, and the profile of “the street” is not the most remarkable of them, there is an obvious overload dynamics and as a consequence of his “whistle and rattle. Best proven themselves “normal” profile! And yet, the speaker is located on the inside of the lid above the display, which is natural, but when folded it is closed, it muffles the sound of a few ring tones. If there were two speakers, external - to play melodies - and for the internal negotiations, as decided by Nokia, - the price should it not be!
In this small review I did not set a goal to describe all the technical characteristics of the phone, they are in great abundance at different sites, and written by people, probably more technically, “tipped” in the field, just wanted to share my impressions on this device. In conclusion, I want to say that the phone is used for more than six months and for the time has not received from the owner any criticism. Located in an accessible price range for most fans of “gamers” - from 4-5 thousand rubles. depending on the region. In appearance very respectable, no frills, austere, businesslike, probably will not be popular with teenagers, but for people who value reliability, ease of use and elegance of execution, the machine will be successful and serve more than one year.
At the finish, let your little review of this phone, once again congratulate all happy New Year, Christmas and wish fans of mobile devices beautiful winters, warm relationships and mobile new things!

Samsung
So, New Year was on the nose, there was a certain amount of money and a desire to change the honored unit Sony Ericsson K790i on something newer and tech.
Tasks for purchase:
1. Phone with touch screen, performed on a capacitive technology (I’m not against resistive screens, but namuchalsya in his time with the screen POCKET his film and a stylus, and I had formed stable rejection of these screens. Maybe someone of these screens and enjoy).
2. Must be digestible player.
3. Mandatory availability of Bluetooth, and it is desirable to Wi-Fi.
4. The keyboard, which can be used. (K T9 I for all time and was not used to - typing speed is lame.)
5. Mandatory ability to connect your own headphones Audio Technisa with a standard 3.5 mm connector. (Inserts in the ears do not stick, was the experience of using a headset complete with insert earphones from Sonerika, but the sound is not the same.)
6. OS - that anything but Windows.
7. Well price tag no higher than 7-7,5 tr
Select a brand - as many in that sound! Nokia no longer necessary - not in its range of devices with capacitive screens, and on the resistive prices markedly higher. Erica had fallen off because of his stupid connector (this is the main reason for the change of the current phone), at Motorola’s anything close to no cost.
Climb in the network, I decided to look at the Samsung (Corby and Star). The process of feeling in one of the hyperons has only led to the realization of fidelity select the type of sensor (in Star resistive technology, and he was taken only to verify the usability of on-screen keyboard).
Realizing that did not understand J, I continued my quest. So, going into a store, I see this phone:
I can see similarities with Corby - in fact it is a clone of his keyboard and a few cut-down functionality. What is noteworthy, as is the presence of connector 3,5 mm. But forgive me for all fans branded wired headsets, foaming at the mouth, proving that the manufacturer knows best what is best for the phone and us - the normal versions I have never seen.
Process gugleniya TTX apparatus Runet threw me into depression: review no. The situation is sad.
The decisive factor was the normal audio jack and an awl in a certain place. The tube is purchased.
TTX:
Form Factor: side slider.
Interface: USB, Bluetooth.
Screen: touch screen, capacitive, 2.6 inch, 240×320.
Position sensor: no.
Keyboard: QWERTY + retractable screen T9.
Memory: 30 MB internal + card microSD (TransFlash) (argues that holds up to 8 GB (2 GB now stands), the official site is no information).
Battery: 960 mAh.
Camera: 2 megapixel, fixed focus.
Audio: MP3, radio.
Access to the network: GPRS, EDGE.
Preset soft: a browser with zoom and finger scrolling, mail client, IM-client UTalk, games.
Package Contents: phone, a proprietary headset jack, User Manual, Charger.
Honestly, was killed in the absence of boxed product interface USB-cable. I walked fifteen stores - nowhere to be found, but the promise of five hundred rubles. For cable, which is simple as a door, it is somewhat too much.
Okay, go to the appearance and the hardware buttons.
On the front panel are three buttons (receiving calls, return to level up and hang up call), the hole at the bottom of the microphone and a metal grid dynamics in the upper part.
The rear part is occupied only a peephole camera and hole dynamics. At the upper end is plug 3,5 mm and a hole under the lace, the bottom does not burdened. On the left we see the volume buttons (menu, play the role of the scroll by page, the browser is responsible for scaling), the screen lock button (yes, 21 in the yard, but a complete block your phone runs only this key) and the inclusion of a voice recorder. On the right side of the camera button and lid interface connector. By the way, on the cover: do not cause me to trust her strength. If you constantly use the headset, loose cap will inevitably lose touch.
A slight touch displace the front panel up and see the keyboard. The screen is automatically rotated to landscape mode. The keys are small, but clear progress. My fingers do not miss, but they are not very large. Those with large palms, they can bring some inconvenience.
Housing is made of glossy plastic, so that all our prints. The screen is covered with hard plastic, not glass of course, but the scratch will be difficult. The sliding mechanism, in my view, sufficiently reliable. Movement between the halves of two weeks was found. Enjoyed in their time Nokia 5300 - were not the best impression. In this position, plus Samsung.
Luggage compared with SE K790 is simply absent. J Focus permanent, no flash, normally you can only shoot in good light. Indoor shooting will be a difficult task.
The software part.
Lock: in fact there are 2 types of locks: complete (only when you press the lock) and block the sensor (automatic, is removed by pressing any hardware button).
To withdraw from a full block has 2 methods:
1. Clicking on any hardware and the subsequent retention of virtual buttons.
2. Hold the unlock button.
The solution with 2 methods controversial - I’m used to that phone on the block will do anything under any circumstances.
Main screen: the lower part is occupied by virtual call key on-screen keyboard, contacts, and the main menu on the right retractable socket with widgets. Widgets can be dragged on the screen to access their content. The list of displayed widgets edited, but the choice is possible only from the predefined elements. In Russia’s fun to see the widgets MySpase and FaceBook and did not see them for our social networks.
On-screen keyboard: when dialing a number is no problem, is available quickly set upon a long hold keys. Disadvantages arise when searching - T9 disabled by default. It is unclear why not make the preservation of the latter state.
Internet: here you can enable a menu item and Google, because Both his points lead in the browser. Browser: working, fast enough, with adequate scale. It is possible to disable JavaScript, images and sound on the pages. Of course, there is no data compression, but you can live, and even with pleasure. And if you absolutely unbearable - put the beta “Opera”.
Contacts: contacts list rather convenient. Ability to sort by first or last name, display only Sim, just phone or both lists, including them in the group by assigning common tones. Snap a photo to a contact is possible.
Messages: There is an interesting possibility of combining into a sort of SMS messaging. In addition, the younger generation will appreciate the possibility of a Bluetooth-chat. E-mail client works, but then weaves one of the limitations - not possible to view attachments in Office formats and pdf. It is connected with the exception of the delivered software applications PicselViewer. At Corby c that everything is normal. Of course, you can save the attachment and view it a third-party program, but it is already dancing. L
Multimedia: Player and FM-tuner is available as widgets and how the application. Play through headphones or through the rear speaker.
Player: Russian Tags understands well. You can create their lists. Not like:
1. You can not configure the equalizer (presets only).
2. When leaving the main screen through a key-clear call reset position in the song. For songs not critical, for podcasts and audiobooks have to rewind.
3. Manage the playback is only possible with the help of a sensor. Why not use the volume keys, as in Eric unclear. It seems the phone is positioned as a musical, judging from the audio jack, and such a blunder.
Tuner: antenna can be as headphones or a headset with a proprietary connector. Then think of something new - a problem. Text, setup and maintenance stations, the ability to record. On hearing the radio playing softly player.
File Manager: proudly bears the name “My Files”. Work can be, but there is even a feature (I do not know, this is a bug or a feature) - when you scroll through the list is only finger method, the hardware buttons do not work (in other menus, they remind exercise by page scrolling). With a large number of files in a folder finger may get tired. J
Organizer nothing special of themselves do not represent: calendar, notes, tasks, calculator … There is nothing unusual.
The camera, as already mentioned, is optional. Resolution images to 1600×1200, video up to 320×240.
Chat: Now that’s interesting. Customer (UTalk), as I understand it, a third party. After connecting to the network and registering it is possible to connect different networks accounts.
Here is a list of office. website:
# UTalk supports the following IM clients: Windows Live Messenger (MSN / Windows Messenger);
# Yahoo! Messenger;
# AOL ICQ;
# AOL Instant Messenger (AIM);
# IChat;
# Google Talk;
# Jabber (XMPP);
# Tencient QQ;
# Facebook Chat.
Given the support automatic rotation of the screen and keyboard - excellent replacement Jimm. Depressing request to connect to the network each time you start - the application, which stands for default, the manufacturer could, and to ensure unhindered access to the network. Although this is IMHO.
Applications: a set of fairly standard: a voice recorder, timer, stopwatch. It’s funny that the alarm passed to the main menu, and FM-radio is included here. Here is a list of installed java-applications. And here just a terrible restriction - despite a sufficient number of free memory, its application is limited by the amount (guglenie said about 4 MB). Number of installed programs, thereby greatly reduced. Pleases only that when you install your phone does not delete jar-files. If during the java-application incoming call, the application is suspended. After the call box appears with a proposal to continue or discontinue his work. A little about Bluetooth: in the exchange rate falls sharply work (virtually impossible to use), otherwise the norm.
Passed on to the main menu is simple and alarm nezateyliv. Time, day of week, number of repetitions, the melody. Simple and works.
Settings: the features (although the Samsung, maybe it is standard):
1. A nice feature alerts when changing SIM (single should be sent SMS). If you lose your phone, it should in theory help to find, but hope, of course, her little knowledge of our craftsmen.
2. In one place, assembled configuration storage of images, video, incoming files, etc. Convenient.
3. Feedback - at the touch screen phone for a short time includes vibration. Really convenient. The network said that the technology is proprietary.
Well, actually feeling from the tube:
The battery holds a day after a workout 2-2,5. In this ever-enabled Bluetooth, put the application calls a day for 10-20 minutes, player for 3-4 hours a day. After Eric with him one day more than acceptable.
In his hand is normal, during the call screen automatically locks, and the index finger falls exactly on the camera lens J. Not fatal, but unpleasant (clean - laziness).
Dry residue:
Pros:
1. Price! Capacitive sensor with a normal plug for 6999 - it is cheap. The closest pursuers nervously smoking in the corner.
2. 3,5 mm jack without an adapter - it is good.
3. Side slider - quite rare in our latitudes.
4. Keyboard - for Ineta and “ICQ” irreplaceable thing.
5. Installed applications through closer integration with the pipe can be used. Email Newsletters have dopilivat.
Cons:
1. Lack of USB-cable included - were killed. Worse - at office. site there is no hint of what kind of cable I need. And by the way: there is no complete data on the capabilities of the tube or on the site or in the forum of the company (short description in a set does not count).
2. No multitasking. Extremely unpleasant.
3. Limited amount of memory for applications.
4. If you use widgets, one screen frankly not enough.
5. No hard buttons for the player. Sad.
Total: Yes, the phone is not perfect, yes, the economy, as always, goes sideways. But he is still good. I, in any case, the purchase, even if made in a hurry, do not regret. Successful to us all purchases in the coming year.

In the past two years, especially in the last, in 2009 there was more and more intense confrontation between the two giants in the mobile industry - Nokii and Samsung. Given that during this time virtually surrendered their positions Motorola, has fallen into a serious crisis of such an original manufacturer, as SoniEriksson, a serious competitor for the crown of world leader, leaving only Nokia and Samsung.
True, there are more and LG, are now engaged in the world, 3 among manufacturers of mobile phones, but in Russia this brand enjoys little popularity, it is in the medium of mobile phones, as opposed to, say, monitors, and appliances of the manufacturer. I personally see the explanation of the weak perception of brand LG our population that model in their characteristics, device looks very similar to the Samsung, but concede to the “untwisted” and durability. I was 5 LG phones and they all had problems with software, in contrast to the same Samsung, from the mass of phones this vendor I have only podglyuchival Becoming a bestseller, as the X700, for which he was replaced by 6233.
Here I would like to compare phones, which at first appears no amount of features, megapixels, and other technical characteristics, and appearance, style and image, quality of materials, colors and variations. These devices are increasingly female, although the fact that we are witnessing in real life, I will say that recently saw the guy Samsung E500 white with gold, this stylish and image raskladushechka typically female, and enjoys the guy. I remember he bought a dark red Sonerik K810, K770 replaced him, because of too ambiguous color. And in general use that will catch the fancy, in the end each has its own tastes and if the phone is like, why not buy? Not everybody can be brutal peasants bars bluish-black color. As I know myself, sometimes eerie, all these brutal wedges bored and want diversity of form, color and content. Yes, life is rich and not a single black color, coupled with silver.
So phones, which will be discussed today - a stylish and branding solutions aimed more for the female audience, while men enjoy all 3 of the decision, and I use myself sometimes 7510, and 5200 to listen to the radio (sometimes).
So, we start in order: Nokia 7510 Supernova - an image phone Supernova fashion collections for women from Nokia, extendible, removable panels (in Russia in the sale of blue / brown and green / red), change the front and rear panels. It is only from the entire collection, suitable also for a strong half of mankind. Inside the sixth edition of S40, currently the most modern and interesting for Nokia phones.
In this collection there are also more expensive slider 7610, probably to compare with the Samsung and LG have been more correct to choose his name, but, sorry, I was not there, it is first, and not because he wondered how the clamshell. Screen him less inside an older and buggy 5 edition, body materials cheaper and there is no novelty in my opinion, too much came out recently, sliders and even Nokia, and the models 6500, 5610, 6600 it will be more interesting. But very few clamshells, in general, this form factor is losing popularity, and losing badly, the last time their was very little, and I even more so, so decided to buy it is 7510, I think it is interesting.
Samsung S5200 - stylish image and a very beautiful slider, his wife bought a second phone Teacher’s Day, red and black. This technology is applied gradient painting, when the red (or blue) gradually becomes a black color, looks great, the same technology is applied and in LG KF510.
LG KF510 is very beautiful and unusual phone, we had a red color, there are still gray and gold, but the red thing is, girls, look, he disappeared. Externally, the phone looks super on the front panel there is not a single button, only the screen, protected by a red-hot glass (not plastic), and the touch pad with LEDs, illuminated crosses. Also bought his wife, later sold and replaced on the Samsung U800.
Compare the data model in numerous specifications, forgive, stupid. Again, I repeat, the target audience, in this case, women and girls, do not choose a model based on the many technical nuances, they attracted to the beauty. Of course, every girl is different and someone, as can be seen and the stories of Helpiks very even understand these nuances, but this Give multimedia monsters, or adjusted business decisions, but today is not about them. Rather, I will try to describe the experience for users, and you, girl, choose, and you guys, your half will get the prizes.
Nokia 7510 (I have the color of emerald green and fatally red) felt (even as there can be uppity types of head and fractured) and chubby tyazhelenkim, because the whole basis of the phone - stainless steel. Only a removable panel (by the way, you can order about 12 colors on the site Nokii, one set of 600 rubles) are made of plastic, plastic slightly velvety, pleasant, does not slip hands. Like the popular 6131, there is a button opening the device, click on it should be with some effort, the upper part of the book sometimes reveals too abruptly, and sometimes so smoothly that gets stuck in the middle.
The external screen is made very bright and unusual, it is colored, lit by white light passing through the corresponding color changeable panels, gets painted to match panel. In conversation, photography, addition of the volume on it there flying boxes, and with characteristic for a specific action figures, looks very effective. Also displays icons missed calls, SMS, etc. In the closed camp bed in the background working player and radio, the compositions are also displayed on an external display, of course it is not as informative as the last bit versions of Motorola, but coping with their tasks.
At the opening of 7510 we were met by a magnificent display quality comparable with the 6131, 6300, size 2.2-inch, 16 million colors. It can evaluate all the splendor of colorful view from Nokia (any set of 3, 5, 6 publications), photographs and pictures. Interestingly, in comparison with the 6303 edition is also 6, but slightly different type of icons, the 7510 made more stylish.
The entire inner surface - gloss on both sides, the surface shines and shimmers, block keyboard is very good, big, buttons set square, very, very pleasant and easy to use, pressing them, you get the tactile pleasure. That’s how amazing, to compare the keyboard and Navi-block in 7510 and N78, like a manufacturer, but in 7510 is a small masterpiece, on the N78 - a quiet horror.
Among the shortcomings I noted a few unusual opening with a button (not unusual as the know-how, and in a certain sense of discomfort, because of the weight of metal), I have a minimum gap halves (almost negligible, there is a slight shift in one of the sides in the closed form ) and some clicking under the lower row of the keyboard when you press, as if nedokleili, I suppose. So check for the purchase.
Telephone loud, has a separate speaker at the bottom of the back, conversational speaker of excellent quality, almost comparable to Motorola. In general, the phone is very bright, large, heavy, attracts interested glances of passers-by. Impressions from the phone now, just excellent, seen quite a while I did not have cots, bored. A combination with the new platform and this screen makes this more handsome and functional.
Samsung S5200 a great camera, comes in two colors, black and red and black and blue. Suitable gradient coloring case, when the color from one to another smoothly, looks impressive and very beautiful. I bought the wife the phone in “M-Video” option in the red for 7000 rubles.
Telephone loud enough that the Samsung I think of no small importance, as is often encountered with soft-sounding devices. On the upper half of the slider are buttons and navigation button, they are big and comfortable, navigation buttons are lit from within. The numeric keypad is made of an all-metal plate, located on the bottom of the slider, it also is easy to operate, although not as in 7510. The sliding mechanism for a smooth and soft, half did not go off, the disclosure smooth. Progress is good. Build a whole is very high quality, reliable, expensive materials.
The screen on the phone 2.2 inch (as in Nokii and LG), excellent quality, in general, all 3 phones are comparable in quality screens, the 5200 screen is protected by a thick plastic. The menu corresponds to the latest appliance company. In total there are 3 themes design, they look nice and colorful, you can create your theme, but to download the theme from the other Samsung impossible, unless, of course, do not dig the firmware (it then becomes possible to deal). In this particular weakness of the apparatus from Samsung, a pity that they deprive the users to download a wide range of topics, thereby transform the apparatus.
Until recently, and with the games was just the trouble, now installing games have become easier, though they play on devices from Samsung look like something simpler, affects a small device performance. On the other hand, not many users of this model will play in the game, and a bright, colorful interface model is present, there is a bright theme, and beautiful wallpaper. Pity there is no screen saver living world, for some reason are abandoned.
Talking on the phone can be in a position opened, you can take the opening bell, and closed the conversation is also possible. Voice quality good, all can hear normally. Staff is very pleasant to use, in my male opinion, one of the most beautiful, sturdy and attractive models for girls and women, a good substitute U600/U700, such as a stylish, thin, without zamorochennyh touch keys and an updated platform.
LG KF510 probably the most unusual, most vivid and eye-catching apparatus of the trio, but unfortunately, as it turned out, and the most unreliable. His appearance is unique - the entire apparatus is made, probably more correct to speak cast from aluminum, has a gorgeous gradient color red-black (there are more golden-black and gray-black), a lovely 2.2-inch screen is closed by this red-hot stack that protects against scratching, although aluminum is a plastic base. For more originality and grandeur creates a touch pad, the buttons on the top half of the slider not only touch the keys, which are burning crosses on the panel, if a finger on it - created curlicue, the sensors respond very well.
Perfectly executed and keyboard, it is the color of the shell, the keys are soft and are made like special ligature. However, the very comfortable keypad average, compared with Samsung, but loses Nokia 7510. The device is very loud, with good reception and communication. Screen savers are made of flash technology, and there are about 20, most of them are very bright, colorful, somewhere flower blossoms somewhere sleeping, dancing and having fun funny little men, and somewhere a fountain spray of colorful balloons.
In general, all participants in today’s “race” has something to offer our ladies, and not just the ladies. If you want a really unusual, bright, stylish phone, made from quality materials, make sure you pay attention to the trio! Here, the priority in choosing the phone are not specifications, but such a thing as “like-dislike. I have seen people who are enthusiastic about each of them, but especially from LG, to be honest.
And finally, still are the most strengths and weaknesses of each model, after all, have a look and functionality in one phone - it’s better than just a pretty design. And you see and choose.

Samsung
Until a few years, especially after the debacle of expensive image solution Serene, not those who could not have thought that Samsung decided to compete with the 8-th series of Nokia, and even with the Vertu! But come 2009, and started selling Samsung Ego - a kind of sight of the Korean company to address the premium segment. A peculiar - because with such a powerful design center could create something original and become a trendsetter in this intricate luxurious class of mobile phones.
However, Samsung Ego turned banal copy Vertu Constellation, but with the addition of elements from one of the most successful business units Samsung - Model X700 (similarity guess when viewed in profile, the keyboard is all supposedly moved from the X700 without any changes). Yes, the “ego” can boast a perfect build quality, excellent materials of the shell (the firm Liquid Metal), the functional form of the raisins in AMOLED-display, 5 megapixel camera, slot for two SIM cards, slots for memory cards again. But the functionality is not important: would have been more original design, Samsung Ego would be considered by us in a completely different light. And yet … The first pancake is always lumpy, but given that Samsung is seeking leadership, wherever involved (it is worth comparing at least the first smartphone, and Samsung INNOV8, giving odds smartphone Nokia), it is easy to guess that in the 2010-2011 year we will see more conceived in terms of appearance, and in terms of marketing premium solution from Samsung, which will no doubt go down in history phone mobility.
