Phone Reviewshttp://www.greencells.org/phone-reviews/en-US2012-02-10T23:43:56ZSquarespace Site Server v5.11.81 (http://www.squarespace.com/)BlackBerry Bold (9700)http://www.greencells.org/phone-reviews/2010/5/12/blackberry-bold-9700.htmlGreenCells2010-05-12T20:39:54ZThis version of the Bold line is the premier and most capable of all RIM's lineup for the BlackBerry's. Bold carries all of the advantages of the original Bold 9000, improves upon them and adds more! Moreso than the already ultimately business-oriented streamline of the BlackBerry OS, the way that the 9700 Bold cater's to the professional in the field or in the office is unlike any other smartphone out there.  The options available to the user are extensive, as it is necessary when on the job.  File management, along with spreadsheet/powerpoint/text document viewing, is simple.  Managing connections is a breeze with wireless networks, WLAN and Bluetooth devices, as with all BlackBerry's.  Excellent messaging/Emailing is a necessity when communicating in the business world, as it is with the Bold 9700.  Powerhouse Email management and threaded messaging simplifies it all.  As if application wasn't beauty, RIM's design of the 9700 is luxurious and eye-catching. Leatherette backing doesn't just make it comfortable to hold, although it does compliment in the already very comfortable size and shape of the phone.  The full QWERTY keyboard is large enough for easy and lengthy texting or Email conversations, but did not obstruct the very sleek and simple face, largely dominated by the posh and bright LCD.  The center navigation trackball is replaced by an optical pad, that accurately and comfortably retains the feel of the ball.  Not only is it easy to use, but it stays flush with the face surface, and cannot succumb to issues the trackball often had.  The Bold remains the ultimate professional tool.

Its reverse-flip QWERTY keyboard sits on the outside of the phone, and flips into view alongside single 3.1” touch screen.  While this will turn heads with the keyboard on the outside flipping up, a touchpad on the back of the keyboard eliminates the need to move the hands from “texting” mode in order to navigate the screen. This formation is organized to be optimized by a user that doesn’t just need to SMS message, but to communicate through several messaging and media channels at once. This is ability comes through MotoBlur, a superimposed user interface over the versatile Android operating system that combines tons of communication and media channels and pumps them through to the user in a smooth and optimized fashion. This high-end phone comes with all the popular and connective properties of an all-in-one Android phone, like WiFi, 5MP camera, Bluetooth, and so much more!

This is for good reason, too, as its fast, reliable and responsive hardware setup is optimized to be a model vessel for Google's ever-evolving, highly potential Android operating system that has caused a restructuring in the smartphone market. Its large, solid and crystal-clear HD touchscreen is perfect for displaying the versatile expression of the user interface, and tracks back to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard. Through the grace of Android, the Droid operates and simplifies all of your communication outlets in one system; SMS, MMS, Gmail, Email Client, IM, YouTube and other streaming, Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Skype, Buzz, geotagging capabilities and more are all either readily available or available upon download from the Android Market. The impressive 5 megapixel camera, with auto focus and LED flash, takes high-quality pictures and videos, which can be uploaded with ease to be viewed by all. The Android platform is also known for being capable of analyzing pictures taken with the camera and using it to find things on the internet such as prices from barcodes, artwork, information and more. A-GPS, voice recognition, WiFi, multiple-format music player(and headphone jack), and the list goes on to make this an exceptional smartphone and gives the phrase 'communications device' a new meaning.

The Cliq does have a 5 megapixel camera and a full QWERTY keyboard, but the difference from other smartphones is its MotoBlur user interface; it’s a customized build of the infamous Android operating system that uses Android’s extensive concentration on interactivity to the internet for expansive networking capabilities.  MotoBlur brings updates, E-mails, messages, personal information, media, contacts and more from all your online networking locations to a cleverly streamlined interactive output to the user. This information is used for all of the aspects of the phone, including phone calls, location, photos and more. The Cliq brings all this information to life in one device, even if you are doing something fundamentally complicated as talking to Joe, accessing a Facebook message containing the address of a restaurant, finding the fastest route to it from Joe’s current location AND yours, and knowing how long it will take him to get there, and whether or not you should bring a coat.

The MyTouch 3G (HTC Magic) is its successor, with many improvements made for the expanding community of Android fans.  A smaller, sleeker design, sextupled internal memory, more comfortable dedicated buttons, and lighter weight are the most noticeable in change.  Another big alteration is the lack of physical keyboard.  The physical dimensions of the phone make it easy to handle, easy to store, and easy on the eyes.  Despite its smaller size, it has not sacrificed any screen size, accessibility or functionality.  The MyTouch 3G has access to all the amenities that the Android OS has to offer, including direct and easy access to all of Google’s free features including Gmail, YouTube, Google Talk, Google Voice, and more.  The Android Market allows the user to fully customize and enable their phone to amazing and growing extents, much for free more than ever.

Of course, this is just an introduction to the full messaging powerhouse inside. If you flip back the vintage-styled face, you will find a comfortable, easy-to-use full-QWERTY keyboard that accommodates shortcut buttons for messaging, contacts, switching applications and camera mode. Viewing email, web pages, videos and other such media is easy with the bright widescreen LCD.  The stereo-sound speakers enhance the media experience and, with Full-Duplex speakerphone, is clear and easy to carry a conversation hands-free.  The Impact contains the latest technology for media-playback and 3G data services.
