The best thing about the way this handles e-mail is that the message content shows up vividly. It nicely manages JPEGs, HTML and PDFs.
Newsweek Reviewed Apple iPhone and gave out “Web-browsing is where the iPhone leaves competitors in the dust. It does the best job yet of compressing the World Wide Web on a palm-size device. The screen can nicely display an entire Web page, and by dragging, tapping, pinching and stretching your fingers you can zero in on the part of the page you want to read. The 2-megapixel camera works decently. It’s easy to send a picture, make it your wallpaper or—this is neat—assign it to a contact…”

The most remarkable thing about iPhone is what’s missing: a physical dialing keypad and/or full qwerty, or traditional, keyboard.
USAToday Reviewed Apple iPhone and gave out “One of the best features is visual voice mail. It lets you prioritize the messages you hear first — from your spouse or boss, say — rather than listen in the order in which messages arrived. Just tap on caller names to hear their message; tap “call back” to return the call.IPhone comes with a decent 2-megapixel digital camera. But it lacks a flash or zoom and doesn’t let you shoot video. Taking pictures is a tad awkward.”

The phone is so sleek and thin, it makes Treos and BlackBerrys look obese. The glass gets smudgy — a sleeve wipes it clean — but it doesn’t scratch easily.
NYTimes Reviewed Apple iPhone and gave out “But the bigger achievement is the software. It’s fast, beautiful, menu-free, and dead simple to operate. You can’t get lost, because the solitary physical button below the screen always opens the Home page, arrayed with icons for the iPhone’s 16 functions.The two-megapixel camera takes great photos, provided the subject is motionless and well lighted . But it can’t capture video. And you can’t send picture messages (called MMS) to other cellphones.”

Just like other Samsung phones, the U600 does not support multiple profiles. There are only 2 choices, normal or silent. The silent mode can be turned on by holding the key on standby.
MobileBurn Reviewed Samsung U600 and gave out “In terms of wireless connectivity, the U600 supports GPRS, EDGE, and Bluetooth 2.0. The device usually has no problem exchanging data with a computer via Bluetooth, but error messages do pop up every now and then. Headset pairing and A2DP stereo both worked as expected.It managed to squeeze a decent 3.2 megapixel CMOS camera with autofocus lens and LED flash into this super slim phone. A self-portrait mirror is also in place in case you need it. ”

Sanyo Katana II (SCP-6650) Collection By digitalBoy:
The FCC site has information on a new Katana from Sanyo, known as the Katana II. Also called by the model number SCP-6650.
The Katana II measures the same thickness as the Katana, but is 2mm slimmer in width and 4mm shorter. You get a larger external display, a 2.5mm headset jack, a camera, Bluetooth connectivity, and an internal antenna as well in this package.
Sanyo Katana II SCP-6650 Reviews:
CNET Reviewed Sanyo Katana II 6650 and gave out “The good: The Sanyo Katana II offers a more streamlined design and increased memory when compared to the first Katana. It’s also very affordable.The bad: The Sanyo Katana II is not that much of an upgrade from its predecessor. The photo quality was also subpar, and we felt the side buttons were too skinny.The bottom line: While the Sanyo Katana II is not hugely improved over the first Katana, it’s still a pretty good phone, especially for its price range. ”
PCMag Reviewed Sanyo Katana II and gave out “There’s a novelty-value-only VGA camera and a real Web browser, the Access NetFront browser. But this is mostly a voice phone. Reception for phone calls is good, though not quite as solid as on my beloved Sanyo SCP-8400. Also, rural users be advised—Sprint has removed analog service from this Katana. Call quality is pleasing, however, and like other Sanyo phones, the Katana II gets quite loud, though, like the original Katana, it tends to distort voices somewhat at top volumes.”

With the Nokia E61i, it goes to show how market forces can warrant the introduction of a phone that is a clear successor to the E61, but which doesn’t bring to the plate very significant differences save for the inclusion of a 2-megapixel camera, a much better build quality and a slimmer profile.
