The Hitz 101 has a basic design reminiscent of so many candybars that have come and gone, and reminds us of the older Nokia phones, especially the 2210. The phone’s covered with hard plastics all around and a two-tone colour scheme. The screen looks scratch-proof with a hard plastic glass. The screen is rather small, standing at 1.5 inches with 65K colours and 168×168 pixels. The screen is bright and does well under direct sunlight. The soft plasticky keypad is a little unintuitive, not to the point of frustration but it just isn’t fun or easy typing into the keypad. The keypad has Thai characters and would be useful for those of us who know the language. The D-pad is a nice touch, but feels awfully stiff. Do be prepared to flex your finger to work the keypad here. The charger port is located at the bottom of the phone, the port’s is a micro-USB port. Beside it is the 3.5 headphone port. Opening the rear of the phone was a slight challenge, the plastic is latched hard and like tight drawers will need a few tugs before it slides open. Crack open the rear of the phone and you’ll see the 680 mAh battery. Remove the battery and you’ll see the SIM slot. Read the rest of this entry »

iCare doesn’t own any display, hence no menu can be viewed as well. There are 4 most commonly use button used to called out to 4 predefine party. Namely daddy, mummy, friend and teacher. But how am I going to set the contact no into it for us to call out? Here come the important role that user manual play now. Since iCare doesn’t have any keypad for us to enter number. The only way to do the setting is going thru the sms. Just follow the instruction stated in user manual, by sending the sms to the iCare, you are able to set the 4 party contact no into it. By sending the sms to iCare, you are able to customize the SOS no which should used for kids to call for somebody in case of emergency.

This is useful for kids, as it is design to be more water spill resistant, no keypad/gap is exist. Hence it is more tough and shock resistant and suitable for active kids. The important idea of iCare is that, whenever kids wanna give call to mum, what he/she need to do is to press the mum logo button, that’s it. Same happen to daddy, friend or teacher button. Of course, you can set other like grandpa or grandma contact no as friend/teacher calling. Read the rest of this entry »

The 613 is a rather large candybar device, black in colour with a protective slide cover over the camera lens on the back of the phone. Although the front of the device looks fairly decent, the rear of the device looks and feels like cheap plastic. That alone drops the value of the phone in our eyes by a couple of hundred ringgit. The volume toggle is on the right, and so is the camera button. The slot for the MicroSD card is on the left side of the device, while the USB port to plug in either the charger or the data cable is at the bottom of the phone. Read the rest of this entry »

The i-Mobile 520 is part of the Multimedia range of phones sold by Samart i-mobile (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd. At the time of writing, the RRP for this device is RM 448. The 520 is a simple candybar device with the buttons on the front and the camera lens on the back. The surface of the casing appears to be brushed metal, but tapping upon it with other metal items did not produce a metallic ring, so it appears that this is merely a very well done paint job. There is a volume toggle on the left, while the camera button is on the right. Also found on the right side is the USB port and the slot for the MicroSD card. The screen is a 262K-colour one, measuring in at 176 x 220 pixels for a rather small but fairly bright effect. We liked the default wallpaper which displayed two clocks. One clock showed KL time while the other showed Sydney time. Read the rest of this entry »

The 603 may not be SMS-friendly but it is truly wonderful when making calls as the other party comes out loud and clear. It also has a speakerphone function, which comes in handy when your hands are full but, unfortunately, it has its faults.

Even though I could hear the caller well, the caller couldn’t hear me and I had to repeat myself many times. So, I ended up not using the speakerphone after all.

Just like most mobile phones these days, the 603 is equipped with a 1.3-megapixel camera that shoots stills and videos. like most candy bar phones, the camera is housed at the back of the phone but thanks to a rather nifty switch, it flips out to the front for self-portraits.

It comes with the usual bells and whistles found on most camera phones, including various photo effects as well as night and burst mode. Read the rest of this entry »

The i-mobile 502 is rather similar to certain Siemens and Samsung slider models. In fact, the railing that both halves of the phones slide upon appears to be strikingly similar to the ones on the Samsung E800.

It is a nice-looking phone though, although you do have to press and hold down the camera button at the side to activate that feature. This phone could use a better camera though. The one we looked at was rather blurred and did not have all that many features. Software
There are two games in the phone. One is the evergreen Tetris, and the other one is simply called Jumper. Both appear to be games for the fairer sex, and the cutesy look of the whole device indicates the preferred user of the phone.There is a built-in radio to the phone, and you have to attach the earphones to activate this function. I was surprised by the lack of a video function for the camera, as this is quite common now in most makes of phones.

Making and fielding calls was a breeze. The 502 works just like any other phone. Press the call button and a list of recently dialled numbers is shown to you. Read the rest of this entry »

The tiny iMobile 310 is smaller than most MP3 players on the market but this device also packs in a tri-band phone into its tiny chassis.

Is it an MP3 player or a phone?The iMobile 310 (pictured) is both. The tiny device is about the same size as many of the ultra-portable MP3 players we’ve already seen on the market, but amazingly there’s also a tri-band mobile phone on board as well. Read the rest of this entry »

Are you a hypochondriac who would love to constantly know how dirty the air is that you’re breathing? Nokia has come up with a concept phone, displayed at today’s Greener Gadgets conference, which features a wearable sensor unit that can analyze your environment, health, and local weather conditions.

The sensor unit then sends the data to your phone, so you can share that information with your social network leading to a “whose space is dirtier” flame war. Read the rest of this entry »
