Yesterday PC World released a slide show of some smoking new cell phones for fall. Many of these are cream of the crop for office employees on the go – the real fast go. Or you know for people who like fun toys to enhance the daily office experience.
I’ll just show two and you can catch the rest at the PC World slide show.
My least favorite first:
The Samsung Juke. It’s the width of a Palm Treo 680 but skinny and supposedly easy to pocket. The part I’m not loving is the swivel display. The inner phone area looks pretty simple (thus swell in my opinion) but I’d find it hard to trust a phone that swivels. In my experience things that turn to open usually turn at the wrong time, too fast, or deteriorate quickly. Also there’s no EvDO connectivity. The price is a pretty cheap $100 at Verizon Wireless (if you take advantage of all the discounts and contract deals). The cheap part scares me off some because with cells you really do seem to get what you pay for which makes the swivel aspect all the more questionable. I doubt this would be a great office minded phone although the kids will love it.
On a fun bonus side they are having a Juke Box Hero Contest. Oh, and I love the teal coloring they have available for the phone but overall the swivel feature is sort of freaky.
My favorite:The Nokia N95. I’m not normally a huge Nokia fan but I really like the looks of this bells and whistles phone.
Read some of the perks, “WCDMA HSDPA and quad-band GSM connectivity, assisted GPS, 802.11g Wi-Fi, a music player, stereo speakers, and a 5-megapixel camera (plus a secondary camera, seen here at upper right, for videoconferencing)...and a 2.6-inch, 240-by-320-pixel (QVGA), 16-million-color display”
Luscious right. I love the keyboard it looks super user friendly and the design is just calling my name sleek and trim but not dull. The review at PC World relates, that the dual-slider design, “Felt solidly constructed and convenient to move one-handed.” Plus the screen sits vertically or horizontally. This is a loaded mobile. Without seeing one I’d never say never; but I’m betting the Nokia N95 won’t disappoint as a new office do-it-all.
If you visit Nokia you can see this phone up close and it looks even better. Also on a whim I checked CNET and they gave the N95 a thumbs up too. We all know CNET doesn’t lie. The bad news is price. I saw it somewhere for around $560 – and that was low. Not nightmarish for all these bonuses by any means but still not cheap.
