My firsthand experience with LG Lollipop Cookie Flip – pink one.
If you love to turn heads and let the eyes chase you all over, this is your kind of phone. LG G580, precisely known as LG Lollipop is truly chic, sweet as lollipop and I call it a Barbie doll phone. It definitely looks best in a girl’s hand, but also young boys look cool with it.
I am totally in love with it and its funky colors – blue, pink, black. I love this clamshell phone’s LED lights, which come with multiple patterns. Best part is you can also customize that, like you can write your own name or your lover’s name. Top LED lights either exhibit caller’s number or design patterns. I love its big screen and great clarity of 3 megapixel camera. At times I get calls when I am on the move, which irritate me, I don’t wish to receive them, and also cutting them may drag me into problem. But with this phone my ear gets a relief and without fuss too. I just turn my phone backside up, and it becomes silent. Its battery life is cool. Big keypad and really big screen makes texting experience really easy and fun.
It has an extra camera for video calling. That’s cool and futuristic. I love its pre-loaded ringtones and wallpapers. Very few phones come with such a huge variety of cute interactive wallpapers. There are customizable ones too. Since this phone is extremely attention grabbing make sure you are careful about it.
Internet connectivity is great too. It easily connects to social networking sites. It’s not a touch screen phone, but equipped with all latest futuristic features. It’s loaded with lot of games. It’s been more than 6 months I am using this phone and I still can’t get my eyes get off it. I am often asked about this phone and people love to check it out themselves. Bluetooth, FM radio, memory card – all are there. You can also edit pictures with graphical elements and special effects. Its battery can be charge by attaching to computer or laptop. This phone is long, but very sleek in breadth an looks damn cute.

User Interface
RIM has put in a lot of effort in cleaning out the creases in the User Interface. The effect is most evident on the home-screen that has been designed to help you locate the most used functions easily.
RIM couldn’t have done a better thing with BlackBerry than providing it with the Webkit based browser which is faster and smoother, and that serves as an assisting tool for the e-mail on this phone.
Moreover, Wi-Fi syncing enables you to transmit music from your PC to your phone wirelessly.
How about knitting all your Twitter, Facebook, instant messaging, and RSS feeds in one spot? That is exactly what the new application – Social Feeds – of OS 6 does.

Are you tired of spotting an iPhone everywhere and so you want something different for yourself yet as dashing? Guess what, a Samsung Galaxy S in your hands can puzzle even the geeks for the second or third generation iPhone!
Samsung managed to launch its new series of devices with all four major US carriers – AT&T’s Captivate, T-Mobile’s Vibrant, the Fascinate for Verizone and Sprint’s Epic 4G.
It is the 4 inch Super AMOLED display of Galaxy S which has been the talk of the town. It is Samsung’s own technology with 800 x 480 resolution, vivid colors, sharpness, and an alright visibility even in the bright sun.
It is a responsive capacitive touch-screen that responds well at a relatively light touch, and has interesting multimedia skills.
Considering the large sized screen, this smartphone is slim and light weight at 9.9mm and 119g. It appears to be very plastic, but the handset is pretty durable and strong.
There is a 3.5 mm headphone jack at the top, and four capacitive buttons – Menu, Home, Back, and Search – below the screen.
The Samsung Galaxy S sports triband 900/19002100 HSDPA/HSUPA along with WiFi b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0 and a microUSB 2.0.
Samsung provides you with two cameras. The front facing camera is of VGA quality for video calls. The other 5mp auto-focus camera is at the back which allows you to record 720p HD video.
In the absence of a flash, shooting in poor light becomes difficult even when options for various modes to shoot in are available.
The 1GHz Hummingbird processor has been well paired with 1500mAh battery in Galaxy S. You get an internal storage of 8 GB or 16GB, and a microSD slot (for up to 32 GB cards). With Super AMOLED display you can’t expect super battery life too. On a single charge the battery accompanies you for two days, but it varies with the brightness of the screen.
Samsung Galaxy S is Android 2.1 based, but an underlying Samsung’s TouchWiz 3.0 UI is also pre-loaded.
The gesture-based keyboard, Swype needs to be enabled on the handset.
This smartphone has Samsung’s Social Hub for Facebook, MySpace and Twitter.
It streams video, audio and images, and portrays itself as a media source. In fact it can be used as a remote control too for remote server and play selected files.
There is GPS, accelerometer, digital compass, and proximity and light sensors on the Samsung phone.
With a horde of features and apps you have a tough choice to make between iPhone4 and Samsung Galaxy S. Once you pick up Samsung’s new series, check out the best of the lot which is undoubtedly T-Mobile’s Vibrant (with ‘Avatar’ pre-loaded!).
With so many smartphones flooding the market daily, don’t you get confused over what to buy and how to decide on what is the best? Most of these are packed with glossy features that may or may not suit your requirement. A larger phone screen for easy browsing and text reading is fast becoming the top most priority. Motorola Droid X has been introduced keeping the same view in focus.
A whopping 4.3 inch WVGA screen that is sharp, vividly colorful and bright enough to display in sunlight is all that you would want in your smartphone. Droid X enables high-definition video play back at 720p on its impressive screen. Verizone has thus bonded with Blockbuster – for movie rentals and NFL – for live game streaming.
Motorola’s phone is just 9.9mm thick which makes it exceedingly thin to slip into your jeans pocket.
This phone has a an appealing design with a tough exterior, grand multimedia features, HD video capture, HDMI output, mini USB slot, and it can be used as a mobile hotspot too.

At the top of Motorola Droid X is an 8.0mp dual LED flash camera which is 720p HD video enabled and has a shutter speed of 1/1000 per second.
The photos and videos are of superior quality. The videos have a considerably better sound quality, and the photos are less grainy.
The software of this Motorola phone is not as impressive as its virtual keyboard on its huge display which features multi-touch support.
The Droid X assists you with your e-mails, streaming music, social updates, FM radio, news, and GPS turn-by-turn directions efficiently.
The device supports Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, accelerometer, light sensor, and 3G mobile hotspot tethering (at a monthly cost).
The 1570mAh battery of Droid X facilitates you to use it in three different modes – 
Performance, Battery Saver, and Smart Mode. On standby the battery gives you company for around 3 days, but it all depends on your selection of mode too.
The phone sports 512MB RAM, 24GB storage, and a 16GB microSD card.
You can now interoperate and connect other devices like your home-theatre, Blu-ray player or DNLA ready TV with your Droid X as the phone features DNLA technology for the first time.
Motorola Droid X keeps up-to the reputation of its earlier models. Its large display is something that has grabbed most attention. You may not have a prominent MotoBlur on this Smartphone, but its software and UI is still better off helping you out in a refined way wherever required.
