HTC Trophy Review - BWOne.com Video Clips. Duration : 10.85 Mins.
bwone.com Twitter: twitter.com Facebook: facebook.com Empire Avenue: empireavenue.com Hardware & Design The HTC Trophy comes with standard specs for a Windows Phone 7 handset. It comes with a 3.8 inch capacitive touch screen that produces pretty good colors and view. Below the screen is your touch sensitive menu controls for back, home and search. On the sides you have buttons for volume, power, camera and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. In the back there is a 5.0 megapixel camera with flash and 720p HD video recording. The quality is pretty standard for both video and images. It's good enough for most but it's not going to blow you away. The overall phone has as soft touch finish and while not very thin is still light and doesn't feel like a paperweight in the pocket. Inside you have a 1 Ghz processor, 16 GB of storage and 3G global roaming with pre-installed SIM card. An overall good build here from HTC. Software & Usability The phone is running the latest version of Windows Phone 7 available with the NoDo update. The OS takes a different approach from iOS and Android. There isn't any icon shortcuts, widgets or multiple desktops. The main screen it made up of "live tiles" These tiles give you access to different applications and features and can tell you information about an application before you open it such as e-mail and messaging which will tell you how many messages are available. You can customize where tiles are located and can add new tiles from the app menu on the 2nd ...

Xperia Play By Sony Ericsson Review - BWOne.com

Xperia Play By Sony Ericsson Review - BWOne.com Video Clips. Duration : 9.22 Mins.
bwone.com Twitter: twitter.com Facebook: facebook.com Empire Avenue: empireavenue.com Hardware & Design The version we are reviewing here is the Verizon one and Sony Ericsson is known for solid hardware and the Xperia Play keeps that tradition alive. The 4 inch display with preinstall screen guard is crisp and great to view. Games and video have correct and vivid colors. The physical menu buttons is not common on android phones but fit well on here and don't feel cheap or flimsy. It's a thicker phone but has light weight to it while not feeling cheap. The big feature of this phone is the slide out PlayStation certified controller. It's a full controller with touch sensitive analog sticks. The controller feels great in the hand and I didn't get hand cramps while playing games. The buttons have a nice click to them and don't feel too small. The Xperia Play comes with a 5 megapixel rear facing camera and a front facing VGA camera. The phone doesn't record HD video which is disappointing considering that this is more in the high-end range of phones. The still images are pretty good and Sony Ericsson is known for putting solid cameras in their phones. Inside there is a 1.0 Ghz single core processor with an Adreno 205 GPU, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, pre-installed 8 GB SD card and 3G data speeds. Strange choice not to have 4G LTE on this out of the gate especially with online gaming and game downloads that you may want to do on the road. The design reminds me of a PSP Go but a lot more ...

LG Revolution Review - BWOne.com Video Clips. Duration : 9.92 Mins.
Full Review - bw1.co Twitter: bw1.co Facebook: bw1.co Empire Avenue: bw1.co The LG Revolution made its big début at CES 2011 this past January and I've been waiting patiently to get my hands on this high-end LG android handset which is something new for LG to do for the US Market as they usually tend to stay in the mid-rage when it comes to the US but with the G2x and Revolution they are stepping it up. Let's start off with the hardware. Hardware The LG Revolution isn't a thin phone by any means. One of the first things you will notice is that it's a bulky phone but as soon as you pick it up you will see the weight is evenly distributed and gives a comfortable feel in hand. The back has a nice soft touch coating that gives the overall feel of the device solid and premium. It comes with a 4.3 inch screen which is keeping up with the trend with 4G phones on Verizon. The screen is nice and crisp and will work for you but there are some angles where the screen will get washed out. About the screen is a 1.3 MP front facing camera a for video chat and a below the screen is your touch sensitive backlight buttons that are raised a bit higher from the bottom so you don't accidently touch. On the side there is a chrome trimming where you will find a micro USB port, mini HDMI but not cable included which is always lame and volume controls. On the top with no trimming is a 3.5 MM headphone jack and power button with a microphone port on the bottom where there is no trimming as well ...
