Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars I love this camera!.......2007-07-07

I purchased the camera several months ago and have used it on a couple of trips. I am totally satisfied with the pictures I get from it. There is so many ways you can use it in the manual mode. It is very compact so you can take it anywhere and use it without drawing attention to yourself. Just turn off the flash, up your film speed a little and shoot in the continuous mode or use the auto film speed if you like. I get about two pictures every second. The large viewfinder makes very a pleasant review of the pictures later and you can delete the one you don't want to keep. There is so much to this camera... I suggest browsing the owners manual, play with the camera and then read the manual. Take lots of pictures and get ready for that one shot that makes it all worth while.

4 out of 5 stars A good pocket DC.......2007-07-07

Solid build with pretty cool metal body. Picture quality is good for a slim DC. Video quality is also good but not the best.

The biggest complain will be the location of zoom controller. My hands and figures are normal size but feel hard to use and easy to make mistake.

4 out of 5 stars Great camera!.......2007-07-06

I've had an Olympus camera (1.3 MP, those were good ol' times), a Sony Cybershot (4.1 MP) and a Canon Powershot A520, but this one beats all of them and more.

The screen is great, it takes great photos and the autofocus comes very handy (especially for us lazy guys who do not want to take manual pics).

The only drawback this camera has, and this is a negative feature for all Canon cameras (Canon, can you hear me?), is that it doesn't show battery status but only when it is almost done with batteries. I guess you can live with that (I've had), but it would be nice to have a battery meter so I know what to expect.

5 out of 5 stars Canon Sd 800 Is.......2007-07-06

I give the camera a high note. It has everything for a person to take good pictures. The battery compartment door is a little cheap piece of plastic and the 16 Picture memory card is a joke. A full sized memory card would make much more sense and make a complet package.
Uwe Thielemann, San Mateo, Ca

5 out of 5 stars Everything I hoped.......2007-07-05

I LOVE this camera. I can't stop playing with it. I will say though that it'll take a while for a novice to learn exactly how to maximize a shot with all the different features. I'm not a fan of reading manuals either. but it looks great and does a fabulous job. I would highly recommend it if you're looking for a little more than a point and shoot but not quite ready for the big guns.

Amazon.com Product Description

The Sony Ericsson W800 was a big hit. Now, here comes the sequel, the W810i. All the same great Walkman features are here, along with robust phone functions, but now you get quad-band GSM, a larger and brighter display, and perhaps most importantly, support for EDGE high speed data. In addition to a powerful and easy-to-use Walkman music player, the W810i boasts a 2-megapixel auto-focus camera with flash, a Memory Stick Duo card slot, Bluetooth, and a speakerphone. Simply put, this baby's loaded.



Big screen, big features, big fun. View an interactive demonstration of the w810. You can also check out the W810i video.

Dedicated music control buttons make for easy listening.


Transfer songs to your W810i with the included Disc2Phone software.

Two megapixels of camera goodness.
Design
The W810i follows a long tradition of beautifully designed and crafted phones from Sony Ericsson. The same candy-bar style that graced the W800 is here, as is the horizontally-oriented camera unit on the back of the phone, allowing you to hold the phone just as you would a camera when you're taking pictures. The W810i's screen sports 176 x 220 pixel resolution with support for 262,000 colors. Quick access buttons below the screen make it easy to control the phone's Walkman music features, while a five-way center button controls most of the phone's menus and features.

The W810i contains 20 MB of embedded memory, but as mentioned, a Memory Stick Duo slot is provided, and it also supports Pro Duo cards, giving you storage capacities of 2 GB and beyond. The phone ships with a 128 MB Memory Stick Duo card. Of course, there's also a port for the phone's included stereo headset. USB and infrared data ports are provided, as well, and the phone supports USB mass storage so you can simply plug the phone into your computer and drag and drop files into the phone's memory using the included Disc2Phone PC application. To top it all off, the W810i's camera flash can double as a flashlight.

Calling Features
The W810i's phone book can hold up to 1000 contacts with multiple entries per contact. A call list remembers your most recent missed, received and dialed calls. The phone's voice activated dialing makes calling your contacts as easy as saying their names, while the built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear. Polyphonic ringtones are included and you can also use MP3 and AAC music files as ringtones. A cool application called Music DJ even lets you mix your own ringtones. Meanwhile, picture caller ID lets you assign a photo to specific callers. Similarly, a ringer ID lets you assign ringtones to callers. More ringtones are available from AT&Amp;T's MEdia NET mobile web service. For those times you want to keep things discreet, there's a vibrate ringer mode. And because the W810i is Bluetooth-enabled, you can use a variety of headsets and handsfree kits for total wireless freedom when you're on the go.

Messaging, Internet, and Tools
If you're looking for a mobile productivity partner, the W810i has you covered. Support is built in for sending and receiving pictures, text, graphics, and sound via MMS messages. When used in combination with the phone's built-in still and video camera, MMS opens up a whole new world of messaging possibilities. The phone also ships with a built-in email client with support for POP3, IMAP4 and SMTP protocols, while the included Access NetFront Web Browser allows you to surf full HTML web sites. An included IM client supports AOL, Yahoo!, ICQ and MSN instant messaging services. T9 text entry, a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit-- a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.

Getting on the Internet is easy with the W810i, as it supports the GPRS protocol, as well as the high speed EDGE data protocol. When used with a AT&Amp;T data plan and the phone's USB or Bluetooth data capabilities the phone can be used as a wireless modem for laptops and PDAs.

A number of handy software tools are bundled with the W810i, including a voice memo recorder, a to-do list, a calculator, a calendar and an alarm clock. The phone also supports the SyncML PC synchronization standard, which lets you synchronize your PC-based calendar, contacts, notes and tasks with your W810i.

Imaging and Entertainment
The W810i is a Walkman phone, and that means it offers a great mobile music experience. Load up your favorite songs in MP3 or AAC format on a memory card and listen to your heart's content. The user-friendly music player application also includes a "Music Mode" that shuts down the phone functions so you can listen on an airplane or anytime you don't want to accept calls. Meanwhile, Digital Mega Bass and stereo widening combine to enhance your listening experience. There's even an FM radio for catching the big game or your favorite stations. The radio also supports reception of digital song information from radio stations. To enjoy all your tunes, a stereo headset ships with the phone.

And don't forget about that powerful 2-megapixel camera, which features something most camera phones lack -- autofocus. Finally, you can get consistently great shots from any distance, shots that rival the quality of a dedicated digital camera. The camera also features an LED flash and a 4x digital zoom, and it can capture video, as well. Dedicated controls on the side of the unit will make you forget you're holding a phone in your hand.

And what about gaming? This phone is definitely geared for the mobile fun fanatic, as it supports widescreen and 3D games. The W810i comes preloaded with several games and more are downloadable from Sony Ericsson.

Vital Statistics
The Sony Ericsson W810i weighs 3.49 ounces and measures 3.94 x 1.81 x .77 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 8 hours of digital talk time, and up to 350 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 frequencies. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.

5 out of 5 stars Don't like Sony in general but this phone is great.......2007-07-02

Have had the phone for almost 1 month, it has been great so far.

Not being a fan of Sony (mostly due to proprietary format approach and not-deserved high price in many cases), I only buy two Sony products: near-pro audio headphone (adequate/inexpensive) and mobile phone (brilliant).

In the past 10 years, Sony Ericsson phone has become my favorite gradually. As a business user, I do value talk time and connectivity a lot more than other add-on features such as camera or MP3 player (I have an iAudio x5 for music). A phone must be a phone first. Sony drew my attention 3 years ago because of the long talk time and free included connectivity. Most other brands at that time, Motorola or Samsung for example needed to buy either additional cables or software for the similar connectivity options. However, I do like W810i's camera (legit quality) and FM radio.

Another bright spot is you can customize the four directional pads. I use them for: turn on/off Bluetooth, phone book, Text Messaging and FM Radio. My previous two Sony phones lack this feature.

The included headset cord and in-ear headset are great. It is very nice and allows me to plug in any stereo headphone with a standard plug. An overhead lightweight headset is much more comfortable than in-ear type or Bluetooth piece for prolonged conference call. The headset cord has a mic and a button to take/end a call.

The problem of touchy camera button is permanently fixed by new location and new design. This phone also includes USB cable which means you can easily/inexpensively unlock it.

To deal with the screen problem, I am considering getting Krusell Active Multidapt case from Amazon.com. Not ideal but may be the best option at this moment.

As to reception and talk quality, I have no complaint. I am living in the west side of Houston TX and travel coast-to-coast more than 50% of time. I believe most of static/talking quality and reception problems reported are caused by carrier in the particular area. In my case, it is Cingular/New ATT. When switched to Cingular from T-Mobile 1.5 years ago because of my company's contract deal, I noticed talking quality dropped immediately with the same phone (unlocked by T Mobile). Voice became patchy and coverage was worsened. Please be cautious with some user's comments. It may have nothing to do with the phone. That was my personal experience anyway.

Wish list:
1. Customizable time to lock the keypad
2. Included screen cleaning tissue (T610 had it) and/or screen protector film.

2 out of 5 stars Frequent call drops.......2007-06-27

I bought this phone with a family plane from Cingular a month ago. Trust me, I really want to like it. Great camera, mp3 player, FM radio ... But I frequently got dropped calls even if it displays a full bar. I tried to set the "Preferred Service" to "GSM Only", but it doesn't work. My wife's Moto KRAZ never has such problem in the same area I lives. So I figured it must be the phone itself. It looks like the only choice is to replace another type.

4 out of 5 stars This phone is the Bomb!.......2007-06-27

I just got the w810i last week and so far its been the best cell phone I've ever had. It is smaller than I originally expected which was a very pleasant suprise. I got a 2 gig MS duo card and now have almost 4 hundred songs on it with room to spare(it can take up to 4 gig MS duo). The music quality is very good on this phone. The speaker could be a little louder but when playing through headphones it is good. I don't like how there isn't a headphone jack though, you have to plug a cord into the bottom of the phone and then the end of that cord has the headphone jack on it. It gets annoying and the cord becomes quite long. The camera is alright, i haven't sent any pics to a computer yet, but when just saving and viewing them on my phone they seem just ok for 2 MP, quality will probably look better on a comp though. This phone is loaded with features including bluetooth and infrared also you can set the alarm to only go off monday through friday or whichever days you choose. The battery life is also very impressive. I usually listen to music on it about 5 hours each day at work and use it pretty frequently for calls and it will last 3 days. Im sure it could last at least a week on standby.
A couple cons-
There is a cingular media connect button that will take you right to the internet. If you don't put the lock on the phone when it is in your pocket, you could easily rack up some unwanted data charges. Also I don't like how you are unable to see the length of your calls in your call log.

Overall it is a sweet phone loaded with features and has only a few negatives. Especially for being a free phone, I highly recommend it.

4 out of 5 stars Great Combo!.......2007-06-27

Vast upgrade from an early model Motorola V3 I had been using. Our area has a great signal and voice quality/strength is always strong, no dropped calls. I am hard of hearing and the position of the speaker is perfect, max volume is not needed as with the V3. In the past I have not been an iPod type user but now find myself daily using both the Walkman and FM radio (again, good signals in our area). Overall I am very happy with this phone+.
I have upgraded to web use and find this functional and fun even with the smaller screen.
For the price a GREAT deal!

1 out of 5 stars DON'T DO IT! REASON FOR THE REBATE.......2007-06-26

I know this looks like a good deal, but don't fool yourself, this phone isn't worth the trouble. The camera stopped working after the first month, as Amazon took 2 weeks to get the phone to me and the "new" AT&T doesn't let you get the insurance after the first month, I now have a phone with a broken camera.



AT&T's connection is terrible (with this phone at least). I have replaced the SIM chip to see if that would help, but it hasn't. My only next step is to get AT&T to send me a replacement phone ($$$) or end my contract with them and try someone else ($$$).



Oh, and your rebate comes in the form of a disposable Credit Card, not a check, so unless you are very good at your spending, you won't get every dollar's worth.

Amazon.com Product Description

Adding a fashionable touch to Research in Motion's formidable arsenal of telephonic, PIM, and media tools, the BlackBerry 8300 Curve is also the smallest, lightest BlackBerry phone that includes a full QWERTY keyboard. This amalgam of the svelte BlackBerry Pearl and the more business-oriented 8800 combines RIM's long-valued corporate email and messaging platform with a host of advanced multimedia features, including a 2-megapixel camera and stereo Bluetooth (for listening to music via wireless headphones). Available in the U.S. exclusively from AT&T, it communicates over GSM/GPRS and EDGE networks and offers global voice and data roaming in over 130 countries.

Key features at a glance:


The svelte, liquid silver BlackBerry Curve has a QWERTY keyboard and 2.5-inch screen on the front, and a 2-megapixel camera on the back (with flash and 5x digital zoom).


The full keyboard and the innovative trackball navigation system (placed above the keyboard) makes accessing your data and writing email a breeze.

The Curve is fashioned in a liquid silver finish with chrome highlights and subtly curving corners. Measuring 4.2 x 2.4 inches, the Curve is just as slim as the Pearl (0.6 inches) and weighs in at 3.9 ounces--just 0.7 ounces heavier than its predecessor. It features a bright 2.5-inch color TFT screen that provides 65,000 colors and a 320 x 240-pixel resolution, and it includes a light-sensing feature that automatically adjusts backlighting for indoor, outdoor and dark environments. Like the BlackBerry 8800, the Curve includes a trackball navigation system located on the top of the QWERTY keypad, and it also features an integrated spell checker with a customizable dictionary to help maintain accuracy while on the go. It has 64 MB of internal ROM memory, and is expandable using MicroSD memory cards. The battery provides up to 4 hours (240 minutes) of talk time and up to 17 days (408 hours) of standby time.

You can snap vivid photos (though no video) using the 2-megapixel camera on the back of the Curve, which also features a 5x digital zoom, built-in flash, self-portrait mirror and full screen viewfinder. It can capture images in up to three picture quality and size resolutions that can be shared instantly by email, MMS or BlackBerry Messenger, or even uploaded to your Flickr account with the Yahoo! Go service. Photos can also be immediately set as a unique caller ID or Home Screen image. You can edit photos and create albums within the Curve using the PhotoSuite application. Pictures can be cropped, rotated and straightened, and flaws can be fixed by removing redeye or changing the brightness, contrast, and saturation levels.

Listen to your favorite music and watch downloaded videos using the included stereo headset, or use an optional wireless headphone thanks to the Curve's support for the Bluetooth stereo audio profile (A2DP/AVRCP). The Curve is compatible with a wide variety of file formats, including MP3, WMA and AAC/AAC+/eAAC+ audio and WMV, MPEG4 and H.263 video. Dedicated volume controls are conveniently located on the side of the handset. You can also subscribe to the AT&T Music service, which includes access to online subscription music content from eMusic, XM Satellite Radio and more.

With the Voice-Activated Dialing (VAD) feature, you can initiate a call just by telling the Curve who to call from your contact list--either via the integrated speakerphone or using an optional Bluetooth wireless headset. Other advanced phone features include advanced sound technology that cancels out background noise and echo, dedicated volume and mute keys, and the ability to customize the Curve with polyphonic and MP3 ringtones.

Though it doesn't come with an integrated GPS receiver, you can add an optional Bluetooth-enabled receiver to take advantage of the BlackBerry Maps application. Check maps for fast turn-by-turn directions virtually anywhere--simply click on an address in your address book, type it or paste one in.

Staying Connected
With BlackBerry's push email technology, your email will find you without having to initiate a connection. BlackBerry devices are designed to remain on and continuously connected to the wireless network, notifying you as new email arrives. In addition to the text, you can also receive and view attachments in a wide range of popular file formats, including Microsoft Office, Corel WordPerfect, and Adobe PDF.

Browse the web with the integrated, full-featured browser, which quickly and efficiently displays HTML pages as well as enables you to set up RSS feeds to stay connected to up-to-the-minute news and blog posts. And keep up with your contacts using a variety of instant message (IM) networks, including the integrated Blackberry Messenger as well as downloadable clients for Google Talk, Yahoo! Messenger, and Lotus Sametime.

5 out of 5 stars Great for E-mail.......2007-07-09

I upgraded from a Blackberry 7105t to the Curve 8300. I love the new functionality and full keyboard. The only drawback is that my Plantronics headset with a 2.5 mm plug does not fit in the Blackberry's 3.5 mm plug.

5 out of 5 stars Love it!.......2007-07-09

My first time as a Blackberry user and I'm not disappointed -- this model is sleek, easy to use and fun! It does all I need it to do in terms of email functionality and as a cell phone. I have heard others complain of other blackberry models problems with attachment viewing or using it as a phone. This one does both and more! I can view attachments with ease and using it as my cell is very easy. Its slim design makes it look and act like a cell more so than other BB models.

The screen resolution is awesome and the camera makes it a very fun tool. Highly recommend this model!!

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Follow Up to 8700 Series.......2007-07-08

The Blackberry 8300 represents everything that the 8700 was and was missing. The addition of the camera, flash, memory card slot and 4.2 OS make this blackberry the ultimate enterprise phone. It's an awesome phone.

5 out of 5 stars Best Business PHONE out there.......2007-07-01

Blackberry is the most popular business PHONE out there -- for good reasons. They work! And the interface is straight forward to use with the side "wheel" acting like the mouse on your computer.

While Blackberry hasn't always excelled when it comes to being a cell phone -- it evolved from a PDA into a cellphone -- it has consistently improved it's Voice capabilities. With the 8300, the phone capabilities have clearly caught up with other phones that "morphed" into PDAs. The voice reception and sound quality is very solid and with AT&Ts service, I rarely have dropped calls. (I originally was a cingular subscriber and when AT&T took over, I have not experienced any decrease in the level of service). You can use it without a headset which feels a bit clunky -- but when you lose bluetooth headsets at the rate I do, it is nice to know that when all else fails, it is very functional by itself.

As a PDA -- this is where Blackberry really outshines its competition. It is the most widely supported Enterprise-wide email. It integrates with Outlook which is pretty much a necessity if you live in the corporate world. Now with the addition of GPS, Blackberry solidify's it's desire to be a "grownup" phone/device.

To me, a PDA/Phone should help you get through your day. It should tell you where you need to be next. Help you get there. Tell people if you aren't going to be there. Keep in touch via email when you are there.

I don't need it to play music -- I've got my car stereo for that. I don't need it to take pictures. When I'm at work, there is very little I want to take pictures of -- certainly not my coworkers :-O. When I'm waiting in a doctors office -- the browser is adequate to kill some time though I generally plan ahead and bring an old-fashioned analog book -- you know the type -- the one with pages and real ink on it. If you have a notebook, this phone also makes a pretty handy wireless modem -- though it is rather slow. That way, you don't have to worry about where the nearest Starbucks is to connect to the internet.

So I guess it boils down to what do you want your phone to do. If you want it to be a phone and be straightforward to use, then Blackberry is the perfect device. It will keep you connected to home, office and places in between, Blackberry 8300 is what will serve you best.

5 out of 5 stars MY FIRST BLACKBERRY.......2007-06-29

I've had a number of PDA style phones and was never happy till I got this new BB 8300. Slim, light, excellent screen & battery life, very easy to use. Surprising picture quality from the built-in camera too. GPS and WiFi would make it perfect however.

Reflecting the design language of the super-slim RAZR line of handsets, the KRZR K1 exudes pure luxury with clean lines, precision detailing, and premium materials shrouded within a distinctive metallic gloss front finish. A 1.9-inch color screen on the inside of the flip brings images and videos to life, while a small supplementary color display on the outside cover keeps tabs on your incoming call information, and more.

Lastly, a mini USB port is provided for data synchronization.

Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars sync software will wipe out contacts on your computer.......2007-07-09

The phone is reasonably good, assuming you don't mind it crashing once or twice per day. If you need to sync with Microsoft Outlook, however, you need to buy software separately for about $40. It will take an hour or so to download. After a couple of syncs, you will find that a lot of information has been lost on your computer. The phone, for example, cannot deal with a contact that has just a business name and no person's name. First the contacts show up as headless zombies on the phone. Then the company name gets wiped out from Outlook on your computer.

4 out of 5 stars Stylish and functional but slow.......2007-07-04

I am coming from a Razr and the Krazr is a great phone, no doubt. The size is the main attraction. Fits easily in your pocket without a bulky case. Screen is a bit small and the menus are slow. The quality also does not match the Razr, it is not as clear or toned. The micro SD card is a great feature and the mp3 player is huge. It also takes pretty good pictures. I would recommend this to anyone.

2 out of 5 stars Too bad.......2007-06-27

I was excited about the style and sleekness...

Unfortunately, the quality doesn't match up.

The messaging is screwy. It isn't very reliable. It doesn't always ring when someones calling even though you're in range.

Plus, I dropped it once and the front is cracked! I don't know about you, but i need a strong phone that can take a little beating.

Would NEVER get this phone again.

5 out of 5 stars Good Stuff.......2007-06-25

Not much to say except I love this phone... can't imagine how I got by without it.

2 out of 5 stars Lame Duck!.......2007-06-13

This is my first "flip phone" and I still can't get the hang of opening this phone with one hand. It's always full of fingerprints which ruins the visual appeal of the glass face. I find that the keypad can't be done just by feel and the darn keypad backlight needs the keypad pushed to come back on but also when to push the mystery button it also tries to perform that function. Call quality is fine but doesn't do much else. Camera and ringtones are mediocre and no free games! Also kinda heavy but I do like the speakerphone.

Amazon.com Product Description

Providing a complete multimedia experience in a thin and elegant clamshell design, The Nokia N75 brings all the latest cell phone media and calling capabilities to the table while still incorporating Nokia's renowned ease of use. As the first Nokia phone released with Cingular to boast 3G capabilities, the N75 lives up to high expectations with included features such as S60 smartphone OS software, a full Web browser, a bright and colorful QVGA main display, external camera and music controls, a 2.0-megapixel camera, USB mass storage capabilities, Bluetooth, a memory card slot, and more. Simply put, it's the perfect companion to Cingular Wireless service.



Classic Nokia craftsmanship with the power of the Symbian smartphone operating system.


A gorgeous secondary display keeps tabs on vital things, such as your music. View larger.


And a 2.0-megapixel camera graces the rear. View larger.
Design
Audiophiles will love the N75's generous 40 MB of internal memory storage and memory card slot capabilities. The generously sized, 240 x 320 internal screen supports over 16-million colors, while a sharp and crisp outer screen sports a 128 x 160, 260,000 full color resolution. Just below the outer screen you'll find convenient media control keys--a great way to flip through your favorite tracks without ever needing to open the phone. Flipping open the phone reveals a traditional looking 5-way navigation button and backlit keypad that collectively controls all the phone's calling functions and most media functions. Turning the clamshell over reveals its advanced camera lens and flash. Meanwhile, the memory card slot resides on the phone's left side and volume control keys can be found on the right side. Lastly, high-speed data transfer to and from the device is supported by the N75's USB 2.0-compatible "Pop-Port."

Calling Features
The N75's address book is only limited by the amount of available memory, and it can store multiple phone numbers, as well as physical and email addresses. Meanwhile, the phone's built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear. Polyphonic ringtones are included, as is a vibrating alert, and you can use your favorite music as ringtones. Ringer IDs let you assign specific ringtones to particular callers, while picture ID technology lets you similarly assign images or pictures to callers. More ringers can be downloaded from Cingular's MEdia Net service. In addition to speaker-independent voice recognition dialing, the phone also features technology that lets you control menu functions with your voice. Lastly, the phone's Bluetooth connectivity means that your favorite Bluetooth headset is fully compatible.

Messaging, Internet and Tools
Getting on the Internet is easy with the N75. The highly intuitive Nokia Web browser with Mini Map delivers desired Web pages with their original design directly to the phones high-resolution color display. Furthermore, the browser enables RSS feeds, so users can subscribe to their favorite Web sites and receive regular updates. Keeping in touch with friends is just as easy as from your home computer, but the Nokia N75 is always with you--just follow simple set-up prompts to access an existing compatible email account or standard SMS and MMS features. Designed to work on Cingular's 3G, EDGE and GSM networks, the Nokia N75 provides a fantastic Web browsing experience at blazing fast speeds--ideal for both leisure and business applications.

And don't forget, because the N75 is a Symbian smartphone, it supports opening and editing of those important attachments--documents, spreadsheets, PDFs, and more.

The N75 supports PC synchronization via USB or Bluetooth, which means you can manage and synchronize contacts, calendar and other data with your PC. Nokia's PC Suite application makes this process a breeze. You can also use Bluetooth to connect a wireless keyboard for efficient text entry. A number of handy software tools are bundled with the N75 including a voice memo recorder, a calculator, a calendar, a to-do list, and an alarm clock. On top of all that, a wide range of applications are available for Symbian devices like the N75.

Imaging and Entertainment
This is where the real fun begins. A mere click of the dedicated camera key on the Nokia N75 results in a sharp, ready to print 2.0-megapixel (1600 x 1200 pixels) photos. With a 16x digital zoom, an integrated flash LED, you can expect excellent quality from the photos taken. This entertainment device doubles as a mini TV screen, too, making it an ideal choice for optimized viewing of streaming and downloaded video clips. Featuring MPEG-4 video capture and playback in landscape mode, the Nokia N75 delivers an instant video experience with audio recording. With internal memory of up to 40 MB, which can be further expanded with an optional microSD card of up to 2 GB, the N75 allows you to capture up to 500 minutes of high quality video or close to 2500 2.0-megapixel photos. Additionally, once you've got all the pictures you want on your memory card, you can connect the phone directly to any PictBridge-compatible printer for instantaneous printing right from the phone.

The Nokia N75 music experience excels even with the device closed. The digital music player has easy to use controls on the cover of the device, and the reflective 1.36-inch color cover display guides you to your music, which is always just a button press away. Supporting a multitude of different formats, including MP3, M4A, AAC, eAAC+ and WMA, the advanced digital music player includes an equalizer, playlist, shuffle, and repeat features for a direct connection to compatible online music services. When you connect the Nokia N75 to your compatible PC, a mere tap on the music key acts as an instant link to music stored. The PC-mobile synchronization redirects your favorite tunes straight to the Nokia N75, which can store up to 1,500 individual tracks on an optional 2 GB microSD card. In addition to playing downloaded music and ripped CDs, the Nokia N75 also includes a stereo FM radio, allowing you to listen to your favorite talk or music radio stations through your compatible headphones or through the integrated 3D stereo speakers.

UMTS Wireless Broadband Coverage
Learn More about where UMTS coverage is offered.

Warning: If you want to enjoy the full audio and video capabilities of your UMTS phone, please select a MEdia Max service plan option during checkout. If you do not sign up for a MEdia Max service plan option, you will be paying per KB when you use the over-the-air UMTS audio and video features on your phone (upwards of $10 per minute).

Vital Statistics
The Nokia N75 weighs 4.36 ounces and measures 3.74 x 2.05 x 0.80 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 4.17 hours of digital talk time, and up to 200 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the 3G/WCDMA 850/1900 MHz and EDGE/GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz frequencies. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Great Phone ......But................2007-06-27

I waited for this phone for a long time and finaly it came out. Just about everthing is greath with the phone all of the apps and features are great. The olny real downside is the battery life if nokia just fixes that problem then this phone will easly be a 5. Oh and one more thing, if you have sideburns WATCH OUT! Your hair will get caught between the internal display and the frame around it. I just order some screen protectors and hopefully that will close the gap.

3 out of 5 stars N75 -- Unfulfilled Potential.......2007-06-26

I really had high hopes for this phone, but was ultimately disappointed. I have been a loyal Nokia guy for years and looked forward to my first smartphone. More than that I wanted a combo phone/music player and the N75 seemed to fit the bill. I was skeptical about going from candy bar to flip phone, but I figured so long as I could voice dial (you can) and answer (you can't) without opening the phone, that would be fine.

But, in the end, this phone failed because of shortcomings of the music player implementation and poor battery life. Sadly, I will be looking for another phone.

DESIGN:
Pros:
+ Gorgeous displays in and out.
+ Outside display seems to have all the right info (especially when using the music player).
+ Great number keypad with large keys and excellent tactile feel.
Cons:
+ Navigation keys are too flat. I often hit the wrong key sending myself off to distant parts of the OS or canceling out in the middle of a task. After a while I got this down and this complaint faded.
+ Battery cover held in place by hair trigger release. Cover often came off when I pulled the phone from my pocket

MENUS and O/S:
Pros:
+ Symbian 60 OS opens up a world of possibilities - more than I had a chance to really sample.
+ Highly customizable menus enabled through obtuse menu trees.
Cons:
+ Power hungry OS.

PHONE:
Pro's:
+ Great call quality, great speaker phone, both with plenty of volume.
+ Can make calls with the cover closed using voice dialing.
Cons:
+ Can't answer the phone with the cover closed - soft keys are available to silence or decline the call, but not to answer on speakerphone. What a shame because I can do this on my wife's Nokia 6126 and this makes a flip phone much more convenient.
+ Easily paired up with bluetooth headset (but NOT stereo bluetooth)

CAMERA:
Pros:
+ Take pictures with phone open or closed, includes a flash. Serviceable image management on the phone (delete, view, etc)
Cons:
+ Shutteer laaaag, mediocre image quality for 2 mp camera.

MUSIC PLAYER:
Pros:
+ Really nice music player app with great controls.
+ Sounds pretty good on phone's little speakers.
+ Controls on outside cover are great.
+ Includes an equalizer.

Cons (the dealbreakers for me):
+ NO STEREO BLUETOOTH - I know that this advertised on the web site, but it is a misprint as confirmed by calls to Cingular and Nokia. Nokia says the required A2DP profile will be available in a firmware update, but they won't tell you when.
+ No 3.5 mm headset jack. You have to deal with Nokia's proprietary POP port, which takes up 1/3 of the left side of the phone and requires an adapter to work a 3.5mm headset. The POP cord/adapter is difficult to insert correctly and is aptly named POP port because of how easily it pops out -- I have lots of Nokia experience here.
+ Nokia Music Manager 2.0 PC software for transferring music crashed often in XP and did not recognize memory on my phone (tried two different brands of sd cards) Thankfully the included Windows Media Player driver worked well and transfers went smoothly with both cards.

BATTERY LIFE: (more dealbreakers)
Very poor; phone gobbles power like a Hummer towing a tank. Combo of small battery and hungry O/S and displays kills batteries fast. I really couldn't get more than 1 ½ hrs of talk time a day out of this, and that's without a bluetooth headset. Yes, I followed all the web advice about setting data to "as needed" setting. If you really want to use this as a smart phone: email, web, PIM and phone, then you better carry spare batteries.

4 out of 5 stars My Two Cents Worth.......2007-06-15

I had the N75 about two weeks and here is my report:
o I find the loose-fitting lid an irritant. Maybe other(')s don't.
o Mine doesn't make any funny internal sounds.
o Mine doesn't get hot.
o Mine doesn't drop calls.
o No stero bluetooth.
o Mine seems to do a good job of voice recognition.
o It bluetooths to my Moto H500 quickly, and the voice recognition works
fine there also.
o The surface does soak up finger prints.
o The display screens are spectacular.
o I like the large buttons on the key pad.
o Large screen, large buttons = large phone, I guess.
o The battery goes flat pretty fast (one day), but I'm constantly
playing with the phone. Maybe when the newness wears off, It'll
do better.
o The pop-port is a pain; also, they should have put it on the top
or bottom.
o Transferring pictures, music and application using the pop-port
is a breeze. It's quicker than screwing with the microSD.
o Speaker are loud enough.
o Being able to load different application is neat.
o The pictures seem plenty sharp for a 2 Mega-pixel. If you blow them
up, they become pixelated (see submitted pictures).
o I'm going to keep it and hope for a battery solution, or learn to
live with it.

5 out of 5 stars Best 3g Phone AT&T has to offer.......2007-06-12

The first thing you should do when you get this phone is change the packet data from "when available" to "when needed".
This is done by going to settings-->config-->connection-->packet data
This will solve the battery complaints posted by others. I can get ~2.5 days on a single charge.

I have had 3 long weeks to use and abuse the features of this phone.

Size wise: If you have a problem putting this phone in your pocket, get some looser fitting pants. People are probably seeing more than your phone bulging if this is the case.

Buttons: The whole keypad is spacious including the D-pad. I have large hands and find the tactility of the buttons to be high and are very easy for texting. The keypad buttons even tilt a little and make it easy to slide your hand around during fast texting/e-mailing.

Camera: Not a strong point. In some situations there is a green tint to the photos. The camera works best outside in sunlight and will produce pictures acceptable for a 5x7 with no green tint.

Operating system: Strong point of this phone big time. The Symbian S60 OS is the most customizable OS I have ever seen. Honestly, if there is something you want to customize you can probably do it. It may take a few days to get used to Symbian S60 but after that you won't look back. The availability of 3rd party programs is endless. I recommend Smart2go & Handy Alarm. Don't tell AT&T but this is actually a smartphone and has all the PIM features you need. Syncs with Outlook much easier/faster than Activesync and Windows mobile. It is also very easy to setup your e-mail accounts on the phone.

Media features: A pop-port to 3.5 or 2.5mm headphone jack is available online for $5-8, or Nokia's version for a bit more. It is worth the investment because the media player + a 2gb MicroSD has replaced my iPod nano. AT&T left Nokia's Music player on the phone and it is the best phone media player I have ever used. The built in speakers are loud, I mean insanely loud. I can turn it to 11 and it will drown out the TV and hurt my ears from 5 feet away. Once adjusting the EQ the sound quality improves. They are slighty tinny but not as bad as you expect.

Screens: Both screens are amazing. The inside screen is very crisp and does not wash out in direct sunlight. The outside is very functional and often times allows me to not flip open the phone for a lot of features.

Web: Use Nokia's web browser and not the Media Net one. It is a full feature browser and displays webpages just like a computer. It does not go to the mobile phone web but the actual web. Very amazing and far superior to Mobile IE.

Call Quality: Very clear and have yet to drop a call. I found myself calling people just to hear the call quality the first few days. I couldn't believe the clarity. Speakerphone is very loud via those little speakers on the back.

I would recommend this phone for anyone looking for a phone with some PDA functionality. The multimedia features just add to the functionality of the Symbian OS.

Every phone has its flaws and I find this phone to possess very few after fixing the battery issue and customizing it a bit.

Amazon.com Product Description

The award-winning Cingular 8525 3G Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0-based Pocket PC phone, with its compact size and ultimate connectivity, is truly the complete mobile office solution. Roam anywhere in the world and use the phone's high speed Internet access, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi capabilities. The 8525 gives you more control than ever over the way you work.

The Cingular 8525 lets you do things you'd typically need a PC to do, like email, text messaging, instant messaging and Web browsing--all from one integrated device. What's more, the phone's software is designed to sync seamlessly with email, contacts, and calendar information on your PC. The 8525 also offers great mobile music and video options, thanks to Windows Media Player. Other design features include a unique slide-out QWERTY keyboard that makes messaging, note-taking, and other writing tasks a breeze.

Design
Under the hood, the 8525 features 128MB of embedded memory and 64MB RAM, running on a 400 MHz Samsung processor. Up front, the 240 x 320 LCD touch-screen supports over 65,000 colors, while the rear of the device houses a 2.0 megapixel camera. The design of the 8525 is clean and uncluttered, with just a few buttons for mail, Internet Explorer, and contextual menus. Meanwhile, call answer and end buttons surround a five-way toggle that allows you to navigate and control the Windows Mobile interface. As mentioned, a full QWERTY keyboard cleverly slides out from underneath the screen. This allows you to hold the device horizontally, and the screen is automatically placed in landscape mode when you're using the keyboard. A side scroll wheel is conveniently tucked away on the side, making navigation when accessing the music player and other various applications a cinch when needed. A mini-SD memory expansion card slot is provided, as is an infrared port and support for a stereo Bluetooth headset. A mini-USB port is also included for wired data transfers and charging.

Calling and PDA Features
The 8525's phone and PDA functions are designed to provide an integrated, seamless experience. A single main screen summarizes all the important information you need to make it through the day. Here you'll get message notification, upcoming appointments, dialing functions, tasks, and more all in one spot.

As a phone, the 8525 features all the functionality folks expect from a cell phone, including a handsfree speakerphone, polyphonic ringtones, a vibrate mode, and picture and ringer ID. The unit comes stock with preloaded unique ringtones, while more ringtones can be downloaded from Cingular Wireless' MEdia Net service.

Microsoft Office Outlook Mobile combines email, calendar, contacts, tasks, and notes into a single application that seamlessly integrates with the 8525's phone functions. Meanwhile, headsets, car kits, and other wireless peripherals can also be paired with the unit via Bluetooth.

Staying productive on the road is made possible by the Microsoft Office Mobile suite, which includes Word Mobile, Excel Mobile, and PowerPoint Mobile. Meanwhile, the File Explorer application makes it easy to browse the files on your 8525.

Messaging and Internet
With the 8525, you can surf the Web with the bundled Internet Explorer application, or use MSN messenger to stay in contact via instant messaging. Plus, the inclusion of Wi-Fi capability in the 8525 allows you to surf the Web or check your email at blazing speeds when you're connected to a Wi-Fi network. No Wi-Fi network available? No worries; the 8525 is compatible with the latest generation of UMTS/HSDPA 3G data networks. With UMTS and HSDPA, you'll be streaming and downloading at speeds so fast your head will spin. And lastly, robust SMS and MMS functionality is built into the Windows Mobile interface.

Getting on the Internet with your laptop or PDA is easy with the 8525. When used with a Cingular data plan and the phone's Bluetooth or USB data capability, the phone can be used as a wireless modem for laptops and PDAs.

One of the most important tools bundled with the 8525 is Microsoft ActiveSync, which allows you to quickly synchronize your device's tasks, calendars, email, and contacts with your desktop. You also get Exchange ActiveSync, an application that lets you synchronize data with an Exchange server. Syncing can be done via USB, or wirelessly via Bluetooth or infrared.

Imaging and Entertainment
Another great feature of the 8525 is that it supports Windows Media playback right out of the box. With Windows Media Player, you can play streaming and downloaded video and audio content in a variety of formats.

As mentioned, the 8525 can take 2.0 megapixel pictures, and while the camera is great for taking stills, it can also function as a camcorder, allowing you to capture video to the unit's memory. An integrated media application organizes your captured photos and videos. For gamers, the phone supports Java-based and Windows Mobile games, and games are available for download via the Cingular MEdia Net service.

The Cingular 8525 also sports an airplane mode feature, which allows you to safely use the non-wireless functions of the phone (such as music, games or organizer functions) on an airplane during flight.

Customer Reviews:

2 out of 5 stars beware when purchasing this phone........2007-07-04

Talked to at&t about this phone. Was told that b/c i am a customer from the old at&t network, i cannot purchase UNless i give up my number. So there is no number portability with old at&t customers.

Additionally, the notion of incurring a 250$ fee for practically anything makes it an unwise purchase imho. Cannot upgrade or downgrade, or pay a day late......Spend the money on the phone now, or, spend it later when incurring the fee penalty fee.

2 out of 5 stars Do Not Buy This Here!!!.......2007-07-03

I recently purchased this device from Amazon at a price of $199 (w/ 2-yr contract). This phone is very delicate and will not function after only minor contact with minimal moisture. This is apparently a known issue.

So, two months into a 2-yr contract, I need to replace this device. Amazon lists it today @ $124. However, if you need to buy a replacement, Amazon regards it as an "upgrade." Their only option offered was to buy an unlocked version from them for $750! I cannot buy the $124 version unless I set up a whole new service separate from what I just bought two months ago.

AT&T will not touch this since they didn't sell it. They offer a replacement for their full retail price -- $600!

So, if you buy from Amazon, you better lock this thing up in a moisture-proof safe and hope for the best. They'll be no help at all if you ever need a replacement within that 2-yr timeframe.

So, I'm out the original purchase price. I was so upset with AT&T I cancelled my service ($175 fee). Now I'll be getting back-billed by Amazon for $250 for not completing six months of service (but how could I with a broken device and no reasonable option to buy a replacement?). And I still need a new PDA!

5 out of 5 stars Frigid Awesome!.......2007-06-27

I so loved this device, and then to get it at an outandingly great price was even better! The only drawback was that it was apparently on backorder when I purchased it, so the expected delivery date was over a month away. I complained a little along with others and the date was shifted to just over 1 week or so. Overall great procuct!

4 out of 5 stars Good, but a bit pricey.......2007-06-13

I got the 8525 six months ago. It's good, and I'm happy I got it. Having said that. It's expensive, or was. It needs to be rebooted several times a week - seems to freeze on me every other day (the cingular store said, yeah that happens). Works well as a phone, though it is a pain to dial numbers by hand, the keypad is virtual (not sure what you do when you have to dial 911 in a hurry).

The Internet access has been great. We don't get 3G much in DC, and oddly get it more in out of the way places like the Chicago burbs, but even without 3g I've liked the speed of the access. I've used my phone a LOT as a modem for my Mac powerbook laptop and it works great - quite fast in fact. Having said that, you need to scour the Internet for instructions on how to connect the two, but you can find it and eventually it works.

As for the keyboard, I was a bit duped thinking the keyboard would permit me to type like a normal full sized keyboard. I type fast, like 90 words a minute, and I still have to type with two fingers on this keyboard, it's just the way it is. I find that my friends with blackberrys and treos tend to go from zero to 60, in terms of picking up their toys and doing a web search, quicker than me.

Don't get me wrong, it works well, and the wow factor is nice - people admire the phone. Also, I had to cajole Cingular/ATT into unlocking the phone for me - they refused at the store, but the nice lady on the phone did it for free when I called from Europe and begged. I bought a French SIM card and it worked great in the phone.

You'll hear varying stories on whether ATT can still charge you for accessing free wifi in Europe while still having your American SIM card in the phone. My tech friends say this is impossible. But Cingular claims it's true, as did the helpful lady on the phone who actually seemed to know her tech stuff. To be safe, remove the American SIm card if you're abroad and surfing the net with this thing - oh yeah, it really does work with foreign wifi, even without the sim card. Pretty cool.

Oh one more thing, as with many phones, I find the volume is just too low during calls. It's especially a problem when I download movies or tv shows from my computer (I use a PSP video 9 to shrink the movies and shows to the right size, then just sync the computer with the phone - for Mac users, you have to use Missing Sync and it doesn't always work, it's kind of weird, sometimes it syncs sometimes it doesn't). Anyway, yes you can watch tv shows and stuff on here, but the volume is very low and when sitting on a plan, forget it - I could not hear my shows using the headsets. I'm going to buy an adaptor so I can try different headsets on this. Oh yeah, buy an extra storage card, I got like 2 gigs for 50 bucks or something, it's worth it. I'd read the 4 gig cards weren't working as well with this phone, maybe that's fixed now. I think that's it.

Slingbox IS compatible with this phone, and it's cool as hell, I have it, and it works - but again, the volume issue if you're anywhere even vaguely loud (having said that, i was on jury duty and sitting in the courthouse in a crowded room and could hear my shows fine through the cheap earphones). So, all in all, I'm satisfied, it's cool, it works. I've never owned another smartphone or treo or anything, so have nothing to compare to. I'll consider switching to an iPhone in a year when that shakes out more. PS The size doesn't bother me, I have it in my pocket all the time, in jeans or a suit it's fine in your pants. In shorts, yeah it starts to get a bit big, but again, it's really not as large as it looks.

The camera sucks. It auto sharpens all the photos horribly - I've tried to stop it, you can't, it just does. REally really really bad photos - and I take photos for a living, but also take them for fun, you won't be using this phone for photography, trust me, it's bad. The video isn't bad however, I just don't have a reason to use it.

5 out of 5 stars Cingular 8525 exceeded my expectations!.......2007-06-02

After reading many of the reviews, I was shocked that the 8525 was far better than I expected. I took the time to go through the online tutorial. In addition the DVD that was included was self explainatory. The battery life was better than I was led to believe, especially after the push to talk upgrade. You have more than one way to access info. i.e contacts, task, photos, etc. This is my first smartphone. I hope you enjoy this product as much as I do.

2 out of 5 stars Poor Quality Phone.......2007-07-06

In the past, I've been happy with AT&T phones, but this phone is really poor quality. I have to dial a phone number three or four times before it actually connects (this does not happen on any other phones in my house), and there is quite a bit of static heard during calls. I bought a hands-free plug-in ear piece to go with this, and the connection is horrible - it cuts out all the time! In general, I am very disappointed with this product. Spend a little extra money and get a better phone!

4 out of 5 stars good phone for the price.......2007-06-27

paid about $30 for this phone. it does what it's supposed to. got good range and all. overall, not bad.

5 out of 5 stars 38wdeez.......2007-06-20

This basic little cordless phone is just what we needed in a cordless phone. All of our previous cordless purchases were 3 to 4 times the cost of this durable AT&T basic model. We chose this unit based on C/R ratings and haven't been dissapointed. It gives clear calls and stands up to abuse well while still maintaining its simple, stylish appearance in our home. Why pay more for technology and features you rarely use anyway, unless you are a sucker for marketing ploys.

4 out of 5 stars Pretty good, except. . ........2007-06-12

I got this phone as a Christmas gift this past Christmas, so it's been about all of 6 months now. It is a pretty good phone. The sound quality is good and I haven't had the battery die out once yet, but I am shopping around for another. For the past month or so, when I'm talking to someone on the phone, the sound will just cut out. The other person can hear me, but I can't hear them. I have to hit the antenna to try and get the sound to come back. It is really annoying. If it weren't for that problem, it would be a great phone. Maybe we just have a bad one, I don't know.

5 out of 5 stars Great value of money........2007-05-29

Purchased this cordless after good research. This is only under $25 phone.
with handset speaker. Voice quality is awesome and it works great with my sunrocket voip. No problem so far...

Amazon.com Product Description

Featuring the perfect blend of broadband-like speed, dynamic multimedia capabilities, and cutting-edge design, the MOTO RAZR V3xx is the first Motorola handset to ship with High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) and EDGE technology. The iconic RAZR design is still here, as is the all-metal construction, this time, though, the phone boasts an updated and streamlined design, enhanced media capabilities, a 1.30-megapixel camera, a hot-swappable MicroSD memory card slot, and more. Simply put, the V3xx is the perfect combination of performance and style, and the perfect complement to Cingular service.



Cingular, Motorola, and HSDPA high-speed data: the perfect combination.
Design
At .58 inches thick, the RAZR V3xx is virtually the same thickness as the original RAZR. And like the original RAZR, the phone's design takes the standard clamshell form factor to the next level with an impressive, fully-anodized aluminum construction, and 60 MB of internal memory. A large 240 x 320 color display with over 262,000 colors dominates the inside of the top cover, while the outside cover of the handset sports a supplementary 96 x 80 full-color display that can display caller ID pictures, time, call information, battery and signal strength, and more. The integrated VGA and 1.30-megapixel digital camera is housed above this display. Use the VGA camera for live two-way video calls at up to 15 frames per second. Up/down buttons are placed on the left side for volume control, as well as the camera button and mini-USB port.

Most of the phone's features and on-screen menus are controlled by a five-way center button on the handset's backlit control pad, which is precision cut from a single sheet of nickel-plated copper alloy. A mini-USB port is provided, which, while useful for fast data transfer, can also be used with compatible USB stereo headsets. Note that the phone does not have a standard 2.5mm headset jack. Lastly, a charging port is placed on the bottom of the phone, and an unobtrusive internal antenna is safely tucked away, keeping the phone's design compact and portable.

Calling Features
The RAZR V3xx's internal phone book can hold up to 1000 contacts while the phone's picture ID system allows you to assign pictures to your most common callers. The phone also supports polyphonic ringtones as well as MP3 ringers, allowing you to use portions of your favorite songs to alert you to incoming calls. For times when you want to be discreet, there's a vibrating alert. A built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear while voice activated dialing makes calling your friends, family and associates as easy as saying their names. Speaker-independent technology allows any speaker to dial numbers with the voice dialing system. And because the RAZR V3xx is Bluetooth enabled, wireless headsets for calling, and even wireless stereo headsets for music can be configured with the phone for total handsfree operation.

Messaging, Internet, and Tools
The RAZR V3xx is a messaging and wireless Internet powerhouse. With HSDPA and EDGE technology, the RAZR V3xx delivers broadband-like speeds for downloading, Web browsing, and data exchange. Leveraging these advanced capabilities, the RAZR V3xx allows for live two-way video calls at up to 15 frames per second, over the air music and video downloads, direct media streaming, and more.

Support is built in for sending and receiving pictures, text, graphics, sound and video via messages. When used in combination with the phone's built-in still and video camera, MMS opens up a whole new world of messaging fun. And because UMTS and HSDPA support built right into the phone, you'll be streaming and downloading at speeds so fast your head will spin. Used in combination with one of Cingular's MEdia Max plans that supports Cingular Video (additional Cingular charges apply), the V3xx will allow you to play high-quality news clips, sports clips, weather clips, and more--right on your phone. And with Cingular's exclusive partnership with HBO Mobile and HBO Family Mobile, you'll never be at a loss for something good to watch.

There's also a built-in web browser for MEdia Net downloads and mobile web browsing. Cingular's MEdia Net service lets you do more than just stream videos--it lets you receive and send emails, read news headlines, get weather updates, download games and ringtones, and more. iTap text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit--a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.

Getting on the Internet is easy with the V3xx. When used with a Cingular data plan and the phone's Bluetooth or USB data capability, the phone can be used as a wireless modem for laptops and PDAs.

A number of handy software tools are bundled with the V3xx including a calculator with currency converter, a calendar and an alarm clock. The phone can also be used with Motorola's Mobile Phone Tools PC application to manage and synchronize contacts, calendar and other data with your PC. The phone also sports an airplane mode feature, which allows the user to safely use the non-wireless functions of a phone (such as music, games, or organizer functions) on an airplane during flight.

Imaging and Entertainment
The RAZR V3xx's integrated 1.3-megapixel camera and VGA video camera bridges the gap between phones and quality digital cameras. Animated screensavers and full screen wallpapers are supported too, so you can set up the RAZR V3xx to suit your tastes. Lastly, the phone supports java-based games and applications.

The RAZR V3xx is a serious music phone. When the feeling strikes you, jam out to your favorite music on the unit's advanced MP3 player. The phone sports a microSD/TransFlash memory card slot, so you can load up all your favorite music and bring it with you (memory cards sold separately). And because the phone supports MobiTV and MobiRadio, in addition to streaming video and TV, you can listen to your favorite radio station via the supported digital radio service--great for times when you feel like listening to new music (additional Cingular charges apply).

UMTS Wireless Broadband Coverage

Warning: If you want to enjoy the full audio and video capabilities of your UMTS phone, please select a MEdia Max service plan option during checkout.

Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 3.17 hours of digital talk time, and up to 330 hours of digital standby time.

I think the Motorola v3xx is a nice phone. It performs the basic functions of a phone pretty well which is to make and receive calls. I haven't explored the other features much. I've been using it for about a month and didn't find any problems with it. Reception and battery life are good.

I was talked into this phone when I almost used my old Motorola as a hockey puck when it "spontaneously died" along with 2 other Cingular customers who also had the Motorola V557- Our phones just powered off and would not power on, and we were all within a month of contract end and planning to go to Nextel. However, the phone has performed well. Battery life could be more like I was led to expect, but it is ok. It charges best if turned off, and the camera (not a critical accessory) is phenomenal, sometimes outperforming my wife's digital. However my carrier is still big disappointment.

3 out of 5 stars had high hopes.......2007-06-19

I really had high hopes for this phone. Previously I had a cingular v3 for 2 years and couldn't have been happier with that phone. So, in looking for a new phone, naturally I went with the v3xx because of the 3g network, new screen, sd slot, and all the new features. Everything was great with the phone, screen is awesome, data transfer is quick, phone looks great, but I could not get over the most important thing in a phone: call quality.

Experienced terrible reception with this phone, numerous dropped calls, and being in downtown L.A., I'm not sure of the reason. I'm on my second unit and still experienced the same issues. Dropped calls + voice distortion to the point where i was asking people to repeat certain words several times a minute. I suspect it mostly occured when the phone was switching from 3G to Edge, or vice versa as I experienced the worst reception and call quality when I noticed the network icon switching back and forth. Needless to say, I'll be returing this to amazon, perhaps looking to another carrier and settling with edge network, instead of 3g. I see other people are completely happy with this phone, so I guess reception and phone quality greatly varies, and maybe my gripe is more with the network than the phone as everything else with the phone was excellent.

3 out of 5 stars the speaker phone is not that great..........2007-06-18

The phone's case on the back did not close properly...

3 out of 5 stars Cool design with some "need to get used to" features.......2007-06-11

I definitely like the phone for it's slender design and features. the only thing that gets me is getting used to actually using the phone. trying to make sense of call history, or to quickly access some of your items can be trying for someone who is not as tech savvy with cell phones. i enjoy the phone and it does what it supposed to do very well... make and receive calls!
clear audio quality, no dropped calls so far and a HUGE screen to see things. after reading the guide and sitting down with the phone for an hour or two and re-programming it,... it's a lot more user-friendly. it's as good as any other phone for text msgs.
good battery life and if looking for accessories, definitely look for a snug holster to avoid this phone from feeling loose in its case. You can also find good accessories at Radioshack.

4 out of 5 stars Very good. Not quite great........2007-07-03

I am NOT an "audiophile", "audio snob" or any kind of self proclaimed expert. I will also say I have used this item for a total of less then one afternoon and have recorded the vast some of 1 side of an older LP.

That out of the way here is my review:

Good: Direct drive, straight forward arangement with wide arange of controlls, well put together (at least on initial inspection), good software package (with a variety of filters, corrections and features for copying, converting and burning).

Bad: Line out switch is under the platter and it has hard wired cables. Why couldn't they bulk head the connections and put the switch next to the connectors?

Unknown: My only attempt to convert vinyl to WAV sounded a little flat. It wasn't bad for a first attempt, and I'm sure with a little tweaking and familiarization with the software my results will improve. I am just not sold on the included ATP-2 stylus. I have ordered a different model with a lighter tracking pressure.

All in all I would definately recomend this item. Unless you spend ALOT more money I don't think you will get a better product. If you are picky about the sound or tracking pressure you may want to buy a different stylus.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent, affordable and very nice turntable.......2007-06-28

I received and hooked up the new AT-PL120S turntable day after Father's day, it's for my father, his old Yamaha turntable finally give up after 20 years, it's straight forward typical setup, the owner manual doesn't help much on setting the the tone arm balance weight and the anti-skid setting, so I have to guess it. This turntable is HEAVY, Well made and have a very nice dust cover.

After listen to few of my dad's favorite LP, this is a worthy replacement. Surprisingly the typical LP pops, click, scratch sound almost gone, the line out level is perfect, it's great output level, the added features over the old one was the pilot light for the tone arm stylus, for under $200 plus free shipping make this turntable a very worthy purchase. I have not use the software yet, we have a Pioneer Elite CD recorder which can copy analog source. Bottom line this is a great unit, great price, solid built, easy to use, we will upgrade the cartridge and stylus later. Highly recommended.


5 out of 5 stars Very nice for the price!.......2007-06-16

I received and hooked up my new AT-PL120S turntable today, everything was very easy. When I picked up the box the first thing I noticed is that this baby is HEAVY and appears to be very well made from solid materials.

This unit is taking the place of my 30 year old Dual 506 belt drive turntable and so far it seems to be a worthy replacement. I use my turntables for listening to LP's, not for DJ purposes but this new turntable looks and performs like it could fit the bill no matter how you used it.

I have not yet used it to transfer LP's to my computer but I excited about the opportunity. All in all I am extremely happy with my Amazon.com purchase; the price was excellent and so is the turntable.

For less than $200 and free shipping the AT-PL120S turntable is a very worthy purchase.

3 out of 5 stars Cheap clone of the Technics sl1200.......2007-06-13

This turntable is not more than you pay for. It is a cheap copy of the Technics sl1200. But it is what I need for listening to my few aging LPs.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent turntable.......2007-06-12

I couldn't be happier. This is a GREAT turntable. I bought it for my teenage son who wanted to rip music from our collection of vinyl. The turntable works great, looks very professional, operates flawlessly and the included software is very easy to use and does a great job. You won't go wrong with this turntable

If you have even a passing interest in Stevie Ray Vaughan's peerless mastery of urban blues guitar, you must own Live at Montreux 1982 & 1985. Spaced almost exactly three years apart, these concerts (60 and 93 minutes, respectively) represent the Texan blues god at his fiery best, with Double Trouble (drummer Chris Layton and bassist Tommy Shannon) laying the solid foundation upon which SRV built a Fender-driven sound as fierce as it was perfectly refined. The '82 show was truly "success in disguise," because despite booing from a festival audience lulled by a day of acoustic blues, and the stunned dejection that SRV felt after persevering through a uncompromising set, this was the turning point in SRV's career, leading to post-show encounters with Jackson Browne and David Bowie, who proved instrumental in bringing Stevie's music to an appreciative global audience.

When Stevie, Chris, and Tommy returned to Switzerland three years later, with organist Reese Wynans adding rich new dimension to the Double Trouble sound, the Montreux crowd was primed for a rip-snorting set, and SRV's jubilant response is a joyous thing to witness. One of SRV's favorite bluesmen, Johnny Copeland, appears for a three-song triumph in a set that's uniformly superior and ecstatically energized. Basic three-camera coverage is all you need, although guitar students--for whom this DVD is a godsend--will surely wish for more emphasis on SRV's picking and fretwork. Recording quality is superb in the Montreux tradition, with 5.1-channel remixes that surpass the original masters. A splendid 23-minute documentary features retrospective interviews with Layton, Shannon, Browne, and John Mayer, and the accompanying booklet includes a heartfelt reminiscence from Bowie. Stevie Ray may be gone, but Live at Montreux ensures that his gold-standard legacy will endure. --Jeff Shannon

5 out of 5 stars Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble - Live at Montreux 1982 & 1985.......2007-05-23

A snapshot into history. His first appearance at Montreux booed and unappreciated. A few short years later at his second appearance, cheered as an icon of Texas blues. In between not only did he become famous but he cleaned up his life and it shows in his personality onstage. Throughout, his music is unmatchable.

5 out of 5 stars The Kind!.......2007-04-04

Great dvd. A must buy for any Stevie fan!I was lucky enough to see him live twice.These two performances brought back great memories.

5 out of 5 stars Superb!.......2007-04-02

I have played these over and over for years. I guess I'll never get tired of them. A few glitches in the 1985 production, but other than that as representative of SRV as we are probably ever going to get. Any fan of SRV or this sort of music has to have these, they are historic. One comment on the booing in 1982. It really reveals what jerks we can all be. If you don't like a performance, like it's too loud for you widdle ears; leave. To sit there and boo a performance like that (or any performance) only tells the world what an ignoramus you are. If the jerks had left that performance, SRV probably would have played on for at least another hour. 40 minutes is pretty short for him. So in the end what they did is rob the rest of us of another hour of that 1982 performance for all time. Thanks! There is a DVD of Buddy Guy at the same festival a couple of decades later (in the Buddy Guy 70 boxed set) where some dufus shouts out "play some real blues" at the end of the performance. Amazing! At least in the Buddy Guy case the crowd got on the heckler.

5 out of 5 stars A Double-Dose of Historic Documentation .......2007-03-19

Stevie Ray Vaughan was a six-string force of nature with his Fender Stratocaster. He was playing small clubs in Texas with drummer Chris Layton and bassist Tommy Shannon in 1982 when someone with connections heard them and declared "you need to play Montreux". Sooo... without a record, a recording contract or any name recognition outside of the handful of people who had heard them playing in Texas, they headed over to Europe where they were booked at the famous Montreux Jazz festival on the same day as several acoustic stars. Stevie and Double Trouble hit the stage with their electrified cyclone and played to a rousing chorus of boos. Stevie, talented as he was, dressed like a cross between a Texas Gunslinger and a New Orleans Pimp, and the crowd reaction ranged between indifference and total hostility. Were they good? Take a listen... the accompanying and extremely informative documentary features interviews with Slater and Layton, along with Jackson Browne, John Mayer, and a few others who knew what happened that day. SRV and DT burned that stage to the ground. They had honed their 3-piece Texas Blues to a fine edge and they unleashed their power on that crowd. The "music fans", too stupid to notice the genius in front of their very eyes, hadn't yet been told by radio disc jockeys who they should like.... so they didn't like SRV - yet. Of course there were musicians there too, though, and the word spread like wildfire through Jackson Browne's band.... and David Bowie.... and soon all the Montreux musicians were down in the musician's lounge listening to the kind of band that makes musicians tell other musicians "come here.... you've just GOT to hear THIS!" (I had the same experience the first time my brother played their first recording - which was made as a result of this very concert.) David Bowie had to figure out a way to get this guitar genius on his CD and in his band. (Listen to Stevie's wailing guitar on "Let's Dance".) Jackson Browne offered the contractless trio the opportunity to record in his studio. They made their way out to California and basically just recorded their live set in the studio. THAT recording became "Texas Flood" and all of a sudden SRV was not an unknown...

Two albums and a keyboardist later, Stevie returned to Montreux in 1985 as a "conquering hero" of sorts and although I would hesitate to say that they sounded better in the '85 concert, it is certainly gratifying to see them received with open-armed enthusiasm. In the '82 concert they only played about 52 minutes. In '85 they turn it on for a hot hour and a half.

Both of those concerts are more than worth a listen - and this fantastic double-disc set includes both concerts, plus the documentary. This is 5-star all the way.

4 out of 5 stars Stevie Ray is sorely needed in today's cookie-cutter music scene.......2007-03-14

Is it just a coincidence that when Stevie Ray Vaughan died in 1990, American music as a whole suddenly seemed to die with him?? Few performers in the last 15 years have possessed the overwhelming firepower and talent that this man had. The 1990's sadly became the decade when real talent and originality became a thing of the past as manufactured pop, rock, and country clones took over the national music scene like a bad disease.

In the first concert presented in this set, we witness a crowd of closed-minded morons mercilessly booing a guy with far more talent than anybody on the charts today could ever hope to have. It was nice to see that at least some in the audience were cheering and applauding in appreciation of SRV's performance, and you gotta love how Stevie Ray and the band totally ignored the boos throughout the entire show and just kept on rockin! It is sad to think that if Vaughan were the opening act for one of today's hot new stars, he would likely receive the same reaction that he got from the Montreux crowd that night in 1982. Would today's pop/metal/rap fans appreciate a guy who only needs "talent" to captivate an audience instead of smoke, lights, mirrors, or half naked girls???

The two concerts on this DVD are significant in SRV's career and are presented with good sound and picture quality, although the far away camera shot during the encore of the 1985 show is disappointing. Both shows consist of solid performances, but neither show truly captures Stevie Ray at his absolute best. The 1982 appearance is probably the best of the two, although Stevie's dynamic stage presence that is evident in other live footage seems a little withheld here. The 1985 show features the expanded Double Trouble line-up with Reese Wynans on keyboards, but Stevie was visibly near the peak of his drug abuse when this concert was filmed, and his performance seems to lack some of the fire and passion that is clearly seen in the 1983 El Mocambo show and the two Austin City Limits appearances.

The segment with blues legend Johnny Copeland is the definite highlight of the 85 concert! Copeland makes the most of his three-song set, holding his own with Stevie Ray in both the guitar and vocal departments. Stevie and Johnny's duet on the down and dirty blues masterpiece "Tin Pan Alley" is probably the best performance on the entire DVD. Copeland's soulful, tortured vocals in the second verse of this song is a lesson in the art of blues singing at its finest! With so many flashy blues-rock guitarists throughout the years, it seems that great blues singing has become a lost art these days. Only the very best blues singers are able to deliver the kind of vocal performance that Johnny Copeland does here. He also cuts loose on some hot solos with Stevie Ray during a rockin' version of "Look at little sister".

Live footage of the great Stevie Ray Vaughan is still pretty rare which makes these two concerts a must-have for any blues fan, even if the El Mocambo show and the Austin City Limits appearances are a little better. We can only hope there are at least one or two more live shows from SRV's short career that will make it to DVD someday.
