The most affordable RIM device with better battery life in the market for now.

Billed as the most affordable BlackBerry device, the new Curve 9220 is the successor to the older, and hugely popular in the market. The new Curve 9220 sports almost an identical size and design as the older 8520, (which is also a well known RIM device), but Curve 9220 has physically very identical and easy to press soft-keys for Call, Menu, Return, and End which is a nice addition, while the old 8520 have very flat soft-keys which were sometime make very hard to press.

As far as looks of the phone go, there�s nothing special to write or discuss about. It�s a signature BlackBerry smartphone, and the one most affordable in price range. 

The BlackBerry Curve 9220�s 1450mAh big battery is rather the best thing about the phone itself. On our testing base, we gets through a 24 hours on a fully charged battery and remains upto 20%. Beside all good things, one very regular feature sorely missed, which is GPS, and also apps with location requirement  are also dispatched.

The Curve 8520 users will find their experience on the Curve 9220 almost heavenly, It actually seems on par with the 9300, and that�s probably also to do with the fact that the 9220 has double the memory specs. Regarding to IN and OUT call quality, this is a pretty standard BlackBerry handheld smartphone with great voice clarity until you drop to about one third signal strength. BlackBerry OS 7.1 feels good overall, but not as polished as some of its competitors.

Do you go after this device? If you want a brand new BlackBerry in a range of your pocket-money, this is it. If you only want BBM and you are not crazy about new apps, stick with the Curve 8520, but if you want GPS and 3G inside your budget, go and get Curve 3G 9300.

What would be future of the smartphone? If you guess there are many operating systems & hundred of new apps developed everyday. But hardware & structure of a smartphone is more important for everyone. As we are talking about future & structure, the Flip design of smartphone supposed to be the future design for smartphone industry. This unique and stylish design have much user friendly features and abilities which takes it to the top. It actually comes with 3 flexible touch screen, a triangular design, and custom Android interface.

Here we are posting some un-official photographs, mentioning the first look and design. So here they are: -

Reasons why it would be the future design for smartphone? see the video below, this video clip can give you a real ideas.

PC Pro [Jul 2012]

Few of HTC�s offerings have threatened the smartphone industry�s top table of late, with its somewhat bland offerings largely overtaken by fancier phones from Samsung and Apple. But HTC�s latest flagship handset, the One X, looks set to take back lost ground.

It isn�t a phone we�d ever accuse of playing safe. The white rear, with its protruding silver camera lens, looks and feels superb, and we can�t fault HTC for build quality either. The One X is sturdy despite its 8.9mm-thick, 130g frame, and while there have been reports of the screen flexing when gripped tightly, that�s very fine indeed. The solid build can be put down to the construction, the One X is milled from a single block of polycarbonate, just like the Nokia Lumia 800.

It�s that screen that steals the show. It�s a 4.7in IPS panel with a resolution of 720 x 1280, that gives a pixel density of 312ppi not for behind the iPhone�s 330ppi and makes for consistently stunning experience. There�s plenty of space for full sized web pages, and text is pin sharp.

It isn�t only the increase in resolution; the quality is great, too. Its 490cd/m² maximum brightness can�t math the iPhone�s 581cd/m², but it�s far ahead of the Samsung Galaxy S II�s 300cd/m², and it�s matched with a contrast ratio of 1138, lending images a real solidity and depth.

Processing power comes from Nvidia�s 1.5GHz quad-core Tegra 3 chip, partnered with 1GB of RAM. Is has 32GB of storage, of which 26GB can be used for data and apps, but there�s no microSD card slot to add more. For communications you get the choice of 3G, 802.11n WiFi and Bluetooth 4, and it has NFC.

The specification makes the One X the most powerful smartphone we�ve tested. Its Quadrant benchmark score of 4927 streaks ahead of the 3460 scored by the Galaxy S II, and it completed the SunSpider benchmark in 2071ms. that�s a third quicker than the Samsung, and just ahead of the iPhone 4S.

No game stretched the HTC�s GPU. High octane shooter Shadowgun ran flawlessly, 3D adventure title Dungeon Defenders was similarly slick, and Reckless Racing 2 also delivered rock solid frame rates. A word of warning, though: while things were fine away from the mains, running  these games while charging saw the handset grow unbearably hot. That aside, battery life was decent, with 60% of the 1800mAh power pack left after the 24 hour rundown test. Just don�t expect such longevity when gaming: a 30 minutes sting during a train commute saw the bar fall by almost a third.

The One X comes with Android 4 onboard, partnered with the latest version of HTC�s Sense UI. HTC has ditched the curved graphics at the bottom of each homescreen, replacing them with square icons, but it looks and functions as well as ever, with the usual line up of handy widgets.

HTC doesn�t bundle Beats branded headphones with this device, but the Beats audio kit inside the One X serves up bass heavy, a good quality sound.

It isn�t all good news, though. The Notification drawer has vanished, and virtually every app has a separate menu button that takes up a 96 pixel chunk across the bottom of the screen.

These are small complaints, however, with the 8 megapixel camera more than making amends. Quality is excellent, with sharp detail and accurate colors, and a flash is included. Shots are taken almost instantly, and there are panorama and burst modes too; the latter takes up to 99 shots as quickly as possible, and even picks the �best� one out for you. The camera also shoots 1080p video and, again, quality is excellent, autofocus is quick to lock on, and detail is extremely sharp.

The best camera & performance result, shown in this video clip.

It�s a fine all round package, then, but it�s impossible to ignore the shadow of Samsung�s impending Galaxy S III, It�s also said to have a 4.7in, 720 x 1280 screen, a 1.5GHz quad-core processor and Ice Cream Sandwich. If past standards are any indication, it may be the phone to beat.

For now, though, no other phone can match the HTC One X. It offers stupendous speed, a stunning screen, and a strong, attractive design, all of which combine to make it the best smartphone on the block. After something of a barren patch it�s good to see HTC back.

Lenovo K800 Medfield Smartphone with 1.6 GHz Intel Medfield Processor with 8 Mega Pixel of HD Camera | PC Supporter Review.

As it is not a first smartphone powered by Intel, the Lenovo 800 Medfield smartphone would still catch your attention. Boasting a 4.5� screen and running off a 1.6 GHz Intel Medfield processor, it features an 8 Mega Pixel camera that offers up ISO 3200. Despite running a modified version of Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) rather than Ice Cream Sandwich, and although this phone will not be seen in SA it still looks like promising foray of Intel, who is strong on the PC processor front but lacking foothold in the smartphone and tablet market. Intel is also receiving support from Motorola, who will be releasing an Intel powered phone in the second half of this year.

The cloud refers to storage at a remote site accessible from the Internet instead of locally on your computer. Backing up data to the cloud is convenient because you can access it from anywhere�

Here are 5 most common questions about smartphones.

How is a Smarphone different from a standard cell phone?

There�s no official definition, but smartphones let you connect to the Internet, manage email, run software (called apps), and often have robust multimedia capabilities to play videos and music and let you take pictures and record video.

What is a �platform,� and why should I care?

A platform is the phone�s operating system (much like Windows is an operating system for PCs) and determines what features the phone has and what apps it runs. Apple�s iOS and Google�s Android are two examples. Because Apple controls both the operating system and production of the phones that use it, upgrading to the latest version of iOS is easy as long as your hardware is fast enough to support it. Android is different because each smartphone manufacturer using it can modify the core operating system and doesn�t always make updates of the latest version available to its customers.

What hardware specifications should I worry about?

The simple answer is to not get hung up on the specs and instead find a phone that does what you need it to do. Does it work with your email? Does it run the programs you want to use? Does it integrate with your existing services such as Netflix? Is it available from a carrier that provides great coverage in your area? Does it have adequate battery life for the type of things you plan to use it for? If the answer to any of those questions is no, it could be the fastest smartphone on the planet and be useless to you.

The said phones, with 1GB of RAM are nice because they can run multiple programs simultaneously more smoothly than can phones with less RAM. Also look for dual-core processors, as they can dramatically boost the speed of apps designed to take advantage of them. Finally, 16GB of memory is plenty for most users who don�t plan to haul enormous music or video libraries around with them, though 32GB or more is better if you plan to use a lot of apps, music, and video.

What�s the difference between 3G and 4G?

There refer to the speed of the cell carrier�s wireless data network. 3G stands for Third Generation standards and 4G for Fourth Generation standards. Each company implements these standards in different ways, so maximum speeds vary. In general, 4G networks let you download data at least 10 times faster than 3G networks do. This is great for nabbing large files or streaming high quality video, although battery life often takes a bit of a hit when 4G is activated.

Some smartphones will let me use the cloud for backup. What does that mean, and should I use that feature?

The cloud refers to storage at a remote site accessible from the Internet instead of locally on your computer. Backing up data to the cloud is convenient because you can access it from anywhere, and most companies employ encryption and backup redundancy to protect your data. If you don�t have an unlimited data plan, set up the cloud backup to only operate when the phone is connected to a Wi-Fi network. Otherwise, you risk blowing through your data plan without doing much of anything with the phone.
