Apple iPhone 3GS (AT&T)


Apple's iPhone 3GS may look like its 3G, its predecessor, but it's a much larger upgrade under the hood than its physical appearance gives it credit for. The company stuck with the crowd-pleasing design of the 3G, but make no mistake, that S stands for speed.
The iPhone 3GS comes equipped with a processor and graphic update that makes the device twice as fast as the 3G, loading web pages faster than ever before and providing an email experience that rivals the very best BlackBerry has to offer. The 3GS also comes equipped with a video camera for shooting VGA quality video in portrait or landscape mode.
Apple's iPhone and 3G gave users the best web browsing experience on the market with Safari, touch controls and pinch to zoom. The speed of the 3GS truly brings the browser to a new level, stripping away glitchy behavior and lag time while loading web pages at a faster clip allowing richer web browsing experience.
Aside from the hardware improvements making existing software in iOS better, it also opens the door for new opportunities within the user interfaces. Cut, copy and paste is finally here, and although it may have taken longer than it should have, the mechanic works just as well in iOS as it does in its Android and BlackBerry counterparts.
Although the 3GS may not seem like as big a leap forward as the 3G, buyers will likely be surprised at the performance difference between the two models after spending some time with Apple's latest handset. Loading web pages, booting apps and even making notes all feel like much more of a chore on the 3G, while the 3GS handles all of that and more with ease.
In addition to being an upgrade to the 3G, the 3GS just further separates Apple's smartphone from the rest of the market right now. HTC's Touch Cruise and Samsung Instinct are two other devices that attempt to be ambitious with touch-screen designs, but ultimately do not have the hardware or software for anyone to even declare that they're in the same league as the 3GS.
The iPhone 3GS may not light up consumers� eyeballs because it features the same physical design as the 3G, but it's a joy to use and truly the next step in smartphone performance at a time when everyone else is still at least three or four behind.    View the original article here

Apple iPhone 4 (AT&T)


The iPhone 4. The very words inspire controversy, excitement and anticipation, but after a quick stop at bar in California and few thousand Internet rumors later the device is finally here and it's features the biggest changes to Apple's smartphone yet.
In the first major design shift since the iPhone 3G in 2008, Apple decided to reinvent the wheel with the iPhone 4, as the front and back of the device are made up entirely of gorilla glass while a redesigned stainless steel antenna wraps around the outside of the device to bind it all together. However, even though we may have been tipped off to much of this thank to Internet leaks, Apple had an ace in the hole, a Retina display.
Get used to the term, because the Retina display is the single greatest screen to ever grace a mobile device. Apple coined the term because the pixel density is so high on the iPhone that it's impossible to decipher a single one with the human eye. Looking at the iPhone lock screen is like looking at an illuminate piece of 3.5-inch paper, and it's so cool you may never get used to it.
The whole package makes for a stunning device to look at and hold in your hand, far outclassing other top-of-the-line smartphones on the market like the HTC Droid Incredible and LG Ally, which are made almost entirely of plastic.
After getting a sense of the look and feel of the device it's almost easy to forget that its hardware and software take it places smartphones have never been before. An updated A4 processor takes performance to a new level and opens the door for developers to raise the bar in mobile apps, and a gyroscope offers three-dimensional movements with six-axis controls for games to take advantage of with new gameplay mechanics.
Apple has also upgraded the camera to an impressive 5-megapixels with a lens that is capable of capturing beautiful 720p video.
But wait, there's one more thing. The iPhone 4 also sports a front-facing camera that allows users of the device to video chat, Facetime, with each other over a Wi-Fi connection. It's kind of a bummer that it can't be done over your carriers' 3G network, but Apple has not ruled out that possibility in the future.
At a time where the HTC Desire, Samsung Galaxy and Motorola Droid have all emerged to become worthy threats to the iPhone, Apple has truly thrown down the gauntlet with the iPhone 4. Is it perfect? No. But it's damn close. It's the best smartphone ever made.  View the original article here

Apple iPhone 4 (CDMA) (Verizon)


Released for Verizon, the Apple iPhone 4 is a glass and stainless steel that measures just 9.3 millimeters in width -- 24 percent thinner than the existing 3GS. It also has a higher-resolution 3.5-inch touch screen display that renders text and images for amazing clarity -- 78 percent sharper than the iPad. The iPhone 4 also has a highly-anticipated front-facing camera, which can be used for videoconferencing, in addition to one on the back. A new gyroscope offers three dimensional movements with six-axis controls, perfect for gaming. Additional features include dual-microphones, 802.11n Wi-Fi, high-speed HSDPA Internet and integration with iBooks and iAds.   View the original article here

Apple iPhone 4S (AT&T / Sprint / Verizon)


Apple's iPhone 4S comes with all the features customers want in a smartphone, but unlike its predecessors, there's little about it that has its competitors looking on with a jealous eye.
The iPhone 4S features an A5 dual-core processor that has seven times the graphical capability of the A4 chip in the iPhone 4 and can perform tasks up to twice as fast. Apple also upgraded the camera to an 8-megapixel lens capable of shooting 1080p video.
Apple is also launching iCloud alongside the device. A free new service that keeps all of users iOS devices in sync with each other, from their apps to music, photos and contacts.
The biggest addition to the 4S, however, is Siri, a new "personal assistant" that users can activate by holding down the home button. Siri responds to users' voice commands like "how is the weather?" and "where is the nearest gas station?" Overall, Siri is one of the most advanced voice command systems on the market today, but it is far from perfect, or even complete, as Apple itself admitted the version in the 4S is a beta.
Let's get this out of the way; the iPhone 4S is a great phone. It's easily one of the two or three best phones on the market right now, but it's not light years ahead of its peers in the same way its predecessors have been before it. Apple is marketing the device around Siri, and while the feature is welcome, it's nowhere near as strong as the advances that have headlined past iterations of the device.
The 4S is also going up against far greater competition than any of its predecessors. The Samsung Galaxy S2, HTC Rezound, Motorola Droid Razr and the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Nexus all compare favorably to the device. Each of those handsets features a larger screen than the 4S, and with the promise of the Android 4.0 operating system, the software advantage Apple has held for years with iOS may not be as large as it was in years past.
For customers comfortable with iOS and looking to take advantage of iCloud, the 4S is still a fantastic device, even without reaching the high bar Apple has set for itself. However, for those who have been upgrading their iPhones every year like clockwork, the 4S may be the device customers want to skip. Perhaps save your money for next year's new iPhone, or maybe put it towards something else altogether, after all, there are some nice options.   View the original article here

HTC Evo 4G LTE (Sprint)



Apple and HTC have fought tooth and nail in the courtrooms and the Evo 4G LTE is finally out on store shelves. But the phone, truly a formidable iPhone competitor, has a few significant flaws that consumers will want to take note of.
The centerpiece of the Evo is its high-resolution LCD screen, and it's excellent, but it doesn't quite match the iPhone's overall display quality -- both in terms of clarity and vibrancy.
Picture lovers will drool over its 8-megapixel camera, which boasts high-powered features like HDR and Continuous Shooting, and offers a lens that actually sharpens the focus -- even at long-range distances. It's the perfect device for snapping action shots, so the Evo is a great phone to take to parties, trips or just to capture those spontaneous moments.
The Evo isn't a small phone -- it's bigger than the iPhone and the Galaxy Nexus, though not obnoxiously so. HTC managed to still keep it slender, though, and designed the device with an "anodized" black finish for a clean and snappy feel -- but one gripe: the line across the back of the phone takes away from its sleekness.
What else do we love? The Evo runs on Android 4.0, dubbed "Ice Cream Sandwich," for all the Google goodies, plus an added layer HTC calls "Sense 4.0" for user interface. Sense is easy to figure out and just as easy on the eyes -- providing beautiful backgrounds and... interesting widgets, though it can make the screen look a little too cluttered.
Older versions of the Evo 4G suffered from a lackluster battery life, so Sprint included a beefed up battery in its updated version, neutralizing a potential power problems.
The Evo isn't without its drawbacks, although the biggest one isn't HTC's fault. Sprint's abominable 4G LTE network essentially pushes the phone into 3G, making it slower than it should be. When customers complain, the carrier is shifty about when and where exactly it plans to build the faster network.
Still, buyers interested in the Evo may want to consider the extremely similar HTC One X. Despite minor cosmetic differences, the Evo has a few advantages over the One X, like a kickstand and HD voice call support, but other than that, they share awfully similar specs and prices. But the One X is better than the Evo in one regard -- it runs on AT&T, which offers a much improved 4G LTE network.
For people who have Sprint coverage, or people who don't mind sluggish data speeds, the Evo is a feature-packed device. It just may not be the best fit for someone looking for unparalleled speed.

Features
  • Crafted from aluminum in an anodized black finish for a thin and distinctive style
  • Brilliant 4.7-inch HD display with a kickstand built into the back to prop up the device to watch videos
  • Built on Android 4.0, dubbed 'Ice Cream Sandwich', with HTC's Sense 4 interface for the latest Google features and an easy-to-use platform
  • Advanced 8-megapixel camera offers 1080p HD video recording and a fast start-up and auto-focus time to stay with a moving objects and take numerous pictures by holding down the shutter button
  • HTC's Beats Audio provides an improved sound experience, so you hear music the way the artist intended with audio tuning that delivers better bass, midrange and high notes
  • Speedy 1.5-gigahertz processor with a 2000 mAh embedded battery to ensure smooth and long-lasting performance
  • LTE technology delivers faster download speeds to browse the web and watch streaming video

Apple iPad 2



The second generation of Apple's venerable tablet - iPad 2 - improves on its predecessor in both design and hardware. The iconic tablet is now thinner even than the iPhone 4 at 0.34" (8.8mm), and weighs just 1.35 pounds (613 grams).

Apple iPad 3 AT&T

The Apple iPad 3 for AT&T, or simply iPad, as it is officially called, is Apple's latest foray in the contemporary tablet market - a market the company single-handedly started about two years ago. Although the third-generation iPad remains the same on the outside (not a bad thing), it does bring a lot of improvements on the inside. First of all, it has a new screen resolution of 2048x1536 pixels, delivering an amazing for a tablet pixel density of 264 ppi. Another major improvement has to do with the processor of the device, which is now the so-called A5X - still a dual-core processor, but with a new quad-core GPU for outstanding graphics performance. The camera has also been given a boost and is now much more capable in terms of both photo- and video-taking. Finally, the new iPad 3 has been blessed with LTE connectivity. Additionally, all 4G iPads will also have global 3G capabilities, so you should be able to use 3G on most carriers around the world.             View the original article here

Samsung Galaxy S III Sprint


  • US carrier availability: Sprint - Upcoming ; Expected release date: 21 June 2012
Sprint’s Samsung Galaxy S III sports a 4.8 inch HD Super AMOLED display and comes with the dual-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor with LTE on board. This makes it future proof for Sprint’s LTE network. The Sprint Galaxy S III packs 2GB of RAM which should help multitasking a great deal.

Samsung Galaxy S III Verizon




U.S. Cellular - Upcoming as Samsung Galaxy S III U.S. Cellular Expected release date: July 2012 Verizon - Upcoming Expected release date: 9 July 2012

Verizon’s Samsung Galaxy S III features a 4.8 inch HD Super AMOLED screen and the dual-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8960 S4 processor with integrated LTE. This grants you lightning fast 4G access, while performance will get a further boost from the 2GB of RAM on the Galaxy S III.

Nokia Lumia 710


The Nokia Lumia 710 is the second Nokia Windows Phone and what makes it different is its affordability paired with nearly the same guts as the Nokia Lumia 800. The Lumia 710 also comes with a 3.7" display, exchangeable back covers for distinct looks, but the body itself will come in black and white. The processor is clocked at 1.4GHz, but you also have hardware acceleration and the very same GPU as the one in the Lumia 800.


Nokia Lumia 610




Nokia Lumia 610 is the most affordable Windows Phone we’ve seen so far. It lowers the spec requirements on Windows Phone - it requires less capable processors and less RAM. For example, low-end WP phones will now be able to ship with Qualcomm 7x27A chips and 256MB of RAM. At the same time, the Nokia Lumia 610 aims to come with the same smooth Windows Phone experience and it is confirmed to offer all of WP features. Software-wise you’d get Nokia Maps, Drive, and Nokia Transport with bus and subway directions for over 500 cities that will augment WP. Designwise, the new handset features curvy metallic edges and Nokia describes it to have a "confident feel." The Nokia Lumia 610 price is set at around $255 (189 euro) - the most affordable we've seen Windows Phone go.

Apple iPhone 4 Verizon







The first CDMA version of the Apple iPhone - the iPhone 4 is almost completely identical to AT&T's smartphone, with the only difference being the CDMA radio and ability to do Mobile Hotspot for up to 5 devices. The other features include a 5MP main camera lens with LED flash and 720p HD video recording, secondary mic for noise-cancellation, GPS, Gyroscope and what not.
