HTC HD2 video

Just a short while ago James managed to get his hands on the excellent HTC HD2, he is extremely impressed with it and in his words he was ‘Not sure if he was shaking because it was my first piece of video for T&M or because I loved the handset so much!’

So James has recorded this brief video for us, the first of many I hope and for now it’s just a quick tour of the handset. We shall, of course, have move video for you shortly but thought you would appreciate this little teaser!

Be sure to come back soon for more and fire away with your HTC HD2 questions on the forum!

Sony Ericsson Satio unboxing video

Just last week we reviewed the Samsung Pixon12, the first mobile that we’d seen with a 12 megapixel camera. Now this week we’ve managed to get our hands on the Sony Ericsson Satio which has a 12.1 megapixel shooter. While there seems to be some debate over which company was the first to have a 12 megapixel camera phone it’s obvious that there’s some competition here!

The Sony Ericsson Satio

It’s too early for us to say which is best but I have to say that I like the design of the Satio a little better and I think that the lens cover is a great idea. The Satio also seems to be a little more focused (no pun intended) towards the social networking side in terms of sharing your photos and geotagging them before uploading to various sharing sites. You may have seen the TV ads over the past few weeks.

James will be putting the Sony Ericsson Satio through it’s paces over the next week and will have his review for us soon. I’m sure he’ll be making comparisons between this and the Pixon12. If you have any questions for us then please do head over to the forum to submit, we’ll try to cover them in the review for you.

Sony Ericsson Satio specification: 

• Operating System – Symbian OS
• Display – 3.5 inch Touchscreen (360×640 pixels) with accelerometer
• Operating Frequency – GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 & UMTS/HSDPA 900 / 2100
• WiFi 802.11b/g DLNA
• Bluetooth V2.0 with A2DP
• GPS – Built in GPS & A-GPS
• Expansion – microSD
• Camera images geo-tagging, face and smile detection
• Google maps
• FM radio with RDS
• Camera – 12.1 MP, 4256 x 2832 pixels, autofocus, xenon flash, video, video LED flash, secondary VGA videocall camera

LG BL40 Chocolate unboxing video

LG’s Black Label handset, the LG BL40, has to be one for the more unusual form-factor handsets available at the moment with its stunning 4" 345 x 800 pixel display offering a truly cinematic ratio of 21:9 – this is a tall (or wide) handset!

The LG BL40 Chocolate

When I first head about this handset and its huge display I thought the BL40 would turn out to be a huge handset, however, it really isn’t. Sure it is large in one direction but it’s quite narrow and extremely thin which means that the whole package is quite pocketable.

The widescreen display makes the BL40 idea for mobile web-browsing but whether or not it will provide a better browsing experience than its 480×800 pixel widescreen Windows Mobile competitors remains to be seen. We’ll find out during the review which we’ll have online for you within the next week or so.

For now, have a look at the unboxing video below to see the LG BL40 in a little more detail and for a quick tour of the S-Class OS.
