Latest Mobile: Black Berry Storm

Phone typeCandy bar
Height112.5 mm
Width62.2 mm
Depth14 mm
Weight155 grams

The BlackBerry® Storm™ smartphone is Research In Motion's first full touchscreen mobile phone and on the surface, it's just another one to add to the ever growing list available. However, the Storm™ has gone in its own direction and features innovations not found anywhere else, plus the draw of the awesome email capabilities of a BlackBerry® mobile cannot be underestimated. Read on to see why the Storm™ was one of the most anticipated mobile phone releases of the year!Features at a Glance
A 3.2" touchscreen with a 360x480 resolution and SurePress™ technology.
Built-in Assisted GPS with BlackBerry® Maps installed.
A 3.2 megapixel camera.
Music and video player.
The Storm™ is 3G with HSDPA support.
1GB of internal memory and a microSD slot compatible with 8GB card. Why You Should Buy the Storm™
The BlackBerry® Storm™ is running version 4.7 of the BlackBerry® OS, which has been enhanced to become more finger friendly. What is good however, is how little the experience has changed from other recent BlackBerrys®, you have the regular shortcut keys on the home screen and either by pressing the screen or the handy BlackBerry® button below it takes you to the full menu as usual. Alongside the BlackBerry® menu key are the call and back keys, however, one could also call the entire screen a key all by itself! This is because of SurePress™, a system which means you actually have to press the screen down to select a function, resulting in a soft click.
At first, this can be a little disconcerting and it will take a while to become fully acquainted with it, however once you are you'll appreciate the level of feedback this system provides. BlackBerry® have also thought about the text input too, something which is so important to the overall BlackBerry® experience. Holding the phone normally gives you the SureType™ style keypad familiar to anyone who has used a BlackBerry® Pearl™ smartphone, but by turning the phone on its side - and letting the accelerometer adjust the screen automatically - a full QWERTY keyboard is displayed to make tapping out messages much more natural. DataViz is installed which allows you to edit most popular documents and then send them on too.
Like many other touchscreen phones, a swipe of your finger scrolls around pages or through your picture gallery and just as before, the BlackBerry® key brings up the menu so anyone used to a BlackBerry® OS will be at home here, while new users will be quick to adjust. The Storm™ is a 3G device and has support for HSDPA plus EDGE and GPRS, so web browsing on the move is as fast as currently possible, plus the BlackBerry® browser has been given a tweak or two and is better than previous incarnations. Of course, this being a BlackBerry® means it excels at anything email related and connects quickly and simply to just about any network you can think of.
Away from the business side of the Storm™, you have the 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera with an LED flash, a very capable music and video player, a 3.5mm jack plug for your own headphones and the Assisted GPS receiver complete with BlackBerry® Maps.

Top Mobile: O2 Ice White

Price:(£99 PAYG)

The Ice, exclusive to O2 is, as you may have gathered, white. In fact, I’d describe the colour as pure brilliant white – like the paint. It is tall and thin, and I have to say, rather elegant in design. The phone tapers at both the top and bottom edges, which makes a nice change from blockier handset designs and permits a couple of curves to creep in. When you add in the unusual rounded shaping of the number pad buttons, the call and end keys and the soft menu keys and the net result is a distinctive and not unpleasant handset.
When you buy a mobile for its looks you really need a matching Bluetooth earpiece, especially when your handset is cool white, right? Buy O2’s Ice online and that’s what you’ll get, the headset being worth £49.99, at least according to the company’s web site.

MY review Ice didn’t have this little extra in its box, but I did get a pair of white headphones. These incorporate a blue O2 flash on each earbud, which will allow the eagle-eyed to spot that you are using O2 kit and not any other, ‘trendywhite’ hardware.
It is one of the little let-downs of this handset that the headset connects to the phone via a 2.5mm jack. O2 has come close to offering owners the opportunity to use their own headset with the phone, but stepped back from the brink at the last minute. Yes, you could use a 2.5mm to 3.5mm converter plug, but this is an unwieldy solution and with the headphone socket located on the left edge of the Ice, one that is very awkward for the pocket.
The phone actually isn’t just white. There are some small splashes of colour such as green and red markings on the Call and End buttons, a circle of silver in the centre of the navigation button, markings on the number pad and so on, but the predominant whiteness is clearly this handset’s defining feature.
Usability has not been sacrificed for design. All the keys are slightly raised from the fascia, well spaced and very easy to hit. The navigation button, though small, is also easy to use.

Top Mobile:Black Diamond mobile phone for $300,000!

The Sony Ericsson Black Diamond was just a concept back in March, when pictures of Jaren Goh's concept phone began circulating on the web. Now, though, comes news that this stunning looking mobile phone will actually be made...well, five of them anyway!
Yes, in an effort to release the ultimate exclusive phone, just five Black Diamond mobile phones will be made, each encrusted with diamonds, and sold for $300,000 a piece!
Oh, and despite Jaren Goh originally designing the concept for Sony Ericsson, it's VIPN that will be making them. Pity, as it would have enabled Sony Ercsson to have a competitor for Nokia's appallingly over-priced and under-featured Vertu range of phones.

TheBlack Diamond mobile phone will come with the following features:
Quadband
802.11g WiFi
2.0" 256k TFT screen
128MB RAM
SIP (for VOIP)
WM5
Touch sensitive keypad
4MP camera
400Mhz Intel Xscale CPU Not bad - not worth $300,000, perhaps, but then the diamonds, titanium and polycarbonate case might account for some of the horrific price tag. If you want the ultimate in exclusive phones, then best be quick, as with only five being sold, there's bound to be a rush for the Black Diamond, even at that price!

Top Mobile: White Pearl

Price: $1,500 (£815.00)

Well this is the news i've been dieing to hear,so here we have it folks a more affordable version of the beautiful Black diamond although it won't be black.
The White Pearl will in every way be the same as the Black Diamond just no Titan and no diamonds and will come in a pearlacent white colour which i prefer more than the black to be very honest,even though the black does looks good in its own way.
And specification wise it will be the same again,Quad band with Wi-Fi an Intel 400Mhz processor running windows mobile 5 a 262k TFT colour screen,Touch Sensitive 2"screen,it will also feature an internal memory of 128mb and will come with a 2Gb SD card for external storage and a 4 Megapixel camera.
Since the White Pearl will come without the luxury add ons the price will reflect that hence it will only cost: $1,500 (£815.00) now thats music to my ears.

Top 5:Latest Laptop MSI Wind NB U100

Price:$550

was one of the first Intel Atom-based mini-laptops to appear, and thus helped establish what this bargain-priced CPU can handle. Our $550 configuration, which included 1GB of RAM, an 80GB 2.5-inch hard-disk drive, and Windows XP, earned a score of 36 on WorldBench 6. That's about average for a netbook.
The Wind's most touted feature is TurboDrive--a feature that amounts to overclocking at the touch of a button. Essentially, TurboDrive serves as a power management shortcut that shoves the Atom processor into its higher-power mode. Battery life was a letdown, though: The three-cell battery that shipped with our unit lasted for just 2 hours, 24 minutes.
MSI's Wind is small and fairly light (about 2.6 pounds), and it's sturdy enough to take a beating. But other solidly built netbooks are widely available, too.

Top 4:Latest Laptop Acer Aspire One

Price: $349

The first Acer Aspire One netbook, a Linux-based model, impressed us despite its modest components. Now the Aspire One's Windows XP Home version is here, carrying a larger hard drive and more RAM. Though hardly superswift, the XP-based Aspire One is a fine machine at a fantastic price: $349.
This Aspire One retains the physical profile, excellent keyboard, and small but crisp 8.9-inch screen found on the Linux-based model. But a 120GB hard-disk drive replaces the Linux model's paltry 8GB solid-state drive, and the system bulks up to 1GB of RAM (versus the Linux model's 512MB). Regrettably, the Aspire One earned a mark of just 34 on our WorldBench 6 tests, putting it toward the back of the pack among Atom-based netbooks (the average mini-laptop score hovers around 36).
Even worse, the Aspire One's three-cell battery lasted for just 2 hours, 16 minutes. You'll probably want to spring for the six-cell battery, which costs an extra $100--thereby negating the Aspire One's price advantage
