Microsoft Windows Mobile is really taking market shares and all the biggest mobile phone manufacturers are now releasing business smartphones with Windows Mobile. Who can blame them. Windows Mobile offers a GUI that most PC users recognize and the connectivity is excellent to popular e-mail clients like Exchange, Outlook and to Word, Excel etc. LG KS20 is a slim well designed mobile phone from LG running Windows Mobile 6.0. It supports tripple GSM (900,1800,1900), HDSPA and WiFi. It has touchscreen, 2 megapixel camera, MP3 player and a SD memory slot. Pretty much standard for a business phone, but the cool slim design makes LG KS20 center of attention among the smartphones. A good choice if you like a handy slim good business mobile phone.

As you know many of todays high brand electronics are made in large factory centers in China. To make it slightly more obvious take a look att Imobile Phone V950. It has the exact same design as Nokia N95, but looking under the surface, Imobile Phone V950 and Nokia N95 are two totally different phones. Reacding technical specification for Imobile Phone V950 is like going back 3-5 years in mobile technology, while Nokia N95 is a high end modern mobile phone with built in GPS and 5 megapixel camera. If you can't afford a N95, but like to pretend you own one, then Imobile V950 is a good option with a pricetag that is a fraction of the price for a N95. It's all about appearance right? Image shows a Nokia N95, but believe me V950 looks exactly the same, except the Nokia brand.

Are you looking to cut down on your mobile phone bills, then NETGEAR SPH101 Skype WiFi Phone is the perfect phone for you. You can use this phone in any area with WiFi access and it supports Skype-in, Skype-out, Skype voice mail. Netgear SPH101 has support for WEP and WPA-PSK encryption. It is much like Belkin WiFi Skype Phone, but is more solid and got great reviews.

Sony Ericsson P1i is a business mobile phone with 3G and WiFi capability. It runs Symbian OS and has excellent multimedia functionality and easy to use business solutions like push e-mail, active sync, BBC (Blackberry connect) and VoIP. Sony Ericsson P1i has a Qwerty keyboard and also a stylus pen for input on the touch sensitive anti reflection display. It has 3.2 Megapixel camera and support for memory stick micro card. Sony Ericsson P1i is a pretty good business phone, but even Sony Ericsson understands that Symbian OS might not be the best solution for connectivity and compatibility with PCs running Microsoft OS. Sony Ericsson will cooperate with Microsoft and release mobile phones running Microsoft Mobile OS in the near future.

Hmm, are you looking for the worlds most slim mobile phone with 5 megapixel camera? Then LG KG920 mobile phone is the right choice for you. It has the dimensions 108x50x18.9 and weigh 130 gram. The camera is of type 5 megapixel CCD with autofocus. The camera can also be used to record video with 30 frames/s and can rotate 180. Why am I only writing about LG KG920s camera functionality? Well, that's the only real good feature in this mobile phone. The rest of the specification tells us that KG920 has the same functionality as other mobiles in the low end segment. I would not recommend to buy a LG KG920, there are better models from LG like KU990, KE970 and of course KE850 Prada mobile.

KU990 is LG high end mobile phone with 5 mpix Schneider-Kreuznach lens camera and 3.6Mbps EDGE technology. KU990 has a 3 inch clear touch screen with 240x400 pixel resolution and is fairly light, weight only 112gram.LG KU990 really shines when it comes to the camera functionality with auto (and manual) focus, face detection, image stabilizer, one shake prevention feature and ISO800 sensitivity for photos in the dark. LG KU990 is a good mobile phone with nice design and excellent camera, but I would definitely recommend Nokia N95 in this segment. Nokia N95 has more functionality and is a better choice for the high end user.

LG sometimes outshines the competitors when it comes to slim, slick, cool designed mobile phones. LG Chocolate KE800 is just so well designed that it melts in your mouth like chocolate.. It has a hidden touch sensitive pad that glows red pointing out where to press. Who need technical information when you have a good looking phone like Chocolate KE800. Anyway it has a 2 mpix autofocus camera and Micro SD memory card slot, built in FM radio and can play MP3 and AAC (AAC+) audio files. It has the dimensions 95 x 48 x 15.2 mm and weigh 100 gram. Network support for GSM and EDGE. I'm not cheering about the technical details, but LG Chocolate KE800s uber-design makes it a target of interest. The image shows the gold edition of LG Chocolate.

I've already got a Nokia N95 and I'm very pleased with the phone, but I did regret buying it a bit when I saw E-TEN GLOFIISH X800. I always wanted a PDA kind of mobile phone running Microsoft Windows Mobile OS with built in GPS. My current network operator did not have any good mobile phone running Windows Mobile, so I decided to buy Nokia N95. Anyway, E-TEN GLOFIISH X800 runs the latest Windows Mobile 6.0 and reading the specifications it looks promising.  GLOFIISH X800 has support for quadband network (GSM), GPRS, 3G/HDSPA, WLAN and WAP (who needs WAP anyway). GLOFIISH X800 should be fast since it runs on Samsung S3C 2440 processor and has built in 64MB RAM and 256 ROM. Best with E-TEN GLOFIISH X800 is the OS, Windows Mobile 6.0 is perfect for a business user like me with easy synchronization with all Office programs and Outlook (push client). A plus is also the good resolution 640x480 on its 2.8 inch display, no other mobile phone I know has that kind of excellent resolution. Also nice with the easy to use pen and slide qwerty keyboard for input. One negative thing is the built in camera with 2.0 megapixel, I'm kind of spoiled with my Nokia N95 having 5 megapixel Carl Zeiss optics. 

I've just recently bought a Nokia N95 with 8GB built in memory and so far I'm very pleased. It is very easy to move music and media files to your Nokia N95 just by using Windows explorer. My primary interest with this mobile phone was the built in GPS receiver and Nokia Maps. You will need maps to use the navigator. It is possible to download maps on the fly, but that is very expensive in the long run, since lot of data transfer is needed. The easiest and best way is to download maps is via your regular internet connected computer. First visit http://www.nokia.com/maps and download Nokia map loader program (9,5MB). Then you might want to update your Nokia N95 with the latest map program (3MB). This is done with Nokia Nseries Application Installer.

Celebrity endorsements are very common nowadays and Motorola has signed David Beckham as their ambassador for Motorola RAZR2. David Beckham is a legendary soccerplayer, but does Motorola RAZR2 V9 cut it? Well it's a slick looking and well designed mobile phone. Motorola Razr2 v9 has 2.2 inch display, the dimensions 53x103x13.3mm, weigh 125 gram, a 2 megapixel camera, quadband network support and EDGE, GPRS, 3G (UMTS and HDSPA). RAZR2 has 45 MB built in memory and MicroSD slot for up to 2GB. In other words much like other mobile phones on the market, a bit more expensive because you have to pay into David Beckham already fat bank account. I could do without.
