“Nokia’s 6010 is one such handset that is being made available on pre-paid calling plans. The 6010 is the entry level model in Nokia’s 6000 series of more classically styled, business oriented handsets. It has a relatively simple set of core features when compared to modern megapixel cameraphones and keyboard laden smartphones, but considering its low cost and solid performance, it should be of real interest to a lot of people looking to get their first mobile phone”

Motorola E1000 Review
“With the current craze and hype over 3G, we have finally got our hands on a Motorola E1000 for a test drive. The E1000 is one of the earlier 3G phones, launched by Motorola last year. Unfortunately, I do not have access to a 3G network currently, so this review will be based on the GSM capabilities of the E1000, and of course, how it functions primarily as a phone.
The E1000 is a Dual Mode phone, featuring WCDMA (2100Mhz) and tri-band GSM (900/1800/1900Mhz) operation. The E1000 is capable of switching automatically between bands and modes.”

“Should a cell phone really cost $5,200? Vertu seems to think so. Their Ascent White Special Edition hits the market at that price point later this year in Asia. What makes it worth that much? We’re still not sure.
It does have some things going for it. It looks really good – sleek and smooth. The sapphire crystal screen won’t scratch unless you etch it with your diamond bling-bling. It is made of a Liquidmetal alloy which was made just for Vertu and is stronger than titanium. It comes with a hand-stitched leather holster. It has a button on it which connects you directly to the exclusive Vertu concierge service. It’s shock-mounted, so it won’t get hurt when you accidentally drop it from your ivory tower. There is a jeweled ruby bearing behind each key so it sounds better and feels smoother than any button you have ever pushed. The battery is decent, though not up to the high standards of the rest of the phone (3 to 6 hours of talk, 4.5 days of standby).”
$5,200 for a Vertu Ascent Special Edition phone?
