The world’s most powerful cell phone: LG Optimus 2X Review

LG electronics  unveiled the Android LG Optimus 2x as part of its Optimus line up for next year. This is the first commercially available cell phone with a dual-core processor. I remember just the other day imagining that a cell phone will have more computing power than a desktop computer. Well no need to imagine any more that time has come.  We’ve entered a new era.

The LG Optimus 2X processor was developed by NVIDIA which is known for developing amazing graphics capabilities for desktop computers and laptops. The daul-core Tegra 2 system-on-a-chip runs at a clock speed of 1GHz which runs with low power consumption and high performance video and audio capabilities.

Let’s take a look at the new HTC Desire Z!

A review of the HTC Desire Z seems to be timely here in Canada as we gear up for the Christmas season. This cell phone  is available on Bell’s network for  $79.95 on a three year term for those holiday shoppers looking for gifts.  If you are wondering what’s the difference between the Desire Z and the Desire, well it has a new Z-hinge slide-out keyboard and touch screen. It is essentially the HTC Desire with a slide out keyboard, the regular HTC Desire just has a touch screen and its larger cousin the HTC Desire HD (available in the US) also is without a keyboard. So for those cell phone users out there who feel more comfortable with a keyboard maybe this phone should be on your check out list.

Looking to get a Windows 7 Phone? The Samsung Focus is one of four WP 7 phones ,the other three being, HTC Surround, LG Optimus and LG Quantum all of which are available in Canada for the first time, week of November 8. The Focus is not stylish by any stretch, but it is the thinnest WP7 phone that exists right now, and it’s kind of the first thing you notice.

In terms of specs, the Focus is like the Galaxy S Model phones all of which carry Super Amoled 4 “ screens but with a different CPU and less RAM, and of course with Window Phone 7 Operating System behind it. In terms of Applications, Microsoft is working on expanding its supported APPs which you can download from Marketplace though admittedly there are lagging behind Google Android in variety and availability at this time.

Windows Phone 7 HTC Surround Cell Phone Review

The review of the HTC Surround T8788 is a review of one of the first Windows Phone 7 cell phones to be launched in Canada. I was immediately drawn to the HTC Surround because I’ve always associated Windows mobile devices with HTC from the early days of the HTC Touch and later the Touch Pro and Diamond. In addition, HTC has become a leader in the cell phone arena with notable devices like the Nexus One, and the HTC Desire, so it seems obvious to review the new HTC Surround as one of my first looks at a Windows Phone 7 device. This cell phone is available  in Canada on November 8th through TELUS. Pricing is expected to be around $99 on 3 year contract. What ever the price, get the best HTC 7 Surround cell phone and plans here!.

The new BlackBerry on the Block – The Bold 9780

It looks the same so what’s the catch. With this latest device from BlackBerry it’s all about what’s under the hood versus the form factor.   So the catch is it looks exactly like theBold 9700 and intentionally so, but the Bold 9780 has its differences.

So how is the Bold 9700 different from the Bold 9780. In summary, more memory, better camera and most importantly and excitingly BlackBerry OS 6, which means you get to enjoy a great online web browsing experience.
