LG KG810 Chocolate Phone Review
It won a few Phone of The Year awards, but the LG Chocolate phone franchise has only just begun. Its latest confectionary delight, the KG810, hopes for similar success.So is it as desirable as our Fashion Phone of the Year? Sadly this ‘Chocolate’ can’t emulate the KG800’s tantalising design but then that’s a very big ask. Lying dormant it still commands a hint of the minimalist mystery but the spell is broken by silver trim around the phone and on the lip. Unlike the slider form, there are limitations with the clamshell, the signature front LED touch keys are confined to three music player controls, and it definitely loses impact compared to its more illuminating comrade.
The phone itself is very svelte and trim, and its glossy fascia deserves a certain amount of attention and touching. But overdo it and the phone will become smeared with your mucky finger marks.
Flip it open and a rather appealing chequered keypad introduces itself. Like the KG800, it’s not touch-sensitive but nicely bevelled, and fantastic to use with the keys and navigation pad generously sized and responsive. LG likes to offer clearly defined shortcuts galore on its keypads and the KG810 is no exception. Access to contacts, messaging, favourites, camera, phone profiles and the built-in MP3 player are all but one click away.
Anyone already familiar with LG will find nothing new on the user interface and icon-driven menu, and newcomers won’t take long to master its ways. The UI is pretty intuitive and straightforward. Also, for a 220x176-pixel resolution display, it’s remarkably sharp and vibrant.

Windows vs. Linux vs. OS X
John Halamka, CIO of the Harvard Medical School and previously a dedicated Windows user, spent a month each with new notebooks running Red Hat Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows XP.
“I used to think that the Macintosh was something used by free spirits just to be different,” he says. “Now I realize the Mac has such superior human factor engineering that it’s used by people because they can be more productive. If Apple comes up with a 2- or 2.5-pound 12-inch-screen laptop that runs cool, has better integration with Exchange, and if Vista turns out to be the beast it could be, then I probably will move to a Mac.”

Blackberry Pearl review
At this point in time, a BlackBerry is just about standard issue equipment for anyone who needs to be easy to reach. There are a number of other options, most notably Windows Mobile smartphones, but the BlackBerry remains the tool of choice for business users. The company did this by catering their products to business users- their phones are great with email, are easy to use, and are packed with productivity features. In order to make the products even more attractive to coporate types the company left out many of the things that might be a security risk, like a camera, as well as leisure features, like a media player.Despite the restrain BlackBerry showed in sticking to phones aimed at professionals, the consumer market was just too attractive for them to stay away. The company had a proven formula, so with a few additions and some polishing they could have a very capable phone on their hands, something that could compete with all the smartphones on the market.
