BlackBerry Storm Review

Storm, the first touchscreen phone from BlackBerry marker RIM, is expected to hits stands very soon. RIM has promised to provide a haptic feedback, but how will the world react to a BlackBerry sans keys?.
The Bod is by far the best BlackBerry made so far. It rocked the market with its stunning display and the sexy interface and was instrument in redefining the RIM objectives. The focus is still on business phones, but now RIM is also into lifestlyphones.
Both the XI and the Storm has got 3.2 MegaPixel camera and similar features in terms of connectivity. But QWERTY puts the Xperia is a step ahead.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 Review

This phone packs in features that you wont find in other phones from Sony Ericsson. Encased in a metal shell and sporting plastic keys, the X1 is quite differently built. Essential designed like a pocket PC, the Ericsson model opens up as an arc slider, to revel a four-row full QWERTY keypad and a 3-inch VGA touch screen.

The Xperia's main attraction lies in its X-panel. Interestingly, the WinMo-powered handset can be personalized through its nine-panel UI to suit your moods and lifestyle. The handset has its all in terms of connectivity - Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1, HSUPA, a 3.2 Megapixel snapper and assisted GPS. And there is 512MB of memory space. It can be further enhance upto 32GB via MicroSD

All in all, an extremely stylish handset and a mutlimedia powerhouse.

In india its proce tag is Rs. 37,000/-

Toshiba Satellite E105's Dull 'Silver' Finish

Toshiba's new 14.1-inch laptop, the Satellite E105, has earned the company more green laurels and a Silver classification from the Green Electronics Council's EPEAT program. That sounds great, but when you look closely, Silver has a dull finish.

Last year, EPEAT (the Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool) gave the Toshiba Portégé R500 a Gold ranking. So, what stopped the Satellite E105 from coming home with the Gold? Lead. And mercury. Toshiba, like many computer manufacturers, hasn't yet eliminated the intentional addition of the two toxins in manufacturing its laptops. Toshiba also failed to use any renewable or bio-based plastics material (though EPEAT did give it credit for declaring this deficit).

Also to its credit -- both from EPEAT and environmentalists at large -- Toshiba provides a take-back service for its laptops and its rechargeable battery pack. It's called the Toshiba Free Electronic Program and lets you recycle your old electronics regardless of the brand and at no cost to you. Toshiba also provides the shipping label. (Dell, to its credit, had been on the vanguard of such consumer- and eco-friendly measures).

Toshiba deservedly boasts that its products are compatible with two world-recognized directives:WEEE (Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment), which protects the environment by promoting the reuse, recycling, and recovery of electronic materials; and RoHS (Restriction on Hazardous Substance Standard), which seeks to reduce the use of manufacturing substances that harm human health or the environment. "The result? We've kept tons of toxic chemicals and other substances out of the ecosystem," Toshiba notes in its annual corporate social responsibility report. Those efforts include recovering and recycling tin used in manufacturing the Portégé R500 series at its Toshiba Information Equipment (Hangzhou) plant in China.

But given the tons of Toshiba-labeled plastics that are never recovered and end up in trash heaps around the globe, I encourage Toshiba to again go for the Gold.
