Just wanted to wrap up our Review of the Nokia E72 which started with Unboxing , Pros and Cons and 5 Megapixel Camera . The E71 was a major hit and was one of the most loved Nokia phones. Can the E72 replace the E71’s supremacy ? Check out our E72 Review
Continuing my Series of the Sony Ericsson Vivaz Posts, I’d like to give you a bit of a closer Insight on the Vivaz Camera, which is the Heart, Soul and Marketing Argument on this Handset. Now I know that I’m far away from being a Photo Expert and most Details of the Specification List i simply don’t understand. However, i DO love to go out and snap Pictures and Videos of whatever comes into my Way and the Vivaz was no Exception.
The FoneArena Nokia N900 Review
The N900 is the first phone from Nokia based on the Maemo Platform. Nokia has expressed their intentions to use Maemo in high-end phones. The Nokia N900 is a Touchscreen, full QWERTY slider phone and one of most talked about members of the N-Series recently.
Does the first phone built on the top of this relatively new phone platform live up to it’s expectations ? Find out in our N900 review.
I’m sure you must have noticed the new look of our website, with the LG banners. We thought it’s best not to end it at just that and so we have the LG BL40 (Chocolate) for review in our office.
We will be putting this ultra wide-screen fashionable phone to the test and see if it is as good as the name!
Roughly a Week ago I was offered to trial a Nokia E72 by my good Friends of WOM World Nokia. Already having experienced the Awesomeness that was the Nokia E71, i was very eager to get my Hands its Successor. Filled in the Trial Form, sent it back to WOM World and here we go, the Adventure that is the E72 begins:
I received the Box on late Friday afternoon and went to work with it on Saturday Morning. After i first took the Device in my Hands i’ve decided to come up with a few Words to the Person who trialed the E72 before me: You’re in a very elite Group, Pal. You have the Privilege to get your Hands on one of Nokia’s latest Devices. The Handset came in a Condition that some of my 2 year old Phones not even look like. The Screen is scratched, some Corners look like they’re losing small Chips of Chrome the hard way. So in my Opinion the Device has been dropped and not at all been taken care of. If you don’t know how to treat a Test Device, you better leave them to People who do. Seriously, you don’t deserve it. Not cool.
So here we have the Blackberry 9700, also popularly known as the Bold 2. (RIM went as far as etching “Bold” on the back of the phone as well – something not present on the original Blackberry 9000, the Bold). The original Bold was the first of it’s kind. The massive 2.5” screen with HVGA resolution, and the first 3G Blackberry, giving a clear impression RIM wanted to change the “boring” look of traditional blackberries (started by the introduction of Blackberry 8100). The Bold 2 has built upon several of the predecessor’s in Blackberries’ lineup over the last year or so. The exact specs can be found here

This is the post I have been waiting to write for a month, after continuously reviewing so many Apps throughout the year, I have tried my best to summarize and bring you the must have Apps(here Apps by default means iPhone Apps).
I will not be categorizing any Apps and I will also give a alternative if possible. I am also avoiding any description as these are few selected Apps you should not require any description, you just need to fire up iTunes and get these.
1) Print & Share

Blackberry Tour 9630 specs called as Blackberry BOLD for the CDMA network is a perfectly blended with style and features. Though it almost shares its looks with the Blackberry curve, tour has better QWERTY keyboard and design. We’ll talk about the design later on in this review.
Samsung had organized an event way back in September, a blogger meet to explore this form of reaching out to it’s potential market. We at Fonearena were invited for it too. It was a great event and we got to understand a lot more about Samsung and their strategies.What was completely surprising was when they launched the Corby. This ‘cheap’ touch screen phone was completely unexpected and it did cause a stir in the market.With our readers clamoring for a review of this device, we got one from Samsung for a review.

iPhone was never a perfect navigational device, though it has Maps App but it hardly solved the purpose, it just shows your current position and roughly calculates distance between point A and B. The scenario increased a little on iPhone world, with release iPhone OS 3.0 and biggies like TomTom, Sygic etc. launched there turn by turn navigational App for iPhone. But to hail the maps were only limited to US, Canada and Australia .After so much wait now we have a hope here, Sygic has launched a full blown turn by turn navigational App for iPhone with maps of India.

The Samsung Omnia HD has had a lot of things said about it. But the biggest USP of this product is the camera. This baby rocks an 8 megapixel camera that does recording in HD (1280 x 720) at 24fps.
Let’s see in detail how the Omnia HD performs in this critical section, since this is the strongest point on it.
Samsung, today makes some of the highest megapixel count camera-phones in the world today. At 8MP, which is the current standard for high end phones, this camera is good. The Omnia HD has a lot of options and presets to help you get the most out of it. The interface on the Omnia HD’s camera is better than the Nokia solution on it’s touchscreen devices too. The only part where it loses out is the inclusion of a single LED flash. Without adequate flash, this phone cannot be used to capture anything in a dark area, as the results will be anything but acceptable. Continue reading “Samsung Omnia HD Review Part-4: Camera”

In this rather late third part of the review of the Omnia HD, we bring to you a low down on the software that makes the Omnia HD a performer.
As you all know the Omnia HD is Samsung’s first S60 5th edition device and the third touch screen S60 phone to be launched. Samsung with a good experience in touch screen phones, has for some reason failed to deliver a product that sets it apart from an N97 or a 5800. Sure, in terms of the hardware and the camera performance, the Omnia HD is one helluva performer, but some downright silly niggles keep the Omnia HD from becoming a high seller. The good part of it, a firmware update can easily fix it. Continue reading “Samsung Omnia HD Review Part-3: Software and Accessories”
After having brought to you a camera comparison between Nokia’s newest camera flagship, the N86 8MP, and its old sibling, the Nokia N82, today we show you a side by side comparison of the 2 device’s hardware and design. As always, you can click on the thumbnails to access the full resolution photos.
Sizewise, the N86 8MP is chubbier and shorter than the N82, due to its dual-slider form factor, as opposed to the N82’s candybar design. The materials used on the N86 are nice classy plastic with metal, and covered with non-scratchable glass on the front, whereas the N82 uses the old cheap and shiny black plastics that we saw on the N81, N96, N78, N85…
