A lot of people will agree that the BlackBerry Torch 9850 is not a good-looking phone. They say it follows the concept of a “waterfall” with its design lines but the glass curving down over the 3.7 inch WVA screen and the body is ruined by the four oddly shaped buttons and optical touchpad on the bottom. Flip over the phone and the gunmetal band over the matte section is a nice touch.

Open the phone and you have the battery and the slot for the microSD to beef up the 4GB built in one. This smart phone makes use of the 1.2GHz of processor, Liquid Graphics engine , and 78 MB RAM.

The Torch 9850 comes with a 5 MP camera that has an autofocus which actually subjects users to taking shots which are out of focus. Users can capture videos at720p.

Software

The Torch 9850 comes with the OS7 for BlackBerry similar to the 9330. The 9850 though lacks a useful home screen as it is only good for the wallpaper and not for any shortcut or widget. The system will also give you an on screen keyboard which is a squarish enough to be similar to the physical BlackBerry keyboard.

The phone also comes with Documents To Go and a new browser that goes well with HTML5.

On April 16th, the HTC Hero is going to be upgraded with the brand new Android 2 OS!  That is super exciting and I have to say that now …this is a phone that I am going to buy.  The specs?  Well, that is, a 3.2-inch touchscreen display with 320 x 480 resolution, a 5MP autofocus camera, HTC’s latest Sense UI, an accelerometer sensor, GPS, WiFi and supports HSDPA connectivity.

Sprint has this particular phone available for about $179.00 with a two year contract and a $100.00 mail-in rebate – all of which is awesome!

For example, the Samsung Galaxy S features a 4-inch Super AMOLED screen and a 1GHz application processor that enables vibrant 720p HD video playback, rich augmented reality content through Layar Reality Browser, and advanced LBS (Location Based Services). The Samsung GT-I9000 also has the “Social Hub” feature that provides always-on social networks connectivity.

The phone itself looks completely different too, as it certainly looks chic and different and I have to say that I love it!

Not only does the Samsung Diva S7070 come in a beautiful color but there are a ton of different features that are awesome for women.  For example: a 2.8-inch QVGA touchscreen display, TouchWiz UI, Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE connectivity, social networking integration, a 3.5mm headset jack, and a 3.2MP Auto Focus camera with a “beauty shot” feature. The phone also features a diamond-shaped navigation key and a fashionable back cover.

You want a phone for a woman?  Samsung really thought about it when they designed the Samsung Diva!

The Motorola Brute i680 is honestly one of those phones that every single person that is clumsy should own – it was actually designed with the military in mind.  The handset meets the military’s 810F standards for shock, vibration, dust, low/high temperature, low pressure, solar radiation, salt fog, humidity and blowing rain.

In terms of performance, the handset offers a 2.2-inch 176 x 220 internal display, a 1.3-inch 120 x 160 external display, a 2-megapixel camera with flash, a 180MB of internal memory, a memory card slot, an MP3 player, a web browser, email, threaded messaging, GPS and Bluetooth connectivity.
