LG LX290To be honest – I try to avoid Sprint phones simply because the Sprint service all together is terrible.  I used to be a Sprint customer for years, however I switched on over to T-Mobile and I could not be happier!  However, Sprint is coming out with some of the coolest phones in the world … the LG LX290 is one of the them.  This phone is actually a slider phone and it is by far one phone that I think that you may need to check out.

While it is little, it is still a slider phone that is pretty cheap (it runs about $29.99 after $50.00 mail-in rebate), the cool thing about this phone is that you have all of the technology of the bigger phones in a small phone.  The LG LX290 offers a 1.33 x 1.77 inches QVGA TFT screen, a 1.3MP camera with 2x digital zoom, GPS (Sprint Navigation), Picture Messaging, Bluetooth, NFL Mobile Live, a 2.5mm headset jack and a 950 mAh battery for up to 6 hours of talk time.

All of this for that low price?  Incredible!  So give Sprint a chance and at least check out this cool looking LG phone!

The HTC Hero features some things which are noticeably missing on the myTouch 3G. On the HTC, it is called the Sense. In short, HTC Sense takes on a new approach to the functionality of smartphones.

sony-ericsson-c901-greenheart-naite-2Personally, I happen to love everything about Sony and I absolutely love the fact that Sony has come out with all sorts of new phones and the fact that they are going a bit greener.  The latest and greatest inventions from Sony Ericsson are the C901 GreenHeart and the Naite phones.  Both of these phones are a lot greener than most cell phones and that is exactly what I am going to go into detail about right now.

For example, how many phones do you know of that built from recycled plastic components, or have waterborne paint or even have eco-friendly packaging?  All the above is what comes with the C901 GreenHeart and the Naite phones and honestly – these phones are packed with all sorts of technology too, so you are not going to be missing out on anything!

nokia-6600iFor a long time, Nokia was the name in cell phones and mobile devices.  We haven’t seen too many exciting things from the innovative company just recently, but with the Nokia 6600i Slide Phone, they are coming back with a vengeance.  Just like the title says, this phone is a tiny little masterpiece.  It is practically miniscule — which is saying a lot, since it seems like cell phones and other mobile devices are getting smaller and smaller with each new launch.

Like the name of the phone implies, this is a slider phone. The tiny 5.0 megapixel machine is Nokia’s smallest model thus far. All the same, those megapixels make sure that you will not ever have to miss taking a great picture. The compact handset is comprised of a brushed steel, while the center key is a complementary chrome. The phone features tap commands which can be used to turn on the screen, activate snooze alarms and alerts, make the phone silent, and reject any calls you do not want to take. And that 5.0 camera is built into the handset; it has dual LED flash and the vibrant 2.2 inch display screen comes complete with sixteen million different colors. You can jack the memory on up to sixteen gigs with an added microSD card.
