Nokia E61i


One of the hottest areas of growth in the mobile device market has been the smartphone communicator segment. This is where QWERTY thumbboards, an emphasis on messaging, and all around usablity are the keys to success. Devices such as RIM's BlackBerry 8700/8800 and Palm's Treo 680/750/755p models head out this group as the benchmarks for usability and style.

Nokia's initial forray into this arena was the E61. As its first QWERTY communicator device, it was received well by only a few. Problems with usability and an unclear product focus made it a hard peg for consumers to fit well. It didn't help that in bringing this smartphone to the U.S., Nokia stripped the E61 of Wi-Fi and a few other programs, making an essentially underspeced model in the E62.

The E61i was released in an effort to correct issues with the original E61, and also to give the world audience something not named Treo or BlackBerry to consider when looking for a solid smartphone communicator.

Sharp SX862

Although Sharp mobile phones are a familiar sight in Japan, elsewhere in the world have become a kind of "forgotten brand" with a series of unexciting phones that are nothing like the high-tech devices sold in the Japanese market. A few years ago, Sharp was virtually the market leader in terms of technical wizardry. Sharp introduced QVGA screens with the GX20 in 2003, 1.3 and 2.0 megapixel camera phones with Sharp GX30 and 902, followed by a 3.2-megapixel Sharp 903 in 2005. In fact, the specifications of the three-year-old Sharp 903 are still competitive today. You could say that Sharp was ahead of its time, and maybe that was part of the problem .. the 902 and 903 were 3G Trailblazers at a time when consumers were simply not interested in 3G devices. So, instead of producing high-end phones, Sharp began to arrive with cheaper phones, as the GX25. These are sold moderately well, but there's little benefit in this type of phone. The question becomes more complicated when V...
