Motorola Hint QA30

Design
The Hint isn't a perfect square (3.32 inches by 2.43 inches by 0.6 inch), but its distinctive shape is unmistakable. Unfortunately, that's where the Hint's good design points end. The toggle and OK button double as music player controls, but when the phone is in standby mode we'd prefer that the OK button open the main menu instead of the Web browser. Though the toggle is large, the soft keys, music player shortcut, and back control are tiny.
The Hint's keyboard is small and rather difficult to use.
The keyboard is rather small, though we realize that a bigger keyboard would result in a bigger phone. The remaining keys include a symbol/shift control, back and delete buttons, and shortcuts for the messaging folder, the camera, the speakerphone (nice), the camera, and the Web browser.
Features
Te Hint has a 700-contact phone book with room in each entry for five phone numbers, two e-mail addresses, a birthday, URL, a street address, and notes. The Hint also offers a voice recorder, text and multimedia messaging, stereo Bluetooth, and voice dialing.
The Hint's camera lacks a flash and a self-portrait mirror.
Photo quality was decent. The Hint's card slot will accommodate microSD cards up to 8GB.
The Hint has acceptable photo quality.
The music player supports MP3, AAC, AAC+, WAV, and WMA files. You will need a memory card to use the music player--Cricket didn't include a card with our review model.
The Hint offers one game (Bloc Breaker D2) with additional titles available from Cricket.
Performance
We tested the dual-band (CDMA 800/1900) Hint in San Francisco. Call quality was above average. Speakerphone volume was loud and callers could understand us if we spoke close to the phone. The Hint is equipped for 3G (EV-DO) networks, which Cricket operates throughout its home network. Music quality over the external speakers wasn't so impressive. The music player also plays videos. Clips off a memory card looked quite good, though videos we shot with the phone's camera were jerky.

Here’s a nifty device for DMB users in Korea – the Sky IMB-1000 DMB Mobile Phone. The handset allows users to receive DMB signals and display them on a 2.4 inch QVGA touch screen. The phone also supports the TransFlash slot and a 2 MP Digital Camera. Digital Media Broadcasting is currently only available in Korea but expect similar technologies to be rolled out elsewhere.

NOKIA N95 8GB

The Nokia N95 8GB is a little bit more than just the existing N95 with a paint job and memory upgrade - this version of the N95 has a larger screen and enhanced GPS, plus N-Gage gaming.
Underneath the snazzy new exterior, the Nokia N95 8GB packs in an awesome number of features. It's a 3G phone with HSDPA high-speed data, quad-band GSM with GPRS and EDGE and WiFi. The N95 8GB also has stereo Bluetooth, infra-red and USB connectivity.
The camera is one of the N95 8GB's strongest points - it's a 5 megapixel unit with autofocus and Carl Zeiss optics. Video capture resolution is up to 640 x 480 pixels, and the N95 8GB also has a video out port. There's comprehensive multimedia support too, the N95 8GB can play back MP3, AAC, M4A and WMA audio files plus video clips. There's an FM radio too for good measure. The N95 8GB retains the unusual two-way slider mechanism that allows users to switch between the number pad and a set of dedicated media keys.
An addition, there's a web browser, email client and set of personal information management applications. The N95 8GB can also view common email attachment types such as Microsoft Office and PDF files.
As you can guess by the name, the Nokia N95 8GB now has eight gigabytes of internal memory, although unlike the original N95 it does not appear to be possible to add a memory card.
