Little money in your pocket and a good phone for you. Is Nokia C2-01? A still camera, 3 G and a memory card slot audio that we're on the right track. In contrast to the C2-00, this rules out dual SIM handling, but there are other goodies to compensate.

IT's a cheap phone alright, nothing too exciting, nothing to shout about. But Nokia C2-01 deserves a little credit for a number of nice little clip functions in their budget. 3.2MP still imaging lets it refreshing after a primary VGA camera recently. Data rates top edge and a microSD card slot means there's more than enough space for your music collection. One 3.5 mm line-in input may be better than expected for the price you pay.

We have no complaints (seriously, it's 2011 and S40 still lacks smart dialing) but C2-01 looks pretty decent. Arguably, hold the lack of support for dual SIM against Nokia C2-01. This feature is of course up to the most basic phones in the C series. C2-01 is a budget phone but not as much of a penny pincher.

You know, phones with a flashlight has long been at the bottom of Nokia barrels. Recently it's dual SIM phones. C2-01 is a good one, either. Now, how good or how bad is this? Skip to the next page, when we are trying to find out.

But there're other questions will be answered first. What's in the box? Is Nokia C2-01 sustainable? Tour of the phone's hardware is to start.

Mini is supposed to be cheaper, stripped version of the larger and superior gadgets. There's been a long list of larger and superior siblings for Samsung Galaxy Mini S5570 to choose from but the own legs to stand on.

Galaxy Mini is, therefore, the last shake off the bag. It will never rub shoulders with big and scary smartphones. But it's not everything bad you know. Not bad at all, in fact for what essentially is an entry-level smartphone with full connectivity, social networks, internet, Android apps and music. IT's the right type of device for smartphone beginner. A good choice if you just don t want to spend a lorry-load of money on a smartphone.

With this single, Samsung looks to encourage their loyal users to consider a smartphone. Versatility and ease of use allow Android very inviting. Mini has specifications for backing up too.

Budget-conscious user, a number of competing handsets to choose from and Samsung Galaxy Mini must work harder to get noticed. But the right price tag will put it on the radar of young, novice smartphone users. That gives the Mini one to begin with.

Samsung Galaxy ACE can go a long way with a name like this, but it isn t that goes slightly longer than its convenient midrange site. You know, if you want the best seat in the House, you must move the cat. Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 is a feline droid black cat in Samsung's Android portfolio. And it spells bad luck for competitive mid-range droids is a force to be reckoned with in the world's smartphones.

With that kind of specifications, was Galaxy Ace gone for a high-end phone for some time now. So if your processing power and screen estate, haven t have risen sharply over the past year or so, Ess serves you well.

In fact with Froyo on a 800 MHz processor, good connection and screen size and resolution that was good enough for the first three iPhone, Samsung Galaxy Ace looks good.

The only drawback with the package is QVGA @ 15 fps video. That may be acceptable on a low-end dumbphone, but depressing in a mid-level Android.

Here's what is going on Ace's spec sheet.

Quad-band GSM and dual-band 3 G support 7.2 Mbps HSDPA support 3.5-inch 16 M color TFT LCD touchscreen in HVGA capacitive (320 x 480 pixels) resolution 800 MHz ARM 11 processor, Adreno 200 GPU, Qualcomm MSM7227 chipset. 278 MB of RAM available for userAndroid OS v2.2 (Froyo) with TouchWiz 3.0 UI customizationSwype text input5 MP autofocus camera with LED flash. Geo tagging, face and smile detectionQVGA @ 15fps videomicroSD card slot (up to 32 GB, 2 GB in the box), Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and DLNAGPS with A-GPS connectivity. Digital Compass microUSB port (fees), and stereo Bluetooth v2.1 Standard 3.5 mm audio jackDNSe sound enhancementFM radio with RDS document editor File manager pre-installed Samsung Apps gives some nice apps for freeAccelerometer and proximity sensor recording QVGA video Dis group @ 15 fps, no shutter key for cameraNo support for Adobe Flash in the web browserNo ambient light sensorNo DivX/Xvid video support in box

So, the video is not good, but still the camera should do pretty well. Samsung's refined TouchWiz 3.0 with document editor and file manager of the box, get good scores for Galaxy Ace too.

The phone is quite compact and we would like in particular to new a rubbery textured reverse side. There's nothing to be concerned in terms of ergonomics and pocketability, but these definitely iPhone-ish look a little dubious.

That's about all we can tell just by looking over the phone and it's the second time we meet the Samsung Ace. You can also remember our quick preview from a while back. IT's now time to see how Samsung Galaxy Ace are ready for the real world and we are starting with the hardware.

Success begets imitations and we have the next Galaxy's remake to testify. But make no mistake about this Samsung Galaxy I9003 SL is not just a clone. This time, the changes aren't just for the skin depth.

We are discussing a new monitor, a new CPU and another battery. Although it's actually difficult to notice a difference on the outside, save for a slightly thicker. Most of the internals have in principle been replaced, which may or may not have resulted in a significant change in the user experience.

Samsung Galaxy I9003 SL is a victim of the time. It couldn't have been less fortunate to follow in the footsteps of the original Galaxy's knowing it will never be able to catch up. At least the Samsung should know very well what you expect.

This is not the first flagship they re forced by circumstances, legitimately to replace. Much as S8530 Wave II is I9003 more of a substitute, rather than an upgrade. You can think I9003 SL as a way to ensure that there will be enough AMOLED panels for Galaxy S2 without having to interrupt the original Galaxy's altogether.

AMOLED shortage is experienced for at least another simultaneously and Samsung is trying to work around it. We'll have to see how this plays the next attempt. I9003 has a lot of people to convince the it's a good enough substitute. Users have every right to be sceptical. It will take a lot of persuasion, so they don't spend their money elsewhere.

So let s see if there's life after SuperAMOLED for Galaxy SL.

Samsung Galaxy 551 is something that should have happened a long time ago. This is not to say that the form factor was in service with Samsung. But it took a slew of CDMA messengers to finally see a QWERTY side-slider to land in Europe.

Android debuted on a full QWERTY phone, but the Messenger was never meant to be the dominant species. Galaxy 551 is pragmatic to accept and live with it. Samsung himself knows better than expecting the market to embrace more QWERTY Messenger skill and size of the Motorola milestone or HTC desire Z.

Galaxy 551 looks forward to make a big splash, It's part of a larger effort to provide some depth in the Galaxy lineup from the registry. With Froyo and enhanced connectivity sensible Samsung Galaxy 551 perfect in the segment of affordable smart messengers.

Galaxy 551 well stay out in the way of heavyweight Droid messengers. But some of the omissions of its spec sheet is surprising. In view of the QWERTY keyboard, a document editor would've made sense but the phone actually does not have a document viewer to begin with, although Samsung's traditional fast codec support has been affected by cost savings. The bottom line is obviously to Froyo, Wi-Fi and a QWERTY keyboard is more than enough for the money you spend on Galaxy 551.
