The Sony Ericsson C510 was recently made official. The C510 is the latest in the Sony Ericsson Cyber-Shot family and is supposed to be a smooth improvement over previous editions. This new model, is expected to be a little more affordable and yet offer the same quality cameraphone technology that is expected from Cyber-Shot.

A new feature arriving on the C510 is the introduction of Smile Shutter. This new feature allows the user to capture the smiles of freinds and family effortlessly by detecting the smile and immediately taking the photo.

Finally! Sony has managed to end the saying of the word “CHEESE!”

An added benefit to this uber-communication device, is that it is in the midrange of handset prices. So if you’re looking for a device that isn’t your standard expensive smartphone, but will keep you in touch will all your friends and relatives, this could be your device.

Nokia 5800 Xpress Music reviewed

The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is clearly designed for the music lover who isn’t interested in any other feature. You might say to this person, “would you like QWERTY?” and they’ll just be like “is that a band? Because music is where it’s at.” The 5800 is the world’s first Symbian S60 5th Edition touchscreen mobile phone and Nokia’s first proper attempt at a dedicated touchscreen handset. Although I wouldn’t consider it Nokia’s flagship touchscreen, that is obviously the N97. In any case, the 5800 is shaping up to be a really decent phone.

he new Samsung Armani M7500 aka the Night Effect is now available for sale in the UK. The device is an upgrade from the previous P520 yet it may seem to be somewhat downgraded, having favored a slim candybar to the earlier device’s touchscreen.

Although this device isn’t about to blow you away with features and innovation, it appeals to an Armani principle of simplicity. When I showed this phone to a designer friend of mine, he said it looks awesome and he would definitely buy it. It was then that I realized that fashion designers don’t care about playing accelerometer based games on their phone and prefer sleek to geek.
