Sony Ericsson T650
The Sony Ericsson T650 is the successor of the successful T610
midrange handset. There's nothing midrange about the T650 features though!
It boasts a 3.2 megapixel camera with auto focus and video modes, Bluetooth
v2.0 with stereo support, and 3G video calling all in a slim attractive candy
bar shape.

Design features of the Sony Ericsson T650 include the stainless steel finish, 1.9" 262K color TFT display with a QVGA resolution, a scratch-proof mineral glass and innovative bright colours. The T650 also comes with some nice illumination effects which are linked to on-screen animations.
Continuing Sony Ericsson's commitment to music, the T650 benefits from an FM radio, MP3 player and Track ID service as well as offering memory expansion through the in-built Memory Stick Micro slot.
The Sony Ericsson T650 is available in Growing Green and Midnight Blue colours.

Samsung G600
The Samsung G600 represents another step forward in the race for a high quality camera integrated in to a stylish phone, small enough to use every day. Sure the Samsung G600 isn't the first mobile with a 5 mega pixel camera but it is likely to be one of the smallest at 102 x 47.8 x 14.9 mm and weighing only 105g.

The camera is complimented by auto focus, an image stabilizer, video and flash options. Storage of images and other files is possible on 55Mb of internal memory or via a Micro SD card inserted into the slot also provided. Other features of the Samsung G600 slider are Bluetooth with A2DP, a 2.2 inch display, MP3 player and FM radio.

Motorola RAZR V8
The Motorola RAZR2 V8 can trace its roots back to the popular Motorola RAZR V3. This was the phone which paved the way for the ultra slim trend in the mobile world.
The RAZR2 V8 comes equipped with a main 2.2" 262K colour TFT display with
a QVGA (320x240 pixels) resolution plus a really large secondary 2" 262K
colour TFT display with a QVGA resolution too. The Motorola RAZR2 V8 has quad-band
GSM/EDGE network support.

The Motorola RAZR2 supports stereo Bluetooth, it has a microUSB slot for data connections and attaching headphones and will certainly take great photo's with its 2 megapixel camera.
The Motorola RAZR2 V8 has external touch-sensitive music keys, plus high-quality MPEG 4 video capture and playback and speaker independent voice dialing. The touch sensitive keys are in fact part of the external display. Furthermore the keys come with a clever feedback (haptics) technology. The handset produces slight vibrations every time the touch-sensitive key is pressed. RAZR2 V8 is powered by an ARM 11 processor which makes it faster than any of the previous RAZR models.
The Motorola RAZR2 V8 also boasts a new Linux/Java user interface and will be with 512MB of on board memory available. But it won't have a memory card slot.
