'Here's an easy proclamation: The G2 is the best smartphone with a keyboard on T-Mobile. '
'most powerful Google OS phone'
'Your contact list is connected to your Facebook and social network accounts, and the phone even helps you create a separate smart folder on the desktop to collect just your Facebook numbers. '
'The Hero has a softness in the casing that feels really nice in the hand for long phone calls.'
'The Cliq, with Motorola's Motoblur software for gathering information from social networks, is a decidedly consumer-friendly phone that makes the Droid feel deadly serious in comparison. '
'The keyboard is decent-- a good thing for a social networking and messaging oriented phone.'
'reliable mobile Web experience'
'And despite the sliding keyboard, the phone still feels fairly slim. '
'Navigation is identical to the previous phone, the touchscreen gestures are intuitive and the Magic responds to these well.'
'Short on juice Battery life is acceptable but not outstanding, not least because the Magic is always chatting away with the internet to deliver and receive your emails.'
'in most instances touching the screen is easier.'
'Streaming video looked impressive though, or at least it did once we'd discovered the 'watch in high quality' button in the menu.'
'The phone also offers various shooting modes (Single shot, Self shot, Beauty, Smile shot, Continuous and Panorama), scene modes and camera settings like exposure value, timer, white balance, resolution and effects. '
'Slim.'
'The phone measures 122.4mm x 64.2mm x 9.9mm (4.81in x 2.52in x .38in) also comes with the Swype virtual QWERTY keyboard for quick and accurate text input, ThinkFree for opening and editing Microsoft Office 2007 documents, and a cradle that lets the device double as a photo frame, alarm clock, calendar, or music station. '
'The large 4-inch Super AMOLED display delivers unrivalled screen quality, with less reflection, free viewing angles and super-fast touch-response. '
'The overall feel of the phone mirrors that of the Samsung Jet - it has a similar (if larger) layout on the back of the phone, and has a weird spring-like response when you tap it as the haptic feedback device inside is clearly finely balanced.'
'good phone'
'The Samsung Galaxy Portal is a pretty nice device overall. '
'Bad battery life • Poor multimedia support • Touchscreen isn't as responsive as we'd like.'
