Sony Ericsson is trying to dance on old tunes. Once again, they have worked for the love of music and for the spirit of music lovers. The concept behind Zylo is derived from it old model Walkman, which surely created a niche for itself. Since the target customers for this type of product are more young and aesthetic in their approach, Sony Ericsson has tried to revamp this market segment.

Zylo is blessed with sleek looks and awesome sound quality. It has 2.6 inch TFT, scratch resistance screen, with 262 thousand-colour refection intensity and a normal numeric keyboard beneath the screen. The connectivity feature is supported by HSDPA and HSUPA. It has 3-mega pixel camera with no auto focus and 24 frames per second VGA quality video recording. Being a music box it has outstanding audio quality, FM radio supported by RDS and stereo Bluetooth. It has an inbuilt memory of 250 MB with micro SD card slot.

The areas where this device surely makes a bleak entry are lack of USB port, 3.5mm audio jack, no memory card, no auto focus and no document viewer. The connectivity of this device lack Wi-Fi and GPS and the display screen is not touch friendly. With all these imperfections, it is still a perfect music jockey for its user and hence goes well for people who are more concerned with music than with other liberating features.

However, in the era of smart phones and cutthroat competition, where people want multiplicity at their fingertip, the existence of Sony Ericsson Zylo with limited features is a big question. As the smart phones are restructuring the market and people’s needs, it is believed that they are breaking the code of simplicity.

After the Google Nexus One, it is HTC turn to unveil the mystery hidden within a sleek, glossy, and sharp sachet. However, Nexus One and HTC Desire have many similarities, but HTC has always been voted for its innovation and high technical aspects. They are the pioneers in the field of smart phones and has emerged as the most popular and trusted brand.

The HTC Desire is a well-equipped gadget that has sense of

providing its user the ease of operation. Desire is backed by Qualcomm’s 1 GHz Snapdragon processor, which makes it

capable of multitasking with low battery consumption. The 3.7 inch and 480X800 WVGA resolution touch screen is highly responsive to multiple touches and hence it gives user the freedom to flip and scroll between applications with a special pinch-to-zoom feature. The screen is radiantly illuminated by 16 m colors, which gives life to pictures and videos.

576 MB RAM and 512 MB ROM, cumulatively build the memory of HTC desire which can certainly be enhanced with the aid of SD micro card, giving it a storing space of 32 GB.

It has 5 mega pixel cameras with face detection, auto focus and flash features, which is also designed to take widescreen shot in most neat and sharp way. The Wi-Fi, EDGE, Bluetooth, and GPRS are the tools to power the Desire’s connectivity and hence facilitating the user to maintain their links.

Since Android has provided the platform for Desires to grow and develop, it has engraved an outstanding feature to this gadget.  With the debut of Sense UI along with HTC

Desire, it is quite sure that HTC will taste more appreciation. The HTC users will have more power to tailor the interface as per their choice. HTC has efficiently worked on noise elimination process in order to carry improved audio clarity.

However, HTC Desire and Google’s Nexus One is close matc

h , but with all these features discussed so far, HTC has ruled over Google’s Nexus One with its exclusive attribute of Sense UI and on the other hand is been ruled out by Google’s Nexus One extraordinary voice command characteristic, which surely gives user a hands free comfort.

Apparently the call from NASA have placed Nexus One ahead of HTC Desire, but since Nexus One has failed to capture markets earlier, it gives HTC a fair chance to cash

his name and trust for Desire to activate the market.

The RDS support gives radio listeners a great way and clarity to tune into FM channels.

The 5 mega pixel cameras with auto focus and face detection along LED flash, motivate the user towards capturing and treasuring every moment of life.

Nokia is the only brand that targets the customers as a whole. They have designed products and catered clients and markets, based on their preferences and needs. Due to the consideration that Nokia has bestowed so far, consumers have always recognized their effort, by exhibiting their brand loyalty.

Although this time along with the news about Nokia’s 5250, there was a rumor, which leaves the brand lover in pensive mood. However, the user manual has disclosed and confirmed about many specifications. One glance at Nokia 5250, it is evident that the touch screen of this device is comparatively smaller. The other attributes that are replicated in this model are 3.5 mm audio jack, SD micro card supporting memory expansion up to 16 GB, FM radio and Bluetooth facility and 2 mega-pixel cameras. All this runs on S60 5th Edition UI operating system.

With ever-increasing demand of smart phones, market penetration for any product is certainly becoming complicated and with Nokia 5250, the absence of expected features, will surely risk its presence. Though Nokia has every time played smart regarding its products existence, but then with lack of flash, small display screen and above all the nonexistence of Wi-Fi, 3G and GPS has pushed and placed the product on limited connectivity section or rather unsatisfied consumer zone. Since the earlier models of Nokia were having a good reception on these features, apparently Nokia 5250 is not cultured enough to represent its ancestors.

This feature deprived smart phone by Nokia has already created a buzz in the market but this time this ring is putting its competitors ahead. Though, the scarcity of these characteristics in a way is compensated by the price of the product, which will easily match the consumers budget.

However Nokia 5250 is a fresh variety and can be formally ranked as a basic level smart phone , but it seems that it will face tough competition from its very own ancestors, especially 5230, which is better equipped and well designed.

The Torch touchscreen is 3.5 inch in size and has resolution of 340 X 480 megapixels. At the base of the screen, there are typical control keys and below that is a vertical slide keypad with 36 buttons.

624 MHz processor will power the Torch’s operating system backed up by 512 MB flash memory.

Its advanced user-friendly interface is more responsive to fingertips and is yet another prominent characteristic of this device. Along with this, it also has upgraded web browser that is fast and standardized.

The other eloquent feature of Torch 9800 includes a 4 GB SD micro memory card, which is expandable up to 32 GB. It also has an auto focus 5 Megapixel camera with image stabilizing and geo tagging feature and a video recording of 640×480. Other regular attributes are its 1300 mAhr battery backup and 3.5 mm headset jack.

With all these features, analyst still does not feel that Torch 9800 is strong contender. The only scaling point is that it has high user-friendly features, which certainly does not provide Torch a very sturdy platform to compete.
