With its 16GB built-in memory, Galaxy S is designed for heavy multimedia users. After all, Samsung is offering the best for Galaxy S.

The Corby, a battery, a charger, a stylus, a data cable, a handsfree set, two extra rear panels and a user’s guide.
The Corby is incredibly compact which measures 103 x 56.5 x 12 mm. The all plastic construction certainly helps it keep its weight at 90 grams. The 2.8" touchscreen is very responsive, which requires only a touch rather than a push to register a click. On the left side of the phone, it hosts the lanyard eyelet, followed by the volume rocker in the middle and the proprietary connectivity port beneath for plugging in a charger, data cable and headset............

I am always impressed with the marketability of LG’s phone. You can tell right away who LG GD580 is targeting at. From its name “Lollipop” to the dynamic and colorful finish to flashy LED icons; LG GD580 is a demonstration of youthful spirit from head to toe. It can be thought as LG’s answer to Samsung’s tasty Croby. Can Lollipop satisfy our appetite for a fantastic phone or is it just some artificial sweetener that looks better than it actually is? The phone is wrapped among a battery, a charger, a data cable, a handsfree, a CD ROM and a user’s guide.
The design of the clamshell phone is class. The rather simplistic cover is embellished with LED lighting. It is slim (13.4mm) and light (103.5g) for a flipphone. The phone can absolutely be a perfect piece of accessory. You have got a 2.8” screen with 240x400 pixel resolution. There is a 1.3MP camera on the inside for you to video-call your buddies. I am always a fan of flipphone not only because the phone screen is more protected, flip phone allows more room for a spacious keyboard. The square buttons you see here is the volume rocker. You have eachHere lies the handsfree/cable portal. I am still bothered with the fact that it has no 3.5mm jack. on either side and you also find the data transfer portal here on the left side.The camera is good one for social occasions. Its wide-screen capability and self-timer is perfect for a party group photo. You have a series of photo-editing tool to fit your creative persona. I am also pleased with the auto sensor that mutes the phone as you reverse it when it rings. You can access the MicroSD and SIM card slot only when you remove the battery cover. That’s the price to pay when you have such slimness.
Like Corby, you have got really cute theme to match the phone’s youthful character. (Perhaps a little too cute for macho men, but I am sure the cheerleader girlfriends would like them!)We first encountered the customizable LED front light in LG’s KF350 Ice Cream. However, that of Lollipop is stronger and better. You can choose different flashing patterns for different situations. The illuminated area is bigger to allow more creative outputs. Other than choosing from the 12 preset icons. You can design your own logos and short motto. I do think it’s interesting. Other than looking glamorous and catchy, LG Lollipop is a practical phone. It has HSDPA connection which is missing from Samsung Corby, Google Package, video calling, Bluetooth 2.0 and FM tuner. If you are young at heart and want a phone to match your uplifting personality. LG Lollipop will not let you down.

Hey, folks! See what we got in hand? The successor to the Xperia X1, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X2 with full of industry leading features- the first Windows phone runs Windows Mobile 6.5 and sports 8MP camera with touch focus, bringing Flash support in Internet Explorer Mobile and Microsoft's app store, larger display, new keyboard and navigational keys design. Let’s show you what to expect from the first Windows phone of Sony Ericsson. In the package, we have the phone, a Battery, a charger, a handsfree, a USB cable, TV-out cable and Manual. Most of the front of X2 is taken by the 3.2” touch screen which is bigger than the previous (X1 got 3” only), and it's a real fingerprint magnet. Here is the one in Silver. The 4-row QWERTY keyboard of X2 features a new overall design, which is distinctive in terms of shape and design compared to X1. Here is the one in Black. We are definitely pleased at the QWERTY keyboard of X2, as it is very responsive. The only thing is that the plastic material doesn't impress at all. On the top of X2, we find the 3.5mm audio jack which also doubles as a TV-out port. And the power key is just along with it- the same position as on the previous X1.
The back of the X2 is made from stainless steel (actually, it seems like plastic) and is quite immune to fingerprints. It hosts the 8.1MP autofocus camera with LED flash, and the lanyard eyelet is just next to it. On the left side of the device, you may find the microSD slot. It is only accessible after the removal of the back cover. The new version of the Internet Explorer Mobile web browser has received a nicer touch-optimized interface and a cooler design. The large optical trackpad on the front panel is providing high level of enjoyment as well when you brows on the web. For sure, Sony Ericsson is always synonymous with portable media players and cameras. 8.1 MP camera with the Multi Menu packing all the available settings to facilitate the user experience. The X2 runs on Win6.5 which upgrades the old-school ver. 6.1 with a brand-new and much prettier homescreen- displays all your applications and links to system functions in a honeycomb grid and consists of a scrollable list, as on the iPhone. And The Xpanel interface is still there with 14 panels preloaded on the smartphone and 16 others available for download, including those for Skype, CNN, and Google. With all interface improvements and 8MP camera onboard, the Sony Ericson X2 is the top and high-end Windows-powered handsets which give a good run for you money.

Sony Ericsson always comes out with stylish phone. One of the good examples is the Sony Ericsson T707. Now passing the crown to the dainty Sony Ericsson Jalou, the “facet cut jewel form” is getting in the spotlight. With the attractive outlook in compact size and glossary mirror, it seems to be a tiny treasure for the pretty women. Well, let’s find out more about it.
It comes with standard stuff: a Battery, a Charger, a handsfree and Manual. Jalou is in diamond shape and a lot less tall than most clamshell phones, measuring just 73 x 45 x 18.2mm when closed. You can easily fit it to the pocket of your skinny jeans or jacket pocket. The outer display which located in the middle of the concave upper panel is for notifying you of incoming calls, received message and shows the time and the information about the song that’s being played.
Jalou is very compact even when you flip it open. Sony Ericsson has gone for this unusual size to make the phone as compact as possible to be a pocket-friendly diamond to the lovely ladies. All the number keys are manufactured in the shape of a rhombus but a bit tiny, together with the diamond D-pad. It looks very stylish. The volume rocker is on the right of the phone. And the connectivity port is at the left side. Remove the battery to reveal the microSD card slot. Standard Sony Ericsson Menu and icons in black and white.
It got the shortcut menu to keep all your favorable apps. Jalou is unashamedly girlie phone with fashion outlook, a 3.2 MP camera, microSD expandable memory, stereo Bluetooth, FM radio and a multimedia player, comes in reasonable price plus an ultra-reflective panel to check your hair before a hot date. That would be a pretty cool thing to have a fashion phone like this. But, you need to forgo the giant touchscreen, better camera. Actually, different people have different needs against the phone. Jalou is for those who seek of user-friendly and fashionable style.

Has anyone had any experience using an i9000 in Canada on either of the three big networks (Bell, Rogers and Telus)? What I need to know is if it'll work well in HSDPA mode given that it only has one (1900) of the two required Canadian HSDPA bands (850 and 1900). What bothers me it that it looks like the one Bell is launching (the "Vibrant") has only two HSDPA bands instead of three, and I really need the European band as well (2100). Hence Bell's Vibrant won't work in HSDPA mode in Europe.

I have taken some pictures with my phone, Xperia Mini Pro but I cannot view the pictures after it was taken in the picture gallery. This happened for certain pictures that i took. I've tried to review it in my laptop but still can't. I've checked the pictures details and noted that it were around 600kb and 1MB which meant the pictures are there but I can't view it.

I'm in a bit of a sticky situation. I cracked my LCD, the LCD not glass panal, somehow... I have pictures on my phone I NEED to get off, except Samsung Kies requires me to enter my passcode in order to sync it. I can't enter in my passcode because the LCD is cracked, and thus does not work. Is there anyway I can get the photos off my phone? Or am I SOL?

My pictures in the Samsung Gallery app are a lot duller than when I took them or where I downloaded them. It's strange because when I minimize the Gallery app, you can see it revert to the richer color version of the photo. I don't get it? So when I take photos with my camera the preview of it never looks good because it previews from Gallery. It's kinda greyish looking and not as vibrant. How do I resolve this?

I'm using 2.3.6 on my first Android phone. I moved some photos from my PC to the phone (no SD card) and during the copy process I received a message - "may not be compatible with device". I can see them in my gallery but get no response when I try to select one of them for wallpaper. If I tap it, the photo is isolated and that's it. No response from menu icon. There are forward/backward arrows at bottom of screen and tapping them just gets me the date I copied the photo to the phone.

I started to transfer my pictures from my phone to my computer and realized that all of them didn't transfer, even though they show up in Gallery and Photos. When I started looking at the folder structure on my phone while I had it connected to my computer, I found pictures in other folders. How many different folders are used to store pictures and is there a way I can get them to save to the same place so I can transfer them more easily. The ones that seem to be in different folders are the ones I've saved from texts and emails. They're in 2 different folders. I'm worried that I'm going to miss others because I don't know where they are.

I backed up all photos from my old phone Samsung s4 (which is now completely dead) and transferred them to the new one Samsung s6. Apparently they can be only seen on a APP called photos but not on my gallery. How can I move them.

I've been an iPhone user from the 3 to the 5S but decided to give the Android a shot and altho I like many of the phones features, the camera isn't producing pic's anywhere as good as my old iPhone 5S did ...
Stationary shots are fine, but I have 2 dogs and like to photograph them running around and doing their thing, and so far the S5 has been terrible with results. I've tried every setting on the phone. I've DL the 'Sports Shot' mode, but still all I get is a heap of blurry shots. In an hour at the local doggy park I'll take 50 - 60 shots and end up keeping 3 or 4 as the rest are blurred.
Now I REALLY want this phone to work for me, but as I say I'm not having much luck with pics, the video is fine, but yeah, not cutting it with the pictures...
For example.
iPhone 5S...
Samsung S5
As you see the iPhone has produced a picture that is better in every way from what I see.

My Samsung S2 has had water damage, and although replacing the USB port allowed me to be able to continue using the phone, the pictures coming out of the camera now have flared/blown-out highlights, as if a glowy/milky filter has been applied to them (see samples attached), regardless of shooting conditions. Needless to say, before this happened, pictures did not have such artefacts.
Has anyone experienced a similar problem? My guess is that the inside of the lens got a bit soiled while the phone was opened for repairs. In this case, I'm wondering if it would be worth opening the phone up again and using a lens wiper to clean the lens. However, I've never opened the phone up beyond the battery cover, and looking at how-to videos such as this, it seems that a lot can be broken without due care.

Does anyone know of how I would possibly be able to retrieve photos from my Samsung Galaxy S2 that has a non-fuctioning screen? The rest of the phone works - it charges, turns on (the 4 buttons light up as well as the light on the top) and the speakers for the ringtones and alerts works as well. I am desperate to get the pictures and am seeking all advice possible.
