Much better than cheap Android phones Good Polish unlike Android back in the day that had a lot of rough edges In between iOS and Android but closer to iOS Find my phone Sky Drive Integration Save Photos automatically can’t seem to enable only on WiFi so may be hazardous to your 3G data doesn’t upload screenshots Office Documents synced in the cloud Office Can create and edit Word and Excel files offline Can view Powerpoint files Bluetooth transfer data migration Consolidated settings (like iOS) but also and in app Glove usage! https://cornergeeks.com/2012/02/15/bdfone-a2w-the-brunei-made-android-phone/ Wed, 15 Feb 2012 02:46:17 +0000 https://cornergeeks.com/2012/02/15/bdfone-a2w-the-brunei-made-android-phone/ It seems that bdfone has finally released their first Android phone: the bdfone A2W. I previously mentioned them having a prototype over 1.5 years ago but it seems that they have finally got a production unit. From their Facebook page it seems to have started selling in December (in my last of connectivity, I must have missed it). It is currently priced at B$290 on QQeStore They have hit a good price point, but with an older version of Android (not even 2. https://cornergeeks.com/2012/01/23/ces-2012-phone-roundup/ Mon, 23 Jan 2012 01:58:54 +0000 https://cornergeeks.com/2012/01/23/ces-2012-phone-roundup/ Overview of Devices: HTC Titan II: huge phone (4.7" screen) with a 16 megapixel camera Nokia Lumia 900: Nokia’s first truly competitive Windows Phone device (previous had no front facing camera) Huawei Ascend P1 S and P1: Super slim Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) device Lenovo K800: First Intel Atom powered Android (2.3) phone with a 720p screen Lenovo LePhone S2: Unique gesture area for an Android (2.3) phone with iPhone 4S screen resolution (960x540) Sony Xperia Ion: big LTE phone (4. https://cornergeeks.com/2011/12/20/huawei-ideos-x5/ Tue, 20 Dec 2011 09:17:16 +0000 https://cornergeeks.com/2011/12/20/huawei-ideos-x5/ I managed to take a look at the Huawei Ideos X5 that I first laid hands on at the TechXpo 2011. It is a very decent device at an affordable price of B$399. My only gripe is the lack of a front facing camera which means you will not be able to do normal video chats. If it had a front facing camera, this device would be one of the best budget Android phones. https://cornergeeks.com/2011/11/30/the-bmobile-pure-budget-android-phone/ Wed, 30 Nov 2011 06:14:13 +0000 https://cornergeeks.com/2011/11/30/the-bmobile-pure-budget-android-phone/ The bmobile Pure is a budget Android phone running Android 2.2 and has pretty device specs but a pretty good 3.8" high resolution screen. The high resolution 3.8" screen makes it nice to read and surf the Internet but the 256MB RAM may be limiting for multi-tasking and general smoothness of the device. I was not able to get the Flash apk to try install and test Flash on the device but the 600 MHz CPU may not be capable of Flash, so I wouldn’t expect it to run. https://cornergeeks.com/2011/10/16/sony-ericsson-live-with-walkman-available-in-brunei-for-b350-at-incomm-and-qqestore/ Sun, 16 Oct 2011 07:37:58 +0000 https://cornergeeks.com/2011/10/16/sony-ericsson-live-with-walkman-available-in-brunei-for-b350-at-incomm-and-qqestore/ Seems like a great budget Android phone with a slightly larger screen than the Xperia Mini pro but without a keyboard to make it more svelte. Seems to share all the same common good specifications for a budget phone but a slightly larger screen and slightly cheaper at B$350. Quick Specifications- Android 2.3 320 x 480 pixels, 3.2" capacitive screen 1GHz Processor 512MB RAM 320MB for applications 5 megapixel camera w/ 720p video Front facing VGA camera xLOUD™ loudness enhancement makes it possible to listen loud without distortion. https://cornergeeks.com/2011/08/08/sony-ericsson-xperia-mini-pro-a-great-budget-android-phone/ Mon, 08 Aug 2011 15:30:47 +0000 https://cornergeeks.com/2011/08/08/sony-ericsson-xperia-mini-pro-a-great-budget-android-phone/ Among my usual habits, I will check availability and prices of phones on Incomm and I was surprised to see the Xperia Mini Pro going for B$378. This phone seems to be a phone I would buy, if I didn’t buy my LG Optimus One, as a great budget Android phone which seems to have the least compromises. Check out the video that I managed to get at Incomm as I played with the device.
