If there was any doubt that Levi’s would push through with its own cell phone, those qualms have been squashed. Together with Fly Mobile, the jeans company came up with its own cell phone that would surely please enthusiasts of the well-known brand and may also attract those who are simply curious enough of what the talked-about product could very well offer.

It is at 4 ounces and comes in metallic casing. Yes, there are rivets so that would evoke memories of your pair of Levi’s denim jeans. The 1.76 inch screen has a resolution of 220 x 176 pixels. It comes with a 2 megapixel camera and a resolution of 1600 x 1200 megapixels. There is a media player that supports MID, IMY, WAV, AMR, AAC, and MP3 files. It is also equipped with WAP 2.0 or GPRS class 8 for Internet buffs as well.

It also has Bluetooth 1.2 A2DP interface. That being said, it is only available to Russian consumers. So, that is a bit fo a problem for a lot of people.

We have been featuring a lot of cell phones that quite frankly miss the mark simply because it lacks the 3G support that a lot of consumers out there have been craving for lately. So, in the spirit of fairness, we are featuring a cell phone that misses the mark even with the presence of 3G support.

The Samsung SCH-U550 is 3G capable. That is a plus, for sure. At 3.77 x 1.95 x 0.64 inches and weighing in at 3.35 ounces, it is definitely portable. It even offers stereo Bluetooth. That said, it does not look the part. The design is generic at best. The controls are clumsily done. It does not look the part of a capable phone.

Not that the performance makes up for it either. The call quality is insufferable and reviews have been mixed as well in terms of the feature set, especially in the multimedia part. The photo quality, for starters, is a disappointment. So, the Samsung SCH-U550 is a dour letdown as well.

Nokia adds another feather to its cap in terms of smart phones with their latest in the E series. The Nokia E90 Communicator is a one huge asset to the company, literally and figuratively. It is quite a heavy hitter in terms of performance and weight but it sure comes in a mammoth package.

Of course, it should be noted that without any semblance of 3G support, it is quite a letdown. However, if you could get past that fact then it is rosy all the way thru. At 5.2 by 2.2 by 0.7 inches and weighing in at 7.4 ounces, this is a big piece of mobile gadgetry. The exterior screen is a beauty at 2 inches diagonally, with a 16 million color display and a 320 x 240 pixel resolution.

The internal display, on the other hand, is 3.6 inches wide and has a 16 million color output and cool 800 x 352 pixel resolution. There is of course the full QWERTY keyboard. As for the features and performance, it is loaded with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and GPS support and even a 3.2 megapixel camera.
