Samsung has released a very cheerful video trailer for its upcoming ChatON service, which will bring enhanced instant messaging to Android, iOS, Bada and even all those billions of pre-smartphone-era “feature phones” still out there.
Promising a “global” communications service, ChatON will arrive in 120 countries next month. Here’s me (left), trying it out with a couple of my platonic friends:
The introduction video has excellent music and goes far beyond the usual corporate productions, illustrating the new “AMS” (Animation Message Service) animated message tool Samsung has invented and much more.
Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.
