If you work in an organization with no image capturing equipment policy, look here! The HTC Touch2 non-camera phone was released recently, adding itself to the list of non-camera smart phones (Nokia E51, Sony Ericsson G700, HTC Snap, Gigabyte Gsmart S1200, etc).
But is the HTC Touch2 non-camera the phone you are waiting for? Or you are hoping that Apple releases iPhone non-camera? Well, while you are waiting for Steve Job to announce it (if iPhone non-camera even exists) and you don’t mind a WinMo (Windows Mobile) phone, probably you can give the HTC Touch2 a try.
Bought the HTC Touch2 non-camera just a while back and been using it for perhaps 2 weeks or so. Let me jot down my review of this phone.

The Nokia X6 is the latest Symbian-based music phone with 32GB of on-board memory, 3.2inch capacitive touch screen, packed in a candy bar form-factor. Best of all, Nokia has thrown in Comes with Music for the 32GB version, allowing you access to the hottest hits anytime.
The 13.8mm thick Nokia X6 doesn’t come with any slider keyboard. In fact, physical keyboard is redundant due to the capacitive touch screen. Why have a physical keyboard when you have a on screen keyboard? Buttons are also kept to a minimal on the Nokia X6 – Power & USB on the top; Volume controls, unlock & camera on the right side; and SIM card slot on the left of it screen. That’s all.

Nokia E66!
Went out with family today and saw this handphone. It does look really sleek compared to the one I am holding. Mobile plan reached 21 months + $100 upgrade voucher = new handphone. Andy burnt another hole in the pockets. Satisfied with the purchase!

Like the accelerometer on the 6120 Navigator! The the E66 would also have it! As usual, phones that are non e-series tends to lag. Too laggy for my liking though. However, the navigation features really does help! Finding your way in the metropolitan is much easier cos it shows you your heading! Pretty niffy for such a small device.
Not really used to the Nokia E71. Probably because it is the first time I used one with a full qwerty keyboard. At first I thought the buttons would be too small but I was wrong. The buttons were really comfy after typing some text messages. Bye bye E71. Will be missing you.
N78 has quite a fair bit of fanciful transitions in its menu. For example, when switching from the main menu to camera mode, the screen would shrink, fade out and at the same time rotate to landscape mode while the camera interface zooms and fades into view.
Almost all of the main menu items has got transition effects! These transitions, althought visually appealing, seems to have an impact on the navigation experience. The whole phone seems to be lagging from these effects. Sometimes the soft buttons fail to respond to user’s input. Laggy system again?
Can somebody tell me how do I disable all these fanciful transitions?
