The Motorola Rokr E8 was love at first sight. With its futuristic design and music as its central theme, this was one gizmo that I’d been waiting for. But more than the music, it was the technology within this smart thing that excited me. Instead of a keypad, it has a smooth glass like surface with touch-pad controls that digitally morph depending on how the handset is used. As you shift from phone to music to camera modes, the backlight changes to illuminate only the buttons you need for your current function. For the first few days, you may feel awkward with the buttons, but then you’ll be hooked to this pad less beauty.

Time to graduate for those still grappling with monochrome cellphones! Before taking on the highly Jazzed-up techie phones, test your skills on the entry-level gadgets from Nokia.

Nokia 2600 Classic

You can customize it with colorful, fully replaceable covers and mp3 ring tones. Also features VGA camera, MMS support and FM radio.

Nokia 1209

Has a prepaid tracker and cost-tracking application for those plagued by high phone bills. Comes with one-piece key mat offering durability and reliability.

Though this cell phone has everything you’d want from one, there are still a lot of gaps. The MS office applications, QWERTY keypad and the side-sliding 2.8″ display give the feel of a handheld laptop. The camera has a 3 meg resolution but is nothing to write home about. At first glance, it first seems pretty stylised but as you use it, its life bulkiness pinches you. The battery life is average and the performance gets slightly sluggish at times.

HOT Verdict: Could easily have been one of the best communication devices to hit the market but it’s just a decent PDA with some extra features, compared to regular Windows Mobile devices.

And here’s what we call a real music phone. After all, what’s great music without quality speakers? Fly MC100’s audio engine is powered by Yamaha making this phone a mini sonic powerhouse. It also has entertainment features like a 2 meg camera, MPEG4 encoder/decoder and FM radio. It also has TV out and PC sync capability, allowing you to connect it to your telly or PC.

So we were talking about statement-making gadget exteriors-making gadget exteriors and this cell phone landed in our lap. Motorola’s Razr2 V8 Lux is a product that any party animal worth his mojito would love to carry. Bathed in gold and clothes in a snake-like skin, it includes a full suite of features and accessories for conscious consumers seeking a glamorous design. It’s been decked with a 2 megapixel camera and can zoom up to 8X with a capability of two hours of video capture.

The stylish smartphone makers are out with another amazing product – the HTC P3470.

Combining its sleek design, large screen, navigation wheel, and macro lens, the P3470 sets a new standard in the affordable smartphone variants coupled with GPS-based devices. Go places!

If the name’s Fly Hummer, you bet we’re interested. And if it can live up to its name, it surely will be one helluva of a cell phone. This phone’s color is too in-your-face but then that’s exactly what adds extra zing to it! It comes with a 262k color LCD touchscreen, 2 meg camera and 256 MB storage card. Another thing to note in this phone is its TV out feature.

With ‘TV out’, a device can provide analog video signal acceptable for Tv input. So, you can watch your phone videos on a larger screen!

If a smart phone could make a dumb guy smart, the Moto Q9h would be on the hit-list of many men! This quad-band pro, 3G phone with QWERTY keypad surely clinches the look good factor, but then isn’t that the easy part? What we need to know is if its TIOMAP 2420 processor can match up to the rest of the smarties in town…
