I treated myself to a Windows 7 phone because it’s a new operating system that suits

my needs. I like apps and had an iPhone previously but only used about 2 apps continuously so the fact that there are fewer apps at the moment for W7 didn’t bother me.

I was surprised at how easy and simple everything is on the phone. It auto sync’s with any windows email account and facebook so all your contacts are on your phone. Also you can edit people and link accounts so your contacts are more streamlined. The process of getting apps via the phone is as simple as click and download and they are on your main menu. You can also pin anything to the start menu or delete anything from the start without deleting from your phone, I have my facebook, email, photo’s and music all right where I can get to them easily.

I found transferring files very easy through Zune just drag and drop onto your phone in the bottom left of the screen. Like anything new it does take time to get used too but I promise you, its straightforward and easy to get to grips with the W7 Operating System.

It is an excellent choice for smartphones, Microsoft really have done their homework making it so simple.

Nokia C6-01 reviewIn the hand the C6-01 feels weighty and solid, on the right hand side of the 3.2” AMOLED screen are the volume buttons and Nokia’s slide-to-lock button – all easily accessible with your right hand thumb.

The design is simple with an expensive feel, chrome surrounds the screen on the front and the battery cover is stainless steel. Staying on the back of the phone a dual flash 8MP camera is situated at the top of the back casing, apart from the etched NOKIA logo there’s little else to disturb the smooth lines of the C6-01.

Data transfer is through a standard Micro USB connection which will also charge the phone.

The C6-01 have 2 of my favourite features, Wi-Fi and GPS. The free Nokia navigation transforms this handy little phone into a smart and powerful sat nav. Load up the maps before you leave (Ireland and UK are pre-loaded) and you’ll never get in trouble travelling abroad, you can even use the

GPS off-line, no chance of picking up any expensive data charges.

Once you’ve logged in to the OVI store from Nokia you can access many free apps, Nokia suggest you use you’re Wi-Fi connection for this to save on data charges – sound advice.

A great choice of Smartphone with a stylish finish and high build quality.

Nokia N8 reviewI got my N8 about a month ago and so far I absolutely love it and have no complaints. The camera is amazing, not surprising as it is 12MP with Carl Zeiss optics and when you've taken your picture you can upload it directly to facebook with the touch of one button! There are 3 home screens that you can personalise for your own needs or preferences, I like to see my social network updates there on screen without having to log on, or add your email account and get notifications when you

receive new emails. You can use the Ovi Maps to get directions, weather, local event info or even find a restaurant and of course you can use check in to let all your facebook or twitter friends know where you are and what you're up to! Download apps direct to your phone from Ovi store, plenty to choose from, my personal favourite is the Wellness Diary which allows me to use my phone as a step counter and to monitor my exercise, food, weight etc. As I've only had the phone a month I'm sure

there is still plenty I haven't tried out on it yet but based on what I have tried I can highly recommend this phone to anyone looking for a high spec phone!

Official IRFU app

This easy to use APP is a must have for all rugby enthusiasts. It keeps me up to date with all club,

provincial and international rugby news. A great aspect of this APP is that it gives all the latest news on

the top

domestic clubs like Clontarf RFC. During the 6 Nations I will keep this APP close to my thumb as I gauge the progress of Ireland in their bid for further success in this fantastic competition.

Samsung Europa reviewThe Samsung Europa is a trendy, stylish android phone at a pocket friendly price.It comes with all the usual android necessities; Wi-Fi, 3G and GPS. It has 170MB internal memory, comes with a 1GB memory card.Seven home screens give plenty of space to add apps, widgets and short cuts

so you can truly personalize this lovely handset your way. Samsung have added a few features of their own like ‘Buddies’ where you can set up a revolving carousel of favourite contacts and then simply message or call them with a couple of screen taps.

Overall, I would highly recommend the Samsung Europa, a quality smart phone at a quality price!

18 | Touchscreen phones | Buyer’s Guide

Touchscreen phonesMillions of users now use touch screen phones. Quicker and easier to access than actual buttons – it’s now all about the user interface and the software. Manufactures strive to make the experience as enjoyable as possible.

“Photos and movies look much better on a large screen”

The touchscreen format was once limited to smartphones and expensive multimedia focused products, not for everyone’s budget. All mobile manufacturers are now producing touchscreen phones to fit all pockets – literally.

LG had great success with their Cookie, Samsung with the Tocco lite and now manufacturers are making the touchscreen experience even better and more affordable.

But what are the advantages of a touchscreen phone over a regular or ‘classic’ phone? Studies have shown that touch screens, such as automatic ticket machines that you would find in a

train station or a cinema are more intuitive, you see an instruction on the screen and the immediate response is to touch the screen, that response is exactly the same with mobile phones.

The fact that many touchscreen phones only have 3 buttons makes it much easier for the manufacturer, there are less components to make and therefore less moving parts that can get stuck or get damaged.

Add the fact that your pictures and movies are bound to look much better on a 3.5 inch screen compared to a 2 inch screen then you start to see why they are getting so popular.

Texting and emails are made

so easy on a touchscreen phone when you turn it on it’s side (landscape mode) a full QwerTy keyboard is presented on the screen and you can type away with both thumbs, much quicker than using a keypad.

This format is the future of mobile phones and at The Carphone warehouse we have the range and the expert advice, ask in-store today.

James, Head Office.

Samsung MiniThe Samsung Mini is an ultra-affordable touchscreen handset with some appealing abilities and apps onboard.

Slider phones | 21Buyer’s Guide |






Slider PhonesA slider phone is fabricated of two segments that slide past each other on rails.

Slider phones have a display which slides over the keyboard – protecting it and locking it to prevent unwanted calls.

This design is a clever use of space and would result in a huge phone if the two pieces did not slide over each other.

With advanced slim screens and lazer cut buttons, slider

phones have a small footprint with big features.

You get a bigger screen than a classic bar shape phone and the auto-keypad lock and auto-answer are really useful standard features on slider phones.
