Texters' Mobile Phone: LG enV VX9900

The LG enV VX9900 looks like a regular candy bar phone with a standard keypad, d-pad and display on the front face. But this LG mobile phone opens like a laptop to reveal a spacious QWERTY keyboard and a large inner display that's flanked by gutsy stereo speakers. For those who want a mobile phone with a keyboard for texting but don't need all the features of a smartphone or PDA phone, let alone the more expensive data plans associated with them, the LG VX9900 enV bridges the gap.

Most Affordable, Smallest and Lightest DSLR: Olmpus E-420

The Olympus E-420, an entry level digital SLR camera is now within reach of budget-conscious enthusiasts. It's extremely portable while having the power of a DSLR and a point and shoot camera at the same time. The lightweight 10-megapixel E420 DSLR offers heavyweight technologies. Weighing a mere 380 grams (13.4 ounces), the Olympus E-420 is 20 to 40 percent lighter than competing DSLRs. Good things come in this small package, including Live View, which enables users to hold the camera away from their faces and interact with their subjects - ideal when capturing photos of children, for example.



The Olympus E-420 Digital SLR will be available in May 2008, so we have really yet to hear feedback from real users. The pack will include: E-420 Body, USB Cable, Video Cable, Li-Ion Battery Pack (BLS-1), Li-Ion Battery Charger (BCS-1), Shoulder Strap, OLYMPUS Master Software CD-ROM, Manuals and Warranty Card.

Cowon iAudio6 - Not Worth its Price?

The Cowon iAudio 6 can play and record a lot of media types but its small screen is discouraging. This mp3 player has a neat style but you have to hold it horizontally to get a good view of the small screen. It can play MP3, WMA, FLAC, WAV and Ogg Vorbis. It comes with a USB cable to synchrnize and transfer files as well as charge the battery when connected to a PC. At $230, almost the same prize as an iPod Nano, I don't think this player is worth it, but may be perfect for those who doesn't mind the small screen.

Diamond-Studded iPhone

This iPhone is obviously the world's most expensive iPhone. It's named "Princess Plus" and it truly showcases Peter Aloisson's craze for phones and diamonds. The 17.75 carats of diamond are set in 18 carat white gold that outlines the edge of the iPhone. Half of its 318 diamonds are square-cut instead of the common round stones which makes this phone a whopping $176,400 worth. Well, there is a lesser expensive version (but still expensive nonetheless) which is a round-cut diamond only version, sold at bloody $66,150.

Here are the images, I found at Luxurylanches.

Ultraportable Convertible Laptop: Fujitsu LifeBook U810

The all-new Fujitsu LifeBook U810 has the functionality of a traditional notebook, but only half the size. It is one of the world's smallest convertible notebooks. It fits in your palm, yet it is rich with features that let you work, access e-mail, watch video, listen to MP3s, browse the Internet, take pictures, or stay connected with friends and family. It's a higher-end alternative to the Asus EEE.



It’s got an 800-MHz Intel A110 processor, 1GB of DDR2 RAM, 40GB storage, Windows Vista, 1024×600 5.6-inch touch screen, integrated webcam, Bluetooth, and 802.11b/g wireless. No optical drive but it’s barely a pound and a half. It's a Tablet PC with full pen, ink and touch capabilities.

The finish of the U810 is a dark metallic silver that gives the machine a upscale look and resists fingerprints. The attached keyboard is compact but usable, even for those of us with long nails.

Haier ibiza Rhapsody

The 30GB Ibiza Rhapsody will allow you to download your favorite music, videos, pictures, and more, with no PC connection! It is another attempt at direct wireless downloads. It was one of the sexiest designs we have seen on an MP3 player. However, to cut production costs the Ibiza lost its slick solid aluminum feel and just became just a pretty good looking player. Even though some of the design was lost, the many features and user interface remained intact.



To get the full benefit of the Ibiza Rhapsody you must subscribe to Rhapsody. If you do not, it is just another player with the inability to use half of the features. The bottom line is if you are an all-you-can- download subscription music junkie or are a Rhapsody fan, the ibiza is definitely a player to consider.

LG Chocolate VX8500 Hypes but Disappoints

The LG Chocolate VX8500 is awesome looking and has a nice screen. It has a smooth and silky look, like a bar of fine dark chocolate. Its touch pad is superb. It is being dubbed as a music phone and its cool exterior slightly resembles the U2-inspired iPod. However, the phone has poor streaming video quality and low talk-time battery life. It doesn't have a speakerphone, which I don't mind--how often do we use the speakerphone anyway? This LG phone's stunning design, Bluetooth, digital music player, and megapixel camera is enough to make this gadget worth buying, although it doesn't quite live up to the hype when it's being advertised.

• Cell Network Technology: GSM
• Band:Tri Band
• Wireless Technology: Bluetooth
• 1.3 Megapixels
• 3.5 hrs Talk Time
