Some More Smart(phone) Deals
In addition to our list on Nov 21, below are some more smartphone deals that a consumer could consider during this holiday season:
E71 from Nokia
Available at various carriers
Nokia is the largest cellphone manufacturer in the world. The E71 is a GSM phone (read, AT&T, T-mobile as carriers) that features both GPS and the optional voice-guided navigator, which talks you to your destination.
It is unlocked. More details could be found at www.nokia.com
Epix from Samsung
Available at AT&T
This is a business-oriented smart phone available at AT&T. It looks a lot like Samsung’s older BlackJack II, but with some key upgrades. In addition to a qwerty-style keyboard and touch screen, Epix features an optimal mouse near the middle of the phone (like Blackberry Curve) that promises more precise control than the usual four way button pad.
It runs Microsoft Mobile 6.1 software, and features 3G data speeds, Wi-Fi networking, Bluetooth and GPS. More details could be found at www.samsung.com
