Sony Ericsson Satio Review
January 18, 2010
In the latter end of 2009 Sony Ericsson released the latest ‘flagship’ phone which was shown to the world with much gusto and promise, helped by a fairly universal advertising campaign (the one with the brightly coloured space hoppers) and it certainly looked like it could be very successful not only over the Christmas spending spree, but into the new year as well.
So over the seasonally-cold holidays I’ve had the pleasure (or not as the case may be) of putting the new Sony Ericsson Satio through its paces and seeing whether the real thing matches up to the promised article and whether there’s a world beating phone there – not just a pretty face and a world beating camera.

August 11, 2009
Following the relative success of the original LG Viewty (which was really one of the the first actually decent camera-phone at 5MP) and to continue our LG-touchscreen-phone season (see the LG Arena) we thought it would be good to have a detailed look at the new and inventively named LG Viewty Smart.
But before we get into the review proper it would be worth pointing out that the LG Viewty Smart isn’t, despite what it’s name might suggest, in any way a smartphone. Don’t expect this to be an iPhone or Blackberry beater, rather something that aims to stretch the cameraphone market in the same way that the original Viewty did.

November 17, 2008
It’s almost a year since I first reviewed the LG Viewty, however I still get asked quite a bit about customising it, specifically in terms of getting new LG Viewty themes, some of which look like the iPhone interface.
The LG Viewty was a great mobile phone when it appeared late last year and it still is good compared to many newer handsets that have been released since, however perhaps you’ve got a little bored with the 3 interface themes that come with the phone, could you do with a change of theme on your LG Viewty?
If that’s the case, then you might be interested to read what I managed to find after doing a little research on this topic, here’s what I found…

September 3, 2008
The LG Renoir (KC910) has been unveiled in a preview post over at the LG Blog – this mobile phone will be the successor to the LG Viewty which we reviewed here at Zath when it was launched in the run-up to last Christmas.
The LG Renoir’s (KC910) headline features will be its 8 Megapixel camera, 3” fully touchscreen 240×400 pixel display and three physical function buttons. Here’s a list of some of the specifications that we can expect to see from this new LG cameraphone:

June 25, 2008
Here is my latest mobile phone handset review, that of the LG KF600 brought to you by a company that is focusing on producing stylish mobile phones that have well implemented and developed features.
Your first impressions of this product is that from looking at how the box is presented – a folding out cube that has clearly been influenced by Apple’s iPod packaging!
The next thing that strikes you once you pick up the handset is the fact that it has two smaller screens rather than one larger one – there’s the main screen, which is purely for standard display purposes and the other one located below it which is for the touchscreen operation is known as the ‘InteractPad’.

April 28, 2008
A couple of weeks ago LG invited me to participate in some of the launch events they had planned for their latest mobile phone handset; the ‘LG Secret’.
On Thursday 24th April (unfortunately I couldn’t attend this event), LG held a press conference to announce the name and other details of the latest in their range of ‘Black Label’ series of mobile phone handsets – until this event, no-one had been told what this new mobile would even be called.

December 22, 2007
The LG Viewty KU990 is the latest “cameraphone” from LG which is the replacement model for the Prada. The LG Viewty is being badged as a cameraphone, that’s the first important point to realise – it’s not a mobile that claims to be a “jack of all trades”, instead it focuses in on being very good at what it does with both still and video camera features.
I’ve been using the LG Viewty KU990 for over a month now, but the first thing that you’ll notice about the LG Viewty is just how great this mobile phone actually looks and feels in your hand – it sits nicely in the hand, not being too big or heavy, on the back it looks like a traditional camera, while the front of it you’re presented with an outstanding 3” touchscreen with just 3 small and discrete actual buttons.
