Sirocco, the powerful desert-born wind that originates in the Sahara during an occasion of a warm, dry air mass colliding with the cooler, maritime air of the Mediterranean, now finds a place among the list of most stylish gadgets that mankind has ever seen. We are talking of Nokia 8800 alias Sirocco, the new spellbinding mobile phone sensation on offer from Nokia.
And not surprisingly, as the name resonates, Nokia designs the device partaking inspiration from nature and its phenomena. A prominent groove on the front fascia with an uncanny similarity to the thumb of a human being showcases more reasons to fulfill the belief. The striking organic shape of the Nokia 8800 Sirocco Edition refers to the strength and endurance of the human form, a concept that is further followed by the stainless steel polished surfaces and a scratch-resistant glass display window of this phone. And to add to all there are these unique theme sounds designed by Brian Eno - popularly known as the father of ambient music. Every distinct soundscape created by Eno offers organic, calm and highly evolved sound experience to a Sirocco user.
Now for the ones who are dumbstruck to see a complete absence of the key pad from the construction, an innovative, smooth slide-up mechanism reveals the set of ergonomic keys hidden behind the engraved from fascia. An upwardly push moves the screen upward and welcomes the user to the smart, graphic rich environment of Nokia 8800 Sirocco. The main display measures 31x31 mm and glows bright with a resolution of 208 x 208 pixels and 256K of colours. The exterior also comprises a 2 megapixel camera with image reproducibility of 1600x1200 pixels and ability to record videos too. Enter the feature assortment and find yourself opportune with the availability of supports for GPRS, EDGE, Bluetooth with A2DP, WAP 2.0/xHTML browser.
For the ones looking for multimedia rich interface and availability of music playing features, JAVA MIDP 2.0 and a highly functional media player that supports files of MP3/AAC formats along with an FM radio comes with plentiful of options.
Now, for some if, Sirocco, matching to its name, brings along a fresh breadth of air (if not wind) of innovation, for others it is a modern-day phone with several advanced feature amalgamation. Now ride the wind of exuberance that Nokia 8800 Sirocco exudes from every inches, or simply make calls; the phone stands true to meet both the necessities.

LG KT610 - A Communicator
LG is seems always produce stylish and good looking design handset. Indeed, LG's phones quite impressive in term of designation and the touchscreen handset is the most frequently we see at the LG's smartphones production line. However, the LG KT610 is different from the other LG's smartphones. You will not see large touchscreen on it. Instead, the full QWERTY keyboard is made in LG KT610, which is rarely seen on the LG smartphone. Apparently the QWERTY keypad is not something new for LG (example LG KS360, LG Voyager, LG Rumor and etc), so let take a look what lies beneath this communicator-style phone.
Design
Obviously, The LG KT610 is hardly considered as a good looking phone. With the dimension of 108.9 x 53.9 x 17.2mm and the weight of 125.5 grams, KT 610 is hard to sneak into your tide jeans pocket. When closed, you will see a giant keypad and controls keys at the front, and a tiny 1.45″ 262K-color screen is located above the keypad. Frankly, it's somewhere looks like a calculator. But when you open it up, you will see a full QWERTY keyboard and a 2.4″ 262K-color QVGA at folding top. It makes the phone look like a tiny laptop. However, the screen is too small at the folding top. It would be better if the screen is wider.
Software and Massaging.
The KT610 runs on Symbian OS v9.2 and S60 3rd Edition Feature pack 1, which is the operating system that mainly use in Nokia smart phones. The benefit of this OS is you can install gallons of cool third-party apps. And as a communicator handset with the large and comfortable full QWERTY keyboard, the LG KT610 is one of the best texting devices around. The software layout is almost perfect and completely on par with the great ergonomics of the keyboard. You can easily create or edit a SMS or MMS and Email with it. The email client even can be set to automatically check mail at a preset interval and the number of maximum retrieved messages can also be configured. Overall, LG KT610 really does its job as a communicator device.
Music and Video
The music experience is good, the LG KT610 music player looks exactly like on any other S60 3rd edition device and it is supports a huge number of audio formats including MP3, AAC, eAAC+ and WMA. And the Video player is the Real player that preinstalled. The videos can be displayed in fullscreen to make better use of the display. However, due to the 2.4″ screen you can't help for wider display.
Camera
The 2 megapixel camera is very status quo, with little options and not even a flash. The resulting pictures aren't bad, for a 2 megapixel camera. But that's it. In term of snapping picture, The camera on KT610 however is really hard to operate. The outside screen is comfortable to use when shooting like you would with a regular bar phone. However the small external display shows only a part of the frame to be captured. It cuts about 2/3 of the frame and only displays its central area. Also worth pointing out is that you can't capture videos using the external display as a viewfinder. For the video recording it can record at a frame rate of 10fps and are saved in 3gp format. Also LG KT610 is able to manage CIF resolution but that all what it got in video recording feature. The camera is probably a downside for the phone.
Connectivity
The phone is shame on lack of Wi-Fi connectivity. The Wi-Fi connection is already in use in many other smartphone, I wonder why LG did not include this specs in KT610. Except of that, the type of connectivity is ok. You can connect with your PC through USB connection. Beside of that, there is card slot is also an option with the good transfer rates card readers can offer. And the Bluetooth v2.0 enable you to connect to other device wirelessly. The network connectivity is also at the expected high level with GPRS, EDGE and 3G all covered. HSDPA is also on board to take network data transfers to top speed.
Conclusion
Overall, LG KT610 is a pretty good communicator handset. It got what it takes to play the rule. However, it is not the top in the market. There are a lot similar phones out there. Frankly, there unfortunately that's the only thing that really a stand out on this phone is the big and easy-type QWERTY keyboard. I wonder how many people will attracted by that.
