Prime Notebook Computer Review

The Blackberry 8700 is 320 x 240 transmissive LCD Pocket PC with QWERTY keyboard. Its design thin with large screen and somehow larger than the average phone. The screen is nice with full QVGA resolution with lot of space for the applications. The keyboard is comfortable and easy to use. But the build quality is not good enough. Its wobbly and shaky, not solid like other device such as Palm products.

The Blackberry 8700 powering by 312 MHz Intel Processor and backed up by 16 MB RAM and 64 MB flash memory. The Processor is PXA901 which is usually use in cellular phones. The 64 MB flash memory will give extra space to storage. Its nice. (more…)

The Treo 700p still look like its predecessor, the 650 with little changes. The keyboard still same, its small and rounded with slow text input. The button above the keyboard design like you’ll found at the Treo 700w. The processor also not changed, its still powering by 312 MHz like on the 650 and 700w. Its a big mistake, I thought. But, the 320 x 320 pixels screen is so nice. Its so bright and gratifiying to see.

The 128 MB flash memory will give more storage, although its only 62 MB in real after using to the operating system and user storage. (more…)

If you’re looking for a thin smartphone with nice QWERTY keyboard and low price offers, you should take a look at the Motorola Q. And it’s not just thin, with only 4.1 ounces, the Motorola Q is a lighter smartphone compare to other Windows Mobile 5 based smartphone. Motorola build this machine strong and smooth. The design is not exceptional, but with its size, the Q offers something different. The QWERTY keyboard is nice to use but its not too responsive. The keys must pressed firm or you’ll missed some letter when you writing a message or an email. But overall, the keyboard is good. On the back of this machine, there’s the integrated 1.3 megapixel digital camera, flash, speaker and battery compartement. (more…)
