Being the most popular, we have chosen AT&T for this review, a company which offers powerful handsets at a very low price and even for free.

The LG Xenon is in fact a QWERTY business cell phone which comes with a classic case made of resistant plastic.

The battery life of this cell phone is rated at 4 hours of conversations and up to 264 hours in standby mode, great values for such a powerful unit.

I am sure that every one of you has seen at least once a Leica digital camera. One thing which not so many of you know is that almost every year, Panasonic and Leica collaborate in order to bring us some cool new digital camera models and those models get branded under each of the manufacturer’s name. Today, we are going to take the example of the Leica D-Lux 3, a camera that perks over the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2, considered to be its twin. The Leica D-Lux 3 comes in both black and silver colors and it has some amateur oriented features like different focus models, raw file support, and even semi manual exposure options.

This Leica digital camera comes with a 10 MP sensor and a native 16:9 aspect ratio. Compared to the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2, the Leica D-Lux 3 manages to win the fight when it comes to ISO speeds. All this is due to the fact that the Leica comes with a touch more aggressive filtering and this helps reduce sharpness. However, when you want to print some photos taken with this camera, you will notice that the actual picture looks way better than it does on the laptop’s display. The photos you can take with this Leica digital camera are decent. The white balance is ok and dynamic range, exposure and color saturation are the same. When it comes to performance, it is difficult to tell the difference between the Leica and the Panasonic.

There is a 0.7 lag registered under typical lighting and there is a 1.7 seconds lag registered in dim light. Under the best conditions, you have to wait about 2.3 seconds between taking 2 shots and raw shooting requires you to wait about 5.2 seconds between shots.

They say that the camera’s interface is not really going to slow you down. Thanks to the properly placed set of buttons, switches and dials, you can access different shooting options. If you skim through the manual or you may come across some mystifying options. For example, there are 5 different AF modes: one area high speed, one area, spot, three area high speed and a nine area. If you don’t know they exist, it’s going to be hard to tell them apart from the icons.



On the back of the Leica D-Lux 3 you are going to see a superb 2.8 inch display is quite large, bright, clear, and colorful and it comes with a wide aspect.With a total weight of 7.6 ounces, it is not exactly the lightest camera we have ever seen and it will not fit into just any kind of pocket. But it is, however, a compact camera which will fit into bigger pockets and it could be a good friend and a reliable vacation companion.

It may not come with many high end technology features, but for a starting price $1700, I am pretty sure you are paying for some kind of quality material. In fact, if we think that Leica produces even $5000 digital cameras, I think we can trust this manufacturer.

One of the most indispensable accessories for people in our days is certainly the mobile phone. This unit allows you to keep in touch with your friends everywhere you are, send text messages, make video-calls and even browse on the internet. But, how many people know the cell phone history? For those people who don’t know it but want to read about it, we recommend you take a look at this review.

Like almost all major events that took place after 4 July of 1776, the mobile phone was born in the year 1973, on the great American land, although various concepts, plans and prototypes have existed since the early Twentieth Century. The funny thing is that the inventors of the first cell phone is Motorola, a company which in present is about to abandon the mobile phone division. On the 3 April of 1973, Dr. Martin Cooper (a manager of the Motorola Company) was the first person which has ever made a call from a mobile phone. At the other end was none other than Joel Engel, its biggest rival which was working for Bell Labs (Alcatel-Lucent), another big company which was looking for a revolution in technology.

The discussion between those two has not been recorded but there are rumors that Engel was crying with “crocodile tears” upon hearing the news. Before that, together with engineers from Bell Labs, he has focused on developing mobile phone networks. Since then, he has worked hard to achieve many kind of prototypes but only in 1983 the first end-user mobile phone approved by FCC has been launched. When we think about the cell phone history, we have to mention about the Motorola Dynatax 8000x, the first mobile phone in all history.

Being a revolutionary technology, it was not affordable for everyone. It also wasn’t very portable because it had big dimensions and a big weight. The Motorola Dynatac (known also as the Zack’s cell phone from Saved by the Bell), was launched with a price of $3995, a really high price at that time. As we said, the dimensions of the phone seemed to be exaggerated. It measured 330 mm in length and weighted almost 1 KG (869 grams). You could only make calls from this cell phone for maximum 30 minutes and the standby mode hardly touched 8 hours.

This is a funny aspect because the charging time was 10 hours, 2 hours more than the autonomy. Now, all these performances could make us laugh at the present time but we need to remember that in a race for perfection we always start from beginning. During 1983 – 1989, other five DynaTac models had been launched but at the end of 1989, all these were replaced by a much more engaging and powerful unit, the Motorola MicroTAC 9800x.

This is the first cell phone with a “flip” design, having an elegant fold which covers the numerical pad. The dimensions of this phone were also improved. The Motorola MicroTAC 9800x comes with a case which measures 229 mm in length and a total weight of 303 grams. Even so, you should have some resistant pockets to carry this cell phone with you. Being a representative cell phone for the ’80, the MicroTAC was available in 7 models, each having a price between $2495 - $3495. All these being mentioned, ut is nice to see that how much technology has improved.
