Samsung T539 Beat Review

Launched exactly two years ago, one of the first handsets from the Beat series, Samsung T539 can now be tagged as a low-budget clamshell.

Samsung T-539 features two TFT displays, which are very small compared to the latest handsets launched by the Korean company. It has a small 1.3-megapixel camera protected by a thin plastic.  The camera is capable of taking snapshots with a maximum resolution of 1280 x 1024 pixels, and short clips can be registered with a maximum resolution of 176x144 pixels.
The handset is definitely not made for those that usually surf the Internet. Either the small display or the poor browser will make you give this feature up. The integrated browser (NetFront 3.2) cannot display pages that are larger than 300KB, thus lowering the Internet capabilities.
Samsung T539 only has GPRS and EDGE (Class 10, 236.8 kbps) technologies. Mostly, you will use WAP to download applications that you need and think that will run on the clamshell, because there is no way you can actually browse Internet pages.
Samsung T539 features an ARM9 family processor running at speeds up to 201 MHz.
The quad band (GSM 850 / GSM 1800 / GSM 1900) network compatible handset has a good GSM signal reception. Unfortunately, the sound is pretty defective, but loud enough.

This is our sixth new Volvo and it is by far the best! The all wheel drive, integrated Bluetooth, and Dynaudio entertainment system make it incredible for trips across town or across the country. I'd put the T6 up against any BMW 5 Series in terms of comfort, reliability, and overall drive ability.
· The best Volvo sedan yet. The AWD wipes out the torque steer you might expect. Turbo charging has always delivered a crazy amount of torque for Volvo and I would always choose a turbo charged engine over a non-turbo. This is the only reason to stay away from the entry level 3.2 model. It is absolutely the most boring vehicle to drive. Another regret is a very typical Volvo gripe; no manual transmission. If Volvo ever wants to break into BMW, Audi, and Acura territory they are going to have to bring the manual transmission option back. I own a 2006 C70 T5 with the manual transmission and it is fantastic! I strongly recommend putting this sedan on your list; Volvo has the potential to really regain the sports sedan segment with the S80....

Honda Accord Crosstour 2010

Honda Accord Crosstour has a foot both in the wagon and CUV realms still has us scratching our heads. Taking a peek at what's being cross-shopped against Honda's latest offering proves potential customers are in the same boat.Fitting every car into a neat categorical box is a fool's errand, but the Crosstour is apparently making everyone wonder just where it belongs. According to early Edmunds' data, buyers seem to think the Crosstour competes most closely with the Toyota Venza, with ToMoCo's wagon-on-stilts being cross-shopping against the Crosstour more than any other vehicle. Other Honda models are also heavily considered against the Crosstour, according to Edmunds Auto Observer, as are a panoply of other cars. Luxury rides like the Audi A4 and BMW 3 Series wind up in the comparison column, as do more traditional crossovers like the Chevrolet Equinox and Toyota RAV-4.While the Crosstour has been called lots of unflattering things, it's clear that figuring out whether it's neatly described as fish or fowl is more of a thorny chestnut.

New Volvo S60 Gets Fleshed Out

Set to compete with the likes of the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes C-Class; the newest Volvo S60 will make its grand debut in the spring of next year. The design is nearly identical to the 2008 S60 concept and should make some design waves in Volvo’s lineup helping to separate the S60 from the S80, which it previously bore an uncomfortably close resemblance to. The S60 will get several engine choices including 4, 5 and 6 cylinder Ford engines and an efficient Drive option. Volvo’s first GTDi engine is also expected to make an appearance in the production model. The above image was drawn by a Car Magazine artist with knowledge of the final design.
