HTC has launched 5 smartphones into the Windows Phone 7 realm. This one is one of the more stylish. This unit boasts an 8 mega-pixel camera with a Xenon flash. Others in its class only have a 5 mega-pixel camera and a less powerful LED flash. Music aficionados will love the Mozart and its Zune software.

This unibody phone is cut from a single piece of aluminum which is then given a brushed finish. Inside, a 1 GHz Snapdragon chipset is utilized. There is a 3.2 inch SLCD display and the phone has a healthy 8GB of memory. Below the screen there are three backlit buttons and then above the display is the earpiece protected by a grille. Matte silver buttons on the sides control the power, volume and camera. At the top of the phone near the power button is a 3.5mm headphone jack.

HTC has equipped the Mozart with an 8 mega-pixel camera that has an auto-focus feature. This is a strong camera that out-modes many other smartphones in its class. Many other comparable phones are equipped with a 5 mega-pixel camera. This camera does fall short however in its ability to be adjusted. Settings like ISO, EV, sharpness and metering are not adjustable on this camera. The camera also can function as an HD camcorder; however there has been an issue with frame rate reduction in low light conditions.

Music fans will love the HTC 7 Mozart. First, this unit has excellent quality speakers and a high-end sound technology known as SRS WOW HD, which is said to create virtual surround sound. The Mozart is equipped with Zune software, which creates a music, and videos hub, which is used to download your music and videos.

There are tons of good reasons to jailbreak. And tons of reasons not. I’ll break it down for you here…

Reasons to Jailbreak:

You Can Use Carriers Other Than ATT – Notably, T-Mobile

Apple has awarded ATT exclusive and prohibitive rights to service the iPhone through 2012, when their contract will be up for renewal. ATT has been plagued by problems the last few years, which has made many people think twice about getting locked into a 2 year contract (or longer) with them. Jailbreak software can unlock your phone to give you access to other carriers. T-Mobile is the most willing to allow you to use iPhones on their network, and they have great coverage in many areas where ATT doesn’t.

Cool Jailbroken iPhone Apps

Apple’s legit App Store has many cool offerings, but jailbroken iPhones have a wide array of banned creative and quirky apps. Access to Cydia — the hub of “illegitimate” apps — is a huge motivation for jailbreaking your iPhone.

Jailbreaking is 100% Reversible

If you’re scared of the consequences of jailbreaking your iPhone — or simply don’t like the experience – it’s easily reversible. All that’s required to “un-jailbreak” a phone is restore iTunes.

Reasons Not to Jailbreak:

Bricking

As with any tampering of your iPhone, you run the risk of experiencing “bricking.” Bricking renders your phone unusable and requires a complete wipe and restore to make it functional again. Not a big deal given the quick fix, but it does serve as a deterrent.

Voiding Your Warranty

It is legal, as of 2010, to use jailbreak software on a phone (at least in the US). However, when you unlock it, your warranty is technically null and void. This means that if Apple finds out that you’ve jailbroken your phone, they are not obligated to fix it if it breaks or malfunctions unless you pay for it out of pocket. So if you drop your phone a lot, or your particular IOS seems buggy, you should consider carefully before you jailbreak.

Concerns Over Security

The website MacRumours has published a flaw that they’ve discovered in some recent jailbreaking processes that leaves a hole which hackers could exploit to plant malware onto phones. This exploit comes out of the IOS PDF app. They say “The remote website presents a PDF that has a specifically crafted font embedded, and it is the processing of the embedded font that has the security issue.” Something to think about, you know?

Samsung has created its own operating system known as the Bada in an effort to stand out amongst all of those smartphones that use the Android OS. Bada is receiving its official launch via Samsung’s brand new phone, the Samsung S8500. Going by the popular name the Samsung Wave, this phone provides an experience not quite like any other.

Combining the basic operations of low-end phones with the convenient features of higher priced smartphones, the Wave is considered a mid-range phone. This makes it affordable to many budgets. The 1 GHz Hummingbird processor, a Samsung original, allows the Wave to zoom around the net and instantly select apps at a previously unheard of clip. This alone sets it apart from many other mid-range phones and is packaged in a small frame, accommodating easy carrying. The handset measures 108.9mm x 53.5mm x 10.9mm and weighs a mere 118g, ensuring the user won’t feel the need to put the phone on wheels rather than in their pocket.

Possibly the most impressive feature on the Wave is the Super Amoled screen. There are no issues to be had when looking at the screen due to its large, 3.3-inch size. Images are lively and vibrant in the 800 x 480 pixel resolution provided by the display which also supports an unbelievable 16 million colors. While surfing the web, pages come to life on a screen that rivals high end computer monitors in quality. You will find only three buttons on the front of the Wave, allowing the screen to become the focal point that it is intended to be.

Still featuring Samsung’s TouchWiz overlay, the touch screen will be a welcome feature for those already familiar with Samsung’s other models. It may take some getting used to for new users, but it does not take long for the user to become oriented to its design. The touch screen is responsive without being irritatingly so. It is of course crucial to access the correct application when desired.

Speaking of apps, some critics have pointed to the Wave’s relatively small app store. Fewer applications are to be expected for phones powered by a brand new OS. As more models are released that the Bada system supports, more apps will be possible. In fact, in addition to the ubiquitous Facebook and Twitter apps, there are thousands more awaiting approval.

The Wave comes complete with two home screen modes that provide several options for all sorts of tastes. One mode supports numerous widgets on any of five provided home screens. The other mode is reminiscent of a basic menu that offers three additional screens. Facebook, Twitter, and email feature are found there.

The Wave capably and competently achieves the goals set forth by Samsung. Intended to unleash the Bada OS upon the world, it does just that in a package that will not overwhelm the user as they explore all that Bada can do. With an affordable price and an intuitive interface, the Wave fulfills its initial promise.
