Out now and in the shops in the TMobile Phones range we have the TMobile Compact V. Not exactly over flowing with gadgetry but still, this phone will keep you busy for hours just checking out the various functions and at the same time is easy to get to grasp with in just a little time. Many of those functions are not just for show either. Let's have a look, shall we?

It's a sleek, highly attractive looking phone. With the phone you get a 3.2 inch TFT touch screen which displays 65 thousand colors and operates at 480x800 pixels. This provides for superb screen color.

Next up there is a 5 mega pixel camera that has a resolution of 2593x1944 pixels and offers touch and auto focus to ensure excellent image quality. Along with this though there is a facility for VGA quality video footage which operates at 15 frames per second. A further VGA quality camera is there for video calls too.

The handset works with TouchFlo 3D touch navigation technology with a zoom bar which is also touch sensitive. Data entry can also be carried out by the handwriting recognition function.

How about internet access? Well this is provided for with HSDPA connection (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) and will give a connection speed of up to 7.2 Mbps; Wi-Fi hot spots can be accessed too, of course. More connectivity is offered to the user by way of EDGE, GPRS, mini USB and blue tooth; satellite navigation offered with A-GPS.

There are more features in the TMobile Compact V. There is Microsoft Office, including the usual set up of Word, Power Point, Excel and a PDF document viewer. There is also a voice memo facility for recording voice messages. And of course an MP3 player to boot.

Okay so the TMobile Compact V is not top of the range and does not provide for every single possibility in the current mobile phone industries arsenal. However its a nice handset with a highly attractive and stylish look and is available at a competitive and affordable price tag. Worth a look for sure!

Technical Details

Okay so the Apple iPhone 3G S is not a TMobile phone as such but I thought due to its current popularity I would add it to this website. Lets check out the nitty gritty stuff.

The screen is big at 3.5 inches and also its what is called oleophobic which means that when you touch it, it does not smudge. So even if you sweat for a living you got a phone here that can deal with it.

The phone measures some 115mm in height which is 4.53 inches, by 62.1mm wide (2.44 inches) with a thickness of 12.3mm (o.48 inches) and weighs in at 150 grams. So all in all similar dimensions to the previous iPhone.

If you are looking for "buttons" then you will be disappointed. There are only 4 on this iPhone - silent mode; volume adjustment; lock down of the key pad; return to homepage. Everything else you have to access via the touch screen.

This phone is only currently available in black or in white.

Apple make iPods, thus the music system on the phone is superb quality with a built in iPod that links directly to the iTunes Store. Plus, you can change the song via voice command and you can ask the phone which particular track is playing to which you will receive a response. Technology here exceeds itself.

So you have excellent sound and a super set of headphones come with the phone.

The camera has 3 megapixels with auto focus and there is a feature called tap to focus which allows you to tap onto a point where you wish the camera to make its focus upon. A little difficult to explain that clearly. One downside to the camera though is it has no flash.

Internet connectivity is via 3G and in general is excellent and with the large 3.5 inch screen working with emails and web-pages is pretty good really. All in all a really nice package and a step in the right direction for mobile internet connectivity.
