Multimedia Phone Reviews

infoSync World have published a review of the Latte Slim 11b GSM phone. 'The Latte Slim 11b takes some obvious design cues from the SLVR L7, but we wouldn't go so far as to call it a knock-off. It is a thin candy bar phone with a single-sheet metallic keypad, and it shares some of the same rounded edges as the Motorola phone. Physically the Slim is not as wide as the SLVR, and just as thin, though it is a bit taller. The Slim is a very shiny phone, with lots of polished mirror surfaces on its face, ready to attract your fingerprints. The keys are tiny and cramped, and though a raised bit of plastic separates them, we still found ourselves pecking with the tips of our fingernails to type accurately.'

A review of the Latte Boom music phone has been posted over at InfoSync World. 'The Latte Boom phone will quickly draw stares and even inquisitive looks as you take it out and start dialing. It looks different than any other phone on the market, thanks to its narrow shell and twin, dominating speakers on its face. The speaker panel slides open to reveal the phone, but, closed, the phone looks simple and clean, like a very tiny boom box (hence the name?). Open, the keys are tightly packed, as you would expect on a phone that is just more than half as wide as our Palm Treo 700p, but the numeric keys aren't our biggest complaint. The dedicated music button and the camera button also act as soft keys, but their placement makes using the phone's menus less than intuitive.'
