| Buyer’s Guide

Touchscreen phones Millions of users now use touch screen phones. Quicker and easier to access than actual buttons – it’s now all about the user interface and the software. Manufactures strive to make the experience as enjoyable as possible.

“Photos and movies look much better on a large screen” The touchscreen format was once limited to smartphones and expensive multimedia focused products, not for everyone’s budget. All mobile manufacturers are now producing touchscreen phones to fit all pockets – literally.

LG had great success with their Cookie, Samsung with the Tocco lite and now manufacturers are making the touchscreen experience even better and more affordable.

But what are the advantages of a touchscreen phone over a regular or ‘classic’ phone? Studies have shown that touch screens, such as automatic ticket machines that you would find in a

train station or a cinema are more intuitive, you see an instruction on the screen and the immediate response is to touch the screen, that response is exactly the same with mobile phones.

The fact that many touchscreen phones only have 3 buttons makes it much easier for the manufacturer, there are less components to make and therefore less moving parts that can get stuck or get damaged.

so easy on a touchscreen phone when you turn it on it’s side (landscape mode) a full QwerTy keyboard is presented on the screen and you can type away with both thumbs, much quicker than using a keypad.

This format is the future of mobile phones and at The Carphone warehouse we have the range and the expert advice, ask in-store today.

Add the fact that your pictures and movies are bound to look much better on a 3.5 inch screen compared to a 2 inch screen then you start to see why they are getting so popular.

James, Head Office.

Samsung Diva Folder Samsung has announced the Diva Folder, a clamshell device designed for women with a hidden outside LED screen that illuminates with important notifications.

Luxurious and fashionable, this phone looks ready for a night on the town.

The menu is finely designed with special fonts and exclusive features, like a “wish list” for keeping shopping lists. It also is equipped with a special “etiquette mode” for quickly silencing the phone.

The Diva Folder can take video and photographs thanks to the on-board camera and the photo retouching feature and artistic “Lomo Effect” turn normal pictures into artsy shots.
