Spillikins - First issue


Mobile-review have posted a very interesting article with an unusual title talking about the latest devices from various companies. Here is the most interesting part...Model X.

Model X. Now that�s a small surprise we have saved for the final part of our first issue � it�s some device that I have been playing around with for a while now, which will be announced some time down the road (25th or 26th week of this year). This time around, hiding behind the mask of �Model X� is a diminutive pocket-friendly slider, whose casing sports aluminum accents and comes in a variety of colors, plus it ships with a 2 inch display and only three buttons on its surface. The maker dubs it as a music-minded offering, but I, for one, don�t think so. Unfortunately, I can�t say I�ve fallen for this slider, mainly because of its somewhat odd design, and the display that doesn�t seem big enough, on top of that, there are some alternatives to it that are available today for even less money. But in fact, this is the maker�s first attempt to foray into the mid-tier with a touchscreen device; and it is quite another matter that it is rivaled by some high-end solutions that have rolled down the pricing ladder. By the way, I have another slider, this one is really focused on music, c in my pocket from this manufacturer � and the truth is, I like it better. Stay tuned for the announcement that�s scheduled for this spring.

So, that�s about it � our first game is coming to an end. This piece has never been meant as a serious and no-nonsense review, it is rather a write-up where we can put all our associations and thoughts together with a view to giving you a quick tour of what�s coming to Mobile-Review in the next couple of days, showing a slightly different, fresh perspective on the phones we have on our hands. I hope this article has kept you entertained from preface to this point and my spontaneous digressions from the subject haven�t sparked some destructive thoughts in you. Probably all following issues of �Spillikins� will employ the same style as this one. I would be really grateful if you could express your opinion on this write-up�s format in our forums (Materials of site) � after all, it is all up to you to decide whether this series will go on or not. Thank you in advance.
