A survey of new communication electronic products for the technology savvy.

Micromax hasn’t been around for too long, but they’ve made sure their products have made some sort of statement when it comes to their features. From 8MP camera phones with optical zoom to this GC700 Dual connectivity CDMA/GSM handset with its gravity sensor.

The first time you pick up the Motorola Droid, you’ll notice its solid feel and heft. There’s a lot going on behind the crisp, 3.7-inch touchscreen. Making good use of Android 2.0’s new features, the Droid is a powerful web-surfing and communications tool that has a chance of living up to its hype. The Droid’s biggest flaw, however, is in its hardware design: The keyboard is shallow and flat, which can make typing uncomfortable.

The LG GD910 is a childhood fantasy-come-true (This is Luke Skywalker calling R2-D2!). It’s a wristwatch cell phone. It may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but technology can always find its way to stun and surprise. Inside the could-be-Star-Wars-looking box, we find the phone/the watch, a charger, a data cable, a Bluetooth headset, a dock, CD-ROM and a user’s guide.

Have you heard of Zen mobiles? If you haven’t heard of the company and are assuming that it is affiliated to Creative’s Zen series of PMPs (Portable Media Players), you are mistaken.
