The new HP Mini 110 is a 10″ netbook has been reported by some to be “the company’s best netbook for consumers yet”. The Mini 110 earns points for its excellent keyboard and additional ports over the earlier generation Mini 1000. However it does lose praise for the awkward mouse buttons and the increased weight from the last gen model is disappointing.

The fact that HP has dropped the Mini 1000’s edge-to-edge glass display is also  met with disapproval. On the up side, there is good use of some of the extra space as there are now three USB 2.0 ports and a standard VGA port. At $329, the Mini 110 is reasonably priced and if you tack on another $40 you can upgrade to the 6-cell battery (3 cell is standard).

Blackberry Bold 9000

The Blackberry Bold 9000 is one of the most connectable BlackBerry models out there and also one of the few to support a variety of Wi-Fi speeds and HSDPA. Its internet and messaging features are quick but you should be mindful new BlackBerry email and instant message accounts are needed for the speediest access to messaging and those not wanting to part with their personal accounts should consider this. Regrettably the Internet browser, email and instant messaging all have a dull black and white lay out.

The Bold’s video and picture quality are great, so it is rather disappointing that the camcorder records grainy images and the camera isn’t more effective. Measuring 4.48 inches tall, 2.6 inches wide and 0.59 inches thick, the Bold isn’t exactly palm-sized unless you have very large hands. Overall, the phone makes messaging and navigating a breeze, but all of the special features may be more than one needs and it might be too large for some folks.

As you can see Verizon has gone ahead and released to the public a new section of its website. The user review feature has been in our news a while ago and it’s now ready to be implemented. If you’re anxious to speak your mind about your latest purchase then by all means, go right ahead and do so. You can rate handsets on a five star scale and you will be judging the ease of use, the display, the overall design and features and the battery life. You can jot down your personal review and bring up pros and cons for any phone. The only downsize of all that is that you will have to log in your account before writing your review. And reviews will be judged by Verizon employees which means your personal rants about certain devices might not be approved.
