Sony Liveview

Zitat: As an accessory for your Android device, the LiveView should work, albeit with some hiccups. Sold as part of the Sony Ericsson Fitness Experience Pack, you´ll get the LiveView accessory, a wrist strap, and an armband phone holder. Features such as phone notifications and a music player remote control are nifty, but considering how we had a difficult time using the accessory (and its dodgy connection), the S$118 spent on this accessory could be put to better use.

Zitat: LiveView is quite a clever idea. But the software needs an overhaul to deal with crashing and loss of pairing, and it´s something else that you have to remember to keep charged, and yet another thing to carry. And really, what´s the problem with doing all that it offers directly on your phone?

Zitat: We love: + Tiny + helpful and surprisingly untacky We hate: - Glitches - needs to be worn in place of a watch The Sony Ericsson LiveView has huge potential, and so long as you´ve got a supported phone it might be worth getting in on the ground floor

Zitat: Pros: + Affordable price + Connectivity well covered with 3G and Wi-Fi + Free navigation + Good battery life Cons: - Symbian^1 is dated - Camera lacks autofocus - Poor video recording - Noticeable lag in some essential apps like the browser and the gallery We appreciate Nokia´s attempt to deliver an affordable smartphone but the dated Symbian^1 stands in the way of enjoying the almost full connectivity package and the 600MHz of processing power. Because of that, we feel that low-end Android handsets, such as the HTC Wildfire and the LG Optimus One, also have connectivity covered well and could be your alternative.There are plenty of setbacks that could break the deal for the C5-03: some of the apps like the gallery and the browser are just terribly slow, Symbian is stuffed with menus, which make you feel like you are in a maze, and finally the fixed focus camera does not impress.Currently, the Nokia C5-03 is sold at a retail price of about $280, but the phone is still expected in many markets and with the wider launch we can expect its price to get somewhat lower. Nokia enters deeper into the budget and mid-range smartphone markets and with the C5-03 it has some good potential. The price is more affordable than on current low-end Androids for example and compensates for some of the issues. If you are in store for a balanced phone with good functionality and can live with a dated OS, you might find the Nokia C5-03 just right.
