Hands-on report from the DigitalFocus press event in New York City. Extensive photos and info on the Samsung T809 slim slider and the feature-packed Nokia Eseries business smartphones.

Last night at a press preview event for the DigitalLife trade show in New York, T-Mobile and Nokia previewed several very exciting new high-end phones.

T-Mobile was showing off the Samsung T809, a feature-packed and extremely thin slider phone. With its slim profile, advanced features, and high-quality feel, the T809 is clearly designed to compete with Motorola's popular RAZR.

Meanwhile at the Nokia table, the just-announced Eseries was on display. These business-oriented smartphones redefine the top end of the market with a dizzying array of features, and form factors that will provide good competition for the new Windows Mobile smartphones hitting the market over the next few months.

Unbranded Samsung RAZR?

Sure, we can get the branded T-mobile one in the US - but what about a factory unlocked/unbranded version overseas?
Unlocked RAZR's are fairly common anymore. There is a dealer around here that sells pink, black and blue ones. As for a Samsung RAZR, no such thing. the RAZR V3 is made by Motorola.

Good and bad...

Pity that T-Mo gets that T809 when it's the worst carrier in terms of reception in the US (at least in every major city I've been in).

But that E61 with the keyboard looks really great! Can't beat that screen...
I disagree I have both Cingular and T-mobile and everytime I go out of Miami to any major city, T-mobile has much better reception...it actually surprises me, but its true...

It is a pity, right? Cingular should have definately gotten the ...

i cant wait to get the GSM 850 version of the E70. it looks really great.
Wow Invader. I had no idea you were a carrier basher. I can assure that every city I have been in (some not so major), all over the west coast, and south west. T-Mobile has worked near perfectly. I know you are all into Sprint but that doesn't mean T-...

Nokia E60

Is it fair to say that the Nokia E60 looks exactly like the Sony Ericssson T610/T637 series phone...?

I don't think the word "brick" was ever used to describe the T-series.
I have to say, yes
Wrap and newspaper and serve it with chips, this looks a little fishy. Somebody revoke those designer's credentials. And don't look now, but the 6030 and 6020 series also suspiciously resemble the t637. One more thing, check out the p910 and compar...

Nice job.

Rich and Eric,
    I don't know if its a sign that the two of you have amped up your coverage or just a coincidence that several things have happened around the same time, but you guys have put out several good articles recently highlighting upcoming releases and gave an in-depth review of the e815 with your usual panache and style. I just wanted to say good work, and that I like the fact that there is a new article every couple of days. They truly are the highlight of the site.
