TOYS.” Or ”boys will be boys” From the day a baby boy is born he is dressed in blue and trained to love cars or anything that moves using fuel. They grow up with car toys and they dream about driving fast cars at night. Boys are raised with the notion that they have to be as hard and strong as a car. If you think about it they have to be hard as the outer metal body and more complicated then the working of a Hemi v8 engine.

I conducted a little experiment where I asked five of my best male friends a few questions about their dream cars. The aim of the experiment is to see if there is a connection between them.

1. The knowledge they have about cars.

2. Their attitudes towards different car make.

3. What color they choose and why.

Mike is the youngest of four brothers. His dream motor vehicle is the Audi S8. The color is silver with authentic black leather seat and 20” inch rims. Julian his, elder brother of four years. His dream car is a Roll Royce Phantom. It must be silver with Maple leather seat cover and 22” inch rims. They solely believe in Audi’s, as it’s a car of true class. They’ll never buy a secondhand car as they were raised with the mentality it should be brand new. Their father never brought a secondhand car why they?

Barlow, Waldo and Gavin are three brothers that share the same mother but have different fathers. You can see this clearly in their choice of cars. Waldo strongly believes in an Audi. He wants a S4. It must be black with cream leather seats and 20” inch rims. Barlow wants a Mercedes Benz AMG as he believes it’s sophisticated. Black with bronze leather seats and 19” inch rims. The Youngest Gavin only wants a fast car. He pledges for BMW but his dream car is a Nissan Skyline.Midnight blue with any color racing seats and 18” inch rims. The only thing these three brothers have in common is their usage of second hand models. All three of them has bought a secondhand model and seemed to have no problem with it.

The only thing all five friends have in common is that they all bought their cars at Nam Cars.

Certainly Samsung have created a very compact and lightweight phone, weighing just 77g and slimmed down to just 9.4 mm in thickness. But the U600 slide phone gets very close to that and the conventionally-designed U100 is even smaller and lighter.

Now, we have a problem – which side of the phone to review first? We’ve got to admit that in 6 years of reviewing mobiles, this is the first time that this question has ever arisen. Let’s start with the keypad side (that’s the side for making phone calls.) What we have here is a very compact phone with a conventional keypad and a nice 5-way navigation key. The screen is small, so the keypad can fill most of the space available, making it very easy to use (hey – that’s a benefit of this flipper design, isn’t it? Things are looking up!) Yet because the screen is so small, it can display just two lines of text, making the user interface cramped and clumsy. The construction of the phone is solid and it doesn’t feel like it’s going to break, unless you treat it really badly. Not much more to say about this side really – it makes phone calls – so lets flip the phone over and examine the other side.

The multimedia side of the phone looks like a slide phone with the slide closed. But with a really big navigation key. Hey, it is big! It’s touch sensitive too, so we see a problem here. Touch-sensitive keys are great in iPods, but have a sad history when used in mobile phones. Samsung have done this before with the E900 and U600, both of which use touch-sensitive keys and received plenty of criticism from users. Samsung haven’t learned their lesson here. And another thing – the touch-sensitive button alone isn’t enough to access all the menu functions, so you have to use the side-mounted volume control too. It feels like a clumsy solution.
