Spillikins - First issue

Mobile-review have posted a very interesting article with an unusual title talking about the latest devices from various companies. Here is the most interesting part...Model X.

Model X. Now that’s a small surprise we have saved for the final part of our first issue – it’s some device that I have been playing around with for a while now, which will be announced some time down the road (25th or 26th week of this year). This time around, hiding behind the mask of “Model X” is a diminutive pocket-friendly slider, whose casing sports aluminum accents and comes in a variety of colors, plus it ships with a 2 inch display and only three buttons on its surface. The maker dubs it as a music-minded offering, but I, for one, don’t think so. Unfortunately, I can’t say I’ve fallen for this slider, mainly because of its somewhat odd design, and the display that doesn’t seem big enough, on top of that, there are some alternatives to it that are available today for even less money. But in fact, this is the maker’s first attempt to foray into the mid-tier with a touchscreen device; and it is quite another matter that it is rivaled by some high-end solutions that have rolled down the pricing ladder. By the way, I have another slider, this one is really focused on music, c in my pocket from this manufacturer – and the truth is, I like it better. Stay tuned for the announcement that’s scheduled for this spring.

So, that’s about it – our first game is coming to an end. This piece has never been meant as a serious and no-nonsense review, it is rather a write-up where we can put all our associations and thoughts together with a view to giving you a quick tour of what’s coming to Mobile-Review in the next couple of days, showing a slightly different, fresh perspective on the phones we have on our hands. I hope this article has kept you entertained from preface to this point and my spontaneous digressions from the subject haven’t sparked some destructive thoughts in you. Probably all following issues of “Spillikins” will employ the same style as this one. I would be really grateful if you could express your opinion on this write-up’s format in our forums (Materials of site) – after all, it is all up to you to decide whether this series will go on or not. Thank you in advance.
