Samsung’s Ace Smartphone features a 2.3-inch display, 1.3-megapixel camera, 192MB ROM, 96MB RAM, microSD card slot, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0 connetivity, and a QWERTY keypad. Click more to watch a video.

As we have come to expect from Samsung the build quality is top notch. While we did not care for the keyboard, those with small hands and fingers may appreciate the narrowness. For those looking for a Windows Mobile world phone the Ace is a good bet, though we don’t expect it will steal many sales from the BlackBerry 8830.

The Motorola MOTO U9 features a 2-inch (240 x 320) display, an external OLED display, 2.0-megapixel camera, 25MB internal memory, a microSD card slot, Bluetooth 2.0, and USB 2.0. Click more to watch a video.

Well is the U9 worth getting? If you like it, the answer is definitely YES. We are in love with its outer appearance and are with mixed feelings only about the black on the inside. However, it surely looks cool in the grey color variant of the phone, which is for the gentlemen.

BlackBerry 9000

The BlackBerry 9000 features a 624-MHz Intel XScale PXA270 processor, 1GB of memory, 480 x 320 display, 2.0-megapixel camera, GPS, and Wi-Fi. No word yet on pricing. Click more to see additional pictures.

The phone’s lines seem flow really well (dare we call a BlackBerry “sexy”?) without losing its purpose-suited stance exuded by the 8300s, 8700s, and 8800s of yore. The real kicker, though, might be the beautiful user interface, which has been totally revamped from the ground up; gone is the cartoonish look and feel of the current lineup, replaced with a modern, warm theme with wireframe icons and slick animations
