This year we’re going to see a lot of high end phones all trying desperately to compete with the iPhone and each other. The iPhone, love it or hate it, has completely changed the way that manufacturers and users think about their phones. Its not just all about what it looks like, but what it does, and how it does it. Over the last 2 years, the number of touch screen handsets available has gone through the roof, with just about every manufacturer now making full touch screen, finger friendly devices.
Samsung have had massive success already with the Omnia and the Tocco, and LG did brilliantly with the Viewty. These two manufacturers have always been fierce rivals, always wanting to out do the other one, so with them both releasing new handsets at the same time, I thought I’d put the Samsung Tocco Ultra Edition up against the LG Arena to see how they compare.
Now, like most people in the mobile phone world, I’ve known these two phones were coming for a while, and always thought they were going to be 2 versions of the same thing, but when I powered them up I realised this wasn’t the case.

How do you make the best even better?
Some would say you can’t but Jabra have managed it with the BT2020. Its predecessor, the BT250v, was one of the best selling Bluetooth headsets in the world.
Why is the Jabra BT2020 better?
With the BT2020, Jabra have built on all the good points of the BT250v and;
- Kept the comfortable "behind the ear" design.
- Reduced its size.
- Reduced the weight from 23 grams to just 16 grams.
- Removed the flashing blue light and added a discreet LED.
- Improved battery life.
With the reduction in weight the BT2020 is now more comfortable and with the new discreet LED feature, there’s no constant flash to distract you. Despite the size reduction, battery times are improved. The BT2020 now has an impressive 360 hours standby time and up to 8 hours talk time. In real terms, you can leave it turned on for over 2 weeks before the battery runs out. When the battery does eventually run out, the BT2020 now has the option of being charged in your car. This was the biggest disappointment on the BT250v, the unique charging cradle meant that it could only be charged at home. Fortunately though, Jabra have now dropped the cradle in favour of a more standard Mini USB connection, and are including a car charger with the headset. As with the BT250v, the BT2020 comes with a variety of Ear gels to make sure there is a comfortable fit for everyone.
