Smartech T20i-Five-in-one Power Device
You probably carry one or more of these devices at all times - an organizer, a phone book, a digital camera, an MP3 player, a video recorder, a voice recorder, or a remote control. We have been expecting a power device that has all the functions you need with maximum performance. For many years, this was just a dream, but now this device of the future is available and affordable.
There is simply no way to compare the T19i with the new T20i. You just cannot. The T19i was a letdown for its performance, but the T20i is far superior. Although the T20i contains a wide variety of functions (everything you expect in a mobile phone), it will live up to your expectations for its performance. For the last 18 months, Smartech went back to basics - processing power and huge memory. The T20i is not rocket science or a new invention; it is simply, plainly a power device. Featuring the latest processor with 24GHz and a huge memory of 100GB, the T20i is the only device on the market to store more than 20,000 songs or 10 or more movies. Moreover, the T20i will shock the world with its size — it's as big as your palm, and weighs no more than your business card holder.
There is no single mobile phone on the market with a digital camera of more than 8 megapixels. The T20i is the only one such device. This means high resolution pictures on a large LCD screen from your mobile phone! Why carry another digital camera around with you? The MP3 function includes both voice and video recording and playback, just like the media player on your computer. All five functions you expect in the T20i are at maximum performance. Unlike many current devices, which have either a good camera or a good MP3, the T20i has both! The T20i has withstood stringent industry tests for its reliability and performance as conducted by the National IT Standards!
One last thing to consider before you pull your credit card out from your wallet though is that this little fantastic device will cost you a whopping $2,000.00.

Subject: Smartech T20i review
To Mr. Vincent,
I have been a faithful reader of “IT's IT Technology Review” every week, and I want to voice my disagreement about the Smartech T20i printed in your last issue. I received the T20i as a gift two months ago. I must say it really is an expensive gift! I would not have bought it for my own usage had it not been given to me as a gift. I think it is overpriced!
I must, however, agree that the device does quite an awful lot for its size. As a technical user, I still find some limitations of the T20i. The pictures I took were fantastically clear and crisp with its 8 megapixels. However, it does not have the anti-shake feature which is present in most standard digital cameras. I am not able to take any pictures as long as I am in motion, and I mean even the slightest movement. The cable connection interface to the computer is really unstable.
I was trying to connect my T20i for more than an hour just to download one picture! The connection was intermittent with an unstable connection. For the price you must pay to get the T20i, I would not recommend buying it personally.
