Has anyone tried out crazytoe.com? The website offers mostly cell phones, UMPCs, GPS receivers, PMPs, and mobile accessories through rent-to-own schemes. Read on for a sampling of their current monthly rates.

• LG KE850 Prada - $119.98
• Nokia E90 - $116.98
• HTC Touch Cruise - $99.98
• Sony Ericsson G900 - $85.00

A bit pricey; one would imagine crazytoe’s business model involves premiums on the monthly rates. Though the website does offer phones at a lower price after 90 days of renting, and also has a recycling program that adds credit to a user’s account. Obviously, all cell phones offered by crazytoe.com are unlocked to work with any cell network.

Would renting the “latest” cell phones be appealing? Wouldn’t you rather just save up for the drool-worthy gadget instead? Or do you have to be seen using a certain phone?

Orange has teamed up with BIC to launch the easy-to-use, ready-to-go BIC phone. Manufactured by TCL (Alcatel), the entry-level device comes with 60 free minutes, the battery charged, and the SIM card already in place. Once you spend the free minutes, refilling is done using prepaid cards called “mobicarte.”

The idea seems to reach those users that don’t care about high-end features of today’s smartphones, but rather prefer simple phone for texting and calling. Additionally, the France Telecom owned mobile operator may push the device towards a large number of tourists, who in most cases just need a cheap solution to stay in touch while visiting France.

That being said, the two companies will push the BIC phone through over the counter channels, major supermarkets and local convenience stores. Starting from August, 7th, BIC phone will be available in citrus orange and lime green in metropolitan France for 49 EUR with all the taxes.

GsmArena has published a review of LG KF750 Secret. Read the review here

“We are impressed with the LG KF750 Secret. Once again we’ve got proof that LG are committed to improving a little something in every new high-end handset they release and not just replicate and facelift old designs.We are so pleased with the Secret mainly because that it’s a lot of fun to use. It has the looks to get your attention and the features to keep it. What is more, on almost every occasion its performance lives up to the promise of the specs sheet.Of course, it is not all bed of roses for the KF750. It has its imperfections just like any other device on the market. The sunlight legibility issues of the screen and the limited touch control do give market rivals a chance. However we still find the LG Secret capable enough of standing its ground in the highly competitive high-end segment.”

Another day, another concept phone. This Eclipse Intuit, by Eddie Goh, features a touch keypad with tactile feedback, 5 megapixel camera with built-in photo editing software, a giant touchscreen and a chemical-based thin solar skin that will charge the battery when exposed to light.

It sounds all well and good, except how often does anyone keep their phone out in the open gathering sunlight? Usually if I’m out and about, my cell stays firmly in the depths of my handbag or in my back pocket and, last time I checked, sunlight doesn’t reach there. I guess this phone is going to stay a concept. [Yanko Design ]

we’ve got the full spec sheet to round out the package. Keep in mind that most of this is subject to change/speculation, but everything on here looks legitimate enough:

• 14 mm in thickness, width 60 mm and length 113 mm
• GSM, EDGE and UMTS HSDPA 3.6
• aGPS
• Wi-FI b/g
• 320×320 screen, touch panel
• micro-SD slot under the battery
• 2 MP camera
• 1500 mAh battery
• A micro-USB connector for both power and sync
• Bluetooth 2.0 EDR + A2DP, 256 MB NAND-Flash (> 175 MB for user), 32 MB SDRAM
• Windows Mobile Pro 6.1

This all looks good, but our earlier info indicated 100 MB of RAM, so we’re not sure what to believe. Either way, Wi-Fi, GPS, and HSDPA are nothing to laugh about, and we’re glad Palm has finally decided to abandon their bulky proprietary power connector in favor of the more svelte micro-USB standard.
