HTC Wildfire

Back to world of blogging after a long time.Now let me tell about my new HTC Wildfire powered by Android 2.1 Eclair. Five days since i bought my mobile , my left palm lost its view as it is covered by my phone now. Went in to each and every menu to bring out the real facts about HTC. It might be interesting to say, it was a minute decision to buy HTC Wildfire after waiting for C6 which is going to be released soon (is it?? :p). If you are already an android user, stop dreaming much about this article as this is for traditional Symbian users(Nokia series 60 mobiles). Because, for people who used Nokia from the day they started using mobiles, HTC is going to give real new experience. The interface is entirely different from the phones that i have seen before(may be for a first time HTC user). The Sleek design , with metal finish is really pleasure have it in our hand. Enough for now. Next set of article will show you the dissection of HTC Wildfire powered by Android 2.1 Eclair. Infected ...

Nokia 5130 - iPhone crusher

iPhone, a status symbol. Even though iPhone lags behind all other phones in features, it should be given double credits for its' audio quality. iPhone would deliver a good piece of audio even in mediocre headphones, such that many testers consider iPhone audio curve as a benchmark to compare the audio quality of other phones. While testing the mobiles, the comparison of iPhone and an another phone, the another phone does not have any audio curve. The testers then realized that, the audio curve of both iPhone and the other phone matched and appeared together. The phone is none other than Nokia 5130 XpressMusic, the successor of Nokia 5220 XpressMusic. This might sound a little different but its true. Nokia delivers top notch audio quality. The audio playback is 24 hours, says Nokia(through headphones). If you are a music freak, then why go for a 30K mobile, when you can get the same in just 5K. Nokia finally substantiates their TM - XpressMusic.

Nokia E63 - A quick review

Nokia E Series , is a series of business class mobiles. These mobile have push mail feature (like in blackberry). So you need not fetch your mail from your regular inbox. Now coming to E63. This season , i had an idea to buy a mobile. Enough with Nokia 5220 XpressMusic(and its bugs :p) , i thought. Just did a research for around 15 days and planned to get rid of it. Initially, this mobile was promising. Nokia also promoted this mobile on their website (you can see Nokia E 63 @ 9 only/- in their home page) The features are very much impressive. But on deep research , it has been reveled that, all features have their critical drawback. Drawbacks : Small Screen. Just twist Nokia 5220 to landscape mode. That is how the screen will look like. Processing speed is decent, but due to the small screen, documents like PDF take time to adjust to the screen. Full Qwerty Keypad, but the number pads are very small and they are in between alpha-num keys. 2 M Pixel camera, but performance is very bad...

HTC Touch 2 Review

HTC Touch 2, an impressive mobile with a gun metal finish on a plastic design, makes it look more elegant and stylish. For people who worry about WindowsMo 6.5 can feel a bit relieved.The TouchFLO UI argumentation will make you to forget everything. The phone is faster than other HTC mobiles and with easy click and go shortcuts. But again, a windows mobile. The arrangement of GUI compenents are not up to the mark. So you need some time to get accustomed with it. The tough screen looks very attractive, but it is not responsive to even hard fingers. The keys around the screen also carry a little work. Camera is mediocre and light adjustment is a problem again(Forget night shootings). There are loads of applications like facebook, Youtube and other media sharing applications. An inbuilt GPS might pull some eyes. The price in India is around Rs.24,500 (Breath taking....) Infected with Harish Syndrome

Blackberry 8520 Curve

The stunning new Blackberry 8520 curve hits the market. The features are amazing. A typical blackberry of course.Very slim, attractive and a simplified design. This latest blackberry model, comes with dedicated music keys like in XpressMusic (am not comparing !!!) with play, skip, rewind etc.So you are not away from your favorite music with this curve in hand. The trackpad feature gives you the feeling of a Laptop to scroll and play around the menu. Really cool. Share your music, videos, photos and other multimedia contents instantly with the Share Media feature. Additionally, Apple computer support has been given.So synchronizing and merging contacts with your Mac system is just a piece of cake. All these facilities will not come cheap. It costs around 14000 INR. Prices are subjected to fluctuate, especially in India. Infected with Harish Syndrome

Blackberry

Blackberry - A kind of status symbol. With all essential features, blackberry possess an exclusive PUSH EMAIL feature. Push email is similar to an always on Internet connection. The mail server is always on. So when you get a mail, it is shown in at once.Unlike other services, i which all mails go to the corresponding inbox and from there the email is fetched by the service provider and displayed in the phone. Blackberry supported mobiles are costly and they deserve it for their extensive features. Initially only a few service providers provided blackberry service. But now a days, companies like BSNL , Vodafone and Airtel too provide blackberry services. The service is also a bit costly. Blackberry mobiles are best suitable for business people, who can spend time, starting up a PC or Laptop, open a browser and login to their mail account.Apart from this, the phones behaves as other normal multimedia phones.

Zune HD Review

Zune HD , an apparent competition for Apple iPhone from Microsoft.A sturdy, royal looking phone with touch. The phone is absolutely slim. The rear body is made of standard aluminum and the front body is made of up touchy plastic. The most notable feature of this mobile is, the 3.5 inch OLED screen. The screen is pretty much big and gives a good space for videos. The videos are really crispy,no lag and the videos does not pixelate.Usually OLED display screens are mediocre and the performance is not much appreciated. But this phone is really a feast to eyes. The mobile runs a high end hardware which includes nVidia Tegra solution.Therefore it is not going to be the usual Windows mobile which takes huge time to start, sometimes. Audio clarity is very decent and the headphones are really funky and the head pieces are bit large to be plugged as such.There are mainly three buttons. Power button Central control button Button3 Power button is situated in the top and the central control button...

Nokia N900

I would call this as my dream mobile. I liked this atonce i saw it. Tremendous design. Nokia N900 has been releases in August 2010. An expensive , worth buying mobile. Before going in to the specifications, the appearance itself it provoking.High quality frame which is not fingerprint prone. Extra widescreen display and controls with tactile full qwerty keyboard. The way the mobile has been designed is really excellent. Its is not just a smartphone but a kind of mobile computer. But again, it is much expensive , costs around 650 USD. Coming to the specifications. N900 is blessed with plenty of features apart from features of a normal phone. The Clarity of objects on the screen is excellent. Nokia N900 runs in Maemo version 5 Linux environment . So Nokia promises, that it wont be the same sluggish symbian mobile.Some features which caught my eyes. 800 × 480 pixel resolution Integrated GPS with A-GPS TI OMAP 3430: ARM Cortex-A8 600 MHz, PowerVR SGX with OpenGL ES 2.0 support Adobe Flas...

Nokia 5800 - Price Slashed

I dont know whether this is a news that has to be celebrated or to be left unnoticed. Nokia 5800 is/was the first touch screen mobile from Nokia. The phone is entirely dependent on the Screen with just around three keys in the key pad to support. I still remember the price when it was newly launched. It was nearly Rs.22000. Within a month , the rates have come down, varying from Rs.18,000 - Rs.20,000. Still it was under costly mobiles category. Accidentally i visited univercell website. Shocking!!!. The cost of the Nokia's first touch mobile is just Rs.12.,500. This price variation raises two questions. 1.Is Nokia 5800 is full of bugs and drawbacks? 2. Did Nokia 5800 reached people big time? Anyway. Those who dreamed of buying a symbian touch mobile can now make their dream true. Infected with Harish Syndrome

Nokia 5220 Profile Bug

This is not new. I already found some bugs in Nokia 5220 and posted it in my Blog. Unfortunately , i found a new bug today. Took my mobile, gone to profile menu. There i had two custom profiles. One of them i named it as Mad Hair Silence . The other was defaulted to My Style 2. Just had a thought to customize it.Opened the profile. Instead of Selecting, personalize i selected Timed . I should have come back at once. The result , the phone got restarted. i thought it was a one time problem, so i tried again. OOPPS!!! It is a bug. Hail Nokia 5220 :(

Apples Bans iTunes for Palm PRE

Apple finally did it. Already i had small thought, that apple would ban the iTunes support for its Competitor . Now it has come true(Clairvoyance!!!!). The latest update of iTunes 8.2.1 has positive bugs(new word huh!!). These bugs dont affect the performance of Apple Products, instead they reject non apple products, that includes its rival Palm PRE . There were many devices available which will work like iPod. Now they are no more. Their iTunes feature has be snatched. No more faking softwares. No more Burma Bazaar items which look like iPod . Apple is planning to completely wash out the compatibility of other fruits, i mean non-apple products. And this could be the first step. My Question is.! After isolating apple products in software section, will they move for hardware?. Such that, only apple accessories can be used for their iPod and iPhone.!!

Nokia 5220 Bugs

Nokia 5220, one of the cheapest S40 Mobile belongs to XpressMusic(TM) family is prone to hell lot of Bugs. Being a proud owner of this Mobile , i encountered these crazy bugs, but still am not fed up. Am loving it! 1.

While playing music through headset, try pulling out the headset, while the music is on. The Screen slowly turns white and the mobiles restart.. 3. To type V, u need to press the Key 8 thrice. This works perfectly in text messages. But when you do the same in search, if you press Key 8 thrice , it will type T U V . This bug i found in Software version 4.83 . To rectify it, try to make the Second press with a bit longer duration(not too much , as it ends up in numbers) 4. Most recent bug i found is this one. Software version 5.63. While playing music through headset, when you receive a text message, you wont hear the no...

Palm Needs to Defeats Other Smart Phones

Palm PRE needs to defeats other Smartphones - Says CEO. Palm PRE is not leading the SP race - added, the CEO. Palm starts its day with WebOs , an OS with an Attractive GUI and Accessibilities. Ofcourse with some flaws as discussed earlier. Every new comer will be compared with a one which is already running successfully. As usual, Palm PRE is compared with iPhone. But Palm denies the fact as, Palm is not an iPhone Killer and has its own way. Among other PDAs/ Smart Mobiles like HTC, T-Mobile Palm also has a brighter scope. As usual am ending this up with a question. Is iPhone 3G out of the Contest?

Mobiles are not your personal diary

Mobiles , gadgets that are found everywhere. Starting from Scavengers to Executives, we cannot see a single hand without mobiles. Mobiles have become one of the most necessary things in day to day life. Current mobile phones no only have phone book but also have provision of store details beyond phone numbers. These highly sophisticated gadget provokes consumers to store their personal and valuable data which they use everyday. Like ATM Pin Number, Net Banking Password, Account Nos even Computer password. Also , now a days phone have become very handy and portable. This gives users a very little effort to carry them. But in the worst care, it even makes users very very comfortable that they forget that fact that they are carrying a mobile. Even we might find many people searching for their mobile in which shirt pocket or in which partition of their bag they kept. All they do is that they give a ring to their own number for some ones'. This results in Three Cases: 1. If you hear the...

Smartphones - Battle Royal

Really a big competition this season for Smart phones. Stunning arrivals puts people under great confusion. Two Kinds of Consumers: 1. People who always stick with their traditional gadgets. 2. People who tend to change on every new arrival. Manufacturers need not worry about the first group of customers , as they can always retain them. The biggest threat is the second kind of customers. Their loss might greatly affect the balance in a Company's reach. Recently Nokia 5800 greatly affected iPhone but that did not last longer. Now the Grace for Smartmobiles have increased. As people opt for the one which could manage all their duties. Now Mobiles Applications started flooding the internet, making a smartphone to do almost all works that a PC can do. A typical Smartphone should be able to support. The most famous iPhone found to be not supporting many applications, which surely goes negative. Durability is also a factor. A mobile must be durable enough to enjoy it instead of worryin...

Yes - iPhone 3G S

Apple's new iPhone is named as iPhone S . The Most glad thing is that, there wont be any change in the price. New iPhone 3G S would be available in the market with the price price a iPhone 3G. New iPhone various discount, offers and free up-gradation for customers based on some eligibility criteria. This is a well known fact that apple prices have gone down and the original price of iPhone 3G S is still hidden. As usual iPhone will attract AT&T Customers with some more special offers. Stil Apple have much more to do. iPhone already overcame as "So called Apple Crusher" Nokia 5800. iPhone did not do rather, nokia gone back due to the bugs and isues. Now it is going to be hard time for people to chose between the two giant smartphones iPhone and Palm PRE

Palm PRE started eating iPhone

One of the ok..the Only thing that is/was notable in iPhone is its iTunes Sync with PC. It was also a great security for iPhone to maintain their standard. Now Palm PRE also provided PC Sync with iPhone. Palm PRE suports images, music and video to be Syncronized. The notable fact is that, it is more comfortable to sync media with the Foreigner(Palm PRE ) than doing it with the one belongs to the same family of Apple (iPhone). Now what can iPhone do. Remove Palm PRE Support in iTunes. That can be done in ucoming versions , but what about older version iTunes.!!!!!
