Samsung Instinct HD SPH-M850

noreply@blogger.com (meyou) — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 07:15:00 +0000

It offers a sleeker design, a brighter display, and more features. We are a bit ambivalent about the much-hyped “high-definition” support, but it remains a compelling multimedia phone that does a lot of things well. The HD camera is cool, but we’d pay for real productivity than flashy multimedia.

3 things we like about the Samsung Instinct HD SPH-M850

• Attractive user interface
• Brilliant display
• Photo and video quality are sharp

3 things we don’t like about the Samsung Instinct HD SPH-M850

• Call quality isn’t the sharpest
• Memory card slot is located behind the battery
• Quite expensive

Samsung Instinct HD SPH-M850 Review

The smooth & curve angles give it an appealing shape & we like the simple silver & black color process. What’s more, we welcome the extra heft (4.63 inches by 2.29 inches by 0.5 inch; 4.01 ounces) as it gives the phone a solid & comfortable feel in the hand.

You’ll notice the upgrade immediately; the colors are bright & vibrant & graphics pop right off the screen. Though 3.2 inches is on the cusp of what we consider the maximum size for a touch screen, the Instinct HD’s display is easy on the eyes. You can amend the brightness & the backlight time, but the tiny text size cannot be changed.

Scanning through long lists & using scroll bars was a tad sluggish, but nothing bothersome. You can amend the touch sensitivity & switch between a right- & a left-handed orientation. The vibrating feedback should be helpful for most users; you can change its intensity or deactivate it . The display also has a proximity sensor.

The menu interface is similar to the previous Instinct models. On the top level there’s two menu pages (”Main,” “Fun,” & “My Stuff”) where icons are arranged in a list or tile format according to their themes. The tile design is more visually appealing, but the list design offers more commands for each individual feature. For example, you can see thumbnails of your photos without opening the photo gallery. There is & a fourth page called “Faves” that you can populate with your selected features. For more personalization you can delete menu choices & rearrange them.

The “Web” menu offers choices for the browser, Microsoft Live Search, & various widgets (we’ll list them in the Features section). Games, GPS, & customization options can be found in the “My Stuff” menu, multimedia & social media apps like Facebook & Twitter are in the “Fun” menu, & standard options like messaging & the organizer are in the “Main” menu page. It’s an intuitive arrangement twice you give it a go.

below the display are two touch controls: a Back key, a Home button, & a calling key. The Home button will take you back to the main screen & the calling key opens yet another menu with your phone book, your speed dial list, the recent calls menu, the visual voice mail feature, & the phone dialer. The latter features giant alphanumeric touch controls & the ability to activate the speakerphone & access contacts right on the display.

The Instinct HD offers a full QWERTY keyboard with giant buttons. The vertical keyboard is more spacious than you’d think, but we’d recommend against using it since the keys are not arranged in the standard QWERTY format. You can switch between keyboards by tipping the phone (the Instinct HD has an accelerometer) or by pressing a touch control. You can hide the keyboard to show more of the writing area.

The power control rests on the top of the Instinct HD next to the 3.5mm headset jack (lovely!). On the left spine you’ll find the microSD port for the charger/USB cable, the TV out jack, & a camera shutter. The volume rocker & voice-dialing button are on the left spine. Though you can find the rocker when on a call, we’d prefer it to be a bit larger. The single speaker sits on the rear of the handset below the camera lens, flash, & self-portrait mirror. Though most of the controls in a convenient place on the handset, the memory card slot is inconveniently located behind the battery cover.

The Instinct HD’s 600-contact phone book is tiny, as far as touch-screen handsets go. Each name holds one phone number types, an e-mail address, an instant-message handle, a street address, a URL, & notes. You can organize callers in to groups & pair them with a photo & one of 26 128-note polyphonic ringtones. Other essentials include a vibrate mode, text & multimedia messaging, a calendar, a calculator, an alarm clock, a timer, a stopwatch, a world clock, a full duplex speakerphone, & a notepad. Fortunately, the calendar & world clock are not as difficult to use than on the Instinct.

The Instinct HD is not a smartphone, but you’ll find a fair number of features beyond the basics. We were also glad to see that Samsung added Wi-Fi to the Instinct HD.

It quirks, but it works fine for basic communication. If you have set up your work e-mail, you’ll also be to sync your Outlook calendar & contacts. The same is not true for Outlook Notes, however.

The Opera 9.7 browser lets you view Web pages in their full HTML glory, but it will default to a mobile site if one is available. Compared with a normal WAP browser, Opera 9.7 is slick & , but it’s not without its faults. Sure, we get that Opera is trying to make mobile browsing not as difficult to use, but the whole experience gets cluttered & redundant. For example, you can save Web pages as bookmarks & as “Speed Dial” pages.

You’ll get used to it, but it takes some practice to understand how to use the browser intelligently. This is the first time that we had to read the relevant section in the phone’s user manual. The browser does not support Flash Lite or the Opera Turbo feature.

You can zoom in by double tapping the screen, & we like that you can amend the zoom percentage in the Settings menu. Other features on the browser are respectable. You also receive a list of saved pages, but that appears to be another method for saving selected pages.

In addition to the standard camera features, you can record videos in high definition (1,280×720). Since most mobile phone cameras are not worth their weight in plastic, we weren’t sure at first if a mobile phone was the best place for an HD camcorder. After some thought we figured that if Samsung could make it work in a compelling way, then there is no reason the phone should not offer it. We’ll save our firm assessment until we run a thorough test, but as of now it should be a fun & useful tool. It may not compete with the best HD camcorders out there, but it doesn’t have to.

If you need to view the video in high-def, you’ll need to transfer the video to an HD-capable monitor. That is understandable, but we wish that Samsung included the required cable in the box than making it an optional accessory. You’ll receive a 4GB card in the box, but the phone can accommodate cards up to 32GB.

You also can set a self-timer. Videos for multimedia messages are capped at 6MB, which is between 40 seconds & 2 minutes long, depending on the resolution (HD videos cannot be sent over the air). In the normal mode you can record for as long as the available memory permits. The flash is bright; you can pick between an automatic & an “always on” setting.

Photo quality was lovely. Colors were bright, details & faces were sharp, & there was no picture noise. Non-HD video was better than we have seen on lots of camera phones. With photos you also can assign them to a contact or transfer them off the phone by Bluetooth, a memory card, or a USB cable. The photo/clip gallery is intuitive. You can move between shots with a finger swipe or you can play a slideshow.

As the Instinct HD is a 3G device, you can connect to Sprint TV, which includes live & on-demand programming from a wide variety of channels. You also can access the NFL Network & Sprint Movie. In all, it’s an exhaustive selection of programming with much of it exclusive to Sprint. Since you’re using the phone in horizontal mode, the Back button is facing down.

The music player MP3 is relatively similar to that on the previous Instinct phones. You can access the Sprint Music Store for simultaneous downloads both to your PC & wirelessly to your phone. The player interface is nothing fancy. Though you get album art, the features are limited to repeat & shuffle modes, & you cannot use MP3s as ringtones. When a call comes in, the music will pause automatically & will resume again after you hang up.

The Instinct HD also offers a fair number of widgets for MySpace, Twitter, YouTube, & Facebook. We used the latter one & found them to be quick & easy to use. We tested the dual-band (CDMA 800/1900) Samsung Instinct HD in San Francisco.

Speakerphone calls were fine, but not great. The volume does get loud, but the audio on our finish was grainy. We had to sit close to the phone if we wanted to be heard on the other finish. Bluetooth headset calls were satisfactory, but your experience will vary by headset.

A support (we still cannot understand why the S30 dropped back to Rev. 0). We could even get strong EV-DO service in some buildings & when underground.

Final Words and Conclusion

What is more, we are pleased that the frame size uses the entire display. The quality was also good; there was tiny pixilation and the sound matched the image. Only a couple times did they see some distortion between scenes. As of this writing, our review model is not equipped to purchase songs from the Sprint Music Store. One time they get that activated we’ll document back on the download speed and music quality. The handset also froze for a few seconds on multiple occasions and it took time to back out of media features as well.

LG KP500 Cookie Pink

noreply@blogger.com (meyou) — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 01:16:00 +0000

LG KP500 Cookie Pink is definitely not a surprise from the company who was expected to deliver something of great caliber meeting the requirements of its users and competing against the top brands like Nokia, HTC and Blackberry.

Apart from features, this touch screen phone does its job quiet decently as well. Don’t forget that LG KP500 Cookie Pink has got its name from a tasty cookie and it is as good as it.

The sale of the LG smart phones has indeed ramped up with LG KP500 Cookie Pink which has been developed for the segment of smart phones of low and mid range.

• Battery is not at all good in LG KP500 Cookie Pink and need a lot of work on its indicator as well.
• Headphones are almost useless. LG KP500 Cookie Pink could indeed have had better headphones.
• Firmware can be called buggy. Although it is not a major problem.
• Worst hit case is that the handset is a bit slow. So if you are a fast and furious kind of a person, LG KP500 Cookie Pink is definitely not for you.

Review LG KP500 Cookie Pink

LG KP500 Cookie Pink is a good handset introduced by the company at the right time when the users were looking forward to meet up to the requirements of some good features which were affordable.

To have a better idea about LG KP500 Cookie Pink and its various features, let’s study the phone in detail.

Build Quality design and appearance
LG KP500 Cookie Pink definitely understands the importance of simplicity and the kind of elegance it offers. The handset is quite simple yet elegant and actually looks cute. A huge display adds on to beauty that the users are looking forward to and the minimum buttons below the display screen is quite appealing. Measurement and weight wise the mobile phone is a treat to look at. Its comfortable to hold and carry and comes with a nice stylus. Although the screen is good enough to encourage finger touch for operations, yet for style, you may use the stylus.
No matter you like casual phones of elegant business like phones; LG KP500 Cookie Pink fits every user’s requirements aptly.
Talking more about its quality design, the handset has a 3 inch wide screen along with three basic operational keys which add on to the elegance and simplicity. A metallic lining runs throughout the circumference of the phone and that is the only and minimal design one can see on the face of the handset. At the bottom is the stylus slot and MP3 camera stands at the back all alone.

Display
A good display is what makes LG KP500 Cookie Pink so much loved and adored. 3 inches wide screen of 240 by 400 pixels screen resolution with Flash UI makes the handset pretty cool. The screen is touch quality and comes with a stylus. A good resistance, accuracy and sensitivity can be expected from the screen of LG KP500 Cookie Pink. Navigation is fun and display can be called 100% accurate in the handset which gets full marks for the same.
The choice of accelerometer in itself is too good. The screen automatically keeps changing between the portrait and landscape mode as you keep moving the phone. This is very beneficial in viewing images and playing games.

Interface
Again a high point of LG KP500 Cookie Pink, display would never let you down in the handset. It is user friendly and really stylish and cool. Because of UI based upon Flash, it is even more useful. In fact, it has a great reminding value to the OS iPhones and one can easily associate to Prada and Renoir when you see the interface of LG KP500 Cookie Pink. Apart from being high in functions, the interface of LG KP500 Cookie Pink is quite intuitive and responsive. It won’t let you wait for long.
One can view Entertainment, Communication, Settings and Utilities as main four tabs in which the interface of LG KP500 Cookie Pink is divided. The animations of UI are excellent and the dual home screen is exceptional.

Multimedia
LG KP500 Cookie Pink is quite good when it comes to multimedia operations. The display is large and hence it is quite exciting to view photographs, videos etc on the large display of high resolution. However, the files have to transcoded for video playback as the handset does not support formats like DivX and XviD. The quality of video playback is still nice and enjoyable. The best part is that videos can be played in both landscape modes as well as can be viewed full screen. Video screen shots are also possible in the handset.
An audio player is also available on LG KP500 Cookie Pink with very nice and user friendly interface. EQ presets and album art are easily supported on the music player. Tracking records is also possible according to the genre, album, artist, recently played audios etc. a custom playlist can be made by the user of his choice of audios and the best part is that just like a PC, one can minimize the music player for furthermore convenience.
Even the quality of audios is very good and if you are a music lover, it would aptly satisfy you. All basic features of a music player can be found in the music player of LG KP500 Cookie Pink. The only shortcoming that we encountered here is the lack of audio jack of 3.5mm in order to plug in your own earphones.
How can we forget here to mention the image gallery which possesses a very cool interface? Both portrait and landscape modes can be employed to view images and all the basic editing functions including zooming in and out can be performed here. Sharpness, colour contrast, saturation, brightness are regular features but what makes LG KP500 Cookie Pink distinguish is the red eye removal effect.

Camera and Other essential features
Let’s start here with the FM radio supported by RDS integrated in LG KP500 Cookie Pink. The reception of FM is really at par with some of the best mobile phones. Then comes the camera with as high screen resolution as 2048 by 1536 pixels. The MP3 camera that the mobile phone sports is really good but lacks in auto focus and flash features which have almost become a must in any handset of its caliber. The present day requirement of mobile users is such that they want a good camera which LG KP500 Cookie Pink failed to understand.
Apart from what we have discussed, there is a very basic problem with cameras without flash that they cannot take shots at night. Thus, the camera of LG KP500 Cookie Pink is of no use to a user who is fond of clicking every moment with his mobile camera. Otherwise, the camera is decent enough offering bright shots and accurate contrast option.
There is an option of video recording at 12 FPS which is a QVGA resolution. The best thing is the camera interface in the handset which is amazingly user friendly.
Some of the other essential features include connectivity, which has to be good. Unfortunately there is no WiFi and 3G technology, which is a major shortcoming of the handset. Definitely LG KP500 Cookie Pink could not make it for the loss but has provided the users with excellent Bluetooth. The experience of browsing is decent.
In case you use your handset moderately, with completely charged battery it would last moderately but otherwise the life span of Li Ion 900 mAh battery is quite short. If you are a music clover, then you have to keep charging your handset on a regular interval of time.
Rest good applications in the handset include alarm, calendar, voice recorder, manager, calculator, stop watch and web browser. But one thing that would never let you down is the call quality. No matter what, the quality of calls is excellent being the basic purpose of the phone and one cannot forget mentioning and praising that.

Final Words

Looking for GPS, WiFi or 3G? This is indeed not the right place. The same holds true for those who enjoy having a good camera in their handset. But if these things do not hold a place of importance in your priority list, LG KP500 Cookie Pink can be reasonably a good handset.
Here is a detailed verdict of how we rank the handset.
Look, Design, Feel
In the age of iPhone, the user would find every smart phone with the same kind of features and same kind of appearance, which LG KP500 Cookie Pink is also following religiously. Definitely it cannot be said that iPhone and LG KP500 Cookie Pink can be competitors but if you do not want to spend that much and are happy with a phone rich in features, then this 89 grams weighing mobile phone which is as thin as 11.9mm would be a decent choice to make.
The appearance of the handset is definitely a plus point in LG KP500 Cookie Pink which has a metallic band around the entire phone. The phone looks simple yet smart. A stylus is provided with the phone but one need not use it on its big screen which is comfortably accessible through finger touch as well. The large screen is as wide as 3 inches and below the screen one can find easy access Call, Application and End keys.
Features
LG KP500 Cookie Pink is definitely rich in features but what is more important here is how good or bad the features are. The handset scores seven out of ten in this domain. There is no 3G, a biggest shortcoming of the phone. The same holds true for WiFi technology. One definitely gets Bluetooth, which is good. Office Viewer is a good feature here. Unfortunately the video support is not as good as it should have been and the 3.2 megapixel camera does not have auto focus or flash. Emailing and web browsing are slow on LG KP500 Cookie Pink. Messaging is not really an exciting feature in the handset but the user interface is quite good and comfortable. The screen resolution is high and one can get 262K colour display, which is good enough.
Connectivity
Since the handset holds quad band GSM network, it can work all over the world ignoring the fact that it is solely a 2.5G device. LG KP500 Cookie Pink has been incorporated with EDGE technology that is essential for quick data transfer. The Bluetooth 2.1 support is a blessing after we know that there is no Wi-Fi. USB 2.0 is good for connecting to wired devices while A2DP support enables in better connectivity in terms of music gadgets. Not at all a bad choice!!!
Performance
LG KP500 Cookie Pink could definitely have delivered better. But unfortunately the biggest lacking point of the phone is its bad battery which offers only 3.5 hours of talk time with a fully charged battery and a standby time of 2 weeks only. Even the indicator of the battery has many flaws and can not be termed as accurate in any sense.
Value for Money
This domain completely belongs to LG KP500 Cookie Pink. An affordable smart phone is definitely better than the low cost iPhone which is almost like a toy. If your budget is low and you want a mobile phone from this segment of phones, then LG KP500 Cookie Pink would be a better and smart choice. The high point is its touch screen which is indeed wonderful.
In short, LG KP500 Cookie Pink is a nice phone depending what are your requirements. The handset is good looking and has an interface which is quite pleasing. The price of LG KP500 Cookie Pink is determined intelligently and that is the reason why it is quite popular amongst the masses.

There are a lot of data applications available in different mobile phones but the most complete features are present in smart phones. Smart phones used to be a high end type of phone for being expensive and that it has been focused on enterprise or corporate email needs. Today it is just like a standard phone because of it being affordable plus the advantage of having an almost complete set of gadget in just one handset.

What’s not hot about Blackberry 8900

Although there are lots of advantages offered by mobile phones, still there are disadvantages attached to it. It is sometimes linked to vehicular accidents due to the urgency of calls and some because of the reason that they just don’t have the discipline in using their phones. Blackberry 8900 is not an exception to this kind of circumstances.

Use of mobile phones are being restricted while driving because it can cause accident to the driver being distracted by the phone call and with the risk of having to drive with one hand on the wheels and the other on the phone. With the increasing vehicular accidents happening, some countries restrict the use of mobile phones if it is hand held and to some countries using mobile phone is totally restricted while driving. With this, it would be better not to use your Blackberry 8900 which on the road.

Some schools also restrict the use of mobile phones because it is being used by students to cheat on tests, to harass people and sometimes causes threats to school security and other social activities in the school. It is also not advisable for students to use mobile phones because their focus is no longer on their studies but on their mobile phones.

There is also some health risks associated with the use of mobile phone because it emits electromagnetic radiations. Concerns about having cancer is being associated to its use due to the exposure to electromagnetic radiation of the person using it for a prolonged period of time. Although there are no scientific basis for this and those in the medical community thinks that the health effects being associated to its use is very unlikely, others still advise that precautionary measures be observed. One of the precautionary measures is to keep the mobile phone distant from the head and to keep it away from children.

Use of mobile phones also have privacy issues attached to it although no one would admit, it is being used by the government to conduct surveillance. Intelligence and law enforcement units of the government possess technology that can activate mobile phone microphones that can be used to listen to conversations taking place.

Mobile phones are also being used to track the location data of its users. The mobile phone’s geographical location can be easily determined using a certain technique to calculate the signals that travels from the mobile phones.

The main use of mobile phone is for communication but somehow it has its disadvantages because people you don’t want to get in touch to with just have the means to get in touch with you. There is an irony in this statement but it is somehow true to some of mobile phone users.

Blackberry 8900 sadly, does not have a 3D graphic feature. That is actually the reason why it is not included in the Blackberry 9000 series. How unfortunate it is that this feature will not be available for it is very important especially to those who loves to play online games or those who watch 3D movies or shows using their mobile handset.

Nokia 7610 Supernova

noreply@blogger.com (meyou) — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 00:54:00 +0000

We all know how beautifully the company Nokia divides its mobile phones in different series and while a series starting from “1” is the simplest of all mobile phone, those starting from “6” and “9” are basically for corporate and business use. The mobile phones by Nokia starting with the series “8” are the stylish phones that have class and amazing features altogether and the line starting from “7” are trendy phone designed keeping some target audience in mind.

Many users are loyal to the company and even before the induction of a new handset they know what they will like about it and what not. Whatever, be the case, you will find Nokia handsets selling the most in the market and this is exactly how we feel the Nokia 7610 Supernova will find a place for itself in the market.

Nokia 7610 Supernova is a simple handset that looks cute and handy. It is a small device but works wonderfully well and this handset with plastic casing body is stylish and tough at the same time. Here too you can change covers and provide a personal look to your mobile phone just like the old times. People used to love it and today once again we have got the same opportunity to cover our phone the way we want.

The handset even holds a monitor with mirror effect. This simple and easy opening mobile phone is actually what we were looking forward to have for a long time and here is the answer of all prayers today by Nokia.

Nokia 7610 Supernova is one of the latest introductions by the company and in fact it holds the flagship of series called Supernova. On the first look, Nokia 7610 Supernova would appear to be a slider phone fashionable enough for the present generation. However, it won’t be wrong in saying that the handset has got its design keeping in mind women folks and girls as its target audience. However, it does not make it a women perfume that cannot be checked by men.

Although, Nokia 7610 Supernova is not a high end phone by Nokia, yet you would find some good features clubbed with a beautiful casing. It is indeed not a smart phone and hence it would be a waste of time to expect features like Wi-Fi or GPS navigation feature. But yes one can easily look forward to a very decent and sound operating system, Symbian S60 OS.

If you are fond of multimedia features, Nokia 7610 Supernova is the apt mobile phone for you. It is correctly called the multimedia phone because of its highly professional multimedia features which include a good music player that provides the users with great sound, a nice camera that enables the user to click stills as well as make video footages and a nice set of ultimate games that makes Nokia 7610 Supernova an ultimate handset.

The unique feature that Nokia 7610 Supernova comes with include Theme Colorizer and along with it a couple of covers that are made of soft plastic. One can fit them up on the phone depending upon liking and make your mobile phone even more fashionable and trendy.

What’s good about the Nokia 7610 Supernova

Nokia 7610 Supernova is indeed an exceptional phone. It does not offer you with too many features that are hi-fi but whatever it offers you, they are usable, good and stylish. It offers an amazing display which a high point in the handset. The clarity of images seen on the screen is crystal clear. What adds on to the beauty of the handset is its glossy design. It is very difficult to get away from the magical impact of the phone for long. Seems Nokia has got its way into the minds and hearts of the people. Good quality of sound is another added advantage that the user enjoys in the mobile phone.

What’s bad about the Nokia 7610 Supernova

It is not meant for the high end users and hence does not offer your WiFi technology or GPRS. But one can’t expect such high end features from Nokia 7610 Supernova. Thus, if you are looking forward to something like these, Nokia 7610 Supernova is not meant for you.

Other than that, the major and basic problem that lies with the mobile phone are its batteries. The battery cannot stand for long. In other words, the battery life is too low in Nokia 7610 Supernova and if you are using applications like camera or listening to music you would have to keep charging your mobile phone.

Also, with well suited USB cable connection, it would have been much better to transfer data. This point is not a major one but even minor things make major difference in a product and from a company like Nokia the expectation levels are high as well. If in this domain they would have taken action, Nokia 7610 Supernova would have been even a better handset.

Nokia 7610 Supernova Review

Nokia 7610 design

Nokia 7610 Supernova is a beautiful looking slider phone. The beauty of the handset lies in its front case which gives the user a fascinating metallic feeling. It has also a trim that is made up of plastic and the two together look awesome. One can find a 3.2 megapixel camera at the rear of Nokia 7610 Supernova. Lower to the camera, one can easily locate a loudspeaker that possesses an excellent sound quality.

The connector to the charger is housed at the upper side of the phone and there itself, one can locate a headset jack of 2.5mm along with the power button. On the right hand side of the mobile phone, it is very easy to find volume control. A camera key and the music player key also are located in the same area. However, towards the left hand side, under the plastic cover lies hidden the micro USB connector.

An alphanumeric keypad is there to make the usage of Nokia 7610 Supernova easier. Definitely, the keys of the keypad are not the largest you will find in any of the mobile phones but yes comfortable enough.

Display and interface

Nokia 7610 Supernova is quite good as far as the QVGA display of the mobile phone is concerned. However, it is not as good as it could be if you take it out in the sun light. Unfortunately, with a phone that offers as many as 16 million colour display to the user and provides excellent kind of display indoors, it is indeed not expected.

The screen measures 2 inches and is kind of small for the kind of applications the phone provides. Nokia would have definitely done better than this.

Interface is a plus point in Nokia 7610 Supernova. We have earlier also discussed how S40 user interface makes it such a brilliant handset. The fact about its user friendly nature and simplicity makes it one of the best in the entire mobile market. Moreover, the user interface is not only about being user friendly but also offers smoothness in operations. It is much more fast than the rest and makes the user feel comfortable.

Connectivity, call quality
Nokia 7610 Supernova does not support 3G technology and thus, one cannot expect a high speed of data transfer from the mobile phone. The mobile phone features only GPRS and EDGE technology and works upon the GSM quad band network to offer good connectivity all over the world.

As far as the quality of call is concerned, it is quite good.

Also, Nokia 7610 Supernova features Bluetooth connectivity option and the A2DP feature for wireless transfer of data.

Camera and Video recording
With a camera of 3.2 megapixels, one can click some good snaps on their phone. 2048 x 1536 pixels resolution can be obtained on Nokia 7610 Supernova which even is blessed with other exciting features as auto focus and LED flash. Although the camera takes some really good snaps, but in today’s world of technologically strong and power puffed handsets, a 3.2 megapixel camera is somewhat a lower version. We can expect more from a company like Nokia for sure.

But still the camera delivers some really good stills with the aid of LED flash both outside as well as inside the house. Another advantage with the camera of Nokia 7610 Supernova is that it is very simple and easy to operate. It has a user friendly interface and the moment you switch it on, you can select your mode between portrait and landscape. Photo editing features are also enabled in Nokia 7610 Supernova like cropping the photo, adding frames etc.

Nokia 7610 Supernova also shoots videos and we can say that the quality of image is decent. It is definitely not one of the best nor is it too bad. Mediocre is the right word to define video footages shot by Nokia 7610 Supernova at a resolution of 15fps.

The biggest advantage or high point or attraction about Nokia 7610 Supernova is the feature of Colourise Theme. It enables the user to make their themes which something new in the mobile industry. You would not have seen such a thing happening earlier with any other mobile and for some users; it is really a big fascination.

However, it has a disadvantage as well. It takes on too much of memory space which is not a very positive point about the feature.

Music and videos on Nokia 7610 Supernova
Like any other mobile phone, even Nokia 7610 Supernova has an extraordinary music player with an amazing sound quality. There is a loudspeaker on the rear of the mobile phone that offers decent sound. It is comfortable to ears and only if the volume if full, you would find it noisy.

The music player also supports FM radio which comes with RDS support already integrated in the handset. This enables the user to enjoy music anywhere and at any time. With the aid of RDS features, the frequencies get connected to the mobile phone really soon and you can enjoy your favourite channel even while travelling.

Nokia 7610 Supernova also is preinstalled with a head set jack of 2.5mm. There are headsets already included with the mobile phone that fits in smoothly.

One has various functions in the music player that includes equalizer, themes, stereo widening features etc. It is really fun to listen to music on Nokia 7610 Supernova which possesses stereo phonic effects.

MP3, MPEG4, AAC and MPEG4 formats can be easily supported in Nokia 7610 Supernova to play videos. Hence if you love your videos, you can play them on a high resolution screen of the mobile phone and have one of the best experiences ever.

Web, email, games, others
Nokia 7610 Supernova offers amazing web browsing experience. It has preinstalled option of Yahoo! Go, which enables the user to browse the web and do whatever they feel like. E.g., one can download maps or see the news etc. other than the very feature, there is an additional application of Opera Mini already installed in the handset. But the speed of browsing is not very good owing to the presence of only EDGE technology. Nokia 7610 Supernova is also accessible to IMAP4 and POP3. All you need to do is to set up your account.

Other than the above mentioned features, Nokia 7610 Supernova has to do list, Widsets, currency converter and unit converter. Similarly, some of the very interesting games can be played on Nokia 7610 Supernova which includes 3D, Snake, Sudoku, Bounce and Sea Sweeper.

Data transfer
Here we believe Nokia 7610 Supernova has a short coming. It does not have USB cabled connection for data transfer. However, to transfer files one can use the Bluetooth feature and get going. Additionally, one can use the microSD card slot to transfer data. While the Bluetooth enables the user to transfer picture files, music files and videos form the mobile to other Bluetooth compatible devices like the PC, laptop or other mobile phones, the same transfer through microSD card becomes fast and much more sequential that Bluetooth in any case.

Nokia 7610 Supernova battery life
If your usage is not too heavy of the handset, the battery life is not at all a problem with Nokia 7610 Supernova. As it is the performance of the batteries is really good. You can play songs; use the digital camera ad for two and a half days the handset does not require charging at all. However, the problem lies after that. However, if you take some precautions for energy saving, you will find the battery working even better. These precautions include decreasing the intensity of backlight, when phone is not in use, activating the sleep mode and deactivating Bluetooth as soon as the transfer gets finished. These few points will help you bettering the life of your phone’s battery.

Final Words and Conclusion

There is a lot of competition for Nokia 7610 Supernova in the section of mobile phones it serves. But as they say competition is the best thing to happen for betterment and improvements.

Nokia 7610 Supernova stands tall in the crowd of phones available in the section and manages to woo its users. Partially the reason for its popularity lies in its beautiful and trendy look and partially it owes its success to the versatility the users find in it. But majorly, it is such a hit because it does not have any minus points if you look at it. It’s a trendy phone combined with functionality and beauty. Its compactness takes over every heart and the fact that it is a value for money phone is above all.

Nokia 7610 Supernova has every important feature that one would require like a 3.2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, FM with RDS features and a music player along with microSD memory card slot in order to add on to the existing memory to meet the requirements. And don’t forget those exchangeable covers that come in extras!

On the whole an amazingly versatile phone, modern, trendy and would satisfy the ser in every possible manner.

Samsung´s latest mobile phone, the Samsung Jet S8003, is the latest full touch mobile phone to hit Malaysia. Breaking away from multi-touch zoom technology which requires the use of two fingers and two hands, the Samsung Jet S8003 instead has a ´one finger zoom,´ which enables one-hand operation to zoom in and out.

The phone also supports smartphone features such as multi-touch manager and Microsoft ActiveSync.

With an 800MHz Accelerated Application Processor, the Samsung Jet S8003 also has a 3.1" 16M WVGA AMOLED display that provides a resolution that is four times higher than a WQVGA screen and has a 180Â° viewing angle. It is also very efficient in its power consumption. With its WVGA AMOLED technology, the Samsung Jet S8003 consumes 40% less energy than a mobile phone equipped with TFT-LCD display.

Meanwhile, Samsung Jet S8003 comes with a new TouchWiz 2.0 user interface (UI), an upgrade from previous TouchWiz user interfaces, and includes iconic new features such as motion UI, smart unlock, customisable widget screen.

Additionally, Samsung´s Dolfin Internet browser is designed to let users surf the net and access popular websites, especially social networking sites. It comes with a built in ad-blocker, multiple downloading and background downloading feature, and multi-purpose address field.

Users can view up to five web pages simultaneously and bookmark their favourite websites as widgets on the phone´s homepage, while Dolfin´s unique one finger zoom enables users to zoom in and out of web pages using only one hand.

The mobile phone also includes a 5 mega-pixel camera, Wi-Fi, DNSe & SRS Sound Effect technology and DivX and XviD video support for hassle-free video downloading and viewing.

The Samsung Jet S8003 also features ´motion gate´, Samsung´s own motion recognition engine which brings you access to your multimedia favourites as well as speed dialling just by tapping, tilting or flipping the handset.

Samsung CorbyTXT and Samsung CorbyPRO announced

noreply@blogger.com (meyou) — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 11:21:00 +0000

Milan, Italy, September 24, 2009- Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd, a leading mobile phone provider, has rapidly followed the successful launch of the Samsung Corby (model: S3650) by announcing two new mobile phones designed around the Corby concept, which aims to deliver stylish devices to support the highly connected lifestyles of today�s younger mobile users.

The new Corby family devices, dubbed Samsung CorbyTXT and Samsung CorbyPRO, seek to further meet the varied needs of the youth market, while aligning with Samsung�s strategy of designing mobiles to match every lifestyle.

The two models are differentiated by key features, including messaging, multimedia entertainment and business functionality, but also deliver the original Corby�s trademarks of bold colours, pop-style contours and a curved form factor.

�The Corby family is in-line with our ongoing strategy of developing different mobiles to match every lifestyle,� said JK Shin, Executive Vice President and Head of Samsung Electronics� Mobile Communications Division. �The focus with the original Corby and now with the Corby family has been to offer our consumers choice: choice over the colour of the handset, choice over how they stay connected and choice over the features and functionality that best suit their unique personalities and communications requirements.�

Samsung CorbyTXT (B3210)
The Samsung CorbyTXT is a message-centric mobile for heavy texters, delivering easy-to-use sms and IM (Instant Messenger) features as well as intuitive social media uploading functionality. The CorbyTXT also offers a full QWERTY keyboard on the face of the phone.

Quick launch buttons on the front of the handset provide fast access to key features including a music player, camera and messaging application. A 3.5mm earphone jack allows owners to use their own earphones and, like the original Samsung Corby, CorbyTXT comes with brightly-coloured fashion jackets and changeable battery covers including a simple black one and a second with a bold graphic design.

The Samsung CorbyTXT will be available in most European countries by the end of September.

Samsung CorbyPRO (B5310)
The Samsung CorbyPRO is a hybrid slider which takes the cutting edge design of the original Samsung Corby and adds a full, slide out QWERTY keyboard.

The slide out QWERTY keyboard provides its owners with a finger-friendly messaging and emailing experience without sacrificing the style of the original Corby. It also combines the features business users demand with a variety of entertainment and multimedia capabilities, all delivered in a stylish design. Features include push email services, conversational SMS and access to Facebook and MySpace.

In addition, the Samsung CorbyPRO packs a 3-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, 3G/HSDPA and quad band connectivity. From an entertainment perspective, the mobile also has a 3.5mm earphone jack and dedicated music keys.

The Samsung CorbyPRO will be launched in Europe during November and will soon be expanded to other markets.

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2

noreply@blogger.com (meyou) — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 17:17:00 +0000

On September 2, Sony Ericsson announced the upcoming release of the XPERIA X2, which is expected to see the light of day sometime in early Q4. As the XPERIA X1 replacement, the X2 is a big boy weighing in at four ounces and measuring 4.3” x 2.1” x 0.6” – but at least its profile looks like the type of futuristic electric razor you’d see in some Van Damme straight-to-video sci-fi epic. The XPERIA X2 is the first Sony Ericsson smartphone to offer Windows Mobile 6.5, but even Sony reps say that Mobile 6.5 isn’t as good as it should be. While the resistive touchscreen is a nice idea, early reports indicate that it’s as resistive as a good Catholic girl on her first date in the back of a car. Still, Windows Mobile on the XPERIA X2 is stylus-friendly, though the user interface is lagging (you know, like a little brother at the mall during Christmas shopping).

The XPERIA X2 also comes with 14 preloaded panels (16 more are available for download) that give you access to Skype, Mytopia and Google, games, CNN, and Windows Live. Plus there’s SlideView, which happens when you slide out the full QWERTY (there’s no accelerometer on the XPERIA X2), to give you fast access to the phone activities you use most and that means seeing missed incoming activity is made easy.

From a business perspective, there are a few features that make the XPERIA X2 desirable, such as the abilities to sync up your mail and calendar, edit MS Office Mobile docs, make conference calls, and to give presentations on a big screen via the TV out cable and port.

As a Sony product, the smartphone has some qualities that thankfully represent the music side of the company’s legacy, such as displaying album art, Bluetooth stereo, an equalizer, the Sony Ericsson media player, music tones, PlayNow arena, and Windows Media Player (though I’m not a fan).

And for the self-appointed hipster, there’s MMS, SMS, IM, predictive text (‘cause Lord knows it’s tough to type and smoke and drink a double mochaccino and walk with your Chelsea boots, all while thinking you’re the coolest thing since Cobain took the fun out of music), geo tagging, and panel personalization to include Facebook so you can upload your uber-cool scenester pics with ease.

Undressing the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2

Wow, so it seems I spilled the beans on what the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2 is capable of, so to finish I’ll list some of the specs. As you expected, there’s a camera on this smartphone, but it has an excessive 8.1 megapixels (why you need that many on a phone is beyond me). While the camera has AF, touch focus, an image stabilizer, and a camcorder, the 16x digital zoom is pretty useless. Internet features are what you’d expect, including such banal things as bookmarks, Google search, web feeds, and, of course, Internet Explorer.

The most important thing I should mention here is the screen; it’s a 3.2-inch WVGA with 480 x 800 pixels and 65,536 color TFT. Also, onboard memory maxes out at 110MB, but that’s expandable up to 16GB with microSD or microSDHC. Networks include GMS and UMTS with 10 hours and 6 hours of talk time respectively.

As stated earlier, the XPERIA X2 should be out before the end of the year, however, there’s no word on pricing yet.

Sony Ericsson T715

noreply@blogger.com (meyou) — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 06:53:00 +0000

The T715, an ultra solid slider phone offers a large keypad and font size which allows getting the most out of your SMS, MMS or email management. It helps to keep the customers structured in an innate way with its elegant desktop feature. Special animation and notes helps stay updated with all the birthdays, appointments and global events coming up. Records of the earlier call history and messages can be assessed quickly.

The turbo 3G network connection provides a hassle-free immediate internet browsing and the huge 2.2” screen shows the website brilliantly in day light.
Google Maps is also included in the T715 which has local search and guidelines and AccuWeather. This keeps one updated about the next three days weather forecasts and never allows oneself to fall short of umbrellas or sunglasses.

Quentin Cordier, Marketing Business Manager at Sony Ericsson said, “The T715 is a sophisticated slider mobile phone that fits a busy lifestyle and is perfect for those who are looking for a phone with practical and up-to-date features”. He further added, “Building on our current 3G portfolio, the T715 allows us to bring 3G mobile phones to even more markets giving them high speed internet access wherever they are. With a premium brushed aluminum cover and glossy front, this new mobile phone demonstrates the sophisticated design language consumers have come to expect from Sony Ericsson.”

The T715, with a size of the credit card has a high-quality finish which brings in a lot of classiness to life. With a 3.2 mega pixel camera and an attached photo light, whipping out and snapping in high-class pictures is an easy task even in a dim environment. The classy design of this new Sony Ericsson phone helps users keep in touch with friends and family no matter if in a business meeting or enjoying lunch with friends.

A Bluetooth Headset, VH310 was announced today which provides with three earpieces and two removable hooks. Also available is a handsfree without wires and it weighs at 10 grams and lasts on one charge for more than 20 days. The T715 supports HSPA 2100 and GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 while the T715a supports HSPA 850/1900/2100 and GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900.

This Sony Ericsson classic slider phone will be offered in chosen markets in 2 new colors namely Galaxy Silver and Rouge Pink, in Q3 2009.
