SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE

2012-02-10T11:33:00.000-08:00

positioning
Note galaxy in terms of positioning is very interesting. What is this device? Some would be considered a small tablet computer, while others say it's the oversized smart phone. Afterthe initial notification Samsung has changed the model number and put it in a separate category to highlight product features. In my opinion, the positioning of the device depends not only companies but also by understanding the needs of users and devices.

Technically, the device is not much different from the Samsung S2 Galaxy. The main difference is the larger diagonal screen and a larger capacity battery. At first glance, these are all the difference. Drawing parallels to say that it is a small notebook computer that fits in your pocket.

impressions
In my opinion, the option of drawing will be something by which users will choose this device. Everything else is less important, although the large screen and high-capacitybatteries attractive, the size of all devices to be canceled. Those users who do not understand what they should use this device, do not even have to think about it. If you love to draw or watch movies on the big screen and use the phone in one, then this modelcertainly deserves to look at it in detail. To my surprise, a large number of users Galaxy S2is moved to the notes to the positive comments.

It can be argued that the price of this model is not adapted to the device and that the same money can buy Galaxy S2.

After several months of using this device, I can say that this model is not for everyone. I do not want to draw, I keep notes in a notebook in a Galaxy S2 and iPhone 4s are sufficientfor most tasks. In my world there is no room for notes, but if I want to deal with drawing then the Note will be the first choice.

Sony Ericsson XPERIA PRO

2012-01-28T05:47:00.000-08:00

Technical features of the Xperia almost completely match with the Xperia Neo model, except for one item, which is that this has a full QWERTY keyboard that slides out the side.The Sony Ericsson Xperia range of mobile phones, is the fifth Pro Keyboard. The first fourwere the Xperia X1, X2, Xperia X10 pro and Xperia mini pro. Manufacturers do not need to experiment with the design of Xperia Pro models, so most of the Xperia Neo copied to theArc, which is logical. Nevertheless, MK16i fully characterized by its original appearance.

Impressions
The communication quality is high and comparable with other models Xperia range.Vibrating alert is average, but can be felt when a device in your pocket or jacket.

In his class at the moment, I think the Xperia Pro has no realistic competition. For example, Nokia E7 has an outdated operating system, large in size and weight, but it has a nicesliding keyboard. Smart phone HTC Desire runs on the old MSM7230 chip with the processor clock speed of 800MHz. Motorola Milestone is outdated model, but has one of the best keyboards. .

If you want a smartphone with full QWERTY keyboard and powerful enough for all the classicneeds, then Xperia Pro is an ideal choice for you.Class: smartphone

IPHONE 4S

2012-01-19T04:48:00.000-08:00

Apple has made another great product that is very important for the company as a testground for new Siri service, such as a few years ago it was Face Time, which was availableonly in the first four iPhone and iPod Touch devices, but later expanded and the othercompany's devices. What we have with the iPhone 4S convinces us to believe that theiPhone 5 have a completely different design, screen, processor, more system memory and maybe a different camera, in other words, there will be a completely different phone.

Siri
Apple has created a great add-ons. Do you often use a voice search, call, or whatever in that sense? My experience was quite frustrating because I often give up on numerousunsuccessful attempts. It just was not appropriate. As always, Apple has decided to merge the different functions, combine them, add a little simplicity and provide the right combination. The result is excellent. Siri works perfectly. This could lead to a Bluetooth device in combination with wired solutions on the market. Siri is not a toy. I personally do not like to fill the calendar, but here is a possible voice input tasks. Not all languages are supported at this time but if you use the English language you can start using Siri. Apple has just shown the way and Siri is an application for a number of features that are integrated into the operating system. Manufacturers of applications will be able to create a variety of additional software. iPhone 4S is an ideal solution for those with visual impairments. The device is very easy to use, calling, leaving messages, view weather data etc.

iPhone 4S became instant hit in the market because of its strong side compared to theiPhone 4

better performance
Longer battery life
Better camera, even better images and video clips
The audio quality has not changed but I think it's a plus for the new iPhone because the oldwas one of the best music phones on the market.
Siri, probably one of the best things for the iPhone 4S
It features excellent kvallitet phone calls.
Great design, materials of the body although there are some problems with build quality.

ITunes is not necessary to synchronize your iPhone. Now such a thing ispossible via WiFi, the option iMessage and other improvements. This OS is already available in the iPhone 4S. The disadvantages of the new iPhone are obvious - there is no new design, wallpaper, system sounds and all those special little details that are notunique to iPhone 4S. Even there is no new accessories for this device. When I connected the Sony DR50-BT Bluetooth headsets could not provide a profile for the AVRSP (only thePlay button was functional). I'm not sure if the problem with the phone or headset, but the problem exists.

Apple has made another great product that I believe is very important for the company as a test ground for new services such as Siri was a few years ago it was Face Time, whichwas initially available only on iPhone 4 and iPod Touch devices to be later expanded theother company's devices. This model is also a test ground for Apple icloud. What we havewith the iPhone 4S convinces me to believe that the iPhone 5 have a completely differentdesign, screen, processor, more system memory and maybe a different camera - oneword will be a completely different phone.

iPhone 4 owners are still asking me whether it is worth to upgrade to 4S. The answer isdefinitely yes if you are otherwise planned to buy a new device, since it is not known whenthe iPhone will appear 5.

NOKIA 700

2012-01-10T12:32:00.000-08:00

In late August this year the original Nokia 700 was announced.Its originality lies in the fact that this is the most compact of all smart phones with touch screen of the Finnish manufacturer.Another interesting fact is that this phone is the first that got a new Symbian operating system Belle. Upgrade is scheduled for the first quarter of the 2012th Smart phone Nokia 700 can be said to be the smallest among all Nokia models with sensors. It can be said that the Nokia 700 feels more like Android smart phone Xperia Ray.

Sales package:

phone
MicroSD Card 2 GB
network adapter
USB cable
Wired stereo earphones
Instructions for use

The communication quality is not satisfying. Vibrating alert is average and you will hardly feel it when the device is in the pocket of winter jackets.
After Nokia decided to move to Windows Phone 7 as the operating system that is on most devices of this company, smart phones based on Symbian are rare and are characterized by worsening features: the user interface mode, through bad communication options.Similarly, the Symbian version of Belle exists within this unit
By itself, this phone is not bad: light, thin. What i like is clean and bright screen and great sound quality music player. Also, an advantage to mention the ability to play most formats of video files.
The story of this model breaks its price. For the money that is necessary to pay for this model you can buy Nokia C7 model that is characterized by larger diagonal screen and original design. There are also C6-01, which is different from the Nokia 700 only at higher dimensions. Not to mention an army of Android smart phone.
Generally, if you want a nice, small, lightweight and relatively functional Symbian smartphone Nokia 700 is a good choice. Otherwise, it is better to buy Nokia C7 or Android device such as Samsung i9000 or i9003 Galaxy.

HTC SENSATION XL

2012-01-06T04:02:00.000-08:00

Although technically speaking smartphone HTC Sensation XL is by no means different from other models, but let's take for example based on a different model (Windows Phone 7), HTC Titan. The new model is positioned as a music smartphone. A large number of reasons in favor of this fact and the most important among them is the fact that certainly comes with quality headphones, and it features a special mode equalizer. What goes less in favor of this design is unusual for HTC. In this test we will write about all the functions and features HTC smartphone Sensation XL.

Sales package
In addition to phone sales package comes with a charger, USB-microUSB cable, instructions and wireless headphones with remote control of music. If you typically use a standard, affordable handset HTC, keep in mind that these headphones on the headset-based company iBeats Monster Beats Audio Production, and their market price is around U.S. $ 120 When it comes to the control panel are available for three music keys (Forward, Backward and Play) while the center button allows the user to accept the call.
Opinions about the design is subjective. I just want to point out that the smartphone live seems far more interesting than the photos. Thus, if you do not like coffee at the photos, it would be good to see it live and feel, maybe you will change opinion.

Housing MaterialsThe front of this smart phone features glass that protects the screen and that's resistant to scratches. As is usually the case, Gorilla Glass on the list does not yet have this model. The same was the case with the Sensation model but also with other devices.

The battery cover is made of aluminum, the lower part, and occupies the entire back of the case but a small part of the top. If you remove the lid, the device for 10 - 20 seconds loses contact with the base station.

ProductionBuild quality is excellent. The cover is securely attached to the rest of the cases - a few times my phone has been dropped on the floor and to the soft part of the device and the cover remains in place. If you press the screen there is no appearance of hesitation or answering any sounds, it was common Sensation models.

DimensionsIn terms of size, HTC Sensation XL belongs to a group of major appliances with the exception Acer Iconia Smart and Samsung Galaxy notes. It may be comparable to the XL Titanium with, but in terms of size are almost identical, in line with the Acer Iconia Smart.
Samsung Galaxy Notes - 146.9 x 83 x 9.7 mm, 178 gAcer Iconia Smart - 141.7 x 64.5 x 13.6 mm, 185 gHTC Sensation XL - 132.5 x 70.7 x 9.9 mm, 165 gHTC Sensation - 126 x 65.4 x 11.3 mm, 148 gSony Ericsson Arc S - 125 x 63 x 8.7 mm, 117 gSamsung S2 Galaxy - 125.3 x 66.1 x 8.5 mm, 116 gApple iPhone 4S - 115.2 x 58.6 x 9.3 mm, 140 g

Wearing the smart phone in your pocket can be jeans, but it may happen that the pocket is too narrow for a phone this size, so you need to take care of this.

During the conversation, it is possible to hold the phone normally, but due to its size it is not always easy. For example, if HTC Sensation XL stick in his right hand, I will not be able to touch the upper lower part of the screen if the phone does not hold with the other hand, since the phone can easily slip out of hand. If you have normal size hands, before you decide to HTC Sensation XL, consider carefully whether you are willing to change your habits regarding the use of the device with touch sensors as the phone you have to manage with two hands.
ControlsThe standard here is all. The main control panel screen and software button below it. On the left is the "Home" is used to return to a central screen or open a window with six running apps (hold button). If you click on the central screen you will see a matrix of all HTC Sense desktop and you can opt for either of them. The following key "Menu" is used to invoke the contextual menu (holding the keys - call or hide the keyboard on the screen). Following is the Back button to return back. The last button is there is a "Search". Clicking this button opens the search field and retaining key opens a voice search.
Soft keys are comfortable to use. Of course, not equivalent to the hardware buttons, but you can work with them without any difficulty.
From the front, the upper part, there is a grid headphones. Below and to the left speaker is the light and proximity sensors. To the right of the screen is 1.3-megapixel camera frontal.

Indicator light flashes green if there are missed calls, unread text messages or e-mail messages or other information, light green when you connect it to your computer or when the battery is fully charged (when the smart phone still connected to the charger). When the battery is low and flashing red when charging light continually red.
MicroSD memory card slot is located under the battery cover in the lower left corner.SIM card slot is under the battery cover.
ScreenHTC Sensation XL uses a capacitive touchscreen, S-LCD, 4.7 "diagonal WVGA (800 x 480 pixels). The relationship of physical screen size and resolution is far from ideal. For example, one of the largest PPI has the Apple iPhone 4S - 330th In HTC Sensation ppi value is 256, Samsung Galaxy II - 217 Even with devices such as HTC Rhyme and many others, PPI is higher than the HTC Sensation XL - only 199thFor users this means grainy picture. If you take a closer look you will see lines, circles and so on.

Of course, unless you look close you will not even notice it but it all depends on how you have used your phone. If it was a device with the same or a lower resolution, larger diagonal screen - then display the HTC Sensation XL does not seem bad.However, if you know the severity of the Apple iPhone 4 or Samsung Galaxy II - it is certain that this lack of notice.
The level of brightness is pretty good, viewing angles are also very good, and vertical and horizontani at maximum resolution. Reaction to touch is excellent, and because of its enormous size of the control panel is extremely simple.
CameraThe device is equipped with two cameras, the main 8MP camera and 1.3-megapixel camera on the front. Here we use the module with backlit matrix, BSI like on the HTC Titan. The new module provides slightly better image quality than is the case with ordinary Sensation models, so the companies in this parameter closer to the Android market leaders Samsung and Sony Ericsson.

The camera is surrounded by a metal ring and slightly elevated in relation to the surface. Besides the camera there are two LED lights that can be used when shooting can be manually switched on and off as you shoot or you can simply include them as needed using the application "Flashlight."

The camera interface HTC sensation XL is similar to that used in HTC Sensation, Incredible S, HTC Desire S. In the viewfinder mode on the right hand side is the info panel that displays information about the current recording mode (video or photo) and the status of the flash (auto, manual, off) and provides quick access to the gallery images and effects.

Available to the mute function when recording during video content can be changed by simply placing the focus of a finger on the screen to the other area where you want to focus your camera. Is not available tracking autofocus while shooting video. Change the resolution is available in record time.

BatteryThe device uses Li-Ion 1600mAh battery. The manufacturer claims that this battery can provide 11 hours and 50 minutes of talk time (GSM) and up to 360 hours (14 days) of standby. The actual figures are exaggerated, however, as with any smart phone with Android The standard battery.

My typical scenario of using the unit looks like this: listening to music 3 to 4 hours. The device is turned on constantly push mail option for two mail order, internet via WiFi and EDGE / HSDPA (average during the day search for about an hour). The calls went from 50 to 60 minutes a day. Also, during the day I sent 20-30 messages. In this mode, use the device in one week HTC Sensation XL is successfully surviving well into the evening or night. This is much better than it could offer a role model company a year ago, but is still far from good.
The device has a new section setting called "Energy Efficiency". From there you can access the various parameters that allow you to save battery power. When the battery charge level drops below a certain percentage of the phone suggests to switch to power saving mode in which the wireless interface is disconnected and the backlight is automatically adjusted among others.

PerformanceThe smartphone is built on Qualcomm QSD8255 platform where the processor clock speed 1.5GHz. The device has 768MB of system memory which is available for user applications to about 200MB (you can uninstall the software that runs in the background).

The phone comes only 16GB of internal memory storage, of which the user is available 12-13GB of data and 3.7GB of internal memory and 8.9 additional.

Generally speaking, the speed of the device is good and there is no lag. The difference in performance with the HTC Sensation dual-core processor and HTC Sensation XL with one core is almost imperceptible.

For PC phone uses microUSB sync cable that came in the box that uses USB 2.0 interface. When you connect your smartphone to your computer, you can choose five types of connections for the purpose of synchronization with the HTC Sync program to charge the device, transfer files to a memory card (drive) or use the device as a modem.

Built-in Bluetooth 3.0. supports the most popular profiles including A2DP
Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n). Working with Wi-Fi module does not cause any problems.Smart phones can be configured for Wi-Fi transmission in sleep mode using only static IP addresses when you connect and adding security certificates. When using Wi-Fi, the smartphone is hardly heated at all. Warming up is minimal and hardly noticeable.
DLNA. The smartphone supports DLNA, so if your home is DLNA compliant media server, then you can use this device to connect to other devices, so watch videos or play sounds directly on your TV.
NavigationSmart phone uses Qualcomm's integrated chip for the purpose of navigating through the gpsOne technology. The device has built-in Route 66 navigation software like Google Maps and Google Navigation. Maps provides route calculation (without voice tips), can search street or specific address and location. Navigation with Google you can do with navigation routes and voice guidance.
SoundThe main feature of HTC Sensation XL, as well as all the models whose prefix XE - is that they sound much better than Motorola's handsets. Model XL for two levels provides a better quality of music than other HTC models.

First - Special Beats Audio equalizer setting that includes each time you start turning the music headphones.
Headphones have a remote to control music and calls as well as special equipment for storage, which is very nice.

In the smart phone, there are no additional items that allow the improvement of the sound. In my opinion, this headset is ideal for those who listen to techno. Thus, these headphones would be ideal for those who prefer this type of music, while the other undemanding user will not be problematic.Each keystroke on the screen follows the small vibration that facilitates users to feel what they press. Switching between languages can be done using separate keys pressure. This is a very simple and the same button is also responsible for entering your voice messages.
On-screen keyboard you can hide by pressing and holding Menu button and dedicated. Under the keys with the letters a sliding panel that moves the cursor through the text if you make a mistake. This is much easier to work when the text is enlarged as an option that was first introduced just for this phone. When you keep your finger on the text of a few seconds activate the pop up window with enlarged fragment of text and cursor. You can easily move the cursor along the fragment.When your finger leaves the screen you will see additional menu to select the text or fragment.
The keyboard has a personal dictionary in which you can store the new words you use frequently. With the Desire HD, you can edit the dictionary, which is not new and can synchronize with the backup on the memory card.
It is also important to note that due to screen size of this model using on-screen keyboard is very nice. This is probably one of the most handsome, smart phones on-screen keyboard that comes from the company HTC, and perhaps the entire market.
Software, HTC Sense 3.5The smartphone runs on Android 2.3 operating system while the user interface uses the HTC Sense 3.5.

Main characteristic 3.0 Sense and Sense 3.5 is a new lock screen. There is a field with four shortcuts to programs and circle at the bottom. If you drag the circle to the center of the screen - you'll just unlock the screen. If you drag the circle to one of shortcuts or the insert in a circle - you open the program. A very handy feature that is implemented in the Meizu M8 and M9, but does not yet exist in other devices.

The smartphone also has a specific instruction in electronic format by the different explanations of how the specific characteristics and its programs. This guide is downloaded from the network when you access it.
ConclusionThe reception quality of the model Sensation XL is standard for modern phones, no loss of network which sometimes happens with HTC devices. Ringing also deserves credit as they hear the bell even in the subway. The handset is very good quality and provides a suitable means of communicating with someone nice. The vibration is very weak, almost imperceptible.
The official price of HTC Sensation XL is quite high for the smart phone of this range, despite the fact that it even comes with headphones that are not at all cheap.A version of this model with the black market for as many as a third cheaper than that when it comes to formal models.
When you know the specific conclusions about this device I'm not sure where to start. On the one hand, completely understand the move of HTC. This company has taken the platform it is based on the HTC Titan, but chose a different operating system. The company has positioned itself as a model music phone and complete its advertising relies on. This is a good approach to a company so wishes to emphasize the diversity of its model range.
On the other hand, I must point out that my HTC Sensation XL as a device a lot. For several reasons. The first is the design and color of the device. I love brightly colored phones, especially where there is not much white on the market. For the same reason, the very model we liked the HTC Hero. Second, despite the fact that this model is very bulky dimensions it has its advantages. For me one of the benefits is certainly a benefit to the keyboard entry screen. This one is now typical for HTC Sensation range, not to mention the Apple iPhone. 4th

Do you buy this device or not the next question that arises. The answer is surprisingly clear considering that the number of concerns that I raised. If you like this device and do not mind you to extract the amount of money needed for it, then be sure to buy it. If on the other hand you do not like the design then it may be better to look for some other model, even considering that HTC Sensation offers an interesting solution other than this and that is Sensation XE.

Samsung Omnia W I8350

2011-12-30T09:40:00.000-08:00

New offer of Samsung did not differ significantly from the competitive model, but is well balanced. For example, HTC Mozart features a 1GHz processor and S-LCDscreen, while the Samsung Omnia has a 1.4GHz model and the Super AMOLED. ForNokia Lumia should allocate more, and for the HTC TITAN. Interestingly, the Samsung Omnia features installed W Bing search engine. The device is made of glossy plastic, partially in black and features a sturdy design. The rear is made of metal.

Design, build quality, controlThis smart phone is a classic candy bar phone which measures 115 x 58mm, thickness is 10.9mm (thickness HTC Mozart is 119x60x11.9mm, Nokia Lumia - 116x61x12.1mm) and its weight is 115 grams (Mozart weighs 13 grams, and Lumia 142 grams).
The device is made of glossy plastic, partially in black and features a sturdy design.The rear is made of metal. The screen is protected by a special material in order to prevent scratches from sharp objects (not a Gorilla Glass). As with most other devices, fingerprints are visible on the screen but is easily cleared. The build quality is excellent Omnia models: two weeks of continuous use there was no appearance of hesitation..There is a possibility that only comes a device that has been tested and that the commercial versions of the situation will be different.

The device fits in the hand thanks to a smooth transition from rear to the front surface and the edge that provides comfort when using your phone conversation.

From the front, the upper part is light and proximity sensors. React very quickly and has no problems handling. Next door is a forward-facing camera for video calls and is located next to the speaker that is loud and you hear the caller loud and clear.Below the screen are two touch-sensitive buttons: "Back" and "Search". When you press "Back" and hold it down with a prior call to me to start the application. The "Search" to search engine powered by Bing. The level of brightness is very good, not blinding my eyes. It is activated when you click on one of the buttons and switches off after five seconds. In the center there is a mechanical "Start" button to return to the home screen from any menu. Oval in shape and gentle pressure is enough of a button.
On the bottom there is a microUSB switch (for data synchronization and connect the charger) and microphone. On the left is a thin and long key for volume control. On the right is the on / off button and the camera activation key. It can launch the camera application even when the phone is locked. To do this, it is necessary to adjust the settings: "Settings" - "Applications" - "Photo + Camera". The existence of separate buttons for still photos, a big plus.

The top end is a standard 3.5mm audio jack for headphones and microphone for added noise reduction (in my copy of this microphone was missing since it is a non-commercial version).
Speaker, camera and flash are located on the back.
To remove the cover, you need to move the tab to the right. SIM card is located under the battery, and is backed by swap. However, it is necessary to restart the phone.
ScreenThe device features 3.7 "screen (physical size is 80x48mm) resolution is standard for WP7 - smart phone - 480 x 800 pixels, and a density of 252 pixels per inch - the same as the HTC Mozart (HTC Radar - 246 pixels per inch and 3.8 "diagonal).Provided support for up to 16 million colors, as well as support for simultaneously pressing the four buttons.

The display features Super AMOLED (Active-Matrix Super Organic Light Emitting Diode), which is installed on the Nokia 800 Lumia and other smart phones. The advantages of this technology are indisputable: high levels of brightness and runtime. However, it has its weaknesses, because of unusual construction pixels (this is not a traditional RGB and RGBG) definition is lower than that of TFT matrix.

Viewing angles are fairly large, realistic colors and a complete view of a mild bluish tint. The depth of color is excellent thanks to the Super AMOLED, while white color looks great and natural than the S-LCD or conventional TFT-LCD matrix. Brightness level is very high and can be set manually (available as three levels - low, medium and high) or light sensor. There is an a very interesting feature: the screen is far brighter the background brightness level mitigates the phone and vice versa.
When comparing the screen of the Samsung i9000 and Samsung Omnia, it turns out that the latter are characterized by vivid colors. In the sun the screen is both good behavior and the information is legible.

In the setting "Block + Background", it is possible to adjust the screen backlight duration in length from 30 seconds to 5 minutes. He also provided the password for the lock screen and change the backlight, "Screen Lock".
CameraSamsung i8350 has a 5MP camera. There is a LED backlight for one section, and frontal VGA camera for video calls. Image resolution is 2560 x 1920 pixels, video, 1280 x 720 at 30fps.
The average size of the photo file is 1.5MB, which is enough that when using JPEG compression can not see the grain structure in the photos. The flash is functional at a distance of 1.5 to 2m. It works only when shooting.
Focusing is achieved using automatic mode when you tap the screen or click a mechanical button to the right.
Application camera interface looks exactly like all Windows Phone 7 devices. Unlike the HTC smartphones available settings Panorama modes, Burst and Face Detection. Some of them can be implemented in the application "Photo Studio".Among the settings and options for other modes. This is a program that is essentially a photo editor and offers exposure adjustment, brightness, contrast, color, rotated and cutting.

When recording video following options are available: white balance, effects, contrast, color saturation, sharpness, exposure, quality and size. Please note that when shooting video by default the camera captures video in VGA resolution.Therefore, you should be careful to change the resolution if necessary to HD or 720p. Video quality is good and comparable for example with the model Samusng i9000. The sound is definitely better with model Omnia, but the example of HTC Mozart or radar.

According to my experimental data, call drains the battery for 5.5 hours while video playback at maximum brightness, the highest level of sound through the speaker drains the battery for 4 hours. When we speak of continuous music playing behind the same result with attached earphones and volume set to maximum took 17 hours.
On average, the battery life is slightly less than one day. My scheme of using this device was as follows: 15-20 minutes of daily conversation, about 2 hours of music, one hour of video playback, the same time use cameras, four hours of work with WiFi networks (twitter, email, installing applications).
The device is USB charging lasting over 2.5 hours while power supply is much less time.
With the aim of saving battery the phone can not exclude a number of services. So you can turn off and receive e-mail programs that work in the background. At the same time it is possible to take calls, send messages and manually retrieve e-mail.You can choose one of two modes.
Include save battery if the battery is charging.Include save battery charging izeđuIn addition, the available information on remaining battery charge level (in percentage) and the estimated time since the last filling (days and hours).

PerformanceSamsung Omnia smartphone W uses Qualcomm MSM8255 chipset. The code name of the Snapdragon processor S2, architecture and manufacturing process are ARMv7, 45 nm. CPU clock speed is overclocked which is 1400MHz. The same processor is installed in the Nokia 800 model Lumia. Within the model HZTC Mozart, was installed 1GHz Qualcomm QSD8250 - previous generations, the HTC 1GHz Qualcomm MSM8255 Radar (not overclocked), while the 1.5GHz model Titan HTC Qualcomm MSM8255.

As a graphics accelerator in the Omnia model was used Adreno 205 with support for Open GL ES 20, OpenGL ES 1.1, Open VG 1.1, EGL 1.3, Direct3D Mobile and DirectDraw.

Increased processor clock speed in the normal operation of the device is not visible, since all Windows Phone devices operate quickly and smoothly. However, the speed of opening sites is increasing. For example, HTC Mozart the same page opens for 6-7 seconds, while Samsung's model need only 3-4 seconds. The difference in the speed of launching applications is not noticeable.

LinkingThe device works in 2G networks (850/900/1800/1900) and 3G (900/2100), the standard supports data transfer GPRS, EDGE (Class 32), HSDPA (up to 14.4 Mbps) and HSUPA (5.76 Mbps. There is support for Wi -Fi 802.11 b / g / n, Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP (AVRCP, HFP, HSP, PBAP), microUSB 2.0. handset application, "Wireless." When the device is enabled for 3G and Wi-Fi Router.

When you connect your Samsung phone to a PC it will automatically ask you to install special software to synchronize data "Zune". Without it, the phone is not even defined as a USB Flash. Transfer data between your phone and your computer is the tool for synchronization. Photos and video content is stored in "My Documents" - "Images" - "From Player Samsung GT-I8350".

NavigationWithin the model used is the W Omnia GPS module gposONE seventh generation.Also, the device supports hardware and software solution "gpsOneXTRA Assistance" "To work with navigation applications are provided Bing Maps. I have no tracking adjustments. For the first launch of GPS systems should be 1 to 2 minutes for each additional up to 5 seconds.

Severe capsIn this section I will mention only one aplication that are installed in this copy of the Samsung Omnia W.

Now. Analog HTC hub feature. Displays animated weather information (for the current day and the next three) news, information from the Stock Exchange, as well as the main tweets.

Video calls. Provides high-end vidoe telephony in 3G networks. Entering numbers is possible, call a favorite group or from the directory.

Photo Studio. I talked about it in the camera section.
AllShare. The ability to share multimedia files with devices that support DLNA as to the HDTV, monitors and cameras.
PhotoFun. By analogy with "Photo Booth" on IOS.

RSS Times. Simple RSS feeds .- Selection option to sign or to use pre-installed directories.

Mini Diary. It allows you to create notes in different multimedia formats and start your digital diary.

The rest of the standard.
MultimediaMusic player. Sound quality is good, but the player lacks an equalizer and other extras. For example, HTC devices have previously installed filter dubbed "Better Sound" as part of the equalizer settings in SRS. If you cover the speaker volume is reduced by 30 to 40%.

Video player. The device detects formats such as MP4, 3GP and WMV with resolutions up to 720p. To transfer video content to your phone using a Zune. If an application does not recognize the format it is clear that he will not be recognized either by the player.
ImpressionsThe quality of communication did not cause any problems, GSM receiver sensitivity was strong. Vibration is a powerful and can be felt even in the winter jacket pocket.
Competitors to this model there is not much: Acer Allegro - 1 GHz processor, 3.6 "diagonal, TFT-LCD matrix; HTC Mozart weaker processor, inferior quality of the screen, 8 MP camera, if not better pictures than the Samsung, HTC Radar has approximately the same parameter but 1GHZ processor clock, and the screen is used for S-LCD technology. In addition, both the more expensive model, the Nokia 800 Lumia - in some ways is superior to the model Omnia (8 MP camera, 16 GB, but the starting price is higher.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S

2011-12-25T08:08:00.000-08:00

The easiest way to extend the life of relative good device, which was launched a year ago and is still selling, is to enhance certain characteristics and added a new modeldesignation. This is exactly what Sony Ericsson did with its successful model of Arc,after its name is added with the label provided by overclock and GiovanniMSM8255T Qualcomm processor. In addition, it was decided to change the color.Now the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S is available in white and pink colors, and there is a universal black.

PositioningWhat is needed to extend the "life" relative good device that was introduced a year ago and is still selling? The easiest way is to enhance certain characteristics and added a new model designation. This is exactly what Sony Ericsson did with its successful model of Arc: After adding a tag called "S" and provided overclocked processor Qualcomm MSM8255T Giovanni. In addition, it was decided to change the color. Now the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S is available in white and pink colors, and there is a universal black.

Given the fact that tests for the SE Arc and Arc with the already published and are practically the same, this time there will be a description of the large number of items so that more attention be devoted to testing the old and the new model.
The design, size and controlI understand the look that's Xperia Xperia Arc and Arc that S is not simple. The only way is to recognize the rear cover color. For example, the first Arc is characterized by the transition from dark silver to black, while the second model completely black.In addition, the previous model had body pink and white. This is the end all the visual differences.

If the fingerprints and scratches are not noticeable in appliances in white, then the other colors are very noticeable. When the device is pressed in the hand is a phenomenon noticeable creaks, while for the design of the apparatus must say that it is ergonomic.

The front side is the light and proximity sensors. In addition there is a speaker. The volume is very good, and the caller will hear loud and clear. Unfortunately, the new version has no frontal camera, although ideally it's there. The screen is protected by mineral glass. On the bottom are three buttons: "Back," "Home" and "Menu". It's just a slight pressure on them, walking is shallow.

On the left is a standard 3.5mm audio jack, while on the right hand side button for volume control, microUSB and missed call indicator and a small button to activate the camera. Frankly speaking, the use is tricky because of the location - located on the lower edge. On the bottom there is a microphone and holes for bands - almost submerged on / off button and microHDMI connector with cover.
Speaker, camera lens and LED flash, and an additional microphone are placed in the rear.

ScreenScreen size is 4.2 "(physical size is 93x52mm), while the resolution is 480x854 pixels (density of 233 pixels per square inch). This screen uses a technology that does not allow the existence of air in the space between the matrix (LED back-lit LCD) and the protective glass . capacitive screen sensitivity is high.

Viewing angles are small, at a certain angle loses contrast images. Color rendering at right angles gives a great picture and rich colors, similar to the "Mobile BRAVIA Engine". In any case, it is far more inferior compared to Super AMOLED Plus matrix, and even the Super AMOLED.
Compare Samsung Galaxy screen notes (SuperAMOLED) (left), Sony Ericsson Arc (LCD with LED backlight), Samsung Galaxy (SuperAMOLED), Samsung Omnia W (SuperAMOLED), HTC Mozart (S-LCD), Samsung Ace (TFT- LCD), the Nokia 700 * (CleareBlack AMOLED) (right):

Screen Brightness Samsung 700 and a maximum brightness is more than a photograph due to the fact that the photographs shot in the dark and light that the sensor slightly drowned out the backlight.
BatteryThe phone uses the same Li-Ion 1500 mAh battery BA750 as a model Xperia Arc.The manufacturer claims it can provide up to 7.5 hours of talk time (GSM) (the original Arc model it was 7 hours) and up to 460 hours standby time (430 in the original Arc). In terms of continuous playback time the manufacturer claims that it is a 37 or 30 hours of the original model. In general, the differences are not great.

With the aim of testing the battery, I used a special application Antutu Tester.Schematically are interesting. The unit has made 494 points, more than the Samsung Galaxy SL, Galaxy S2 and LG Optimus 2X.

Test results for Sony Ericsson Arc - 515 points, with Wi-Fi disabled. This means that S Arc and Arc or have the same results, or the Arc with a little more economical in terms of energy consumption.

In practical use the following data were obtained: standby smart phone worked for about a week and 20 hours when playing music at maximum bright sound system (with headphones) and up to 5 hours when playing HD video content with automatic lighting. On average, 20 - 25 minutes, an hour taking pictures, just as music, four hours of using Wi-Fi (Twitter and Skype About it is the same as the Sony Ericsson Arc model.

CommunicationSmart phone supports 2G (GSM 850/900/1800/1900) and 3G (HSDPA 900/2100).Speeds are up to 86 Kbps GPRS, EDGE up to 237Kbps, HSDPA and HSUPPa 14 Mbps and 5.8Mbps, respectively. Available standard WiFi 802.11 b / g / n. The device can be used as a Wi-Fi access point for other devices. In addition, the smartphone provides support for DLNA wireless standard that offers compatible devices transfer and receive various media content and display them in real time.Voice and data can be used in Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP.

Memory, Memory CardWith Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S, as well as a range of Xperia, available with 512MB of RAM, a possible increase to 720MB or 1GB. Internal memory is 280 MB.The device comes with a 8GB card, and possibly up to 16GB. The maximum supported capacity microSD cards up to 32GB.

CameraThis smart phone as the previous model has an 8MP camera with autofocus and flash. The camera on the front is missing. It is not clear why the manufacturer decided not to implement a camera on the front. Describe the options offered by the camera does not make much sense, you might want to read the previous test devices. Here are several examples of photos and video of the statue. I noticed that the camera takes very good video when it comes to video clips.
From the photo files you can see the EXIF information.

PerformanceWhat now follows is the most interesting
Smart phone Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc is built on Qualcomm QSD8255 platform where the 1GHz processor clock. In models with Xperia Arc is using the same chipset, but the clock speed increased to 1.4GHz. Interestingly, the MSM8225 can operate at 400MHz higher clock work but overclocking is done manually. Graphics accelerator is the same Adreno 205th There are no other differences.
Visually, the SE Arc is the same as the SE Arc. Here are some tests that show the work of the two devices while the third control device will be made on the Xperia Play and Stop technology Xperia Arc.

Software platformOnce the Xperia Arc S had an exclusive version of Android, the 2.3.4. Now this firmware installed on Xperia entire 2011 line. Now users have the ability to take pictures without using any special applications: You need a long pressing the phone and choose "Take a screen shot." The new update increases the stability of the device and make patches for bugs observed.

Regarding the issue of whether the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S can be improved in Android 4.0, it should be noted that the full range of Xperia models from this year to have this opportunity.
ConclusionIf you like the Xperia Arc model, it is logical at this point to buy Xperia Arc In spite of the fact that it is not big difference in performance, but in the games and content of a internet search new model shows better.

HTC RHYME

2011-12-19T17:26:00.000-08:00

PositioningRhyme HTC phone is by no means intended for ladies only, although the description of the device prevail words like "elegant" and the like. The entire apparatus is characterized by the appearance of fine details and the impression is that this is the right device for the gentler sex. Housing design, paint, where all three colors in warm and pleasant tones, and the selection of topics are unobtrusive and relaxed. In addition, HTC Rhyme comes with great additional features that are highly convenient for the owner of this phone.

DesignIn my opinion HTC Rhyme strange looks. On the one hand he has a very simple form of housing and pleasant colors, on the other hand, some additional elements that are not characterized by a logical choice. For example, proximity sensors and light, the camera on the front of the device.

Available to buy this smart phone is available in three colors: red, light blue and purple. For appliances in beige and light blue version additional elements are made in white, a flashlight (HTC Charm) is also white, while the accessories for purple version available in other shades of purple. In certain markets this model will be available only in beige and light blue, while the variation in purple come later.

Beige is a neutral variant of the model and is suitable for both men and ladies. In fact, it is difficult to discern color, I think that it is the color of coffee, or simply phone dirty white.
Housing MaterialsThe casing is made of using the aluminum frame but it is not material that is made much of the housing. It's a frame around the screen, which is turning into a small metal stripe on the back. However, plastic parts have become more noticeable. The top and bottom of the apparatus observable parts are made of soft touch plastic and the back of the case. The upper part of the device is lighter and the darker bottom.The upper part of the move can not be located below the memory card slot and SIM card. The battery of this smart phone can not be removed.

Is a pleasure to hold this device in hand primarily because of its excellent combination of materials. Phone does not have a tendency to slip out of your hands so you need not worry that you will not drop. During the telephone conversation is also nice in the hand.
Build qualityThe build quality is good. The cover slots for memory card firmly in place and there are no gaps between the other parts that move.

DimensionsIn size this model is similar to the HTC Desire S as well as many other compact smart phones such as HTC Titan Nexus, or Galaxy. Compare the size of these models:
Samsung Galaxy II - 125.3 x 66.1 x 8.5 mm, 116 gApple iPhone 4S - 115.2 x 58.6 x 9.3 mm, 140 gHTC Desire S - 115 x 59.8 x 11.6 mm, 130 gHTC Rhyme - 116.8 x 61 x 10.1 mm, 130 g

The smartphone is easy to carry in your pocket, even in a shirt pocket or jacket, due to their generally small size.

ControlsAs with all other new devices of this company, and in this model under the screen there is a block made up of four touch-sensitive buttons. The "Home" is used to return to a central screen or open a window with eight running apps (hold button). If you click on the central screen you will see a matrix of all HTC Sense desktop and you can opt for either of them. The following key "Menu" is used to invoke the contextual menu (holding the keys - call or hide the keyboard on the screen).Following is the Back button to return back. The last button is there is a "Search".Clicking this button opens the search field and retaining key opens a voice search.

Button to turn off the screen is right above screen .

The volume of the sound is located on the left side and is almost level with the surface of the body without looking so you will hardly be able to manage these keys.This is not common with HTC smartphone, but you will eventually get used to.

From the front, the upper part, there is a grid headphones. Below and to the left speaker is the light and proximity sensors. To the right of the screen is forward-facing VGA camera. It can be used for video conversation. The indicator light flashes green if there are missed calls, unread text messages or e-mail messages or other information, light green when you connect it to your computer or when the battery is fully charged (when the smart phone still connected to the charger). When the battery is low and flashing red when charging light continually red.

microUSB socket for charging and connecting your smartphone to the computer is on the left. MicroSD memory card slot is located under the battery cover in the lower left corner. Replacing the Memory card is not required to discontinue use. SIM card slot is under the battery cover. Although theoretically not necessary to turn off the phone to replace the memory card, it is far from changing traditional hot swap cards.

ScreenHTC Rhyme, a S-LCD capacitive screen diagonal length is 3.7 "which is the same as the Desire S and a resolution of 800x480 pixels (WVGA) 80.5x48mm physical size and supports up to 16 million colors. The level of brightness is more than adequate. The colors are rich and in terms of sharpness.

Viewing angles are the maximum and the image does not fade even when viewed from the side. When the sun fades the screen but is still readable.

Generally, the screen is of good quality, and through him to perform all functions. Not a question of any cutting edge technology ensures maximum image quality, such as the Apple iPhone 4S or SGS II apparatus, but the picture is pleasant to watch, no grainy texture, and the display features a high standard.

CameraThe device is equipped with two cameras, a 5MP main camera and 0.3MP camera on the front. The camera lens is located in the upper back of the device and is slightly concave to the surface casing (0.5 mm) is surrounded with gold-colored frame.

The camera interface is the same as in HTC Desire S. In the viewfinder mode on the right hand side is the info panel that displays information about the current recording mode (video or photo) and the status of the flash (auto, manual, off) and provides quick access to the gallery images and effects.

If rotating the smart phone, the icons on the panel will automatically change its orientation, ie, the interface is suitable for both portrait and landscape orientation for.
Photo. The list of supported resolutions, both standard (4:3) and Wide (3:2 ratio) is as follows:
5 M (W) - 2592x15523M (Wide) - 2048x12161M (Wide) - 1280x768L (W) - 640x384
White balance:
CarIncandescentFluorescent lampDaylightCloudyAs with the HTC Desire HD device has a graphics window with visual inspection.Number of effects may be increased. Below you can see a collection of photos with each applied effect.Pored addition, you can always play with the levels of sharpness, saturation, contrast and exposure, ISO (from 100 to 800) or enable / disable the sound of the shutter, viewfinder grid, timer and geotagging (with GPS).

The quality of images in different modes can be estimated on the basis of several examples. Quality photos of HTC Rhyme is not far from the original Desire and something worse than an advanced Desire S. However, this is just my opinion.

video. Video is recorded at a rate of 29-30 frames per second in 3GP format (H.264 codec). The sound clips are encoded using the AAC codec.
Video is available in the following resolutions:
HD 720p - 1280x720WVGA - 800x480VGA - 640x480L - 320x240MMS - 176x144Also available is a slow-motion video - slow-motion (x).
Settings for video content are the same as for the photos. It is available on / off function when recording during video content can be changed by simply placing the focus of a finger on the screen to the other area where you want to focus your camera. Is not available tracking autofocus while shooting video. Change the resolution is available in record time.

Recorded video can be immediately edited, or cut off the area that you do not need.
BatteryThe device uses Li-Ion 1600mAh battery. Bearing in mind that increased capacity is expected that HTC I Rhyme provide longer battery life than some previous models, but unfortunately it did not happen and the battery lasts just as in HTC Desire S.
My typical scenario of using the unit looks like this. In morning phone with charger, turn on the music and move somewhere. Depending on the music I listen to daily obligations 3 to 5 hours. The device is turned on constantly push mail option for two mail account, sometimes I read something from the internet (average during the day search for about an hour). The calls went from 40 to 60 minutes a day. In this mode, use the device in one week HTC Rhyme successfully surviving well into the evening or night, having made one working day of work or maybe even a little more.

Rhyme HTC has a new section setting called "Energy Efficiency". From there you can access the various parameters that allow you to save battery power. When the battery charge level falls below 15% (this parameter, you can check yourself) suggests that the phone switch to power saving mode in which all interfaces (except network) is disconnected and the backlight is automatically adjusted among others.
PerformanceThe smartphone is built on Qualcomm QSD8255 platform where the clock speed of 1GHz processors. The device has 768MB of RAM and 4GB of internal memory which is available for user applications to 700-800MB. I believe that the performance of the device efficient enough for most cases. In addition, Android 2.3 enables you to install some software on the memory card, which indicates that you will not run out of space for programs even if you install them on a daily basis.

As Desire S and other devices company smart phone supports DivX and Xvid codecs. A complete list is as follows 3gp, .3 g2,. Mp4,. Wmv (Windows Media Video 9). Avi (MP4 ASP and MP3), xvid (MP4 ASP and MP3). In reality, for comfortable viewing of videos in any case need to install an alternative player (eg Rock Player).
The overall speed of the device is excellent. No slowdowns when working with different applications.
LinkingThe smartphone supports GSM (850/900/1800/1900) and UMTS (900/2100) network as EDGE and HSDPA are also available. Various communication modules can be changed in the settings menu or with the help of widgets. Separate widget buttons are also available for the Android OS standard widget.

For PC phone uses microUSB sync cable that came in the box that uses USB 2.0 interface. When you connect your smartphone to your computer, you can choose five types of connections for the purpose of synchronization with the HTC Sync program to charge the device, transfer files to a memory card (drive) or use the device as a modem.

Built-in Bluetooth 3.0 (A2DP, EDR). supports the following profiles. Sound quality device provides when listening to music through wireless headphones is good, whereas I used the HTC Rhyme listening to music via wireless headphones Creative WP-300 and I was quite pleased.
Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n). Working with Wi-Fi module does not cause any problems.Smart phones can be configured for Wi-Fi transmission in sleep mode using only static IP addresses when you connect and adding security certificates. When using Wi-Fi, the smartphone is hardly heated at all. Warming up is minimal and hardly noticeable.

Wi-Fi router. Rhyme HTC and other smartphones based on Android 2.2 and later versions can be "shared" 2G/3G Internet connection with Wi-Fi. Works as follows: in the settings, select wireless interfaces Wi-Fi option that activates the appropriate settings to select the network name, password and connection type (WEP, WPA, WPA2).

In addition to these, you can select the desired access point (APN) for internet connection and enable a routing. You can also go online using your laptop via Rhyme and routing using GPRS / EDGE or UMTS / HSDPA connection-configured on your phone. These feats can be useful if you travel or are at and you can not get for some reason the connection over WiFi, but you have a local SIM card with a relatively low-cost 2G/3G traffic. This is very convenient when you say you are sitting at a coffee shop and say you want to check of e-mail using a laptop computer.

NavigationHTC uses Qualcomm Rhyme's built-in chip for the purpose of navigating through the gpsOne technology. Search for satellites lasted from 10 to 15 seconds (we used a Maverick application).
The device has built-in Route 66 navigation software as iGoogle and Google Maps Navigation .. Maps provides route calculation (without voice tips), can search street or specific address and location. Navigation with Google you can do with navigation routes and voice guidance.

Now let's say a few words about HTC Navigation. It runs through the Location. This application offers features similar to other applications for places , routing, and so on. Navigational features and routes print is still unavailable so that navigation can now be used only for walking.

Enter text and voice inputIn HTC HTC Rhyme a standard QWERTY keyboard on the screen. Again I will say that this is one of the best implementation of on-screen keyboard of all the devices based on Android operating system, and other operating systems. The only problem that exists with this keyboard is that it is sometimes necessary to move and too much time to enter some symbols that are specific to certain letters and character sets.

Each keystroke on the screen follows the small vibration that facilitates users to feel what the press. Switching between languages can be done using separate keys pressure. This is a very simple and the same button is also responsible for entering your voice messages.
When it comes to on-screen keyboard I have to mention that it can be hidden by pressing and holding Menu button and dedicated. Under the keys with the letters a sliding panel that moves the cursor through the text if you make a mistake. This is much easier to work when the text is enlarged as an option that was first introduced just for this phone. The idea is obviously borrowed from the Apple iPhone, but this fact does not make it less valuable. When you keep your finger on the text of a few seconds activate the pop up window with enlarged fragment of text and cursor. You can easily move the cursor along the fragment. When your finger leaves the screen you will see additional menu to select the text or fragment. Another option is that the text does not change suddenly.
A disadvantage is the lack of updated keyboard settings for shortcut keys. To enter the settings you must disable the keyboard general settings, find the "Language and keypad" and only then you can change the shortcuts. Regardless of the full QWERTY keyboard you can use the compact version of the keyboard. See her photos below.

The keyboard has a personal dictionary in which you can store the new words you use frequently. With the Desire HD, you can edit the dictionary, which is not new and can synchronize with the backup on the memory card.
Given the increasing popularity of Siri service I want to stress that Rhyme HTC and other devices based on Android have the option of voice search and voice calling.You can then dictate the message, smart phone and then send them.

SoftwareThe smartphone runs on Android 2.3 operating system while the user interface uses the HTC Sense 3.5. The external interface of the device looks somewhat unusual, and there are only two buttons at the bottom instead of three in the standard representation in which Sense has a special widget for the side icons. This widget is not very convenient to use, where it should be noted that occupies the entire screen.

A small change in appearance compared with Sense 3.0, which is one of the options changed the lock screen. Other functions have not changed the lock screen.

The new version of Sense in almost all programs that are designed for the HTC interface (e-mail client, calendar, contacts, etc.) makes the system easy to work with tabs. Now the tabs within the program can be replaced or removed from the screen, and add a retaining finger tab for a few seconds or by calling the menu option "Edit Tabs."

As for the all-new version of HTC Sense will try to handle it in a separate article.
AccessoriesSpeaking and accessories, in Rhyme HTC it occupies an important place. All accessories of which had previously been discussed, it comes with the handset, and is included in the price.
Unfortunately, the camera that I tested did not have the accessories and will be shown only to the official photography equipment and I will mention that the only available keys to control music and calls.

Leather case. Ordinary case of skin that I do not look particularly beautiful and elegant. Smart phone is placed into it quite difficult to remove from it even more difficult. However, due to daily use it will spread and will definitely be easier to operate.

Then come to light torches or as HTC calls this piece of equipment Charm. It is a cube that is connected to the conductor at the other end has a 3.5mm jack and the flashing lights, or during a call or a message. During the call, she blinks until you hang up. When you receive a new text message flashing dice about five minutes and then turns off.

An interesting accessory that can be fixed, for example on the bag so that the flashing so clear you can see as you have a missed event on the phone when you say the phone is packed in a bag. Charm For there are no settings, so you can not select the frequency and type of flicker, although the most significant was that it can select colors. I think that in the future this part of the additional equipment will be of interest to users and will make it more functional HTC.

Then we come to a special docking station for charging. It is a relatively small white stand for the phone which allows the inner form of the terrific phone. Depending on the angle under which the device is available to set the three speakers and three contacts that connect to the back of the device and allow charging devices.

The lack of these accessories is to remove the smart phone out of her view that the way the phone sets makes its taking a little tricky. The good thing about this option is that when the device is placed on this docking station gets an extra sound in mind these three speakers, and you will rarely happen to miss a call. The negative thing is that when using a docking station is not possible that you are choosing a ring tone.

ConclusionDuring the two weeks we spent with this device I had no problems with the quality of sound, the handset was not bad, and the ringtone volume was slightly above average. Vibration was average in terms of volume, but when you're walking and when the unit is in your pocket you will not usually be able to feel the vibration.
This model appeared in stores several weeks ago. Its price as the price of the main models of HTC and Samsung Sensation such as the Galaxy II. Original Apple iPhone 4 with 16GB of memory is slightly more expensive than this model.

However, when it comes to the price of this model must be said that every part of the additional equipment that is available with this model will cost, so we come to the conclusion that the device is not so expensive. By comparison, if the calculated price of the HTC models Rhyme it would be only slightly higher than the price of HTC Desire S, which was significantly decreased compared to the start time of its availability.
In the end it turns out that the HTC Rhyme phone for anyone who wants a complete set of accessories. Personally, it seems that the LED flashlight and Charm to be beneficial only girls, while the docking station for a truly excellent and useful part of the additional equipment. As for the positioning of this model in my opinion black version of this model is universal and does not look like a solution that is designed for girls and women agree. As is usually the case with smartphones HTC model is overrated, but unlike some other models we now have a good range of accessories which makes this model a complete device.

Sony Ericsson Live

2011-12-13T04:43:00.000-08:00

The long-awaited Walkman phone is available for sale - to be precise, Live With Walkman Swedish-Japanese company Sony Ericsson. The new model has a processor running at 1GHz, 512MB RAM and a 5MP camera with the option of recording HD video. In addition, the model WT19i feature two very loud stereo speakers and a separate button to start the player. The device is designed to appeal to those who prefer to communicate within the social networks, not just music fans.

The design, size and operating elementsThis smartphone is very similar to the SE Walkman model mix - both devices feature the same style, even the control buttons are located near each other. Live now, however, characterized by mild-slope case. It is made using several types of plastic: upper and lower sections are made of glossy plastic, while the only part about 3.5mm connector made of soft touch plastic. The screen is protected by a special plastic that can not be easily scratched with sharp objects. The area around the button "Home" and the audio connector is surrounded by green. One gets the impression that it is below that provided LED lighting. "Walkman" logo is also lined with green.
The device is available in two colors: black and white. I personally prefer the white version because fingerprints are not as visible in the case, and I look is appealing.Otherwise, the variations in the white center key and connector are edged with red.

Device due to its shape fits the hand, and through the use of soft plastic will not slip from their hands. Headset is very convenient because the connector on the top.
Despite the large number of negative comments related to the production apparatus, the test is live now recorded excellent results: no creaks or the appearance of any displacement during pressing. There is a possibility that the first volume apparatus was not very successful.

At the front of the case there is a large number of sensors including a proximity sensor. The device works perfectly and quickly respond. Volume is quite high and there is no crackling, and the caller's voice loud and clear. In the vicinity there is a light indicator that points to an empty battery (indicator lights in red) or missed events (white indicator lights). Below the screen there is a semicircular key "Home", which is characterized by a shallow step. On the bottom there is a microphone and holes for camera straps, and the top of the - button to manually start the player, standard 3.5mm connector and on / off button that is used to lock the screen.

The left-hand side is the miniUSB socket that has a lid, while the left button is for volume control. Somewhat lower is key for manual activation of the camera. The presence of this key is of great importance because it is much easier to hit him, but the button on the screen.
Two stereo speakers, and a small camera and LED flash are located on the back of the device.
To remove the back of the device you need to pull it through the slot on the right. SIM card slot is located on the bottom of the screen and memory card from the top.

Generally, I can say that Sony Ericsson LWW features excellent ergonomic design.ScreenScreen resolution model is the minimum standard LWW for Android smart phones - 320x480 pixels. The screen is created using the TFT-LCD technology and can display 16 million colors. Contrary screen model Mini and Mini Pro this screen has a special protective layer and the corresponding image-processing engine Bravia Mobile Engine. It is a capacitive screen, which supports four simultaneous contact with a high level of sensitivity.
Viewing angles are not particularly large, but the image does not rotate screen much to blame, but a reduction in contrast. Color reproduction is intense as the Xperia mini models. screen brightness control sensor and manually adjustable to a maximum value. The screen fades in the sun, but the information remains readable.

Also, within the model Walkman Live With a built-in accelerometer (BMA250), compass (AK8975), proximity sensor, (APDS9702), linear acceleration sensor and G sensor.BatteryThe device features Li-Pol battery capacity of 1200mAh label EP-500 (which exists in models Mini Xperia, Xperia Mini Pro, X8, and other devices). The manufacturer claims that this battery provides up to 6.5 hours of talk time and 350 hours of standby. Time of music is 17 hours.

During testing the following results were obtained: standby smart phone lasted almost a week, or 15 hours of music playback with the most energetic tone (using headphones) and up to 3 hours HD video playback with automatic backlight.
On average 15 - 20 minutes of calls a day, an hour taking pictures and video, music playback or four hours of using Wi-Fi (Twitter and Skype) and two hours of movie watching discharged battery in approximately 8-9 hours. If we compare this with the results achieved with the Xperia Mini and Mini Pro, the result is 15-20% less power.Maximum load battery long conversations does not significantly affect energy consumption. moderate use can extend the battery life an additional 3-5 hours.

Over the USB port on your computer to fully charge the batteries needed 3 hours, with one half hour charger.
CommunicationSmart phone supports 2G (GSM 850/900/1800/1900) and 3G (HSDPA 900/2100).Speeds are up to 86 Kbps GPRS, EDGE up to 237Kbps, HSDPA 7.2 Mbps and HSUPPa and 5.76Mbps, respectively.

For most applications, this is a sufficient amount of memory.The device has 320MB of internal memory available to user, with 280 MB free memory. The sales package contains a 2GB card. Cards can be hot-swappable.The phone supports cards up to 32GB.

CameraThe camera module is not very different from that found in the Xperia Mini and Mini Pro. The device has a 5MP camera with autofocus and LED flash. Maximum resolution is 2592 x 1944 pixels, video clips are recorded in 1280 x 720 pixel resolution at 30 fps. There's also a VGA camera on the front for video calls.
Picture quality is average and comparable to those that can get the Samsung RDF model: they are characterized by low dynamic range and detail, too much digital noise in low light. However, determining the appropriate level of white balance is achieved a better result. The quality of video is good. When recording video can use 8x zoom. It is available as autofocus, a sound is recorded in mono.
To activate the camera you have to click a button on the side of the device. This key has two positions:focusing (click to age) and recording (click to end).

When I wrote to test smart phone with HTC Incredible, really I did not find any negative aspect of this device. Sony Ericsson LWW is another such device. In this model I was impressed by all the ergonomic design, through excellent finishing and launching the camera manually to a very loud speaker and an excellent processor.

Competitors LWW SE model are not very numerous, even to say that there is no direct competition. For example, Samsung GIO has 2 speakers and a 5MP camera.Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini has a screen diagonal length of 3 ", a speaker and not so good music capabilities. Huawei offers a larger diagonal and resolution, but inferior music player, no camera on the front or stereo speakers, with a slightly older chipset MSM7230 (CPU clock speed is 800MHz). Here we continue the enumeration, but none of the models can not be brought into direct competition.

Samsung Wave Y S5380

2011-12-05T14:29:00.000-08:00

In late August by Samsung in some markets, the announcements of three phones that are based on the Bada 2.0 platform, Wave 3, Wave Wave M and Y. At that time the company had seven other models based on said operating system, two of which arevery popular, Wave I and Wave II. For this reason, Samsung is believed that three new models can successfully carry on the market. The appearance of this machine is practically indistinguishable from the previous monoblock models such as Gio, Ace, Galaxy Mini and the like.

PositioningIn late August by Samsung in some markets, the announcements of three phones that are based on the Bada 2.0 platform: Wave 3, Wave Wave M and Y. At that time the company had seven other models based on said operating system, two of which are very popular - Wave I and Wave II. For this reason, Samsung is believed that three new models can successfully carry on the market.
Design, size controlThe appearance of this machine is practically indistinguishable from the previous monoblock models such as Gio, Ace, Galaxy Mini and the like which are characterized by a combination of black and silver casing. The only significant difference is the fact that the back cover that is made of glossy plastic coated metal.The design is extremely interesting, but it seems like the phone slipping out of hand.
The dimensions of Wave Y are standard for most Samsung smartphone: 110 x 58.2mm, thickness of the phone is 12.3mm, and weighs 100 grams. Build quality is excellent due to the fact that there are 12 tabs on the back and that there are no gaps. In case fingerprints are not as noticeable, which is not true for the screen.

The front panel houses the speaker. The volume is slightly higher than average but the sound quality is very good. Proximity sensor for fast and accurate. Below the screen there is a pressure and a short call home screen, while two short pressure driven voice control. Immediately to the right there is the "Back" button touch, while the left is "Send a Call." The backlighting is a soft, white. Honestly, I never did not like touch-sensitive buttons, especially if it is a special call and end the conversation.It often happens that does not work properly. With mechanical buttons has no such problems.

On the left is the key to control the volume. Is slightly above the holes for phone straps. On the right is the on / off button. The top end is a standard 3.5mm headphone jack while the bottom are the microUSB slot and mikrofon.Sa back of the device is a camera lens and speaker.

ScreenDiagonal screen size of the Samsung S5230 Wave length is 3.2''(physical dimensions are 68 x 46mm). Resolution 320 x 480 pixels. The display features a TFT-LCD matrix, shows up to 16 million colors. The display features capacitive technology, multitouch is supported. Maximum number of supported concurrent pressures is not known and it is difficult verifying something with this device as opposed to Bada Android application does not have to do that.
Viewing angles are excellent while at a certain angle, but if you rotate the phone gently colors begin to change. Also, changing the angles are looking at changing display the contrast and brightness. However, generally at an angle, the screen is excellent.
The brightness is at a high level is adjusted manually since the device does not have an ambient light sensor. The picture looks great indoors, but outdoor visibility drastically fall.

The phone has an accelerometer for auto screen rotation.

In the display settings you can adjust the automatic rotation, backlight time, font size (small, medium and large), the font, background image and theme. With the Samsung Wave M there is an option that shows the percentage of battery charge.

BatteryThe device uses Li-Ion 1200 mAh battery EB454357VU marks. The manufacturer claims that this battery can provide 570 hours of standby, while talk time is 7 hours.

If you use the phone about nine hours, the battery will fully discharge by 20 - 30 minutes of calls a day, three hours using Wi-Fi internet (Twitter, e-mail, download and install applications) for about three hours using the mobile internet and a few hours listen to music. Longer work can be provided by using a smaller phone.
The USB charging takes about 3 hours until the power grid through takes about 1.5 hours.
CommunicationThe phone uses a GSM network (850/900/1800/1900) and 3G (900/2100). Data rates for HSDPA up to 7.2 Mbps and EDGE (Class 32). The device supports wireless 802.11 b / g / n standard. The device can be used as an access point (WiFi hotspot) and supports WiFi Direct (standard, two enabling WiFi appliance to communicate with each other without a router). In the presence of bluetooth with A2DP version 2.1, it is possible to transfer files and speech.

Memory and Memory CardThe manufacturer has for some reason decided to hide the amount of RAM.However, Wave Y is a smart phone that features support for multitasking, while the user adjusts how many applications can be started to slow down the phone. In Moscow, I successfully launched more than ten programs simultaneously, and the device worked perfectly.

The device has 208MB RAM, with 150MB user available. If the user wants, all applications can be transferred to the microSD. 2GB of available memory card. The user has the option to delete the contents of memory and memory cards.
CameraThe device has a 2MP camera with no autofocus and flash. Max photo resolution is 1600x1200 pixels, while the maximum resolution of 320x240 pixel video with 15 frames per second.
Picture quality is remarkable, but from a distance of 10 to 20cm is possible to capture text and easy to read. In general, we should say that this camera is outdated in 2011. year.

Not available separate button to activate the camera, so it is necessary to start from the menu.
The interface for recording images: the left is the shooting mode (single shot, smile detection, panorama, night photography), brightness control (7 options) resolutions (1600x1200, 1280x960, 640x480). The right side is a gallery, with photos to transfer video.

ApplicationsAs I explained to employees in the Samsung, applications written for version 1.x Bada, can not be applied to version 2.x.. From my point of view, the situation is unpleasant.

If you turn the phone on the side, the player switches to CoverFlow mode (selectable display album art, like the Apple iPhone).
The average volume supplied by the handset is not enough for listening in noisy environments such as the subway example. Also, the phone does not offer enough power for a user to use the big cans of high resistance (30 ohms or more) since they sound very quiet (mostly hears 80-120Hz).
The speaker volume is low, similar to the pure sound with no distortion.
FM-radio
It ranges from 87.5 to 108.7MHz. It supports RDS. Above the radio interface is a series of keys: option to show all the stations, search, the option of listening through the speakers and settings. Below is shown a large scale with frequency, as the shutter button and volume. Below the control buttons are located and six slots for storing frequencies.

The volume is approximately the same as the player. Quality is good, sensitivity is high.
Video player
After the application screen shows a list of supported video files. This model of the supported formats can play only one more than 640x480 resolution.

During playback, it allows for forward and backward in a file, pause, sending messages, including 5.1 surround sound, and more file information.
ConclusionThe quality of communication at different levels, but generally was not a problem.The vibration is of moderate strength, and you can feel it if the device is in the pocket of pants or shirts.
When it comes to the Samsung Wave Y have three main complaints: poor camera with no autofocus, not very good quality screen with not-so-brilliant color reproduction, and not the best measure supported software. Here I might ask the question whether the device failed to impress me because of yourself, or simply due to bad software.

This model is available from the current month. If we talk about competitors to this model when it comes to Android smart phones, there are plenty of them, especially the extent to which it belongs to price this device.
Also, the extent to price as the Samsung Wave Y is the Galaxy Fit. This model has a lower resolution but the screen diagonal of 3.3 ". It has a 5MP camera with autofocus, 1350mAh battery and interesting design.
Another competitor is the LG Optimus Link. With the price at which the sale of this model has excellent features: 3.2 "320x480 pixel screen resolution, while the camera is 3MP with autofocus and the ability to record video resolution of 640x480 pixels.
I would, however, opted for free.

Blackberry Touch 9900

2011-12-01T10:25:00.000-08:00

Blackberry phones are equally popular in all markets as is the case in the territory of Europe or the United States, but a large number of users who will choose theBlackberry device because of its unique design. In the world of Blackberry devices model 9900 signs located at the very top of the range. Bold from the first model, which had one of the best features of mobile devices, no Blackberry has failed to undermine the glory of this model in terms of the keyboard, except for BB 9900model.

In my opinion, this is one of the best devices in this year, but it should be noted that against the list can easily override list. Say that you love metal, carbon and attractive design? Want to talk with ease, you heard the calls and to enjoy the powerful speakers? Would you like to have the best QWERTY mobile device in this form?You like?
All this sounds good and interesting. Operating system is what scares since for a large number of items not provided logical support. AVI is of little use when watching a video without conversion, while the camera auto focus is not provided, it does not make any sense.

Design and constructionBlackberry phones are equally popular in all markets as is the case in the territory of Europe or the United States, but a large number of users who will choose the Blackberry device because of its unique design. No wonder that the situation is because people are tired of HTC and Samsung devices because they are very similar, while the Nokia devices look great but have a number of shortcomings related to the design. Sony Ericsson models are very good, but the metal in these devices are not used for production, except for few exceptions. In the world of Blackberry devices model 9900 signs located at the very top of the range. You can select the BB 9700 or 9780 and enjoy their simple form, and you can opt for a small and sweet BB 9100th Then you can try and BB 9900th So far I have not met anyone who had remained indifferent in terms of this model. The casing is made of metal, plastic and carbon fiber and it is really fascinating - there are many things in one place. Metal inserts and velvety to the back of the plastic, glossy inserts around the camera and flash as well as the black area around the screen and are a perfect combination. Almost perfect combination, since the panel that contains functional keys started to wear off after two weeks of active use. Metal grille speakers, easy communication, ease of use of the keyboard, clear screen and other details are only complementary picture of this device, which is really rare. So far, my hand went through a lot of equipment but none impressed me like this or not, he caused that constantly wish to use this device.

And the rest is perfectly wise, no company has nothing to do in terms of design, materials or devices. The style is recognizable in every detail, so it was and when it comes to a machine that was tested. The smartphone is easy to hold in one hand and writing messages, easy to hold with one hand and chatting. Dimensions are 115 x 66 x 10.5mm and weighs 130 grams. The device is wide and thin.

On the left there is a microUSB slot and a mini-jack. Proximity sensor works well, so while you can hardly talk to cheek pressing any key on the touch screen.
You should also pay attention to lighting, and on the front panel indicator light is located. Many companies oppose the use of LED indicators, while in this model LED indicators show the missed call or message. My opinion is that this is very important.

ScreenOn the one hand there is nothing spectacular in the screen, it's a 2.8 "screen with resolution 640 x 480 pixels (TFT LCD). On the other hand, the screen is bright enough and clear at all times, the picture looks great and the video. The sensor reacts to normal pressure using capacitive technology.

ManagementDespite the presence of the touch screen, RIM apparently has not forgotten the old habits of the owner of Bold models. The top of the device is the key to the device is placed in standby mode, the button is narrow and easy to find. Below the screen there is an optical joystick, the most controversial element, and although there is sensitivity adjustable, it is still hard to get used to it. There are also traditional special call and end the conversation. Besides the joystick are key for me and the Back button. On the right is the key for volume control and mute button separate that is of great help. When using the player he was responsible for starting and stopping playback. Below is a soft key, which by default can be used to run the camera. When using a BB 9900 from time to time it is possible to forget that there is a touch screen, and it is possible to use other controls. With normal keys is always good - especially in an era of devices with touch screen where you no longer have to search for a key or be unable to answer. Here you can find the button on the bottom and immediately start a conversation, which is really handy in the car.

KeyboardBold from the first model, which had one of the best features of mobile devices, no Blackberry has failed to undermine the glory of this model in this regard. BB 9900 is.Maybe it's just a subjective opinion but this is certainly the best QWERTY solution of this type that I saw in my life. First, the frame size is adequate and the device is comfortable to use. Secondly, the position of your finger and pressing are very good and simple, deserve praise. Third, the shape of the keys is perfect as it is possible to type in certain types of words without moving a finger to press an adjacent key, which is very convenient. Altogether there are 35 keys, and using the keyboard is great for an e-mail, writing text messages, chatting, typing Web addresses, and so on. Almost all the buttons have a double function.

NFCWhat should be noted is that at this time BB 9900 one of the few devices that support NFC, which allows connection to additional equipment in the easiest possible way - will be enough to enable the device, then follow the link. Nokia N9 is one of the devices also offer NFC.

BatteryThe manufacturer claims the battery can provide up to six hours of talk time, fifty hours of music playback or about 7.5 hours of video playback. Unfortunately, when testing the battery lasted only one and a half day in active use. Compared to the BB 9780, this model is inferior, and I hope that the new firmware help to improve this situation. The battery can be recharged through a USB cable and charger over. The device uses 1230mAh battery.

Multimedia FormatsThis model is characterized by a large number of supported video formats - MP4, M4A, 3 gp, m4v, avi, asf, wmv, audio - WMA, MP3, Flac, Ogg, aac, amr, wav, mid.This is really not bad. In FLAC format is no problem to take the phone memory some of the content. Once I had a problem with late reproduction, and the problem is reflected in the gentle sound of chopping during playback. The music player is known, it is possible to adjust the equalizers and high volume, which features the latest BB. Here you can assign functions to control playback button for volume control.

The strange thing, when I tried to watch "Supernatural" I got an idea. Maybe some third party programs prevent the use of memory. What surprised me was when you closed the browser, Facebook began to open again. Another interesting thing is that when you run the video program, active is another program called "Now Playing".What is this word? You can not close the application when the application in the background but you must enter the program and select the desired item.

BrowserI would like to say something and the browser. Generally, the browser is Blackverrys-jown and certainly not among the best. In the BB07 and BB900 this specific search engine does not work badly, loads pages quickly, correctly scaled them, no crashes or freeze mode. As with all RIM devices is available in a high degree of adjustment, supports tabs, although it seems strange when the top of the screen you can see thumbnails of open tabs. The browser offers significant additions and options so you can easily send an email, add an element of it on the main page. You can also enter in your browsing history, that you open the browser main screen thumbnails or a list of recently opened pages. In the options you can see the chosen home page, as well as shortcuts to access various functions of the browser, select content that is loaded, disable Java, pictures, block pop-up messages. You can also adjust the font size, encoding, fast cleaning facilities if necessary, all passwords, cookies, history, cache, and a list of downloads. The result is actually quite normal, modern and flexible tool for network use, which still does not work great when you connect via 3G, WiFi, EDGE as there is a significant slowdown.
CameraThe device has a 5MP camera with no autofocus. It is very strange and suspicious that this is one camera in 2011. year should be built into the device for which the company set aside to be the main device. With good lighting, you can create more or less good pictures, but this camera is not for actual use in various environments.While on the phone screen images and can look fairly decent, transfer them to your computer you can see how bad things are. The device supports video recording at 720p resolution. Autofocus is slow and the results are such as to create a real depression. Plus, I noticed that the microphone produces a noise. Flash in automatic mode when taking pictures whiten too often most of the details, so it is better to turn it off. Available feature, Face Detection, image stabilizer (of course, not optical), geotagging, as well as four-fold zoom. I will repeat once more that the camera this model, however everything else, just not good.

Multifunction button on the right by default the camera starts by pressing buttons on the screen or the optical joystick.
Panel, the performance of the OSThe video clip can be a little closer to familiar with the operating system. I wanted to make a detailed overview of the operating system, but frankly I have more doubts that such a thing is necessary. The fact that RIM has been termed the OS7 operating system, says that this is a new version. Compared with OS 6 does not have any significant changes, primarily added support for NFC, improved the graphics (Open GL ES standard 2.0 support), video recording in HD mode. Focusing is possible only for photos. In the new version of the operating system is available, and including compass. To me, it would be logical that the manufacturer of the operating system called OS 6.1 or 6.2, as does Apple. When everything is added up and subtracted this version does not bring fundamental changes, the situation has not changed with the panels. In the desktop system unit line up with the available shortcuts to programs that can move you want. In theory it is possible to remove all items from a panel and make it their own. Despite the fact that this OS does not offer widgets on a relatively good-looking much like it looked in the past, Symbian. Available is an advanced profile settings, set data access, but the widgets themselves do not exist.You can count up to the line for the notification of an event on the main screen.
The phone uses a powerful processor running at 1.2GHz. All crossings between menus, applications work very well. From hibernation, the device wakes up very quickly, within a split second, but sometimes you may experience unexpected freezing operation. This is most obvious when working with maps.
The phone supports microSD cards up 32GB, with the device has a built-in memory.Is available to 5.4GB of free space. Upgrade wireless works well, although it is better to use WiFi and accordingly buy the device unlocked.
In addition to NFC, smart phone has Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR, WiFi (802.11 b, g, n), although the vast majority of operators to deliver this unit with a locked wifi. GPS is available, so I recommend you use a service like Google Maps.

AvailabilityWhat is interesting when it comes to Blackberry devices, and therefore the model BB9900 is that this model can rarely be found by the operator for the simple reason that operators are simply wasting money when you sell equipment like this.Therefore, it is much more likely that customers would this device be able to buy in specialist shops with his mobile phone unlocked version that allows the use of WiFi networks.

Model, BB 9900 - one of my favorite models this year has several strong selling points:
Beautiful design and build quality (except for details). Pleasant to hold the device in your hand and nobody will remain indifferent. Is it reasonable to design the device to give money to companies looking for this device is another matter. It has its own charm and causes emotions, but whether this is what you need to judge for yourself.The device has a QWERTY keyboard, a beautiful and there is nothing to add. If you like devices with QWERTY keyboard, this will definitely appeal to you.Loud speakers, great sound quality, very good for listening to music, especially when it comes to good headphones.If you have multiple mailboxes then you definitely need to use BIS. The device has integrated Facebook and Twitter client and the application for the Blackberry. / Li>A good calendar, search engine where you can literally customize everything from profiles to the size of letters.A good displayLess:
Poor organization of the panel. I am sure that the manufacturer has incorporated everything that could be done on a desktop screen, which would certainly cause less confusion.Short battery life - one day. This is certainly much worse than the implementation of BB9780 in which the battery is provided two to three days of work. In this model, unfortunately, you will constantly have to think about charging the battery. The problem is probably in the optimization.Camera without autofocus, with here is nothing more to add.Anyone who is familiar with the system will be difficult to manage, as well as for those who know what it is will sometimes be an effort to cope with the operating system to the end.Support is available for AVI files, but such is the case with Blackberry Playbook device it is limited to paper. In reality, strange sounds are played back, and the picture freezes.Certain information may be removed from the line on the desktop, some programs are open again after closing via buttons on the device. You must enter a menu to close the program he knows to be tedious.Can you recommend to buy this product? Yes, because as I looked around I saw at least five people who use the device in most cases as a secondary phone. A friend of mine is very well described by the phone / smart phone: It is very beautiful, but very boring. As if in some way RIM is trying to get rid of the background of corporate device, but he did not go. On the other hand, imperfect versions of the course to scare those who are not familiar with BB devices, and the Council for them to maybe go with the BB9100 or BB9700, before you decide to BB9900, which is again beautiful in appearance, but many strange.

Nokia N9

2011-11-27T07:51:00.000-08:00

The device is Nokia's leading position as an interim smart phone that looks fantastic, especially in the words of CEO Stephen Elop's, who said that despite the successful sale of the first and last Meego smartphones, the company wants to focus onoperational system from Microsoft. It is quite amazing that Nokia abandoned the field that is potentially able to provide one of the most modern, most powerful and excitingoperating system.

PositioningThe device is Nokia's leading position as an interim smart phone that looks fantastic, especially in the words of CEO Stephen Elop's, who said that despite the successful sale of the last ii Meego first smartphone company wants to focus on operating system from Microsoft. The official announcement of this smart phone announced on 21 of June 2011. in Singapore, with a promise to phone sales to begin in late August. The company could not keep his promise since the device came sixth in sales of October.

Nokia in 2004. began with the development of the operating system for smart phones, and it seemed like a field experiment on the phone with a touchscreen. With the introduction of Apple iPhone 2007th year, the company been given more attention to the development of Maemo (operating system then had the name) when it was decided that just this operating system will be the right answer to a product from Apple. Existing products, however, the Nokia N800 and Nokia N900 were not able to be competitive not only in Apple, but their smart phones with the Symbian operating system. As a result of that decision, the company started to invest in Maemo / MeeGo. The total amount of investments in 2010. was larger than 300 million euros. In the past few years - more than a billion euros. With the arrival of Stephen Elop's a company no longer had plans for the active development of this area, and decreased the amount of attention that was given to it.
It is absolutely incredible story that Nokia abandoned the field that is, possibly, could provide one of the most modern, most powerful and exciting operating system. By the time of presentation of Nokia N9 models were already overcome all the "children's diseases" and this operating system had a lot of potential to win over large numbers of users. Moreover, for Nokia it is cheaper to support the model, rather than to face the fact that the Nokia N9 and before appearing on the market is doomed. Who in this world who bought the product will be further refined, as president of constantly repeated? No one.
Instead, Nokia's leaders opted for a different operating system. On the other hand, the company has invested significant resources in advertising appliance Nokia N9, as it is a true flagship. This is the only lead to new confusion. Delay of entry of this model on the market has led to people advertising campaign designed for this camera a month earlier understood as a call to rush to the stores in which this device is simply not there. This delay was of crucial importance.
Nokia is not the company itself could decide its stance when it comes to the Nokia N9. On the one hand, this device is in the future could rise to the entire line, but because of access to Nokia, it will not happen. On the other hand, the company is trying to sell the device is promising support for Meego in 2016. year. This is a device that is sold on the basis of a three-year contract, Nokia has provided funding for the development of ecosystems for Meego. A former partner in the project, Intel, tightened the relationship between the two companies. The end result was unexpected, since Meego did not receive any support. When it comes to Nokia, this decision was decisive. It's a shame. The potential of this device and the operating system was a great, in theory for about 5 - 6 years Meego could become one of the most popular and powerful operating system. Nokia has done most of the work and were ready to reap the fruits of your labor, however, the team decided to discontinue discontinue Meego OS development. And that is what is the worst in this whole story.
As the Nokia N9 positioned? Nokia has unveiled the device as a leading model, while the other quantity of devices that are sold in many countries, was minimal. The scope of available models has been limited. She reiterated the situation with the Nokia N900 as a model that is sold in quantities of 100,000 units worldwide, which was an absolute debacle. It seems as if Nokia decided to repeat the fate of a new model of the previous or they just wanted to make room for Nokia Lumia 800 (temporary flagship for WP7, which features the same chassis design as well as N9).

Compare photos of these two devices, you will not find any difference other than the operating system and some minor differences. The fate of Nokia N9 is sacrificed in order to increase the sales of Nokia 800 Lumia. That was another mistake by Nokia. The rejection of their own, the future operating system in favor of the operating system that has failed to prove its value was very bad move, viewed from any angle. It was clear that Nokia N9 is an ideal device with which it is necessary to change a few little things. This is not ideal or best smart phone device on the market - a question that you brought some novelties, whether it is distinguished by elegance and great potential will never be resolved.
For the average user this means only one thing - the device will never be used for many things such as this is the case with the iPhone OS, Android, WP7 operating system. The same thing happened with the Nokia N900 device. Unfortunately, this model has no future, was appealing to only one user group - enthusiasts. Those same people who like to buy Nokia N900 model and knew right away that you want the command line to change in their phone. When it comes to mass market, this situation was not clear because the device did not provide any additional features.For example, the lack of Twitter client for publishing photos and lack of alternative clients. This phone has brought many innovations, on the contrary, the user experience was poor, but when it comes to modern Symbian phones but at the level of WP7.
The end result is that we have an interesting phone for collectors, those who like exotic deals, but not the product for the mass market. Despite the advertising campaign, ordinary users have understood this and are not buying it. I am sorry this unit and the whole situation regarding MeeGo that could become a very important phone on the market, but not under these conditions.
For developers Nokia N950 Nokia unveiled the model, a complete copy of the N9 but with a QWERTY keyboard.

The design, size, controlsOne can not say that the Nokia N9 design was original in the market, which is quite unusual for Nokia. To a range in terms of the modified design of Apple iPod devices since the apparent similarity of the two devices.

The casing is made of polycarbonate plastics. The housing is integrated as to ensure that no creaks or the appearance of moving parts. To think that a set of polycarbonate material that is comparable to the glass like on the iPhone 4/4s, metal like many other models, it is simply impossible. This is a common plastic used for low-cost models, such as Ash line of Nokia.

Protective glass with a small curve of the edge is unusual, but welcome. Case, which comes with the device, it is also a plus. In my opinion the case is unnecessary. Quality izrađe housing is good, and scratches are almost out of view.The blows to the body of polycarbonate leaves bad effects since it may break.

Some users who have downloaded the protection of the screen saying that there is clearance between the screen and casing. It's not a massive problem and is probably associated only with poor development process, and chances are that the device is released. The service center this deficiency is corrected within a few minutes.
The desire to create an integrated appliance has reached the limits specified for this device. For example, Gorni side features a 3.5 mm jack is also available microUSB port. You need to pritisnet zipper and it opens. Plastic fastener is made as a hinged door. This move is pretty bad because when the phone is powered by an external charger, you risk losing the cover. If the phone to charge and place it on the bed next to you, you will lose the cover. For example, my friend is the first day I accidentally pulled the cover.

When removing the cover you can pull out the card micros. There are no disadvantages of using this type of card, just do not see each other often on the market. The battery is installed, which makes this model similar to Nokia N8 model, but with one big difference. If a replacement battery for the Nokia N8 model takes a little effort, since it is enough oodviti few screws using a suitable screwdriver, otherwise you need to know how to disassemble the entire phone.

On the right is the key for volume control and an on / off button. Unfortunately, the use of polycarbonate housing brings with it certain problems, the sound is pretty quiet.Ringing bells at the maximum setting is not enough to hear the phone when in a pocket or jacket. You can hear it but that's almost half the usual volume Nokia devices - for example, the sound is worse than the Nokia 6700 Classic, Nokia 5800, Nokia X6, etc..

Weight is 135 grams and its dimensions are 116.45 x 61.2 x 7.6 - 12.1mm. The device provides a sense of bulky camera in hand, but it fits in the hand and in pocket.

On the back of the device is 8MP camera and LED flash.

The device is available in four colors - white (which will be presented later), black, blue and purple. Officially, so far the company has introduced two colors - green and orange and has not yet released information about when the new colors appear on the market.

ScreenThe display features AMOLED technology devices and reflective surfaces. In the sun information remains readable on the screen, which is very good. The resolution is 854 x 480 at 3.9''diagonal. The picture quality, brightness, color and everything else is at the current market and leading, last year's models. There is nothing surprising - the screen is pretty good, but nothing incredible.

The display features Gorilla Glass protective layer that are more than a year ago perfected the other manufacturers. The shape of the screen area is also something that had already presented by other manufacturers.
Major drawback is the diagonal screen and a rather small font size, leading to difficulty in reading information from the screen. This is evident in the browser since the visibility of information worse than that of the iPhone 4/4x, Galaxy S/S2.

All this negative effect on viewing web pages, and when it comes to use other functions on it has almost no effect.
It is a capacitive screen and pressing is very pleasant, or at the iPhone Galasy S2, which is another step closer compared to Symbian products. Available is an automatic screen rotation, depending on the position of the device. The problem is that it comes one-way rotation, on the other hand one should bear in mind the fact that a large number of applications and the menu does not support rotation. Why this is so, it is not known but in the opposite direction does not work in many cases, not even in the standard menu. This has a negative impact on the standard functionality and what you want on your device.
Nokia says the phone has a built-in light sensor that automatically adjusts the backlight level to the ambient conditions. Unfortunately, this is not true because you can not see this konfigraciju but is available only way manual adjustments. The physical presence of the sensor is self-evident, but will later enable the automatic light change. This discrepancy between the official description of the apparatus and the actual situation is really bad.
BatteryThe device uses a lithium ion battery capacity of 1450m, the battery is not removable. According to the manufacturer, the battery can provide up to 380 hours of standby and up to 11 hours talk time. In Moscow the device worked for about two days with 40 minutes of calls a day and up to one hour of using other functions. In order to fully charge the battery should be 2.5 hours. In the menu you can see all information about the battery condition.

There is also a mode of energy conservation, can be automatically activated when the battery charge reaches a certain percentage of the charge. This is very convenient, although not exactly clear what the device off (reduced level of brightness or something).

This device and platform MeeGo show a big plus when working. The device can provide two days of work, a performance comparable to Android and iPhone-with the results, the strength of this device.

Unfortunately, some programs will lead to high energy consumption, especially when it comes to work in the background. What is it about, what are the programs in question, it is not known, but in this way the phone can be quickly emptied.
Some users have reported that the indicator light does not work while charging the battery when charging is not flashing, and then does not light up constantly. It is not known with what the problem is connected, the company has no explanation for this problem and sometimes it happens that disappears by itself. Attach great importance to this, however, serves no purpose.
MemoryThe device is available in two versions, with 16 or 64GB of internal memory.Memory cards are not part of any offer options.
In the version with 64GB meorje application is allocated 4.2GB, 2.1GB for applications and related data, while the user is left to the use of 57.7GB.

The device has 1GB of RAM. When comparing the different operating systems is not possible to determine the amount of RAM, not taking into account the intensity of the operating system resources. That would be an artificial comparison that would not bring any practical results.
Nokia N9 states that the most advanced version in terms of a multi-tasking, which is not impossible especially when one considers the amount of RAM. It is possible to run applications, they take up little memory (in theory this is true for all standard applications). I like working with applications, the memory will run the open sides, and officially states that provided support for 70 applications or functions. All this sounds great but after a dozen applications open, the navigation is difficult.
At the level of the operating system is not provided with automatic cleaning of memory (this is done in an emergency, when a problem occurs). In the menu you can set the fire while the default application only goes down, which is a big minus.Due to the opening, for example, video content and nekonvertovanog MS Word document, it starts to slow down and this is a standard situation that occurred at any time.
As part of Android, or iPhone OS provided are standard ways that do not REQUIREMENTS intervention by the user, but this is not the case here, this is a disadvantage. Readers who have seen a large number of applications in the video presentation highlights the fact that this is not a good comparison, forgetting that the operating system that should take care. On the other hand, that's fine. Users do not need to bear in mind that applications are open and which are not or to what to use or not use. This is normal. The device is meant to serve people, not vice versa.
It should tell you some information about the processor phone. The device uses the TI OMAP 3630 (ARM Cortex A8, 1GHz single-core), plus a graphics co-processor - PowerVR SGX530. In my opinion, this device is very fast and the slow down only when it comes to the emergence of complex problems. Could be compared with the leading Android model - for example, Samsung Galaxy S or Sony Ericsson ARC model. Dual-core models are losing in this case, as is obvious when it comes to work the menu, it is not as fast but for most users, this rate will be higher than sufficient.
Connectivity - Bluetooth, USB, WiFi, NFCUSB. Under USB settings you can choose one of the following modes:
Data Storage (Mass Storage USB) - phone memory and memory cards are detected, drivers are not required and the operating system recognizes the device without assistance.Sync & connect. Connecting a PC to synchronize data.Data transmission speeds reach 12Mb / s (depends on operating system and your computer). When the USB cable is detected, the phone starts charging.
Bluetooth. The device uses the old 2.1 + EDR standard that does not cause any problems, since the only advantage of only 3.0 speed file transfer, and that no other effect.
The phone has support for different profiles: Headset, Handsfree, Serial Port, calling, Networking, File Transfer, Object Push, Basic Printing, SIM Access and A2DP. Everything is standard and has already seen.
Wi-Fi.802.11 b / g / n standard is supported, but this is not the first model in the market with such a range of protocols. From nedstataka too long to mention scanning the network. It is possible that the problem related to psootjanje multiple networks. Other options for this feature worked without a hitch.
NFC. This is the first model that supports NFC tags and work with them. The work depends on the countries and provided support. In fact, it is completely unnecessary unless you switch something from one phone to another using the same standard.
CameraNokia N9 camera model features a unique range of solutions that can be considered unusual for this market. Most phones have a 16:9 screen, not 4:3 as was previously the case. In order to adjust the picture via a wide-screen display, you can increase or reduce the resolution. Nokia N9 using 8.7MP sensor that reduces the image along the 16:9 aspect ratio, that is, provided the average resolution.Similarly, 4:3 provides decent picture. See the illustration in order to gain insight into how to shoot pictures in two formats.

Camera Specifications are as follows:
Maximum resolution is 3248 x 2448 for 4:3, 3248 x 2160 for 3:2, 3552 x 2000 for 16:9Aperture 2.2, focal length 28 mmAutofocus, touch-sensitive control of focus, constant focus on the subject when shooting video.Focusing from 10 cm to infinityDigitlani zoom x4 (including video mode)Geo-tagging, the addition of place names (the option is disabled by default)The ability to add up information about the authorRecording video at 720p (1280x720 pixels, 30 fps)Two microphones for video recording, stereo sound.

Describing the camera manufacturer refers to the fact that they were limited in the size of the module and that he had a 70% lower than that available in the Nokia N8 model. In my opinion this is not an appropriate comparison because the camera of the Nokia N8 selected by a different principle. In any case, the camera per day provides excellent results. By default the camera is set to 16:9, and here is given a view on a 4:3 ratio. Depending on what you like, to choose as the default setting.

Unfortunately, the device does not have the hardware camera button, control is via the screen. The time you spend to find the camera button on the screen void that works very fast. Nokia says that this is the fastest camera, but did not. A large number of devices is faster. For example, Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray. By comparing the speed of a point is meaningless, the camera is fast and that is enough for most situations. Accordingly, the statements of the fastest cameras should be left to experts in marketing.
Focus can be set to the screen and shooting video. There is an automatic identification of individuals. When the shutter button is retained, the unit focuses on the subject (blue square). Normally, when shooting landscapes, people and objects at a distance of 25cm above focus is not required, it is all done automatically.Another thing - for shooting a subject at close range it is necessary to press the button and wait for the camera to perform focusing. The camera is well demonstrated when working with objects in motion, so it is better to choose the static objects. All settings are made through the screen, while their rapid change is possible through the menu. A number settings. These include the possibility of scene selection - Automatic, Macro, Landscape, Portrait, Night, Sports, flash mode - On, Off, Red-eye reduction. White balance - Auto, Sunny, Cloudy, Fluorescent, Incandescent. Lighting compensation from -2 to +2.
Filters (only options are the first software update pom - black & white, sepia, vivid, negative, solarize.
Selecting the ISO value - Auto, 100, 200, 400 and 800th

Format photos - 16:9, 4:3, 3:2. Determine who is important in the picture and focus on that. Name of creator photos - here you can add a name or anything else as the label that will be added to all photos. Geo, called the conversion of countries, cities or areas.
When recording device can be rotated as you like, a camera interface is customizable. It is good to mention the ability to preview images in just a few seconds or permanent, and can be used to zoom (which is a unique opportunity, according to Nokia, and although the Samsung S2 Galaxy the same options available).
An unusual feature is the built-in photo editor. It is simple and no special settings.For other models it is possible to preserve the original file and edited under a different name. In the Nokia N9 and the original and edited versions of images are stored. In this case the user is available only other option and it is impossible to find the original file. In view mode, however, changes can be undone at any time, to get to the original photo. In my opinion this option is completely useless as they will be performing photo editing know that they saved under a different name.

LED flash is powerful enough, even though it has its plus and minus. I think the images that I create with flash quite revealing.
with flash Without flash

The transition between Maemo5 MeeGo and completely changed the operating system interface. The new interface has been successful - Swipe. The idea of this interface is that the phones do not have control buttons, except the unlock code.Therefore, the control should be on the screen. It is possible that such a radical approach founded on the ideas Apple iPhone with a desire to outdo the competition. At the same time, however, Apple has realized that the hardware buttons essential for a number of situations, for example, start the camera the screen is not a good idea.

Swipe This is the original user interface that made it simply has nothing to blame.The phone's standby screen displays the clock and icons for various events (with the update to version 1.1, increased the number of icons). A large number of users will surely delight in the fact that sleep mode does not have to use any hardware key, which is very rare.

The side button unlocks the screen and then displays the main screen with all the messages (of the received messages, phone calls, notes, calendar, etc.). The space on the screen gradually fills messages so they are empty most of the screen.Unfortunately, unlike most of the menu function call using this display case. What's the problem - it is not known, but it is a regular occurrence.

It is also possible to expand the screen and then gets panel with four icons - set of numbers, messages, and Web cameras. The implementation is nice, but sometimes too complicated.

With the locked screen, you can scroll left and right finger, after which you'll see three types of screens that make up the ideology Swipe user interface. One of the screens makes vertical rectangles of open applications. It is possible to close this screen through the applications menu and close one or all applications. In the first version of the software in the menu you can configure the application by entering the gesture of opening and closing. Since version 1.1 MeeGo is on by default, but can be set to be closed.
The next screen is not as interesting as it follows to unlock the screen. It contains messages and events, and weather. Also, it is to be found and options for accessing social networks that are configured on the device. For most applications, this screen is not needed, because they do not provide meaningful information and delivers functions that already exist, some statuses are displayed on the screen, but are not represented on the other. All in all, why the manufacturer decided to include this screen is a mystery to me.
Finally the last screen - the main menu. Four icons in a row and the ability to create almost infinite number of rows. Phone by default has two of these screens, but you can add icons. You can sort the icons in its sole discretion, and create your own direktorijma not possible or change the menu layout. In okolnositma where there is no program for MeeGo, this decision makes sense, so it is possible to fill two screens, up to three. This reminds me of a solution that exists in the Windows Phone 7 in which there is an endless list of applications. But even if there is sorting by name, it is not the case. In some ways, this ideology is similar to that which was applied in the first Vezija Android, where such lists also exist. However, today most of the manufacturers on their phones have sections with similar features, plus the ability to create a shortcut on the desktop. With this concept MeeGo no shortcuts, desktop applications and the like. Probably the reason is the fact that it is a crude version Swipe user interface is still no logical conclusions. On the one hand, Nokia has sought to achieve simplicity and speed of the interface (similar to a Windows Phone 7) while the other assumed that this device will be complex and will have a lot of software. The solution could be found in the evolution of the concept with the next version could have folders, widgets, or something else. However, given that the next version of the interface will not be MeeGo and that this name does not appear anywhere else except in relation to the model N9, it is useless to talk about any improvement.

The fact that the Nokia N900 was imperfect in many ways (as if for no other reason we have to say because of the lack of support for USSD commands) does not deny the fact that N9 does not have too many strandardnih implementation characteristics. For example, the phone does not have the option to speed dial numbers. It simply does not exist. Also, most devices that have the option to enter a phone number or letters of offer you suggestions from the book to avoid having to enter a complete number or name. It does here. Similar inconsistencies are many in the unit, where these things start to notice only in the daily use of the device.
The text on the screen and keyboard are implemented properly, Having regard to the particularly heavy burden of Nokia. Switching between languages can be done with one touch. QWERTY keyboard may be horizontal or vertical. With the menu selected active languages you can switch to another by moving the finger to the side. In version 1.1 appears Swype keyboard is much better than the one developed by Nokia. I recommend the use of a keyboard that is much nicer.

The last element of the interface that is worth mentioning is the status bar. It shows the battery life as well as many other indicators. Click on the icon you can change the profile of the battery - no sounds, only one tone or ring tone. Also, you can turn off Bluetooth and WiFi if they are active at a time. Status bar is very aesthetic, but nothing more.
MultitaskingTelephone implemented a limited type of multitasking, which means that you can open applications as you want, until such time as the phone has enough resources.Once the resources become scarce, the device will zatvorti earliest open applications (those that do not work in the background and consume memory at the same time).
In theory, this kind of multitasking may work well but N9 in the imlementirana very poor, mainly due to poor implementation of resource distribution. Nokia has not provided that they are adequately estimated how many resources it needs. The pimer, video for this test shows that the phone after reviewing video slows down and try otvatanja documents leads to reboot-ing. This is bad multitasking implemented.
Unfortunately, at this point we can say that the model N9 well-implemented multitasking. The main problem is that it is a device in terms neusavršenom software that is unlikely to be radically improved. Also, advising the user to close the program before you do anything else is not very smart. Users should be the one who will have something to open in memory. This is a phone problem, and if he does not mžoe to solve it, up to the phone, not by the user.
ContactsPhonebook can display the SIM card as well as with social networks (for example, Gtalk, Facebook). The device has to synchronize contacts with any of the services, but this is not an easy task. I have no doubt that many of the contacts are stored in MS Outlook but sync with this program is not possible. This is a big minus for the device. The best option is to have contacts in Gmail, since it is present in an order similar to the phone. However, starting small problems here since I was able to transfer contacts from Gmail, one of Google Talk that Prenses records in the calendar, but not to transfer them to a phone name. The secret is that Gmail konfigrišete within the MS Exchange profile and will then be synchronized biiti contacts. Why do the initial sync did not work so I do not know. The solution to this problem every user will be happy because he managed to win the phone.

In my case, synchronization did not cause any problem with entries, but some users may have problems with encoding.
Contact list is in alphabetical order, while the second sort order by frequency of access which is convenient for network services. Partial replacement for the lack of options for speed dial numbers can be offered Favorites option, with favorite numbers shown in the list. Like the list in front of each name has an icon with a picture or initials of the person.
On the right is the line of the letter and scrolling lists follow its movements. Sorting is according to the language menu. If the menu is in English, the first contact they have in that language and then those on the other. This is done conveniently and accurately.
Search for contacts made on a line search. Nea special niche here.

When it comes to entering information for a person's name without any limitations, where you can choose different types of phone for the person that you enter in the directory, as well as additional information (address, website, etc.). Overall, the book is level with the typical modenrim uređajma. For each person in your phonebook you can assign a separate ringtone.
All contacts are stored in one file. Other options are not available for export (via MS Exchange server switching can be done, but there is a lot of troubles with encoding).
SearchThis is a very handy tool to search different things on the phone. By default, this window displays the results of earlier search (without prompting, only the results).You can search in all applications, except for social networks such as Twitter.Search for all menu names, contacts and so on. If you find the desired term, you can use Google.
The browser is built on the platform Webkit2 significantly by the company advertises. The first thing you see and what will surprise is the lack of browser settings. No, absolutely nowhere. Simple, just have a browser in which you can view the website, but according to their priorities konfgiurisanje not possible. For example, in some situations I want to disable downloading files, a task which in mobnilnim networks can be very slow. Of course, such an opportunity I could not find.The browser supports the following standards - HTML5, CSS 3, XHTML.
Phone does not support flash. Is it a plus or a minus, not for me to say, it all depends on your preference. Despite the fact that for some it may be less, Apple proves to be successful for years to work without a flash.
In the browser enter the address of a site to visit. By default they are present links to sites you have visited before. During the input addresses are automatically displayed addresses previously visited sites that match what you type. Unfortunately, as I mentioned earlier, the browser does not have support for Flash, and many elements of the site will not be displayed properly. If you open a page to this device and another which is based on another operating system, you'll see the difference.

Screen size is too small for comfortable view pages in a vertical orientation in which the letters are really too small and unreadable. Double-clicking on the column of text is selected so that it is expanded, however, what will this show be a lot depends on how much space is needed for the column. Some sites in this way more readable, but it is not the case with everyone.
Guarantee a good result is achieved only in landscape orientation in which the size of the letters better. Using strokes with two fingers is possible, but when you read text from a site that is not possible but you have to scroll through the page.
Support for RSS. It is a simple way to view feeds. Here there are no problems at work.

Unfortunately, I can not say anything specifically related to the browser. No adjusted and main characteristics are the main thing related to this search engine. I must say that this browser is not even close to solutions that exist within the iOS / Android operating system. Also, the browser has some unsatisfactory karaktetristike that annoyed you in svakodnenvom use, such as lack of storing passwords, user names and autokompeltiranja entry.

PostsAt one site shows all of your chats, messages from social networks and SMS / MMS messages. Korenspondencija is presented in the form of chat and other options are not supported. Individual messages can be sent to other numbers or copy. Add a picture, sound, video will automatically convert your message into an MMS.
The list includes icons that lets you choose the service and write a specific contact.Within this model have provided no pattern, or anything like that. Everything is simple and aesthetic, but on the other hand, many details need to be added to this section was indeed functional.

MailYou can add different email accounts and still have a folder for all emails. Within Gmail you can add attachments using the standard client (as part of other accounts, it is also possible). Problems can arise with the encoding. Generally, the mail client works well, supports HTML when you view messages. Available support for POP3, IMAP, and Mail for Exchange. Contributions are not displayed in the message body, and they must be loaded separately. For most of the functionality of e-mail will suffice.

CalendarIt supports multiple calendars in a combined presentation of events from different calendars that are highlighted. They are available daily, week and month views.Everything is convenient, comfortable and there is no reason to complain. Events can be repeated. In this case, participants can add the event, which will automatically be sent a reminder. Less here is the fact that Google can sync only one calendar, which can be tricky when to synchronize say business and personal commitments.

ClockAlarms can be set for any melody and of course the moment svaom including Snooze option. I like the way it is shown the time.

GalleryPhotos and graphics files are displayed as thumbnails and have a unique type of geotagging - display name of the place where the photo was created so you can remind yourself where you created memories. You can also create their own tags, so you can assign a single photo tag your favorite pictures. Built-in photo editor is very simple and does not offer many options, but most users will be enough.

MusicIn addition to standard mp3 format (320kb / s), AAC and WMA, the phone supports FLAC. A full list of supported codecs is as follows - MPEG-4 AAC, eAAC, eAAC +, MPEG-1 Audio Layer2 (MP2), MPEG-1 Audio Layer3 (MP3), WMA 9, WMA 9 Voice, Lossless WMA 9, WMA 9 Professional and 10, Dolby Digital Plus (AC-3 & E-AC-3), FLAC. For music lovers, this will be pretty good. The player looks functional to the main page shows the nine icons albums futures, and there is a standard sort by artist, album, tracks, playlists. Also available is a hidden access to OVI store.

When you listen to album can be set to repeat tracks, or you can choose to play tracks randomly. Unlike the Nokia N900, playlists are not supported by the user. As a solution may be advised to add a favorite song, so they will be at the appropriate playlist. In this case, the phone reads them as one album. Reading a directory is not supported by any tag. Starting from version 1.1 to control the player's buttons are on the locked screen.
When you listen to the music tracks you can see information about them while OVI Music provides links to the tracks on the assumption that they are available.
Music playback quality is good, better than Android teefona, but significantly worse than the iPhone, somewhere in the medium.

VideoThe device supports the unconverted video (DVD Rip, etc). Supported formats and codecs such as H.263, MPEG4-SP and ASP, H.264 BP / MP, WMV9/VC-1 and MKV (Matroska). Problems with video playback does not, fajliovi open and play without any problems, and the sound does not escape from the synchronization.Unfortunately, there are no more options. For example, the subtitles can not be enabled or you can choose the sound from the video.

I do not like the way the video. In advanced podešavajima, you can see how long the video is played. The player supports Dolby Mobile Plus the sound, but my impression is that there is no particular change when this option is enabled or disabled.
Ironically, although given the diagonal, using the device to watch videos is nice enough and not much of a criticism. It is true that the diagonal is not sufficient, but the quality is acceptable. The unusual thing is that when watching video content with the image edges are clearly visible pink color. They can appear in different places and have nothing to do with the imperfections of pictures, odnsono player and screen. This is not always nervirajuće, you just need to click the screen, control panel will disappear and with it the line.

Maps and driving navigation modeIt is obvious that Nokia decided to install this device installed Nokia Maps, which are present in smart phones based on Symbian operating system. As for the quality of coverage, the number of countries are not different compared to previous solutions, at least I did not see the difference. You can upload individual countries and continents. Your phone comes pre-loaded maps of the countries where the unit is sold.
Since the maps have been transferred from another operating system, the question of performance. Multitasking has been changed, but as I mentioned earlier, does not work well when it comes to demanding applications including maps. Probe is manifested for example by starting to use navigation, kooridnate enter a certain level, the device begins to show you the route and suddenly comes to the freezing of device. Sometimes this happens randomly, sometimes the phone just does not load map. In any case, this problem manifests itself in all its glory.
Example of using this device is my trip to San Francsiko for which I have used Nokia N9 as a primary navigation device (T-Mobile card). To start using the device if you have not used the navigation takes about 5 minutes, and each subsequent run requires about 30 seconds. Positioning accuracy is not caused a problem, it worked well. The accuracy of maps is also good. However, here the problem points were of interest because they were poorly organized. For example, Google Maps for a few seconds you can see all the museums are nearby. As part of Nokia Maps I had at the endless list of what the program is believed to have museums, but they were only shops with souvenirs, so use this option in the Nokia Maps is not very convenient.

The overall usability of online navigation in the Nokia N9 is očaravauća. When traveling from point A to point B and it somehow works, but if you want to see what is interesting in a country or city maps that simply can not show (unless you find yourself in a place where around 100km no museums or restaurants.
Such navigation can only meet someone who is not accustomed to the benefits of additional features. In large cities, the navigation is at the level of most of the navigation service is available three-dimensional maps, satellite photos, and more.However, as a final conclusion I must say that some other programs are more like them. The biggest gripe when it comes to navigation refers to its instabilities and the need to remember that when you want to work with the navigation section is necessary to empty the memory.

OVI MusicNokia Music Store, a standard set of artists, albums on regular prices. Did not have any specifics.

ShopThe prefix in front of the OVI store is gone and this is understandable considering that the concept is proved. The service from Nokia, despite the large number of Nokia devices that are in use now is not very demanding. Shop pirkazuje all applications that are available for MeeGo, but their number is not large. In a month, as I studied this shop I found not too many new applications, only a dozen.Catastrophic is the fact that users of this phone all over the world are united in the sense that use only a small number of applications that are made for this model. For example, the degree of desperation in terms of applications the application Whats App.

A small number of applications means above all that a small number of people bought this product, but also proves that the developers have no interest in working for the MeeGo platform, unless you want to undertake voluntary work.
If someone says that MeeGo will soon be available with a number of related applications, then you know that this one is not right. In this way a complete history sumarizovana MeeGo operating system - endless waiting for the developers and people who can create something. Also, you'll see something like this and when you see what the manufacturer offers this model in the box. It relies on something which is absolutely not worth having.
OrdersYou can configure all the accounts, starting with electronic mail, endless social networks. Unfortunately, Facebook client after every time the device requires to re-enter a password, which is irritating.
Facebook / TwitterCustomers of the relevant social networks. Since version 1.1 the option is available in the Twitter client a picture. Other changes are not worth mentioning. Both clients are inferior to alternative programs for other operating systems, on which there are many more choices.

SettingsThe phone has a special mode that allows its use during flights. You can also choose the brightness to save battery power. Since the device is not poseduuje profile you can set individual sound effects. Desktop screen is only available to install the wallpaper, and this option is not available nowhere else. The phone memory can make a backup copy of all information. The other settings will not say since they do not offer much else.

CalculatorNormal applications - everything is simple.

DocumentsAnother application that requires a certain refinement - it sometimes happens that large open MS Office or Adobe PDF files is no problem, sometimes it comes to freezing. Editing documents is not possible, only preview.

Weather forecastAccuweather simple application, but it is not a complete version with no commercials. As part of the Nokia N9 it is displayed with a banner.

InstructionsInstructions on how to use the phone. Everything is plain and simple.

Wi-Fi HotspotIt is an option that is known from the Symbian operating system. Also, there are problems with Traction, sometimes affect the overall performance.

NotesStandard text notes. Everything is normal.

FeedsCheck-in RSS feeds. Everything is very aesthetic, there is no automatic updating.Functionality at the last decade.
SkypeNormal Skype client, quite simple, delivers. Can lead to restarting the phone. Affect the stable operation.
The usual list of contacts and names can be integrated in the phone book. We make it easy.

GamesPhone of the games has Angry Birds (older version). New is not available (and he did not believe it would be as fast as on other operating systems), then the Galaxy on Fire 2 (one of the favorite games in recent times, it comes with a large number of devices), RealGolf 2011 and NFS Shift. These games are there and to show you that is not really much you can expect new titles in the future for this platform. Simply no one wants to create content for the market as small and that includes only one device, such as the Nokia N9.

ConclusionFrom time to time Nokia phones disappointed me because of their unstable work-ing and reboot the device by itself for no apparent reason. In his first and certainly the last MeeGo device, the company has outdone itself. On various forums fans of this device are presented numerous examples of how the device reboot heard. The company advised them to wait for the next version of firmware. All this is reminiscent of the non-stop dance - waiting for the next firmware that Nokia will be issued, and one that needs to fix the error, and one that will finally be stable. And so from month to month. It is time to actually call a spade a spade - Nokia N9 is a very attractive device, MeeGo has great potential for real development, but what he did when The companies decided to issue the N9 MeeGo operating system is simply not a commercial product.
If you are not critical to how your device works, you're ready to swallow a number of reboot-ing and to empty the memory every time you want to use more demanding applications, this device would be perfect for you. He will long occupy your time and your hands. However, in its imperfect form, and without a lot of programs that are available to users, this device has no future.
When we talk about the price of this device is that it certainly does not justify this combination of hardware and software, but on the other hand, this device is a true rarity, and if you buy it you can be proud to own a device that Nokia has spent several years of development and more than billion euros. When it comes to selling the device, it is another disappointing failure for Nokia. Sales of this model is only slightly better than the sales of the N900, thanks to the huge publicity machinery which has been launched for this model.
I am still amazed at how the company managed to make iuređaj like good design, excellent hardware and software that is very good as the end result is so bad. It is clear that the unit does not use the full extent you will not experience all of its problems. Mređutim, in this case the question is, why you bought a smartphone only to typed messages. I can not understand how someone could consider Nokia N9 stable condition and simply overlooked its problems. This model will buy only those who are big fans of the Nokia brand, and who do not mind paying a large amount of money for non-competitive device.
PS. Since the beginning of November of Nokia Service Centres The companies have started to receive complaints related to the problem that manifesotvao by the device is realized with the SIM card contact. I did not verify this information, but the two devices with which I came into contact with one began to emerge of these symptoms.

Samsung GIO

2011-11-19T09:51:00.000-08:00

In the spring of this year Samsung introduced three new models of relatively inexpensive based on the Android operating system, the Ace, Gio and Fit. The first two models of a processor whose speed is clocked at 800MHz and 320x480 pixel display. Samsung Galaxy Gio model represents an interesting offer, considering it comes with a 3.3 "screen, casing made from high quality materials, well made, functional user interface, and a loud speaker.

Positioning
the spring of this year Samsung introduced three new, relatively inexpensive model based on the Android operating system: Ace, Gio and Fit. The first two models of a processor whose speed is clocked at 800MHz and 320 x 480 pixel screen. However, Ace model has a 5MP camera with autofocus and a large 3.5''screen. Fit Samsung camera features the same as with the Ace, but the processor running at 600MHz and the resolution is less than the minimum standards for an "Android" - 240 x 320 pixels. The difference in price between Gio and Fit models is small.
The design, size, controlsPhone characterized by small size (110 x 57 x 12mm) and weighs 102 grams. The front features partially transparent black plastic, black color is noticeable on the sides of the device while the glossy back cover made of corrugated plastic and dark gray in color. Housing design is such that the phone provides easy to use and provides a pleasant feeling to the touch so that it fits easily Galaxy Gio in hand.Fingerprints are visible on the screen.

The build quality of the device is ideal because of the large numbe rof fixing points on the back. When you press the device no creaks, while all elements of clinging tightly to each other.

Proximity sensor is located on the top front panel. Speaker volume is characterized by the average, a caller will hear you well. Below the screen are two touch-sensitive buttons: right click menu and "Back" buttons which are lit by strong white light LED.Among them are the "Home" within a rectangle with rounded edges. The key is almost absorbed into the body, a slight pressure is sufficient and there is the famous "click" sound.

On the left is the flat keys for volume control. Is slightly above the holes for phone straps. The right-hand side is the microSD slot with a small connector and on / off button. The top end is a standard 3.5mm headphone jack while the bottom are the microUSB slot and a microphone.
On the back of the device is the camera lens and two slots below which the speaker.

ScreenUnlike the Galaxy Fit, which surprisingly (considering the low resolution), has a 3.3''screen, while Gio features 3.2''(physical dimensions are 68 x 45mm).Resolution 320 x 480 pixels, TFT-LCD matrix, shows up to 16.7 million colors. The display features capacitive technology, and are supported by two simultaneous pressure (multitouch). Sensitivity is average, and often absent, ie. screen does not respond to light touch.

Viewing angles are excellent while at an angle slightly reduces contrast, but the colors remain the same. The brightness is at a high level is adjusted manually since the device does not possess sensor ambient lighting. During the conversation, a proximity sensor turns off the screen, everything works fine. This model also has MBA220 accelerometer with three axes of linear acceleration sensor and sensor rotation.

BatteryThe device uses Li-Ion 1350 mAh battery, tags EB494358VU. These are exactly the same battery used in Nokia Ace and Fit. The manufacturer claims that this battery can provide 610 hours of standby time in 2G network and up to 460 hours in 3G network. Talk time is 10 hours (2G) and 6 hours in 3G.

If you use the phone about ten hours, the battery will fully discharge by 20 - 30 minutes of calls a day, three hours using Wi-Fi internet (Twitter, e-mail, download and install applications) for about three hours using the mobile internet and a few hours listen to music. Longer work can be provided by using a smaller phone.
The USB charging takes about 2.5 hours while the power supply over takes about 1.5 hours.

CommunicationTelefn uses 2G network (850/900/1800/1900) and 3G (900/2100). Speed for HSDPA up to 7.2 Mbps. In the presence of Blutooth with A2DP version 2.1, it is possible to transfer files and speech.

The device supports wireless 802.11 b / g / n standard. The device can be used as an access point (WiFi hotspot). The setting is a special menu available.

File transfer and synchronization is performed via the USB 2.0 standard. When connected to a computer Gio is defined as the USB Flash Drive or USB modem.

Memory and Memory CardGio has 280 MB of RAM, which is enough for most tasks. To install the applications assigned to the 160MB flash memory (120MB is free). If the user wants, all applications can be transferred to the microSD. 2GB of available memory card.

CameraAce and Galaxy have a 5MP camera Fit, while Gio has a 3MP (to be precise - 3.15MP). AF speed is not satisfactory - about 3 seconds. Max photo resolution up to 2048 x 1536 pixels. The absence of mechanical buttons on the side of the phone to activate the shutter is quite disappointing.
Videos are captured at 320 x 240 and 15fps. Video quality should not comment - it is completely irrelevant.
The camera moves through the menu, and the interface is as follows: the left is the shooting mode (single shot, smile detection, panorama, continuous shooting) scene (landscape, night, sport, indoor, beach, sunset, etc..), Brightness control , configuration. The right side is a gallery, with photos to transfer video.

PerformanceAll three models (Ace, Gio and Fit) feature the Qualcomm MSM7227. However, the speed clocked models Ace and Gio is 600 - 800 MHz. However, the architecture of these models (ARMv6) has not changed. 3D-accelerator uses Adreno 200 with OpenGL ES-CM 1.1 support. This will be enough for some simple games, like Angry Birds, but more should not count.
The same chipset Skate favor ZTE, HTC ChaCha, HTC Wildfire S and other models. In terms of speed, model no S5660 in no way inferior to smart phones.During testing there was nothing unusual: restart, hang, freeze OS, etc. - one could say that everything is the same.

For each entry the following information available: avatar, name, phone number, e-mail address, Google Talk account, ring tones for a particular group, postal address, company name, note, alias, web site, birthday and anniversary.

PostsFor typing two keyboards are available: Samsung's, reminiscent of the iPhone OS and Swype keyboard. No it does not seem suitable for small screen size. In this case I was more resistant type of sensor, but in this case you can use the stylus to tap. The phone has an accelerometer, so when you turn the smartphone and when the keyboard comes in landscape mode and typing is comfortable.

You can try to install Adobe Flash that is optimized for these chips, but the speed of browsing is significantly reduced, it is for stability.

ConclusionOverall, the Samsung Galaxy Gio has left a good impression. Ergonomic design, high processing speed in the menus and applications, good camera and a bright screen. The truth is however that this model has plenty of competitors.
Also, an attractive model for customers and the Galaxy Fit (despite having a processor running at 600MHz), but resolution of this model is not sufficient for diagonal 3.3 "and its pixel are visible. If you do not mind this detail it is a great option.
However, if you choose between either Ace, Gio and fit then I would still give the advantage of Ace model, though it is the most expensive of the three.
This model was introduced in September and represents an interesting offer, considering it comes with a 3.3 "screen, casing made from high quality materials, well made and functional user interface, loud speaker and basic dynamics.
This popular model is the LG P500 Optimus, which is slightly cheaper than the S5660. In this case you get the processor clock. However, truth be told, the speed difference is noticeable, with the processor of this model can overclock the same 800MHz.

HTC RADAR

2011-11-19T09:40:00.000-08:00

The first phone from HTC with Windows Phone 7 operating system was the model of Mozart. He appeared in certain markets, but the Mango version of the operating system. Speaking about the radar, his appearance was followed almost a year after the appearance of Mozart. HTC Smart Radar is a good solution for Windows Phone operating system. Of pluses in this model should be mentioned quality housing made of metal, a camera with wide angle lens and powerful music player.

PositioningThe first phone from HTC with Windows Phone 7 operating system model was Mozart. He appeared in certain markets, but the Mango version of the operating system. As for the radar model his appearance followed nearly a year after Mozart announcing.
Today's test relates to HTC that replaces radar "Mozart" model. At first glance, one might say that not much changed but little if we look deeply, it becomes clear what users will pay a higher price: the new chipset and graphics accelerator, 5MP camera with flash, a frontal camera, enhanced diagonal although it is not a a significant increase, a higher level of brightness of the screen, slim body and other small trinkets. Since we have already published a test related to the Windows Phone operating system, in this review we will focus only on key points of the model radar.
Sales package:
PhoneUSB cable and chargerWired stereo earphonesInstructions for useDesign and controlAs was the case with previous HTC smart phones, radar housing model is composed of several parts. Much is made of aluminum. The upper and lower surfaces are made of light gray plastic - the first part covers the speaker and the second section of the battery. This design is more relaxed and more classical than the design that features Mozart or Sensation model. However, the taste should not be discussed.

Despite the fact that the unit is solidly built in general, the lower lid to loosen over time because it is insufficiently linked to the casing tightly.
The dimensions of this device are 120.5x61.5mm, which means that the phone is not too big and can be worn in a shirt pocket or jacket. The phone is not too heavy (137 grams), bearing in mind that it is made of metal glass (abrasion resistant, Gorilla glass).
Phone fits in your hand thanks to the thickness (10.9mm), and smooth lines of the case.

On the front there is a proximity sensor that works well and quickly. There is a forward-facing VGA camera for video calls. Below the decorative metal mesh is hidden speaker. The volume is excellent and the voice is transmitted with crystal clarity.

Below is the screen below which traditionally has three buttons: "Search", "Start" and "Back". In the phone settings you can set the "background applications", for example, it is possible to install applications that can work in the background, even if they are closed.

On the left is a microUSB connector, while on the right hand side button to activate the camera. When you press this button and hold it down, this way you start the camera even when the phone is locked. On the other hand this sort of thing is really handy since there is no need to spend time to unlock - you can do it in your pocket or bag. On the same side there is a button to adjust the volume. Location is not relevant: if you take the phone in his right hand and index finger trying to press the ON / OFF button to lock the screen, it may be accidentally pressing the volume control.

The top end is 3.5mm, while the bottom is the microphone. The camera lens (edge is almost submerged in the body), LED flash and speaker are located to the rear.SIM card is inserted into the metal slot located under the plastic cover. Memory card slot in this model is not available.

The appearance of HTC and Samsung i9023 radar (right):

Appearance of Radar HTC HTC Mozart (right):

ScreenHTC Screen size is 3.8''Radar (physical size is 83 x 50mm), HTC Mozart - 3.7''(physical size is 80 x 49mm). Resolution is 480 x 800 pixels, displays up to 16 million colors, it's a Super-TFT LCD matrix and capacitive sensors that allow up to ten simultaneous touches. The sensitivity is high.
Viewing angles are also larger. Compared to the model of "Mozart", the screen brightness and contrast models of "Radar" are better for some 20 - 30%. However, the density of blacks is less so, for example, when the screen display a dark image, in essence, the screen displays a gray color with a pinkish hue. Gets the impression that the manufacturer has simply increased the brightness and that provided higher capacity battery (Radar - a Mozart 1520 - 1300 mAh).
Device has an ambient light sensor, which is responsible for automatically adjusting screen brightness, which performs very well and very quickly. Manual controls let you adjust three levels: low, medium and high. The screen display does not fade and information is clearly legible.
The device is equipped with an accelerometer and gyroscope.

CameraRadar HTC smart phone boasts a 5MP camera with autofocus and LED flash. The matrix camera is made by using BSI technology, Backside Illuminated, which lets you capture images with minimal noise in low visibility. In ordinary CMOS sensor light passes through a metal grid patterns and elements before they reach the photodiode. In BSIphotodiode. Below is given a diagram.

In addition, the lens is characterized by F = 2.2 aperture. This means you can get more shots in low light lens and less depth. Based on EXIF information available in the photo file reveals that the minimum ISO 70 and the maximum value of the 800th
Another interesting product characteristics is lens - it is wide (28mm). For example, when taking over the company of people who may not be included in the staff do not have to move away because the lens will do a great job and put all people in the picture.
In combination with backlight technology and a large aperture, it is theoretically possible to get the original photo. However, in practice it turns out that the sharpness and color are no different from most modern cameras from other manufacturers, while the noise is actually lower.
If we compare the camera model "Radar" and "Mozart", the first model is inferior in terms of viewing angles, and white balance. In some cases, photos taken with the HTC Mozart are better.

The camera settings are complemented by the following parameters:
PanoramaBurst ModeBrightnessContrastSaturationHarshnessISOFace RecognitionThe camcorder also offers a set brightness, contrast, saturation and sharpness. You can enable or disable the track focus (AF).
Video quality is the same, but the radar performs file recording at 30 frames per second with a bitrate of 9000 kbps and wide viewing angle while Mozart has 24 staff and an average bitrate of 7000 kbps with a small viewing angles.

BatteryPreviously mentioned that HTC is characterized by non-recoverable Radar 1520m battery (Li-Ion) and Mozart - 1300mAh. It would be better for smart phone has the ability to replace empty batteries. It would be useful - buy a second battery and fix your problem.
The manufacturer claims that the model radar can provide five and a half hours of talk time and 360 hours of standby.
Testing has shown that the battery will provide five hours of talk time, while the playback of video content with maximum brightness and the highest level of sound through headphones - for 7 hours and 15 minutes to drain the battery completely.
The average battery will last more than a day. In Moscow HTC Radar is used for 15 - 20 minutes of calls a day, about two hours listening to music, watching movies an hour, four hours of using Wi-Fi (Twitter, e-mail, installing applications). The device can be recharged via USB for 1.5 hours or over a network of electric power for far less time.
In fact, the situation is pretty bad: as much as a good platform to the selected battery is the worst link. From this model you can not get more than two days with average use smart phones.
In the phone configuration options available for saving energy. This option displays the battery charge percent, estimated remaining time and the time since the last charge. If you enable this option when the battery reaches a certain level of discharge some services will be excluded, such as running applications in the background, or transmission of data over 3G.
PerformanceSmart phone HTC Radar works on Qualcomm MSM8255 chipset. It was developed in early 2010. The code-named Snapdragon 2, while the architecture and process technology ARMv7 - 45nm. Single processor clock speed is 1000MHz. As a graphics accelerator in the framework of this device was used Adreno 205 with support for OpenGL ES2.0, OpenGL ES 1.1, OpenVG 1.1, EGL 1.3 and Direct3D Mobile Directdraw
It should be remembering that the HTC Mozart made the previous generation chipset - QSD 8250th It is a Snapdragon chipset codenamed S1, which is manufactured in 65nm process with 3D accelerator Adreno 200th
Speed models of work and Mozart are very similar I can not say which of these two models is faster. Within each unit there is a 8GB flash memory and 512MB of system memory. Also, none of these devices does not have a microSD card slot.

LinkingThe smartphone supports GSM (850/900/1800/1900) and UMTS (900/2100) while the EDGE network (class 32) and HSDPA (up to 14.4Mbps also available. Are also available Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g / n, Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP (AVRCP, HFP, HSP, PBAP), microUSB 2.0.
When connecting with a PC, HTC Radar automatically prompts you to install special software to synchronize data - "Zune". Without it, the phone can not even be defined as the USB Flash. To perform a transfer between phone and computer to use tool for synchronisation. Photos and video content is stored in "MyDocumentes - Images - From the players HTC C110 Radar".
NavigationModel Radar uses GPS module (seventh generation gpsOne). Also, this device supports hardware and software navigation solutions "gpsOneXTRA assitance" To work with the navigation section of this device available Bing Maps. There are no adjustments. To start navigating the first time takes about 30 seconds, until the next time the device finds the satellite for 5 seconds.
ApplicationsThere is little changed. There are, however, improved HTC Hub (which displays news from the stock market, weather and the recommended application), then HTC Watch is available (shows information about movies and trailers), HTC Media Manager, click Locations and Notes. The last application I like the design aspect.You can use the virtual board to write the set stickers. If you drag your finger to the left, the board is turned to another page and display the text labels.

Several newspapers:
Programme "Improvement of Sound" is not on the menu and settings, and apparently always will be available in the HTC smart phone running the Windows Phone.

In the settings there are several options related to phone ringing. Available options including the phone to ring when it is quieter in the hand of users, ringer mode when the appliance keeps in his pocket, then to turn off tones.

MultimediaMusic player. The sound quality in the music player has stayed the same (as in HTC Mozart), but his strength is increased by 50%. Radar can easily makes you take off the headset due to its high power.
Speaker is above the cut down, but there is no loading in the case of low and high tones. When you cover the speaker volume is drastically reduced.
Video player. Video player supports the formats 3gp, Mp4, Wmv, with resolution up to 720p. To be able to transfer a video to the phone you need a Zune. If an application does not recognize the file you have to make conversion. It should be noted that the video uses the same effects as salt are those that are available for audio content.
ImpressionsThe quality of communication did not lead to any criticism, receiver sensitivity is satisfactory. Vibration is a powerful and can be felt even in the outside pocket of winter jackets.
HTC Smart Radar is a good solution for Windows Phone operating system. Of pluses in this model should be mentioned quality housing made of metal, a camera with wide angle lens and powerful music player. It is disappointing because the camera images could be better considering that a new sensor with BSI. The price of this device is truly too big and should not be surprising that many potential buyers still face device such as Mozart or Android device with a slit parameters.

Samsung Nexus S I9023

2011-11-19T09:31:00.000-08:00

Late last year Google and Samsung presented a joint product, the Nexus S i9020. This was the first device to receive Android 2.3. Later, the model presented Nexus S i9023 which is characterized by super-matrix LCD screen, unlike the i9020, which features SuperAMOLED. This device is the first smart phone made using the Contour Display technology, special curved design which improves the ergonomics of the control interface of the touch screen and provides extra comfort.

Positioning
Late last year Google and Samsung presented the overall product - Nexus S (i9020). This was the first device to receive a new Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) version. Later, the model presented Nexus S i9023 which is characterized by super-matrix LCD screen, unlike the i9020, which features SuperAMOLED.

The design, size, controls
Smart phone Nexus S in no way be considered small, its dimensions are 123.9 x 63 mm and the thinnest place is 1mm thicker than the previous model - the Samsung i9000 (10.9 compared to 8.9mm). Model i9023 weighs 129 grams, which is 10 grams more than when it comes to the Galaxy S. The casing is made from black glossy plastic while the screen is protected by Gorilla Glass coating that is quite resistant to scratches. This device is the first smart phone made using the Contour Display Technology - Special curved design (in the form of a boat) that improves ergonomics of the control interface touch sensitive display and provides additional comfort. The device fits nicely in your hand and provides a sense of comfort that largely resembles a normal phone handset. Despite the size and weight, the phone was very pleasant to use.

The build quality is excellent device: the back cover is secured to 12 places. No occurrence of any creaks. Just a note: when you hold the device near your ear and if you tilt it, within the devices is can be heard rolling from side to side. A similar situation was with the Sony Ericsson Play model, but most probably it is a sound that is created between the two halves of the device.

On the front of the device which is completely black, barely noticeable cameras and sensors - proximity and brightness. Sensors characterized by speed and accuracy. Next door there is a speaker and sound quality is excellent. Below the screen are four touch-sensitive buttons - Home, Search, Menu and Back, which are not visible without light. The light is soft, clear day in the highly visible, and at night is blinding.

The right-hand side is the On / Off button, which is almost submerged in the body and is gentle enough pressure. There is a button for volume control, while the bottom contains the standard 3.5mm audio jack, microphone and microUSB, which does not cover as is the case with the Samsung i9000 model.

Screen
Screen size is 4''(physical size is 86 x 53mm), standard resolution, as with most Android smartphones - 480 x 800 pixels (density is 233 pixels per inch). This is a Super-TFT-LCD screen capable of showing up to 16 million colors, a capacitive sensor and has a multi-touch support for up to five simultaneous touches. Sensitivity is very high.

Viewing angles are wide, while the angle decreases with increasing brightness. When it comes to the screen, I prefer to matrix even though it is made use of PenTail technology. Below is a comparison of S-LCD and the screen:

Based on SICI may be inferred from S-LCD displays Mattice smoother.

Brightness level is high, is controlled manually or through a light sensor. Color reproduction is not bad. Compared with the views set out below, the screen i9023 Google Nexus has a yellow tint. In the sun screen almost does not fade.

Battery
The device uses Li-Ion 1500 mAh battery, model AB653850CE. The vendor says that a fully charged battery can provide up to 13 hours talk time and 650 hours (27 days) of standby.

During testing the following results were obtained: the standby smart phone worked for about three weeks to fifteen hours when playing music at maximum volume level (when using headphones) and up to seven hours of video playback with automatic brightness adjustment.

The device is on average worked for about two days: 15 - 20 minutes a day, sending text messages to 20, three hours surfing the internet (Wi-Fi connection) and the same music and a half hours of video. With frequent use of the battery will be drained by the end of the day.

To fully charge the battery takes about two hours by connecting the power supply and USB takes about three hours.

Communication
The smartphone works in GSM (850/900/1800/1900) and 3G (900/1700/2100) networks. It supports the following speed: HSDPA - up to 7.2 Mbps, HSUPA - up to 5.76 Mbps. The device supports Bluetooth version 2.1 (with A2DP, EDR profiles) for file transfer and expression. With the headset has no problems.

There is also an optional wireless Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g / n connectivity. Ređaj can be used as point (Wi-Fi hotspot). In the settings you have a special item: Modem Mode.

The access point Wi-Fi

Over time the net was not lost.

For file transfer and data synchronization device uses USB 2.0. When connected to a computer Nexus is defined as the USB Flash Drive or USB modem.

Also, the device is equipped with NFC chip. This allows you to wirelessly connec at close range which permits communication with devices located on less than 10cm.

Memory and memory card.
Nexus has 512MB of RAM which is enough for most tasks. To install, upload photos, music and video available in flash memory allocated 16GB of which 13GB is free and 1GB (0.8GB free) of internal memory. Unfortunately, it has no micro SD card slot.

Writing speed to internal memory is not very high 3-5Mbps.

Camera
Samsung Nexus Si9023 module has two cameras: 5MP (no autofocus) and 0.3MP (front, no autofocus for video calls). There is a LED flash. Picture quality is not bad: the colors are natural, not much noise images, even those made during the night. Video is recorded in 720 x 480 resolution without AF at 30 fps. Why is the reduced video resolution is unclear.

There is a special button for taking pictures, the camera is activated by pressing the corresponding icon on the screen. The camera is activated quickly, there is no visible delay between pressing the screen and take the shot.

The interface is standard for Android 2.2-2.3.

Software platform
In late October of this year Nexus S i92013 worked with Google Android OS 2.3.6, kernel version 2.6.35.7. Details on the new version of firmware currently does, but it would be to fix bugs and improve the existing security.

Let me remind you that this phone is always gaining speed with the new updates

User interface and menu
In the Nexus is no user interface from Samsung called the TouchWiz, but it is a bare Android 2.3. I think that there is no need to describe the appearance of your desktop and a menu that is familiar to most readers and I will be limited to images from the screen.

Calling
To run the reference section, click on the appropriate icon in the bottom of the screen. It appears that the keyboard allows entering a phone number to call. Unfortunately, in my copy there was a slight lag between pressing the button and the appearance of the screen.

The tab's call the contact's name appears, type of call (incoming / outgoing / missed), telephone number and call. To call the numbers that are shown on the handset you must click on the right side of the screen. By clicking on the contact menu will appear with which you can choose to send SMS from a contact person or add a number in the phone book. Also available is information about a weather and date of the call.

The contacts are arranged by names and surnames. The right side of which is moving the slider up or down in the center of the screen appears the first letter of the name or names of contact persons. In this way, the contacts and sorted.

Individual parameters are located under settings - call.

Loudspeaker volume is average. When music is playing the sound can not be too strong. When a speaker closer to the hole volume is almost completely muted.

Sound quality through headphones is good, but just not strong enough. The volume is slightly above average.

Equalizers are missing as well as radio.

Video player

To watch videos in various formats you need to install an application from a third party, such as MX Video player. In this segment, the Nexus is lost from the Samsung Galaxy, which can display AVI, MKV, MPEG and other formats without installing additional facilities.

Web Browser
The standard web browser. It supports Flash 11 and multitouch gestures. It is relatively fast.

Conclusion
The quality of communication of this model is satisfactory and the level phone from Samsung. The vibration is weak, so you will not feel any device in your pocket when wearing light jackets or coats.

For me personally i9023 Google Nexus S has created a really good impression. On the one hand we have an excellent ergonomic design, a quality headset, good camera and the possibility of obtaining the latest software updates this, the availability of NFC chips. On the other hand, this model has several shortcomings such as lack of memory and a radio module, low resolution video, music player and low vibration. Perhaps the main drawback of this model is not available in a number of markets. So the final conclusion is that if Google Nexus is not officially available in your local market, you might opt for some interesting smart phone such as Samsung i9000, i9001 and i9003. These models have the same characteristics as the Nexus S, but they have and what he does: radio, microSD slot and so on. So my advice is that if you are not in love with Google Nexus choose from other devices like platforms.
