The Nokia N97 is a talented multimedia

Posted by Admin | Saturday, December 13, 2008 | , , | 0 comments »














The next mobile phone manufacturer in Finland should be a must in terms of multimedia features. So much so that we could (almost) speak with a kind of "mini-Tablet PC."


The family could grow N
So that there already models N70, N90 and N91, remember, last September, we presented the Nokia N95, the pearl of multimedia manufacturer, with very advanced functions (five megapixel sensor, compatibility EDGE, 3G and 3 , 5G, Bluetooth etc).

Some rumors are circulating today about a certain N97, which as its name suggests, should still be above the N95 on the range of mobile stamped "N". It is still unclear whether the N97 will be the replacement for the N95 or if both models coexist in the range.

Anyway, this would allow the firm to maintain its position of dominance in technical features embedded in mobile phones. And in parallel, Nokia continues to increase its sales because rising profits has been raised for the third quarter 2006.

Rumors of N97
While proposing Does this next mobile 'Or should we say this "mini-Tablet PC"! You think we exaggerate '

That is what you do change your mind: this phone is expected to integrate a 20 GB hard drive (!), Speakers with 3D effect, a photo sensor with five megapixels optical zoom 2.4 x.

And that's not all. The display offers a diagonal of 3 inches (7.62 cm) and display 16.7 million colors. The radio is clearly the game, and a port for mini SD memory card. Autonomy later, the firm could hit hard again: an autonomy of 400 hours of standby time, 4 hours of talk time and a player who could endure 24 hours without recharging.

Characteristics of madness which, remember, did nothing official, Nokia did not release to date about his new monster. The photos above, from Engadget, are also not official and some differences could be observed on the final model.

No information rather than on price, but you can be sure that it should be commensurate with the characteristics of the beast.

iPhones with 3G capability

Posted by Admin | Saturday, December 13, 2008 | | 0 comments »


According to Sprint, Samsung Instinct broke records after the release on the market. It was released on June 20 and became the fastest-selling EVDO handset in the first week of availability.The high-end functionalities that we saw during the Sprint’s live presentation we were invited at, plus the amazing price of just $129.99 with a 2-year contract after a $100 mail-in rebate, convinced us of its upcoming success, but we would expect some numbers from Sprint, to backup its announcement.
And now it’s iPhone 3G’s turn to prove what it is capable of.The latest Apple’s press release says that the company sold 1 million new iPhones with 3G capability in the first weekend, three days after the release to be more exactly, which is really impressive, but as we’ve expected, because the iPhone 3G had a longer promoting campaign than Samsung Instinct, plus that Apple had the first version available since a long time on the market.
iPhone 3G appeared at AT&T on July 11, at $200 for the 8GB model and $300 for the 16GB version with more storage, and is not available in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland,
Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New
Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, US and France, totalizing 21 countries. The price includes a 2-year contract.

“iPhone 3G had a stunning opening weekend,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “It took 74 days to sell the first one million original iPhones, so the new iPhone 3G is clearly off to a great start around the world.”

The 3G technology support makes the transfer speeds 2 times faster than the previous model, and in addition it brings also built-in GPS, iPhone 2.0 software supporting Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, and access to 800 third party applications.

Samsung J600E review pictures and caracteristics

Posted by Admin | Saturday, December 13, 2008 | , | 0 comments »




Samsung J600E is a slider cell phone announced in spring 2007 and available in stores at a low price of around $140, providing basic functionalities such as MP3 player, photo call, USB connectivity, GPRS, FM radio, voice command and card slot for additional external memory.

It is also a quality camera phone integrating a 1.3 mega pixel sensor, video recording and being capable of capturing images at a high-resolution of up to 1280 x 1024 pixels.
As all the other built-in mid-level digital cameras with no image stabilizer or high sensitivity, this cell phone model from Samsung captures clear images in almost any light condition, but not with a high sharpness level. This is an example of picture taken with the J600.

You still can rely on it when you need to take fast shots on the go, and besides this, it looks very stylish coming in this always modern glossy blue finish. Of course, there are other colors available, like classic black, red or silver.
It sports a chrome metallic trim, touch sensitive keys, and a design line that gives the impression it tends to narrow at the top and bottom. The handset measures 97 x 44 x 15 mm at a weight of 85 grams.

Samsung J600E is a good mobile communication solution using different applications like text messaging, email, Instant Messaging, HTML browsing for Internet web pages, and the uTrack, which is a tool you could set to alert you with an SMS message, in case it detects that the SIM card was changed. This way the chance to recover your lost or stolen cell phone increases. Also, it can send SOS messages in case of an emergency. The uTrack is included among uPlus phone’s capabilities.

The display measures 1.9 inches in diagonal and is a TFT with 65K colors and a resolution of 128 x 160 pixels.

Although it has vibration, it doesn’t come with the Silent mode, needed when you are in a meeting or sleeping, but other features raise its quality level, and here we have: 1000-entries phone book, 20MB internal memory, Bluetooth for wireless transfers, PC connectivity to upload your favorite media, Java, voice memo, and a 800mAh Li-Ion battery providing up to 3 hours of talk time and 250 hours of standby.

Samsung J600E is not one of the high-end camera phones but it is a great mobile device for basic tasks including taking pictures on the go.

Nokia e66 review

Posted by Admin | Thursday, December 11, 2008 | , | 0 comments »



The Nokia E66 is a direct succession to the E65. It is primarily intended for mobile professionals. In addition, he suggested, we will see in all these details destiny which could also attract people wider audience. The ownership Like the E65, Nokia E66 motive is relatively class. Admittedly, there are no carbon fiber or leather, but the materials used here are good bills and give the phone a robust and should fit in time. Its dimensions are very close to his elder. It is a little lower than the HTC Cruise, for example. It is also flatter than the latter. It fits perfectly in pockets all know and even sometimes be forgotten. The Nokia E66 is a model Slide-up ie that the screen slides up to reveal the alphanumeric keys. The sliding is very pleasant as often Nokia. We appreciate it. By default, the keys are locked automatically when the keyboard is in position "low". However, it is possible to change this feature. While the E65 offers an imitation leather coating on its installments, here it is fully covered with a stainless steel alloy. Similarly, its back cover (in fact all the plaque that can hide the battery, the SIM card and memory card) is covered with rough edges. This allows greater ownership as a coating completely smooth. Note that the camera is available both in the closed position when the screen caliper. This is more convenient to take pictures quickly without having to fully activate the motive to use this function. As E65, the E66 model offers many buttons on the front in addition to the keys "conventional" alpha. Indeed, no less than 9 functions that are directly accessible. The button to call his team members present on the E65 has disappeared. On the E66, there are buttons to stall and hang up, to validate those included an option at the bottom of the screen, a special button to erase the data before last, the cross directional, access to the main menu, contacts, timing and messages. Fortunately for them not to take too, all these keys are easily identifiable and accessible. They are in the same tone as the rest of the mobile. The alphanumeric keypad buttons are an ideal size. The battery is located under the back cover of the mobile. Simply press two buttons simultaneously on both sides of the device to open it. There is also the location for the SIM card and memory card format Micro SD (it supports cards up to 8 GB). Whether to insert a memory card, there is no need to use the battery because the insertion is done by the side of the camera (once the casing removed), this is against essential to bring a SIM card. On the left portion of E66, there is a USB port owner (do not lose so cable) and a headphone jack 2.5 mm (standard instead of being 3.5 mm). On the right portion of the aircraft, there is a button to launch the digital camera. There is also a button to activate voice recognition and two buttons to increase or decrease sound. The Nokia E66 comes with a charger, a CD-ROM installation, a headset, a memory card micro-SD 2 GB and one year license GPS navigation. Inside The home menu displays several shortcuts with default messaging, Internet access, Nokia Maps, notes, the manager of files and can change in an instant the theme of mobile. The latter option may be practical to use the device in professional and move very quickly to a staff. Underneath, there may be several other shortcuts such as upcoming appointments, notification of new messages, the configuration menu of the mobile Internet and others. Note that the Nokia E66 is equipped with a motion sensor which allows it to change the orientation of the display depending on how it keeps the mobile in hand: horizontal or vertical. We appreciate it. The main menu contains several folders: Communication, office, log calls, connectivity, tools, multimedia, software installations, GPS, web, downloading applications or content and a help menu. It is possible to organize this menu as desired by moving icons. It's convenient.

The University of Washington announced Thursday that a group of engineers has developed software which for the first time, allows deaf and hearing impaired using American sign language on a mobile phone.

This is the first time that the video transmitter and receiver in real time has been demonstrated on laptops in the United States. The engineers have received funding from the National Foundation of American Science for a field project including 20 people who will start next year in Seattle.

The research team has posted a video of the prototype on You Tube: "Many people are excited (for this project)," said principal investigator, Eve Riskin.

In terms of mobile communication, the deaf communicate at the moment by sending text messages.

"But what you want is to be able to communicate in the language of your birth," said Riskin, and continued: "For the deaf and dumb, it is the sign language."

The video is much better than text messages, because it is faster and better transmit emotions, "said Jessica DeWitt, a researcher in psychology, herself deaf. She said she spoke much using his face, and these expressions can be transmitted by video phone.

The availability of portable video for the deaf and mute will be restricted until the service is provided by a mobile phone manufacturer, "said Riskin. The team has already discussed with a major supplier of mobile network that has shown interest in this project.
