Nokia N8 Review

Nokia N8 is a product of Nokia's multimedia Wednesday explores two new things at once. Namely mutimedia standard Nokia Symbian operating system current and the most updated version. Both felt cohesive and complementary.
"IPhone Competitor" is a series of the most appropriate word to describe the Nokia N8. Using capacitive touch screen is responsive, uniting the battery into the casing which can not be opened, put the SIM card slot in the hotswap mechanism and by simply providing a single button at the bottom of the screen, reminiscent of the most successful multimedia phone made by Apple-iPhone.


However, rather become imitators, N8 precisely optimize their abilities and, as it shows on the iPhone, that they could be better. Is a 12-megapixel digital camera with xenon flash which seemed to have been able to replace the role of your digital pocket camera. That's just one thing, there are still others. So do not be surprised if this product is much anticipated Nokia fans.
 
Symbian ^ 3 Onslaught of phones with the operating system which was rising, Android, apparently a little worried that Nokia is also keen to develop their typical Symbian OS. In such until they eventually develop the Symbian OS that can compete, both with brand-new OS like Android, mapun with OS older continued to experience improvements such as IOS's iPhone and Windows Mobile.


Upon reaching the fifth edition of Symbian OS with its 5th edition, Symbian does not grow into the Symbian 6th, but the Symbian 3. It looks not much different from Symbian 5th and 3rd are already comfortable in their respective markets. But with the addition here and there including some of the things that are familiar to fans of other operating systems.
 
If the IOS (up iOS4) and Android, you can assigned the multi-desktop (view home with a number of pages that can be utilized and personalization), then you can find it in this brand-new Symbian. Also with a view widget that can be personalized. Hmmm, I think Android really.
But the software side, the OS environment is still friendly with applications, which in essence meant for older Symbian, especially the 5th edition which also has a touch interface. Some do look complicated additions such as support for Qt (read: kiyut) which is a cross-platform applications for developing applications with a broad designation and Web Runtime. Join the C + + to be maximized in a mobile phone that endorse them.
Nokia N8 is the first phone with this OS. But do not worry about the level of difficulty that will be found. In fact you will not find the slightest difficulty, if you are familiar with the Symbian 5th edition.

 
Looks Like an iPhone? Wannabe iPhone sentence might seem too bad for the N8. But in fact on the exterior, this phone is going to remind us of the iPhone.

N8 bring high-resolution screen, 640 x 320 pixels (nHD) with AMOLED screen. Sound familiar to you? Yes, this specification is the same specification belonging to some new touch screen multimedia phones. Such as Samsung Galaxy S.
From the brightness of the image, N8 able to look equal, but on the density of the iPhone is far beyond the image quality N8.
Not as usual, Nokia sealing the batteries inside the sealed casing. Like the iPhone. So far, the mechanism is quite difficult when cell phones were taken away, because we are not given the freedom to provide battery backup.
As significantly, the home Simcard which is usually placed under the battery now move to the side with hotswap mechanism. Aliases can be issued without having to put off the phone. Slots are used in addition to the memory card slot. Well this one is a major advantage because it allows us menambagh N8 memory space in accordance with the wishes.
The most interesting is the presence of multitouch capability, or whatever the name given by Nokia, which resembles the way the screen interacts with its iPhone users. The same is often carried out HTC for some premium products, from both Android and Windows Mobile camp.
With this feature, we can do browsing, zoom in and out just by pinching the screen, and many more uses.

 
Negative issues Nokia N8 carry enough supplies at the hardware side. It uses the ARM processor MHzplus 11 680 separate endorsement 3D graphics accelerators. Also with a decent 256 MB Ram, and 512 ROM. But the problem when we try, we still often have a reduction in the speed performance of the phone. Once we thought nge-hang, and it is difficult to overcome, because we can not just remove the battery freely on the phone, a few minutes later the phone goes back to normal.
We believe that this happens because the operating system. Referring to the same phenomenon when we were using Symbian 3rd and 5th. But when compared to both the OS, the Symbian N8 ^ 3's are already much better.
Battery Judging from the specifications, capacity mobile phone battery appears to have enough to keep the performance of all the features supported. But with the use of cameras that are optimal, the Internet sewaktui-time and the music player on several occasions, we found that the phone battery can last for 1.5 days.
Conclusion Nokia N8 meruapakan best camera phones we have reviewed. Judging from the photo shoot in dim light, near and far distances, ancillary features such as Xenon flash is able to work as needed without producing images that are too bright. Especially if we look at the price it offers.
Even with HD features and multiple capabilities around networking, internet and productivity, so this feels like a multimedia phone capable of doing anything. Unfortunately a number of problems still found in the hardware acceleration, and receiving the Internet signal is less than perfect.

12 megapixel camera

BlackBerry Storm 9500 Review

Strengthen its position as the giant vendor's smart phone, Research In Motion (RIM) again presents the newest BlackBerry 9500 series or better known by the codename BlackBerry Storm. Mobile phone touch screen premiere, touted as a competitor to Apple's iPhone. What are the advantages?
Unlike the previous series BlackBerry, the BlackBerry Storm is more favored than the multimedia functions of business features. This can be seen from the technology SurePress (SurePress Technology) on the touch screen, which won the Best Mobile Technology Breakthrough at the Global Mobile Awards on the sidelines of MWC 2009, Barcelona, ​​16-19 February 2009.
SurePress technology is technology that has a touch screen button bouncy effects (haptic feedback) like a regular physical button. Is arguably a unique form of technology from RIM. Because, in previous series, RIM has been popular as the creator of the BlackBerry device with a typical QWERTY keyboard layout that has many business functions.
Features
Nothing too special other than the BlackBerry. Storm is just charming as touch screen technology. Other features almost the same as the BlackBerry, the BlackBerry model candybar. Call it, a number of specific work applications on the platform of the BlackBerry OS, Document Editor (Word, Excel, and Powerpoint). It also contained an HTML browser for browsing and facilities of SMS, MMS, E-mail, to Instant Messaging (IM).
BlackBerry
Storm for e-mail, users can create free e-mail account (up to eight accounts), such as Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Hotmail, and so on. E-mail facilities can be optimized with any POP3 e-mail to corporate. Just like other BlackBerry e-mail feature on the Storm is quite practical. File e-mails will be automatically rendered first by the BlackBerry server. Thus, at once the setting is made more friendly. Users can also attach an attachment format. Jpg,. Pdf,. Doc,. Xls and. Ppt when sending e-mails.
As for IM, in addition to BlackBerry Messenger, users are allowed to download additional applications such as GoogleTalk, Skype, Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger, and so on according to user needs. BlackBerry Storm has adopted a built-in Java. So that the Java-based applications can run properly as long as it is able to support the BlackBerry OS.
Multimedia
Storm, which was equipped with a speakerphone, a 3.5mm audio jack port, also embedded media player (which supports MP3, WMA, and AAC +) and video player (which supports MPEG4, 3gp, H.264, WMV up). Not to forget the voice dial and voice memo to allow a user in making a call or just a reminder.
Meanwhile, in addition to GPS and BlackBerry Maps as a signpost, the Storm also enabled dipermewah with 3.15 MP camera (2048x1536 pixels) with digital zoom, auto-focus and LED flash. Not only to take pictures, this camera also works for moving pictures.
9500 Storm can also be equipped with additional applications, such as Viigo, Facebook, Opera Mini, and the like, as long as no more than 1GB of internal storage. Users can add storage capacity with microSD up to 16GB.
Connectivity
To transmit data or files to another device or PC, available on the Storm mini-USB 2.0 cable and Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP. The USB cable can also be used for data synchronization and charging. While it can be for the bluetooth handsfree and A2DP stereo headsets.
Special data services (internet), in Indonesia, while the BlackBerry is working with three major telecom operators, ie, XL, Indosat, and Telkomsel. Axis will follow later this month. Nothing is more special, similar to the Bold, Storm also able to conduct internet-enabled 3G/HSDPA.
In addition, for data access, Storm also supports GPRS class 10 (32-48 kbps) and EDGE class 10 (236.8 kbps). Unfortunately, in the era before the WiMax technology, the premium is just not equipped with a WLAN modem, so it does not have Wi-Fi feature.
Design
Clayey front side, the Storm look elegant with a glossy screen that extends vertically. Four buttons at the bottom of the screen, making it seem not adventurous. Bravo!
Speaking further screen, of Storm 'juara'nya among the ranks of other BlackBerry, because only the pinned Storm touch-screen technology 65K colors sized 3.25-inch 360x480 pixel resolution.
The ability of the screen is equipped with a backlight that is able to maintain the image is clear and bright even in sunlight. Everything feels more complete with accelerometer sensor for auto rotation (auto-rotate) by means of gravity.
Performance
BlackBerry Storm
For about three weeks VIVAnews observed, the Storm's performance was no better than the Bold. It found no problems about the system or machine. However, to speed the process, the Storm defeated when juxtaposed with the Bold.
BlackBerry large StormKemungkinan is caused by a processor that is not better. Storm adopts Qualcomm MSM7500 chip speed 528MHz with 128 MB of RAM memory. Bold has better specs, which is capable processor at 624MHz with a memory capacity, 128MB. Very surprising considering the Storm is touch screen devices, while the Bold candybar without a touch-screen technology.
This is worsened by a less sharp evaluation by RIM about the time required for start-ups. When the Bold takes 4-5 minutes, the Storm was not much different. Ironically again, with rich multimedia features, the Storm battery capacity even worse than the Bold, only Li-Ion 1400 mAh, while the Bold 1500 mAh. As a result, the Storm is only able to survive one day in the corridors of normal use. Naturally, the selling price of the Storm become slow from day to day, from Rp 8.5 million since its launch to about 5.6 million per unit.
Pros:
- Fast internet, 3G/HSDPA support for infrastructure
- Touch screen technology SurePress
- Very good quality voice calls
BlackBerry Storm
- Dual-mode functionality for roaming, EV-DO Rev A and UMTS / HSDPA
- 3.2 MP camera-enabled
Disadvantages:
- Does not support Wi-Fi, FM radio, flash or flash-based animation
- A slow process, limited processor capabilities, can not video call
- Battery wasteful, more extravagant than any other candybar BlackBerry
- E-mail is valid only with the BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS)
- SurePress technology makes this phone is really limited to the multimedia category, because it is not very helpful for editing text

New Samsung Galaxy 10.1 - Reviews - Support WIN 7

Samsung's new tablet has a larger screen than the iPad 2, thinner and lighter weight fact already using the best Android Honeycomb, these tablets have been tested but still has some drawbacks
The tablet is lighter and faster,! First iPad 2 was introduced with a thickness of 34-inch and 1.33 pounds. Now the Galaxy Samsung Android OS 10.1 with Honeycomb a contender to meet the iPad 2 with a larger screen and thinner thickness. That's quite encouraging, given the Galaxy a little larger screen 10.1 inches to 9.7 inches from the iPad. On price, the Galaxy match competitors iPad-a 16 GB version of WiFi-price in bendrol only $ 500, while the 32 GB version at $ 600 (no 3G or 4G version of Tab 10.1 Galaxy at launch).
How Samsung is not teraa heavy in your hand?. This material is leaning more made of plastic, but can not be said to use cheap fabrics. Fit and finish is good, there are several buttons (volume up and down, power on) feels solid and bright and beautiful screen, which majadikan samsung tablet is one of the best we've seen on Android tablets imaginable. However, quite a lot bendiness to the Galaxy Tab 10.1-which makes us a little worried about the long-term durability.
However, this is just my best Android Honeycomb but from the side of the tablet yet. Although using the same dual-core processor, 1-GHz chip as Nvidia Tegra 2 Motorola Xoom who feels snappier and more responsive to the touch. We have to download and install some drivers from Samsung site before Tab Galaxy will run on Windows 7, but so we do, the file can be moved easily from computer to the device. (The software even offered to convert avi movie files to the format of choice Galaxy, which is nice., Given the Android device does not natively support the avi ..) Audio sounds good through the stereo speakers tablet,
Some need in perhatiakan: There are still loading weird when you change the orientation of the Galaxy Tab. This loading can take up to 3.5 seconds in the Xoom and Acer Iconia, but dropped to less than 2 seconds in the Galaxy, which is a mild improvement. Like most of the Honeycomb, Galaxy Tab 10.1 using file transfer protocol MTP, which is designed for Windows Media and truly recognized by OS X. There are solutions available from Google, but despite trying, we never get it to work in the Galaxy. Samsung seems to have taken Apple's philosophy of limited connectivity. Output only on this device is a mini-audio jacks and connectors owned by Samsung. That means no HDMI output, though it can be performed via the accessory cable. Also, there is no microSD slot, so memory device is clearly nonexpandable. 

The last question is how this device compared with the iPad 2 (since Tab Galaxy seems really, really want to be compared with the iPad 2). This is clearly the strongest shot in an arc in the segment Android Apple, especially when it comes to form factor-but it still does not fit with out-of-the-box polish and usability iPad. However, Android Honeycomb is growing very fast, and getting better all the time. So assuming the Samsung allows Tab Galaxy improved OS 10.1 upgrade path, it could be even more capable machine in the future.
