Review: Nokia N900, pocket computer

January 26, 2010 :: Posted by - admin :: Category - Nokia, Review

Competition in the mobile phones “excessively” intelligent becomes more intense as the potency of hardware has increased significantly and in gadgets. If the Nokia N900 maemo we talk about the real experience of computer pocket that Finns like to announce an all N-Series range development. Somewhere on the border between the phone, tablet PCs and portable multimedia center, maemo sure has something for every type of user, and mobile connectivity and navigation on a touch screen so generous allowances raising envy of competitors.

Without a trace of doubt, the defining element for usability and even the appearance of the Nokia N900 is 3.5 inch screen, touchscreen, capable of 800 x 480 pixels resolution. Deserves praise not only the screen size, but also that it color palette to tame it, and all 16 million colors makes watching a movie or even just browsing the menus or online in a very pleasant experience. The screen occupies 99% of the front surface of the phone, and the rest is occupied by small slot of the speaker, the proximity and light sensors and VGA camera for video conferencing possible.

The size and especially the phone volume suggests that the Nokia N900 will be used by “serious people” and you could almost swear that the hole for any curious, maemo will shake like a nightmare and will run quickly to someone who appreciates him indeed. However, perhaps no hole was not exactly thrilled with “giant” which measures 110.9 x 59.8 x 18 mm (which for the curious means a volume of 113 cc). As for the gauge, the Nokia N900 is a “hard” in the true sense, the 181 grams of its being sometimes a threat to the integrity pockets infirm. However, full QWERTY keyboard (arranged in three rows) and comfortable enough so big touch screen are the main “culprits” for imposing aspect.

The front of sins only through the attraction of uncurbed that feels for fingerprints, and if you want to prevent as much decorating screen unsightly marks left by fingers, it may be best to navigate the interface using the stylus’s equipment, accessories hidden discrete lower left corner of the phone (in the closed position). And if everything you claim to use the Nokia N900 and as a media player, believe me not want anything to ştirbeşti picture quality offered by one of the best smartphone screens available today, so, although responses to commands data screen with your fingers is great, would be desirable to make use of the stylus, even for the simple reason to protect your fingerprint.

It would be a situation where the use of the stylus’s clearly indicated, that is if you want to place an order located in any corner of the screen. Chapter precision peripheral N900’s screen needs some work. However, if you think that a phone with touch screen and stylus bearer is musai also have handwriting recognition features for this model Sony, that rule does not apply.

The second defining element for this smartphone is a full QWERTY keyboard, with buttons placed on three occasions and keys large enough to allow a convenient and rapid butonare. The response given by pressing each key and feeling to be both enjoyable and will convince you to use the physical keyboard as the main way of entering data at the expense of calling the virtual buttons. The keyboard is illuminated more or less, according to information received from light sensor studying ambient lighting.

Phone speakers are placed opposite each other, first on the upper side, the second on the bottom, and the chapter buttons butonele, N900 presents only classical keys such as volume control, key for closing / opening the phone, camera shutter button and slider to unlock the screen. Phone profile is not “disturbed” than the USB port (upper zone) and the sound of 3.5 mm, placed on the lower side. The dorsal is host to 5 MP camera, protected by a sliding device, and under that you can see the Carl Zeiss lens and flash the LED. All around “camera” photo is a state whose role is to support the phone for times when a movie is intended or automatically through a photo gallery.

Review: HTC Hero

January 25, 2010 :: Posted by - admin :: Category - HTC, Review

First of all say that I do not like touch sites. I have a LG KC780 for my number current that pisses me off to die to dial numbers on a virtual keyboard, especially when I like to watch the phone.

And with all this, Hero’s captured me from the first moment (which iPhone, for example, did not). Starting from as strange and continuing with the phone that is Linux, so you can rotate and do what you want on it.

Okay, to clarify the situation: I use HTC’s more like a PC (stand on Twitter, on the net, etc..) Rarely talk to him. So I usually watch are stopped and when you use your phone. So I need to feel the finger keys.

I like the virtual keyboard, I feel okay with it already (Midget ask me how I write so easily on the narrow, but just seems wrong). Not a keyboard you try to write a blog post (as was that of the HTC Touch Pro 2, or even the Nokia N97), but certainly it does its job well.

Applications:

The most important thing in this sort of phone is the applications available. That idea, I have a UK number that you can use to buy the Market (although you can take your applications directly on the net without problems).

Well, here there is a store applications, like I said (like iPhone or Nokia), called Market, but not as rich as the iPhone. The difference is that most applications are free, even some who are paid on the iPhone (Shazam is one of those where I think). On the other hand, their quality is rather low (from what I saw), and the games are weak compared with the iPhone or Windows Mobile games (I saw Syberia 2 on WM and seemed to me super hard).
