The difference between a smartphone and a regular phone is primarily an operating system, the facilities it offers. A smartphone is guided by the same principles as a computer. You can install programs that interest you and you provide a high level of configuration. Another advantage is the easy synchronization of information, either a PC or an online service.

With proper application, a Nokia smart phone can be synchronized with a program like Outlook, or an online application such as Google contacts agenda. Let us now the first choice, synchronize phone data with Outlook, the Microsoft Office suite.

What you can synchronize and why

What is the logic, you can synchronize only information covered by two instruments – the phone and schedule. In addition to e-mail, your Nokia smartphone and Outlook’s share three elements: book contacts, calendar with your tasks and notes of sites. Therefore, these three types of data can be synchronized – manually or automatically – from a Nokia smartphone and Outlook.

The reasons why you resort to such synchronization are multiple. One would be that you need for meetings in your calendar or notes to appear on the laptop or PC. Another reason, as thoroughly, is that you need to be stored as contacts on both phone and computer. This means that you always provide a backup for unexpected situations (loss of contact, phone, etc. change.).

What you need to sync

You need three things, of which two are obvious as possible: a Nokia smartphone (Symbian S60 operating system) and a computer on which you installed Microsoft Outlook.

The third requirement is the application Ovi Suite or for older phones, Nokia PC Suite. It acts as an intermediary and is, in fact, that makes all the work. If you installed both programs you can go for it.

Add phone to Ovi Suite

This is the first step you do, usually right after you buy your phone and install Ovi Suite. Application of the Nokia is very simple process:

* Follow the path Tools – Add new device
* Choose the type of connection (cable or Bluetooth)
* Attribute name a phone after it is detected

Almost all mobile phones today offer the least support for Java, so you do not necessarily need a smartphone to enjoy a companion for you to provide more than just plain communication. Sure, a smart phone running some software allows more complex – that is why in this article we will recommend the general sites (where you find programs of all sorts, themes, Ringtones, Wallpapers, Free Games, etc..), As and sites with applications for advanced operating platforms. As you see, free phone content is found in abundance on the Internet. I intentionally omitted the official sites (App Store, Android Market, Ovi Store etc..) Deorece I consider to be already known to readers.

General

http://www.zedge.net/

zedge.net site is a clean, well structured, where you find themes, ringtones, videos, wallpapers, sms predefined and games. Before download an application must specify which phone model you own, to adapt the program / theme (if possible) to its operating platform and screen. After downloading a number of applications required to register. Registration is free. A similar site, but with a tinge of hi5 May is mobile9.com.

http://getjar.com/

It is probably best known site for mobile applications. There are a lot of programs for all platforms. Programs are grouped by category (games, socialization, productivity, health and so on), are accompanied by a fairly comprehensive and user comments module.

http://www.mobilerated.com/

Mobilerated.com welcomes us colored pages in tabloid style, but once you click on the tab “Downloads” everything is clarified. The site includes free applications, trial, for cost or accompanied by ad-ware. As the above cases, you must specify the phone model you want to run the application.

If you’re like us, keeping a smart phone for two years really isn’t an option. After about 6 months of ownership the honeymoon is over; after 9 months you begin to obsess over a few battle scars your phone has acquired, and by month 12 you are actively seeking your phone’s demise so you have an excuse to buy the latest and greatest. Starting immediately, T-Mobile will be offering post-paid smartphone customers on a two year contract — or feature phone owners looking to upgrade to a smartphone — two tiers of upgrade pricing… as long as you are willing to renew your two year deal. The move is aimed at curbing the number of customers jumping from T-Mobile to other networks, specifically AT&T and Verizon Wireless. Customers will be eligible for a “tier 1″ discount if they have had their phone for 1-11 months, are currently in a two year contract, and have an individual voice plan that is $29.99 or higher — $49.99 or higher for family plans — and are upgrading to, or buying a new smartphone. Customers qualify for “tier 2″ pricing when they are in a two year contract, have an individual voice plan that is $29.99 or higher — $49.99 or higher for family plans — are between months 12-21 of their two year contract, and are upgrading to, or buying a new, smartphone. The exact discount pricing hasn’t been made available yet, but TmoNews speculates that a myTouch 3G, which retails for $400, would cost those that qualify for the “tier 2″ pricing around $240.

A smart phone is not just because it was put in office marketing label. A telephone reveals its intelligence functions and skills by its, by what he can do and what distinguishes it from a phone obşinuit. Phones are raised to the rank of smartphone operating system you use.

Symbian S60 is such an operating system. It is, in fact, the operating system that takes on the shoulders all Nokia smartphones, whether we speak of the touchscreen (5th edition) or ordinary (3rd edition).

A smartphone with the S60 offers numerous facilities. If we were to enumerate some as web browser, the GPS, office suite and multimedia programs. Messaging added to them, the application that deal, as its name suggests, the message.

From what we see, the company HTC is very active in launching a lot of smart phone models, and had heard the last of which information was confirmed by several appearances on the Internet.

HTC Supersonic was confirmed by some “flaws” on the Internet, and began to be released only to the mobile phone operator “Sprint”, and among its characteristics we find some common specifications of the HTC model H2.

Otherwise we mention that it will have operating system Android, a 1GHz processor (known Snapdragon), 1GB of internal storage, display very large 4.3-inch capacitive type and built in OLED technology.

What is interesting is that he will have a higher capacity battery than the average for these smart phones, and will have the same 5 megapixel camera found in model “Nexus ONE.

Yet not known until the approximate date of release, to be held in March, the price still remains unknown.

Of course a company like Gigabyte, which has a “weight” considerable IT industry could not miss the ones that use operating system for mobile phones produced by Google – Android.

They plan to launch a smart phone with that operating system in the coming months, most likely in March, a model that still has an official name now appeared and its detailed specifications.

He will have a 2.8-inch diagonal screen with a resolution of 240×320, the 528MHz Qualcomm processor unfortunately will not support 3G but it compensates in some measure by wireless radio.

Also will have a GPS module, 2 megapixel camera, support MicroSD type memory and internal storage of 512MB.

The commercial launch, this “smart phone” will have a price around 300 USD.

After stirred interest, Nexus begin to be analyzed in detail.

Obviously, he was taken into account and a resemblance between Nexus One and Motorola Droid, from three criteria: both have operating system Android, both have screens touchsensitive and both are a challenge for the iPhone.

There are however some significant differences, especially in terms of pricing. While the components for Motorola Droid cost 185 dollars, Nexus is something cheaper in this respect, reaching $ 174. The difference of $ 11 is certainly found in the difference between prices at two smartphones free: Google sells to 529 $ Nexus One, while Motorola sells Druid with $ 599.

After Nexus One, you get the portfolio of Google, HTC Smart phone is first released by Taiwan this year. Ironically, Samsung Smart is a smart phone. Even the first regular phone, or dumbphone launched by Samsung.

There just is not a smart phone, but HTC Smart does not shine in Chapter facilities. Maricel has a touchscreen, 2.8-inch, HSDPA and Bluetooth. On the other hand, fares very well in Chapter processor (300 MHz) and RAM (256 MB).

It has GPS and Wi-Fi but has a microSD slot and a 3-megapixel camera. The operating system Qualcomm BREW, and graphical user interface used is Samsung Sense.
