Product Synopsis

Pros: The Samsung Instinct SPH-M800 offers a professional, instinctive design and a heavy load of commanding, novel, and easy-to-use sharp features. It predominantly stands out as a messaging and a superior GPS android.

Cons: The Samsung Instinct SPH-M800 lacks Wi-Fi technology and instant messaging, and also its call and video quality are inconsistent. Another drawback with this handset is its internet browser could be refined. The internal memory is too less and it doesn't go with the image. The camera requires editing some features.

Bottom line: The Samsung Instinct SPH-M800 stands out as one of the finest CDMA (code division multiple access) device till date. It's just too bad at its call quality and it could be more improved.

The HTC Touch Pro2 Review

2009-08-24T23:58:00.000-07:00

In the course of Android and would-be heroes we're about to revisit HTC on their as usual Pocket PC platform. With two diamonds in the crown and two pros on the squad, HTC march towards Pocket PC ascendancy and the Touch Pro2 looks like it has what it takes to lead the drive.

Robust and more striking shell than the original Pro.

Pocket PC is for sure the HTC game, but it sure isn't a one F-1 race. The list of high-flying number 2's is possibly about to be continued with an XPERIA. Alternatively, the launch of the Touch Pro2 is perhaps timed just right to beat another giant from the Symbian support - the N97 Nokia.

Nevertheless, that's just the background. The main thing is how the Touch Pro2 manages and executes tasks.

Key features:

3.6" touch screen with 65K-color WVGA display quality.
Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support and HSDPA 7.2Mbps.
Wi-Fi and built-in GPS receiver with A-GPS.
3.15 mega pixel auto focus camera.
QWERTY with Five row full, side-sliding keyboard with exceptional quality.
288 MB DDR SD-RAM and Qualcomm MSM7200A 528 MHz CPU.
Dedicated graphics chip with 64MB RAM reserved for graphics.
zoom bar with touch-sensitive.
Active stylus.
Mini USB port.
Bluetooth v2.0 with A2DP.
Brilliant video playback.
TV output.
Micro-SD memory expansion.
Cool You-Tube client support.
Opera 9.5 web browser.
MS Office Mobile document editor

Drawbacks:

Comparatively bulky weight and huge size.
No standard 3.5mm audio jack.
So so sunlight legibility.
No default FM radio.
Bad camera quality.
No flash.

When talking about upgrading, the HTC Touch Pro2 takes a leap forward in screen terms driving up both resolution and size. The return of the tilting screen will sure be applauded. Now, add the revamped and improved exterior.

BlackBerry Storm (Verizon Wireless)

2009-08-24T01:42:00.000-07:00

The BlackBerry Storm loomed up a lot of hype and thrill as the first touch-screen BlackBerry handset. The touch capabilities were new enough alone but add to that Research in Motion's Sure Press tasking (the application that formulates the screen to be clickable), an impressive feature list, and the reasonable $199.99 pricing, and there were a lot of expectations for the BlackBerry Storm to succeed. However, when the Storm finally drove into city, it was a definite letdown because of the phone's slothful performance and bugginess.

Verizon Wireless has since released two firmware updates. In the recent, released on 31st May, 2009, greatly improves the device by resolving a number of bugs and improving general performance while adding some superior feature enhancements. While we would have preferred all of this from the get-go, the BlackBerry Storm is now a more stable device that should please current owners.

The Pros: The BlackBerry Storm features a pioneering touch screen that provides perceptible feedback to confirm your selection. The Storm offers dual-mode functionality for world-roaming capabilities. A and UMTS/HSDPA support, as well as as well as EV-DO Rev. Other special features include GPS and a 3.2-mega pixel camera for fine imaging.

The Cons: The Storm's Sure Press touch screen takes some acclimation and the onscreen keyboard is a bit cramped. The smart phone can still be sluggish even after the firmware update. Speakerphone quality was a bit choppy

The Conclusion: The New BlackBerry Storm may drive in a frenzy for Verizon Wireless subscribers wanting a touch screen similar to the Apple iPhone. However, there are bugs and performance issues that prevent the Storm from delivering its power pact potential.

Digiskin Modernizes Your Gadget

2009-08-21T03:59:00.000-07:00

The most recent and modern trend that appears is to cover gadgets with a special designer cover known as Digiskin. This fad Digiskin technique to elaborate cover is suitable for any gadget covering your mobile phone to lappy's; the cover gives a protective layer and will helps to keep away from any damage whilst at the same time looking exceptionally stylish. The Digiskin is likely to target more to the younger generation and is similar to the phone charm in its appeal for standing out amongst the mob.

The Digiskin team owns up to be able to make any image a cover for your phone, ipod, MP3 player or any other gadget. If you don’t have a preferred image there are lots of idiosyncratic and stylish designs that they can offer. By the help of Digiskin it is possible to put any image from a copy, favorite cartoon character, family snap or even should you wish your appointment letter!

The cost of Digiskin is around £25 for a mobile phone up to about £45 approx for larger items like laptops. The Digiskin team employs unique method that coats the device with a thin skin of foil measuring only 0.05 mm thick, which embellish and protects the gadget from underneath, whilst allowing it to be completely operational and more importantly removable also. The unique skin application is so light and looks almost part of the gadget so you will find it difficult to tell that this is an addition and not part of the products original manufacture.

A minor criticism is that we hope that the Digiskin cover itself is a little better than the company website as regrettably it does not do the product justice in any way.

Apple iPod Touch 32-GB

2009-08-16T23:24:00.000-07:00

Product Details

The good features: This second-generation Apple iPod Touch is a complete package along with style: it offers music, videos, photos, podcasts, e-mail, Web browsing, Internet radio, games, Nike+, Wi-Fi music downloads, and an App Store for adding thousands of custom features.

The bad features: The second-generation iPod Touch may be overwhelming to users looking for a simple music player; audio quality is average; and iTunes software is required.

Brief review: The Apple iPod Touch 32-GB includes features that are light-years ahead of the competition, its design has improved, and its price has finally touched down to earth

Features:

Priced at around $230 (8GB), $300 (16GB), and $400 (32GB) approx. The Apple iPod Touch 32-GB still commands a fairly high price compared with other MP3 players with similar features. When you compare the price of the Apple iPod Touch 32-GB against its features, however, the gadjet becomes much more attractive. Out of the box, Apple iPod Touch 32-GB includes an amazing music player, video playback (including iTunes rentals and a YouTube player), podcast support, a Safari Web browser, photo viewer, an e-mail reader compatible with Exchange, Outlook, MobileMe, Yahoo, Gmail, AOL, or any POP e-mail service), an integrated Wi-Fi iTunes music store, and a host of minor features like weather forecast, maps, calendar, stocks, notes, voice memos, contacts, clock and calculator. Provided you can become proficient with its touch-screen keyboard, the iPod Touch is more pocket PC than MP3 player.

Vertu Ascent

80 GB Sony Play Station-3

2009-08-12T02:59:00.000-07:00

Specifications:

Product Description: Sony PlayStation 3 -Game console.

Media Type: BD-ROM, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM.

Processor: Cell Broadband Engine

The Pros: It is build keeping the high-class design in mind with quiet operations; all games are displayed in high-definition; PSP-like, easy-to-use interface; plays Profile 2.0 high-definition Blu-ray movies in addition to up scaling standard DVDs; built-in Wi-Fi technology; 80GB hard disk drive; HDMI output with 1080p support; no external power supply; free online gaming service.

The Cons: Lacks full backward support for PS2 games; only comes with two USB ports; no infrared port means non-Bluetooth universal remotes aren't compatible; no memory reader or flash card; glossy black finish is a fingerprint magnet; online gaming, media, and commerce options not nearly as developed as X-box Live.

The Bottom Line: Even though Play Station - 2 backward compatibility has been dropped from this version, the 80GB Play Station - 3 is still a superb blu-ray player and high-definition gaming console complete package.

2009-08-11T06:42:00.000-07:00

Sony Vaio multimedia laptop gives a crystal clear and HD-ready 16.4” display. This latest laptop easily handles HD input/output via the standard Blu-ray player and HDMI port. It also features an Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 2.26GHz to go along with an ample 320GB HDD and 4GB RAM. Though a little heavy and short on battery life, the Sony Vaio FW 270j is reasonably priced for its capabilities and will meet most of your multimedia requirements with elegance.

Advantages:

Clear and bright HD display.
Runs smoothly and without interruption.
Blu-ray & HDMI.
Sleek and trendy design.

Disadvantages:

Speakers could have been better.
Repelling look of high pixel sticker in the front.
The rest of the logos and stickers are too repelling.
Matte lid is rough to the touch.

Exterior

Bodyline and ambiance: Sony brand is always puts a little importance on style and elegance, and also the Vaio FW-270j is no exception. The minimalist design features a sleek silver chassis. One stylistic choice that disagreed with us however was the lid. It’s black with a large silver VAIO logo in the middle, which is fine, but we can’t understand why Sony chose to abandon the sleek look by giving it a grainy matte finish which was uncomfortable to the touch.

Weight and size: For a 16” laptop the Fw-270j is actually fairly compact, measuring just 1.1” thick at the tip and 1.5” at the hinge. The weight is around 6.4 lbs, which is respectable for a laptop of that size.

Connectivity: The Vaio FW 270-j isn’t overloaded with ports, but it’ll do everything that most laptops do and thanks to an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) port, a few things most can’t. As for connectivity options, nothing like a WAN here but 802.11a/b/g/n and Bluetooth make connecting a gentle wind.

Nokia Gold Arte 8800

2009-08-10T04:44:00.000-07:00

Elegance and classiness are the perfectly suitable terms to illustrate Nokia Gold Arte 8800. This gadget is undoubtedly of much higher class than for the normal usage of phones like messaging, calling, capturing snaps, music, etc. This gadget is something in relation with gold and leather.

Nokia Gold Arte 8800 is a gold plated mobile phone, and not of rock solid gold. But, that is definitely alright as it shines like real gold and possess the benefits of gold artifacts that do not loose their sheen. Thus, the shining factor of Arte will last forever. The body of Nokia Gold Arte 8800 is as fine as the interior of a charter plane. The combination of crème leather, mahogany, carbon fiber, sapphire and 18 carat gold plated body definitely worth the price.

Look of Nokia Gold Arte 8800 – This latest gold machine is an alternative in the 8800 Arte family of classy mobile handsets from Nokia. This creation from the giant mobile manufacturer is like a slider phone to some extent. When the device is on slide, the display and navigational buttons reveals its numeric keypad of the phone.

Features of Nokia Gold Arte 8800 – After the class about the looks of Nokia Gold Arte 8800, let’s see the features in brief. The display screen of Nokia 8800 is of 2 inches with 16 million color OLED. It provides QVGA resolution. Other key features include 3.2 mega pixel camera with auto focus feature, 3G support, 4GB internal memory, enhanced battery life, etc. Arte also comes with desk stand and with a bluetooth headset.

Restrictions – Nothing is perfect in the universe and Nokia Gold Arte 8800 also comes with some limitations. The major drawback of Arte Nokia 8800 are small display with poor clarity under sunlight; no expandable memory card slot; only supports tri-band; camera performance could have been better; requires smart dialing, video calls, Java multi tasking and office document viewer; and lastly it is slightly heavy on pocket. The gold plated body is costing too much.

Sony Alpha DSLR-A200

2009-08-05T06:48:00.000-07:00

This new Sony Alpha A200 is a pop-up flash, rather than the old pull-up nature. This consumer digital camera can deploy the flash in auto modes when necessary. Like most other digital SLRs, the user deploys the flash with a button on the left side of the lens mount housing, by the Sony A200's big orange Alpha logo.

The Sony A200 is a somewhat minor revamp to the electronic giant's first digital SLR model, the A100, which itself was a more significant step up from the Konica Minolta 5D. The Sony Alpha A200 is smaller and lighter than the A100, and a good deal easier to handle.

Sony claims improvements to the Sony A200's AF system that will make focus acquisition 1.8 times faster, thanks to the high-torque AF motor and improved AF sequence borrowed from the A700, and our test results do indicate a significant improvement.

Sony's Alpha-mount lens system is the oldest SLR auto focus system in the business, going back 25 years, so there's a broad and growing selection of lenses to choose from.

The Sony A200's 10.2-megapixel sensor is the same resolution as its predecessor, but it's said to let more light reach each pixel for lower noise and more detail.

Shaped to better match the sensor's 3:2 aspect ratio, the Sony A200's 2.7-inch "Clear Photo" LCD has an anti-reflective coating for easy viewing in the sun, and 230,000 pixels.

A new LCD-based function menu replaces the old dial-based function menu on the A100, and many of the menu functions and systems from the Sony A700 have made their way into the Sony A200.

Sony Alpha A200 kit comes with a DT 18-70mm (3.9x) f/3.5-5.6 zoom lens in around $600.

Nokia Surge 6790 For AT&T

2009-08-04T06:07:00.000-07:00

Brief Product Review

Pros: The Nokia Surge comprises with a bunch of features - a full HTML browser along with Flash Lite support, 3G enabled, GPS - with reasonable price. The phone provides access to social networking sites also.

Cons: The phone has a number of design oddity and doesn't comprise of the best build quality as the nokia brand has. You can't dial numbers without opening the keyboard.

Nokia 6790 Surge for AT&T is a bit of a complication for the Finnish mobile phone manufacturer. One cannot assume it just by a glimpse of it, but this little master is actually a master piece just like the Nokia E and N series mobile phones. It runs on the Symbian S60 platform and includes Exchange support, a number of productivity tools, 3G and GPS support just like the robust handsets. However, the Surge isn't intended for the same audience of business and power users as the others; instead, it's geared to a young users, offering easy access to social networking sites and a spacious full QWERTY keyboard for easy messaging.

Features: Do not underestimate it with the size; the Nokia Surge is feature-packed and a full-fledged smart phone. Though OS is outdated compared others, but it can still get the job done with Microsoft Exchange synchronization as well as support for personal e-mail accounts. It has also Quick Office suite, PDF reader, and voice recorder. Nokia Surge comes preloaded with an app called JuiceCaster, which allows you to post messages, photos, videos and updates to existing social networking sites.

The camera of the phone is of standard class, including quality and resolution settings, different capture modes, white balance settings, self-timer, and many more. Picture quality, however, isn't that great. On the other hand, recorded video clips look decent with minimal blur.

The Nokia Surge offers AT&T's younger users an affordable, feature-rich smart phone

Samsung i8910 Omnia: Review

2009-08-03T04:59:00.000-07:00

Overview

As there are loads of superior quality cell phone are in the race to be the optimum then the question arises that gadget that gives the finest shot at glory is the high-definition one. Will the Samsung Omnia i8910 HD be robust enough to maintains its name or will it shatter down?

It is not the first time a cell phone has claimed this enticing acronym, but the Samsung Omnia HD targets there where it matter a lot that is video playback and recording.

Samsung were the first to reveal and release an HD-video-enabled cell phone. None of major manufacturers managed to launch a relevant one. So, all users grandly welcomed the Samsung to feel the difference.

Nevertheless, the Samsung Omnia HD comes geared up with overall everything that Samsung can offers. HD video playback and recording are definitely top-grade stuff but these are just the fancy extras with the rival on the battle ground. There's also a great 600 MHz processor, huge screen, and high level graphics chip. The all-in-one count continues with an 8 megapixel camera, GPS, Wi-Fi, generous 8/16 GB internal storage and DivX/XviD HD playback with subtitle support. Finally, the whole thing runs the latest Symbian S60 5th edition comprised with the new TouchWiz 3D interface.

Some Drawback:

Missing camera lens cover.
No flash.
HD video recording occasionally drops below 24fps.
Slow image gallery browsing.
Lack of smart dialing.
Samsung Mobile Navigator doesn't come with any maps or voice-guided navigation license.
Need of tweaking in Touch web browser zooming.
Paid office document editing ( no free version).
There are limited 3rd party software for it.

If overlooked these lack of technologies, the Omnia HD is full with all kinds of goodies and ready to throne as the king of high resolution cell phone.

Apple iPhone 3GS - 32GB - black (AT&T)

2009-07-21T04:14:00.001-07:00

Product In Brief:

The Pros: The iPhone 3GS finally adds common cell phone features like multimedia messaging, video recording, and voice dialing. It runs faster; its promised battery life is longer; and the multimedia quality continues to shine.

The Cons: The iPhone 3GS' call quality shows no improvements and the 3G signal reception remains imbalanced. We still don't get Flash Light, USB transfer, multitasking and storage.

The end result: The iPhone 3GS doesn't make the same giant leap that the iPhone 3G made from the first-generation set of model, but the latest Apple handset is still a compelling upgrade for some users. The iPhone 3GS is faster and we appreciate the new features and extended battery life, but call quality and 3G reception still
need to be improved.

Quick Sneak of Nokia N97

2009-02-16T03:07:00.000-08:00

blu-ray is still an alien thing for Xbox360

2009-02-14T05:05:00.000-08:00

No support for next-generation HD discs, like Blu-ray; early versions of the console prone to "red ring of death" system crash; online gaming require a paid subscription to Xbox Live.

Now that Blu-ray has become the pre-eminent high-definition standard for discs, the Xbox 360 has yet to support it, but it still remains an excellent game console with a superior game library and online experience.
