SmartPhone vs NoteBook ? Yes, believe it happens !

These days, i could see healthy competition between SmartPhone giants Apple, BlackBerry, Nokia, LG, Samsung. In parallel, it brings down the NoteBook(Laptop) market down. Yes, it happens. I came across few articles CEO change in Nokia, Laptop's and Netbook's with 3G Modem, etc. Apple and Blackberry were the top among leads in the SmartPhone Market. After Apple iPhone 4, BlackBerry Torch and Nokia N8 were the new arrival that are equally qualified on hardware and functionality. Laptop markets were already in saturation but its feared by Laptop makers that still the market could go down in near future.

The purpose to own each gadget change at each time. Most of the people who have laptops, have SmartPhones too. But price of smartphone is more or less equal to Laptops. Also Smartphones comes with HD experience like in Studio configured laptops. So, definitely its a threat to Laptop markets. Though with laptop we could attribute special magic like programming, Development,etc

Apple even breaks the storage issues with its Airport device. So, Point of buying a Laptop is more less except one. Programming is the part that can never have replacement for Laptops. Smartphones may be in future, comes with Terminal support can help Developers to work directly in their smartphones. I have not much to say about this situation. Its not too far for Smartphones to acquire Notebook markets. So, hope picture above could claim more about this situation. May be it reflects a wrestling between Smartphones and Laptops. Need your comments for my first complete Adobe PhotoShop Work. Have a good day.

A Day with iPhone 3GS !

After my story "A Journey into Apple !", a friend of mine approached me to unlock his new iPhone 3GS. So, with his permission, i took his iPhone a day and Unlocked it for him. A day long i looked into the phone and enjoyed every feature on it. Digital Compass is the most admire-able thing i found with this phone. "MagiTact", an electronic magnetometer that traces the earths magnetic field and shows the exact direction in the phone. Google Maps application with GPS and Magnetometer guides a perfect way into streets. In Google Maps, there shows a mark that exactly match the top side direction of the iPhone.

App store is the next beautiful thing with the iPhone. After Signing-In with Apple ID, there are lot of applications available with App Store. Applications with App Store were unimaginable. Lot of motion games available with iPhone, each and everyone were really amazing.

More than an review, i loved it. After i had the phone in my hand, it just made me very eager to buy my own. To be frank, more than BlackBerry Storm 2 9550, My Nokia E71, I prefer more to get an iPhone. Well this is older verions, Now i prefer more to buy iPhone 4.

Then discussing the iPhone unlock, its a quiet easy steps. Visit my Wordpress blog to know more about Unlocking iPhone 3GS. Find below the photograph of iPhone 3GS being unlocked. Jailbreakme is a small application that's used to Unlock any iPhone iOS. Its a cool thing. I experienced similar installation procedure with Ubuntu Linux through APT url.

Cydia is the application, that gets install after Unlocking the iPhone. It acts just like an Apple App Store. Using this Application, we can download may other applications, games to customize iPhone to your like. Already there rising an news that SmartPhone market brings the Notebooks markets down. I am damn sure iPhone, if comes with lesser price, it will bring down the NoteBook market down. I am very much excited to have iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4 in my hand soon. Hope you have too.

A Day with BlackBerry Storm 2 (BlackBerry 9550) !

Of course, I had a situation to troubleshoot a problem with BlackBerry Storm 2. I was hired by my friend, to look after few problems in his new phone. The same job as before to migrate from his old phone to his New BlackBerry Device. I just took his BB for a day and tested its features at the most. I learnt from Wikipedia, that BlackBerry name is derived from a fruit, as the BlackBerry QWERTY Keyboard looks like tiny seed of Strawberry fruit and as it mostly resembles Blackberry fruit. The real sign and style of BlackBerry is its QWERTY Keyboard and its CandyBar Layout. I really couldn't believe first, its a BlackBerry until i recognize the Logo at the top portion.

The phone seems to have good weight and equally quantitative in its features. Stylish design with Good form factor but looks bulk than iPhone. The thing i enjoyed with iPhone is its soft touch experience and even in BB Storm 2 i like touch experience that comes with the different technology called "SurePress".

The Device has multiple switches (i mean keys) behind the display and surprisingly it works only when the device is turned on. So Let me introduce this technology, you have to choose the spot on the screen, then we need to make second press on the same spot to get you desired app ON, Like in digital cameras, like how we wait for the camera to make Auto focus for the first press and capture for second press. I really to feared i would break the display, but its just a short press.

4-Keys below screen, Valid shortcuts for front screen, Multi-Touch makes it very comfortable to use. All other features resembles other BlackBerry Devices. The screen resolution 480x360 shows Mobile HD vision to its high capability. Music Play back is very good. Considering memory, On-board memory holds 256MB for Application and 2GB for Data memory and externally can hold upto 16GB and unofficially said that i can hold upto 32GB. This BB Device supports MP4 codec and WMV, I really enjoyed watching movie with this phone. Features like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth shows its highest capability.

3.2Mega Pixel camera with its CMOS sensor shows good quality on the picture. But with its Digital Zoom, while in Zoom, it looses its clarity.

A-GPS, with BlackBerry Maps and navigator let me find my destination through shortest destination. BlackBerry Maps handles on navigation to few cities and comes Google Maps to the rescue. I with BB Device simultaneously worked with my Nokia E71 and 5800 Xpress Music. BB Storm 2 and My E71 have comparably good Wi-Fi connectivity than 5800 Xpress Music.

BlackBerry device as its business compatibility covers a wide range frequency that includes GSM, UMTS, CDMA connections. Quad Band GSM with GPRS & EDGE, Single Band UMTS with HSPA and Dual Band CDMA with EV-DO technologies makes this BlackBerry device business operative.

The things that lag in this phone are:

• No Front Camera, So think of Video Call !?
• No Popular app has been released for its compatibility (Fring especially)
• Bulk design

In India BSNL is the only subscriber to provide 3G facility for now, even they don't provide BlackBerry service for this phone. So BlackBerry Storm 2 (BB 9550) users in India has to wait to enjoy the whole new features of this BlackBerry Device. Let us wait for Airtel, Vodafone, Aircel, Idea, Uninor, etc subscribers to open their 3G service. Also CDMA service providers Tata Indicom and Reliance already support BlackBerry services, made their word that they didn't have their support compatibility for this BB Storm 2 Device. So, CDMA part of this device is partly useless in Indian Version BB Device. May be it might help out during International Roaming.

Hope this is all the features i know and came to know about BB Storm 2, Write me comments if needed any assistance in Cracking CrackBerry, sorry BlackBerry.

I own Nokia E71 !

So after long time, eDoDe is back with his new gadget. Yep, i got Nokia E71 after a long analysis on its specifications. I still couldn't believe this phone bundles with features and specs listed in Nokia Products page. But Nokia haven't failed me. My Sony Ericsson W850i is fully dead and i was hoping to buy a new phone in the same brand like Xperia or W995. In the mean time, i had a chance to work with BlackBerry Smartphones Bold and Storm 2. while i was searching for specs regarding BlackBerry phones, I got into some similar pages of Nokia and had a chance to look into specs of Nokia E71. Not comparably but similarly Nokia E71 have features of BlackBerry Smartphones. Of course Nokia E71 is a smartphone too. I was too much enjoyed seeing lot of specs for lesser price. So i decided finally and got this Smart-phone. Actually this is my second Nokia Smartphone after Nokia 5800 Xpress music. Nokia 5800 is my first touch screen phone and it has too got bugs initially and then after Nokia Software Upgrade the phone seem to be good.

Speaking about Nokia E71, I felt a Pentium-4 computer in my hand. A heavy process may take time but still i finish the work in my handheld device thats my point. E-Series stand for Enhanced Connectivity. I tried almost all features of this phone from Push Email service to Video Call. I tried Video Call using Fring Messenger through Wi-Fi with my friend in Singapore and he uses Nokia 5800 Xpress music and get connected to me in the similar way i did. We almost spoke for 45minutes with good Audio and Video stream. I felt my battery was hot so i disconnected the call, otherwise the call should have last for another one hour. This is the great feature i was astonished with the phone. Though its a third party software, the hardware has to adopt for its capability rite !?

Regarding specs SmartPhone with 3.5G Mobile connectivity, Candy-Bar Style, Bluetooth with EDR, IR, USB, A-GPS, Wi-Fi. The mobile factory finish is very stylish with its stainless steel. I bought Grey silver with look very shiny and glitters. QWERTY Keyboard is the great feature, I enjoyed with BlackBerry and now with Nokia. Theses are all hardware stuffs and here comes some software stuff. I can find some similarity with my computer Operating systems. I feel Symbian S60 can be comparable to Linux OS especially Ubuntu, on account of its software packages. Easy to fetch and install applications. OVI Store comes as an replacement to "Download" option of traditional Nokia Phones. OVI Store as explained in my previous post, Its like an App Store for Apple products.

Adcanced Call Manager, Multiscanner, BarCode Reader are the softwares, i see and work for the first time. OVI Store has lot of softwares and we can download it for free. I also came to know that Smartphones have Torrent downloader Software, third party developed software. I am searching for the better one.

Regarding appearance, I felt E71 looks very slim and sexy than E63 and E72. When i opened backside cover, I was surprised to see a huge battery with 3.7V and 1500mA output. Battery weighs more than the circuit and I seem to gain weight when its in my hand but It fix easily to my pocket.

Regarding security, the phone have lot of security locks. Lock for Phone, Memory card, Internal and External memory encryption. Remote Lock is my most lovable lock, using that i can lock my phone, just sending a code through SMS to my phone from anyother phone.

Music Player and Video Playback sounds good. Regarding camera, it has lot of options, I mean modes of capturing Picture or Video do have lot of choice. It has been a problem in Nokia phones that memory card can be removed only removing the battery but In my SmartPhone, it has a slot outside. Audio jack is the most annoying thing, since its 2.5mm jack. Difficult to find this Audio jack, in case if i lose it. Also i cannot connect to anyother audio device like audio jack in Xpress Music and SE Walkman Series phones.

So, I thought i could give a start to Business phones, so this is what i bought and suits me well for my blog. I blog and moderate comments using my Nokia SmartPhone. I eventually forgot my Laptop after i start using my phone. I strongly recommend SmartPhone users that too starters, better activate Data Plan of the Subscriber or use internet through Home Wi-Fi. Also i and my friend tried to connect internet to Phone through PC Internet with Ad-Hoc, and IP, Gateway allocation, Still we couldn't find a way for that. But somehow, If i find it, I'l let you know through my blog.

I found some problem of "Certificate Error" while installing old softwares on my SmartPhone and I rectified it by changing the date of phone to one year back, Then i could install software easily. Most softwares wouldn't allow to install if there is any issue on mobile phone compatibility. Also don't try to force the installation, It would result in Memory Card crash. Within a week of time, I tried all the features including VOIP and I really like this phone.

Hope this phone set a new business opportunity for me. Write comments on my review and Let me know if you need help in assisting Nokia E71 Smartphone problems.

I own Nokia 5800 Xpress Music !

Here's my New Gadget that's a Smart Phone with Touch Screen, Wi-Fi, A-GPS, 8Giga's of Music, Bluetooth, 3G, Accelerometer and more fun inside... I bought this Smart Phone with a great deal from COMEX 2009. To Get start with this Phone, Let me start with the feature i like the most in it. Nokia Maps with A-GPS (Assisted GPS) is the feature i like the most in this phone. This is the first GPS device i handle. I helps lot in my travel. I can choose the destination and Nokia Maps shows me the shortest path from the place i stand. Map downloading from Nokia Site consumes more bytes thorugh GSM Network. But with the Wi-Fi feature, I downloaded the Maps from My Home Internet and I can move out without consuming my GPRS Bytes.

Coming to other features, It runs with Symbian OS S60. This is the First Touch Screen of Nokia equipped with S60 OS, Code Named - "Tube". Camera is the important feature of Hand Phone nowadays. This Phone is equipped with Two Camera's one at the Front for Video Calls and Other at the Back Side for making Digital Photo. Unlike other phones, any of the two cameras can be switched for both Picture Capture and Video Calls.

FaceBook and Youtube are the othe flash enabled apps that helps to post and View links and Videos within the phone. The Flash plugin for the Mobile Browser supports HD Video and Full Screen view as in our PC's. Then coming to screen orientation, the 3.2 inch 16:9 wide-screen shifts itself to the position of the phone. To be short, It Adjusts itself to our convenient position. Like motion gaming in Sony Ericsson phones, This Smart Phone has the same gaming features and Games.

Direction maping, Latitude, Longitude parameter are the other features of this phone.
To explain this phone in Short Descrition -
"We will never be lost with this phone".
Am i rite?

Smart Phones likely to take DigiCam Configurations..!

Hi Friends,
Its was time that it was hard to take Pictures outdoors and Difficult to carry Cameras from One place to another. Then Cam the Handy Cameras with Films. After CMOS technology has been introduced Handy Cameras has become to Pocket cameras with a size that fits the Hand. Simultaneously Cameras phones also came to Market with low quality Cameras like VGA, etc. The Smart Phones plays the role nowadays. The Configuration of Camera in an actual smart phone is around 5MegaPixels. The Advancement in CMOS technology brought DigiCams with size lesser than that of Pocket Cameras with upto 10 to 20 MegaPixels. Adding to that Smart Phones with 8MegaPixels has been introduced now. The Name of the Smart Phone is "Samsung i8510 INNOV8". The configuration of this Smart Phone resembles Iphone but 8MegaPixels really sounds good. It also got some interesting features.
