Mobile Phone 3 On April - 29 - 2011ADD COMMENTS

There are 2 models of Nokia bearing the denomination Nokia 5800 and these are Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition. What you need to know is that they look very similar, they both have a touchscreen, but have been released almost 1 year apart. Let’s take a look at them.

1. Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

Available in 3 colors, since November 2008, it has a 3.2″ TFT resistive touchscreen in 16 million colors, which recognizes the owner’s handwriting and it rotates. This smartphone is called XpressMusic because it features: stereo speakers, a 3.5mm jack, stereo FM radio with RDS,  and it will play MP4, WMV, MP3, WAV, еAAC+, WMA and more.

Other features include: document viewer, music and video players, same cameras as the previous one and the same storage possibility as its “older brother” -16GB. Maybe the only missing feature is the Infrared port, but that should not be a big inconvenient. You can try and get yourself one from this page.

One of the reasons for which the tablets have been created was to make reading books easier. “How so?” you might ask. Because the size of some books made difficult for us to take them in trips. But instead, we get a tablet, like Samsung Galaxy Tab and then we download into it all the books we want, regardless of the number of pages they have. Not only this, but we can read newspapers and magazines as well on these tablets, without our bags becoming any more heavy and we might have some space left in the luggage too.

In order to be able to read those books, newspapers or magazines, we need to have them in an appropriate format and to also have installed an application which will show the contents the way they were meant. The ideal file format would be a PDF one and one of the applications that could be installed is Adobe Digital Editions.

The Adobe Digital Editions software is supposed to offer support for the PDF files, as well as for borrowing eBooks, like its page mentions. However, not always that the things go smoothly, just like for this guy and if you are in a similar situation, make sure you “borrowed” the eBook and that it is in a appropriate format.

If you have no idea about how to add content to your Samsung Galaxy Tab, using the Adobe Digital Edition, then look no further, because there is a video showing you how’s done. Just click here -actually the video is for Nook, but hopefully it will work with the Samsung Galaxy Tab as well.

What more excuses can you still bring for not reading (e)books? And did you know you can even find many for free? Here you have a tutorial for how and where to download eBooks for free, no matter what device you use for reading them.

Cases For Samsung Galaxy S

Mobile Phone 3 On April - 28 - 2011ADD COMMENTS

You probably read about this before, but there are many things that can be said about the cases designed for a specific device, even if we talk about a phone, a smartphone or a laptop. You can’t even come up with the excuse that you don’t need one or that it’s something else to spend your money on. Truthfully you should think about how much does the device cost you – the purchase plus the monthly bill for it- and how much does a case cost.

Also you should consider the fact that the case will only make the life of your so-much-wanted gear to last for longer. This means that your Samsung Galaxy S will be more protected from scratches, from dust, fingerprints or even from shocks, if it would  fall off your hand.

What is truly good about these cases is the fact that they add -more- personality to your Samsung Galaxy S and they come with or without a front cover as well. You can choose to get one, two or how many you want, if you plan on changing them often, but make sure you can still recognize your phone.

You can also choose to get a leather case, like the one right above, a silicone one, a hard one, a transparent or an opaque one. What should be noted is that the leather cases most of the times will allow you to take Samsung Galaxy S out of the case and use it like you normally would. There is no limit of the designs available or the colors you choose from.

Android 2.2 Update For Samsung Galaxy S I9000

Mobile Phone 3 On April - 27 - 2011ADD COMMENTS

You probably never thought about it, but it is a good thing that the mobile phones and especially the smartphones have an operating system already installed when you buy them, because if they didn’t they would not be able to function at all. After all, a machine with no operating system will always be just a machine. What is even better is the fact that thanks to the continuous research done by the engineers who designed OS in the first place, they tried to deliver a more appealing, safer and stable product.

What we all know is that the Samsung-i9000 (Galaxy S) smartphone functions with Android OS, from Google. And one of the expected updates was the Froyo version (2.2) and yes, this is not the latest edition, however with the latest edition you might encounter incompatibility problems. The Froyo operating system brings many improvements to the Android phones, as can be seen here, although this presentation is meant for other devices functioning with the Android operating system.

Specifically for Samsung Galaxy S, this is the page where the changes can be seen in the new operating system. This report says and it’s probably well known that the first countries to benefit from this update are the Nordic European ones. And of course, how can you update OS on a smartphone? Simple: by using the Kies program -a piece of software similar to iTunes, on your PC or laptop.

N97 Nokia Review

Mobile Phone 3 On April - 27 - 2011ADD COMMENTS

Since June 2009 we are able to purchase the Nokia N97 smartphone, side sliding to uncover a full QWERTY keyboard and having a minimalistic and futuristic feel about it, given by the color white, but it is available on black too having a more elegant feel. Even if you are not a big fan of the Nokia phones, maybe this one might change your mind, if you keep on reading.

One of the first things we are interested on a phone is the size of the screen and its type; for Nokia N97 the specs are: 3.5″ TFT resistive touchscreen, with 16million colors, an image that rotates – so that the QWERTY keyboard can be used.

The second feature many are asking about, especially when it comes to a smartphone, it’s the memory: the internal one has 32GB and we can buy an additional microSD card of 16GB. And of course you can transfer files across devices, but only as long as you don’t try to use the Infrared function, because Nokia N97 doesn’t have it.

Other features include: a secondary camera for making video phone calls, it works on 2G and 3G networks including the American version of  3G. This phone could not miss playback for videos and viewing more types of files, TV out, as well as FM transmitter, along with the FM radio.

The maximum time of battery charge is on stand-by at 430 hours in 2G network and at least 6 hours in the talking mode. For music playing the battery will stay charged about 40 hours.

Nokia 5000 Review

Mobile Phone 3 On April - 27 - 2011ADD COMMENTS

We can buy this phone since June 2008, it has a TFT 2 inch screen with 65,000 color and it can’t be named a smartphone; we are talking about the Nokia 5000 mobile phone, pictured below. The look of this phone is a rather manly one given by the design and by the colors: Perfect Purple, Cyber Green and Neon Blue. This will not stop the ladies who like colorful stuff and gadgets from buying it for themselves or they could just steal the one their boyfriends have.

The good points that this phone gets are the possibility of personalizing it – as if the colors don’t already make it stand out- by downloading screen-savers, wallpapers, ringtones and some music files. The camera is a 1.3MP one, with a pretty high resolution at 1280×1024 pixels.

Of course if your contract allows you to, you can navigate the Internet with Opera mini 4, listen to the FM radio or play some games in order to make the time pass faster. The Nokia 5000 features more types of messaging, including “Nokia Xpress Audio Messaging”. This is a method of instant messaging introduced by the Nokia company in 2005 and here is where you can read more about this feature.

On the downhill of this phone we can list the missing GPS function, no card slot, little ways of transferring data with other devices, no audio jack and of course no compatibility with the 3G networks. It will work however in the United States 2G network.

Review Samsung Galaxy S

Mobile Phone 3 On April - 27 - 20111 COMMENT

Samsung Galaxy S is a smartphone released in 2010 and in some countries the various carriers released a “own” version of the phone while trying to attract more customers. Gsmarena lists 17 such devices, but not all of them are working in the GSM network, but most of them will work in more networks – dual band. This wikipedia page is presenting the variants of the phone, by country. The various models of Samsung Galaxy S across different countries have advantages and disadvantages: some will not feature all of the characteristics the original one has and of course, they might not have some of the characteristics which the phone was released with in another country.

Just to make it clear, the original version or the base one is recognized by the code GT-I9000. The screen of this device is a Super AMOLED touchscreen one, 4” in size and being able to display 16 million colors. Other features include: Gorilla Glass display -supposed to be more difficult to scratch, swipe text input, rotating image and more. One of the best features the Samsung company added to this phone is the possibility of editing some documents, like on a laptop or PC.

At&t Samsung Galaxy

Mobile Phone 3 On April - 27 - 20111 COMMENT

Should you live in the United States, then you know what or who AT&T is; if you don’t then you need to find out that this is a mobile service company which operates in the United States and is one of the four big providers in the United States. And just like in any other country, getting a Samsung Galaxy from AT&T  means you can get a pretty good deal for the device and a pretty decent deal for the plan you want to get in order to use the gadget.

For  Samsung Galaxy S (Captivate) pictured above, you need to visit this page. Be warned that in order to get this smartphone for the best price from AT&T -which is $100, you need to get a minimum of 2 years contract, get a new phone number and a $15 per month data plan. Without a contract you will have to pay $450. The shipping you get it for free if you make the purchase on-line.

If you are curious about how much you would have to pay and what services are available for you when you decide to buy a Samsung Galaxy Tab from AT&T, then you better click this link. They offer 2 data plans of 250MB per month for $15 or 2GB of data per month for $25. If you decide to buy Samsung Galaxy Tab from the AT&T website, then you will have to pay for it $550. However, without a plan, straight from a provider might be more expensive than in other places.

Even if the prices seem very appealing, you better get informed if you have service in your area because it is well known that the service is not available in all the areas of the US. The second thing you need to know is how much the total bill per month will be, so you have to be sure it will not exceed your possibilities.
