Nokia E63 Mobile Review

It seems that Nokia is in tune with the budget-conscious mentality of the current age after the release of its latest E-series mobile phone: the E63. The E63 is best described as a slimmed-down version of the previous E71 you get the main meal here, without the extra trimmings.
Thats not to say the E63 isnt a tasty dish, and this QWERTY-based smartphone packs a hell of a lot of value into its relatively tiny frame. At a glance, you can see this phone has business written all over it, but look a little longer and you will see that leisure hasnt been left off the list.
The build quality is to the usual Nokia standard (high quality), and you have the choice of Ruby Red or Ultramarine Blue plastic covers. While the E71 utilised steel covers, the E63 sports solid matt plastic that will suit most users just fine. The soft rubber keypad is easy to use, and the dedicated programmable function keys and navigation pad make perusing this phone a pleasure.
Thats just the beginning of the potential benefits of this attractive E-series, so lets have a closer look at what the E63 has to offer.

Nokia E63 Features

Believe it or not, the E63 is actually slightly larger than the comparable E71 even though it has fewer features. However, it is still a compact and pocket-friendly phone, and its certainly not hard to carry around. You can play with it on the go without people thinking youre pulling out a laptop, and the QWERTY keypad will have people thinking it costs three times more than what you paid for it.
The screen does not disappoint with size or quality, and a side-by-side test shows it looks comparable to many iPods and other small devices you might use for portable video. With 16 million colours and a 2.36in TFT QVGA display, its really no surprise.
On the topic of multimedia, the E63 features a handy headphone jack at the top of the phone, so if you did want to play music on your way to work or catch up on an episode of your favourite TV show, its a no-hassles affair. Nokia's D-pad, music player and the addition of RealPlayer means multimedia playback comes naturally to this mobile.
That surprised us considering we thought the lower price tag would see this as a bare-bones business unit. You do miss out on a decent selection of games (ours had Solitaire), but as you no doubt know, there's always the option of downloading a application of your choice. This brings us to the main features of the phone:

Connectivity

The Nokia E63 features almost all the connectivity options you could want. That includes 2G, 3G, Bluetooth, USB and WiFi. The only exception is HSDPA, but for business applications, we think most users will barely notice. It will slow downloads for heavy mobile internet browsing (videos, streaming), and its an individual choice when deciding if this affects you. For many people, it should not be a major concern.
There was one other omission to the E63 package, which is an included USB cable to connect to your PC. Of course, you can buy these fairly cheaply and easily (you may even already have one), but this is fairly annoying since the majority of projected users will want to use the mobile in conjunction with their PC.

Web, Email and Messaging

Messaging and internet use is this mobiles strong point. The full keyboard-style pad makes messaging a breeze once you get accustomed to it, and you can take advantage of predictive text and spell checker capabilities.
The Nokia web browser works as well as ever on the wide screen, and there are all the supported formats you need to surf the web. This phone proves how far weve come with mobile email use, and practically any email application can be easily integrated into the phone, which includes full support for attachments (videos, JPEGs, etc).

Office and Organising

The E63s calendar and organiser functions do almost everything except complete the actual tasks for you. You can make multimedia memos using ActiveNotes, set events and meetings on the calendar, and once you get your hands on a USB cord, the whole lot can be synchronised with your PC.
Theres also a dedicated switch function that changes the mobile phones home screen between business and personal modes. It allows you to access many functions speedily, and once you get used to it, you will wonder how you managed without it.

Applications

A range of applications is included as standard on the E63, and others you can trial, download or purchase if you are so inclined. Two of the primary included apps are the Nokia Search tool and the Ovi file-sharing program. The Search tool lets you browse everything from the internet to your own memory card easily, which is handy once you start to build up files.
The Ovi application is included as part of the package for free for 12 months. It lets you access files on your PC from your phone even when your computer is turned off. Nokias Quickoffice is included as standard fare, so you can not only view Microsoft Office documents (Word, Excel), you can also edit them or create your own.
Some users may be interested in the Advanced Call Screening application. This allows you professional call screening abilities, and you can tailor the program to send automatic responses or to screen calls at various times. While it was included on the E71, you will eventually have to pay for the license for this one on the E63.
There are the usual alarm clock functions, a calculator, convertors and various others available too. Even a torch function is included to save you groping around in the dark.


Maps

One of the main exclusions on the E63 is a lack of in-built GPS. You can buy one as an accessory, but we would suggest looking at the E71 if this was a real concern for you. The Nokia maps application is still included, and while the lack of GPS does hinder the program, with a little perseverance, you can still plot routes, search addresses and view places of interest like petrol stations, public transport or shopping centres.
Its a personal decision, and remember you still have to pay an access fee to Nokia if you want voice navigation.

Camera Functions

The 2 megapixel camera is downgraded from the 3 megapixel unit found on the E71, but it still seems to work okay in the right conditions. Its not the best camera phone on the market, but were yet to see too many happy snappers that would swap a dedicated digital camera for their mobile phone yet anyway.
The E63 will satiate your desire for those unexpected quick snaps while out and about, and theres also a video camera that captures at 15fps in case video footage is necessary. No doubt the lesser camera is one area that helps save excessive costs.

Memory and Performance

Quick as you like, the Nokia E63 does not lag under normal operation. The battery provides brilliant longevity even under heavy use, and an included 1GB memory card will last most people a while. Of course, you can easily upgrade to 8GB with this hot-swappable unit.
Its good to know that the phone has its own data encryption methods that will lock any sensitive information in an electronic vault. You can even remotely lock or wipe the phone, so if you lose it, you can lock and erase information to deny prying eyes any details you have stored on your mobile.

Overall

As you can see, there is a lot crammed into this mobile phone for the price tag. For those inclined, 3 mobile is even offering it under a $29 cap plan at the time of writing you really are getting a lot for your money with the E63. Of course, the Nokia E71 offers a bit more for those that can stretch the budget, and if GPS and HSDPA are concerns for you, we would consider looking at this phone.
However, the E63 does not disappoint and we think many users will enjoy its easy-to-use nature over the many handy functions. When it comes to first-class mobiles on economy prices, the E63 shows mobile phones everywhere that its business time.

Panasonic HM-TA20 review

The fall of the Flip has taken the wind out of the pocket Internet camcorder genre. But if you just want a cheap shooter you can slip into your jacket or trousers and not worry too much about, this format is still a valid choice. The concept makes even more sense if you throw in a bit of resilience to the elements, because then you really can take the camcorder wherever you like. Sanyo was an early adopter with the Xacti VPC-WH1, and JVC followed suit with the PICSIO GC-WP10A. Since then, we’ve had Kodak’s PLAYSPORT Zx3 and Zx5. But the granddaddy of toughness is Panasonic, and its latest entry into the market is the HM-TA20.

The specifications of the TA20 aren’t that groundbreaking, however. It’s based around a 1/4.1in CMOS with a gross 5.33Mpixels, which is fairly par for the course for a pocket Internet camcorder. Video is recorded at Full HD, 720p, VGA or iFrame resolution, the latter being the quarter-Full HD (960 x 540) format aimed at Mac compatibility. However, all of these operate at 30 frames/sec. The TA20 doesn’t offer a 60 frames/sec option for smoother motion. Digital photography is also available, with VGA and 8Mpixel options, plus both standard aspect and widescreen 2Mpixel choices. Finally, you can use the TA20 as a digital voice recorder, with a range of format options on offer.

All the TA20’s functions are accessed via a 3in touch-sensitive LCD, which uses resistive technology and isn’t the most responsive we’ve come across. It still offers more menu space than Kodak’s Zx3 and Zx5, making it a little easier to operate. Unfortunately, though, the range of settings isn’t so extensive, with no direct control over exposure or microphone level, unlike the Kodak competition. You get a 4x zoom, but it’s only digital, so reduces resolution when used. There is a small selection of digital effects available, including black and white, sepia tone, and soft skin. You can also manually enable low light mode and the built-in LED video light.

Native Union Moshi Moshi 04i review

The 'Moshi Moshi 04i' is the big daddy of the 03i we reviewed at the beginning of April. Like the 03i it makes the same basic assumption: for all its merits, the iPhone isn't the best phone. Furthermore when speaking on the phone you aren't able to look at the screen without using the dodgy external speaker or rushing to get your headphones. So why not make an elegant receiver with better call quality and supply it with a base that doubles as a charge/sync dock? Yes, it actually makes a kooky kind of sense.

Consequently the 04i shares a number of similarities with the 03i. For a start both pair to your iPhone using Bluetooth and both receivers have volume up/down and a multi-function button with the same combination of controls:  answer (press once), reject (hold for 1.5 seconds), redial numbers (double press) or switch calls (hold in calls). Pressing both volume keys simultaneously mutes a call. To answer a call just pick up the Moshi, to make a call redial using the Moshi's MFB or dial on the iPhone and pick up the 04i receiver. There is even voice dialling: add voice tags to any contact on your handset then hold the multi-function button for 1.5 seconds and when you hear the beep speak the tag into the receiver. Clever.

 

From this point onwards, however, things couldn't be more different. For a start, while the concept and basic functionality remain the same the two products look nothing alike. Whereas the 03i is designed to be simple and full of curves, the 04i has numerous flat surfaces and rigid angles. The 04i also ditches the uniform look of the 03i to mix aluminium and plastic finishes, looking less like a discrete office accessory and more like a 1980s ghetto blaster. The 03i vanishes in the background, the 04i demands your attention.

There is good reason for this: the 04i's aforementioned party trick is that it also works as a Bluetooth speaker and conference call unit. Even better is the fact this functionality works through the handset independently of the base unit, making it portable. To ensure decent sound quality the 04i uses Bluetooth's A2DP profile , NXT engineered acoustics and 2x 2W speakers – the latter of which is inline with dedicated mini speaker docks like the Jawbone Jambox.

All of which sets the stage for the Moshi Moshi 04i to be a flexible, powerful and practical device. The trouble is it doesn't work out that way.

For all its bold ambition the 04i has problems, the most prominent of which is it has forgotten its primary purpose. The beauty of the Moshi Moshi 03i is that however ludicrous its idea sounds at first, on closer inspection it actually makes sense: the iPhone is a rubbish phone that is uncomfortable to hold and has iffy sound quality. The 03i is comfortable to hold and has excellent sound quality. Job done.

Nokia N5 Images Leaked

When Nokia revealed the N9, the N950, and more recently the Sea Ray, most of us started to think that the company will maintain focus on the high-end smartphone segment for a while. With low-end Symbian smartphones currently available in the market, it wouldn't have been wrong for someone to think that these phones will be the last lot of mid-range Symbian devices. Now, here is a handset which will mark the entry of the Symbian Anna platform into this particular market segment. This new handset will be known as the Nokia N5. Images of this new handset have now leaked, displaying the handset in all its glory.

There is still some confusion over the operating system of the handset. While the source claims that this handset could run on Symbian Anna, it looks strikingly similar to the MeeGo platform. The hardware aspect of the Nokia N5 points towards a decently priced handset. The display looks like a 3.2", and there's a neatly placed 5 MP camera on the back. Physical buttons are present on the front, which is a good addition on mid-range handsets. A volume rocker is placed on the right hand side of the handset, and the left side is left plain. The device is currently a prototype, so the actual announcement could be made in a few days. Hopefully, the device will be launched soon, unlike the Nokia N9 which will not be launched in India initially. Also, according to the source, an N6 and N7 are on the cards, which could possibly be revamped versions of the N5.

The images show the N5 posing green and black colours. The user interface has seen improvements as compared to the current Symbian S60 v5 seen on most low-end Symbian smartphones. This clearly shows that the company is not merely focused on preparing flagship handsets; emphasis is being given the low-end market as well.

Here are a few more leaked images of the N5:

Sony Ericsson txt makes it easy to be friendly

Sony Ericsson's quest for the world record of most phone launches in a year continues with the announcement of the teen friendly Sony Ericsson txt.

When we say teen friendly, we don't mean for loner teen who sits in the school library at lunch time, reading books, picking white-heads and engaging with nobody bar Pedro, the non-English speaking cleaner (how we miss old Pedro) - we mean the popular teens, ones with loads of pals and contacts.

That's because the Sony Ericsson txt is a feature phone meant for the social media crowd.

There's no 3G on board so to make best use of the social web features (a "friends" app that boasts both Facebook and Twitter connectivity) of the phone you'll have to use the built-in Wi-Fi, although there is GSM GPRS/EDGE 850, 900, 1800, 1900 - so it should be okay for the odd status update on the go.

It has a 3.2-megapixel camera with video recording, an email client and a YouTube app as well. There's also Bluetooth connectivity and an FM radio. It can handle up to 32GB microSD cards, on board memory is a paltry 100MB.

The screen is a 2.6-inch, scratch resistant, 240x320 display.

It's out in Q3 2011. No prices yet - but expect to see this phone sitting nicely with the other social friendly PAYG options

Our full review of the HTC ChaCha

Design and Keyboard

Billed as a Facebook phone, HTC’s messenger-style ChaCha sambas onto the scene with a blue Facebook button that’s ready to waltz you directly to the land of social networking. However, we’ve previously never found these messaging handsets to fit all that well with the Android OS, so has the ChaCha managed to spin us around?



Messaging phones usually aren’t that exciting to look at. We physically yawn every time we clap eyes on another Blackberry rip-off, and even RIM’s own devices tend to look a tad boring to us. However, the ChaCha really is a great-looking device. There are two main reasons for this. Firstly, HTC has given it a pretty unique shape where the phone actually curves outwards from around two thirds of the way down. It’s a bit like a more extreme version of the jutting jaw line found on the old HTC Hero. Secondly, the corners and edges of the handset are nicely rounded and this is echoed in other design elements such as the screen surround, leading to a very appealing 1960s Sci-Fi look.

At 114mm, the ChaCha is a smidgen shorter than most candy bar handsets, but naturally HTC has had to make it a fair bit wider to accommodate the full Qwerty keyboard. Nevertheless, it still feels comfortable to hold and is light too, at just 120g. HTC’s handset generally feel well-built and the ChaCha is no different, as the mix of hard plastic and metal used on its body feels very sturdy.

Dotted around the edge you get the usual controls including the power button / lock switch at the top and volume rocker switch on the left hand side. There are also the standard four Android touch buttons beneath the screen, just above two dedicated call handling buttons.

HTC may not make all that many phones with physical Qwerty keyboards, but its lack of experience certainly isn’t evident here. In fact, the ChaCha’s keyboard really is fantastic and one of the best we’ve used on a phone. The keys are nicely spaced and the layout is good too. The keys have more travel than you would expect and respond with a nice, firm click when pressed. This combined with the reasonably flat and wide design means that pretty rapid typing isn’t a problem at all. We also like that some of the buttons are set up as shortcuts. For example, holding down the ‘.’ Button fires up the camera, while doing the same with the ‘w’ key calls your voicemail number.


Below the keyboard on the right hand side there’s a dedicated button with the Facebook logo stamped on it. It looks a little bit odd perched out here on its own - almost like its addition was a bit of an afterthought. Nevertheless, Facebook is pretty tightly woven into the phone’s software. Pressing the button once from the home screen takes you directly to a screen where you can post an update on your wall. Holding the button down instead takes you to Google Places so you can check in at your current location. It’s also context-sensitive. For example, if you’re viewing a webpage or a video, pressing it lets you post that content to your wall.

Nokia N9 first hands-on

The N9 has arrived. Functional units of Nokia's long-awaited MeeGo smartphone have finally landed into our eager hands and we've got a gallery of images to provide you with below. What we can say from our first experience is that we're in the presence of a fantastically designed device with a gorgeous AMOLED screen and some highly responsive performance. Hold tight as we're updating our fuller impressions after the break, where you'll soon be treated to our first hands-on video with the Nokia N9.

Update: Hands-on video plus a live demonstration of the N9's ability to pair Bluetooth devices over NFC (very impressive!) can now be found after the break.



The N9 UI, as you'll have learned from the product announcement, is Nokia's Harmattan skin atop MeeGo 1.2, which is built around three core home views. The central one is your app organizer / launcher, to one side of which you have a notifications and activities section -- which will be populated by phone calls, calendar alerts, and social network updates -- and to the other you get a live app switcher. That trio is navigable in a carousel fashion, meaning that you can keep cycling through all three by flicking your finger in one direction. Double-tapping the screen wakes the phone up and then you can unlock it with a swipe in any direction. Similar swipes, starting from one edge of the screen and going to the other, allow you to exit apps into the home screen. What we can say about all these aspects of the interface is that they're done exceedingly well and make the somewhat aged OMAP3630 processor look terrific. Fluid animations are evident throughout, navigation is natural, and this marks a major advance over anything else Nokia has given us on the software front in terms of touch-based UI.

Physically, the N9 feels about as good as a device built out of plastic can do. Nokia's devoutly calling it polycarbonate in order to highlight that this isn't just any old plastic, it's a high-grade variety that inspires confidence in its durability while also having the sharp looks to keep aesthetes happy as well. The whole phone is essentially built into the external shell, which does mean the battery isn't user-replaceable and there's no microSD expandability, but at least you can hot-swap the MicroSIM (yes, Micro) card without needing to reboot the handset.

The Clear Black AMOLED display is truly a sight to behold, with stunning viewing angles, a curved Gorilla Glass front, and some pretty excellent (for AMOLED) performance out in the sunlight. We compared it side by side with a Super LCD-equipped Incredible S and the N9 more than held its own. The screen is easily one of this new phone's great strengths, though we'd argue the intuitive UI, responsiveness, and eye-catching industrial design are pretty high up on that list too. All in all, we're highly impressed by what Nokia has put together here, though the N9 does prompt us to ask why the company has opted against making MeeGo its long-term smartphone OS of choice. What we've seen today is a damn fine smartphone with some very neat ideas, one which certainly merits the title of being Nokia's flagship. Or it will do, when it launches later in the year. 

Nokia Aeon

Nokia is brewing a new concept mobile phone called the Nokia Aeon. The concept is the newest design features a touchscreen phone that covers the entire surface area of the mobile phone. So everything’s a touchscreen!
The concept of Aeon as it combines two touch panels that are incorporated in full-cell power pack. Electronic connectivity between the handset and created a built-in into the panel to be used separately. When combined, a single panel can be used to display and the other as the keypad. Because the buttons are virtual, Aeon can play them instantly between a numeric pad for dialing the phone number, the base text for messaging, or even media player controls.
There’s hope for cool ideas from Nokia will be the concept of this product, namely that the phone is a product of “wearable” – if the user can separate one from the display panel Aeon – and set it up like a watch or worn like a badge.
More than just a phone, Aeon might be a local wireless network to transmit data obtained from sensors such as monitoring equipment to show signs of health of the wearer’s mobile phone. Wuihh, day gini with existing technology in one tool can do whatever dikonvergensikan for all needs!

Nokia To Launch A WP7 QWERTY Phone?

Nokia announced its tie up with Microsoft to produce Windows Phone 7 handsets with Nokia's hardware a few months ago, and the first Nokia WP7 device is expected by the end of this year (Q4). While nobody has any clue as to what device it could be, assumptions are already being made as to what Nokia could offer. For the time being it seems like the first device would be a basic touchscreen slab; very typical of the WP7 platform.

The Windows Phone 7 platform has a couple of QWERTY phones, though not as much as you would find in Android. If latest reports are to be believed, Nokia could be preparing a Windows Phone handset with a similar form factor. This info comes from an event held by Nokia a couple of days ago, where a company representative disclosed the company's plans to snatch the business smartphone market, which is almost dominantly held by RIM's BlackBerry. Though the representative did not directly confirm a QWERTY WP7 device by Nokia, it is almost clear that Nokia could have it all planned.

2011 will be a very busy year for Nokia with a couple of flagships to be launched, not to mention the launch of the company's first WP7 handset. The company is holding a Nokia Connection event on June 21st, where the company will supposedly show off some new Symbian Anna handsets, and probably announce the WP7 phone that has been talked about for quite a long time now. 

NOKIA N-95 8GB IN U.S

Nokia N95 8GB Coming to U.S. Next Month ? Rumor or Reality.

A couple of months ago, Nokia started the worldwide rollout of an 8GB version of its N95 uber smartphone. Unfortunately, unlike the standard edition of the Nokia n95 isn't compatible with all the cellular-wireless bands—particularly in the UMTS/HSDPA 3G realm—that would make that handset especially useful to North American users.

Nokia N95 8G is an amazing mobile phone outfitted with a variety of advanced and developed features and functionalities. The article offers information about how easily the user can buy Nokia N95 8G from the online store and how they can cut down high soaring bills by teaming it up with a tariff plan.

According to the Internet rumor mill, this may soon change. Brighthand says, for instance, that Nokia is making accidental references to this device. And you can even pre-order the Nokia N95 8GB Black US NAM (North American) unlocked at the retailer, MobileCityOnline for $800. The expected arrival date is February 15, 2008. In addition to having considerably more internal memory, the Nokia N95 8GB also sports a slightly larger display, 2.8-inch at 240 x 320 pixels (QVGA), than its predecessor and better battery life.

To "celebrate" this smartphone's introduction, Nokia is pre-loading the N95 8GB with the movie 'Spider-Man 3' Europe and some Middle Eastern and African markets. As you can see from the picture taken from MobileCityOnline, the North American version may include the movie as well. Other than the features mentioned above, the Nokia N95 8GB is otherwise the same as the current model: HSDPA 3G, a 5-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, and A-GPS.

Australian Airline Plans to Rent Apple IPads on Flights

The iPad offer a lot in a relatively compact package. The device can be used to watch movies, read books and magazines, listen to music and play games.

That’s most likely for those who travel often might carry their beloved iPad with them on the plane.

That’s also why it makes perfect logic that one airline sees the iPad as an chance to make some additional revenue.

Jetstar, a low-cost Australian airline, and also a subsidiary of Qantas, performed a trial back June in which 30 iPads were experienced over a two week period on domestic flights over an hour in length.

Based on the success of that trial, the airline is ready to move forward with a full deployment of the program which will permit passengers to rent an iPad for AUD$10 a flight beginning in April.

The program’s scheduled launch will be dependent upon the airline finalizing license agreements with Apple.

The airline hopes to use the iPads on its A320s in Australia and Asia Pacific in addition to is whole domestic and international network.

Airlines have previously shown signs they are keen to embrace the iPad. Back in June of last year Malaysia Airlines began offering self-checkout kiosks powered by iPads and the airline’s own MHmobile app.

Other airlines have also started offering iPad apps include Oneworld which is an alliance of airlines including American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Iberia, Japan Airlines, LAN, Mexicana and a number of other carriers.

Motorola Wilder – Featured and Stylish touch phone

Motorola has expanded its portfolio of secure phones with touch screen model Motorola Wilder. This device is designed for those who need a big screen, but who can’t give up extreme lifestyle. The phone is equipped with a 2.8-inch resistive touch screen TFT performed and its chassis provides protection against dust and moisture. Notable is not only the ability of the phone is not “drown” in the rain, but also on the front of the screen is another 0.7-inch OLED Panel, which recalls the times domination phone and serves for folding display different events and communications, energy saving •main display.
