HTC Touch Diamond Review

Image
Introduction The HTC Touch was the first real competition the iPhone faced, even if it didn’t necessarily set out to be. HTC was surely trying to capitalize on the popularity of Apple’s all-touch device, but Windows Mobile is a more open though much clunkier UI than OS X, and ultimately the devices were really in a different class. Sure, TouchFLO gave a finger-friendly skin to the Touch, but in reality the iPhone was built from the ground-up as a consumer friendly, media-oriented device whereas the Touch was a Windows Mobile business device that happened to lose the keyboard and get some fancy software. Don’t get us wrong, we loved the Touch, but it just wasn’t iPhone material.Now comes the second generation, dubbed the Touch Diamond, and it’s obvious that HTC is ready to take on the iPhone properly this time around. Gone is the gimmicky TouchFLO, replaced by a completely overhauled and practical TouchFLO 3D. Web surfing is handled beautifully by Opera Mobile 9.5 instead of Mobile IE; ...

Windows Mobile on IPhone?

Image
I'm filing this in the “extremely dubious” drawer, but a Norwegian programmer is claiming to have created a system that “works like Bootcamp” to shoehorn Windows Mobile onto Apple’s iPhone. Erik Kristiansen’s software is in beta, with an open source software release planned for January, but if it turns out to be the real deal, it’ll let iPhone owners run Windows Mobile applications natively.

THE 5 REASONS OF NOKIA 5800 XpressMusic THAT BEATS APPLE iPhone

Image
Nokia’s unleashed its first touchscreen phone on the world, and we’re seriously impressed. We even think it has the power and flexibility to topple the iPhone. Why? Read on and find out. Beating the iPhone, as a phone The 5800 XpressMusic is a Nokia through and through. The company’s been making phones since 1964. That’s 44 years of experience, compared to just a few years for Apple, and it shows. The handset has all the phone features you’d expect and even beats the iPhone on some of its new talents. For a start it’ll hold a conference call with up to six participants, compared to the iPhone’s three. It’ll also receive MMS messages, while the iPhone refuses to accept them. As a straight forward phone, the Nokia 5800 wins hands down. Beating the iPhone as a media player OK, the iPhone’s iPod software is excellent. But there are still a few things missing. For a start there’s no support for stereo A2DP Bluetooth, it won’t play tracks unless they’re loaded using iTunes, and graphically, ...

Tags: Nokia , Symbian S60 , Shootout Every time Nokia Nseries numbering goes up a notch geeks are holding their breath. Well, geeks - including us - are no ordinary human beings, but in the case of Nokia N96 they'd been holding their breath since February. The time this multimedia monster picked to actually hit the shelves must have made quite a few people fear it being already outdated. Being a successor of the Nokia N95 8GB, Nokia N96 has some king-size spec sheet to top and it can't be accused of not trying. There's FP2, double the built-in storage and DVB-H. The bloodline is strong but the crown is heavy and ancestral sins will be held against the heir twofold. The modest battery capacity and the downgraded CPU do raise some questions that need their answers. Join us for an out-and-out review of Nokia's latest top-of-the-shelf offer. Let's see if it has got the performance to walk in them shoes size N95. Key features: 2.8" 16M-color TFT LCD display of QVGA ...

Wondering if this decent looking, feature rich phone is really good or worth buying or whats the price etc।,? Read on for answers! Sony Ericsson W980 in short: W980 is not just one more walkman phone from Sony Ericsson । This phone is one of very few phones that has 8GB of internal memory which means you can store at least 2000 songs without having to zip or compress! I will call it a complete walkman phone because of its audio quality, and its interface। Sony Ericsson W980 in bit more detail: This phone has many features that many phones does not have… this list includes 8 GB of internal memory, entire music player operations on the external display of the phone and FM transmitter! Its ‘Walkman on Top’ feature allows you to do all the music related operations without opening the phone, to my surprise I am able to edit the playlists without opening the phone. And the good thing about W980 is unlike many walkman model phones it comes with 3.2 mega pixel camera! One more thing that ...
