Cinema experience with Nokia X7

 

    Cinema experience with the Nokia X7. While I was trying to watch some trailers , guess where the puppies decided to sleep! After running around in the bed, of all spaces this is where they find a comfy spot to sleep on….

Tech talk: My first Impression with the Nokia X7

 

    The Nokia X7 definitely sets it apart from other Nokia handsets, because of the unique design, rugged but still classy at the same time. Pricewise, I can’t tell since I’m not yet sure if this has landed our ship already (figuratively speaking).

    The design looks bad ass, seems to be more fit for men rather than women (sort of looks like a robot/transformers), but if you’re a gamer and loves movies, then this is definitely the phone for you.

   Here’s a video of my impressions and a video sample from the X7. I wish you can see the video quality as it is really amazing for a smartphone. Now I know why it’s called the Entertainment smartphone, because it definitely is. As for gaming, it was slow since it only has 680 MHZ.

Proud2beGeek’s Nokia C3 review

 

   Hello readers, hope you’re all doing A- Okay. In one of my previous post, about me loving the Nokia C3, I still very much do. And luckily for the BF he was able to buy one ahead of me, mainly because he needs it for work. A Qwerty phone is indeed much easier in terms of texting and of course faster. Well, looks like I’ll be able to buy my pink C3 sometime next year, since holidays are coming up, gotta save up!

    Anyways, here’s BF’s review about the Nokia C3, hope you can all check it out and let me know what you think about it? Head on over to Proud2begeek

 

Till then!

Nokia Smart phones + Nokia 2010

 

    As you may know from yesterday’s post, I received a package from Nokia sort of a press kit for their mystery event.

   While the Iphone and Android came out, Nokia was busy with their sleeves coming up with new Smart phones, competing with Iphone and Android phones, so what’s new with Nokia smart phones you say? First of, I am not being paid, nor requested to blog in their benefit. Being a Nokia user for the longest time, or almost my whole life, Nokia did not fail me. And I am very much happy with what they came up for 2010.

  4 New Smart phones, N8, C6, C7 and E7

nokia-n8-official-1                                                                        N8                                       

                           * photo taken from gsm.arena.com

   I already posted a video about this a few months ago, I loved all the features that came with it, as what Anssi Vanjoki said, the N8 is a entertainment power house. It can run 25, yes 25 apps ALL at the same time, how great is that?

112851_c6c7                                                       C6                                C7

                                 *photo taken from techtree.com

  The c6 and c7 are effortlessly designed to connect people and proud to say free from dangerous substances like bfr, rfr. For c7, they used bio paint and for c6 recycled metals. The first to ever to have a impressive portfolio, such as that.

   And last but not the least

nokia_e7                                                                             E7

                        *photo taken from techie.com

      The e7 is for business people, described as THE Ultimate premium business device, enough said.

       The way Nokia mission of Nokia is, connecting people, and with the new released smart phones, it definitely connects people no matter where you are, or what you do. So, to sum it all up, as Nokia said; 3 words: Nokia is back! And they are back with these great phones. The N8 runs with a Symbian^3 OS, in my own description? POWER! Sooner or later, I’ll just have to save up for a N8 phone, or maybe someone like Santa will gift me this for Christmas, haha!

       The event was held at London and if you too are curious to find out about what happened to the event, then head on over at Nokia World, you need a fast internet connection though, my connection sucks since last night, but I was able to watch half of the event. Will continue watching it at at work (before I start working of course).

 

Till then!

Last few days with the E72 - sad

 

   Updates for the Nokia E72 review, I’ve been busy lately that I wasn’t able to make a review about the phone, it needs a sit down that’s why I prefer posting it on my off which is today. YEY!

    What can I say? I’ve fallen in love with the phone, more so because of the features and simplicity. The phone is called to be for Business people and prices here in the Phil ranges depending on the store you buy it.

    Here’s what I’ve recently found out about the E72:

  • I was a bit ticked when I thought I had to keep pressing the next song, but then there are 3 choices and you should choose the option recently added option then all your songs can be played.
  • Bluetooth (for calls) – I was able to call using the bluetooth and it works pretty fine, the person at the other end (the BF) said he can hear me fine and clear which is good. It’s pretty easy to use too for a first timer like me. I’m just not sure, if you buy the E72 here in the Philippines if it also comes with a free Bluetooth.
  • OVI STORE – can I say that this one is pure LOVE! You can download free ring tones, themes, games, and apps of course.  I’m really glad they have this. Was able to download a game similar to bejeweled and it keeps me busy when I’m waiting for the BF whenever we go out for dinner.
  • Talk theme – there are 3 themes for this phone (standby option) 1.Basic 2.Active –which I’m using and 3. Talking theme. My favorite part is when someone calls you, it will say the person’s name. Say for example, BF’s name in my phonebook is bebe martin, every time he calls it will say baby martin in a woman’s voice.
  • As for messaging, normally you just read messages right? for this specific phone you can also listen to it. But it’s funny since it’s got the UK accent. It’s not only the E series that has this feature, even the N series has this which I find pretty unique. 
  • Quick office – this is a good feature too! It works almost just like Microsoft office. You can choose from Document, Workbook or Presentation office. Almost works like a laptop already.

   I know the E72 has been out for quite sometime already, but if your planning to buy a phone if budget permits, this is a good option. Some sell this way overpriced, I saw a store selling it for P20,000. Where as the price is only around 16,000-18,000 pesos. The E72 is built for messaging and email with a full messaging keyboard. What’s great about it is the battery life! Did a stress test and I’m really impressed with the battery performance. 5/5

Here’s a complete run down of pictures:

09072010160 09072010150                                                                     Manuals

09072010151                                                                        Car kit

09072010153                                                 Blue tooth, cell phone holder

09072010155                                                                    Accessories

09072010156                                         Absolutely hate this kind of earphone!  

09072010158                                                                       USB

– very useful, you can charge your phone using this. Very easy to place in the bag without the extra weight.                

09072010157                                                                        Charger 

   So basically, these were everything that’s inside the box that they gave me. It’s as if a bought a new phone. The phone also came with a screen protector. I definitely love reviewing a Nokia phone. I’m looking forward for more reviews, but we’ll see. I’ve pretty much featured what I love about this phone, and it’s only a few more days left before the email, sigh. All good things has to end, specially with this kind of review. I hope they’ll have this for a contest, Date Sufferers, I’m one of you now. I will definitely miss this phone A LOT! Also, one of my officemates love this phone too, he says that this is the best phone for him. 

  I’m definitely sticking with a Nokia phone ^_^

My Verdict: 5/5 this is the best phone for me, if only my budget permits :(

Till then!

Nokia E72 review – camera testing

 

   Hello everyone! It’s a Monday and it’s a holiday here in the Philippines, though I still have to go to work but I don’t mind since I get paid for it.

    Here’s another post review about the Nokia E72, first off all I stand corrected when I said that the E72 doesn’t support the Skype app, it actually does and it works pretty fine, though I have to admit I prefer the Skype feature in the N900, as for the E72, I prefer using the Yahoo Messenger chat.

skype_e71_e72 

                  I tried taking pictures, here’s how it would look like:

29082010016                                            My Cat Tabby with flash low light

29082010017                                                Normal Indoor light, no flash 

30082010024                                  My Piccolo, no light with flash – not bad

28082010005                               The blue tooth, no flash, office indoor lights

  Mostly, I’ve done Indoor photos only will try to shoot outdoors by tomorrow. So far, the camera quality is really good. BF and I loves the camera quality definitely, as for me I’d hope there would be more artistic camera settings, like lighting and stuff. 

   As for the battery life, it lasts for 2 days max with texting, calling, browsing and taking photos, not bad. Battery life is the most important factor, but I’ll try to do some testing again with music player and see how long it will last me. I don’t want to mess with the phone that much since it is not mine, but gawd! I’d really love to have this phone so bad, haha. Now I’m sounding like I won’t be returning this noh? haha, of course I will! It’s just a part of me loving this phone so much and slowly getting attached to it. That’s the bad part of being a reviewer I guess, but then at least it makes you think of what product to buy, test out for quality, blah blah blah. So, that’s all for now, will try to see other things about the phone.

 

Till then!

Nokia E72 – Phone impressions and other features

 

  A relaxing Sunday to all! As promised, I will do my  best to make an in-depth review of a day to day basis with the Nokia E72. I had a chance to play with the phone today and before anything else, I have to admit, I love the phone so much, it suits my needs, love the style but the price as I saw in the mall does not love me that much. Hahahaha!

  First Impressions with the E72

  Physical design:

  •  Stunningly sleek and thin – the metal cover gives it a nice Ooomph to it! does not look tacky at all.
  • QWERTY layout is very nice, not really that small even if you have big fingers. The feel of the qwerty is very durable.
  • Doesn’t feel heavy at all.
  • Looks very professional but not complicated which is a MAJOR plus for me.

     Features / Basic specs:

  • Speakers are averagely good, not too loud or soft, just right.
  • It has a flashlight – very bright
  • 5MP LED with flash, front camera – YES front camera!
  • Panoramic view – will check further
  • 128MB RAM, 256MB phone, microSD up to 16GB
  • 3.5mm audio jack, microUSB
  • 2.36” screen, 320×240 pixels
  • 1500mAh battery

        OS:

  • Symbian OS v9.3 – on first hand it was really fairly easy to use, compared with the N900 which was confusing for me at first.

    Here’s how the main menu homepage looks like

download                                                                  Simplified!

You can switch to Personal use or Business use (the one with the arrow black and white thumbnail.) I think if email is one of the things that is important for you, this phone will suit you well. My contact says, she uses this phone for her emailing business, I get what she means now.

  Other features:

  Basically, here’s how facebook will look like *images were taken via internet

Nokia Messaging for Social Networks Beta now supports Nokia E63 E71 and E72-2                          If you prefer a full view HTML sorry, not in this phone :(

  My needs for a phone sure has changed, before I just wanted a basic phone with a good MP3 player, blue tooth and a decent camera. But now, i didn’t realize that I needed a phone to browse stuff online basically – ANYWHERE with a good wifi hot spot in malls or at work. And as a blogger, I need a good quality camera for my blog posts a decent 5MP sure is fine with me.

   Well anyway continuing with the phone features, here’s how the menu would look like

menu2-e72

I was also able to try the email, and it works fine, I couldn’t figure out the email set up as seen in the main menu, so I opted to just search it in the internet thumbnail and it worked. I just saved it as bookmark so it would be easy for me next time I check.

office This is the office menu, and my favorite here would be the Dictionary feature, just type in the word and you have a portable dictionary within your reach, very accessible if I may say.

  Chatting:

   I was hoping that this phone supports Skype like the N900 since most of my friends are on skype but then again at least it supports Yahoo Messenger, I had to download this via the OVI store which was pretty easy to install actually.

Nokia_E72_10-chat

  BF and I chatted with our phones last night and it was sure convenient to chat in my room, love WIFI!

   Other things I downloaded through OVI store is the SIM CITY app, it works fine, though I have to get how the game works first, but what’s important that it runs smoothly. Another thing which I tried was the youtube feature, I searched for my favorite song, which is the Bang Bang by Knaan and I’m impressed, loading was sure fast, music was loud enough but I noticed that you can’t watch videos with it. Hmm?

  For my social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Blogspot, email it works perfectly fine. I also tried if I can surf digg.com and was happy that it works with the E72. So it covers all my basic needs which is definitely great!

  I am enjoying the phone definitely and will try to see what else is new or interesting to feature with the E72.

Till then!

Nokia E72 – my 2nd phone review

 

  Happy Weekend my readers! How did the week end for you? Mine has been great! I was granted another phone review and this time, it’s a kind of phone that’s close to what I’ll be buying soon. Huge thanks to WOM/World Nokia, Paul and Katie. So here’s the happy girl who got her package yesterday at BF’s office.

27082010007    I planned to have my identity to be a secret but then again! haha! Hello eye bags! XD This was at Jollibee Alphaland where we had dinner. For some reason, I was more excited now than my first N900 review (I don’t know why).

27082010008                                   BF took a picture of me unpacking the package

27082010009      I was like OMG! A different box? I was expecting a torn, used up box like with the N900. I thought all reviewers/ bloggers get that kind of box since it’s just for trial.

27082010010                                      Swwwweeeeeet! looks like a brand new box

27082010013         Okay, when I saw this, why did I fall in love with this phone instantly?

Closer look of the phone itself:

27082010014

27082010015    Then I fell in love even more, it was so sleek, shiny and looks so professional ♥

Other surprises inside the box that I wasn’t expecting at all were these:

27082010018         It comes with a white pouch and white phone accessory. It also came with a 4GB Mini SD card with it, I didn’t have to use my sd card in my phone. I really felt pampered, giving me accessories like these and up to this point, I wonder why? They could just give me the same box like before. Because, I am loving the phone even more, why? look further how the phone looks like.

27082010019                                                                        Blue tooth 

  This is pretty okay, the feel when in your ear  is a bit wobbly. I tried listening to music with it and it’s very clear. I have yet to try calling someone with this device.

27082010016                                                   Other accessories in the box 

*the first clear photos were taken by BF with the Nokia N97 mini head on over to Proud2beGeek's blog here

More photos of the unit using my 5130 XpressMusic phone:

Image1234

Image1235         Very slim, but honestly I would’ve preferred the black over the white one. 

Image1236               Back part, the case is steel very shiny and easy to remove

Image1237

First few things I was able to try were taking pictures, it was rather slow but not bad since it  has a 5MP with LED, texting feature is different. I thought it was the same as with the N900 messaging feature but I didn’t mind. Third is music, the music player is far more better than the N900, but I still have to check out a few things about it. Fourth is surfing, well of course it’s only good for browsing, since my needs are mostly just browsing the net like Facebook, Twitter and email, the E72 serves well. You can’t chat though, unlike the N900, but it’s okay since I’m always in the office anyway. It’s just a matter of finding a good wifi spot and update your social networks.

I am still setting up the email, I can’t seem to browse it for now, would have to check the manual I guess or google it. I think this phone is good for when you need email on the go. And what’s good about a QWERTY phone? Texting is faster indeed. By the way, this phone has a flash light feature which is so bright, a good plus for me when I need to go to the bathroom at night, because light switch is too far. If you can notice the middle part (black button), it works as a sensor, which I find it weird, though you may need the sensor when taking pictures (zooming).

For a blogger this phone can be good for a phone and camera in 1 (more pictures coming up.)

So far for the calling feature BF’s end seems pretty clear, voice reduction maybe? Not so sure, will test it out more for 2 weeks. It seems that this phone, features and style fits my personality. Waaaaa! I don’t want to get too attached, I may be a DATE sufferer sooner or later, haha.

 

So that’s day 1! I will still test the email set up and post features for E72

Anyone owns this phone? how long  has it been with you? Care to share?

 

Till then!

Farewell N900

 

  The N900 in my perspective is rather quite too much for my needs, but it’s still a great phone eventually. Of course everything that is new is exciting at first but when you get hold of it for more than a month, you get used to it. As for me it has been with me for a short span of 2 weeks but it was an opportunity I didn’t want to miss. And today was the day of pick up from DHL. I had to take pictures before it leaves and I will miss it for sure. I love the touch feature, was a bit off with the music media settings, in love love love with the camera, loves the texting feature, which I wished all Nokia phones would be like that . Farewell N900, It was a bliss having you. For the other features that I wasn’t able to use, I’m pretty sure it was useful for other guys out there. The phone isn’t bad at all, it just needs some tweaks but from what I know, they’re phasing out the N900.

Image1174

Image1168                                                      One last look of the phone 

Image1167  When my friends saw me signing this and wrapping the box, they we’re sad too and said “goodbye N900, wave.” hehe.

  A huge thanks to WOM/Nokia for giving us the chance to try out their new Nokia phones even for a short time. I am hoping to have another shot of making a phone review again and this time with the N8, I fell in love with it. Nokia for me is the best phone out there. ^_^

Till then!

Meow..Meow..
