Nokia 6500 classic

by mphone @ 2007-11-04 - 20:19:31



The base color is black apparatus. It is in this version of it will appear in Russia in July-August 2007 year. Subsequently, it podtyanetsya bronze and other colors (likely to be somewhat). Plus everything will be supplied to individual accessory battery lid, as it is flat and takes up most of the surface craft, it is convenient kastomizirovat - razrisovyvat, do engraving, etc. Per this will be to buy a few kryshechek razrisovat and their different life experiences. Replace the cover, and before you another phone. Here are just lid was very difficult: it is forcibly pulled her plastic surface slippery, no latches or not, have to put on under the cover fingernail or as Push be at the center, says that over the finger surface. At the beginning, it is almost impossible to open the phone, times of the Tenth still takes its experience. Foresee how nevzlyubyat prodavtsy-konsultanty this model, especially if the buyer after another demonstration of the phone will be broken with a lid that predictably, it is not metal and plastic normal.

Phone unusually thin for Nokia-ever, we have not seen such an elegant solution from the Finns. Even Nokia 6300 compared with 6500 classic-ungainly Cauwenbergh. Judge for yourselves: the thickness of first - 13.1 mm, the second-only 9.5 mm. But the compact is not new - it seems really thin and not particularly broad, but its length is beyond the scope of the mean value (almost 110 mm). Yes, and weight (94 grams) not be called small. Unlike the Nokia 6300, which cover is made of metal, the plastic novelties it. The design is such that the cover is not only seizes the rear, but the front part, so it seems that all of the phone is made of plastic. In reality, frame tubes made of anodised aluminum, but as neither Take tube in the arm, still natykaeshsya on plastic. Moreover, the metal painted in the color of the cover, which further creates the illusion of plastic.

Despite the fact that the apparatus of rectangular shape, nowhere direct angles you will not find is that they are all smooth as possible. It is especially noticeable when one looks at the tube top. This increases the ergonomics-phone kept in the hands of pleasure. But after the widely used plastic soft-tach corpus 6500 classic feel slippery. But no fingerprints on the phone, it is left with no need mopping or otherwise care for them. The body is very practical, excellent build quality-nothing skripit not lyuftit.

Like the Nokia 6300, calculated on the new business class. But we think colors 6300 more suited for business people, it's a combination of a solid black and silver, "open" metal. Nokia 6500 classic uniform in all changed, it is "deshevit." Besides not be hindered "to bare" metal that black colors smotrelos option would be the most impressive. In Nokia 6500 classic, we found only one more or less interesting design move: as a part of the faceplate is divided into two equal parts, both are surrounded the perimeter of a rectangular silver box. The upper halves - screen, the bottom-keyboard. A little silver psevdometallicheskie revive looks pasted on buttons and navigation keys, but they are visible only on a black background, on the bronze they lost. And in general, we think black will enjoy the greatest demand.

Keyboard phone handy, criticism of it we do not. All of the buttons (except "navigatsionki") are made of transparent plastic, pleasant to the touch. Hits clear, with excellent perceived benefit. What's interesting: from the digital buttons nazhimayutsya those places where bear the symbols, that is, to have these numbers and not on the speakers silver caps, these elements made only for the recognition tactile buttons. Since soft-knopkami keys, and "Taps" / "Admission" no problems. Visually last two buttons and keys "2" are merged into one button, the convenience of this design element does not affect well-buttons nazhimayutsya separately. "Navigatsionka" and inscribed it in the "OK" excellent, clear.

Very upset us unless additional side buttons: without them biznes-apparat not perceived, and the surface looked "lysoy", the effect is enhanced so that the connector in one apparatus and headphones, and chargers, and cables. As a result, because there is no end "primochek Nokia 6500 classic machine looks like a middle class, the effect reinforces plastic, which is made from the battery lid. Even habitual no-anywhere switch this function has assumed the "Place a tube." Incidentally, this is a trend in many recent models (Nokia 8600 Luna, Nokia 6500 slide, etc.). A pity-breakers have always been branded Nokia stroke. Some manufacturers, such as Samsung, the model U600 contrast, the use of separate knopochki for on / off, but somehow increasingly Nokia revises its tradition.
In phone connector used only one-and chargers, and cables and headphones. And he did not miniUSB and microUSB format. Only Nokia became a move to universal format miniUSB as pereskochila immediately to a new and quite yet malopopulyarny microUSB. Such haste could not alert, if miniUSB cable can be purchased at any computer store rubles per 100, it is still in microUSB fancy. Well that is, in the cable bundle. As we see it, Nokia is excited to transfer to microUSB - miniUSB had not yet exhausted all its possibilities, it will be popular a few years. Of course, a leaner and more modern microUSB will sooner or later become popular, the same he used a catch, reducing the risk of "vyvalivaniya" of the connector plug, but the standard has only just at the beginning of my journey. With regard to cell phones, few models of individual producers (such as Samsung and Motorola) connector fitted with such a format, and for the unconditional leadership miniUSB.

It must be said that the device supports the Mass Storage mode, that is, with the wire connecting to a PC entire gigabyte phone contents is defined as an external PC drive. Loading and unloading music photos not take a long time-tube supports high-speed standard USB 2.0

To use Bluetooth wireless connections, it supports including wireless connectivity stereonaushnikov (for a list of all supported profiles: A2DP, AVRCP, DUN, FTP, GAP, GAVDP, GOEP, HFP, HSP, OPP, SAP, SDAP, SDP, SPP). In infrared apparatus not, but he would not biznes-trubke prevented.


 
 

Samsung SGH-D900

by mphone @ 2007-11-04 - 20:10:31



Dimensions compared with the predecessor Samsung SGH-D900, little has changed - 103.2 x49, 3x10, 9 mm against 103.5x51x12.9 mm. At a couple of millimeters in width and thickness decreased. But significantly reworked design: phone gave light wave shape and the characteristic rounded lines. Even more charm attached mirror design front panel, but it rubs frightening, and at the hands of the opening / closing slider, and on the cheek during a conversation. This is perhaps the most weakness in the phone-it has to be constantly mopping.

The basic color of the shell (in our version, it is) something in between black and dark, in the terminology of the producer - "sapfirovo-siny." Also promise to be granatovo-krasnogo options, colors and color platinovo-metallicheskogo ace of hearts of gold (see photo). The body is made of plastic, a simple, without anything, but the quality of the assembly at the height: avtodovodki mechanism does its work qualitatively, fixing bar at the extreme positions clear, not lyuftit battery lid. To replace the SIM card needs to be moved up the cover and then get the battery. Simka zadvigaetsya itself easily to your slot. Thanks to a thin shell (11 mm), the tube can be anywhere without any inconvenience, even obtyagivayuschih jeans.
Digital keyboard made of a thin metal plate with horizontal separators. Such borrowing down for Samsung (recall that for the first time such a scheme has used Motorola RAZR line, and then the idea of sterilization and other producers). Moreover, the keyboard seemed to us so comfortable that the negatives of plagiarism razveyalsya quickly.

Navigation unit is located on the upper half and slider consists of the round "navigatsionki" inscribed with the keys and confirmation located around soft-knopok and sensory reception and the sort keys. And yet poprobuesh these buttons, it seems that they are the most conventional, mechanical. Convenience sensory keys everyone must identify itself: Some used to it quickly, but someone does, and can not use them. We rather liked the button - situations with the "failure" was almost not. But sometimes accidentally zadevaesh button lobby is disappointing, though, in most cases, the horror does not happen: for example, if in recruitment would not kazus SMS, the phone are asked to confirm the lifting of care.

Navigational buttons in the usual Samsung, mechanical, it claims there is. Incidentally, the soft-knopok and buttons priema-otboya different sensors - last react only to touch fingers and soft-knopki light work of pushing any object.

During the call button and sensory "navigatsionka" blocked before pressing the central button to prevent accidental actuation buttons against contact with a person. In other cases, blocking / unlock are carried out using the buttons to switch off the phone, located on the upper end.
The Chamber has permission to 3.2 Mp and equipped avtofokusom. Filming activated retention side keys, with the sliders must be in a position opened, as well as a module for fixed camera hidden part of the phone. Button chamber has two provisions in polunazhatii happening focus, with full-clicked survey. On small distances LED outbreak helps, but in total darkness further meter it is not "beat".

On camera is the best quality among samsungov test at the time of writing (May 2007). For actual resolve it loses market leader, and yet motor and high resolution images allow them to send print format of 10 x15 cm-quite satisfied with the result priveredlivogo user.

MP3- player has received a full music library-sorting tracks for artist, genre, album reviews, or often display last AVI files. Supported background, EQ (classical, jazz, rock), the regime 3D- sound (program, the dynamics in a phone). An interesting feature is an opportunity to connect at once-two wireless stereo-garnitur.
Of note interesting applications: Advanced Search is on the menu at the same time, files, message addressees, events calendar, games, the telephone book, the journal of calls. Photo-imposition of filters and effects, can be found around 50 different roles, including the setting of brightness, contrast, color hue, Auto, adding another image, frame or text, rotate and mirror image. Overlay images separately pronounced effect mixing of two images, in contrast to the photo editor, is low practical value.

Nokia N95

by mphone @ 2007-09-08 - 00:00:01



My friend's site

Design, construction

In a chamber office with a glass Carl Zeiss optics, which in the past was used in the tubes Nokia, for example, the N93 and N93i. Plus indisputable that the camera is a protective walls for the lens, which, incidentally, in the previous model was. On the basis of N95 camera close to the maximum ordinary camera: to start shooting Slider open optional key lowering" located on the right end of the device, that is, when shooting, it will be on top, just under the index finger. There are two key points: when you light it is focus, with full-image. To go online survey is the central key video joystick, and to manage his side keys.

Major features of the Nokia N95 camera:

* Optics: Carl Zeiss
* Matrix: CMOS; 5 megapixel (2592 x 1944 pixels)
* Focus: 10 cm
* 8-fold digital zoom
* Duration of work: 60 minutes of video recording with a fully charged battery

Next to the lens is LED flash, which, in theory, to cover the facility up to 1.5 meters. Such outbreaks are mainly used in mobile phones with camera, it also equipped with camera and past patterns of Nokia (N93, N93i). In principle, as compared to N93 in that respect nothing has changed - outbreak weak, the real range is not a meter, that is, of course, very little. Is the treatment effect of the suppression of "red eye".

Opinions

On the possibility Chamber N95 heavily than one in the 93rd model. Marked increase in the number of camera settings: an opportunity not only to set the white balance on the type of coverage, and the ISO sensitivity (high, medium, low) and sharpness; There also adjust the contrast, brightness, multiple color effects, and various regimes survey.

Owner smartphone to use not only the automatic mode shooting, but the user (with the possibility of setting regimes white balance, exposure and flash in its sole discretion), the regime for shooting at close range (10 centimeters), portrait, landscape, night, night portrait, the new option "sport" to make images of moving objects.

Results

As a result, Nokia N95 camera in one of the parameters clearly better any "telephone" cameras, but others certainly worse. It is not clear why the older models had to abandon optical Zuma and move to digital, which hardly anyone would enjoy, as resulting from his use of imagery or which simply do not fit. Detail and color compared to previous models, of course, has improved, but still low.

Resulting images we compared the results of a survey of available cameras Olympus (S5060), and, of course, images of "normal" cells can not be compared with photographs of N95. So far say that the smartphone with 5mpx camera cells can replace digital camera. In addition to the preparation for shooting "telephone" Chamber seriously losing even non mirror cameras and camera you risk missing a host of interesting frames. If kept in a cell smartphone has included, the battery can be fully discharged for just an hour, and with the active survey-even for half an hour.

Nokia N90

by mphone @ 2007-09-07 - 23:48:11



Design Nokia N90, indeed, uncustomary. This is a massive (173 g) bed, the dimensions of which are 112 mm size h51. External display capable of displaying up to 65,000 colors in solving 128 4096. On the main screen, it is 2.1 inches diagonally, and a h416-352 pixels. Given the fact that an active matrix display capable of displaying up to 262,000 colors, the image on the screen get really bright and clean.

In a rather unusual position at the left end boxes are a haven slot charger and a USB connector cable to connect to your PC. It is noteworthy that the charger for N90 in fact standard, but connected to a telephone exclusively through cross, which is a complete supply: diameter of the connector half normal. At right end-slot for the memory card, hidden plastic plugs, slightly above joystick, which is made specifically for the camera, but it can be used and working with me. Above them - key "list": in normal, it is designed to work with voice commands, as revitalized cell-to start shooting.

It did not mention the coaching keys located in the upper corners of the screen: it is also designed specifically for the camera. The camera lens placed in a separate mobile unit attached to the upper end of camp with a joint providing turn angle to 315 degrees around the axis. At the same block has been a haven button on / off phone, which traditionally switch audio profiles. It is also worth noting that the N90 and folding panel can also rotate on the joint in the transverse plane at the angle of up to 120 degrees. Turn the cover 180 degrees, as in the Nokia 6260. This phone was designed back, behind the battery: retrieve the battery without makeshit funds (Manicure scissors, paper clip, etc.) in the tested model was not under the force of more than ten people are healthy.

User Nokia N90 is 27 megabytes of embedded memory dynamic distributed between the telephone book, text and multimedia messages, ring tone call, video clips, etc. Moreover, supports memory cards RS- MMS (MMS- card reduced size). Particularly noteworthy that the built-in N90 MMC card reader works with a voltage of 1.8 volts, so it requires card supporting this strain.

In Nokia N90 implemented universal XHTML/HTML- browser technology WAP 2.0 supports HTML 4.01 and JavaScript 1.5. Phone can transmit data through EGPRS, class B. Connect your phone to a PC is via Bluetooth or through a USB cable. Push-to-Talk implemented feature and the ability to simultaneous voice and packet data networks WCDMA 2100 (a packet switching maximum speed transmission / reception-128/384 kbit / s mode switching channels - 64 kbit / s), but Most Russian people did not have access. I regret to note the absence vibrozvonka much needed for many users.

Lithium ion batteries BL-5B installed in the Nokia N90 has a capacity of 760 mAh, and, according to the manufacturer, is able to work in the talk before 3:00, and idle up to 12 days. Say immediately that the extensive use of camera batteries barely enough for one day. Related requirement of phone shows and frequent data transfer through Bluetooth. However, in a mixed mode, talk / expectations batteries have an average of two days.

LG KG245

External display OLED- camp has 65,000 shades. A total 96 х64 pixel. But the picture is clear, colourful and well distinguishable. True, the sun bright lights miniature display through plastic coating "glass" probivalos little, and I have to disclose phone. But I am convinced that the main display at the bright sun behaves well and is not slepnet (in the sense-not as much as might have been expected, still there is no mirror substrate).

At the right edge phone is not anything but plugs sockets for connecting external antenna. The upper frame is empty, there is only loop connecting the halves phone. The bottom edge visible connector cap system, which connects charger (and add perhaps cable sync-it was not my disposal, so I Duzgun phone to the PC through Bluetooth). A plastic cap on silicon thin loop. For the convenience of opening on the top edge of the cover is vpadinka nail ... Nothing normal structure, but could be a loop and pokrepche.

But the left edge of the shell (lower half) is replete with buttons, and other things. In the top-loop for cervical strap. Given that the small-size machine h46 decrease of 89, 9 mm, a weight of 1981

Below exposed lid round slot to connect the headset. 2.5-mm connector minidzhek, so you can find the headset without a problem. But with Bluetooth headsets KG245 working on "Hooray" (verified by Jabra headset). As for Roll, it is not needed, the phone only 8 megabytes of memory and no expansion cards. This is not music phone, but to appoint as a ring tone can be a challenge to the MP3 file without problems.

Next-button control volume, dvuplechy flat tab comfortable size. And below is the shutter button down "cell", which is itself applet "Camera". Be it, generally speaking, convenient, but not as camera to the horizontal orientation of the screen in a survey. True, and the size of the "space camp" than "fototelefonov."

The back panel and battery compartment lid made of plastic, painted in silver. Cover fitted bottom, through which the press should cover lock. Sam Button while not fastened on the lid, and under apparatus. And the cover must not delay themselves, and pan bottom. This is not just my mouth, so I write that the battery compartment was called too hard ... Well, that is not written. Normally it opens. All OK.

The capacity of 830 mAh battery, being in the talk / standby at 3.5 and 300 hours, respectively. My phone is the fifth day and the requests have not yet been charged.

Camera

In a phone CMOS sensor VGA resolution. Very little plant permit, the degree of compression ( "a"), including flares, color effects, a series of surveys, installation of brightness (white balance not). But while the sensor works remarkably accurate and qualitatively. Here it is an example of a simple camera with a minimum of settings. There is no simple, but the chamber KG245 not useless toy ...

Video camera is not removed. And of the other multimedia supplements have the ability to play MP3 files, 64-tons polyphonic and the ability to receive and send MMS.

Pantech PG-8000

by mphone @ 2007-09-07 - 23:00:23



As such, the model PG-8000, Pantech so that the company delayed its release? The first and most basic is a new display with a resolution of QVGA (320 х240 points), "thanks" which was delayed production apparatus. Increasing screen resolution, the company did not really fully on the new processor for the machine, and for this reason with him brake image. The problem in the company Pantech decided not by installing a new CPU, and optimization software. This approach reduced the cost of developing the system and not to increase the ultimate cost of the device.
PG-8000
Review photo possibility mobile phone Pantech PG-8000 phone is not small dimensions: 99.8 x 51.8 x 16.1 mm, with mass 106.5 d. If in your pocket trousers he placed freely, it has to be in the pocket of his jacket is not worth weight not one. The office is unusual, it is implemented in form factor "monoblock", but governments are arranged in such a way that work with him to horizontal mode, ie it must be kept sideways. But during a telephone conversation held, as usual tube, ie upright. Issued two color version of the shell: full silver and silver with a black (front panel). The second option looks more interesting. If we talk about the appearance of the machine, it can be safely said that the original model and immediately attracted attention. If you are an innovative personality and love unusual things, the machine will just love you.

Now for the government. As mentioned earlier, with machinery required to work in a horizontal mode. At the front is the display below four function keys, the right of the screen located two round buttons and lobby answer the call, navigation keys situated with a "Ok" button, and below-block digital keyboard. All keys are optimal and easy to work. A small inconvenience for those who are accustomed to work with telephone sets left hand: PG-8000 to manage with one hand, you will not be able even to gain room to hold the phone two hands, not to mention the recruiting message. But those who work with the phones right hand, it would be easier, but would have little Suite. Lights keyboard white, evenly distributed over the entire surface, so that all the characters are well read.

On the side of Staff are the key management. Right-button activation chamber, the left-double the volume control button and keyboard lock button (Hold).

The model has a screen resolution of 320 х240 points and can display up to 262,000 colors. The quality of images displayed high brightness and contrast of the display above average. An obvious advantage is that the information is displayed in landscape mode, the screen is placed more on the horizontal. It is particularly well when viewing Web pages using the browser Opera Mini.

Review photo possibility mobile phone Pantech PG-8000 will now go directly to the embedded camera. The model is fitted CMOS- camera in 2 Mp, lens located at the rear of the device at a certain elevation, is similar to the design of digital cameras. This admission is not new, it has been long enough, many manufacturers are using mobile phones. The camera lens PG-8000 is almost protected, so to accept that after some time there will be rubbing and scratches. Next to the lens is a small LED flash and mirror for the portrait. The outbreak is not very powerful, and with insufficient coverage virtually nothing.

As a viewfinder display device, called clicking on the menu function key, it is presented in a table visible in the center of the screen. As descent can be allocated and the key to end apparatus or "OK" button, as well as one of the function keys. During shooting at the top of the display service line with pictograms showing your camera at the time. During the shooting deviation navigation keys up / down activate zoom, a right / left-to adjust brightness.

Camera Pantech PG-8000 can make images with resolution UXGA, SXGA, XGA, VGA and QVGA. It is possible to make high-quality, medium or low. Flash can be either enabled or disabled. You can put white balance: auto, daylight, cloudy, bulb, the light bulb day.

Nokia N93 / N93i

by mphone @ 2007-09-07 - 13:50:45



Campaign for N93 was one of the most memorable and beauty in 2006. In terms of advertising, it resembled move Nokia 8800. But unlike the latter, Nokia N93 is not a response to the mass buyer. The reason is not very balanced treatment inside and filled appearance, dimensions. All this is complemented by high cost.

Photo1

Nokia 8800 Buyers pay big money for an image. N93 has only technology in the ring shell. "Although filmed in the DVD as" h480 640 pixels at 30 frames / s now offers most tsifromylnits. Kamkorderu with integrated phone from Nokia lacked glamorous. Maybe so Finns updated its flagship. True, this is not a curious Nokia N93 Golf Edition, the best player in golf assistant.

Photo2

Saving stuffing original model Nokia N93i more image. There fancy mirror surface, a metal keyboard. Slightly reduced dimensions smartphone. But the price was higher.

The main advantage of both versions are excellent 3.2-megapikselnaya camera with video quality and unusual form factor. It is 20-odd thousand, users decide.

Sales are now less expensive 3.2-zone camera SonyEricsson K790i/K800i (but no optical Zuma). VGA Video (more slowly due to weak processor) withdrew the Nokia 6233. Nokia N73 Smartphone software with the same N93/N93i, a 3.2-Mpixels cameras and cheap. Some patrons can simply wait for the Nokia N95.

Nokia N93/N93i owners can be assured of one. Attention will be riveted to it.
