A similar design can be found in many inexpensive shells from Nokia. Most of the front panel is saturated blue box with a mirror at the bottom of Kant. Edges-silver bar. There are other solutions color: black with cherry paneling and the same browser and lite box. Exactly halfway top of the lens is the built-in camera and a metal with additional outside signature Nokia. Below is an external display.

The tube ends denied the controls.

At the top surface find a bright side rubber plugs, which covers the connector for headsets, cable and charger. Seals needed lift.

Here and now it is just a battery compartment lid. She gray. Deleted is not very easy, but not very difficult. The main thing is to see the instruction. It turns out that it was just completely go up. First, about this and not even think, so at the opening of phone goes insane amount of time and the unsuccessful attempts. And it turns out all easy.

Inside find icon on the main screen and keyboard silver on the bottom panel.

When open phone, initially think that angle inadequate, and want to move a little bit more top cover. But when shells attached to the head, you understand that there is no discomfort. The optimum angle. At least, for our "test" the head.

Keyboard. Navigator and its neighbors marked a different color than the numeric keys.
This is the only division, or more precisely, the allocation. So, the browser itself is a box with oval angles. Confirming hotkey-colored "wet asphalt." Rim, which are sending silver. Surface tactile wide, enough to serve pillow fingers. Several soft-key and number keys work with the merged challenge, but among them there is a low but appreciable finger. For color keys blended into browser button. The button is also a key curfew and lifting off phone. Digital keyboard. Buttons rectangular. Only extreme rounded bottom. Lower keys in each column IAMM average, but it won the edges. In the upper corners of the Five has two relief spots. Between buttons virtually no air, but when you click no feeling that after the one key move everyone else. And still the mechanism seems to be as popular told. Tactile surface too broad, as in the browser, to work comfortably even pillow fingers (even very large ones).

Both the white. And, it must be said, the column in the secondary illumination fortunate than extreme.

Sunday, October 28, 2007 - Fly B600

The main technical characteristics Fly 600

Rear side, in contrast to the face, which is made of solid plastic, is soft-touch coating, which has already found its weakness after two days of wearing in his pocket, along with the keys. Of course, not everyone will immediately drop their phone in the pocket, his hands zakidyvaya keys, coins and the like. But even if you have a couple of times organizing such a mobile neighborhood, and the result may disappoint you. So, continue. At the back of the upper middle placed the camera lens 3,2 megapikselnoy polosochkoy with barely visible on the left.

Navigator pyatipozitsionny, round. Rim sending and buttons work with the challenges highlighted another color-gray. Confirming the keys is neyarkuyu cyan light. More white button highlighted. Evenly and vividly. But just in the dark discovered technical defects. Eraser keyboard podognana not back to the body, and highlighted the right gap. Two top soft-knopki simply marked lines. The buttons work with the challenges are not characteristic green and red selection. But they have little to the touch vypukly and finger are just blind. Characters are varied minimally. So no confusion keys allow only their standard position: left-button response to the call, right-o'clock. The same keys off, and includes phone, deletes characters, returns to the previous item, cancels last action. The main keys are located in three series of four columns. That is usual for us to put a number of the lower right of individual columns. The first time, of course, unusually. This is wrong and the case, pressing instead 0 in room 8. But this is only the case habit. During the keys to the claims did not raise it yearnings, but every click excellent feel. Moreover, the buttons are small terrain that many times improves ergonomics keyboard. With respect to the other elements of governance, kachelka volume podatliva less than digital buttons. Maybe, and this is correct. In any case, excluded unauthorized editing and enhancing the volume. Key activate cells requires lengthy pressing. With the same reason. While annoying when needed quickly to film something.

Screen. Permits would be the place and time, perhaps a description of the screen would take much more than a few lines. This on the one hand. On the other hand, it could be said in a nutshell, nor does umaliv while its merits. He just big and qualitative. Pictures look excellent. No film, saturated colors and realistic. Space for the eyes. Looking not impinges on the side notches. Vault large number of rows. But with all this, there is a significant minus blagolepii: menu design, gray and faded, creates the opposite impression lacks color, want more light and brightness.

Technical characteristics of the display are as follows: up to 262,144 colors display, permission to 240 h320 pixels. At sun picture suffers a bit, but everything in sight. Convenient that when blocked the keyboard while pushing any buttons included backlight at full power, and, therefore, you can see the time and missed the event. To do so would not necessarily go off the block of keys that often has to do with other models, and just when you want to see that hour.

The size and weight. Dimensions show apparent disposition to a male audience. While we can not say that we are too cumbersome tubes for the women's hands.

Special discomfort during the test we did not have felt. Particularly encouraging was that with such an extent phone never weak in a bag or large deep pocket.

Incidentally, about the size: 110 h49h14, 3 mm, the weight is 110 grams. Quite impressive. Monoblock not very thick. In dzhinsovom rear pocket will be virtually unnoticeable, but better not show his mouth-pocket ottyanetsya immediately.

Sound. Poly in the phone rings at 64 votes. Not the highest quality, but not bad. At maximum volume Heard some jars, individual notes "pangas." The office supports MP3- format, and this difference. Vibrovyzov weak. For example, in the street when the tube is in the pocket of jackets, a call not only passes through a maximum volume. Vibrosignal not felt.

Battery. In this model provides for 3,7 V battery capacity of 940 mAh. The producer said 300 of hours in standby mode and the five-line conversation. We are at a very low intensity of negotiations (7 - 10 minutes a day without listening to the radio and almost without using other applications) batteries enough to 2,5 days, not more. This is where, incidentally, is a useful extra battery. The best choice is the daily charge. It will take less than 2 hours.

Sunday, September 9, 2007 - New Smartphones

Smartphones

There is a view that the power Communicator is the CPC with phone functions, and smart phones are phones with features CPC. This explanation is Primitive, but partly true. Appearance stop is not very different from the phones.

The first "smart phone" (smartphone-intellectual, intelligent phone) has become a model Ericsson R380s. Unlike bulky CPC, it was acceptable size (130 x 50 x 26 mm). Weight was also relatively small (169 grams). In appearance apparatus was similar to other models with Ericsson flipami (R320s). It is the main feature flipom concealed R380s touch-screen.

Manufacturers specially emphasized smart devices. Like the Nokia 9000 Communicator, Ericsson R380s called Smartphone.

Although modern standard apparatus could not be considered a complete smartphone. He was not allowed to install third-party applications, OS was closed.

Much closer smartphone concept was to model Nokia 7650. Many consider it the first "smart phone" on the market. The office worked on the Symbian OS, allows third-party applications to install. There were downsides. For example, a small amount of memory (4 MB), the lack of slots for memory cards.

Interestingly, the company has not allocated Nokia advanced devices. Stressing purely hardware features. This form factor (one of the first sliders), a camera, a large screen, support for MMS.

Subsequent smartphones Nokia make not as smart phones. Emphasis has been placed on other functions - design, turning a screen play opportunities to put anything. Nokia smart phones have quickly become popular. As revealed another contrast "smart phones" from the Communicators. Smartphones not progressed as intelligent devices. They are sold alongside conventional phones.

Another way the company has gone Sony Ericsson. Her model R800, R900 and others were too specific to conventional phones. These devices were among communicators and smartphones.

Besides Nokia and Sony Ericsson, Symbian- solutions were from other producers. Siemens, Sendo, Samsung.

You may recall Linux smartphones. For example, Motorola machines for the Chinese market, Haier N60 model.

On the way Windows Mobile Smartphone for the first Windows smartphones. A trial balloon was having in 2000 Avenger. While it is the first boy with the attendant consequences. In 2001 came Sendo Z100, in the next year-HTC Canary. In 2003, there were more than one stop on Windows Mobile. This HTC Tanager and Voyager, Red-E SC110, Samsung SCH-i600, Mio 8380, Motorola MPx200. Neubivaemy "motor" was the first officially supplied to the Russian market Mobile- Windows smartphone. Where and justified his nickname. Largely because of a solid body. Masters even raised its Windows Mobile 5.0.

Since 2004, development has become a nightmare WM- avalanche. As of Communicators, the leader was a company HTC. Her platform HTC Typhoon, Hurricane, Tornado and others distributed under numerous brand names.

Home, smart phones no longer perceived as just lots phones. Increased functionality put them on a par with Communicators. Many have claimed smartphones and communicators to the same type of devices.

This view was reinforced after the so-called line of multimedia computers N-series from Nokia. And also with the development of corporate QWERTY- stop (HTC S620, S650, Motorola Q, Samsung i320, i600, Nokia E61/E61i). These devices were heirs BlackBerry from the Canadian company RIM.

But not explicitly equate smartphones and communicators. This is different devices. They have a similar, and features.

Sunday, September 2, 2007 - Nokia N91 8 Gb

This model is updated smartphone Nokia N91. She, like the original, is addressed, first and foremost, fans. The reason is the built-in hard drive. Nokia N91 along with the Samsung i300 was the first such smartphone. Its renewal is the "vmestitelnym" to mass produce. Capacity built disk reflected even in the title.

But smartphone good not only that. It provides unreality sound quality. What makes N91 on a par with the music Walkman line of Sony Ericsson. Many of the soul and smartphone design, it almost y'all shell. However, because it weighs a lot. At this neck just will not be. Another drawback-old with a small screen resolution.

Encouraging standard 3.5 mm exit headphones. You can connect your favorite Koss or Sennheiser without zamorochek to carry. Of analogues can remember that of Motorola ROKR E2 (not dobravshiysya to Russia) and the "black pearl" Haier M600.

Update received a number of additional features. For example, support for the fans profile A2DP Bluetooth Roll.

Nokia N91-8 Gb excellent choice for fans. Especially for those who are not hostile to high-tech. But I need the phone 8 gigabytes of music?

Sunday, August 12, 2007 - Nokia 6290

Smartphone poraduet those users who are not on the customs fashionable trends in design. There were no hint of the RAZR and its clones. Quite big, it is comparable to conventional phones dimensions.

Design apparatus pleasant, not easy. Those distinguished Board to draw attention to other Nokia smartphones. Benefit from which to choose is. The only mistake to mark glossy surface of the shell.

For ergonomic model wins a thin rivals. Digital big keys are sufficient progress. Buttons on the front panel allows you to manage smartphone closed.

The main screen is very comfortable. Not the greatest for phone diagonally - perhaps the only point. Above the screen, by the way, is for the Chamber UMTS network. External screen, despite the small size, is essential. It enables a large number of functions without revealing apparatus. Apart from banal player management is reviewing a list of calls and other communications.

Lack of Wi-Fi model uncritically - Nokia 6290 is not a head. Other wireless communication on the spot.

PROGRAM begin, the main trump card smartphone, it makes. This is one of the first platform Symbian OS 9.2 (S60 Feature Pack 1).

Recruitment programs give diversity. Starting from the traditional QuickOffice and finishing tools for viewing weather, exchange rates, world time. Potential OS also broad. Note friendly browser, flash player.

Following the Nokia 6233, N73 and some other models, the Nokia 6290 is also equipped stereo. The quality of sound decent. Functionality player below purely musical decisions.

The smartphone has a 2-hmegapikselnoy camera. It is similar set of the other models, such as the Nokia 5500. Lack affects the quality of photos. The outbreak is a pleasant bonus. Note QVGA- film.

Time autonomous work smartphone-standard two days.

The main competitor is the image model smartphone Nokia N76. Alignment with Motorola V3 (who else?) Bring some and discourage others. Except for the design, the Nokia 6290 and N76 is almost identical. The choice remains with the user.

Alternative these two boxes are not. Windows Mobile- solutions platform HTC StarTrek obsolete. Awaiting replacement in the person of HTC S420 will be above class (based on the availability of GPS). So that the Nokia 6290 a good chance of success for advanced users.

Monday, July 30, 2007 - Sony Ericsson M600i

The model is the lowest among Fuel Company. In appearance, it does not say. Conservative angular hull is made of quality plastic. Blue stylus and the same color inserts lustrous white or black shell.

Dimensions of apparatus, except the width not exceed conventional telephone. QWERTY- keyboard to fit all 57 mm. With a little more modern tonkofona.

Despite the small size, keyboard-friendly. Keys are well dispersed among themselves. Each button two terms (for entering two characters). Digital buttons located in the middle of the keyboard.

At first glance, it seems that the controls not. That is not true. The function of the joystick is JogDial navigation wheel on the left side. Similarly wheel, but may push the scroll. Here is the return button. Videos play key role buttons on the screen. What is logical, given the sensory nature of the latter.

Most matrix with high resolution and color is another trump card machine. Using the convenience of increased threefold. Because you can use keyboard and screen handwritten input. This is in addition QWERTY- keyboard.

Sony Ericsson M600i deprived Wi-Fi and EDGE. No last-clear give often in the company of his support for updating products. Wi-Fi is, in order not to create competition flagship company, Sony Ericsson P990i.

Version platform machine - Symbian OS 9.1 (3.0 UIQ) is relatively new and improved functions (fast access to the task manager, for example). Negative for it in comparison with other platforms smaller. While most pre enough opportunities for.

As a working tool made, M600i can communicate some software. This QuickOffice with editing Office documents, PDF + to understand what utility to write notes to any of the numerous ways (handwritten input, QWERTY- screen or keyboard) and a number of other, less demand applications like RSS feeds. One could make pre browser Opera. Many will only hasten to Opera Mini is cheaper and more convenient. Musical ability smartphone is far from ideal. For Sony Ericsson W950i is ideal. Although functionally good player, supports a variety of formats.

The camera is missing. This can be partly explained by "corporate" focus smartphone. Although, it seems, fashion is at non camera machines. In the E-series of Nokia dedicated to the office staff, the latest models without cameras do not stay.

At an average load smartphone serves two days. If you restrict access to system calls, you can count on day three. Anyone wanting more intensive use smartphone should expect less time.

Model Sony Ericsson M600i is not popular. QWERTY- smartphones-specific product, not having a record of sale. But in its class is a very interesting decision. Especially given the inevitable decline in the prices of him in connection with the renewal line stop Sony Ericsson.

Competition M600i, in the first instance, a model Nokia E61 and E61i. They have some strengths. In particular, support for Wi-Fi, metal construction, a familiar platform S60. Less-large dimensions (excluding the thickness), weight and lack of sensory display.

Those who are not on the two customs administration expects a nursing QWERTY- stop on Windows Mobile. This Samsung i320 and i600, HTC S620/S650, variations Motorola Q, etc. Plain legendary, but the popularity of Windows Mobile is much lower Symbian. Private users will treat those models freakly.

Friday, July 6, 2007 - Nokia N73

The model is old, came back in 2006. Interestingly, no one is N73 is not the market leader. However, it has a great balance of features. This allows smartphone and now to be the best phone in class, meeting the maximum number of user requests.

Design Nokia N73 calm, dullish. This unusually. Often the head and close to the model Nokia curious design.
The relatively small size and large screen is not the best impact on the keyboard. She too low, occupying less than a third of the front.

Poor ergonomics swimming apparatus of the screen. A diagonal of 2.4 inches, he is one of the largest among screens. QVGA- Display is not a maximum of Nokia smartphone. But high color, brightness and contrast provide comfortable work.

Above the screen is eye of the camera for videoconferencing. Hence, provided work in UMTS networks. Soon it will be important for Russia.

There are infrared and Bluetooth. Wi-Fi is not is the prerogative of the senior models of N-and E-series.

Program smartphone platform built on Symbian OS 9.1. If you do not have enough rich possibilities preloaded software come to the aid of third party programs.

Speaking of sound, is to provide a stereo. They immediately rushed to the eye, as are upper and lower give apparatus. This design was used in the model Alcatel OT-S853. The quality of sound good. But again not to bad leaders, such as Nokia N91.

The camera system allows images to a resolution of 2048 pixels picture. There outbreak. Big plus model - a convenient protective walls, not give hump, like a Sony Ericsson K790/K800. It prevents lens from dust, scratches and dirty key owners.

Quality is comparable with photos from the other 3.2-zone camera. Again, smartphone is not the maximum. Suffice 5mpx N95, or N93 and the same N93i equipped with optical zoom and a powerful processor.

Time alone work with an average load (20 minutes talking, 15-20 minutes surfing the Internet, sending more than one SMS, multiple camera images and short listening) is not more than two days. Harnessing the photo or audio smartphone poor battery in a single day.

As a result, Nokia N73 has shown itself as a quality, balanced solution. Again, it is not the best on a single indicator. But every performance is close to its maximum.

The main competitor models among smartfonov- monoblocs-Sony Ericsson W950i. His distinguished 4 gigabytes of memory, luxurious touch screen, a more interesting design, audio flagship Walkman line. Potential buyers may deter several factors. This lack of cameras, a large width, less choice for Symbian platform UIO.

Windows Mobile- monoblocs by now on the market, and junior smartphones Nokia difficult as competitors model N73. This budget decisions that have no obvious advantage to it.

There is also a music-machine version of the Nokia N73 Music Edition. The difference from the original: increased supply, slightly revised software, added launch button and the player smartphone in imposing black. Perhaps someone apparatus like this version better.
