NOKIA LUMIA 610/710/800/900

NOKIA TAKES OVER WITH THE 

LUMIA COLLECTION

Although symbians' release wasn't one of nokias strongest times, nokia took a risk and bet on windows mobile software for their own brand. From my point of view, they couldn't have made a greater comeback! The windows mobile software is being improved form time to time, which makes it good for new users because the functionalities will always get better, and thats just what a smartphone is all about!

On the right side of the picture, you can see Nokia Lumia 800, which is the 'father' of the collection (apart from the bigger nokia lumia 900, which looks the same as 800, except it has a bigger screen with better resolution and a more lasting battery life). 

The Lumia 800 has the best camera and the most internal storage of the three (8 mp of camera and 16 gb of memory, respectively). Then both the lumia 710 and the 610 have 8 gb of internal storage and a 5 mp camera with flash led ( as well as the 800). 

I would say that the windows phone software is pretty easy to use, as well as a brilliant design, which makes it attractive to people. All three obviously have office features since they are windows phones, where you can see, edit and in some cases creat word,excel,powerpoint and pdf documents.

However, there are still some disadvantages, like not being able to expand the memory, which can be stessful for nokia lumia 710 and 610 users. The battery is average, which doesn't mean it's bad, but you shouldn't expect more than a day and a half of two, maximum.

Nokia Drive, Maps, Xbox live and the Marketplace are also good features that fit these smartphones like a glove. I trully recommend them (Nokia Lumia 800 in particular).

NEW BLACKBERRY COLLECTION

BLACKBERRY - NEW O.S. 

AND COLLECTION

We all know the truly great and well-known mobile brand - BLACKBERRY. Not only because of their elegant and sophisticated design, but also because of their capacities and office management skills. The picture above shows the new collection made by blackberry in order to substitute the previous mobile phones. They created similar phones to the previous ones, only this time, they made improvements, like the screen capacity, the cameras, the applications, the size and the functionalities in general. All these new mobiles have the new Blackberry OS (operative system). There is also a downside to all of this... Consequently form trying to make the mobie phones thinner and smaller the battery capacity had to be reduced, which is probably the only disadvantage to having a blackberry. I've had the chance to try them out and I have to say that the new software is quite satisfying and functional. Keep in mind that if you want to take full advantage of the blackberry's capacities it is almost necessary to have 3g internet.

RESIZABLE MOBILE PHONES

RESIZABLE MOBILE 

PHONES

In order to garantee business security and job maintainance, mobile brands have came up with a plan that, form my point of view, is brilliant and clever, because they give a wider range of choice for consumers, even economicly because the smaller phones obviously cost less. They have planned to make new phones, similar to the great sellers, only this time smaller, cheaper and with less funcionalities, just like what they did with the Samsung Star (Picture bellow: left- Samsung Star; right- Samsung Star mini). We can tell that they have done this for quite a while with the Samsung Star example.

Well, they didn't just do it before ! Recently there are several examples of resizable mobile phones (that I'll show you in the image bellow). Samsung has also done it with the Galaxy collection (picture bellow left side- Samsung Galaxy s2/II and Samsung Galaxy S2/II mini) and Sony Ericsson with their excelent gingerbread androids (picture bellow right side- Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro and Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro mini). All these phones are androids, only diferent androids and they all work perfectly. I would say thar Galxy S2/II is the best phone in the picture, although Xperia pro will certainly do the deed. Xperia pro mini might look like a small, but it is  quite the machine. It does everythig the original Xperia pro does, only the battery life is much weaker, as well as the samsung galaxy s2/II mini.

BEST CAMERA PHONES

BRILLIANT CAMERA

PHONES

Sony Ericsson Arc S - This phone contains the Android platform (in this case gingerbread). It has great features, as well as an 8,1 mp camera with flash led and bright colors. Its battery is pretty good and most people are satisfied.

Nokia 808 Pureview - This symbian would also be a good purchase if you're into realistic pictures, social networks and organisation. Its camera claims to have 41 mp, but I'm still not sure if it is true, I'll investigate more.

Nokia n8 - This symbian has a 12 mp camera, along with great office and social networking features. You'd certainly not regret buying it. This is one of the good symbian from my point of view.

MOBILE SOFTWARES

iOS - This software designed by Apple, is ideal for people who enjoy having all the functionalities of a mobile phone close by and easy to both use and reach. It is easy to have fun and work at the same time, which makes this software always a good choice. Having a mobile phone with the iOS software can lead you to not need any other phone for a long period of time, which can explain its sucess in the world - REOMMEND

Android - This mobile platform is also very complete, but comparing to the iOS it is probably harder to use, although it contains most of the funcionalities apple has. There are many tipes of Android sotwares which is great because it allows you to choose the one that suits you best - RECOMMEND

Windows Phone - Another great and useful software! Everything is easy to find and the design is beatiful and modern. However, there are still some downsides... Due to the fact that this software is rather recent, there aren't as many apps in the store as there are in iOS ans android... but still a great software and interface - RECOMMEND

Blackberry OS - We've all hear of the great blackberry mobiles, and it seems that from time to time they keep getting better. And they do! As well as the software ! In my opinion Blackberry's are mre for business and office usage, although internet and gaming are still great features of the mobiles. It isn't very to use, so not everyone can have one, but a person who understands about the matter or someone how's willin to lean will eventually get the hang of it - RECOMMEND

Symbian - Although the design is quite nice and it being pretty easy to use, the app store is lacking in good applications and omparing to nokias windows phones, in my opinion this is a step back... A good thing about nokia is that hey make many phones in a short period, so if a certain software doesn't sell, another idea will certainly do the deed. These phone have really good durability also and the cameras are usually very good. E-mail and networking are also easy to configure - IT DEPENDS

Bada - This software was developed by samsung, and, unfortunately I don't have many positive aspects to say about it, besides that all of the devices that contain this software have wi-fi , and some of them 3g internet. The design is quite nice and the cameras are too in some cases, but the app store isn't good ans samsung has done a lot better with the android devices they have made, in my opinion - DON'T RECOMMEND
