HTC Magician Pocket PC | Laptop

HTC Magician Pocket PCOne of the most watched pocket PC in the market today is HTC Magician, a product of High Tech Computer (HTC) Corporation. Its features is like magic. You got all your Windows Mobile application in one handy and light gadget.

Trendy in style, it suits the modern criteria for electronic fashion. It creates a formal impression. And that suggests that it also has an ‘extravagant’ price. Every gadget appearance says something about how much it cost. Yeah, that means the cute, slim and smooth-surfaced gadget costs a couple of bucks. But hey, it is quite really pocket-sized and you can already bring it anywhere anytime. I guess that’s quite a good thing especially for busy people who needs direct access to their assistant devices.

The device can be controlled by a Stylus pen (already included in the package). The pen actually slides from the case of the device. I think that’s great because unlike other touchscreen devices whose pens are detached from them, this one won’t let you worry where you last placed your Stylus.

This phone is also packed with a camera. Good thing, it does. Even if a lot of hard work has to be in action, happy moments should not also be missed. Well, for me, I love taking photos of places which I’ve gone through. These photos not only remind me of my personal memories but as well as for documentation purposes too.

The screen is as wide as to that of a Nokia E90 phone. Maybe a little less in dimensions compared to other pocket PCs, but it has a great display and satisfactorily readable interface.

The device also has 128MB internal memory. That’s what made me feel disappointed though. I’m looking for a higher internal storage capacity because I don’t wanna purchase an additional SD card anymore. Some cards in the local market are China-made. In just few months, they can no longer be read in the PC and the device. I am also hesitant to buy an original one because it really adds up to the expenses. However, if this device is available with a higher storage capacity, I still want to make a call with it. Its Windows Media Player is still a great thing to have for lovers of entertainment.

The package is completed with a headset, AC adapter, USB cable, manual and CD software. Well, pretty justifiable by the price, right?

Kodak Easy Share C653 | Digital Camera

Kodak Easy Share C653 | Digital CameraHubby and I bought this digital Camera two years ago and it’s still doing great. The camera has 3 times optical zoom with 6.1 mega pixels. It comes with freebies like USB cable, a dock, a 256MB memory card and CD in a box. You don’t need to be a professional photographer when you own a digital camera because it is so easy to use with different types of features included into it and what’s best is that you can delete bad photos or blurred ones without a sweat.

Although this Kodak Easy Share C653 is not water proof, but still it is durable since we have been using it since 2007, even if it has scratches and has been bumped so many times, still it’s dependable. The picture clarity is really wonderful because when you view it using windows picture manager, you can zoom it up to 8 to 10 times. Kodak Easy Share C653 has features such as auto shot, anti blur, close up, night landscape (for dark or night photography) and video capture. The video capture’s length depends on the size of your memory card. If you use the internal memory which is 32MB internal memory, it will only last for 16 seconds.

Kodak Easy Share C653 | Digital Camera has The screen size by the way measures 6.1 cm/ 2.4in. (LxW) LCD. With two AA batteries that will last for at least an hour , you can only take 20-25 photo shots maximum number and sometimes the downside of this camera is that most shots you take are undefined formats and you cannot do anything but delete that beautiful shot and take another snap. Another disadvantage of this camera is that you need to wait for 8-10 seconds for you to take a new shot. So if you are taking clicks of an event or activities in motion, you may miss that great shot because the camera is too slow to clean it’s slate before you get the next big thing. If you consider buying this kind of model, I suggest you select the ones that’s high in pixel rate and be sure to check the speed when you click a photo.

Transcend PF720 | Digital Picture Frame

Standing with the decors in the table of my friend’s living room, one amazing picture frame caught my attention. I was so amazed by the complex design that I thought it was a laptop. But hey, that was really a digital picture frame.

Transcend’s intelligence had customized even simple things into more complex and more convenient home gadgets. With wide screen, Transcend PF720 allows users to view one picture at a time. It’s quite amazing though because I can shift the viewing mode into slideshow or thumbnails. My friend is so lucky with this gadget. He can save a lot of picture frames as well as space because with the gadgets 2Gb internal memory, he can store all the pictures he want to view everyday.

So far, as what I have known, the gadget displays bitmap and jpeg images. I’m not sure about picture files of gif format. It also accepts pictures taken from digital cameras and cellphones. I think that’s way too cool. If I have one, I can go over daily memories and I can laugh at them one by one.

Another amazing thing about this handy gadget is that it can play videos of .mpg, .mov, .avi and .3gp. That’s a big ‘wow!’ for me. It is almost like that of a laptop or DVD player. It’s just that the main thing it does is to display pictures.

In terms of audio playback, it has a built-in mp3 player. That’s cool! What’s cooler than carrying a handy gadget that can play songs, display photos and play videos everywhere? I really thought that it was a laptop. So cool, dude! A portable media player so cute and so handy without spending as much as the price of a laptop.

By the way, pictures and other files from cellphones are transferred through card slots. The gadget has built-in card reader so that files from memory cards will be transferred directly. Same as with flash drives. The gadget has USB port capability giving the user more convenience in transferring data from flash drives, mp3 players and PSP.

If I were to be asked for an opinion, I would say this is much like a laptop minus the OS and some programs. But this is quite good enough for those who are looking for basic media player at a lower cost and simpler functions than that of a laptop. Whichever way you choose it, it is still worth a couple of bucks. I guess I want to have one. It won’t be waste of money anyhow.

Nokia BH-900 Bluetooth Headset

Nokia BH-900 Bluetooth HeadsetAfter purchasing the Nokia 5800 Xpress Music and Nokia 5310 Xpress Music, I too decided to get myself a new bluetooth headset. Since my mobile phone is from Nokia, I think that my new bluetooth headset should also be of the same brand, so again I went online to search and read up reviews as well as feedbacks on the available Nokia bluetooth headset.

The Nokia BH-900 bluetooth headset stood up amongst the rest of the Nokia bluetooth range. With almost all positive feedbacks as well as good recommendations from different opinions, including that of the mobile phone seller, I decided to make the purchase. I paid approximately RM300 (US$84) for this bluetooth headset, and I am utterly impressed with the gadget.

The design for this headset is quite different from other conventional headsets, which usually come with a hook to hold the headset securely to the ear. The BH-900 instead, features a specific clip-like hanging mechanism symmetrically located on both sides. Apart from the unique clip design, the headset features a sliding microphone, or so call “boom stick” that extends the microphone closer to the mouth to enhance voice input. Clarity is superb at both ends when I tried out the unit, and that alone convinced me that it was the headset that I wanted.

Despite the complicated look of the clip, wearing it is very easy after a few tries. Also, I could hardly notice that I actually have the headset put on even after long hours. It sits securely in place while I move around, and I do not have to worry that it might fall off. What I like most is that, being comfortable and clear aside, I could even make/receive calls at noisier environments without having myself and the person on the other end shouting at each other thanks to the 3 little openings at the microphone that let sound in, and a DSP (Digital Signal Processor) system that filters out background noices, leading to clear and distinct voice. The sound quality is that good that the person at the other end do not even notice that I was using a bluetooth headset. So why don't you buy this Nokia BH-900 Bluetooth Headset.

Samsung G600 Get Slide And Snape

Samsung G600
Samsung sets two contenders running for glory, with two 5 megapixel newcomers on the cameraphone market. The Samsung G600 was first to be announced, and had the mobile community astir. Featuring quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support, a glamorous 2.2″ 16M color TFT display and stereo Bluetooth, the Samsung G600 is easily a tempting all-around multimedia device. The stylish design, the choice of colors and the metallic touch add up to some really exquisite looks. You may as well have a soft spot for this baby already but we are here to make sure its appeal is more than skin-deep.

Main disadvantages

* No 3G support
* Upper row of alphanumeric keys might be hard to reach
* New headset/charger jack incompatible with older accessories
* Xenon flash would’ve suited it better
* Shot-to-shot time on the slow side

Samsung G600 was the first GSM cameraphone by the Korean manufacturer to feature a 5 megapixel camera module. The checkered flag is nowhere in sight in the megapixel race, but obviously 2007 will be marked for the successful conquering of the 5 megapixel barrier. We really don’t think the megapixel count is all that important when it comes to image quality - there’s so much more to it, like color rendering, digital noise and dynamic range. But let’s not get into the photographic mumbo jumbo; we’re reviewing a mobile phone after all.

How about a brief look back though, before we go? You know, a little bit of context won’t hurt. Samsung D900 proved quite a gifted contender in the 3 megapixel shootouts we did in the past. In fact, it even got our recommendation as the best cameraphone in the slider form factor last year. The G600 is in for quite a challenge meeting this kind of expectations. Samsung D900 is already well in the past though, so let’s get on with it. More after the jump.

Nokia E90 | Do You Like Heavy?

Nokia E90 Comunicator
Size doesn’t bother you? Then get ready for the stars and the moon, for the communicator gives it all: internet, GPS, excellent camera and many others.

The Nokia E90 Communicator is the latest addition to the set of contemporary high-performance devices for executives. We had to wait three years since the last Nokia 9500 Communicator appeared. Our patience was duly rewarded at the 2007 3GSM Congress, when Nokia unveiled the ultimate no-compromise mobile communication device. It remains faithful to some of the family traditions, others it forsakes, but the outcome is downright worth it. Nokia E90 has the familiar body construction: a hefty handset, which opens up to reveal a wide landscape display.

Before the Nokia E90 comunicator appeared, communicators used to be a class on its own in the Nokia portfolio. They had their own UI, which brought forth a number of issues. Above all, every application had to be adapted to the uncommon S80 UI. Quite unaffordable and therefore rare, communicators were ostracized by software developers. That’s exactly the flaw, which has been addressed in the new Nokia E90. The phone features a standard Symbian 9.2 and 3rd edition S60, working on a giant display and ensuring far greater compatibility.

In closed position Nokia E90 Comunicator looks like a traditional, though well oversized, Nokia bar. For the lack of a better reference point for size and weight, we compare it against the older Nokia 9500. The newer release has notably reduced size and still packs in near full contemporary functionality. The table below compares the essential features of the last two Communicator generations.

Sony Ericsson K660i

sony ericcson k660i
Sony Ericsson K660i offers quad-band support and EDGE, USB and stereo Bluetooth completing the connectivity options.Announced in November and yet to be released, the Sony Ericsson K660 is a polished 3G bar, which sneaks some high-end goodies into the midrange. Besides HSDPA and enhanced web browsing, the undoubted focal point, K660 offers a balanced feature set including Walkman Player 3.0, a QVGA display, the three-soft-key layout and the enhanced Media Center.

A quick glance at the specifications of the mid-range Sony Ericsson K660 shows a lot of similarities to the just released K630. A definite advantage of the K660 is the 262K color display of QVGA resolution and the quad-band GSM support. Both handsets offer 32MB of internal memory, further expandable through the Memory Stick Micro card slot. The camera module is also the same - a two megapixel snapper with no autofocus.

The K660i comes in the rather compact dimensions of 104 x 47 x 15mm, at a weight of 95 grams. The K660i runs on a 950 mAh Li-Ion (BST-33) battery. It’s officially quoted at 330 h of stand-by, while the talk time is 9 hours.

The Sony Ericsson K660i will be available in two color combos - “lime on white” and “wine on black”. We had the latter for our quick preview of the Sony Ericsson K660.

Design

We liked the design of Sony Ericsson K660i. Neat and elegant, it comes with sleek mirror like front panel made of plastic. The tiny round keys on the keypad brought memories of the K810, though with a distinct old-school feel. The black plastic buttons have nothing but the numbers on them, while the letters are in the ample space between the keys.

The back panel is also made of plastic. The sides have a metallic finish, divided asymmetrically by a line of black matt plastic.

Well, all those sleek surfaces and materials catch the eye but also are critically exposed to finger prints. Keeping the phone clean will definitely be a challenge.

Handling the Sony Ericsson K660i is a real pleasure and working with the handset is trouble-free.
