I Don't Know Why, NOKIA ?!

First thing I thought of for a title was “N97 a major fuck up” then I thought I should leave my feelings aside when reviewing this handset, which I was loving three months ago.

What everybody should know that web reviews that talk about a new handset, specifications wise, hands on wise and performance wise all are related to reality but not the reality itself.

In each time I decides to change my mobile, I do a good research, I surf the web reading all articles, reviews and forums to know what will it really feels to have a specific mobile model. Articles are mostly press releases based information, when you read it you only get to know what happened in the world and what that mobile makers were doing in the past what-so-ever time span. Specs usually talk utopia, you get to know what the manufacturer used to make your device costs this much or looks that shiny (or crappy). Reviews which I depends on when taking the final decision, reviews are made by mobile experts, wither they are technical persons, business development experts, or just mobile fans whom have the ability to show people what they must expect from this or that device.

In all cases not every thing you read on the web are the truth, or let’s say the complete image.

After waiting so long for an N-series touch device, it came along, the N97 which was everything you will dream of from a Nokia N-series touch enabled device. 3.5” resistive touch screen, 5MP Carl Zeiss optics, QWERTY keyboard and a brand new Symbian (assumed checked) OS. That what the Specs said, and beautiful on paper. First impression --- Excellent.

Then I went to the best of the best in the field of mobile phones reviews, I am a Nokia fan and am a lot into these handsets, but the hands on impression must be 75% of my opinion, and as I can’t get that feeling without buying the device I went to the review sites to have an idea of what they did feel about it. Impressions were all in the good favor of the N97 except minor concerns about the touch screen responsiveness which for me was not an issue at all, as I have an idea how resistive touch screen works in hardware, and in algorithms. Hands on impression --- Very Good.

Before the N97 hits the regional market I had already took my decision, am getting that phone.

Now after almost 5 months of heavy usage of this device, this is how I feel:

• The design and keyboard mechanism is beautiful and surely they did a good work in that part of the device.  
  
• The touch screen responsiveness was as all reviewers expected, it still has some issues, and by the time I am writing this it went worse update after the other.
• OS stability is the worst ever I experienced with Nokia devices, after switching from E-series E71 to N97 you can feel how Nokia does not give the same effort it does in the E-series OS. My device crashed many times, I don’t remember how often it did, but am sure more than all Nokia device I had did in the past 5 years. Sometimes during a web browsing session, it just blank out and restarts, sometimes it restarts and stuck on the Nokia logo.
• Worth to note that in each time Nokia publish a software update, it writes in the description “to enhance OS stability …” and it keeps getting worse.
• USB connectivity is something unpredictable, I don’t know what to say, it is just unpredictable.
• The only thing I enjoy in my N97, and I mean the ONLY thing I enjoy is my camera, I don’t want my N97 to be only a Digital Camera !!! but what to do ?!!!

As if anyone from Nokia will read this out, you should do something serious about N97, it is a beautiful handset, and I will regret to replace it with any other. Consider getting N97 a new OS. Or an improved one that will keep it stable. For me I feel I have been fraud by Nokia with this N97, and I don’t like this feeling at all !

Lenovo U1 is here to make sure you will be happy !

It is getting wild in the Tech market, everyone is looking to be unique and attract consumers to his side, and the best thing to do that is to give the consumer everything he wants ! be real thats Impossible !

but for some reason Lenovo got you this Laptop to make you feel you got it all in your hands, or lets say with this new Laptop they are making sure that you will be happy for a long long long time!

Idealpad U1 Hybrid Notebook Tablet is going to be released in the second quarter of 2010, a couple of sites managed to get a first impression about this Tablet, and a hands-on.

The U1 looks a regular Notebook at start, with colorful glossy back, running windows 7 and armed with a 4GB of RAM it looks great!, but when i come and detach the screen it will switch directly in a second to Lenovo Skylight OS, and becomes an independent resistive 11.6" touchscreen tablet.

 

Finally you should know that the tablet runs on 3G ! and how is that for a Finale ?!

here is some pics and a video to give you a feel about this MUST HAVE device.

it is Officially here ! The Nexus One !

Yesterday @ 10:00am PT @ Mountain View Google Unveiled its Nexus One, the first Google phone that is finally here, and it is coming to stay.

The Specs and full details of this product you can find on :  http://www.google.com/phone

This phone armed with a 3.7" capacitive multi-touch screen, and a Qualcomm QSD 8250 1.0 GHz Processor running the most wanted Android 2.1 (Eclair) will be the center of attention for Google, Developers and fans.

As far as i know its QSD CPU tops any other smartphone's CPU in the market now, and i think that will be the main advantage of the Nexus One; because with this gap ahead of any other smartphone out there, it will take a long time on top of the mobile market, as they called it (Super Phone!). What i mean by that, this phone will get alot of (and i mean alot of!) updates, and with each update comes new Apps and new features, because they have thier hardware in the best shape it can gets (for a while!), but they still have things to do about the OS, an that will be in the 3D and Multi-touch categories.

enough with this talk, you can check out the phone on many links, but start with the Google's Official site for The Nexus One.

Cheers!

The Nexus One

Nexus One review

What you all were waiting for is now here, and guess what? Its awesome !

The Nexus One, or Google phone is out and reviewed by the guys at engadget.com, they got there self one before the official launch of the phone today at Mountain View; and they made the best out of it; they reviewed it and they have some serious stuff to talk about: Looks, Design, OS, Camera and UI.

But what you will get at the end of the review, is that the Nexus One is not all what you can dream of, it has a monster CPU the best in class, on the other hand it has a good UI or lets be fair a very good UI but not the best (it still need some work). But it is an enjoyable device to work around, and a joy for the eye to (Great Design).

As for me am looking forward to get my hands on one of The Google Phones, but until then.
