NOKIA 6303i classic REVIEW

Nokia today announced the Nokia 6303i classic, a sophisticated and compact device that follows in the footprints of the Nokia 6303 classic and builds on the proven formula that made Nokia the world leader in mobile phones. The device is great value for money with its amazing feature list and an estimated retail price of EUR 105, before taxes and subsidies.

The 6303i classic now comes stomaching enhanced battery talents, enabling you to make up to 8 hours of calls. It’s also capable of letting you listen to around 30 hours of music via its built-in music player and FM radio, and will sit tight for over three weeks on standby.

Extending its rack of communication tools, the 6303i supports instant messaging for enhanced social savviness. It also features a 3.2-megapixel camera with dual LED flash, geared up for easily sharing your sharp snaps online.

We touched on the topic of refinement a few weeks ago and it’s place in mobile innovation and development cycle, and the 6303i classic is certainly another example of this to sit alongside the likes of the similarly honed E72. What do you think?

The 6303i classic begins shipping in selected territories this quarter.

The 6303i uses the S40 6th edition user interface. The interface is simple and intuitive. There is not much change in the UI over its predecessor 6303. The home screen has got slight make over, which features usual status reading like signal & battery status, caller ID. When the keypad is locked, if you press end key, it shows time and date. The menu system also got some renovation. The new mode displays a single icon at a time. The interface is boring as the icons lack the animations. Since it lacks multitasking, you can’t minimize java apps like Opera browser and do other tasks.

The Nokia 6303i Classic offers connectivity in the form of GPRS and EDGE, both of which are class 32. Micro-USB and blue tooth are also included as standard and offer additional connectivity options. The handset comes with an internal memory capacity of 55 MB, with a 2 GB card included in most packages, whilst for further memory capacity the existing microSD card slot and relevant cards can be used to increase capacity up to 16 GB.

The handset offers an impressive 2.2 inch TFT display screen which offers impressive levels of colour variance by virtue of its 16 million colour options. The handset offers the alternative of either ring or vibration alerts as well as the ability to utilise existing MP3 files as ringtones. The phone also comes with a speakerphone which provides effective hands free communication in addition to a 3.5 mm audio jack which offers the option of personal listening, should this be desired or required.

The Classic Nokia 6303i is an impressive handset, styled in a popular style with a range of functionality that makes it a viable option for many.

Nokia 2330 Classic REVIEW
The Nokia 2330 Classic is an entry level Nokia phone with a classic design. With smooth rounded edges and a stylish flat keypad, the 2330 Classic features a VGA digital camera which can also capture video. Share your photos with friends using the 2330's built in Bluetooth or MMS and Email capabilities. The Nokia 2330 also features a built in FM radio so you can tune in to the latest hits and supports MP3 ringtones so you can choose your favourite track and set it as your ringtone.Presented to us in two colour choices, the Nokia 2330 classic will be available in black with the silver keypad trim, as pictured, or Deep Red. Weighing in at a polite 90 grams and with dimensions of 13.8mm x 46mm x 107mm, this handset fits neatly into most pockets. Offering a 1.8” TFT display with 65k colours and 160 x 128 pixels, the integrated VGA digital camera can be used with ease to create images and videos. These can be stored easily in the 32 Mbytes of memory. For those who like to listen to their favourite FM radio station whenever they can, the dedicated FM Radio key allows easy listening supported by the internal antenna. Once fully charged a talk time of 4.8 hrs and standby time of 540 hrs can be expected. Also offering all the usual suspects of SMS and MMS, Bluetooth® technology and a built in web browser, the user will be able to use the Nokia Xpress audio messaging service to share audio messages with compatible contacts. The Hands Free and Conference call features, audio recording and a good selection of ring tone formats also help to round off this elegant edition to the Nokia Classics range.

In summary, the Nokia 2330 Classic is an elegantly crafted handset which delivers all the minimum aspects we have come to expect in our mobile phones with the quality we have come to expect from Nokia. It is a lovely little phone, ideal for all ages, particularly those who don’t want to be blinded by science but want up to date basic applications.

Nokia 5630 XpressMusic

GAMBAR DAN SPESIFIKASI Nokia 5630 XpressMusic

Nokia 5630 XpressMusic REVIEW
Nokia has first ensured that the new 5630 XpressMusic ticks the musical boxes. Comes with Music enabled in selected countries, it’s ready to soak up to 3,000 songs into its slender shell via a 4GB microSD memory card that comes in the box. Likewise, its tuneful talents extend to the ’say and play’ feature (first debuted on the 5320 XpressMusic last year), letting you speak the name of an artist of track to automatically play it. Plus, the Nokia 5630 comes loaded with a 3.5mm headphone connector, stereo Bluetooth, FM stereo and Internet radio to wrap up its music credentials. Now here comes the twist…

Alongside those core talents sit some unusual but welcome suspects on the features front. For starters it’s a full blown S60 device with fast HSDPA connectivity, meaning it’s primed to be loaded with apps and able to exploit many of the best Internet services out there, such as widgets (a la the 5800 and upcoming N97), Ovi Share and Nokia Messaging.

Similarly, it throws N-Gage gaming into the mix – only the second time Nokia’s premium gaming platform has been available on a non Nseries device (the 6210 just got there first). However, at just 12mm slim and weighing only 83g, this makes the Nokia 5630 XpressMusic the slimmest and lightest N-Gage gaming device to date.

Another smart addition is the home screen, which features a new Contacts Bar that has a definite widget feel to it – smartly animated, you can scroll through icons for up to 20 contacts and interact with them directly from the home screen.

The 5630 XpressMusic from Nokia comes with a complete N-Gage experience with an N-Gage shortcut on the homescreen. N-Gage offers an entire catalogue of mobile games from leading game publishers, a multiplayer game feature, and the ability to track progress, as well as add friends to play games against. In addition, the Nokia 5630 cell phone comes with a full focus 3.2 megapixel camera with flash function. Pictures or videos can be captured and shared via a favorite online community, such as Share on Ovi, Flickr, or Facebook.

HANDPHONE NOKIA C5|GAMBAR-SPESIFIKASI

GAMBAR DAN SPESIFIKASI NOKIA C5

Engadget queried the NOKIA C5’s smartphone credentials, which in turn poses an interesting question in terms of what expectations are now placed on a device to be dubbed a smartphone? The Nokia C5 is built on the S60 3rd edition platform of Nseries fame, and comes with a host of IM and social networking features built in. It also comes loaded with free walk and drive voice-guided navigation courtesy of Ovi Maps. Not to mention speedy HSDPA connectivity, granting maximum speeds of up to 10.2 Mbps via your operator, and HSUPA for rapid uploads of up to 2Mbps over the air. Does a smartphone need a large touchscreen and heaps of onboard memory to be called a smartphone? Let us know what you think below. However, Engadget did also highlight what good value it thinks the C5 presents:

Temas Wordpress mais ou menos gratuitos

Encontram-se com facilidade temas gratuitos para o Wordpress. Mas como alguém disse, não há almoços grátis e algo terá que ser sempre pago, nem que seja apenas um link para o site do criador do tema. Acontece que por vezes algumas surpresas vêm escondidas no tema e é preciso estar a alerta:

Temas do Wordpress – Copyright a troco de segurança

«(…) alguns destes websites incluem “surpresas” nos temas. E por surpresas, digo código ofuscado de maneira a não ser perceptível pelo administrador do blog. Muitos websites alegam que se trata de código para manter os devidos créditos aos autores dos temas, e o ofuscam para mante-los. Mas será apenas esse o conteúdo que está por trás desse bloco de código? A verdade é que muitas vezes também é incluído código que permite rastrear utilizadores, incluir links para blackhat SEO, entre outras coisas»  continuar a ler

Por isso se encontrou um fantástico tema Wordpress e acha que seria a cara do seu blog, assegure-se primeiro que faz uma pesquisa no Google com o nome do tema e com o termo "blackhat SEO". Depois perca algum tempo a ver o que se diz sobre esse tema. Poderá nada encontrar mas se não procurar também não saberá se há algo a ter em conta ;-)

How to Choose Between Joomla, Drupal and Wordpress

This post presents three summaries on how to choose between three content managers systems. These summaries provide you a quick overview but for deeper insight follow the links to the original articles.

The links for these CMS are

• http://www.joomla.org
• http://drupal.org
• http://wordpress.org

Enjoy and give your feedback.

1. From compassdesigns.net:

 

2. From goodwebpractices.com:

Wordpress Pros

• Simple to use - No need for modifications
• Excellent for blogging or sharing thoughts in a sequential manner
• Even the most elderly of users can get the hang of it quickly

Wordpress Cons

• Not developer friendly
• The community seems to like to complain
• Upgrades bring more bugs than fixes sometimes

 

Drupal Pros

• Extremely developer friendly. If I loved code more I would almost always pick this system.
• Strong community to help discern the dozens (hundreds) of functions and tags available.
• Can be used to create some really awesome websites that can outperform a majority of other sites out there.

Drupal Cons

• Not very designer and user-friendly. It's hard for someone with little code knowledge to make the leaps required to do the very cool things that Drupal is becoming known for.
• Theming of Drupal has been a huge case of fail (until recently). Probably because it has been developers, not designers, that are making the themes.
• Getting a Drupal website published could cost you more time, and thus more money, than Wordpress or Joomla.

 

Joomla Pros

• Friendly for all types of users - Designers, Developers and Administrators
• Huge community is awesome for assisting with creation of websites
• Has been rapidly growing and improving itself for the past three years

Joomla Cons

• Still not user-friendly enough for everyone to understand
• Not quite as powerful as Drupal, and can be a bit confusing for some to jump into
• Recently rebuilt the entire system from ground-up, and so there are still many out there sticking to the old versions (1.0.x)

From drupal.org

(yeah, it's one of three opinion's but they are realistic)

Drupal
* Rock solid & high quality platform
* Real multi-site-feature (only one installation for several sites)
* Any Kind of user groups & user permissions, OpenId compliant in Version 6
* Can run membership and community sites, not only CMS etc
* Powerful templating system. Any XHTML or CSS template can be easily converted to Drupal.
* Drupal needs a little time investment to realize all the huge possibilities of Drupal
* Clear, high quality code and API (easy to integrate with other solutions etc)
* Flexibility and no known limitations
* Many high profile sites use Drupal (e.g.: MTV UK, BBC, the Onion, Nasa, Greenpeace UK, New york observer. )

Joomla
* If you are not techy its good to start
* Easy install & setup with your mouse
* Easy learning curve
* Cannot integrate other scripts etc. to your site
* Generally you cannot create high-end sites, without investing huge amount
* No SEO out of the box, URLs are not search engine friendly.
* Server resources utilization is more compared to drupal
* Only one site per installation
* No Single Log-in to several sites
* No User groups & permissions
* More intuitive administration user interface
* Some polished modules for things like calendars, polls, etc.
* Modules cost you money

System Requirements:

* Drupal can work with MySQL and Postgres while Joomla is known to support only MySQL
* Drupal can work with Apache or IIS while Joomla is known to support only Apache
* Joomla support SSL logins and SSL pages. Drupal not known to support it.

Site Management

* Drupal has free add on for Workflow management. Joomla not known to have one.
* Drupal has inbuilt Translation manager. Joomla has a Free ad on for the same
* Drupal has more granular priviledge managment

Interoperability:

* Drupal has iCal support [Add on] , Joomla not known to have one.
* Drupal is XHTML Complaint. Joomla not known to be one.
* Drupal has excellent versioning and Audit trail which Joomla lacks

Browsers share (among web dev people)

Here's some stats about the browsers share (among web dev people).  Specifically, this data is collected from the visitors of the site W3Schools. So have this in consideration:

W3Schools is a website for people with an interest for web technologies. These people are more interested in using alternative browsers than the average user. The average user tends to use Internet Explorer, since it comes preinstalled with Windows. Most do not seek out other browsers.
These facts indicate that the browser figures above are not 100% realistic. Other web sites have statistics showing that Internet Explorer is used by at least 80% of the users
