Motorola RAZR XT910-The Best-selling Flip Up Mobile Of All Time

If we turn back in 2004, when is launched the first model of Motorola’s RAZR series, we can confirm that this model created “boom” and now reading the history of the evolution of mobile telephony, we can say it turned the world upside-down  with his innovations, slim profile and impressive design. The same model hides one more fact, till today this is the best-selling flip up mobile of all time. Today we have the opportunity to introduce the youngest member of the “family” named the Motorola RAZR XT910.

Design of Motorola RAZR XT910
This model by design is not flip up model, opposed to its successful predecessor, but kept its slim sophisticated look that definitely feel stylish and attractive but most of all practical. In today’s world of smartphones, models are usually quite robust, while this model with its slim lines and a weight of just 127 grams is equally good in the hand of a lady or a business man. Beside the beautiful design, Motorola’s design team hasn’t spared on quality materials (which always raise the final price of the product), and a back cover is made of Kevlar, which is 5 times stronger than steel, but most impressive detail is interior of device is protected with special material for increased resistance in the situation when your device comes in contact with water.

Specifications of Motorola RAZR XT910
List of pleasant surprises when it comes to RAZR XT910 does not stop with design, the XT910 has a 4.3-inch QHD AMOLED Super Advanced touch screen that is made by special Gorilla Glass technology for guaranteed durance. Colors, sharpness and viewing angles of this device are perfect and we can not really find any flaw. Images or video formats on the display appear vividly, but made with impressive 8MP camera gives them a life. Great part of this belongs to the mentioned camera with high pixel quality with LED flash and autofocus . The camera has an option to make video 1080p at 30fps.

Talking about the other performances of this device (but no less important), we get to the “brain” of Motorola xt910 RAZR. Motorola’s newest innovation works with Android, v2.3.5 (Gingerbread) OS and it runs fast and stable processor of a 1.2GHz dual core and users of this device and the blog community haven’t expressed any objection, and we give ourselves the right to conclude that the processor does work perfectly with regard to the aforementioned first two groups always respond to each, even the smallest bug of new models on the market. This 3G phone has Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g / n, dual-band, DLNA and Wi-Fi hotspot connectivity options for Internet surf.

Features of Motorola RAZR XT910
As with most Android phones, and the RAZR’s list of supported applications is almost endless. We will mention only few, like A-GPS and GLONASS support, a HDMI port, a digital compass, a Google Search, Maps, the Gmail a, YouTube, Google Talk, Picasa integration and of course MP3-MP4 player to support music or video files. Current customers who are already using this device will miss FM radio and this remains unclear why this model is not supported with this application. The only negative connotations related to the device relates to battery. RAZR is equipped with Li-Ion 1780 mAh battery and in 3G mode is relatively quickly discharged, but generally it is a problem of almost all advanced devices that are energy-demanding due to large display and the processor, so it would be unfair to say that this model is below average when it comes to battery life.

At the very end we can say the conclusion that the Motorola RAZR XT910 is really competitive on Android market, and it’s clear that Motorola has give not easy “homework” with this model to competitive companies that are fighting for their share of the pie on the mobile market. The question remains whether this model will experience the glory of its predecessor in mobile shop, but Motorola is free to say that it has done everything what is in its power when it comes to creating an extraordinary Android. Now, it’s all up to buyers…

Sony Ericsson New Phones

The Sony Ericsson Z610 is a 3G clam shell phone with a 2 megapixel camera, but perhaps its most striking feature is how shiny it is.There is a speedy fashion adjust in the globe we currently dwell in as folks are turning into more and a lot more conversant with much better, improved and newer issues that relate to how we appear. Designers are working about the clock to meet the demands of a style-obsessed society. 

We've seen this sort of shiny/glossy phone before, starting with the LG Chocolate, then the Samsung E900, but the Z610 is a little more like the Motorola KRZR K1. The highly polished exterior of the Z610 is complemented by a very discrete external OLED display that is effectively hidden from view when not in use.

Perhaps the Sony Ericsson Z610i demonstrates just how customers tend to choose their own features, rather than what they're offered by manufacturers. While the people who make phones seem to be happy to offer video calling, VOIP and other goodies, customers seem to be interested in.. things that are shiny.

The rumors about Sony Ericsson P3i smartphone has been flying around the net for a while now. Looks like Sony Ericsson have a new UIQ messenger device that will be launching soon. Apparently it will be a P3i under the P series. According to the thumbnail leaked from MSN China, the P3i could be an alternate based on the Elena prototype (like the P1i). Software updates are expected but we are keeping an eye on this story for you. More on it soon.

Esato and Sony Ericsson-Cz.com show us the latest version of the Sony Ericsson P3i, but this time we know that it’s a Photoshopped concept phone, instead of the old leaked image. In case you didn’t know, P3i is some sort of follow-up to the P1i. It features a touchscreen and I’m sure it’ll include Wi-Fi, 3G, maybe HSDPA and a 5 MP camera.

The resemblance between the P3i and P1i is clear, specially when it comes to the design and you should notice that this new version of the P3i concept features a touchpad and a couple more keys beneath the display, unlike the original full touchscreen concept. Also, it seems we’ll be given a taste of Windows Mobile on this handset, but that’s pretty hard to believe at this point.
Here’s the first version of the P3i concept phone, that surfaced last summer and below it, yet another attempt at designing the perfect SE phone.

Apple iPhone 4S Feels Solid And Survive The Odd Fal

The iPhone 4S is basically the same design as the iPhone 4. The lack of exterior redesign follows the trend that Apple set with the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS, the devices look the same, except for a few minor exterior tweaks to accommodate the new dual antenna inside.

This change amounts to a slight move of the mute switch, so it is closer to the volume up button than before. For this reason alone, your existing iPhone 4 case may not fit.Apple’s latest iPhone is the iPhone 4. This sophisticated device provides excellent communication and entertainment facilities.

Features include, among others, Wi-Fi internet, Apps store, iTunes, navigation with GPS and MAPS support. Music lovers will appreciate the included iPod featuresThe striking design makes even some of the of the newer competition look dated. Front and back are glass, with steel edging circling the phone. The flat back prevents that “quivering” many phones are subject to when placed on a table.o iPhone 4 certainly feels solid and should survive the odd fall.

The glass, though covered with oil-resistant veneer, does tend to draw smears and the promised scratch-resistance will have to prove itself in pockets full of keys and coins. The new Retina Display, so called because it exceeds the number of pixels a human retina is able to process, features a resolution of 960 x 640 pixels – four times as many as previous iPhones.

Combined with the IPS display (as used on the iPad), featuring a contrast ratio of a massive 800:1, this provides a stunningly clear display, finished off nicely with TFT and AMOLED, as used on many Android phones.

iPhone 4 uses the same ambient light sensor, proximity sensor and accelerometer as previous versions, with no functionality changes. Most other outer elements – such as the home button, headset jack, power button, speaker, microphone and 30 pin connector – remain pretty much unchanged from the iPhone 3GS. Unfortunately this means the battery still can’t be removed.

Other design changes include a front VGA camera with LED flash and a noise cancellation microphone. The split volume button is easier to work than the previous rocker and the mute button above has also been improved.
One major change is that the SIM card slot is now at the right of the iPhone and the format has been changed to MicroSIM, resembling the iPad. It is therefore no longer possible to use a regular pattern SIM in this phone. Last, but not least, the iPhone 4 16GB is also available in white, and the 32GB version offers more storage space.

THE PRICE
$200 for 16GB, $300 for 32GB, and $400 for 64GB. Comes with your choice of two-year indenture to AT&T, Verizon, and now Sprint.

THE VERDICT
The iPhone 4S is Apple smartly restraining themselves. Rather than push into a new mobile form factor every year, the pattern now is to introduce a new form factor, then improve upon it with the next release. Which means something that was already great just gets better.

If you have an iPhone 4, gnash your teeth and wait. If you don't, this is a buy.
UPDATE, Oct. 29: In the days following the publishing of this review, I started to notice some battery life issues. They started subtly, but are now more noticeable: By the end of a day, starting with a full charge with only moderate usage, my batter is about dead. With the iPhone 4, I could make it two days on a single charge pretty easily. And judging by this support thread, I'm not alone. We'll keep an eye on it, and see if a software update can fix.

Look Forward To Seeing Nokia Lumia 710

The Lumia 710 comes in black and white, but there are five choices for removable back covers: black, white, cyan, fuchsia, and yellow. When you buy the black phone, you'll get the black color and one other cover. The same formula extends to the white phone.

I saw white, fuchsia, and cyan colors, which looked especially jazzy when paired with Windows Phone's various customizable OS tile colors.

Now on to the specs! The Lumia 710 has a 3.7-inch LCD screen with a WVGA 800x480-pixel resolution. It employs Nokia's ClearBlack display technology, which helps filter out the light to improve contrast, and also improve readability in direct sunlight. While not nearly as stunning as the Lumia 800's AMOLED display of the same size, it still looks nice and bright and colorful.

One benefit of the Windows Phone OS is that the live tiles and icons are large and the design is clear-cut, so a smaller screen isn't as much of a hindrance as it could be, at least in terms of navigation. While on the compact side, the 3.7-inch screen didn't feel claustrophobic in the hour or so I had the phone in hand.
Beneath the display is an oblong bubble of plastic that serves as the button for the three Windows Phone keys: the Back button, the Windows button, and the Search button. It looks pretty cool, but isn't as responsive as I'd like. The buttons on either end have more snapback, but I wasn't always sure I was hitting the Windows button in the center. Nokia could have done a bit better there.

There are the volume rocker and photo shutter button on the right spine, a 3.5mm headset jack and power button up top, and a Micro-USB charging port.

On the back is the 5-megapixel camera lens with LED flash. You'll be happy to know that it supports 720p HD video capture at 30 frames per second. Nokia is known for its strong camera phones, so I wasted little time working those angles. Most of the photos I took were indoors and saturated with plenty of natural light supplied by large windows, and the photo quality looked pretty good overall, though I'll need some more time and lighting situations to really determine quality.

Features and apps

There will also be the Nokia Music app, which isn't yet available. It will offer Mix Radio and free streaming music. The ESPN Hub is the third unique software addition; it will have a host of scores and details for sports lovers, integrated right into the phone.

Like the Lumia 800, the Lumia 710 is powered by a 1.4GHz single-core processor, and its performance felt nice and zippy during my brief testing period. Of course, I wasn't e-mailing or using the phone for any strenuous tasks.

Pricing and availability
The Lumia is a quad-band GSM world phone that's expected to cost $370 (270 Euros) unlocked.
There aren't any immediate announcements concerning a U.S. carrier on either the GSM or CDMA network, but Nokia says it's working on a CDMA version, and also on making the phones LTE-capable. That means there's a very good chance we'll see the Lumia 710 or something like it announced for Verizon.

We also know that the Lumia 710 won't arrive on the menu until closer to the end of 2011, with Hong Kong, India, Russia, and Taiwan being the first to get a bite.

In sum
The Nokia Lumia 710 isn't a cutting-edge phone in terms of specs, but so far it's a solid device with a nice design. Although my hands-on time is cursory compared with the kind of deep testing we employ for a full-on review, I'd say I got a good snapshot of the phone's look and feel. I didn't have a chance to test call quality and data speeds, especially since as the phone isn't optimized for a U.S. network, performance here is not representational. However, I did enjoy holding and interacting with the phone, which is always a positive sign when it comes to a manufacturer and carrier actually selling the things.

I look forward to seeing the Lumia 710 and its cousins optimized for a U.S. market, and seeing how well it holds up to the competition when it does.
