What others are saying:

“When taking the E75 out of its box, the first thing you’ll notice is its weight. While 139 grams may not sound like much, the difference in weight to other handsets is noticeable — though if anything, it acts to give the E75 a feeling of sturdiness. Navigation of the phone is mostly performed using a standard arrangement of nav-keys and a numeric keypad, but the real selling point for the E75 is the slide-out QWERTY keyboard underneath. It’s lucky it’s there too, because the numeric keypad on top is terribly small and cramped.”

My thoughts:
The phone looks great but apparently there are issues with the battery. If you cannot keep it on the charger at your desk or in the car, you may have problems.

What Nokia Says
“The highly anticipated Nokia N97, Nokia’s flagship mobile computer, will begin selling in June in more than 75 countries. Along with a tilting 3.5″ touch display, QWERTY keyboard and a fully customizable home screen, the Nokia N97 will offer instant access to the full range of Ovi services.

“The Nokia N97 is an important step towards our vision of delivering a highly personalized Internet experience,” said Jonas Geust, Vice President and head of Nokia Nseries. “Fuelled by a multitude of music, maps, games, media and applications via Ovi, the Nokia N97 transforms the Internet into an experience that’s completely tailored to the tastes and interests of its owner.”

The Nokia N97 is Nokia’s first device to feature a personalizable home screen, which can be customized with a range of widgets which bring live information directly to the device. These widgets include key social networking destinations like Facebook and Hi5, news services like the Associated Press, Bloomberg and Reuters, as well as shopping and weather information. The Nokia N97 is the first device to ship with the Ovi Store, which offers easy access to applications, games, videos, podcasts, productivity tools, web and location-based services, and much more. Ovi Store has paid and free content from a range of global and local content providers and developers, including Paramount Pictures, Facebook and Qik, as well as a selection of Twitter applications.”

What other people are saying
“Before sifting through the features that will make the N97 unique, let’s start by acknowledging that the N97 has everything the N96 has: HSDPA, Wi-Fi, A-GPS, Bluetooth and the growing range of Nokia Ovi content services. It also sports a 5-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and a 3.5mm headphone jack conveniently located on the top of the handset.

Now to the juicy bits. The centrepiece of this “multi-sensory” mobile phone is a 3.5-inch touchscreen with 640×360 resolution, or what Nokia describes as nHD — higher res than WQVGA but less than VGA. This is more pixels than the iPhone, but significantly lower than the res of the displays on the HTC Touch HD and the Xperia X1. Hopefully, this results in a better battery life than some of the competition, which will also be helped by the massive 1500mAh battery included with the phone.

The landscape slider form factor isn’t new to the Finns, its E90 Communicator featured the same profile and we liked how it was implemented into that phone when we reviewed it in late 2007. It’s very difficult to tell from the early images how well designed the QWERTY keyboard is, but our opinion is that a badly designed
QWERTY pad is better than the alternatives, particularly on-screen keyboards.

But the big news is its 32GB of internal storage plus microSD memory card expansion. Like megapixels in cameras, storage is fast becoming the defining feature between competing smartphones, and with a possible 48GB of storage the N97 is well ahead of the pack.”

What I think:

Personally, I am an Iphone person, but I am very excited about the N97- more excited than I have been about any Nokia phone in a long time. The specs and the features look great!

What others are saying.

Most of what makes this phone exciting is due to its design; the screen, camera and controls. Under the hood is a standard range of top-end phone hardware including HSDPA and Wi-Fi. In Australia there will be two variations on the dual-band 3G radios, one featuring 900/2100MHz compatibility and an 850MHz version for Telstra customers. It also features a GPS receiver, but the review unit we’ve seen doesn’t include a dedicated navigation software, only Google Maps for location searches.

What I think

I haven’t played with one of this phones yet, but I must say I am a little disappointed. Samsung usually bring out great handsets but this handset appears to me to be in no mans land.

I am trying to get my hands on a demo model and will let you know my thoughts.

Having said that, if you are convinced that this handset is the handset for you, get in touch with me. I will give you a great price.

What’s Apple Says:

iPhone is more than just a phone. It combines three devices in one: a revolutionary mobile phone, a widescreen iPod, and a breakthrough Internet device. All that and more makes it the best phone you’ll ever use.

What others are saying:

“Speed is the central upgrade here, and probably is the single biggest reason you would upgrade to a 3GS from a 3G.”

What I think:

I love my Iphone 3G and I am definitely upgrading to the 3GS as soon as I can get one. Having said that, the Iphone is not for everybody so I would suggest that you get in touch with me and we can discuss your needs.

The new Palm® Pre™ phone is always thinking ahead to make your life easier. Pre pulls your different online calendars into one view, bringing you the information you want without having to search for it. Pre links your contacts from different sources, giving you one place to find what you need. And Pre delivers incoming messages1 and notifications in an intuitively subtle way, letting you react or respond however you want. People, events, information that matters. With Palm Pre, it’ll come to you.

Palm has been floundering for a while with attacks on all sides from Apple, from Blackberry and from HTC. They were once the company to go to but they have fallen off the radar for many people.

The Palm Pre sees them coming back with a vengeance. It has all the features that you could want in a neat little package.

I think that we will find that this is an extremely popular handset.

The Blackberry Bold handset is one of the most popular handsets on the market. It looks good and it has many great features.

Despite its popularity, there are many people who do not utilize its features to their full capabilities as outlined below. I have articulated some typing tips below to help you improve your Blackberry Bold usage:

To Insert a period- Press the Space Key twice. The next letter you type will be capitalized.
To Capitalise a letter- You need to hold your letter key until it is capitalized.
To Type the Alternate Character on a Key- You need to hold the alt key and then the character key.
To Type an accented or special character- You need to hold the letter key and roll trackball to the left or right. Release the letter key when accented or special character appears.

When typing a number in a number field you will not need to hold the alt key. When typing a number in a password field, you will have to hold the alt key.

These tips will help improve your Blackberry Bold usage. Over the coming days and weeks, I will give you more advice on how you can better utilise your handset.

Many people think about purchasing their own greyhound. Unfortunately many of those that do consider getting involved in this fun and exciting industry baulk at purchasing a greyhound outright themselves. For those who are keen but have some concerns, greyhound syndicates may be a great option. Here’s why.

• Increase investment potential- If you get involved in a greyhound syndicate, you can increase your investment potential. The reason for this is that you can pool your money together with your friends and buy a better dog than you could if you were just using your own money.
• Buy more than one dog- If you get in a syndicate with your mates and you pool your money together, it is possible that you and your mates could get more than one greyhound. This gives you a better chance of getting a winner.
• You can look at breeding syndicates- Until recently, greyhound breeding syndicates were not popular but they are becoming more and more so. With a breeding syndicate you can realise profits more quickly whilst also covering your costs for any greyhound puppies that you may keep for yourself.

Don’t miss out on the opportunity to get involved in a greyhound syndicate. Start talking to your mates today.

I love technology. Everyday there is something invented that will make our lives easier. One of the things that excites me most, as a regular international traveler, is the improvements in technology regarding international roaming- all designed to save you money when you keep in touch with friends, family and colleagues back home.

• An International SIM Card- No longer do you need to take your home mobile phone with you and worry about large roaming charges. No longer do you need a pocket full of SIM cards- one for every country you travel to. You can buy an International SIM card and keep in touch for a fraction of what it would cost you to use your home mobile. Most people save between 70 and 90%.
• A smart phone with WiFI- Many smart phones are now built with WiFI adaptors meaning that you can connect to wireless networks at hotspots. This makes it easy to download and read your emails without incurring GPRS roaming charges and without having to worry about carrying a laptop.
• Skype or some other VoIP program downloaded to your phone- If you have one of the WiFI enabled smart phones that I mentioned above, chances are that you will be able to download Skype or another VoIP program which enables you to make calls whilst you are in a hotspot for a fraction of the cost of roaming charges.

It is possible to travel and stay in touch conveniently without incurring a huge international roaming bill. Following the tips I have mentioned above will put you in good stead.

Make Mobile Roaming Charges a thing of the past with an International SIM Card.
