Nokia N75

Nokia N75

Another of Nokia’s N-series phones is the Nokia N75. This is one of the latest phones from Nokia with great specifications. It possesses a large 2.4 QVGA (240 x 320 pixels) color display with up to 16M colors letting you enjoy browsing pictures and videos taken from its 3.2 megapixel camera. Capture moments as it can save upto 2500 photos and record upto 250 minutes of video.

Easily share these photos and videos either thru bluetooth or infrared connectivity. It also has an interface for USB 2.0 connectivity. It uses RealPlayer as its primary media player. It has a dimension of 3.74 x 2.05 x 0.80 inches weighing at 4.36 ounces . Another useful application is its use of Microsoft applications as you can open Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files plus PDF and ZIP files.

 But hopefully, Nokia would include a headset in the future since most mobile phones are now used as MP3 players.

3G technology…Cool?

3G (third generation) technology provides the ability to transfer both voice and non-voice data for mobile phones. It makes transfer of data faster, meaning faster web browsing, emails, or instant messaging in your phone. One of the best applications offered by 3G technology is Video Telephony.

Imagine talking to your loved one and seeing her at the same time just through your phone. This is why most 3G capable phones offer two cameras, one beside your LCD screen. Yeah it’s cool alright, but I watched this advertisement of a 3G capable phone where a boss was calling one of his employees who didn’t go to work. The employee was at the mall. Since it was a video call, the boss would see where his employee was. So the employee needs to find a bedroom store and lie in a bed before answering the phone. Now, is it still cool? Not always!

HTC MTeoR 3G Review

HTC MTeoR 3GThe MTeoR is headlined as the first 3G Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 Smatphone, and is one of two new phones from HTC.

Looking a lot like something from Motorola, the MTeoR is a candy bar design that weighs in at 120g. Pocket-lint takes a look at this European phone.

However its thin credentials and name is where the similarities stop. The MTeoR sports a very large 2.2-inch crisp and bright TFT display as well as a 1.3 megapixel camera, however not a second camera for video calling.

However while the screen is perhaps its most impressive element visually, the phone somehow manages packs an entire OS into is shell.

The HTC MTeoR features Windows Mobile 5.0 and that means, Direct Push technology for immediate synchronization of email, calendar and notes plus document viewers for PDF, Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

In the end you get a phone that is worth an 8 out of 10 on their rating scale thanks to its 3G functionality, slim shape and its ability to run Windows Mobile 5.

3G - changing social habits

A study commissioned by British 3G cellular provider 3 has come up with interesting ideas involving the use of the new technology, as BBC reports.

3G will change the way people socialize, the study concludes. Because of the way people are able to exchange data such as digital imagery and video, mobile users tend to utilise their handsets to “document their lives,” among a host of other uses that previously were only figments of the imagination.

Increasing use of 3G mobile phones can change the way people communicate and create new social trends and tribes, a behavioural study has suggested.

The study said the combination of still and video cameras on modern phones, and the advent of high speed data transfer, can inspire a generation of users.

The new class of mobile users is now called Generation C, with C standing in for “content.” The wired–and wireless–world is, after all, moving into this era called “Web 2.0,” where content is king and prosumers rule, meaning, we ourselves generate the content we consume. And it’s no longer just the news that matters, but the conversations that go about them are even more important.

But these changes are likely to come full circle when the current generation of phones and mobile technologies (such as GSM) wane in popularity, and get replaced by newer systems. Then, of course, cultural factors may also bar any of these behavioural changes from happening anytime soon, as our present set of mobile users have grown fond of talking and texting and are not likely to switch to videoconferencing that easily.

At any rate, any new technology that gets popular enough is likely to change how people socialize. Take email, for instance, or even the telephone. The world is evolving, and whatever benefits 3G has in store for us is part of all that. Pretty soon I’d expect everyone to be communicating by telepathy!
