Nokia 5610 XpressMusic: Pros & Cons

Nokia XpressMusic is one of the most contending series Nokia ever came up with. The company’s idea of designing high quality music phones for music fans was yet a hard job. The company started up with two sliders Nokia 5200 XpressMusic and Nokia 5300 XpressMusic. Both the phones couldn’t mark their position in the market due to their ‘non-exclusive’ features, similar design and a bit high price. This was the first wave of XpressMusic series. About six months back, Nokia launched two new phones in the XpressMusic series; Nokia 5310 XpressMusic and Nokia 5610 XpressMusic. Nokia 5310 XpressMusic being a sleek monoblock made a proper place in the heart of the ladies & Nokia 5610 XpressMusic was yet another slider. You might be thinking about what’s the reason behind launching three sliders in one year from the same series. There is no actual mystery behind it else then this that the company wants to create such device which may look more like a portable music player. The difference Nokia made in the second wave is that the company replaced the white color from XpressMusic phones with Kelvin Black. This replacement added more sensational look to the 2nd wave.

Nokia 5610 XpressMusic is slider with a 3.2 megapixel camera. The phone has a rectangular design. There are no music keys on the side of the screen (which were previously used in Nokia 5300 XpressMusic). The top panel of the phone is made up of metal and the back housing is made up of plastic have a dotted texture. The sliding mechanism seems more strong and efficient than the previous XpressMusic sliders. The people who love music love this phone not only because of it design but for the major reason that this phone actually gave a ‘supreme standard’ to XpressMusic series. Nokia 5610 XpressMusic being ‘the king’ is powered by S40 3rd Version Firmware. The firmware is fast and efficient. The screen of the phone is a TFT which can display vibrant colors. On the right side of the phone, we have the camera and the volume keys (which can be used for zooming in the camera viewfinder). In spite of having so many good features, the users are experiencing some flaws in the phone. These flaws are quiet technical and practical as well. The ‘Cons’ are as under:

1· The phone sometimes behaves ‘dead’ when power saver and sleep mode is turned on simultaenously.

2· The music sliding key (which is placed above the soft keys) gets loose on continuous usage.

3· The front camera can only be used in the video calling mode.

4· The music quality in the headset is ‘treble influenced’.

5· The quality of the accessories doesn’t match with the phone.

6· The main camera has a dual OLED Flash, which behaves violently in the dark.

7· The phone captures the photo in at least 3.5 seconds.

8· No red-eye reduction mode.

9· The flash is turned off when the focus is set in the camera viewfinder. (Un-continuous flash)

10· On zooming the size of the photo is reduced (in-short the zooming and cropping of image takes place at the same time).

11· The screen catches finger-prints and dust very quickly.

12· The built-in Opera Mini browser works slow on the phone.

The above mentioned points are the problems faced by the costumers. The first point is an “interaction problem” the software mingles up with the hardware and as a result of it the consumers face this ‘sleeping problem’ with their Nokia 5610 XpressMusic phones. The company replaced the music keys with a music sliding key. This sliding key can be used to frequently interact with the music player, radio and the desktop even if you are in the main menu. On continuous use, this key becomes loose and begins to work improperly. The third point I mentioned above is about the front camera. Well the fact is that, 55 % of the costumers who spent 180-190 Euros on this phone don’t even know that it has two cameras and it can only be used when you make a video-call. The fourth point I mentioned above is something which I personally noticed, the sound quality is good but it has more treble. Even if you set the equalizer the sound will have that ‘treble tinge’ in it. The manufacturer has provided a dual-OLED flash to lighten up the 3.2 megapixel camera in the dark. In such light conditions where we really need a flash, the flash behaves too violently. The range of the flash is good but it would have been a better idea if the manufacturer had placed a single OLED flash in it. In dark close-up conditions, the captured image gets ‘totally white’. Another flaw, I mentioned above about the camera is that the phone takes at least 3.5 seconds in focusing, capturing and saving the image. The flash has two options (Automatic and On) but there is no difference whether you turn on the Automatic flash or you just set it to ‘On’. Although Nokia 5610 XpressMusic has a 3.2 megapixel camera but it has no Red-Eye Reduction mode. In the camera viewfinder, after focusing the flash is turned off immediately and on capturing the image the flash flashes twice which is actually a good option but it turn things ‘extremely white’. Another flaw, I stated above is one conventional problem of Nokia S40 phones, On zooming the picture size gets small. Nokia 5610 XpressMusic being the ‘leader’ of the S40 phones have the same flaw. The second last flaw is that the manufacturer has provided a ‘scratch-free’ cover of the display but it catches dust, stains and especially fingerprints very quickly. Sometimes, the users really need to clean-up the screen before ‘Turning into the groove’. The last flaw I personally observed is that the phone gets very slow while surfing the web using Opera Mini Browser.

Nokia 5610 XpressMusic is the most advanced S40 phones Nokia ever made. All the flaws I mentioned are based upon user reviews and my personal experiences. These flaws may vary in different regions and firmware editions. In few months, may be the company minimizes these flaws by installing a new firmware in the upcoming shipments.

Apple, Cons, iPhone, Pros

Thinking of buying the Apple iPhone but not sure if you should. Should you wait for something better to hit the market? There are some pros and cons to this new and extraordinary gadget that should be considered before purchasing it.
Why you should not buy the iPhone
The iPhone does have its flaws and disadvantages like many modern electrical devices. There are many articles on the internet giving copious amount of advice on why you should not buy the iPhone and as many outlining their faults. But here I will summaries some of the more important drawbacks the phone has.
The game of Sudoku can be played by children and adults as the rules are simple to learn.
Sudoku does not require calculation or mathematical skill. It uses the simple rule of logic and deduction.
1. In the USA you have to subscribe to a 2 year plan with AT&T at a price in which they decide and you may not like.
2. To activate the phone on another network outside the USA could possibly cause damage to the phone.
3. Apple uses 2.5g edge network so web browsing can be extremely slow.
4. Apple iPhone does not support flash so you will not be able to use some sites.
5. There is a lack of applications and not all third party applications are supported by the iPhone .The only way you can install the applications is by hacking the phone.
Why you should by the iPhone
1. You can browse the web comfortably
2. Listen to music, it is said that the iPhone is the best for listening to tunes. Plus it will work with the hundreds of iPod speakers and other accessories.
3. Watch videos, or movies
4. Use it as a phone and the iPhone has built-in WiFi and Bluetooth
5. Some people believe that the phone is as good as having a laptop sidestepping the problem of lack of applications by unlocking the phone and placing hacked files on there
6. It is extremely hip and trendy making you the envy of all your friends. This phone has a large, beautiful, and bright screen, which is all the more surprising since it’s a touch-screen, which is usually less vivid. The screen measures 3.5 inches across, bigger than just about anything made for the hand. The page orientation changes when the iPhone is tipped on its side, allowing you to see Web sites, videos, maps and photos in landscape mode. Multi-touch is a fantastic feature for zooming in and out and panning.
7. With the coming release of the iPhone 3 g process are bound to drop.
8. The phone comes with all the elements of a smart phone, including an address book, calendar, maps, notes, and, of course, E-mail.
With a price drop on the way why not consider the Apple iPhone for your next mobile purchase.

Honest Google Assassin Review: Pros and Cons

Google Optimization Tags

Assassin, Cons, google, Honest, Pros, Review

Perhaps you’ve heard about the new affiliate marketing membership site called “Google Assassin”. It has created quite a bit of shock waves in the internet marketing world lately. And if you visit the sales page, you will understand why. It’s perhaps one of the BEST sales copy you’ve ever seen in internet marketing.

But if you have been on the internet marketing bandwagon for some period of time, you know that the main objective of a sales copy is to SELL. What’s said or promised in the sales copy may NOT be the same as what you will get in the actual product. You can assume that 99% of the sales copies in the internet marketing world are like that, and Google Assassin is no exception. So please keep this in mind when you read the sales page. So, don’t get too excited and carried away by your emotions.

I am not saying that Google Assassin is a scam. What I am trying to say is that it is NOT a perfect product but it does have some excellent features that are of great help for the beginners. I have used and explored most of the features in the member site and I like to provide an honest review here, including the pros and cons.

First up, Google Assassin is more suitable for the beginners. If you’re an experienced internet marketers, you will feel that most of the features and tools are too basic for you. You may have already been using it everyday. But if you’re a beginner, this basic is crucial for your success right from the beginning. Because you will learn the RIGHT way (step-by-step) how to tackle a market, research its profit potential, and create successful online marketing campaigns.

In my personal opinion, the most powerful BENEFIT for the beginners is the “automation”. For example, most beginners have no idea how to do the following tasks:

- how to pick the right product to promote,

- how to perform keyword research,

- how to build a review website based on the researched keywords,

- how to create a PPC campaign based on the researched keywords.

The good news is that Google Assassin has automated these tasks for you with just a few clicks of the button. For example, in order to create a campaign, you just need to click on the “New Campaign” button and then select whether you want to create “Link Campaign” or “Website Campaign”. If you select “website campaign”, Google Assassin will then create a review web page for you. The automation can save you a lot of time. NOTE: Google Assassin also has its own powerful keyword research tool, spy tool and products selection tool. I’m not going to cover these tools here. You can read about them in my blog at http://ebuzzone.blogspot.com

Besides the automation, another benefit for the beginner is the Google Assassin’s “Affiliate Blueprints Coaching”. If you happen to join the membership, you MUST go to this area and read these two training courses: “Slash Your AdWords Cost By Up To 70%” and “Article Marketing For 2007″. There are some great secrets revealed in these courses and I’m sure they can also benefit the experienced marketers. After you go through these courses, you will have a clearer picture on the whole money-making process and how the Assassin’s tools connect together to help you create successful marketing campaigns.What I don’t like about Google Assassin?

I have one complaint for this product. It doesn’t have a member FORUM inside. I really hope that they will add this feature in the near future because I feel forum is very important so that knowledge can be shared among the members. And forum is also a great avenue for the members to give feedbacks or inputs to the owner for further improvement or enhancement to the product if necessary. Google Assassin will certainly be a stronger product if it has a member forum inside the member area.

Last but not least, please understand that although Google Assassin has many tools that can help you to automate many activities, you still need to spend time and effort to learn and do. You need to get your hands dirty, if you don’t take actions, nothing will happen. Please always keep that in mind.

Web Design – The Pros And Cons Of Flash

admin

Web Marketing Tags

Cons, design, flash, Pros

Firstly what is flash? Well Flash refers to both the Macromedia Flash Player and to a multimedia authoring program used to create content it (such as games and movies). The Flash Player is a client application available in most web browsers. It features support for vector and raster graphics, a scripting language called ActionScript and bidirectional streaming of audio and video.
Macromedia Flash is the integrated development environment (IDE) and Flash Player is the virtual machine used to run the Flash files, but nowadays these terms have become mixed: “Flash” can mean either the authoring environment, the player, or the application files.
Since its introduction in 1996, Flash technology has become a very popular method for adding animation and interactivity to web pages. Flash can be used to create fantastic animations; to design web-page elements and also to add video to web sites. Websites made with flash can be much more interactive and flashier (pardon the pun) than site made with only html.
The Flash files, or “flash movies”, usually have a .swf file extension and may appear as an element of a web page or to be “played” in the standalone Flash Player.
Due to wide usage of Flash in web advertisements and the extra time it takes to load these pages, tools have emerged for blocking Flash content in some or all web sites, or temporarily or permanently turning Flash Player off, such as FlashBlock and Adblock for the Mozilla Firefox browser.
If Flash has been disabled in a web browser then users may be unable to access some Flash-dependent websites, or may experience a degraded user interface.
Using Flash content stores the content of the web page in a binary file and since Flash uses animations, the design of the page is not static. These factors make Flash-based content unsuitable for indexing by search engines.
‘Misuse’ of Flash software has led to the creation of a new industry term “Flashterbation,” where the technology is used in a way that lacks customer focus.
