Sony Ericsson G900

without comments

Sony Ericsson G900:
This is smartphone, which strongly whisks away to the usual cell phone, but oppressed by functions “under the string” - has sensory screen, the 5 Mpx camera and Wi-Fi. The Last 2 special features are key differences from the low-order model, and precisely for them it is proposed to pay to 3000 rubles more.
Smartphone is monoblock with the sizes compact for similar devices, at the first sight to distinguish it from the common telephone is complicated.
The capacity of the battery is 950 microampere per hour, which ensures the sufficiently long operating time for smartphone, in this index the apparatus is close to the common telephones. Depending on intension of using it is necessary to charge the storage battery every 1-3 days. Declared operating time in the regime of conversation in the networks UMTS - 4 hours, with the usual bells - to 12 hours, in the mode of standby - 380 hours; the duration of video call - to 2,5 hours.
Signals
Line signals, as MP3- files, sound loudly and qualitatively, so that pass bell will be complex. It happens because of the polyphonic dynamic loudspeaker, which is located on the rear panel of gadget. Vocal dynamic loudspeaker also did not bring, and it sufficiently loud for the conversations under the noisy conditions.
Display
TFT, 240×320 of points, 2.4 “, 262144 colors
Camera 5 Mp, the video recording
The permission of camera composes 5 Mp, it is the first Sony Ericsson telephone with a similar matrix, not relating to the CyberShot series. The quality of photographs is a little bit worse than competitors ones, they are obtained somewhat pale.
Additional camera
Additional camera is intended for the phonovision system, to make photographs with its aid is impossible. Eye is located above the display, it is very small and practically imperceptible.
The built-in memory
The capacity of built-in storage is 160 Mb, in practice entire it is accessible for the user files.
The expansion of memory card
The memory cards slot has the M2 size and is located on the left lateral side of apparatus, under the rear cover. This arrangement is easy to understand, in comparison with G700 the thickness of sideband is reduced. In spite of the support of hot replacement, to produce it is inconvenient. And frequent opening of rear cover can lead to its breakdown, because of its small thickness and weak catches.
Communications
Wire communications are achieved through the joint Of FastPort. It is located on the left lateral side, next to the memory card slot. Near the official indicator is located, which burns with green during the charging, and also it blinks if there are the passed calls or unread massages. With the connection to PK it is possible to select the mode of operation - modem or detachable disk. In this case the recharging from the USB- port proceeds. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi answer for the wireless connections. They work stably, problems with the tuning and the using do not appear.
Applications
Besides the standard applications the programs for reading and editing of office documents, and also for scanning and recognition of residency cards (only in the English) are established.
Pluses:
Compact housing, high functionality, convenient interface
Minuses:
The memory card slot is located under the cover, the EDGE is absent
Resume:
Smartphone came out completely good and functional, and furthermore, compact. It cost 17000 rubles at the moment of the beginning of sales, what does not appear very high, to compare with 40000 rubles (such the cost of the first copies Of P990 was - progress is present, smartphones become much more accessible). But if the 5-[Mp] camera and support Of Wi-Fi is not necessary, then it is worthwhile to focus attention on G700, which at the moment of writing article costs for 3000 rubles cheaper. The interesting question is further development of G - line, indeed reserve of the functionality still exists - for example, GPS- module for many would be useful, also the new version of operating system is on the approach. However G900 has high index, model G1 will be hardly released by analogy with a P- series, this series has another designation. It is more to expect functional smartphone with the indices P3 or P5, rumors about which have walked already long ago.

Nokia N73 ME

without comments

Nokia N73 ME
Several years ago the title of “the model of year” was appropriated to successful telephone, but today is time to introduce titles “the telephone of month” and even “telephone of week” - so frequently novelties began to appear. Unconditional leader on the interest of the public of recent seven days became multimedia computer Nokia N73 ME. Still - the exceptional quality of photo, imposing electronic “muscles”, the complete set of entertainments and the third version of the S60 platform, and all this is in the compact “telephone” housing. Perhaps, it is the mobile device of new generation.
Standard: GSM 900/1800/1900 + 3G (WCDMA 2100 (speed of transmission of package data comes to 384 kbit/s).
Overall sizes: 110x 49x 19 mm
Weight: 116 g
Class: high- tech
At first glance N73 looks like usual smartphone from Nokia; however, there are several essential differences from the predecessors, which makes it possible to place “device” on the new step of the development of mobile constructing. At the current moment on the relationship “functional/physical size” Nokia N73 is the unconditional leader: developers made possible maximally, as soon as this possibly, to equip with electronics the cubic centimeters of apparatus. So, not a bit without being inferior to predecessors, but in something substantially exceeding them in the technical plan, Nokia N73 looks like “common” telephone. For the sake of fairness it is worthwhile to note that N73 is not the most compact smartphone, but it is the most functional of the compact.
Apparatus is equipped with TFT- screen by the permission of 240×320 points and support of 262144 colors. This is far from news - for example, by the same matrix is completed the telephone- slider Nokia 6270 and the smartphone - book Nokia N71. Judging by the characteristics, Nokia N93 is also equipped with a similar screen; however, the quality of the display of the latter visually differs to the best side, possibly, because of the absent of shielding glass.
The screen perceives itself comfortably in the sun, the angles of survey are large - picture is well visible. But in comparison with N93 it appears a little washed away.
USB cable enters into complete set and makes possible to work with PK in different regimes: “The playback of muktimedia”, PC Suite, “the transmission of data” and PictBridge (printout of photographs). If “the transmission of data” is selected, Windows XP automatically defines device as Mass Storage Device.
Base complete set:
• Apparatus
• Standard battery BL-6M
• Charger ACP-12E
• Wire stereo-set HS-23
• USB- cable CA -53
• Adapter CA -44
• Software DVD-ROM
• The hand belt CP-84
• The rub material
• The management of user
• Other telephones and smartphones compete with Nokia N73 ME not so actively.
Pluses:
Outstanding camera, convenient shutter, convenient tuning, compact “telephone” housing, outstanding “living” 3d- sound
Minuses:
The formulation of housing has not metallic elements, joystick is not very successful, there is no memory card in the complete set, the little encountered card format (miniSD)
Resume:
In its class the apparatus is characterized by the leading relationship “physical size/functional”, especially it concerns to photography - quality of photographs thus far highest on the market among the mobile devices. The deficiencies in the apparatus, that we found, are easily corrected: soon we will see the new multimedia computers, by which the producer will consider the wishes of users. But N73 ME by itself is not bad - perhaps, it is the best smartphone from Nokia from those, that were on the test.
