About the phone -

Welcome to the new true digital TV Services for mobile phones. The Samsung u620 comes with bright QVGA screen, 1.3 megapixel camera, microSD card slot, Bluetooth and V CAST content support. The Samsung is a dual band digital CDMA phone that works 1x voice networks and it has EVDO support for fast data. While it has all the features that make the phone comparable to other high-end V CAST feature phones, the Samsung u620 offers the unique convergence of mobile phone and mobile digital TV.

What exactly is Mobile TV?

No, it's not the usual V Cast video clips, in fact the service doesn't use the phone's data connection. Rather it's digital broadcast TV over-the-air, much in the same way traditional TV broadcast works. This means that phones like the LG VX9400 and the Samsung U620 have tiny TV tuners and not so tiny antennas that you'll telescope up when you want to watch TV. Like regular TV, you'll see a TV programming grid when you press the dedicated TV button, and channel programming is always running in real time: there's no on-demand or DVR. This means you'll need to catch your favorite show when it's broadcast, and it means content is always changing, unlike stale video clips. The schedule doesn't match regular local TV broadcasts.

Design and Ergonomics



The Samsung u620 is a slider phone that feels extremely comfortable in hand thanks to its curved, nearly egg-like shape. The Samsung u620 has a bright display that can play TV shows in landscape mode, a compact form that fits your hand, easy to use
keypad, d-pad and menu controls and much smaller antenna compared to the one on the LG VX9400. You have easy access to the microSD card and the 2.5mm standard headset jack located on the left side of the phone.

On the back of the Samsung, you will find the 1.3 megapixel camera with flash and self-portrait mirror.

Quick-launch hardware buttons include loudspeaker button, camera/camcorder, mobile TV and volume rocker. The charging/syncing port is Samsung’s proprietary connector located on the bottom of the phone.

Phone Features and Reception

Reception -

The Samsung u620 is digital dual band (800/1900 MHz) CDMA phone with EVDO for data. The signal quality is godd enough for reception in area with lower network strength.

Music -

Music playback sounds much better than the in-call voice quality on the Samsung. The DSP is a bit weak and as result your call recipients will hear wind noise and road noise more. The dual-side stereo speakers work great for conference calls.

Calling features -

The Samsung u620 support most common phone features including 3-way conference call, call waiting, call mute/unmute, speakerphone and speed dialing. The Samsung u620 offers an uncommonly high number of speed dials and you can assign 999 speed dials to the phone. When in Contacts, you can select a number and press the Option button to assign speed dial slot. The Samsung also offer multi-tasking when in a call. You can take notes, record calls, send SMS messages and more while talking on the phone.

Browser -

The WAP browser has good speed when accessing WAP sites.The browser can also display non-WAP sites that have full HTML formats and content. It will display all content on a full HTML page in a single column and images and links work well. Unlike
the superb mobile web browser on Nokia S60 devices such as the Nokia E62, the WAP browser on the Samsung doesn’t work with most Javascript and dHTML.


Display and Mobile TV

The Samsung u620 has a 2” TFT LCD that’s capable of displaying 262K colors. But images look sharp and colorful on the Samsung, and games look very color saturated. You can change the screen brightness and contrast using the Settings & Tools menu
Watching digital mobile TV is a joy on the Samsung. You can launch the mobile TV program grid by pressing the menu button on lower right side of the u620. TV shows look amazingly sharp and don’t have the blockiness and frame drops you see in V CAST videos. When in good digital mobile TV coverage areas, the picture is so sharp that you can clearly see the actor’s hair strands and even eye lashes. Picture quality will degrade in marginal coverage areas such as in large buildings, and you will see blockiness in the pictures and frame drops.

Multimedia

The Samsung u620 comes with a basic media player that supports MP3 and WMA format songs.he download speed for songs isn’t the fastest. You can also play your own MP3s by syncing them to the phone via desktop PC (using Windows Media Player) or by putting the tunes on microSD card in the “my_music” folder.

The package doesn’t include a USB cable to sync with PC, you will need to buy it separately. Before copying songs to the card, use the phone to format the card so it creates the proper directories, including the “my_music” folder. The audio quality is excellent through either the built-in stereo speakers on the Samsung, through Samsung’s own wired stereo headset (not included) or via Bluetooth stereo headset. The sound is clear and full with great bass. If you’re into playing MP3s on your phone, the Samsung u620 will not disappoint in terms of sound quality.

Gaming -

Gaming is a pleasure on the Samsung u620. The D-pad and numbers are easy to use as game controls.

Camera -

Camera seems to be a down side of the Samsung u620. It sports just a 1.3mpx camera whereas these days even entry level phones are striving for atleast 2mpx cameras.

Bluetooth -

The Samsung u620 has Bluetooth v1.2 and supports Headset Profile, Hands-Free Profile, A2DP, Dial-Up Network (DUN) Profile, Object Push Profile (for vCard and vCal) and Serial Port Profile. Voice dialing and voice command via Bluetooth headset work like a charm. But the Bluetooth doesnt seem to be as strong as on other phones.

Battery Life -

The Samsung u620 comes with a standard Lithium-Ion battery that’s user replaceable. The included 3.7v rechargeable battery is 1000 mAh in capacity (model: AB553446GZ) and that’s a respectable amount of juice for a phone that has mobile TV in addition to a full set of features that are comparable to other high-end V CAST feature phones. The claimed talk time is 3.5 hours and standby time is 250 hours (both estimates exclude any digital mobile TV time).

Software -

The Samsung u620 has a Flash user interface and the same menu interface found on most recent V CAST phones. The Samsung comes with PIM applications including Contacts, Calendar, Notepad, File Viewer, alarm clock, World Time, stopwatch and calculator. The contacts database can store up to 500 entries and each entry can have up to 5 phone numbers and 2 email addresses. You can assign groups, ringtones, caller IDs, speed dials and add notes to contacts entries. The calendar program offers monthly view, weekly and day view and supports recurrences and alerts. You can have up to 8 events per day. For messaging, the Samsung offers SMS, MMS and web-based email


Pros:

1. More pocket-able than the LG TV phone
2. Very good ergonomics
3. Speedy in most tasks
4. Excellent mobile TV performance
5. Good display that can go landscape when in TV programs and in some games.
6. Great music playback quality.

Con:

1. Reception isn’t the strongest
2. EVDO services can be spotty in not-well covered areas.
3. Camera has surprisingly poor performance.
4. Battery life is just so-so.


Conclusion -

If you want to jump on the cell-evision wagon and you are in one of the digital mobile TV coverage areas, the Samsung u620 is one of the two choices at the moment. The small size and comfy form means you don’t have to get a bigger device just because you want an added feature. The performance for mobile TV is excellent and the device feels zippy in gaming and application launches. The audio quality for music playback is outstanding. For mobile multimedia buffs, the Samsung u620 has a lot to offer.

Blackberry Curve 8300

BLACKBERRY CURVE 8300 - REVIEW FOR APPROVAL

The new BlackBerry seems to be a blend of Pearl and 8800. It is definitely NOT AN ONLY BUSINESS PHONE.






About the phone -

Form Factor Candybar;

Performance -

The BlackBerry Curve runs on a 312MHz Intel XScale processor.As with most Berries, the Curve is responsive and performs most tasks with good speed. The BlackBerry 8300 has 32 megs of RAM (used like RAM in your computer) and 64MB of flash memory for storage. Before loading data and applications, the Curve has 21.8 megs of free storage. When you first setup the phone, it will ask you if you wish to delete languages other than English, and after doing so you will have 21.8 megs of free memory.


Operating Frequency and Reception quality -
Quadband - GSM 850, 900, 1800 , 1900;

The BlackBerry has EDGE for data but unfortunately no 3G.
Call quality is good and volume is loud by GSM standards.
The speakerphone is clear and loud. The Curve has good but
not stellar reception.

As such it is not recommended for areas with marginal coverage.

Connectivity -
HSCSD, WLAN, IRDA - No

GPRS, EDGE , BlueTooth , USB - Yes


Dimensions -



Height (mm) 107
Width (mm) 60
Depth (mm) 15.5
Weight (g) 111 g

Battery -
Standard battery, Li-Ion 1100 mAh
Standbytime (h) Up to 408 h
Talktime (m) Up to 4 h

The Curve has an 1100 mAh Lithium Ion battery that's user replaceable. It ships with RIM's standard world-friendly charger with fold-down prongs. As with most GSM BlackBerry phones, the Curve has excellent battery life (being EDGE-only helps). Push email generally greatly reduces battery life on competing smartphone platforms, but somehow RIM manages to give us phones that last 2 to 3 days on a charge. Claimed talk time is 5 hours. Standby is 22 days-- very long by smartphone standards.

Messaging -
SMS Yes
Email Yes
MMS Yes

Camera -
Camera Yes, 2MP,
1600 x 1200 pixels
Video recording Yes
LED flash and self portrait mirror

The Curve features a 2 megapixel camera with 5x digital zoom and a built-in flash along with a self-portrait mirror. The camera application offers three picture qualities and three still image resolutions (1600 x 1200, 1024 x 768, 640 x 480), and it uses the screen as the viewfinder. The photo quality isn’t the best you will see on a 2 megapixel camera, but photos have good amount of useful image data that can be corrected using Photoshop or RIM's photo editing tool on the desktop to yield a good image.

Display -
Color display, 65000 Colors
Display width (pixel) 320
Display height (pixel) 240
LCD Type Color
LCD Size (pixel) 320 x 240

Like the BlackBerry 8800 series of smartphones. the Curve has a QVGA (320 x 240) TFT display that’s very bright, colorful and crisp. It has a light sensor that adjusts to ambient lighting conditions, and you can turn this feature off -- though it works well except in near-dark rooms where the display sensor opted for too little backlight. The screen is capable of displaying 65k colors and is extremely bright at 100%; too bright! The screen is viewable outdoors, more so than Windows Mobile Professional (Pocket PC) and the Palm OS Treo PDA phones.

Memory -
64 MB flash memory with 21.8 megs available for storage and program installation.
Memory card not included
Supports microSD card slot


Multimedia -
Ringtones Polyphonic (32 channels), MP3
Polyphonic Yes

The Media Player application has been jazzed up with a skin compared to the 8800's dull media player. There are 4 icons for music, video, ringtone and photos viewing/listening. The music player has options for shuffle, genres, play by artist and play by album. The image viewer is fairly fast and you can use it to set any image as the home screen background. the ringtone manager at The media player plays MP3, AAC/AAC+/eAAC+ and WMA files. You can use the microSD card to store music and video. Sound is decent through the mono speaker and very good with the included 3.5mm stereo headset with inline mic.

Java & Games -
Games - Yes
Java - Yes
Voicedialing Yes

Misc. features -
Interface USB
Handsfree Yes
Vibrate Yes
Phonebook Capacity Yes, Photocall

BlackBerry Desktop software for PC included for syncing and software installation.

Sales Package -

Stereo Headset
USB Cable
Travel Charger (lots of connector options)
Leather Pouch
Software CD & Manual

PROS AND CONS

The Internet Service keeps a constant eye on whatever POP3 accounts you ask it to and delivers emails it spots to your BlackBerry as it retrieves them. Of course how rapid this is will depend in part on the efficiency of the sender's, and your own, email server(s) and in part on network coverage. Either way, you can force a check for new messages whenever you want to.

Pros -

1. Good Screen
2. Browser supports both - WAP and HTML
   
3. PEARL trackball navigation,
   
4. QWERTY Keypad,
   
5. 3.5mm headset jack
6. Spellchecker
   
7. 2MP Camera,
   
8. Small Size makes it comfortable to hold for voice calls
   
9. Stylish,
   
10. Blackberry Maps Application included
    
11. Well Priced - Arnd Rs. 24.5k

Cons -

1. No Memory Card Provided,
   
2. Memory Card not hot-swappable,
   
3. No Protection for Camera lens and flash.
4. Absence of GPS Antenna
5. As SIM card slot is under the battery, and so unfortunately is the microSD card slot, so you'll have to power down the phone to insert or remove a memory card

VERDICT - A GUD REPLACEMENT FOR OLDER BUSINESS PHONES

iPhone Without AT&T Quiet Possible

iPhone Without AT&T Quiet Possible

If you thought getting an iPhone without the AT&T service with it was not possible, then maybe you should think again. Now there is way a non tested way it seems by which you can get the iPhone without AT&T on it. There is however a way to go about doing it. All you need to do is a little of host file hacking then getting your hands on a little program called Phone Activation Server v1.0, and you're on your way to an AT&T service free iPhone. Sounds easy for the expert it seems and we sure do hope that it works in the near future after someone tries it.

And, if does not really work, then you can always use the iPhone as an iPod. Even in that situation it should rock.

Setup Adhoc WiFi Connection in Windows Vista

Vista allows you to create temporary networks for connecting wireless devices. No wireless access point required! This comes in handy when you need to transfer files to someone else's laptop in class or at a meeting. To create an Ad Hoc network, follow these steps:

1. Click the Start Button and select Control Panel.

2. Select Network and Internet. (If Control Panel is in Classic View, skip this step)

3. Open Network and Sharing Center.

4. Select Set up a connection or network (in the left pane).

5. In the resulting window, select Set up a wireless ad hoc (computer-to-computer) network.

6. Click Next and again on the following page.

7. In the Network name textbox, input a name for the network.

8. Select a security type from the dropdown. (If you select WEP, you will need to enter a security key in the unghosted textbox)

9. If you want to use this network more than once, check the Save this network checkbox, if you only need it for a one time fix, leave the checkbox unchecked.

10. Click Next.

11. Click Close.

Your network is now created and can be accessed by other computers in the same manner as connecting to a regular wireless connection. If you utilized WEP, then you will need to give them the security key. If you did not opt to save the network during creation, it will be deleted when everyone has disconnected from it.
