Nokia Here on iOS

Leave a reply

Nokia Here is a navigation app originally designed on Windows Phone,however,Nokia now has decided to expand it into iOS and Android free of charge.I believe a lot of iOS device users will definitely like it because Apple maps is still quite lousy in a number of places.

Nokia Here supports both iPhone and iPad with iOS 4.3 or later.The map is based on well-known NAVTEQ’s resources.It also supports community map in some countries so that users could add missing information by their own,updating the maps faster and more accurate.

The details of the features:

Upon my personal experience,I found Waze actually has more complete road information in Malaysia.Anyway,as Nokia Here is just born,it supposes to grow to be better in the coming future.

The Android version of Nokia Here is still under developing.I hope once it covers all major mobile platforms with more users,the map can become a strong competitor to Waze.

Nokia Lumia 920 & 820

Leave a reply

Nokia is experiencing a bad period and they are now trying hard to recapture some market shares.Yesterday,Nokia, cooperating with Microsoft,released their latest WP 8 phone Lumia 920 and 820.

Nokia Lumia 920 has a PureMotion HD+ 4.5″ screen with 332ppi for clearer and brighter display.It powers on Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 dual-core 1.5 Ghz Processor and Adreno 225 GPU(the same as HTC One XL),Nokia PureView 8.7 megapixels Camera,NFC and Wireless charger.

Let’s check out the official introduction:

I think most people are more interesting in the PureView Camera as it’s said to be working very well in low light environment with super wide angle.However,as the software of the phone is still under testing stage,I can’t get any samples now.

Talk about Nokia Lumia 820,actually it’s 70% of Nokia Lumia 920 with a bit lower specs.

The wireless charging shells have several colors to customize your phone.

You can check out the details of Lumia 920 and 820 in the official sub-sites.Up to now,no prices were revealed.I think they want to wait for new iPhone first,then only draft out a price which could compete with it.Is that a smart move?I don’t think so because it could waste some time advantage to occupy market shares.I just wish that Nokia will make the price really attractive.

The latest promotion from Umobile was just popped out 2 days ago.It’s buy one free one promotion with Nokia X3/E5.

You could choose either Nokia X3/E5 as your primary phone and pay as retail price when you subscribe U Value/Plus/Premium postpaid service.Umobile will rebate the subsidies to you over the contract period.

After that,you could get a free Nokia X3 with subscribing U38 plan and pay an upfront payment by credit card with auto debit(RM380) or by cash(RM500).The upfront payment will be in full over 10 months.

I think that’s a quite good deal for somebody who is not willing to get those advanced and expensive smartphones(iPhone,Android phones etc).Are you interesting on them?

Check your charger

Leave a reply

We may hear many times about returning some fault batteries.However,this time Nokia declaims to call back some fault chargers which has assembly problems that may cause a shock.

"We have determined that the plastic covers of the affected chargers could come loose and separate, exposing the charger’s internal components and potentially posing an electric shock hazard if certain internal components are touched while the charger is plugged into a live socket."

charger-exchange-program-600 The chargers affected are models AC-3E and AC-3U, manufactured between June 15 and August 9, 2009, and model AC-4U, manufactured between April 13 and October 25, 2009.If you are holding such a charge,please go this page to check it step by step.

I hope you guys would be the ‘lucky’ one though the exchange is free of charge.

Nokia Booklet 3G is a big star in today’s Nokia World 09.Microsoft is also promoting it because Nokia Booklet 3G will come out with Windows 7.

More details are shown to public on that event and I think most participants will like this product after they see the real one.

Nokia Booklet 3G I make some conclusions for the specifications.

  • Built in AGPS-available to use Windows Sensor and Location Platform,allowing your PC and programs to perform ‘location aware’ computing.
  • 3G/HSPA capabilities,providing excellent mobile connectivity
  • 12 hours of battery life making the possibility of all-day mobility
  • strong and robust machined aluminum chassis without any fan(quiet enough!)
  • glass covered for a crisp and clear view of the screen

Beside these,Nokia Booklet 3G includes a single HDMI port, 3 USB ports and a single headphone jack that doubles also for a microphone.From the official source,Nokia Booklet 3G will be available in some markets in the 4th quarter of this year.However,the price is still unknown.Finally,let’s get a closer look at this great product:
