Nokia e65

The Nokia e65 is the baby brother of the N95 handset. A feature rich Nokia handset, this unit gives plenty of punch for a low dollar entry price. With a 2mp camera built into it, the Nokia e65 doesn't have the snap shot power of the N95, however with wi-fi and voice over IP this handset should prove popular with the punters.

Solid construction and slide design make it a sleek handset, yet sturdy and stylish too. Large screen makes usage easy and battery life including talk time is always impressive from Nokia.

All in all the Nokia e65 is a great handset for those needing lots of grunt, but not wishing to pay the earth for their mobile or cell phone.

Nokia 2626

We've had our hands on the Nokia 2626 now for a few weeks and are able to bring this quick review to you.

The Nokia 2626 is a basic, low end Nokia phone aimed at the entry level user who simply needs clear quality voice calling and decent text messaging.

This 2626 model has no camera, however for a low end phone (Sub $70US) it features: Diary / Calendar, SMS, Email / Web and the usual suspects from Nokia (Games and Decent Music/Sound)

The buttons feel slightly cheap and you do feel like your pressing a 'cheap' phone when you type in numbers or press the centre scroll/answer button.

This Nokia 2626 has a large screen, featuring 128k colors which is handy and ideal for most users.

Rating Overall: 6.5/10 (Great value phone which has most features the basic cell phone user needs)

Mobile Phone Unlocking

Unlocking for a whole range of Nokia Phones is now possible You can unlock most Nokia Phones even some of the "Nokia BB5" range of mobile phones and handsets including the N70, 6680, N95 and others in the BB5 sector.

We are also seeing SIM swaps and mobile hacking being done more on the iPhone in all parts of the world.

Word is that Google is still working hard towards their Google Phone or GPhone that will be an iPhone killer. The LG Prada tried the touch key thing, but has failed badly in ths department.

(In blog roll news we are continuing the John Chow experiment and have also added YouTube Pro to our list of networked sites)

Nokia N95 Software Update Reviewed

The much awaited software / flash upgrade for the new Nokia N95 has been available for a little while now; with many Nokia N95 users installing the ROM upgrade and testing the features.

One of the key differences was the speed and accuracy of the satellite and GPS interface - faster load times along with less bugs was reportedly the new feel.

Apparently though, many Nokia N95 users have found the upgrade hasn't helped a lot with the satellite and GPS program on their phones.

Apart from improving overall interface loading times and a reduction in minor crashes the new Symbion OS has little advantages.

Advice for Nokia N95 users: Hold off the upgrade for now, wait for the next version which should have more of an impact on your new handset!

Bluetooth Explained

When you use PC, music devices or mobile cell phones, the different components make up a world of electronic devices. These various devices talk to one another other using a different connectors, cables, signaling and IR light rays.

Allowing devices to communicate with each other gets harder almost daily as technology changes. Bluetooth, simplifies this problem. A Bluetooth setup is totally wireless and protocol free. Simple enough to become a standard adopted by many vendors

When any two devices need to exchange information with one another, they need to establish certain rules first. Initially the point of establishment is physical: Will they talk over a wire? Or via a wireless signal? If they do use wires, how many are needed -- Then the physical conditions are decided, many more questions pop up:

* Amount of data that will be sent at once? Eg, serial ports send data 1 bit at a time, while a parallel port send multiple bits at once.


* How will they chat to one another? All of the participants in an electronic exchange need to know what the bits mean and if the message they get is the same message that was sent. So ensuring a set of commands and acknowledgements is known as a protocol.

Bluetooth offers a solution to this problem.
