BlackBerry Bold 9700 – It Doesn’t Get Any Bolder Than This. Or Does It?

No Comments 21 November 2009

BlackBerry has just released their latest model, the BlackBerry Bold 9700. When I first see this phone I wasn’t so sure. RIM does have a reputation with their internet and push-mail services, but can this handset really live up to people’s expectations.

You will quickly notice that RIM uses touch-sensitive optical trackpad instead of the usual BlackBerry trackball for this handset. Optical trackpads are popular among users, and Bold 9700 has one of the most precise optical trackpad you will ever use. The 624 MHz processor is more than powerful enough to run the latest BlackBerry OS 5.0 with fabulous new features. The BlackBerry Messenger, allowing you to communicate with other BlackBerry users through Pin exchange, appears to be smoother and more user-friendly. Native applications for IMs and social networking sites are available; Yahoo! Messenger, Live, AIM, GTalk, Facebook, Twitter, you name it you got it. Since these applications are natively made for BlackBerry and endorsed by the principal company, using them will feel the same as using similar software on your desktop.

The keypad on Bold 9700 is superbly comfortable to use. It may still be too small for people with large thumbs, but regular users will be able to type using the keypad comfortably. Some avid BlackBerry users can even type at 50-70 words per minute using the QWERTY keypad. You will still be pampered with HSDPA support, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g, Bluetooth v2.1 with A2DP support, and of course built-in GPS with A-GPS support. The 2.44-inch screen will be the window to all these amazing features, offering bright and clear display for comfortable use.

Motorola MC55: Windows Mobile for Adventurers

No Comments 04 November 2009

Finding a Windows Mobile based phone that can accompany you in hikes and wild adventures may not be easy a few months ago. With Motorola MC55 launched, your problem is officially solved. Although the MC55 has been around since earlier this year, its popularity increased substantially as a tough WinMo phone after it is being publicly advertised only recently. The market is a niche, but Motorola done everything right and more people are getting this device as their adventure companions.

Mind the small antenna; they are designed to help you keep good reception even when you are climbing cliffs or going deep into the forest. It will not be as powerful as a satellite phone, but MC55 can guarantee you a signal where other phones fail. The 3.5-inch resistive touch screen is crisp and easy to use. You will also have Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth v2.0 available to support connectivity. To help you find your way back during adventures, a built-in GPS module with A-GPS support is also provided.

What’s best about this phone is its toughness. It is completely shock resistant; you wouldn’t have to worry about breaking the device when you take it through extreme terrains. The drop-to-concrete from up to 1.2m resistance also makes this phone suitable for outdoor workers. It can operate at a temperature of -10C to 50C — when you can have your phone operates normally in sub-zero condition, it is simply amazing — and it marks its spot as the true all-terrain hardcore WinMo phone.
