Nokia N97 - 'The new iPhone'

Advantages: 32gb Internal Memory, Nice Looking, Full QWERTY Keyboard, 5 MP Camera
Disadvantages: A Little Bulky, Price, Small Processer Makes The Phone Slow

... Intro Being the previous owner of a Sony Ericsson w850 for over 2 years, I decided that it was time for a mobile phone upgrade. I had a few different phones in mind, the Apple iPhone, Nokia N97, Nokia 5800 Xpress Music and the HTC Touch Pro, in the end I chose to buy the new Nokia N-Series phone. It was a clear choice over the iPhone because of the price, also you do not have to buy the phone AND pay a monthly contract fee with the N97. Buying The Phone After choosing the phone I decided that I wanted to switch to contract instead of pay as you go. At the time the phone was only available on the Vodafone and Orange networks, but I believe that you can get it on most major networks now. I had previously been with Orange and wasn't too impressed with their service, so I chose Vodafone, they also had better deals for the N97...

Review - The Nokia N97 vs The iPhone 3GS

Advantages: Good Looking, Durable, Huge Memory, Very Very Good QWERTY keyboard
Disadvantages: Tiny processor leading to lag and application crashes

... The Nokia N97 Nokia have announced the follow up to their 5800 XpressMusic touchscreen phone. The Nokia N97, which utilises a 3.5 inch touchscreen and slide out QUERTY keyboard. Appearance The overall design of the N97 is not at all unique, looking like the lovechild of a Google G1 and Apple iPhone, comparisons have also been drawn to the AT&T Tilt, and rightly so. Despite Nokia's lack of imagination the N97 is a nice looking thing, apart from a small button in the bottom left corner, the 3.5 inch touchscreen dominates and looks sleek and well designed. When the QUERTY keyboard is slid out the screen sits at an angle, looking remarkably like the HTC TyTN. The N97 is both larger and thicker than the iPhone, which isn't exactly inconspicuous itself, this makes the N97 feel a little too large, especially...

Review of Nokia N97

great phone, hopefully better than n96

Advantages: great screen, camera, storage
Disadvantages: cost

...hey guys! this phone is great. no two ways about it. havent personally heard of any problems occurring with software, which happened quite quickly with the original n95 and the n96, so hopefully this is getting better. STORAGE the phone itself comes complete with 32GB of storage, a massive amount for a phone, with the iphone only offering a 16GB max. also ,the N97 has expandable storage of an extra 16GB, so thats a massive 48GB in total! plenty of space for movies (which you can watch) tv shows, music photos etc. DISPLAY 3.5inch screen which has a handy little tilt in it, so you can actually set it flat on a table and still use the keypad, much like a teeny weeny laptop, or you can watch your movies etc like that. 16m colours so very high quality. FEATURES ok, the phone has a 5mp camera, which is pretty good as...

Review of T.Mobile Web 'n' Walk USB Modem

T.Mobile Web 'n' Walk USB Modem.

Advantages: No need for a BT landline.
Disadvantages: Signal strength can vary from time to time.

...****Web 'n' Walk USB Modem**** Web 'n' Walk USB is a great new concept in mobile Internet. It works through a supplied Mobile phone number from T.Mobile, giving you instant access to the Internet through the supplied USB Modem. This number is only used for Internet access and is not your Mobile number. It is really easy to set up by simply running a CD which installs the USB Manager software icon straight to your desktop. Included in the Manager application is Email, contacts, and statistics, which show your signal strength, upload and download speed etc. It comes supplied with a USB connector which you simply plug into your USB port. It is slim and unobtrusive, and you place your supplied sim card into it for activation. It does advise not to be touched when on, due to low omittions of radio frequency energy. It also...

Review of T.Mobile Web 'n' Walk USB Modem

T.Mobile Web 'n' Walk USB Modem.- 10Gb

Advantages: Good for surfing the net on the move, downloading music and watching youtube.
Disadvantages: Forget about playing online games or downloading large files. 1st line support is indian.

...Ive been using the Web & walk 10GB service from T-mobile for about 2 an half years now..If your thinking of getting this service for use at home and not on the move then I do not recommend it, if you have access to landline internet stay away from this, landline is so much more reliable and faster. I originally got this so I could keep playing my online games which I love so much while away from home for long periods.. If your looking to play online games with this service forget it, apart from been disconnected from most game servers because your connection constantly disconnects and reconnects, admins will kick you from there servers and players will vote you off when they see how rubbish your ping is.. usually 200m to 500m. And when you do get to play the game its usually laggy and you are killed before it even appears on your screen...

toshiba satellite L350-12N

Advantages: Built in webcam and microophone. 17 in screen, reasonable size.
Disadvantages: not really any.

...Really loved this laptop, it is cheap, has a fairly large screen and has some pretty cool extra features which I shall get on to later in the review. This is just going to be a quick (ish) review as going out soon. Compared to other laptops, this is impressively fast, probably due to it's Intel Pentium Dual-Core Processor T2370. It runs on windows vista, which seems to be faster than earlier windows. It is quite light, being only 3.15 kg and is quite small enough to carry round and fits in most bags. It has a width of 398mm, a depth of 292mm and a height at the front of 35.3mm and 43.1mm at the back. The screen is 17in (larger than many laptops) and it has a fairly good battery life. It also has built in sterospeakers. It also has a double layer DVD Multi drive. These features mean it is ideal for putting a movie on when you're out...

Nokia N95

Advantages: Too many to mention
Disadvantages: disappointing sat nav

...I recently purchased the Nokia N95 I have now had it for about two weeks, I haven't had a chance to use all the features, but have used quite a few and had a play around. So thought I would write a review and then update it as I try more and more of the features. The N95 is packed with features and this review could last for days if I explained them all. I'm going to concentrate on the most used and interesting features. Lets start with the look and the screen size: I like Nokias and am a fan and I haven't been disappointed with the look and feel of the N95. My other half has a Nokia N73 and when they are side by side the phones look very similar the difference and in my opinion the benefit of the N95 is the screen size. The screen is large for such a compact phone, it is 2.6 inch all the technical specifications can be found...

Review of Nokia N95

The Nokia N95

Advantages: Excellent services
Disadvantages: Large in size

...The beginning: I bought the nokia N95 when it came newly on the market. It was brought through a contract with o2 after I closed my sim only contract where I payed £25 a month (I think). o2 rang me and asked me if I wanted an upgrade and truthfully I was looking to buy a new phone as I originally had a nokia 6600, which as you may well know is nearly the size of a brick (although the nokia n95 isn't really any smaller). Anyway the o2 supervisor asked me which type of contract I wanted which got sorted but I wanted the 'newest phone out' which at that time was the nokia N95. When the o2 supervisor mentioned it had a navigation system, I thought 'I'll have that please' so agreed to buy it on contract. I didn't know which colours they had and which colour I was going to get but I came to have the plum colour one, which I preferred in...

Review of Nokia N95

The Nokia N95

Advantages: Good quality with plenty of great features and applications
Disadvantages: Short battery life, may occasionally freeze

...The Nokia n95 was first released on sale in the UK at the beginning of 2007. It was one of the most advanced phones available at this time. It has a lot to offer the owner. First of all, the display is a 240 x 360 TFT display with ambient light detector and up to 16million different colours to take your fancy. The display is quite clear with not a lot of icons to clutter up the space. The signal and battery levels are illustrated in the top corners of the screen split either side of the time and the profile selection, e.g. silent, general, and meeting. Beneath this we have the main tabs showing from left to right; the contacts list, radio DJ, bluetooth, web, gallery and maps. The calendar is hidden below this and can be opened to view dates and set reminders for birthdays etc. These reminders appear on the main display screen which is...
