Thoughts on Nokia Lumia 800 and 710 – Available in Singapore before the end of the year

 Technology  No Responses »
Nov 152011
 

The Nokia Lumia 800 is one of the first two Windows Phone 7.5 devices from Nokia. It will be available in Singapore *estimated* around December 10th 2011, at an *estimated* price of SGD$799. Do note these are estimated time and pricing, and are not official.

Now here are my initial thoughts about the Nokia Lumia 800:

  • It’s exactly the same as the Nokia N9, except it has a slightly smaller screen (3.7″), no NFC, no front-facing camera. It is using micro-sim similar with the Nokia N9, just something to note about.
  • I love touching/swiping the Nokia N9 screen, and although touching/swiping the Nokia Lumia 800 screen isn’t as good, but it’s better than any other touch screen phone I’ve used. With that said, I’m not talking about the software, but the curved screen itself.
  • The Nokia ClearBlack display is AMAZING. You can see the difference in the vibrancy of the color and the blacks.
  • There aren’t a lot of customizations on the Windows Phone 7.5, so if you’re familiar with WP7.5, it’s all there.
  • Services differentiate Nokia Wp7.5 phones over the rest – Nokia Maps and Drive, Nokia Music, Transfer Contacts, App Highlights.
  • If anything, Nokia Music has the largest collection of music (English, Korean, Japanese, Cantonese, Mandarin, etc) in this part of the world for purchase.
  • Nokia Maps and Drive isn’t as good as I expect it to be. Nokia Drive with free downloadable maps (up to 95 countries) still requires internet connection to do any routing. Still doesn’t help when I’m overseas with no data.
  • Transfer Contacts allows you to transfer your contacts from practically any phone (iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, Nokia Symbian) into your Nokia Lumia phones through bluetooth. Extremely useful for a lot of people.
  • I’m not too impressed with App Highlights, which is just another app discovery application that’s controlled by Nokia.
The Nokia Lumia 710 is second of the two Windows Phone 7.5 devices from Nokia. It will be available in Singapore *estimated* around December 10th 2011, at an *estimated* price of SGD$499. Do note these are estimated time and pricing, and are not official.Now here are my initial thoughts about the Nokia Lumia 710:

  • Not as good as the Nokia Lumia 800 in terms of hardware, but it’s an affordable WP7.5 phone with all the software services provided by Nokia like the Nokia Maps and Drive, Nokia Music, Transfer Contacts, App Highlights.
  • 5 different colors for the back covers – white, black, cyan, fuchsia and yellow so customize the look and feel. 2 colors for the front – black or white.
  • Otherwise, there’s nothing much that stands out.
And those are my thoughts on the 2 new Nokia Lumia 800 and 710. What do you think about the two new phones?

Nokia N9: The Best and Only Meego Nokia Phone – Available in Singapore

 Technology  No Responses »
Sep 072011
 

Nokia N9 is built for people who appreciate a stunning blend of design and the latest smartphone technology, offering a one-of-a-kind user experience.

The Nokia N9 introduces an innovative new design where the home key is replaced by a simple gesture: a swipe. Whenever you’re in an application, swiping from the edge of the display takes you home. The three home views of the user interface are designed to give fast access to the most important things people do with a phone: using apps, staying up to date with notifications and social networks, and switching between activities.

The industrial design of the Nokia N9 is an example of extreme product making and craft. Its body is precision-machined from a single piece of polycarbonate which flows seamlessly into beautifully formed curved glass with a curved scratch resistant screen. The laminated, deep black display creates a seemingly floating user interface.

The Nokia N9 is available in three colors – black, cyan and magenta, with storage options of 16GB (SGD$799) and 64GB (SGD$899) at all 3 operators in Singapore – Singtel, Starhub and M1 – starting in October.

Initial Thoughts of the Nokia N9:

  • Love the design, love the hardware, love the new UI.
  • Would I buy it? No – it’s going to be the one and only Meego device out there. Support is questionable in terms of long term strategy.
  • Since most of the “innovations” on the Nokia N9 are done under the “Disruptive” category, i.e. Nokia N9, rest assured that you will see these innovations in future phones – so why buy the Nokia N9 then?
  • Would you buy it? Maybe – if you want to stand out over the rest, i.e. not using an iPhone, and using the ONLY Meego phone and you’re looking for a stylish phone but don’t care much about support.
  • Don’t get me wrong, there will be apps available since it runs the QT development platform, that means most Symbian apps will be available on the Nokia N9.

Nokia launches three new Symbian phones – Nokia 700, Nokia 701 and Nokia 600 – featuring the latest Symbian Belle and an NFC-enabled Bluetooth Headset

Nokia launched three feature-packed, mass market smartphones, bringing the latest smartphone functionality at attractive price points and including market-leading innovation with Symbian Belle. The Nokia 700, Nokia 701 and Nokia 600 extend the range of available designs, features and functionality in the Nokia Symbian smartphone range.  Symbian Belle powers all three, with single-tap NFC technology sharing and pairing, the most personal user interface so far and a more powerful mobile Web browsing experience.

While all three smartphones contain recognizable Nokia features, they each represent a very distinct set of priorities to allow users to choose what matters most in a smartphone. The most compact touch screen monoblock smartphone in the world (Nokia 700); a sleek and stylish smartphone with the world’s brightest mobile display for indoor or outdoor use (Nokia 701), and Nokia’s loudest entertainment smartphone (Nokia 600) all bring firsts to the Nokia product portfolio.
