The Big Brother: The Samsung Wave 2 Pro

August 26th, 2010

The Samsung Wave 2 Pro is obviously, the bigger brother of the Wave 2. Although at first glance, these two Smartphones may look exactly alike, the primary difference between the two is that the Wave 2 Pro offers a built-in QWERTY keyboard which slides out from the side. Other than this, the two are almost exactly alike – fairly priced Smartphones that deliver the functions that you need.

Good Business

As the name implies, the Samsung Wave 2 Pro is a Smartphone that caters to the more professional users. Testament to this fact is the full QWERTY keyboard on the device which is an absence in its younger brother. The addition of this key feature means that it will be easier for users to compose longer messages using the device. This makes it more email-friendly as it allows users to bring their work with them while they’re on the go.

The QWERTY pad slides out from the side of the device and you’ll have to rely on the accelerometer censor to facilitate the auto-rotate function on the Smartphone so that you can use it on landscape mode.

Adding Some Fun in Functional

The Samsung Wave 2 Pro isn’t all about serious business. It also sports a number of features that makes the device enjoyable as well. For starters, there’s a very user friendly multimedia player on board the device which is compatible with most file formats of today.

If you get tired of listening to your stored tunes then you can very easily switch on the FM radio. If you hear a song that you like, you can make use of the FM recording feature of the Samsung Wave 2 Pro and add this new tune to your growing playlist.

This Smartphone is also equipped with a 3.15 MP camera which you can use to capture candid moments wherever you go.

Vodafone 360: H2 Will Not See Light of Day

July 28th, 2010

Vodafone has been in quite a standoff with both Orange and T-Mobile in the UK. The mobile network operators have been trying to win over consumers with promotions, smart phone exclusivity deals and superiority in basically every facet and aspect they have as an advantage that is applicable to the mobile phone industry.

One of the things that Vodafone tried out not so long ago was the range of bespoke Vodafone 360 units. Thing is, if you were one of the people who grabbed one of the said handsets, such as the Samsung manufactured M1 and H1 range, and enjoyed using the device then there is very bad news for you.

Those who are looking forward to upgrading their mobile phones with the latest 360 handset will not be able to. Vodafone has given an official announcement that no more bespoke 360 phones will be made and released following their Samsung made units. The company will, instead, focus on the development of their 360 services and will be including their 360 platform on company released handsets. This is a snippet from the official announcement posted by Vodafone:

“From now we will be focusing all efforts on expanding the range of handsets and platforms that support Vodafone 360 and in developing and enhancing the suite of Vodafone 360 services. Consequently there will be no further development of bespoke Vodafone 360 handsets.”

That means that the company’s follow up to the Samsung made H1, the H2, will also consequently cease production. As of now, the company’s 360 service allows people to access contacts on different mobile phone units. It also gives users access to many music files, downloadable video clips as well as mobile games via their 360 shop.

With the halt in bespoke devices, the company will have all the means to focus on delivering noteworthy developments in terms of apps and all the time to improve their services further.

Who Can Ignore the Big Display Advantage of the Samsung Galaxy S?

July 6th, 2010

The recently released Samsung Galaxy S i9000 packs in the most advanced mobile phone technology in a handsomely-designed handset. Superbly engineered to carry a bevy of hefty features in its 118 gm, 9.9 mm thin frame, it boasts a big capacitive touchscreen, a 5 MP camera, up to 32 GB of storage, and fast 3G access.

Visual real estate

Users overlook the Samsung Galaxy S as being slightly larger than most touchscreen phones, knowing that it is merely a fair trade-off for a bigger, more advanced display. The phone comes with a generous 4-inch Super AMOLED touchscreen with a 16 million colour display at 480x 800 pixels resolution. This bigger piece of visual real estate means less eyestrain when reading emails and more enjoyment when watching videos, viewing images and playing games.

Other screen advantages

A bigger screen on the Samsung Galaxy S also means a more dynamic and easier way to navigate the phone’s TouchWiz 3.0 user interface. The screen comes with an accelerometer which automatically rotates the UI to adapt to the phone’s orientation, whether in portrait of landscape mode. The user interface has touch-sensitive controls, a proximity sensor for automatic device shutdown, and responds to multi-touch input method.

Simple touch navigation

Creating documents and composing emails on the Samsung Galaxy S touchscreen just became easier with the inclusion of the Swype text input which enables intuitive typing on the display’s virtual QWERTY keyboard. There’s no more need to wade through a confusion of menus as the TouchWiz UI provides multiple home screens which allows users to quickly access their desired file with a mere swipe of a finger.

Audio and visual entertainment on the go is just a finger swipe away. The i9000 comes with a versatile media player which is instantly accessible on the home screen. The player enables the user to play back both music and video files with stunning clarity using simple touch navigation.
