	<description><![CDATA[Android system has been taken into our memory early, many friends favor Smartphone input more energy to concern and discuss. The operating system of mobile Google was just come in, many firms are involved in its ranks. At the same time, Windows phone 7 systems recently has become hot topic. But what are the differences between the different mobile systems? Today is for everyone to collect several typical phones of the different phone system, if you are focused on a new system, so might as well see below, which can allure you?

Nokia N8 - The Nokia N8 is easily one of the most eagerly anticipated devices on the year. It has the new Symbian^3 OS, a 12-megapixel camera, an HDMI port, huge processing and graphical display power and a massively overhauled UI – basically, it’s meant to be pretty damn good. The Nokia N8, while being something of a departure from Nokia’s usual design, is still very much a ‘Nokia’ device in terms of aesthetics. The handset features a unibody design made from Anodised Aluminium, which gives it a solid, durable, feel in the hand. The Nokia N8 also features a non-removable battery, like the iPhone, and two side slots for both your SIM and microSD cards, which are located on the device’s left side. On the right, there’s a volume rocker, lock switch and the camera activation button. The top of the device features a 3.5mm jack slot, HDMI port and the power button. It’s still very much a Symbian OS, both in terms of the way it looks and feels, it’s just received a massive overhaul and has been dragged kicking-and-screaming into the 21st Century with multiple homescreens, widgets and live tiles.

Windows Phone 7 - Windows Phone 7 came together in about 12 months, though a hard reset of the OS started about two years ago. When creating Windows Phone 7, the team focused on visual design and a more integrated experience for the user. Interestingly, OEM partners will be able to customize the user experience but won't be able to replace it. In other words, you won't be seeing the likes of HTC Sense on future Windows phones. Microsoft wants the same user experience on all its phones. The design team created Windows Phone 7 on a number of principles, including user typography, elegance and simplicity, authentically digital, motion, and a mobile OS that's clean, light, open, and fast. Windows Phone 7 has a chromeless user interface, meaning you no longer have borders or a Start button. Microsoft stripped everything it believed the user didn't need and only presents the content you want. Microsoft is not talking about multitasking today, though it did say the phones will have the capability to play music in the background while you're working in other apps. The company is also not officially commenting on Flash support, though Adobe announced on Sunday that it is working closely with Microsoft to bring Flash to future Windows phones. However, it most likely won't be ready by the time the phones ship during the holiday season. 

Motorola Droid2 – it don’t have more high technology then Droid X, but get more attention from people, mainly because of it will be running on the newest Android platform. The Motorola Droid 2 has been snapped in the wild and it looks very similar to the first Motorola Droid. The Motorola Droid 2 which is set to come out this month runs a 750 MHz processor with a 3.7 inch touch screen. Internal storage is at 8GB, augmented with the addition of another 8GB on a flash card. Verizon are set to be the first carriers of the Droid 2, but still no word if other carriers will come on board.
Samsung Galaxy S - The good news is that this handset will come equipped with Android 2.2 Froyo out of the box. As reported from BGR, the information has come to us courtesy of MobileCrunch. Specs of the GSM-based Galaxy Q include a 3-inch Super AMOLED display screen with multitouch, an 8 megapixel camera with separate 1.3 megapixel camera on the front, a 1 GHz Hummingbird processor and 16GB of internal memory. Some of you might also be excited to hear that the Samsung Galaxy Q will also come equipped with a QWERTY keyboard.

All of them are also good multimedia player. It is really wonderful that we can enjoy our movies and music with smart portable players anytime and anywhere. But you may also get confused with the problem: how to get movies and music into your favorite portable players? 
Now I will introduce you an all in one solution. Only one program will help you solve all your questions.

	<title>Alice on Nokia new C6 simple review: full QWERTY and easy to enjoy DVD/Video</title>

	<description><![CDATA[Nokia a Finnish mobile giant has unleashed a new touch screen Smartphone in the form of Nokia C6. It is the second member of the Nokia’s C series. The Nokia C6 looks like a trimmed version of N97. With inclusion of sliding QWERTY keyboard, it will be liked by heavy texters. It features 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, resistive touch screen, good battery, social networking, and 5 megapixel camera. Now, let’s look at the more detail of information about Nokia C6.
[img]http://nidesoft.com/forum/nokia/nokia-c6.jpg[/img] 
Design
To look at initially, the C6 resembles many recent Nokia devices that also boasted a touch screen, such as the 5800. The difference is that the C6 does not rely just on the touch display for data entry, with the inclusion of a slide out QWERTY keyboard. The keys on the keypad are of a good size, and text entry shouldn’t be an issue. Closed up the device measures in at a respectable 113 x 53 x 17mm, and weighs in at the top end of the acceptable scale at 150g. The touch display is a TFT screen, supporting up to 16 million colors, with a pixel resolution of 360 x 640 and measuring 3.2 inches across. The display has a built in auto rotate option, which kicks in when the QWERTY keyboard is opened, as well as within applications that support this feature on the device, such as the web browser. A proximity sensor disables the screen when in call, to stop you accidentally activating apps or undesired in call features.

Nokia C6’s features
The Nokia C6 is running on the Symbian OS v9.4, Series 60 rel. 5. It is pretty much same as other Nokia Symbian phones. The Symbian has lost its sheen with the market is ruled by Android and other smartphones OS. However, the Symbian OS has done a good job her. The Menu system, Icons and interface is very nice.
And its data is saved on a micro SD / SDHC flash memory card that can be inserted in the card slot that can be found on the side of the Nokia C6 handset. Officially, 16GB is named as the maximum storage capacity, but most likely the maximum storage capacity for micro SDHC, namely 32GB, will also be supported. The Nokia C6 phone also has wireless LAN built-in, and VPS and 3G support.
At in multimedia function, the C6 includes a 5.0 Megapixel camera, with autofocus and LED flash, with face and smile detection options available in the settings menu. Video recording is enabled, and there is a front facing camera for face to face video calls over 3G.
General media support on the phone is strongly represented, with a stereo FM radio with RDS included, plus a media player which supports multiple formats including MP3, WMA, AAC, eAAC+, WMV and MP4. The layout of the music player is very intuitive, and adding additional playlists to those automatically available is a simple process. But, I find that this Symbian smartphone could not play all video or audio format file. Could I rip DVD to this phone supports format? I search this question on Google and find good software named [url=http://www.nidesoft.com/dvd-to-nokia-converter.html]Nideosft DVD to Nokia Converter[/url]. It could help you to convert DVD movie to many Nokia video formats: 3GP, MP4, MP3, WMV, etc., which could be played on your Nokia mobile phone, such as Nokia 5800, Nokia N95, Nokia 5320 XM, Nokia E71, etc.. almost all the Nokia mobile phone family. At the same time, [url=http://www.nidesoft.com/nokia-video-converter.html]Nidesoft Nokia Video Converter[/url] provides perfect solution for you to convert your favorite video files to Nokia mobile phone format, preserving the best quality of picture and sound. This movie converter software could support almost all source formats, including MOD, MPEG-1, VOB, MP4, M4V, WMV, ASF, AVI, 3GP, FLV, YouTube, etc..

The handset also has a built in GPS receiver, which allows you to add location information to captured images via geotagging, and also allows you to use the device as a portable SatNav device, with full a GPS support. Nokia OVI Maps is available, which gives you full access to voice turn by turn navigation, for free. The web browser on the handset is very capable, and presents most web pages well. Kinetic scrolling allows you to flick through long web pages, and support for Flash Lite 3.0 is also included.

Review
The C6 may not have high-end features or run the latest software, but its estimated price of 220 Euros before tax and subsidy will be a great draw for mass-market consumers. The Nokia C6 will be available in either Black or White, and should start shipping before the end of the current quarter. Although the features of the handset clash with other Nokia devices in the mid tier market, the aggressive pricing point should help to ensure that the device sells in good numbers, and will be a particularly attractive option on many free gift and half price line rental deals

	<description><![CDATA[Sprint customers disappointed by the lack of Wi-Fi on last summer's BlackBerry Tour 9650 will be pleased with the latest BlackBerry coming to the network. The BlackBerry Bold 9650 offers Wi-Fi and twice as much memory as the Tour. It also sports a superb keyboard and excellent messaging features and any sports and recreation apps which BlackBerry Company provides. Although badged as a Bold, the styling dimensions and feel of the device point more to a revamped BlackBerry Tour than a CDMA-based version of Bold 9700, which is offered by the GSM-based carriers AT&#038;T and T-Mobile.
[img]http://www.nidesoft.com/forum/blackberry/southafricaworldcup.jpg[/img] 
Design
The Bold 9650 measures 4.4 inches by 2.4 inches by 0.5 inch thick. At 4.8 ounces, however, it is slightly heavier than the 4.6-ounce Tour. The Bold 9650's body combines a muted chrome bezel with smooth black rubber and textured plastic. The texture contributes to the phone's comfortable in-hand feel. Like the Tour, the Bold 9650 has a 2.4-inch 480-by-360-pixel display.
App
Call Quality – it is spot-on with this version of the Bold. From low to high volume the speaker supports a range of sound from deep to high. The speakerphone is sufficiently loud as well.
Messaging – it is the strongest point of the BlackBerry. Connections to Gmail accounts sync messages and contacts seamlessly. A message sent from a computer will show up as a sent message on the device, which creates an incredibly useful completely current email record at all times.
Wireless – it boasts 802.11b/g, GPS, Bluetooth with profiles for streaming music, and support for UMTS/HSPA, CDMA/EV-DO and GSM based networks.
Operating system – it was announced alongside BlackBerry OS 6.0, it ships with OS 5.0, which we also saw on the BlackBerry Strom 2. BlackBerry OS 6.0 won't ship until Q3. BlackBerry OS 5.0 has sharper icons, brighter colors, and blacker blacks than BlackBerry OS 4.6 (which shipped on the original Bold). The interface is clean and simple to navigate, thanks to its easy-to-identify icons.
Multimedia
The 3.2 megapixel camera on the Bold 9650 features auto-focus, video recording and flash.
Using the camera has been made easier with this model. Previous auto-focus BlackBerrys required users to first focus and then completely presses the key to capture an image. With the Bold the process has been simplified to a simple point and click - the device will focus itself.
Like its siblings, the Bold's multimedia features are fairly middle-of-the-road. The vanilla music player lets you view your library by song, artist, or genre. During playback, a miniature album thumbnail appears. The app also has playlist and shuffle features, and a headphone equalizer. You can download music via Verizon's Rhapsody service.
The advanecd player supports video format including MPEG4 Part 2 Simple Profile, H.263, WMV and audio format such as: MP3, MIDI, AMR-NB, AAC/AAC+/eAAC+, WMA, and so on. 
While, I find two powerful software to let you enjoy such wonderful experience: [url=http://www.nidesoft.com/blackberry-video-converter.html]Nidesoft BlackBerry Video Converter[/url] which could convert video and audio files to your Blackberry movie and music format( for example, you may convert “Vuvuzela” of standing for South Africa World Cup to your ringtone by it) and [url=http://www.nidesoft.com/dvd-to-blackberry-converter.html]Nidesoft DVD to BlackBerry Converter[url] which could convert DVD to Blackberry video and music. These powerful BlackBerry Converters supports all the BlackBerry family, including BlackBerry 8800, BlackBerry 8830, BlackBerry 8820, BlackBerry Pearl 8800, BlackBerry Curve 8300, BlackBerry Storm 2, BlackBerry 9700 and even the new released Storm! If you want to enjoy your DVD with Blackberry, you may try it! It is easy to see these two software is the best assistants for Blackberry.

Sports and recreation apps at Blackberry App World
In order to make the fans are better able to watch the South Africa football World Cup, the Blackberry Company launched a lot of software about the game for blackberry user.
“South Africa on BlackBerry” - Enjoy all the action of World Cup Football in South Africa, right on your BlackBerry? with the "South Africa on BlackBerry" app.
“ScoreMobile” - is a true application that's been built from the ground up for all recent BlackBerry? smartphone models. It provide up-to-the-minute sports scores, boxscores, player stats, betting odds, game previews, recaps, top stories, and league standings. In addition we publish exclusive live blogs for key games. Coverage currently includes: American Football (NFL, NCAAF, CFL), Baseball (MLB), Basketball (NBA, NCAAB Men's), Hockey (NHL), Golf (PGA), Auto Racing (NASCAR Sprint Cup, Formula 1) and Soccer (World Cup, EPL, Champions League, Serie A, Liga, MLS). If you have interesting about it, you may get more information from BlackBerry website.

It’s true that RIM hit the mark with the BlackBerry Bold 9650. And the Bold 9650 is the top. It's got a very good keyboard (though small, especially compared to the relative behemoth Bold 9000), good looks, good build quality and rock solid stability. We find the small, relatively high resolution display hard on the eyes, especially when web browsing and would put up with a larger phone to get a bigger screen. But for consumers, I'd say check out the competition before jumping aboard the BlackBerry bandwagon.

	<description><![CDATA[<p>Acer has well and truly thrown its hat into the smartphone ring, with a slew of Android phones announced February. It&#8217;s not just the Liquid e that Acer is bringing out here at MWC 2010 and the company also has a number of o Android devices to choose from.  Acer expect the beTouch E110 to arrive in March 2010, with the beTouch E400 following on in April. Across the board there&#8217;s 3G and Bluetooth, while on the E110 lacks WiFi b/g.  No vast processor speeds here, though; at most you&#8217;ll get 600MHz.  Both have a 3.2-megapixel camera together with GPS and a 3.5mm headphone jack. I have a short comparison summary about what the same features and what the different of both two phones. [img]http://www.nidesoft.com/forum/acer/acere110ande400.jpg[/img]  Design The Acer E110 is an attractive mobile phone that comes complete with 2.8 inches TFT resistive touchscreen with 240 x 320 pixels resolution that can display up to 256k (65K effective) colors. It runs on Android OS, v1.5 (Cupcake) and is powered by ST Ericsson PNX6715 416MHz processor. Weighted at 105 grams Acer E110 physically measures 103.5 x 54 x 13.4 mm.The handset is available in two colors - Black &#38; Dark Blue And The Acer beTouch E400 has a 3.2-inch TFT touchscreen resistive display that features a 320 x 480 pixel resolution with 256k colors. It measures 115 x 59.3 x 12 mm and weighs 125g that makes it very stylish and sleek. P300 packs an Accelerometer sensor for auto-rotate, Digital compass, Acer UI and Smart LED notifications also. This smartphone works on Android OS, v2.1 and has a processor of Qualcomm 7227 600 MHz processor that renders it great functionality. It comes in Soft-touch Black, Ceramic White and Pearl colours. Memory The Acer E110 comes complete with 256 MB RAM, 256 MB ROM internal memory that is expandable with the microSd card slot option. While the Acer beTouch E400 feature comes complete with 256 MB of RAM and 512 MB of ROM memory that can also be expanded with microSD card slot.  Both two phones&#8217; phonebook memory allows entry of unlimited entries and fields, Photocall in the phone and it can also store unlimited call details. Connectivity The Acer E110 and Acer E400 both come with EDGE Class 10, 236.8 kbps and GPRS Class 10 (4+1/3+2 slots), 32 - 48 kbp technologies that gives high speed data transfer rates. The inbuilt Bluetooth Yes, v2.0 with A2DP and miniUSB connection allows the user to transfer data to another devices wirelessly. In addition, the E400 is 3G enabled phone has HSDPA at 7.2 Mbps and HSUPA 384 Kbps also embedded. Multimedia To keep the user entertained, both two phones come preloaded with MP3 and MP4 players that very well supports numerous music formats, such as: MP3 and WAV as well as MP4, WMV, H.264, H.263 etc and also equipped with alert options like vibration, downloadable polyphonic. The only one difference: the E110 has a stereo FM radio, but the E400 don&#8217;t have. They could not support all of video and audio formats. If I have a AVI file, what should I do? I search this question on Google and find good auxiliary software which named [url=http://www.nidesoft.com/video-converter.html]Nidesoft Video Converter[/url] which could convert video or audio files between all popular formats to convert AVI file to MPEG-4 format. Detailed process is as follows: Firstly, you could free download and install Nidesoft Video Converter from: <a href="http://www.nidesoft.com/downloads/video-converter.exe" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.nidesoft.com/downlo.....verter.exe</a>. When you finished the download process, run the .exe file to install it. Step 1: Click &#8220;Add File&#8221; button to import your videos from your computer. [img]http://www.nidesoft.com/forum/google/video-converter-1.jpg[/img]  Tips: Click a file in the list and you could use the preview control buttons to play the file. Step 2: Click "Format" combo box to select the output format, such as to mp4 for Sony or iPhone. Step 3: Click &#8220;Convert&#8221; button to start conversion. The conversion will be completed in a short time. Ok, now you have converted your AVI files to MPEG-4 format files which The E110 and E400 supports and you may use it more convenient. Another I also find [url=http://www.nidesoft.com/dvd-ripper.html]Nidesoft DVD Ripper[/url] could rip DVD to multimedia phones&#8217; video and music: 3GP, AVI, WMV, MP4, WMA etc. So, it is not a problem to watch your favorite DVD on mobile phone. I think these two Nidesoft software are necessary additional software for mobile phone users.  Camera The Acer E110 and E400 are equipped with 3.15 megapixel camera that comes with 2048x1536 pixels resolution that is able to capture still as well as moving video footages and video recording feature. But E400 could support autofocus, LED flash and Geo-tagging and E110 don&#8217;t support. Battery LifeTimea The Standard Li-Ion 1500 mAh battery of the Acer E110 comprises of 400 hours of standby time and 5 hours of talk time. The Acer beTouch E400 has a Standard Li-Po 1090 mAh battery that gives 400 hours of standby time and 5 hours of talk time to its users. Messaging Both two phones can keep you connected with your family and friends easily with the inbuilt with SMS, MMS, Email and instant messaging features.  Network The Acer E110 works on 2G GSM 850, 900, 1800, 1900 and 3G HSDPA 850, 1900, 2100 as well as HSDPA 900, 1900, 2100 networks. The Acer beTouch E400 comes complete with GSM Quad-band phone capable of global roaming on 2G in configuration of 850/900/1800/1900 Mhz. The 3G network enabled on phone is in HSDPA 900 / 2100 and HSDPA 850 / 900 / 2100 configuration. Conclusion Shame about some of the specs, removing certain aspects to reduce the cost such as WiFi, the accelerometer and compass means this handset will fail to take full advantage of Android and won&#39;t be compatible with many of the apps which take advantage and use these features. The beTouch E110 does however look stylish and will come in Black &#38; Dark Blue so take your pick if you still interested! Other useful functions of the E400 include the GPS-enabled Google Maps, which will help you find your way around cities and/or towns and includes both Street View and Latitude. The excellent media player will play a full range of file formats and there is a built-in 3-millimeter audio input jack allowing you to plug in your choice of headphones. There is even the very useful Acer Synch feature, allowing the user to wirelessly synchronize with their desktop or notebook so they can easily maintain and keep files and contacts up to date, which is great for when you are ultra-busy and need to save time. Now, which one do you select, Acer E110 or Acer beTouch E400?</p>

	<description><![CDATA[I had the chance to get my hands on the Nokia N97 which is supposed to come out in June. I am not reviewing the phones insides but mostly how it feels and how the phone performs. The firmware is the latest one so I had a good idea at what the phone will be like at launch. Although the firmware is the latest the case itself is not, you can see that the send/end keys have lighting problems and that will be fixed in the release version of the phone.

<span style="font-family: mceinline;">Phone design:</span>

<img class="alignleft" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2448/3580054912_b1c3e2e851.jpg?v=0" alt="N97 hands on by you." width="210" height="158" />The phone itself is smaller in person. Having seen videos on youtube and comparing it in real life, you will clearly see a difference in the size factor. This makes it easy to put and pull out of almost any pocket (I wouldn't expect you to put it in your back pocket for such a device). The phone is sleek and appealing, so expect some eyes looking in your direction when you have it out.

On the left of the phone you have the micro USB connector which is used to transfer data and also used to charge the phone so you can charge it while synced to your computer making it more convenient for business people always on the go with their laptop. You also have the lock switch situated in the middle of the side.

The right side you have the volume rocker and the camera button. Both easy to use and easy to press.

Top you have the 3.5 mm headphone jack so you can plug in your favorite headphones right in the phone.

<span style="font-family: mceinline;">Screen:</span>

<img class="alignleft" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3414/3579243391_ab9d59d962.jpg?v=0" alt="N97 hands on by you." width="210" height="158" />The screen is nice, at 3.5 it is bright and colorful. Now if you know this screen is resistive and not capacitive, so the screen feels pressure and not electricity like the Iphone. This could be a problem for people who have been used to the Iphones screen.

The N97 needs some pressure to recognize inputs and the plastic top of the screen makes it less smooth then the screen on the Iphone. But it needs less pressure then the Nokia 5800, which is good.

It is also slow when going through the menu which bothered me a lot considering how new of a phone it is. <a href="http://www.future-review.com/n97-processor-only-434-mhz">The processor</a> is probably the problem running at only 434MHz

<span style="font-family: mceinline;">Interface:</span>

<img class="alignleft" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3388/3579243257_94a43882ba.jpg?v=0" alt="N97 hands on by you." width="210" height="158" />

The front screen offers a widget style homescreen were you  can put your favorite app like facebook or the weather anywhere you feel like.

You can easily add and remove the app by clicking on the widget for a second and choose to delete it or replace it. This is a little like the Omnia HD but with a more user friendly interface and also a more organized homescreen.

From the main screen you can access to shortcuts like your alarm by pressing on the clock and access the network settings by pressing on the top right icons.

You can download more widgets and apps form the OVI store which just launched a couple of days ago.

The Menu is the same as on almost every N-series phone with the grid pattern organization. Easily changeable and has a cool animations.

<span style="font-family: mceinline;">GPS &#38; Maps:</span>

<img class="alignleft" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2479/3579243377_2033e91b9a.jpg?v=0" alt="N97 hands on by you." width="210" height="158" />The Maps loaded quickly and goes to the last remembered spot you were at.

The GPS did not work because I was under a big roof. SRY

Navigating was easy and smooth, even when downloading unknown areas. It felt a little too much like google earth on the Iphone.

<span style="font-family: mceinline;">Camera:</span>

<img class="alignleft" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2463/3579243511_5e735f3f51.jpg?v=0" alt="N97 hands on by you." width="210" height="158" />The 5 mp camera feels a little improved over the N95. It takes the same amount of time to take the picture but the result seems to be more impressive.

The duel LED flash works great and will surely lighten up the scene. But Xenon flash would be the best and I don't understand why high-end camera phones like the Omnia i8910 HD and the N97 don't have it.

There seems to be some extra features on the side panel that I did not have the time to get to.

<span style="font-family: mceinline;">Keyboard:</span>

<img class="alignleft" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3366/3580054844_16e588f090.jpg?v=0" alt="N97 hands on by you." width="210" height="158" />The keyboard is awesome. A texters dream. The keys are easy to press and they are spaced apart enough for people with big thumbs.

The amount of pressure needed is a the right spot and you know when you pressed the key.

The space button is what bothered me at first. As you can see it is located at the bottom right. You probably can get used to it, but I couldn't the time I was there, I always spaz out when I need to click space bar.

As you can see the lights on the send/end key is messed up and will be fixed on the final version of the phone.

<span style="font-family: mceinline;">Simple Conclusion:</span>

<img class="alignleft" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3658/3580054832_86b5444eb0.jpg?v=0" alt="N97 hands on by you." width="210" height="158" /> The phone is great. A little slow, but feels good in the hand and the slide out keyboard is awesome. I would recommend this to people who like texting and want a Nokia phone that is sure to make a great depute when it is finally releases.

I have to add though that I haven't had the chance to see the Omnia i8910 in person yet. But after reading some user reviews on the internet, it looks quite promising. And spec wise it looks much better then the N97.
