Is the iPhone Any Good?

Posted on March 23, 2023 by schatzi

The iPhone is much more than a phone. Everyone knows these facts by now and many have purchased an iPhone. One problem still remains. Many people are not maximizing the value of their iPhone. Too many people are content with making calls, sending texts and playing a few games.

The iPhone allows for a truly immersive experience, if only the user looks a little deeper into what they can do.

Where most of the benefits appear to the iPhone is through the well-known Apple App Store. Finding this virtual marketplace is fairly simple, just click on the “App Store” icon that should be on the first screen. This will pull up an almost limitless array of different application for the device.

To wander aimlessly through the many aisles in the App Store would prove to be a waste of time. One has to know what they are looking for. While Apple does separate the apps into different categories, one still needs to further narrow their search.

Some great features of the iPhone include:

News: the iPhone can be a one-stop shop for news gathering. Whether it is the New York Times, CNN or an independent source, most news outlets feature a free application.

Weather: the standard is the Weather Channel application with features all you would need to know about your forecast.

Games: the choice is up to the individual users in terms of spending money on games. There are myriad choices to browse through on the free games section. While the quality of the games which cost money are surely better, if a simple experience is all that one wants, the free section provides sufficient options.

Social Media: depending on the level of online interactivity, one can choose to download the free apps from Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and MySpace, to name a few.

Sports: many individual leagues offer a premium service to watch live video of their action. Other sources, such as ESPN offer free apps which offer scores and highlights. The choice is left to the user.

This is just a brief summary of what the iPhone can do. iPhone users must break away from the idea that their phone is just a phone, apps make the device into almost whatever the user wants it to be. Go explore and enjoy the huge features and benefits of the Apple iPhone.

Samsung Galaxy I7500 Mobile Phone Review – A Highly Reliable Smartphone

Posted on March 22, 2023 by schatzi

The Samsung Galaxy i7500 is enthralling users across the world as being the first Samsung mobile to support the famous Android OS. We’ve learned that its speedy internet, its bright, super responsive AMOLED screen, its capable camera, and other features are also worth a second look.

Appearance:

When it comes to looks, the Samsung Galaxy doesn’t turn a lot of heads. It’s not ugly, but it’s not eye poppingly gorgeous either. At 119 g, it’s not the lightest phone ever either. However, its spartan looks may appeal to those who like a more uncomplicated look to their phones. Its black plastic interior, silver accents, and no nonsense button designs make for a low profile look. In addition to this, we didn’t find any oddly placed buttons or crevices-the camera button and 3.5 mm headphone jack are all easily accessible.

Its 3.2 inch sixteen million colour touch screen is a wonderful addition, however. Big, bright, and stunningly crisp and clear, this is definitely a screen designed to make viewing everything from videos to internet browsers a wonderful experience. It’s also wonderfully responsive as well, to the point where tapping out texts and emails on its onscreen QWERTY keyboard. If the exterior design seems a bit plain, the screen certainly makes up for the lack.

As for the OS, Android provides its audience with a highly enjoyable user experience. However, it’s not as flawless or as nifty looking as some other phones. Fortunately, you can get a variety of shinier applications at the Android Market, many of them for free.

Sound:

There isn’t much to fuss over regarding sound quality-it remains crisp and flawless, with no trace of warping or crackling. In addition to its 3.5 mm headphone jack, you also get an FM radio, polyphonic and MP3 ringtones, and a fairly basic music player that supports mp3, WM, eAAC+, and RA formats. It’s nothing revolutionary, but it gives you what you need.

Camera:

Its 5 megapixel camera is certainly a nice touch. Combine autofocus, a LED flash, an image stabiliser, and geo tagging capabilities and you have a desirable little camera. We would have liked to see a Xenon flash rather than LED, but it’s powerful enough to light up most areas. You can record and play videos as well, which will be a real treat on the Galaxy’s awesome screen.

Internet connectivity:

The Galaxy has everything you need to stay connected, regardless of where you roam. It features 3G HSDPA, WLAN WiFi, Bluetooth A2DP, GPRS, EDGE, and micro USB capabilities. Its quadband technology also ensures you can continue using the phone in other countries if the need be. In addition to this, the Galaxy is also compatible with YouTube, Google Search, Google Maps, GPS navigation, and more. While it isn’t as dedicated toward social networking sites such as Facebook or Twitter as other phones, they are still easily accessible.

Memory and Talk Time:

With eight gigabytes of memory plus 16 additional gigabytes available in a microSD card, you should have enough space to store most of what you need. However, with only 3.8 hours of talk time and 290 hours of standby, you may need to charge this phone often, especially if you use it heavily.

Conclusion:

The Samsung Galaxy i7500 is an ideal phone for a lot of reasons. It’s amazingly vivid, responsive touch screen is a wonder to use in itself. Its camera and internet connection make it worth consideration as well. However, it’s not as shiny when it comes to aesthetics or operating systems as say, the iPhone or some of its competitors. This, however, may not necessarily be a bad thing, especially for those who prefer a more low key phone.
