Lightning by Dell
Apr 23rd
This device really caught my attention, first this Smartphone is going to have Windows Phone 7 which is an interesting operating system by Microsoft, second – it’s a slider and it has a QWERTY keyboard. Microsoft is insistent on only three hardware buttons – back, windows and search – I guess Dell thought they can do better than that. And by the looks of this device, they have got a winner.
Don’t just go by the looks, the specs are great too – 1GHz QSD8250 Snapdragon processor, WVGA 4.1-inch OLED display, AT&T and T-Mobile 3G, five megapixel autofocus camera, 1GB of flash with 512MB RAM plus 8GB of storage on a MicroSD card, GPS, accelerometer, compass, FM radio, and full Flash support including video playback.
I have no idea about Windows Phone 7’s battery usage still I’d have preferred a 1500 mAh battery and I really hope the memory is expandable to 32 GB cause these days I can’t do with anything less than that cause these Smartphones are very good media consumption devices and I love to full them up with lots of media.

Ovi Store Update
Mar 30th
After yesterday’s schedule maintenance, Ovi Store now spots a new client with lots of new features.
As requested, the rating system has been improved. Now it is 5 star instead of 3 star. This would actually help in recognizing which app is worst, bad, ok, good or best.
The apps and games now have lengthier descriptions, additional screenshots and the review system has also been revised. Now you can see number of reviews an app has and you can rate or review the app only if you have downloaded it, I guess this will make the reviews worth reading. The reviewer’s device and the date when the review was posted is also mentioned along with the review.
The desktop experience has also improved. If you are not logged in and click to view content you are linked immediately to "Nokia Mobile Device Selector." This is the most logical thing and it ensures that the content shown is relevant to you. You can easily change your device by clicking the "Select Your Mobile" link at the upper right hand corner of the page. The interface is now cleaner and there is list-based view of content that makes it easier to choose items of interest.
Ovi Store has come a long way from it’s initial offering. And is now as good as any other app store. The current improvement prove that the Ovi Store guys are listening to the suggestions and complaints of people. So keep giving feedback to further improve the Ovi Store.
N97 vs. E72 camera test
Mar 21st
As promised in the first part, here is the camera test images. The images on the left was captured in E72 and the images on the right was taken on N97. No sophisticated method is used, I’ve simply asked my friends and family which image was better after showing them images from both the smartphones side by side.
This Image was taken in low light. flash was fired. N97’s image looks better.
Whereas on this image E72 taken on close-up with no flash E72 fared better than N97
This image was taken on low light with flash, here also N97’s image is better than E72’s.
It’s hard for me to decide which one is better, N97’s image is a bit darker. Which one is better according to you???
In this image two of them are almost similar.
Both the images were taken with flash in semi-dark conditions and I think E72 fared better.
some more random images taken on E72 -
This is the first camera test I’ve done and I did not know how exactly to do this so please tell me if there are any mistakes, comments and suggestions are always welcome. I’ll try to improve things next time.
