Nokia Windows Mango 7.5 Phone Review - The Good & The Bad Things

When everybody was expecting Nokia to finally adapt to Android OS, the Finnish cellphone manufacturer decided to count upon Microsoft for improving its market presence. It was 6 months back, Nokia officially announced that its new phone will be running on Windows. And the company has recently launched two Windows phones, Lumia 800 and 710 in market. Running on OS 7.5 Mango, both the phones have received a mixed response in market. Now, the next big question is, will Nokia be able to re-establish itself in the market with Windows mobile? Microsoft’s Philosophy Microsoft doesn’t believe in post PC World. The software giant has always tried to keep the products in its very own ecosystem. This is quite apparent when we see that most of the Microsoft’s software are compatible with most PCs. Recently, Microsoft has disappointed consumers by announcing that there would be no tablet edition of Windows 7. The next version of Windows, i.e. Windows 8 will ru

The latest entrant by Nokia looks stylish, feels great in hand, and comes with lot of features at a pocket friendly price. Nokia has released the phone in shades of Blue, Red, Green, Pink, Black& White and every unit comes with 2 additional back covers. If you are a Nokia phone lover, this new entry is a delight for you. One thing I would like to emphasize about is the look and feel of the phone. Though, Nokia 500 is 14.1mm thick but it feels so sleek and light weighted in hand. Nokia has not compromised with the quality of plastic body and the phone is definitely sturdy. Nokia 500 has 3.2 inch capacitive touchscreen with nHD display for an improved view. It has ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts the display brightness, proximity sensor for turning off the display automatically, and accelerometer sensor

Why Shop Online?

The online shopping trend is about to explode. With so many retailers and even big brands following the same trend, we can say that eCommerce is going to be the next boom in the industry. However, online shopping is still in an evolving stage in India. I am amazed to see how dramatically the number of online shoppers is increasing in the country. It was estimated that air and rail tickets of whopping INR 30 crore are sold online everyday. Online shopping is hassle free and yes, we all are slowly adopting this trend. What are those “good things” about online shopping, which make it so addictive? Let’s talk about them: You Get More Options Just Google about a particular product you want to purchase and thousands of results will be displayed on the screen within a few seconds.

Difference Between iPhone 4 & iPhone 4S

Talks about the launch of Apple iPhone 5 were in the air for the last 6 months or so, but Apple gave tech lovers a shock by introducing the iPhone 4S. Not many people know that iPhone 4S shares specs similar to what could have been in the rumored iPhone 5. Targeted as “the next generation iPhone”, iPhone 4S is not bigger or sleeker than iPhone 4 (dimensions are same) but the device weighs 140grams (iPhone 4 weighs 137grams). But, what is under the hood is definitely astounding.  So, what makes iPhone 4S better than iPhone 4? The iPhone 4S has dual core Apple A5 processor, which makes the phone twice as fast as iPhone 4. The new intelligent antenna system will not only improve the call quality, but also increase the connection speed. How can we miss out on the all-new and much talked-about iOS5 and Siri. Using both, you can make your device perform multiple tasks just by speaking. You can ask questions like “Which day is Christmas falling this year?” or “The weather in Delhi” a
