Travel smart with your mobile phone

I remember my college days; we had gone up north for a pharmacy tour. This also involved travelling to Kullu, Manali, Chandigarh and Delhi. Every new hotel that we checked in, involved calling my parents through the reception. This in itself was like was a scary task as the connection was cranky, half the words were lost, so I had to fill in whatever I could not hear and many times I jumped to the wrong conclusion. The poor me dint have a choice and suffered a mini heart attack every time the hotels presented the bill before checking out. They burnt a hole in my wallet. Even when I had called, the conversation stuck to the most practical points as I could almost see the bill shoot up in my head while I sat in my room struggling to speak through a bad connection.

Now when I look back it all seems like the prehistoric times, what with the phone lines being dead most of the time along with the cross connections. Nowadays we don’t just have mobile phones and rent free roaming, but also while roaming the incoming is just a notch higher than the local calls and the outgoing is also quiet reasonable. Money is not the only factor that’s important here, there’s also the flawless connectivity minus shrills and continuous voice breaks. With mobile phones the convenience and quick access in case of emergencies of any kind is amazing besides being economical and essential while travelling. Though ensuring that the mobile phone has network access where you are up and moving and the battery being charged is important. Let’s also include the SMS, and the camera (which is a common feature in almost all phones), comes in handy while travelling. Now it’s a night mare to step out of the house without your mobile phone.

Dance to the tunes of Nokia N96

My first impression of the Nokia N96 was that it seems a cross over between the iPhone and the Nokia N95. Since I bought my Nokia online through MobileNXT.com, I got to examine it closely only after it was delivered home. On a closer look I realized that this mobile possessed the most intelligent features of both the phones, minus their not-so-happening-features.
Out here we will scrutinize the music part of it especially since it also covers the most loved feature of this phone, its 16GB memory…
This sleek Nokia mobile phone is compatible with Polyphonic, Monophonic, True tones and MP3s. The MP3 feature is the hot favorite as you can make playlists and add the tracks based on genres, artists, movies etc. Besides compiling of all your favorite songs there’s also a section that includes all the latest songs played, recent additions and the most played songs. So choosing the tracks to be played gets simplified, besides being quick.
With the equalizer feature, you can also set it on Bass booster, Classical, Jazz, Pop and Rock, ensuring that you enjoy all forms of music. Since this phone is a precursor of the N series of Nokia, the audio quality is exceptional, but then u can’t expect anything less from Nokia!
How can we forget the FM? This phone supports 20 radio stations (We don’t have that many in the city, but a t least you won’t miss out on any new radio stations...as and when they come upJ ) so you are always connected to the latest releases and local news. The Nokia N96 also sports a good loudspeaker, as in the sound doesn’t break and the voice throw is commendable so sharing your music or the conversation is a lot of fun.
So the next time you need a retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city, just plug in your N96 and let music take over.

Nokia N73..musically mine

Cant compromise with you music, then you have to own the Nokia N73. It’s just about any music lovers dream and since the day I have bought one, I have been zapped. Completely!!!
My Nokia N73 has an MP3 player that’s backed by 2GB microSD card. Though I have downloaded almost all my favorite tunes, there’s still some memory left:) . The music quality is phenomenal; even when I am in a noisy environment; the audio quality is brilliant enough to transport me into another world. Since I spend almost four hours of the day travelling in Mumbai locals, it’s my retreat from the chaos that ensues during that period. This mobile also has an inbuilt FM, though I am not able to utilize this much thanks to poor signals in the train. Once in a while it’s refreshing to hear those chirpy RJs and local news, but this remains restricted to my walk back home or when I am tired of my collection.
Another feature that I had missed in my pervious handset was a good loud speaker. This mobile has an impressive speaker phone with 3D surround sound. It makes it more fun to share music with friends and also the comfort to hear your phone ring loudly n clearly during an incoming call or SMS. Small pleasures of my life:). Talking about SMSs, this phone also features MMS and emails. Another cool feature is that you can copy and paste messages, though other Nokia phones also had this feature, I was lately enlightened by a friend about it. Since then I have found messaging a lot more fun.
Now we get to its camera…its 3.2MP with autofocus, LED flash, the works... Its fun to click and editing the results of my photographic urges has kept me happily engaged for hours. The results are brilliant, despite the fact that I am not very nimble with my fingers, I am able to boast of some beautiful images that I managed to capture all thanks to this little dedicated key for the camera.
This gizmo has internet connectivity, but I haven’t ever utilized that for some reasons…maybe I dint feel the need for it. With the astounding music quality, a brilliant camera and superb messaging features, I have been toooooo satisfied to ask for something more.

My new Nokia N96

Nokia N96 is here, but without the ‘in your face’ and loud marketing and yet it’s made its presence felt. Since the time I bought one, I have understood why. This little device goes by the standard of action speaks louder than words. Coming from Nokia, the market leaders in mobiles in India, it carries the reliability and trust that Nokia has maintained with its users. Let me tell you why I am so nuts about my new handset.
16GB internal memory which can be expanded by 8GB using a micro SD card
Did your jaws drop? Mine definitely did when I heard of this feature. As in, 16 GB is enough to make any one freak out on the possibilities of data storage, but imagine expanding it…Too good to be true.
5MP auto focus camera
There was another phone (I am sure you know which one I am talking about) that was launched with so much of pomp and show, bragging of some amazing features and fizzled out as it had some poor features including a camera of 2MP at an atrocious price. But not my Nokia, it’s arrived in style with a 5 megapixel autofocus camera with Carl Zeiss optics and powerful dual flash LED flash. Besides delivering beautiful pictures, it also records videos with VGA resolution at 30 fps.
Astounding audio quality
I love my music and so I love my N96. This little device has FM radio with RDS and to top that it has an MP3 player, ensuring that I have a blast while listening to music, brilliant audio quality and vast memory space enrich my experience.
Comfortable web browsing
With HSDPA and Wi-Fi, MY Nokia N96 enables a complete web experience with full page viewing. I can also download data, open attachments and remain connected via emails.
The two way slide
I saw a two way slide in a mobile for the first time and I was floored. It made operating the phone really cool and simple. I am no fan of touch screens, as I am not that nimble with my fingers so the well place key pad makes it easy for me to go about operating my N96.
The cute stand
This may seem a bit dumb to some people but find the stand really cute and propping my mobile on it to view my images and videos is quite a lot of fun for me.
Actually the list can go on…for those who still curious about this..log on to ..MobileNXT.com

My new dual SIM phone

In college, I was delighted when my parents gifted me a new mobile phone. It was all I could ask for, as I had been feeling terribly left out. Barring me, my whole gang had a mobile. Better late than never!!! A few days down the line, everyone had my number from my relatives to my neighbors. But god was in a good mood and as soon as I got employed I was rewarded with a new number, the best part was that the company would pay the bill. Awesome:) Till it sunk in that this meant pooling in money for a new mobile and above all handling two mobiles. I couldn’t quit my first number, everyone had it as I had been using it for three year and the new number was already on my visiting card. Damn!!! Damn!!! Damn!!! I had heard of dual SIM phones, but I wasn’t sure if they would be feature rich and what if they charged a bomb?I googled and came across mobileNXT.com. They had an entire range of dual SIM phones .Nice!!! I placed an order for Bleu 470x. If the convenience of getting the phone home delivered for just Rs.2 was not enough, the phone turned out to be a dream. Both my SIM’s are active at the same time, both have separate phone books, and the best part (though not so useful) I can call from one number to the other, within the mobile. Feature wise also the phone is well endowed. It has an MP3 player, an inbuilt FM, a 0.3 MP camera and the memory can be expanded to 1GB. WOW!! The icing on the cake…I could do away with handling two bulky handsets and instead flaunt this sleek phone and that too at an unbelievable price.Wanna check it out for yourself… check out MobileNXT.com

Nokia N96..Arrives

Talk about looking forward to owning a phone with awaited breath…that’s exactly how I am feeling as of now. My mind is reeling from the after effects of seeing the phone in action. The phone is beautiful in every possible way.
Coming from the N series, the phone has a rich sound quality (actually that goes without saying). 16GB of internal memory is sufficient to store all your data, but people who are hungry for more; they can expand it by 8GB using a micro SD card and if even that doesn’t meet your expectations, then heaven help you!! There’s also FM radio with RDS…just in case you still want more music.The brilliance is not restricted to the music. It also has a 5 MP camera with auto focus and double flash. Another thing that I liked about this phone is that it’s a dual slide. As in sliding the lower part gets you the keypad and the upper half has all the options for the camera. The pictures and video clips can be viewed in the landscape mode. There’s also Video recording where you can record videos at a speed of 20fps. I discovered something new in this phone and that was a cute little stand. Perched on this stand the mobile gives you a good view of all the images and clips. The front VGA is as of now dormant, at least till the 3G technology is launched in our country.
Its quiet obvious that a phone of this range will be internet enabled but what comes as a pleasant surprise is that it downloads data pretty fast. You can view full pages and the screen is large enough to allow a good read, without squinting. The design is also sleek, though it could have been a bit slimmer.
With a perfect balance in music and camera features, this phone has left other smart phones far behind.
