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.
Your phone can be put to many such uses, for more fun tips, check out MobileNXT.com

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.
