Review of Nokia X 2: good keyboard, rugged construction

There was a time when the phones with full keyboard were reserved for mi - phones top of range.  Time flies indeed quick and affordable Nokia X 2 (aka X 2-01) is certainly an attractive option for people looking for easy messaging budget device.

Physically, it is a striking face.  The design is identifiable with the global Nokia aesthetic however when it comes to chocolate bars QWERTY, this is certainly a little more boring and plastic-heavy.  Despite being a solid and feels a little sustainable.  The display is an LCD screen of 2.4 inches with a resolution of 320 x 240, which is very good for a phone of this type.  Keyboard is really good, with keys in the form of dome and a spacious arrangement.

As a phone Nokia X 2 delivered appeal of good quality with clear voice and a sufficient volume.  Those on the other side has reported a similar positive experience, although it said it was clear that the call was made from a mobile phone.  Loudspeaker, unfortunately, is lower than the average, with its cutting often.  Battery is rated 4.5 hours of talk time.

The functions are largely fundamental.  You get a book of addresses-contact-1000, a variety of PIM tools, a variety of options of the appeals, stereo Bluetooth and fundamental Messaging.  The more advanced things are Webmail (POP3 and IMAP4), IM on the web and a community portal for Facebook and Twitter feeds.  There is also a full HTML browser, which is a pain to use with the EDGE connectivity and the small screen.  Everything is usable, but surely you see the difference if you have the habit of working with smartphones.

The camera is only VGA, so it is really not worth bothering with, other than for filming of emergency situations.  We like the music player, however, which is a little more advanced than what you normally get this affordable housing.

The Nokia X 2 is generally a decent rationale equipped handset which must respond to the needs of the most basic users.  The price is very pleasant, also to $64.99 for T-Mobile prepaid.

Drive locks first sprint down your phone Android while you drive

Conduct by looking at your phone is always a very bad idea for people with two eyes.  I have three (no, really), but I always find a dangerous activity I would not treat.  The reader Sprint provides firstly that we even not inclined to look at this little fun thing.

A new application which is designed to run on Android, it uses the on-board GPS handset to calculate the speed at which you travel.  When the speed is suggested that you are on a vehicle, all of the features that distract the phone will be immediately put on lockdown.

Once activated, will first lead to send all calls directly to voice mail, as well as to remain quiet when you receive a text message.  Instead, it will be auto-répondre to all incoming SMS with a message that informs the sender that you are not available.  Only three applications that you specify will remain available on your phone, so you can still get your navigation tower by Tower and music apps where you need it.

Because the measure your speed, the application will be lock the phone even if you are travelling as a passenger.  In these cases, it provides an override button allows you the full functionality of the device to resume.  It will probably suck when the JPA deals while you are in a round of angry birds record setting, but it is the price you pay for security.

The first station is preloaded on all sold through Sprint Android smartphones.  Use is not free, but with a monthly subscription of $2.  Launch is planned in the third quarter.

Final Fantasy III review: big checks, tiring 20 years Gameplay

If you own a DS, you may chance to Final Fantasy III for the platform, which is approximately four years (on the basis of the FFIII origin 20 years ago) is released.  Well, is an improved version now available for iOS, players of iPhone give a chance to play the classic RPG title.

Then from the DS version, this new iteration seems actually much better - the details are more complete, textures are richer and colors appear more vivid.  Although it is far as visually exciting as some of the most beautiful exhibit iOS, that we have seen, it works well.  Re-engineered controls feel much about the touch screen, with a virtual thumbstick for character movement and almost all the elements of the game are available for eavesdropping.

FFIII gameplay is the standard rate for RPG, especially for those who have grown up around the modern games in the genre.  Note that square first designed this game, twenty years for most of the elements here is probably already familiar to you (some will be even border on cliché and others, pure and simple of usefulness expired).  The battles at random, useless who are doing everything to make your move forward, for example, can be exhausted, both as the predefined l'avare save points.

Gameplay tower by Tower can slowly feel the players used to dynamic RPG action, in particular those of self battle animations and sequences of victory.  If you are ready to plough in this way, you can enjoy a game seriously challenge which requires a lot of time and strategy to get well.

We do not know how today is to a game like Final Fantasy III will.  If you have a difficult challenge and are willing to live with some relatives of the old school, retro game should be up your alley.  However, it is a little too rich price, $15.99.

Created by the same people behind the Aircell Axxess communication systems, the handset runs Android OS, but there is no word if it is a regular construction or a more closed custom version.  The main selling point remains voice communication, of course, with the "voice quality in aviation through a number of integrated technologies." and design function

Aircell Smartphone details are scarce.  So far, but the company confirmed that it is a 3.8 inch touch screen, Bluetooth and an audio Jack will have.  If the photo is correct, then the candybar form factor makes it look more closely to the older models of phone screen tactile modern smartphones.  The handset is equipped to use wired and wireless.

What can we say, this is not exactly the kind of thing that you can buy together in your next flight, though.  Instead, the handset will be business owners charged (at least, in the implementation) jet for use on private flights.

With 4 inch poster apparently value the average size of screens touch smartphone this year, our phones become too important.  Samsung think that it is now too big to convert your ear to the appeals, therefore they create it: the Slimstick Type Bluetooth Headset Samsung.

A rectangular plate similar in size with a pen, it is actually a Bluetooth receiver with a loudspeaker and a microphone, you instead of the real phone can use hardware to enter on your face.   There is a clip on one side of the body, so you can get it to a Pocket as a tuck pen.  If this whole matter sounds Dorky, well, this is the kind of, but everything seems functional.

The Samsung Slimstick can pair with up to two phones simultaneously, with a vibrator integrated to alert you when calls arrive.  We recommend that it is a good alternative if you do not have a headset permanently connected on your ear.

With great phones and tablets with phone operation probably a staple of gadget for many people this year, this Bluetooth "pen" excellent third party accessory.  Now, if capacitive stylus that Samsung has just be added to one end of this pen, I would be already lining to get one.

No word yet on when the Slimstick Type Bluetooth Headset Samsung will emerge, nor are all the details on the announced price.  He is currently on the floor at the CTIA in Orlando show, parts with many mobile Samsung products exhibit space.

Rio review angry birds: levels of Fun, Nice innovations

My expectations were not so high for Rio angry birds.  Video games with tie-ins ran movie traditionally businesses looking for a quick buck - especially in the casual games space.

Gameplay remains faithful to the original game.  You take flightless birds on a tour with the aim of: bringing it down.  Instead of killing pigs, however, they it a little change to add elements of the film: the first world, catapult you your birds to burst their cages other birds; in the second your tries to kill evil monkeys; on the last level launch you birds to Nigel, the main antagonist in the film.

Rio angry bird had a total of 60 well designed levels, which have different levels of challenge and enjoyment.  The game feels slightly updated from the previous example, with an improved interface, Parallax scrolling and more collectible.  Controls and physics solid remains as before.

My expectations were low, angry birds Rio provided a nice surprise.  This is not what film marketing designed for quick access rush buck-some of the changes here can really make the original much better game, especially the level of boss at the end.  You can make it to the App store for 99 cents.

Five players of free music for Android

Much was said on the stock at least music player that desirable to Android.  Then only usable, the software is heavy to handle for the collection of great music and there is little to play with additional functionality.  Fortunately, there are a whole series of apps ready to fill the role of a fuller-featured alternative.  Here are five of our favorite Android market free music players.

In cubes. One of the most beautiful interfaces that we have seen on a music player, casts a three-dimensional cube which shows the art of the album on the face of sport.  You can use your collection artist or album, beating the cube rotate vertically, horizontally, move and your artists in alphabetical order.  The actual player functions are fairly standard, although they are a list of upcoming shows for artists, which some people should find useful currently playing.

Winamp. Yep, is that you probably the same Winamp on your PC with just a few years previously available on Android.  It has all the usual bells and whistles, with a few additions nifty, such as synchronization with your desktop Winamp Library and integrated Shoutcast radio wireless.

Songbird. I love Songbird on the PC, despite its many shortcomings.  While the desktop version tries too much for his own good, version Android scales hard offers, a very simplified player in particular is pure and simple.  Extras are the integration of Facebook and a stream of Flickr photos for artists now play.

Meridian. While there are a JPA, the open a pro version enough on its own which is advanced I've never bothered to upgrade.   An Android app individual general competition, filled with media functionality, that extends the support files, offers a wide range of gesture based actions (for example, 10 seconds by a vocal attacker), bring texts and offers an experience of usability generally higher than many similar titles on the market.

MixZing. If you iTunes Genius, then you MixZing, whose engine recommendation at the heart of the function set.  Once you start playing a song, it will begin searching for 20 songs to recommend your queue, where you can add or remove.  In this case that you recommend asked that the songs from your library, it has that also with follow it previews embedded in the interface for rapid decision making.  Other features include an equalizer, additional information on the integration of the artist play and last.IMA
