NOKIA OFFERS SPECIAL LUMIA EXCLUSIVELY FOR T-MOBILE

It’s been a talk of the tech industry that the coming Windows Phone, the Nokia Lumia 920, will be exclusive to AT&T, however if you’re a T-Mobile fan, don’t get so upset just yet because the Nokia has something special in store for T-Mobile  customers: the Lumia 810.

Probably, this is your first time to hear about this type of 810 model. The Lumia 810 is a new product released by Nokia the company. Although the giant firm didn’t unveil this device in their big launch event last month for the Lumia 920 and 820 smartphones, this variant of 820 has its own industrial design and was made to work only with T-Mobile’s speedy HSPA+ Network.

Having similarity with the 820, the Lumia 810 looks decent in his cyan or black casing. With its 4.3-inch OLED screen, 8-megapixel rear-facing camera, and 1.2 MP front-facing camera, you will definitely enhance your photo and video capturing experience.

Nokia Lumia 810 also has the powerful features of Windows Phone 8, such as the cool augmented-reality City Lens that’s powered by Nokia Maps, Nokia Drive turn-by-turn navigation, and Nokia Transit directions for public transport. Although you will likely think that the Lumia 820 is a PureView camera due to its new Cinemagraph and Group Shoot settings, it actually doesn’t have the same low-light ability and image stabilization that the Lumia 920 has.

According to T-Mobile, the Lumia 810 will be available in the market by the month of November. However, no price was made mentioned.

AT&T TO CARRYANOTHER SMARTPHONE (NOKIA LUMIA 920) EXCLUSIVELY TO THEIR NETWORK, YET AGAIN

If you think that Nokia Lumia 920 suits your taste, it is better that you give credits to AT&T. The leading provider in telecommunications services announced last October 4, 2012 that their company will be carrying another smartphone to their network and exclusively in the U.S.

Even if AT&T hasn’t come up with the Nokia Lumia 920’s pricing yet, the provider still admitted that they are sure that such smartphone will join their line-up of selected phones in November including the Nokia’s smaller brother, the Lumia 920.

The exclusive partnership of Nokia with AT&T over the Lumia 920 has boggled the minds of the many, since Nokia’s goal is to sell the phone to as many customers as possible. However, with the decision to choose only one carrier, which is the AT&T, it limits the customers’ quantity. It’s been a common scenario that AT&T usually insists on smartphone’s exclusivity, especially in Nokia and Microsoft’s case which are known for having a poor share in the recent market. According to IDC, the entire platform of Windows Phone has only garnered 3.4% in the market share which is very unfortunate.

The phone manufacturer revealed the Lumia 920 last September showing its amazing features such as City lens (augmented-reality map) and improved cameraphone technology. However, it was found out that the video and most of the photos that showcased the model’s abilities were simulated and not taken by such phone.

The Asus PadFone: Is it Just another Smartphone?

Have you ever heard of a transformer tablet? How about a device which can be a phone/tablet/hybrid laptop all at the same time? Is there such a thing already? Absolutely yes, introducing then the Asus PadFone as probably the only successful enough smartphone that can offer you a tablet and hybrid laptop all-in-one. Primarily as a smartphone in itself is what’s interesting and unique is with the Asus PadFone Features also includes it being used as a tablet and eventually a hybrid laptop later on. Well, seems to be a new concept on its own is it can be likened with the Motorola Atrix in powering bigger devices on its accessories and docks.

The PadFone on the other hand uses itself to power and run its docking station which is a 10-inch tablet (PadFone station) complete with its own batteries as having yourself now a tablet. Furthermore with its additional accessories is you can even step a bit further by attaching a PadFone station dock (keyboard) to it in making it now a hybrid laptop cool isn’t it? Anyways let’s break it down into pieces in evaluating each PadFone feature accordingly together with most Asus PadFone reviews as well that I’ve been reading and including my own. As for the Asus PadFone price is it can be pricy costing around close to a grand in U.S. dollars.

As a Cellphone

If ever the PadFone itself would only be a smartphone is I can say it’s already pretty much excellent and good enough as it is in competiting with other smartphones as well. Running on a 1.5 GHz dual-core Qualcomm processor and powered with an impressive 1,520mAH battery lasting on a full day. With an 8-megapixel rear camera is it captures crystal clear images for you and it can also record full HD videos on it as well. More so with its magnificent 4.3 inch Super AMOLED display giving you rich colors and still viewable on bright sunlight is the PadFone smartphone would be an amazing phone to have.

As a Tablet

If the 4.3 inch screen would happen to be not enough for you then you can easily switch your PadFone smartphone on a wider 10 inch tablet. As a tablet is it lets you work on a wider screen which would be better in taking notes, viewing videos and so on as you can even have its stylish head set stylus to use with it. Completely run by your smartphone is it has all the available features on the phone present on your tablet which you can work on a bigger screen as if you’d like even make calls on it.

As a Hybrid Laptop

True enough looks like a typical laptop when completely transformed into by slipping on its snap-on keyboard is the only addition here is simply that. Kind of like almost a laptop in a sense is the only added feature are the keyboards is its perfect in getting you to type or encode on something on your phone in using the keyboard processes.
