My Best Friend - Mobile Phone

As you grow older, your circle of friends started to shrink. Its not like you loose them, but communication between us gets less frequent. I still remember the days when I use to spend almost everyday with my friends. But now its only work and home. Though we get busier and busier in our life, there is one friend which is always there with us. Yes that great friend is our "Mobile Phone". 

 

I have seen people when they have no one to talk and nothing to do, they start checking their mobile phone. Though there is no message or alert but still we like to see our Mobile Phone almost every hour. A good mobile phone can easily pass your time when there is nothing to do. You may have not talked to your friend for long time, but you can always check what he/she is up to through social networking sites. Our real friends are now shrunk into one gadget. There are many applications/games which you can always go to when not doing anything. I have a phone which fulfills my requirements and is best among various specifications and functionality. HTC One, though its not available anymore but its a very good smartphone. Its battery is superb (Non-removable Li-Po 2300 mAh battery), a very fast processor (Quad-core 1.7 GHz Krait 300) and a very good camera (4 Ultra Pixel). Its upgraded versions are now available which are even better.

The idea behind writing this post is just to give more thought on how/why "Our Best Friends" are now turned into "One Single Friend" i.e. Mobile Phone.

My First Smartphone

 
Ever since I got hold of Motorola Milestone XT 720, I was amazed to see so many features. Thanks to android platform which gives me so many useful applications for free. This is my first smartphone and I was overjoyed when I bought it 5 months back. The phone typically has fast processor, graphics are very fine and camera is superb.

One of the best features which I find in ths phone is the motorola phone portal, where if you are on wifi or USB internet you can directly open your phone on any computer. The phone will give you one web address which you can type on your computer and you can view all your contacts, photos, and sms's. You can also send sms's from computer screen while connected to phone through wifi or USB internet.

The mobile camera is of very good quality. There are features like auto focus and xenon flash. The phone is bit bulky but looks wise it is great. It has that manly look. The touch screen is good and equipped with gorilla glass.

Overall I find this a very good mobile device but few things which lacks in this are the low internal memory, battery usage (though it is affecting all android based phones).

Nokia N8 Vs Iphone 4

The mobile phone industry will going to see the tough competition in the time to come in the smartphone market. The two great devices which are coming up by two great companies are Nokia N8 by Nokia and Iphone 4 by Apple. I totally respect these companies for their technology and innovation. Both these companies are great in their respective field. Nokia, though loosing its giant status to other mobile phone companies but still managing the top position in many countries. So lets compare these two devices:

Screen wise: Both have similar screen length though Apple has done some advancement in its display. Nokia N8 has 360 x 640 pixels 3.5 touch-screen whereas Apple's new Iphone 4 has 640 x 960 pixel display. Also Apple has Retina Display Technology which is very impressive.

Camera wise: Nokia should now also include digital cameras in their product list. This N8 has a 10.2 mega pixel Carl Zeiss camera  and  xenon flash whereas Apple's Iphone only offer 5 mega pixels camera. Surely, N8 is a mobile cum digital camera and this is the strongest feature of Nokia's N8 and it beats everybody here.

Operating System: Nokia has launched a new operating system in N8- the Symbian^3 which is yet to be tested by common people. Nokia claims that it is a very advance version of all the previous operating systems but still people will tell the verdict. Apple is using iOS4 which Mr. Steve Jobs has told all of us in his Speech on June 7 and it is impressive. The Apple Iphone 4 is really fast, but we still have to test Nokia N8.

Features: The Nokia N8 has features like HDMI port and Dolby Digital Plus surround stereo, Xenon Flash, 12 megapixel camera, Ovi Services, 48GB of storage with a micro SD card, 720p video and it comes in multiple colours whereas Iphone 4 has Retina Display technology, applications, glass casing, three-axis gyro sensor, 326ppi display, games, apps folders, 64GB of storage and the impressive, power-saving, Apple A4 Processor, which has more than proved its worth in the iPad.

Applications: Nokia's Ovi Store is impressive and have some great applications which they are showing on Nokia World 2010 but comparing with Iphone applications which is currently best in the market does not have match. The applications in Iphone are far superior.

Price: This is the main comparison which all the common user will gonna compare first. Nokia's N8 is far cheaper then Apple's Iphone 4. Though the price in India for both the devices are not available but still Nokia does have an edge here.

Lookwise: I find Nokia N8 far better than Apple's Iphone 4.

So if you are looking for a phone's quality then go for Apple's Iphone 4 but still my heart says Nokia's N8 will give a tough competition to Iphone. Nokia has recently changed its management and it will take some time when Nokia will again regain its market.
