Motorola Dext
Motorola surprised market watcher with a good Android smart phone: Motorola Dext. Traditionally, HTC dominated the android market. The much touted google phone did not do what it claim to do, to claim market shares from the iphone. If there are any chances of that, the Motorola Dext might hold a better chance.
Motoblur
The smartphone comes as a slider with Qwerty keypad. The Dext is meant to make social networking a breeze. The phone contains motoblue, which is a function that synchronises information from different sources including twitter, facebook and gmail and display them in 1 screen.
This smartphone will be handy for people on the go, especially if they don’t want an iphone.

Blackberry Bold 9700 Phone
The famous Blackberry proves itself once again that extinction is not in it’s dictionary with Blackberry Bold 9700. The blackberry 9700 replaces the previous buggy blackberry bold, without the bugs, with a newer OS and with a faster processor.

Don’t expect too much from it’s 3.2 Megapixel camera though. The pictures taken are acceptable at best.
Overall the Blackberry Bold 9700 is a great improvement from the previous blackberry bold and is a great upgrade for blackberry lovers.

Sony Ericsson Naite Eco-green
Review
This has in the recent one week became my personal phone. While I was initially looking for a phone with more function, I was impressed by the fact that it was an eco-green phone and looks stylist without looking cheap.
The phone is simple to use and user interface is inutitive, especially if you have used an Sony Erisson phone before.
Good
Excellent battery life. As promised, the phone uses much less power in it’s standby mode. What I find is even the talk time is great, averaging 13 to 14 hours.
The phone is made from recycled plastic. It feels sturdy and I feel that it is not one of the delicate phones which will die on me just when I need it most.
The phone is cheap, you should be able to get it free with any subscription plans.
Screen is bright and clear. A pleasure to view
Bad
Camera quality is average, especially after trying other phones with much better cameras. Sound quality is acceptable, but I probably won’t use this as my walkman phone.
Conclusion
This simple phone is a wonderful reminder of what mobile phones should be, just phone without trying to be everything else. There is also the feel good factor of carrying an eco-friendly phone. Once in a while, I do miss better quality cameras in my other phones.
]]>The worm was created by 21 year ld student Ashley Towns. He is said to have created the worm to create awareness of the security flaws in the user’s iphone.
Currently, it seems like the worm only affects iPhones which has been “jail broken” (In which user’s phone operating system is changed to allow them to run any software), and users who did not change their default password of “alpine”
Thankfully, the worn does not major harm and is not malicious. But it has sure done it’s job of warning users to be careful with the security of their iPhones.

Review
Nikkon is well know for producing good quality lenses at a decent price. The D3000 SLR comes with AF-S Nikon 18-55mm Lens which allows the camera good, crisp images. This is actually a very good packaged lens compared to many other brands.
The camera is easy to handle for both beginners and for photographers who are familair with nikon camera. It can be a little daughting to people who are more used to cannon SLRs, but it shouldn’t take more than 1 day to figure out the quick buttons to apertures, shutter speed etc.
While switching aperture and shutter speed is easy, changing other parameters like exposure and ISO settings tends to be a little more trouble as there is no single knob i can use, but I suspect this helps with the simplicity of use for people who don’t change these parameters often.
The Nikon battery is of decent battery life, the new battery lasting an average of 500 shots before running out
.
The response time is almost instantaneous, and pictures are undistorted in most focal lengths even at the edges in bright lights. The night mode is average and images are noisy at ISO 800 and above.
The best part of the Nikon D3000 is the price, and it should be a good toy to carry around on holidays or more rugged trips. Overall, Nikon once again proved itself most able to produce maximum cost effectiveness in it’s SLRs with the D3000.

BlackBerry Curve 8520
It also did away with the usual trackball in exchange for a trackpad. Other features includes dedicated media keys for playing songs and videos, although I must say the screen is too small to be watching videos in comfort for long.
Connection wise, it supports Wi-Fi, bluetooth and 10 popular email services. Surfing speed and decent and I’ve no complains.
Overall, this is a usable but easy to carry around model for blackberry lovers.

The set come with MPEG AVC and DVB tuners and allows HDMI, S-video, USB and VGA input.
The buildin USB is one of the new features in LCD TVs that allows you to enjoy movies stored in any USB devices.
Overall, the Samsung Smart LED technology and Ultra Clear Panel performed well to produce sharp images with Vibrant colours. The design like all Samsung LCD TV, is stylish and a pleasant addition to the Home
