First there was a Jet, it was speeding too fast and gone out of control and plunges to the sea. It creates Waves strong enough to make everyone on board of the Jet swept across the sea and landing them on an island. They were abandoned by the Jet and the next thing they can do was to look at the Wave, hoping one day there might be someone came to the rescue. This isn’t the LOST series. This is what happened to Samsung Jet owners. A series of mis-promises that Samsung gave to Jet owners. Jet owners were lost, the only saviour is the Jetdroid. Worst of all, Samsung is urging Jet users to upgrade to their new handset Samsung Wave. Well, this is reality, this is business. Anyway, enough of some history lessons. Let’s move on to the real deal here. Samsung Wave S8500, the new handset from Samsung which bundled with loads of new tech never seen before in other phones. The most marketed ones are the Bada OS and Super AMOLED screen. Does it lives up to the hype? Continue Reading »

It seems like the smartphone wars doesn’t stop. Well, who want to? Whoever wins, get to eat a big chunk of smartphone pie, and cashes too. Nokia used to dominate this sector and it still does, but sadly, we can see this segment being eaten up by RIM (Blackberry), Apple of Iphone and Androids(HTC and Samsung mostly). Though, smartphones used to cost a big bucks. Nowadays, with aggressive pricing and marketing strategy from phone manufacturers, we can get outself some pretty kick-ass smartphones at wallet-friendly price.

HTC Wildfire

I start with the recently released Android incarnation from HTC. It is called the Wildfire. Well, catchy name, designed wise might not well suited to its nomenclature though. That might be changed if you get the red version of Wildfire. Oh, before I forgot, there are four colours available. Brown, black, red and white silver. Personal preference, white silver is the one to get. Thus, I’ve attached the picture here in silver.

….and the boring brown like you have seen in Desire as well.

Wifi stations are pretty common in big cities nowadays. Which makes sense to own a phone with wireless ability as it gives you free internet on the go. From my experiences, you still have be inside the premise (mostly restaurants and cafes) to enjoy better reception. What I did usually was to stand outside of the premise using my Samsung Jet to Google some information or just to chat with my buddies via MSN/Yahoo. While it does look awkward, but who cares? A better idea is to take a seat in the cafe and pretend waiting for someone. Ok, back to the topic, here are the list of cheap budget phones  for people looking for cheap phones with wifi without costing an arm and leg. And keep in mind that these list of cheap phones with wifi have gone through reviews with at least 7 out of 10 rating. I won’t recommend phones lower than that. These are the best budget wifi phones.

Smarter than a smartphone. Yup thats true if you’re a 6 year old kid, or living in stone age. This marketing scheme is controversial and misleading. Having a great hardware but crippled with crappy OS is certainly a curse to the 800MHz processing CPU as advertised. It doesn’t has smartphone features; installing additional applications is only limited to Java mobile platform. But on the other, it was still a great phone and best bang for buck if you’re not a techno geek and you basically looking for great multimedia features. Continue Reading »

Prepare to be invaded by droids. This year is the year of droids. In case you’re still wondering droids with AI cognitive ability, give a slap on your face. No, it doesn’t mean to punish yourself for being less informative, but to wake you up from your lucid dream; it’s 2010 man, not 2100. Manufacturer are beefing up their products with Android operating system. Apart from being open sourced, this OS was hugely popular and particularly stable as well. Well ahead of some proprietary OS like the one from Samsung, where memory leak is still an issue till this date, this includes the new Bada OS as well. Okay, enough of ranting. Here are some mobile phones worth of an upgrade this year.

There are numerous misconceptions among people in my country of this new technology, no thanks to an internet service provider which named their service as 4G where it only uses a celular technology called Iburst. It’s very misleading during the initial period back in 2years. But I believe they are losing business as everyone now jumped ship to WiMax here. Back to the topic, what is 4G? Continue Reading »

Many of you have come across iPhone, the “fruitful” phone which Apple invest much on its marketing campaign. Virtually every modern person on earth which doesn’t stay in caves anymore would have heard iPhone at least once for the past 3 years. While its newest competitor Android phones only started to surfaced like just a year ago and it isn’t as popular as iPhone, yet. Those who are looking for a sleek smartphone would have to consider these 2 popular mobile platforms. Each is different in a sense that it virtually boils down to what you really looking for in a smartphone. Continue Reading »

One thing which disappointed many Jet users is the limited amount of RAM that Samsung employed in the infamous smarter-than-smartphone Jet. Simply browsing a web site with very heavy content via the bundled Dolphin web browser will stop your current session and pop up a message indicating memory resource is low and you no longer able to continue with your current work, which is = =”. And the same happens when you open few applications at the same time, say a music player, Google maps, and message editor. Samsung is smart for not advertising the amount of RAM for this “smartphone”. Many were guessing the amount of RAM in their Jet(in Facebook and Darkforest); from as low as 16MB to a whopping 256MB. Well, neither were correct, the amount of RAM can be determined in the administrator menu. Continue Reading »

The short review on this phone was just a short explanation on the features. This phone was nice, but it lacks polish on the firmware. This review is to discuss its detailed features. Rant among those who bought-and-later-regret LG Arena users will be discussed as well. Continue Reading »
