Arthas on Blizzard DOTA

A fan of DOTA?. You’ll love this because Blizzard, the company behind WoW, Warcraft and Starcraft has finally released a trailer of their own Blizzard DOTA. Don’t expect that the characters of DOTA and DOTA 2 will be on this game. The characters on this game are from Blizzard Universe. Yes, Blizzard not warcraft nor starcraft. Both characters in Starcraft and Warcraft will be here like Nova from Starcraft 2 and Arthas from Warcraft.

First Dual core phone from Cherry Mobile

Do you think dual core phones right now are too expensive for your pocket?. Think again, because Cherry Mobile just announced their newest Android phone powered by the Tegra 2. Yeah, POWERED BY TEGRA 2!. Cherry Mobile Magnum 2X is equipped with a dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 Cortex A9 processor, each running at a speed of 1GHz. Froyo (Android 2.2) is the OS that comes with this phone but you can upgrade it to Gingerbread soon. No word if you can update it to Ice Cream Sandwich. I’ve been thinking why they made the screen smaller from 4.1″ of the original Magnum to 3.8″. It has a 5 megapixel rear camera with VGA front cam. Too bad, there are no LED Flash. Cherry Mobile Magnum 2X is the cheapest dual core phone right now in the market. Dual core phones right now ranges from 23k-29k while the Cherry Mobile Magnum 2X has a SRP of PHP15,899

First of all, I want to say that I’m not a Nokia fanboy and this post is not sponsored by Nokia or any fanboy who wants to promote Nokia. Anyway, Nokia World 2011 is set at London a week from now. ~~Microsoft-~~Nokia and Microsoft are expected to unveil their newest Windows phones in Mango. Oh not the fruit. So are you ready for the Nokia World 2011?

So what are my thoughts?:

A Nokia Windows phone in Mango that looks like the Nokia N9. It will be called the Nokia 800.
More than one Windows phone will be unveiled tomorrow
I predict that there will be a cheap, midrange and a high end Windows phone that will be release next week.
if Nokia Windows phone will fail. Then we can say goodbye to Nokia and Windows phone and hello Microsoft Nokia division
Nokia are innovators but no one praise at their creations and achievements
Nokia Windows Phone will be one of the best mobile camera in the mobile industry
Windows Phone will increase its share because of Nokia

yeah yeah yeah. I love Nokia but I hate Symbian. I hope that Windows Phone can revive the glory that Nokia has a few years ago.

Nokia E6 Review

By

October 13, 2011

I know it’s a bit late, but hey better late than never! Anyway, if you still remember I borrowed a Nokia E6 from WOM World Nokia (Now called as Nokia Connects). Nokia E6 is the successor of the Nokia E72. Both feature a QWERTY keyboard but Nokia E6 is equipped with a capacitive touch screen and it is ran by Symbian Anna, the OS that was used on the new Symbian devices such as the Nokia X7, which I reviewed a few months ago.

Body, Camera and Construction

Nokia E6 is the QWERTY brother of the Nokia X7. It has the same specifications of the Nokia X7 except that this one has a smaller screen capacitive screen and a QWERTY keyboard. While the Nokia X7 focus on multimedia and games, this phone means business.

Stainless steel body

Like I told you earlier, this is the brother of the Nokia X7. Nokia E6 features a solid body just like the X7. It has a Symbian Anna OS. Yeah, there are home screen widgets too but they are limited 3 widgets per home screen but you can choose from 5 home screens compared to 3 home screens with 5 widgets each of Nokia X7.

The 2.46 capacitive touch screen of the Nokia E6 is a bit small for me but you can play Fruit Ninja on it. I even got a score of 997 on arcade. That’s the best I’ve had on Fruit Ninja so far. But hey, the screen is still small but it is so gorgeous thanks to the high ppi of the screen. As for the battery, yes you can remove it by just removing the stainless steel back cover then boom. You can now replace the 1500 mah battery.

There are 4 dedicated keys on the Nokia E6, the home, calendar, contacts and the mail button. I rarely use those buttons because I am fond of using the capacitive touch screen of the E6. ~~And again, just like the Nokia X7, the AMOLED Clear black display of the Nokia E6 didn’t fail me.~~ The Nokia E6’s TFT LCD was great (Thanks Alex of The Technoclast for pointing that out). Look how the Super Clear LCD of the Samsung Galaxy SL fared with the Nokia E6, I even thought it was using a AMOLED Display:

Galaxy SL versus E6

Use it as a mobile router

The camera, well, just like the X7 it has an EDoF 8 Megapixel camera. The camera is great when shooting objects at a distance but it sucks big time when you shoot objects near you like text documents. Here are some sample images of the Nokia E6:

At low light

The puppies are so cute!

cute!

Puppies not poops

As you can see. The camera focused on the object far away from it

University of Santo Tomas, oldest university in Asia

yeaaaah at low light

low light again!

It was a cloudy day

At Fort Bonifacio High street

Yeah, my blog’s URL at Blogapalooza

EDoF camera = Not good at objects near you

EDoF camera = Great for shooting at a distance

While here’s a HD video sample of the Nokia E6

Here we go again, Symbian

Just like any other Symbian phones, Nokia E6 experienced some crashes and slowdowns. Especially when this notification pops out:

That notification pops out whenever I choose the “Wifi only” on the preferred network data to use. Yeah, whenever it appears it slowdowns the phone, sometimes it crash. Anyway, if you used Symbian Anna before, this phone won’t be a headache for you. Apps were not so plenty compared to the other touch screen smartphones of Nokia maybe because of the screen resolution, 640 x 480. Other Symbian^3 phones uses 360 x 640 resolution AKA nHD. There are plenty of applications inside this phone like Quickoffice and Social.

Fruit Ninja!

Hurray! I’m addicted to it

Verdict

In 2 weeks, the Nokia E6 and I had a love-hate relationship. When I received the phone, I loved the hardware. The QWERTY keyboard is so sweet, for the first time since I bought a touch screen phone, I loved the QWERTY keyboard again. You’ll also love the solid and stainless steel body of this phone (Yeah, Nokia is known for making solid and great bodies of cellphones). The downside of this phone, once again, is the operating system. Symbian Anna always crashed whenever I used it. And just like what I told you about the Nokia X7, Symbian Anna still lags behind the iOS and Android. If you are looking for its Android counterpart, HTC has one, the HTC Chacha. Both features a touch screen but the HTC ChaCha is powered by Android and has a shortcut for facebook with its Facebook button just below the QWERTY keyboard. While for Blackbery, they have the Blackberry Bold Touch 9900, which is very expensive right now. Anyway, you can get this Nokia E6 for PHP11,800 only atWidget City.
