HTC Hero Battery Tests – Part 1: Normal Usage

Some Time ago i thankfully received a Set of Spare Batteries for my HTC Hero from Mugen Power Batteries. I have read Micky’s N97 Battery Tests on Nokiausers  prior to my own Tests and was amazed by the Power those Beasts were pumping out. Since the Android OS is not exactly a very power-saving OS, the stock 1350 mAh Battery died away pretty quick under my daily Conditions. I just had to do something about it and Mugen seemed like a very good Option for it. I tried and used 3rd party Batteries in the Past, but almost never got a reliable Solution, most of them were even less powerfull than the original One. So, did Mugen delivered what we are waiting for?

Man Bait – hilarious Nexus One Video!

I haven’t really blooged about the Google Nexus One Video, simply beause i don’t feel it’s worth the Hype. It’s also sure that i won’t get one for myself, as i wanna have a full QWERTY slide-out Keyboard again. Anyways, i stumbled upon this hilarious Video about the Nexus One just a minute ago. The Video is Part of a Google Campaign with selected Youtube Partners. They were asked to make a Video in which they incorporate the Nexus One. The results were really nice of all of the Partners, but this one made me almost fell of my Chair :D Why? Have a look!



My Phone of the Year 2009 is.. (Part2)

Continuing from my first Part of the My Phone of the Year 2009, i wanna give you a quick heads-up of what went down yesterday so far, here are the ranks from 9 to 6:

??

  • No.9 – Sony Ericsson Satio: a bug-infected SE handset with a great camera that sometimes appeared to have more issues than features.
  • No.8 – Nokia 5800XM: i already got a lot of response to this decision, keep in mind that this is based on my personal tastes and experiences, my choices might not go along with your thoughts, and they’re not supposed to do that. anyways, the 5800XM, despite having the best stereo speakers i’ve ever heard gave me a world of troubles, spanning from damaged speakers and display to a totally useless homescreen (unless you get some 3rd party app help).
  • No.7 – HTC/T-Mobile G1: The first ever google phone has sparked this Android love in me really well, resulting in eventually abandoning Symbian OS. But unfortunately the G1 was relatively unspectacular. Camera, Speakers, Battery Life .. nothing to really write a book about.
  • No.6 – Nokia N97: a feature-packed mobile computer, which some hate to death and some praise as Nokia’s savior. i’m kinda stuck in the middle. while i liked the form factor with its extremely solid slider hinge and the overall features, i found the keyboard to be extremely annoying, resistive touchscreen is a matter of taste (i’m clearly against it) and RAM/phone memory issues that shouldn’t be found on a flagship device, right?

So much for the End of my List, but now let’s find out who’s on top, shall we!? :)

My Phone of the Year 2009 is.. (Part1)

?? First of, sorry for not doing any Happy New Year Post – the reason is simple and very easy to understand, i almost completely took off from all the Internet Fuzz. I have spend a very nice evening with my half-sister in vienna, after that 4 straight days with my beloved girlfriend :) I enjoyed those days very very much and so did my girl! Still i wanna take a second and wish you the very best for 2010. i hope you had some great days and may all your wishes come true in this new year!

2 Days before the end of 2009, Friend of the Site, James Whatley has published a new Post over on the highly recommendable The Really Mobile Project-Blog called “My Phone of the Year“. The result of his thoughts were very interesting and surprised a lot of us, but at the same time, James’ points were very reasonable and actually gave the feeling he was right – if you wanna find out which Phone rocked James the most in 2009, head over to the Really Mobile Project and read on! Parts of this Post are taken from my Reply i did on TRMP, but i felt like doing a list on my own, and additionally tweaking it a bit. my list will be about Phones i have used in 2009, not judging by their actual Sales Dates! Ready? Let’s go..

Bravo, HTC!?

HTC bravoJust reading through some Feeds this Morning, and the folks of Engadget have caught my Attention with the un-official Presentation of a possible upcoming Beast from HTC, which was rumored for some Time now. Yes, the HTC Passion (or Bravo, how it might be called in Europe) has appeared now in a tasty Picture and boy, does this thing look nice. And it looks even nicer when you take a Look at the rumored Specs – as stated by Engadget:

Coming up: Mugen Battery Tests!

hli_heroslI’m really happy to announce, that i will expect some very interesting – and i’m sure extremely helpfull in daily Life Usage for my beloved HTC Hero! Asian 3rd Party Battery Supplier Mugen Power Batteries has agreed in sending me both Versions of their very succesfully selling Replacement Batteries, to put it through their Paces and perform some Tests on it. Now i know what some of you might think immediately: Yes, we had 3rd Party Batteries before and most of them plain and simple, sucked! I had some before and i can tell from experience that more mAh’s does not neccessarily mean more Power!

With Mugen Batteries it’s different, Read the rest of this entry »
