Hit of the Week 4 and 5 – Two Rookies speak their Mind!

I know i’m late .. wow, this column was not very regular so far haha :D Anyways, this will change right now – and here’s what i got for you now: Two Symbian Freak Members from India were recently lucky enough to score some shiny Trial Devices from WOM World Nokia and well, what can i say, they wrote their first ever Reviews! Arun (Twitter: @arun8gb) and Siraj (Twitter: @sirajsoft) did their best, presenting their devices with a Ton of Pictures and Screenshots over at their respective Sites.

So if you wanna see what two motivated, young Indians have to say about the Nokia N97, check out the Links below and tell them what you think! Writing a first Review is always something very exciting, giving your Best to impress the People you’re talking to and writing with. My Opinion? Job done Boys, very nice Work!! :)

Nokia N97 and Nokia N82 video face-off

I received my Sennheiser CX300-IIs today, so I thought why not record using both phones. They’re now breaking-in thanks to the N97 (and Pink Noise)

Another unboxing of the Nokia N97

Hello,
My name is Afzal Najam, also known as eViLrAcEr and AfzalivE at Symbian-Freak. Mostly known for compiling the UltraPyModulePack.

I was contacted by Nokia WOM World on January 13th asking me which device I would like to trial and then they told me that they have an N97 available at the moment. It was my first opportunity to do something like this so I gladly accepted it.

Excited to death because I never used a touchscreen phone before! (well, except trying out iPhone…which failed to impress me)

So here I am 10 days later with a Nokia N97 in my hands for 2 weeks and since I am in Canada right now…it will be my utter delight to tell these phone-deprived people the real potential of Symbian smartphones…they’ve been living off berries for too long :D

Here’s the unboxing video (my first one) recorded with my still-awesome N82

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..
