Samsung GT-i8510 Innov8 8MP camera Mobile Phone
October 9, 2008
Samsung GT-i8510 Innov8 3.5G Mobile Phone is the entry from the Samsung household for the hyped 8MP war that has already been commenced with the launch of Sony Ericsson C905 8MP Camera Mobile Phone. Though the first blood was drawn by Sony Ericsson, a number of big names like Samsung, LG and recently, Motorola have tend to follow and quiet aggressively too.
This mobile phone from Samsung, engages a Symbian operating system as its uer-interface that more than raises it to the status of a smartphone. When some of the most advanced communication download standards like HSDPA and UMTS along with the good old duo GPRS and EDGE. A WiFi aspect too stands tall here aspiring to connect this mobile phone to any of the available network in the vicinity. The A-GPS receiver that comes with this device is expected to work with Google maps, though this feature could be more often used for geotagging the images taken by the 8MP camera of this mobile phone. The large QVGA display of 2.8 inches diagonal size more than explains this phone’s display detailing capability. This is a touch screen. The Operating System deployed here, is a Symbian OS V9.3 S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2.
Samsung GT-i8510 Innov8 GPS Mobile Phone really flaunts its inbuilt camera of 8megapixels resolution. This camera further, comes with the blessings of a dual LED flash, an autofocus mode, an image stabiliser, face detection, panoramic stitching and a galaxy of features more that perhaps are imbibed directly from a Samsung compact digital camera. However, the video capture quality comes a cropper here compared with some of its rival phones. The multimedia player of this mobile phone that comes handy for an audiophile simply excels with DivX, AMR and RealAudio formats apart from the regulation AAC, AAC+, WMA, WMV, MP3 and eAAC+. This gadget also supports H.264 and H.263 video plus MP3. A set of strereo speakers enabled with surround sound also comes handy here.
This mobile phone, further comes in two different versions pertaining to their internal storage capacity. One premier model comes with a whopping 16GB internal memory as the base-model even would sport an 8GB onboard memory. Another attraction here, is the phone presenting a couple of interesting 3D games, namely Asphalt and FIFA 2008.
A Couple of Sports Mobile Phones and Apophis, an Asteroid
October 6, 2008
A morning jog itself gives a replenishing effect to the physique. Then what if its around the amazing Stonehenge of the Salisbury plains? Erected somewhat between 1600 BC and 2000 BC, this awe-inspiring monument has always been shrouded by controversies regarding its purpose of erection. Some perceive that it was designed as a sun-worship place, while many others argue that it was a section of a colossal astronomical calendar. However, still a good lot strives to preach its medicinal values due to which a number of fitness fanatics frequent this place as simply as that to have a jog around it.
And who is there jogging towards the Bronze Age obelisks with blunt tops, sporting a pleasant smile, occassionally peaking onto a Samsung SGH F110 Micoach Mobile Phone as if just having beaten Gebrselassie’s marathon world record. No prize for guessing the name Salisbury on the Salisbury plain.
Missed me? Mr Salisbury calls the first hit.
Morning sir, to be frank I never expected you here. And that gadget in your palm really fascinates.
Yes, it is a Samsung Micoach health monitoring mobile phone that is a slider phone primarily with Quadband GSM frequency supports for networking. You have EDGE for data speeds and a proprietary operating system of Samsung. A 2MP camera, multimedia player and 1GB onboard memory. Nope, not a 3G phone if you were upto that probe.
I am sorry sir. I thought that you were only taken to some advanced gizmos…
You are quiet right there, but here what I need is not a gizmo. Instead I would now prefer any compact device that would enable me to run at the fastest. This gadget is much like a personal trainer to me as it supplies me with a custom plan based around my fitness and technical data of my workouts. What more, it even encourages me verbally. You should see this sensor that is attached to my shoe laces and this heart rate monitor fitted strap that goes around my chest. Guess how it gets connected with my phone? Magic friend…..Bluetooth magic. After completing my workout I simply plug my gadget into a PC, only to sync the data with Micoach website to analyse my results.
Impressive. But I have experienced this sort somewhere else too. Say, in a Nokia 5500 Sport Mobile Phone. The sports mode of this mobile phone too offers you something to monitor your exercise levels as well as present the training data through its display. Moreover, this device also shows information regarding burned calories, speed, distance and steps taken. Above all this mobile phone comes blessed with a stainless steel casing that in its turn offers you shock, dust and even splash resistance.
Strange. You more often than not, amaze me with your gadget knowledge. Please continue for I would like to run the fastest in the near future, I repeat.
Sure sir, this mobile phone is a triband GSM device compared with Samsung Micoach and its communication download speeds too would be identical with only GPRS to boast of apart from EDGE. The camera too is similar here with a 2MP sensor to be projected though the 5500 Sport overshadows your device with its video recording facilities. If my assumption is right, its multimedia player also would appear a better one than Samsung Micoach’s. That’s almost all about that, but why in the world should you have to run the fastest?
‘Apophis’, my friend. A big asteroid, bigger than Lords Cricket Ground all set to have a tryst with Earth. Say by, 2036. Or that is what NASA says. They have declared that this 20 million tonne asteroid that measures upto 350 metres, would crash land somewhere in the Pacific Ocean off the North American coast. Would you believe this that it is travelling towards us at a speed of 20,000 kph?
Really? I thought ‘Apophis’ was the Greek name of the nemesis of the Egyptian Sun God, ‘Ra’.
Must be. But all I know now is that I would have to keep myself fit enough to run fast. Since that would soon be warranted for, either from the asteroid or from the NASA birdbrains.
Advanced Ladies’ Mobile Phones
September 30, 2008
Hello, Salisbury again. This time for a different cause.
Hello sir, welcome to our infodesk and how may I help you today?
Thank You, today I would like to get some information on the best ladies’ mobile phones around. Hope you have an answer.
Definitely, Right away…may I introduce Motorola ROKR U9 Pebl Mobile Phone with UMTS (3G) and GSM network enhancers, xHTML browser, MPEG 4 video playback, , Symbian 9.2 OS, 240 x 320 pixels studded TFT display, 3D graphics engine, 2MP camera and above all, the Duchess’ recommendation on the dazzling clamshell. You impressed sir?
No worries there. I trust Duchess Sarah Ferguson, though I quite do not understand that punch,’Big girls seldom cry.’ Anyway, though, I am a bit infatuated by your Pebl’s clamshell approach, hidden display as well as the dedicated browser and messaging keys, I would love to learn about the competitors of this model too.
Well sir, then you would certainly be pleased looking at the Samsung L310 Ladies’ Mobile Phone. This one comes with 2G networking, GPRS, HSCSD, EDGE, 2MP camera, AAC/MP3/AAC+ player, xHTML/WAP 2.0 browser and a number of ladies applications like calorie consumption, shopping list, fragrance types and more.
This sounds good. How about the display?
Well sir, it has a TFT display of 1.8 inches diagonal length, the resolution of which, refers to 176 x 220 pixels. More, 65K colours too support this display.
Well, I will definitely have a look at it as it sounds economical as well eh..?
Bulls eye sir. This model is quite on the cheaper side and it would make a perfect gift for you fiancee.., if that is the purpose. I apologise if my wild guess has gone wrong. That was stressed especially for the fact that this mobile phone with some mind blowing graphics on the clamshell was launched with a view to the Valentines Day, back in February.
Easy friend, feel free, though that exactly is not the purpose. I simply wanted to show my ward a chic mobile phone with brains. Say it should resemble the ravishing Alexandra Kostenuik of Russia who recently won the Queen of Chess title.
I get that now sir. Would you mind me exhibiting one more model, this time a Finnish beauty; say Nokia 6111 Pink Mobile Phone.
Please.
Let me see.. Ah this one too is a triband EGSM mobile phone that offers automatic switching between bands, making it a perfect mate for the traveller woman. GPRS, HSCSD and EDGE combinedly explains this phone’s communication data download speed. You have an integrated xHTML browser, Nokia Xpress audio messaging, Built-in camera, FM stereo visual radio and a Multimedia player too in this device. More this pink shade would obviously haunt anyone.
That’s not bad either. Can you explain its supporting features for entertainment?
Sure sir, It comes with a built-in flash, 6 x digital zoom and more than an hour video recording apart from the QCIF playback for the imaging part, MP3 and AAC playback for the music player and Email protocols of SMTP, IMAP4 and POP3 other than Instant Messaging, Dynamic Phonebook and Wireless Village for the messaging part of the phone. Now sir, these are the predominant ladies’ mobile phone models of the time. It is up to you to choose the ideal one for your client.
Well, yes. I would like to act sensibly now.. and sensible enough, not to fetch a gadget with high feminine charms and no brain. I think this is the right time to muse over a press observation on a female republican candidate of the United States that described her, ‘A women with assets as big as and brain as populated as Alaska.’
That’s quiet funny sir. By the way did you mention Miss Sarah Palin?
Say ‘8′ For Imaging. Samsung Innov8 GT-i8510 vs Sony Ericsson Cyber Shot C905
September 16, 2008
Mr Salisbury looked tense even though he had a sumptous lunch this day that included lobsters in wine sauce and bacons that were his favourites. His mood-change is understandable for he, definitely was in high spirits today morning at the commencement of the fourth day’s play in the Lords Cricket Ground, when he called on us for an appointment. Two days to go and Smith’s South Africa was trailing by a huge three hundred odd runs margin. And now things do not look so pleasing for him as well as England with a couple of Proteas batters raising sort of a counter-attack that is definitely ruining England’s party, also Mr Salisbury’s. Now or later at some junctures these communication-devices must be detailed to him, for he had asked for a small session. More, he was the one who insisted on this particular place and no time had to be wasted as well now.
‘Mr Salisbury, this would be the ideal device for you if you are looking for a high-end mobile phone that stresses on imaging predominantly. For, Samsung Innov8 GT-i8510 Mobile Phone is a flagship device of Samsung that comes with a built-in 8MP camera. Methink this one is a better device than the Sony Cyber Shot C905 Mobile Phone that you mentioned last day over the phone. Remember, Cybershot C905 just has an 8MP camera in it and nothing more.’
‘Please go on’, spoke Mr Salisbury rooting his eyes on James Anderson who was running in and there was no sign of restlessness that was shrouding his body language, in his words.
‘Yes Mr Salisbury, more you have a couple of options here as far as the device’s memory is concerned. Two different versions of the same model that comes with 8GB and 16GB internal memory features. Mind you again, the Cyber Shot C905 phone just has a paltry 160MB of on-board memory to boast. Additionally, the Innov8 mobile phone comes armed by an advanced A-GPS that geotags captured images automatically. So you know the place where a snap was taken using this digital camera of the Innov8. Apart from this your mobile phone shifts its display orientation too automatically using a built-in accelerometer.’
‘Right word usage outsmarts a right argument and this was said by Joseph Conrad, not me. Even the Sony Cybershot C905 has this device called accelerometer and GPS as well. more I was informed that it came with a screen punctuated by touch-controls at its edges to help it spring to life with intuition and also face recognition software in its camera to focus on the subject rather than on the background other than a couple more of novel features in image stabilisation and smart contrast’, Mr Salisbury’s words were greeted by an ovation, which but was to cheer Smith’s hundred much against the agenda of Mr Salisbury and England. Anyway this man definitely knows something and above all, he speaks well too.
‘You may continue’, Mr Salisbury permits.
Have to be more cautious as well as shift to a non-biased platform for this man is obviously well-versed here.
Yes Mr Salisbury, the Sony Cybershot C905 is definitely not a weakling to lean on. It too comes with some of those unique features that you explained better than anyone else. This model definitely scores over Innov8 with its built-in xenon flash that powerfully illuminates dark subjects for optimised image capturing in darker conditions. Here, the Innov8 has only a dual LED flash. The screen features of both the models more or less look alike with TFT of 240 x 320 resolution upheld by both gadgets.
‘That’s sensible, though one cannot rate these devices by simply looking at the specification tables for these devices are much like English cricketing weather. You see, these bowlers who seem innocuous right now can change into lions with their tails up, living upto those logos on their blazers but only once the Sun goes under cover to allow the ball a colossal swing. Anyway what has the Innov8 to counter the HSDPA-Wi-Fi combination touted by the Cyber Shot C905 in its connectivity part?’
‘The Innov8 really excels in this sector, Mr Salisbury. Especially with a better combination boasting of GPRS, EDGE and 3G (UMTS), apart from the HSDPA and Wi-Fi factors to effectuate fast communication data download. Moreover, it is equipped with a dual band HSDPA/UMTS device apart from being a quad band GSM mobile phone as well. In the short distant data transfer part both the models fare alike with only Bluetooth to highlight. The operating system that adorns the Innov8 is a 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2 of the Symbian OS S60 V9.3 that gives you a great internet surfing as well as Email experience. Meanwhile the Cybershot C905 has packed all its punch in its imaging sector with a galaxy of features more to amuse you here, like PhotoFeeds, PhotoLight, Photo Flash, Picture and Video blogging, Photo-Fix and PictBridge printing apart from a smart autofocus aspect.
Ovation again. This time acknowledging the other batsman’s half-century, Neil McKenzie’s to be precise. Once again eyebrows of Mr Salisbury gets frowned.
‘Allright, do you have optical zoom in any of these devices?’
‘Negative, Mr Salisbury. Sorry for disappointing you.’
‘No problems. How about the multimedia aspects?’
‘Sure Mr Salisbury, the Innov8 presents a remarkable multimedia player that supports a range of formats like AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, AMR, WMA, MP3, Real Audio along with WMV, MP3, DivX, H.263 Video plus MP3 of H.264. The Sony Cyber Shot too has a built-in music player that realises various audio formats like MP3, WMA, eAAC+, AAC+ and AAC. And more, you would also love to hear something on the power features of these phones.
‘Sure.Go on. I think I will give you more attention for I do not think that England is going to have a positive result at least in this test though cricketing results cannot be assessed until the last ball is bowled, much like your mobile phones.’ Mr Salisbury’s words sounded more like a chunter.
‘Sony Ericsson C905 CyberShot Quad Band GSM Mobile Phone offers a great battery life of nine hours of talktime and 380 hours of standby as Samsung Innov8 8MP camera Mobile Phone also does not trail much behind with 8.5 hours of talktime and 13 days standby. Do any of these amuse you Mr Salisbury?’
‘Cannot say now. For this is quiet early with two 8MP camera phones. I would like to get a public opinion first on how these sensors would behave being stacked with huge 8megapixels. Otherwise, that would seem like opting to bowl first on a typical Asian sub-continental wicket where the pitches tend to become minefields, say as early as after day two.’
Ovation again. But this time acknowledging a swerving beauty from Anderson that ended an enterprising essay from the South African skipper culminating into the ever-waiting hands of Kevin Pieterson, much to the delight of an exuberant Mr Salisbury.
