Amazing Moto U9

Motorola - is not only RAZR. This is a PEBL, ROKR. U9, finally. The model is not assigned to any of the series, and stands alone in the market - a stylish and powerful music-middle-class background - a potential bestseller? ..

Dynamics of the American Motorola sales in recent months not inspired optimism. It’s no secret that this brand even yielded second line world ranking Korean Samsung. However, since the end of this year, the situation promises to ????????????. I need hardly expect a sharp jump, but for a smooth growth at Motorola have all the prerequisites, namely a number of interesting products. Already entered the RAZR2 sale, which, with a loyal pricing policies will certainly be a buyer. And a month and expected product even more remarkable - U9. In fact, it is a musical extra bed medium price range, and that led to a model in which to its lineup ROKR. But novelty is not so simple. This is at the same time and continued PEBL traditions, as well as a new platform on the Linux kernel, as does the same RAZR2. Combined with an affordable price and the felicitous style decoration, which might make the model hit sales in its class. Moreover, the competition from U9 not at all.

Design news and the truth to succeed, the tube looks very impressive, especially given features like animated flames on the external screen in standby mode. Two color options - black and pink (in reality closer to fuksii than pink) - respectively, sexual division of the audience. Above applied glossy plastic used at the rear of soft-touch. No Metall, which, incidentally, has had a positive impact on the weight of the device. Generally, the size and weight U9 perfectly balanced - is the best way to phone in his hand. Waiver of Power PEBL U6 is a controversial step, but it is not without purpose - thickness decreased markedly. The keyboard is made of sheets of corrugated plastic coating, which is playing “light” - another detail the image charge U9. It is convenient to similar elements in the same or PEBL RAZR. Buttons have sufficient speed, well segmented, illumination comfortable.

Elements of the management U9 bit, but still there is the most important. Kachelka There is a volume control and choice of the sound profile, in the presence of the browser and call key / lock, and the right button is for voice functions - dictaphone / set. The main keyboard is a separate hot key player - yet another indication U9 musicality. As with the RAZR2, manage them using the touch strips on the external screen. It is also the basic functionality - SMS read (full, with scrolling), the sound profile Change, etc. Available independent management certification, is a good set of animated screen savers. In general, even funktsionalnee RAZR2 get a good response and Nokia. Returning to the elements U9, turn your attention to the interface connector - so long as malorasprostranenny microUSB. Given the activity, which develops the standard Nokia and Motorola in the new models can be regarded as a temporary disadvantage. But on the case of a lack of access to 3.5 mm - less serious for a musical apparatus.

Inside the novelty is most notable for software platform - is MOTOMAGX (formerly Linux Java), as in the more expensive RAZR2. But unlike older brother, is the updated version - 6.3 to 6.1. This is one of the most powerful interfaces on the market today par with Nokia S40 5th Edition FP1 and Sony Ericsson A200. The decision actually much more functional and convenient than P2K, which was used previously Motorola, and is now used in models of low price segment. Especially highlight player. This is a pleasant background application on analogs of other brands, but after Sony Ericsson Motorola software company is not largely emphasizes his musical decisions - U9 this is similar to the RAZR2. There is a convenient sorting, background, the accidental reproduction and repetition, even search for the name of the file. Of settings stereoeffekty celebrate the rich. Supported formats in abundance - MP3, WMA9/10/11, RA10, AAC, AAC + / Enhanced, AMR NB / WB, XMF. The quality of sound at altitudes, and this is true for A2DP. There is a universal 3.5 mm on the withdrawal complete headset wires, and gigabaytnaya card (again in the staffing supply), and does makes U9-fledged music background. The speed is not satisfactory, it is at a good level (see table Jbenchmark testing), although neidealno.

Nokia N81 & N81 8 Gb

N-Gage is now a new generation is not limited to one device, it is an entire platform, which is available to multiple smartphones Nseries (already N81, N73, N93, N93i, N95). No particular component is clearly manifested in the game fresh N81 and N81 8GB.


The first N-Gage has become an interesting decision, but the mass of the product prevented a number of gaps. It was easier to freeze idea, as amended and supplemented it. Now, Nokia is ready to implement the conceived anew, but in a completely different manner. The second generation of N-Gage is no longer a single machine or more. This is a full-fledged platform for smartphones Nseries. In particular for the N81 and N81 8GB, which in most explicitly positioned game. Already aware that many European operators refused to sales of these new products because of their home support services. This is not surprising, because profitable to promote their services, otherwise lost revenues. The result of such a conflict is likely to become the focus should Nokia to markets where sales of camera tubes does not developed or are secondary. In this case, Russia has become one of the priority regions for the N81 and N81 8GB. It is expected that it will be realized in our largest number of these vehicles.

New product is available in two versions, which differ memory and cost. Elder is changed by about 2500 rubles. expensive and has built an array of flash memory 8 Gb volume, but denied microSD slots for the cards, which is a junior. The two met in the smartphone form factor slider in the same classic design. Registration pleasant apparatus that combines rigour and style. But size and weight are not chosen the best possible way. For example, the thickness of the shell is a great deal of 17.9 mm, and the greater the average weight - 140 g. As a result, models like lovers massive smartphones, although the brink reasonable N81 perestupayut not. Indirectly calculation on male audience confirms the availability of only one solution to the front panel color - black, the same as Sony Ericsson K850i. However, this is the correct option for Russia, but because the choice of Nokia are successful.

HTC Touch Dual

The article mentions Smartphones HTC Touch Dual


Touch is one of the most sold Communicators HTC and razoshelsya has a circulation of more than a million copies. To develop and consolidate the success of the manufacturer decided slider in the same style as the Touch Dual…

Communicators image in the Windows Mobile platform is almost non-existent, and about premium and luxury does not have to speak. It’s the shift - users of “smart” tubes, as a rule, do not pay attention to the “thingies”. At least, both previously thought. Breaking the tradition leader decided WM-market, the company HTC. This manufacturer made a bid not only on stylish casing, but also changed the interface. A famous Touch. The model quickly became a bestseller, despite the not very impressive features for its price (for example, no GPS). As a result, not only HTC received an auspicious product in their portfolio, but also expanded the range of potential audiences. Now Communicator buy not only technology enthusiasts, but also more simple audience. By the way, it is aimed at the recent draft HTC and Beeline to introduce mobile directory software. Hopefully, smaller players such podtyanutsya in popularizing the idea of “smart” phones.





Ergonomics has several significant differences from the original Touch and layout elements. In particular now resolved traditionally expansion slot, fully supports “hot” cards replaced. And the interface connector (it is still ExtUSB) has somehow placed on the left (as many tubes Sony Ericsson), which prevents, for example, using as a player - in the staffing cover Communicator has not put. A separate entry set, as before, no, but have already begun delivery of new HTC brand accessories - adapter with ExtUSB to 3.5 mm (about 500 rubles.), And headsets with enhanced control post at the wire (about 1400 rubles.). Hopefully, we will see shortly, and an optional FM radio, HTC products, it would not have prevented.

Touch Dual deprived scroll wheel, although it was a close hardware TyTN II. Joystick navigation that is not actually gone, it is convenient and it is situated on the ground - under the shield. On each side of it are two soft keys, they could be more in size. But most disappointed keyboard. This element of a digital-QWERTY layouts - in the image and likeness of the same Blackberry. Buttons badly segmented, and the implementation of a set of unusual. The result is not good saves during the keys, typing in a mid-level keyboard for Communicator. If you are looking for on this feature as a key model, it is worth closer to another buy or limit the virtual keyboard - proprietary application of HTC very good. The latter, incidentally, the original owners certainly useful Touch, and it is already available for free.
Continue the successful concept was decided in razdvizhnom form-factor, so a Touch Dual, which rumours and speculation on the first named Nike, and later - Touch Slide. The model is designed in the form of classic slider, and no more peculiar side-HTC. It provides a novelty at a time of other solutions WM - among communicators such design meets infrequently. It is precisely the same as in the design of the original Touch. Corpus only black, soft-touch cover everywhere. ??????? slider mechanism, and build quality and materials, satisfactory. At the touch Touch Dual very pleasant. In his hand is better apparatus predecessor because the dimensions are now better balanced - and has become corpus
