Nokia and Nokia Lumia 800

Nokia has been getting a lot of criticism(ass whooping) due to its Sybian OS's and this increased during the time of the launch of Android 2.1. Android became popular and cheaper day by day and as mentioned in my earlier posts, it became capable of competing with iOS. So now when you are getting such a thing in 15k you are definitely going to shit your friend's nokia symbian s60. Loosing their market to Google, nokia had to work out something, so first it was Symbian Anna and then Symbian Belle which were although better than the previous version but still not good enough.

Back in US there was another big company's product being washed up by Android. It was Microsoft's Windows Mango 7.5, which had been launched recently but could not procure any market attention due to android's shimmer. So, both come together (the most common comeback strategy today) to take on Google and Samsung and this was the end product, and what a beauty!!

NOKIA LUMIA 800

Ok, so Nokia and Windows' final gamble to get their market back is a complete package of what someone would like in a 30,000 phone. Lets see the specs first:

Display:
3.7" Multi-touch capacitive touchscreen
AMOLED
480x800 resolution
Corning Gorilla Glass

Camera:
8 MP, 3264x2448 pixels
Carl Zeiss optics
Autofocus
Dual-LED flash
720p Video @30fps

Processor 1.4 GHz
RAM 512 MB
OS Microsoft Windows 7.5 Mango


Now what it does not have:
A secondary camera
Memory Card slot
A java platform (Thank God)
A tendency to hang up all the time(lolz)

The biggest up is the processor and the OS. The camera being a standard 8.1MP with autofocus, earlier in N8 is a bit more refinedand records HD video @30fps which is the best in the market.The secondary camera though not being such a big problem now, makes the whole concept of video calling useless and after eating up 16gb memory of my phone I really think they should start putting in memory card slots now.

Corning Gorilla Glass with Clear black display is an attraction. All in all its a 9/10 phone with just a little bit of price issue. With just a 5 grand less it could have been a winner all the way.  Now lets talk about how mango has changed nokia. Wonder what the fruits have to do with tech. first Apple then Mango. Anyways, firstly when you touch on something on this nokia, instead of hanging you up it shows a beautiful animation to take you to the next menu. Thats all the Nokia fans wanted. Its the best bet today if you ask me. Go for it!!

Greatness of Steve Jobs questioned (Look who is talking)!!

  

A Statuary warning: This article might contain offensive language about Neeraj Thakur and it is meant to be so, but he needs to understand that I'm presenting my views about his thoughts about Mr. Jobs. Evidently, I don't know who you are and honestly I don't care, but here's a simple lesson for you to get your facts and definitions right.

 What you've portrayed through one shit of an article is that if one guy doesn't get something, no one should.
Grow up dude, that's life!!  A salute to Mr. Jonas Edward Salk and respect for what he did in medicine. Polio drops have saved lives and that's a social cause. The man who invented it was generous enough to not to patent it to his name. But wake up Mr. Dumbo if some company is making it, this generous gesture of Mr. Salk has increased their profits and just so you know, polio is for free because of govt. subsidies not that Mr. Salk is producing it for free. Lets come to the comparison of Mr.. Jobs with this. First thing he did not produce iPhone, iPad, or any other apple product for a social cause. He runs a company that produces the finest quality products available in the market, and no govt. would provide a subsidy for that. Now talking of the patent thing, don't get iPad- the name patented and guess how many law suits you have to file in China.

Greatness is measured by what you do in your field. An engineer will not be judged on how good food he makes, similarly Jobs will not be judged on what social issues he considered. He was a great entrepreneur and so he would be judged. You talking about what he did to eradicate poverty??
Come out of your idealistic world. The man was the CEO, Co-founder and Founder of 3 most successful companies in his life span and worked hard to make them the best even when he was suffering from such a disease. You say he removed philanthropy because company was not earning profits. Tell me something smart guy would you give your money to charity when you are not even able to clear your own dues.

You have confined the man's intelligence in one line, and I quote "He just re-packaged products and technology that were already available with companies like Blackberry, Windows etc.". Well let me tell you none of the above companies invented a digital camera that is fitted in all the smartphone today. First Blackberry vs. Apple: Blackberry still uses the java platform for OS, and although I do like blackberry too, the difference between the two is huge. But how would you know you don't an Apple product and from your statements I can see you've not bothered to look at one too.
Windows vs. MacOS: Do I even need to write anything about this. The only reason people buy windows is because they don't want to spend too much for their computers.
So do clear your facts the next time you talk about a tech. product, or just try and have a look at them before you "Repackage" and post your thoughts.

And the last thing that annoyed me is the use of the line "so-called great products". Coming from a person who has never used an Apple product its a bit idiotic statement.I'd say you don't know what you are talking about or whom here. So, you should rather not speak!!

I'd like to end this by saying that when you write about something please at least first have a little knowledge about it!!
