Nokia Touch and Type X3-02 and C3-01: Review and Comparison
April 10th, 2011 / 4 Comments » / by AF8AB
Nokia has found its home in our pockets for years now until Androids and Big Cats came from the space wild. We remember Nokia by random model numbers like 3310, 5100, 5320, 6120 and series names like N Series, Classic, Xpress Music, N-Gage & what not. Nokia has been a sweetheart for ages but it all came to an end.
Nokia X3-02 is a mid-range smart phone. Price: ~$150
Apple & HTC have capital values a lot more than Nokia now. Nokia has tried and failed to touch the high-end market with touch screens like N97, N900, N8 & operating systems like Maemo, Symbian ^3 etc. They have come back to senses and thought to do what Nokia does best: A lower / middle budget market kingdom. LG & Samsung have been trying to do so for a while but they can’t beat Nokia in this range.
We are where we were 2, 3 and 4 years ago. Looking for the best Nokia cell phone under $200. Back in 2007, it was Nokia 6120 Classic, in 2008 it was Nokia 5320 Xpress Music & then came Nokia 5800. But its 2011 and Nokia has realized there are people who want touch screen usability without loosing the typing. This is where Nokia Touch & Type series comes based on the outdated S40 but revamped thoroughly for a touch interface.

Opera Mobile for Android Released – Review and Performance Benchmark
November 9th, 2010 / 2 Comments » / by Faizan
Today, Opera released their popular mobile browser for Android. If you’ve already used Opera Mini for Android you not notice any changes in interface but under the hood Opera Mobile is full featured web browser. Opera mini first sends request to opera servers which then renders and convert webpage in to OBML (opera binary markup language) that OBML is then returned and rendered on Opera Mini’s screen. Unlike Opera Mini, Opera Mobile renders web page locally which enables it to handle dynamic content using JavaScript/Ajax.
