Nokia fans have been waiting 8 months for this piece of Nokia candy to be released.
It seems to be packed with everything a tech nerd would ever want;
*5 megapixel camera – Carl Zeiss lens, auto focus, LED flash
*32 Gig memory – 128 megabyte RAM
*3.5 inch TFT touchscreen
*Full QWERTY keyboard
*3G + Wi Fi
*Battery standby upto 432 hours!!

Its been a long time in the planing and nearly a year later there doesn’t seem to be anything compelling to buy the Nokia N97.
Apart from the massive 32 Gig on board (do you really need this much memory) there isn’t anything here you couldn’t get from other smartphones currently on the market…. for a cheaper price.
If you can get the N97 a little cheaper you might be on a winner.

Check out these brilliant surveillance gadgets, I installed my night vision cameras just over 2 weeks ago and love them.
Now I’ll have to get some for inside!!! It’s amazing the quality and simplicity you get out of equipment that would have cost thousands of dollars a few years ago.

A lot of visitors to GizmoHeaven have been searching for info on the Android powered Agora. I was about to write a pre-release review when the bombshell was dropped two days ago by Kogan head honcho Ruslan Kogan on his company website;
“I’m disappointed to have to tell you that the Kogan Agora has to be delayed indefinitely.
This delay comes due to potential future interoperability issues.
The Agora did reach a very late stage of development. Manufacturing had commenced and it was a matter of days from being shipped to … ”

Due to be released at the end of this month, and after several long delays, it seems the plug has been permanently pulled from this much anticipated android powered gadget.

Originally to be an iPhone like device complete with touch screen at a much cheaper price, the Agora was to be the first android based phone to be released in Australia. Kogan also promised the Agora would be in the $199 price range.

The Kogan Agora

As it turned out the Kogan is a BlackBerry copy, with a lower resolution screen (320 x 240), and costing $299 for the standard Agora,or $399 for the Agora Pro which includes WiFi, GPS and a 2 megapixel camera.
And therein lies the reason given for the latest delay. Kagan says; “I now believe that in order to access all the Android platform has to offer, the Agora must be redesigned.”
The screen resolution would have been substandard for Googles Android applications, and the Agora would have come face to face with the real deal when the G1 gets released in Australia through Optus shortly.

At the original price range, and the promise of being able to purchase the Agora free of any lock in contract created a buzz, and put the Agora on a lot of wish lists. Many had already pre-ordered through the Kogan website.

As Kogan’s mantra is cutting out the middle man by manufacturing, importing and retailing straight to the customer, he has delivered in the past and has built a good following in the tech community and simple consumers alike. So there was no reason to doubt Kogan would deliver on his Agora dream.

So for now the Agora saga continues…..

Some relief for G1 phone users who seem to run out battery gogo juice.
This 2600mAh monster battery is said to more than double the capacity on the standard battery that shipped with your beloved G1 phone.

Innocell 2600 Extended Life Battery – Black

g1battery2600mAh

The extended battery from Innocell also comes with a soft-touch ‘rubberised’ back cover to accomodate the thicker battery, but will only increase the depth profile of your G1 by 5mm. A small price to pay for an extra few days of life…..

At first glance you might think you’ve seen this phone before, it looks a little similar to the HTC Touch? Well it’s even manufactured by the Taiwanese HTC…….. although Sony Ericsson go to great pains to let it be known that the Xperia was developed without HTC’s input.
The Sony Ericsson Xperia seems a little long and cluncky (weighing in at 145grams), but it feels solid in your hand and build quality is great with full metal body.
The X1 smartphone kicks off a new sub brand for Sony Ericsson, and contains many features not seen in earlier Sony Ericssons. While earlier attempts have been a little half-hearted, the X1 shows SE are serious contenders in the smartphone arena. The X1 runs on Windows Mobile 6.1, and is jam-packed with everything you could ever need in a smart gadget.

The X1 features a sideways slide design, sliding out to expose a full QWERTY keyboard. Button are slightly raised, and spacing is excellent ensuring no miss-hits when typing.
At 800x 480 pixels the 3 inch VGA touch screen gives a crisp clear display, and displays DVD quality video, handling a higher than usual frame rate (30 fps). Although the screen is 3 inch, it is little too narrow for my liking, and icons a too small for your finger, so using one of the two included stylus pens is advisable. As mentioned the X1 is touch screen, but you also have a central navigation ‘touchpad’.
The X1 has a 3.2 megapixel camera, and the Cybershot line of camera’s are known for their quality pic’s, however being based on Windows Mobile, camera quality is not what we’ve come accustomed to. Pictures taken in low light are a little dodgy.
The Xperia only has 400MB internal memory!, but luckily that is expandable to 32Gig via microSD memory card. Battery life is impressive, the 1500mA LiPo battery delivers approx 800 hours standby, and 10 hours talk time.

Tom Tom, the world’s leading GPS navigation solutions provider announced that both CNET and LAPTOP Magazine recognized the TomTom GO 740 LIVE car navigation with the “Best of CES” award. The Tom Tom GO 740 LIVE is TomTom’s first connected portable navigation device in the US that provides the industry’s best routing and helps drivers take control of their daily drive via automatic delivery of helpful features including: real-time traffic information, TomTom Fuel Price Service, Local Search powered by Google, TomTom Weather, QuickGPSfix and TomTom Buddies. The TomTom GO 740 LIVE will be available in Q2 2009 at major retailers across the US for $499.95.

“Each year at the show, CNET editors scour the show floor to determine the top technologies that will set the trends for the coming year,” said Scott Ard, vice president of content at CNET. “Chosen from hundreds of products at the 2009 International CES, TomTom demonstrates the innovation and creativity to be awarded our “Best of CES” award within the GPS industry.”

Nokia’s new N series seem to aiming way beyond the smartphone, and creating a mobile phone/ laptop hybrid. With a reported 32 Gig onboard storage, and another 16 Gig via microSD, Nokia have dubbed this “world’s most advanced mobile computer”.

N97

The N97 combines a large 3.5in touch-screen, similar to that found on the Apple iPhone, with a slide-out Qwerty keyboard reminiscent of the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 and the Google G1. Unlike the Apple iPhone, the N97 will be able to play the Flash videos used on many websites. It also supports instant-messaging and email on the go, boasts a five-megapixel camera, and a huge 48GB of memory, capable of storing thousands more songs than the Apple iPhone and many other leading devices.
Nokia has put high-speed web access at the heart of its new device, along with one-button, ‘always-on’ access to social-networking sites such as Facebook. The phone also uses its built-in GPS technology to provide location-specific information. Nokia, which calls the service ‘social location’, said that it will enable N97 users to update their social-networking profiles with precise details about their location and find nearby friends.
Nokia has also promised that it will follow the lead of Apple, Google and Research in Motion, makers of the BlackBerry, by making it easier for third-party developers to write additonal software and programs for Nokia handsets. Owners of the N97, which runs the Symbian operating system, can already download thousands of applications to their phone, and Nokia said it is creating “new opportunities” for third parties to develop innovative widgets and internet service applications for Nokia devices.

Building on the good looks and functions of last years E61, Nokia has added a little more fire power to their E71 in the battle of the smartphones.

What you’ll notice first is the supper slim, solid design with elegant metallic finish. Weighing in at 127 grams Nokia have trimmed a little fat to make the E71 a 10mm thin pocket friendly unit. As well as looking good the metal finish avoids those nasty finger prints that other black finish phones attract.

Having a full QWERTY keyboard on a slim portable smartphone is like walking a tightrope. How small do you make the buttons without upsetting those with slightly pudgy fingers? Nokia have almost got it right, the 37 buttons on the keyboard are just big enough, and are dome shaped to distinguish each from the next. Mistakes and mishits are common at first, but you do get used to the key spacing. Having fingernails helps greatly!!

The center menu navigation button on the other hand needs to be worked on. Maybe raising it slightly from the key-pad would prevent accidental pressing and opening of the application buttons on either side….

The screen resolution is a ho-hum 320 x 240 pixels 2.36 inch, compared to the Blackberry Bold’s dazzling 480 x 320 2.6 inch display. While the screen shines brightly, the dull colors and bland icons are a little spartan, simple and unsophisticated. This was a calculated move and contributes to E71′s excellent speedy performance. But of course you can download more exiting themes and icons to brighten your phone up.

Housing a 3.2 mega-pixel camera with auto focus and LED flash, the E71 takes great pic’s in daylight but is lacking when lighting is low. Those that like to be quick off the draw when a good photo opportunity comes up will be peeved. The omission of a dedicated camera button requires the user to return to the menu and press a soft key. The lack of a camera button also means the auto focus is achieved by pressing one button, and then the actual photo is taken by pressing a second button.

Battery life is superb with 410 hours standby and 10 hours talk time.

Research In Motion have gone all the way with the Bold

BlackBerry’s have always been the first choice for mobile professionals on the move thanks to easy to use efficient messaging system and user interface. But the Bold cranks things up a notch or two….

As a mobile phone it gets 3G, GPS, and Wi-Fi, and the HTML email support is a first for Blackberry. HTML support allows you to view newsletters as they were intended, including images!

The inclusion of 3G (HSDPA) 3.6Mbps, and Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g) make this unit excellent for web browsing, however the browser does get a little sluggish with graphics intensive sites.

Weighing in at 133 grams, the Bold is a little chunky and won’t fit comfortably into your top pocket, but that’s a small trade-off for the large 2.6 inch 480x 320 resolution lcd screen, which produces a stunningly sharp and clear display. And a 1500 mAh battery (310 hours stand-by) which is good for around 2 – 3 days use.

Adding to the sleek, smart looking display is a new set of transparent icons, giving the Bold a sophisticated look.

At only 2 megapixels, and with no auto-focus, the camera produces surprisingly good photos. But don’t go and buy it for  video recording, playback is pixelated and jerky.

Running on the latest Blackberry OS 4.6, this unit comes with only 1Gig of built in memory, but of course you can add memory with a microHDSC up to 8Gig.

The Bolds full QWERTY keyboard gives you total control of what you’re writting,no predictive text or pressing a button 3 times. The well spaced, cushiony  buttons each have a protruding ridge, giving an excellent tactile feel. The Bold’s keyboard is one of the best you’ll have the pleasure of using.

The pearl Trackball navigation is comfortable and within thumb reach, and works similar to a computer mouse.

The sleek looks are topped off with a soft leathery backing, that add’s a luxurious feel.

5 Stars.
