HTC DESIRE HD, A SMARTPHONE THAT GIVES YOU DUAL FLASHES 8 MP CAMERA

For you who are addicted in uploading photos for Facebook personal albums, possessing best cellular phone with better multimedia features as well as faster internet connection may become a dream. However, as many cellular phones and smartphones are now launched with such specifications, you will be confused in choosing one of them. Thus, looking closer to HTC Desire HD may help you to find the right cellular phone.

HTC Desire HD comes with some common specifications. This hi-tech communication device is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 1 Ghz processor, Android 2.2 (Frozen Yoghurt/Froyo) operating system, GPRS/EDGE/HSUPA/HSDPA, Bluetooth A2DP 2.1, Micro USB, WLAN/WIFI, MP3, video player with HD quality Video Recording, and other recent standard mobile features. What makes this mobile gadget quite superior to others is its 8 MP camera with dual flashes, which is claimed to produce much brighter and sharper pictures. Then, the pictures can be viewed through its 4,3 inch touchscreen display.

In term of getting better pictures, this newly-launched mobile gadget may satisfy our need. Yet, this widescreen display smartphone still uses 1230 mAh Lithium-Ion battery, which is considered “poor” for its complete features. Claimed to last for about 490 hours standby and 9 hours talk-time, we surely wish to have better and longer-lasting battery for this gadget.

SMARTPHONES WITH TOUCHSCREEN PLUS QWERTY KEYPAD

The rapid development of mobile phone technology offers various kinds of new attractions both for existing customers and also new consumers. After the trend of QWERTY keypad based on the popularity of Blackberry has influenced many cellular phone vendors around the world, now the trend is slightly changed with the coming of touchscreen smartphones.

However, not all mobile phone customers are familiar or fond of those input methods. Some like QWERTY keypad, some other prefer touchscreen. This phenomenon has inspired cellular phone vendors to introduce their products that meet the demand of all customers. Thus, some new cellular phones, or precisely smartphones come with double input, QWERTY and touchscreen. Among many others, they are:

· Blackberry Torch 9800

· HTC Desire Z and Pro2

· Motorola Charm, Milestone, and Backflip

· Nokia C6 and E7

· Samsung Wave 533

· Sonny Ericsson Aspen

Those smartphones have double input methods for customers. They enable customers who prefer QWERTY keypad or touchscreen mode to utilize and optimize their features, applications, and technology.

However, behind such simplicity and completeness of the smartphones, as customers we have to realize that the double text input methods sometimes bring consequences, namely sliding. Most smartphone whose the double texting input usually come with sliding mode. Thus, as not all people like sliding model, this fact has to be our consideration before buying such smartphones. Determine whether you want to have specific QWERTY keypad or touchscreen smartphones if you do not enjoy the sliding.

MOBILE PHONE AS AN INTERNET MODEM, THINK TWICE TO USE IT

The world becomes so narrow since internet is accessible in almost all countries. People get connected easily with the help of internet connection, eliminating the difference of time, place, and space. This phenomenon has increased the demand of some devices enabling internet connection around the world, especially modem.

Today, as the rapid improvement and development of the function of mobile phone, many manufacturers of the communication device has issued their products with more attractive features, particularly modem capability. Almost all mobile phone now can function as a modem for an internet connection. With its supporting driver, simply plug into our PC or notebook, install the driver, change the setting based on our provider, and enjoy the internet connection for many purposes.

Nevertheless, knowing the impacts of using a mobile phone as a modem is another knowledge we have to consider, particularly if the mobile phone is so important for our other business. There are some crucial damages if we use our mobile phone for modem, especially if we use it in a long period.

Basically, mobile phone as a modem will be connected directly to our PC or laptop, although using Bluetooth is applicable. This of course will make our mobile phone overheated and also overcharged. The longer we use it for internet connection, the more heat will be transmitted from our PC/laptop to our mobile phone. Beside that, our mobile phone has to bear the heat from the mobile phone itself as well. Thus, both the circuit and the battery of our mobile phone will gain more heat pressure.

To keep our mobile phone function well, it is recommended to be selective in optimizing the modem capability inside it. Unless emergency, it is better to use cheap mobile phone for a modem or to buy “real” modem to get internet connection. The choice is ours, but we surely do not want to lose our expensive mobile phone for such a connection right?

VIDEO IN A MOBILE PHONE, WHAT SHOULD WE KNOW?

My neighbor was surprised when she found her video could not play in her mobile phone. I asked her how she got that video, and she said that she copied the video from her friend’s notebook. That was a simple thing for an expert, but very frustrating condition for a beginner mobile phone user. Thus, it is better for us to explain her how her video cannot play.

Video has many formats, such as mp4, flv, wav, wma, aac, etc. Simply, those formats normally represent the quality of the video. Unfortunately, some mobile phones can merely support some of the formats. Thus, when we have video in mp4 format but our mobile phone can not support that format, it can not either play the video.

To play the video, we have to convert the format into that supported by our mobile phone. That is the simplest way to play our video in the communication device. For this purpose, we have so many free video converters to download from internet as well as install them from CD, flashdisk, and the like. Doing video converting before copying to a certain player, like mobile phone, will avoid us in saying “What’s wrong with my precious video, it won’t start!” Happy optimizing your mobile gadget.

IRONICAL USAGE OF SMARTPHONE AND CHINESE-MADE MOBILE PHONE IN A DEVELOPING COUNTRY

Many people now are very proud of possessing smartphone in their pocket. But do you know that most people with smartphone are not always good at optimizing its features? Well, that is what they call “prestige.”

In many developing countries, possessing a high-tech device like smartphone is merely just for “prestige.” Many people sometimes use it for only voice call and sms, no more. They think that smartphone is another way to show their superiority in term of wealth.

Perhaps we may agree that possessing a smartphone make us smarter, but that will apply only if we can optimize its features and facilities. This will be different when we look at the usage of Chinese-made mobile phones. Some people sometimes feel so shy in using Chinese-made mobile phone in public place. They think that Chinese-made mobile phone is another cheap way to have smartphone look.

Well, the opinion is sometimes true since many Chinese-mobile phones are made in similar design as smartphone. Compared to smartphone, they look so similar in design but very far in feature. So, for those who like the design, possessing Chinese-mobile phone is more than enough since they do not have to spend much money to have it, but for those who love the feature, they have to save some money to buy the original.

He decision is ours, but optimizing a device will be much better than showing our wealth. Let us be wise in spending our money for such a communication device.
