Nokia N93i review

For those of you who saw the movies Transformers, you'd remember the scene where a Nokia phone got transformed into a miniature Transformer. Ironically enough that phone was the N93i, if there was any phone that came close to a Transformer from Nokia that would be it. The first thing you'd notice about the N93i would be its sheer size. The phone is by no means small measuring at a good 108 x 58 x 25mm. At 25 mm thick, the N93i is also one of the thickest phones I have reviewed.

Now the N93i though sharing the same model prefix as the N93, is ages away from its predecessor. The N93 was a great attempt by Nokia in producing a phone with multiple functionalities; WiFi, 3G, camcorder, camera with 3X optical zoom to boot. Unfortunately with all that functionality, the N93 became a big, boxy phone. Nokia has taken the elements that made the N93i great and improved upon it in the N93i. How successful they were we'll see further on in the review.

BenQ Joybook S41 Review

You don’t really think of notebooks when the name BenQ usually crops up. When the brand BenQ is mentioned, you’ll usually be thinking about monitors and various other peripherals instead. Until recently, the BenQ notebooks were in the periphery compared to the rest of their product line. However, that is about to change with the release of the new notebook line, especially the one we have for review, the BenQ Joybook S41. Based on the Santa Rosa chipset, the Joybook S41 is one of the smallest notebooks to come with the Nvidia 8600M GS card.

Now in terms of looks and build quality, I was quite surprised that BenQ had made the effort to make the Joybook S41 more than just your normal dull looking notebook. Although it feels a bit plasticky, the Joybook S41 does look quite “hip” with its polka dot texturing, though the idea of this design being hip will vary from certain individuals. Its interior does not disappoint either as its sleek design, made the S41 a notebook that you wouldn’t mind showing off in public.

Nikon's new D3 Digital SLR poised to take over the world

Eight years after Nikon’s D1 camera changed professional digital photography forever, Nikon today introduced the D3 – a new digital SLR camera that is poised to once again revolutionize photography for professionals. The 12.1 effective megapixel D3 features Nikon’s new FX-format CMOS sensor, measuring 23.9 x 36mm, which is nearly identical to the size of 35mm film. With the fastest startup time, shortest viewfinder blackout time, and shortest shutter lag of any digital SLR camera as well as the capability to shoot up to nine frames per second at full FX-format resolution, the D3 is the world’s fastest digital SLR camera in its class.

Designed with sports photographers and photojournalists in mind, the Nikon D3 introduces an astounding list of brand new features and technologies that make it the most sophisticated and advanced Nikon digital SLR to date. In addition to the new FX-format CMOS sensor, the D3 incorporates Nikon’s new EXPEED Image Processing System that is central to the blazing speed and processing power needed for many of the D3’s new features.

Images taken with the D3 reflect exceptional overall quality, broad tonal range and depth, along with extremely low-noise throughout its normal ISO range of 200 to 6400. By setting the camera to its built-in options of Lo-1 or Hi-2, the ISO range of the camera can be expanded to the equivalent of ISO 100 or ISO 25,600 respectively, offering unmatched versatility in practically any shooting situation.

Motorola RAZR MAXX V6 Review

If there is one thing you can rely on about Motorola, it is their tendency to stick a winning design formula. This is just the case with the Motorola RAZR MAXX V6 it’s no surprise that the clamshell phone design phones are one of Motorola’s hottest selling phones especially their RAZR line.

Now the V6 is by no means, Motorola’s slimmest phone but it is still relatively slim at 15mm, especially when u consider that the phone comes packed with 3G connectivity and HSDPA. Motorola has kept its etched metal keypad styling which gives the phone a nice feel when using it. The front of the phone though uses hardened glass finish, which does add some style to the phone. Unfortunately, this also makes the front of the phone a fingerprint magnet. If you’re one who absolutely dislikes fingerprints on your phone, you’re going to have some major issues with the V6 fronts. I spent a lot of my time, constantly buffing and wiping fingerprints of the V6’s front cover.
