Mamma Mia!~ with Nokia's 5800 Xpressmusic officially announced, iPhone's doomsday is counted.......

Last Friday was a reason to rejoy for all Nokia fans. The much rumoured, much-awaited, much-coveted touch screen phone was finally unvieled by Nokia and is expected to be available by the end of the year. It has been touted as the rival to Apple's (stupid) iPhone. Check out the link below to learn how "stupid" iPhone is when compared to Nokia's 5800.

"What Nokia 5800 has, iPhone doesn’t- Indiatimes Infotech"

The Nokia 5800 Xpressmusic device packs more functionality and practicality at a much lower price tag and less restriction in terms of sharing media, which makes it a true gem and separates itself from other touch screen phones (especially iPhone) with its amazing multimedia handling prowess.

However, functionality and price tag aside, I gotta kow-tow to the unique interface that iPhone offers which gives it an extra shine and the buzz about the apparently lousy device. Other than that, I don't see why others won't like Nokia's version of touch screen phone. At first glance, I might say, everything has been well thought of. Yes, some might complaint that the camera MP is lacking behind but I think Nokia has stretched the limits by packing as much as possible with the affordable price tag to make it competitive.

Another secret weapon which has generated much hype these days is the "COMES WITH MUSIC" service. While it is not at its full force yet, the potential is endless. With almost 5 million songs in the library for the user to choose from during the one year complimentary unlimited download license, audiophiles will be rejoiced to download the songs without burning a hole on their pocket!

Hmm... now, it keep me wonder if Nokia plan to add in any touch screen phone in their N series or E series line-up?

iPhone wait is over......

Mark your calendar today for mobile phone history has a new chapter! The iPhone 2.0 wait is finally over and it is launched on my mum's birthday (no kidding) on 11 July 2008 at least at 22 countries ONLY (excluding Malaysia, Singapore and other countries though).

Yes, we have had heard much hype about this revolutionary mobile marvel by Apple and there are even hard-core fans queueing for it two days before the launch (in Japan)! Besides upgrade to support 3G, the surprise was that the newer version is actually cheaper than its predecessor! The iPhone is also thinner and spots a different back cover material. 

But prospective owners need to be alert that the suggested retail price was tagged along with a subscription plan from a service provider, normally for 2 years. Depending on the country where the phone is bought, the subscription plan differs and tends to falls on the higher tier category. 

I am not a hardcore Apple fan and has no plans of the switch but not until I see what wonders the additional application that the phone now allows users to download and install can do. Check out the review here:  (http://www.webmonkey.com/blog/8_Cool_Things_You_Can_Do_With_Your_iPhone_2DOT0). I was kinda blown away after seeing how amazing the small applications with a little or no cost at all can do more wonders on the already marvelous iPhone! I gotta admit I am quite tempted and hope I won't be joining the hardcore fans queueing for two days when it is launched locally.

Cross your fingers for the arrival of the phone in your country soon!
