Nokia 603 – Another Symbian Belle Phone

Nokia 603 – Another Symbian Belle Phone – I kept thinking that Nokia will not make another Symbian phone because Nokia announced that they will migrate their platform from Symbian to Windows Phone. However, Nokia has just released another Symbian Belle phone, named the Nokia 603. This added another device into the Symbian Belle family of Nokia 600, Nokia 700 and Nokia 701.

Physically, the design of the phone improved and appears to be sleeker than the other 3 model. The phone is powered by 1GHz processor, as well as supports the NFC feature.

It has a 3.5inch ClearBlack display which increase visibility under bright sunlight. On the back, it features a 5 megapixel camera which can shoot 720p video at 30fps. Nokia 603 comes in black and white but there 6 rear covers which you can change to suit your personality. Pricing detail is that it will cost about €200 (approx. RM862) and ship in Q4 2011.

Japanese Failed To Talk With Siri Assistant

Japanese Failed To Talk With Siri Assistant – Apple iPhone 4S and iOS5 is now here (but not in Malaysia yet for the iPhone 4S). Everyone around me have been telling me how nice the Siri Assistant is, this and that. But then I wonder will it recognize our Malaysian-accent English well?

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LM7edH6ZpE&w=480&h=360]

The Japanese tried the Siri, with a strong Japanese accent but failed to get a correct response for it. Well, in about two weeks time, the iPhone 4S will be launched in Singapore and I will be heading there to try out my brother’s unit and will update with you how it works.

No iPhone 5, It’s Apple iPhone 4S

“It’s the most amazing iPhone yet.”

No iPhone 5, It’s Apple iPhone 4S – Apple 4th October 2011 “Let’s Talk iPhone” event is now over and disappointingly there’s no iPhone 5 announced, it’s just a change of hardware in the current Apple iPhone 4 and they called it the iPhone 4S, just like the iPhone 3gS update 2 years ago.

It’s 100% identical with the current iPhone 4, but in the inner part, the hardware is equip with the same processor that powers the Apple iPad 2 – Apple A5 Dual-core CPU, which enables 7x faster graphic performance, the camera is now upgraded to 8megapixel camera on par with other smartphone, sporting a new optics with backlight illuminating sensor which means capturing clearer picture in low light, f2.4 aperture lens. On the other hand, Apple has fixed the “antennagate” problem which the phone is also a “World Phone”, supporting both GSM and CDMA network. No 4G though.

Another thing is – Siri Assistant, a voice guide on the phone that talks to you is included, which is just another app to promote the iPhone 4S. No words mention that Siri Assistant will be available on other device besides the Apple iPhone 4S, it might be the premium app for the 4S.

So in short, it’s just better CPU, improved camera, “World Phone”, iOS5 equipped and no redesign. I was and believes many were hoping for a bigger screen iPhone, a redesigned, bigger battery capacity (though Apple claims iPhone 4S has better battery life with the same capacity), as well as NFC or 4G-equiped. Unfortunately, not.

No news about Malaysia’s availability and price. Our closest nation, Singapore will get it on 28th October 2011.

Larger Screen And Thinner iPhone 5 On 4th October? – In less then a week time and Apple’s new CEO – Tim Cook will take on the stage to announce the next generation of iPhone (as expected). Even though, there’s still no official photo or ideas on what’s the next iPhone is going to be like, factories in China has already making the case for iPhone 5 (iPhone 4S) like nobody’s business.

According to sources, the case is actually made according to a iPhone prototype that was stolen from Foxconn factory in Shenzhen.

Looking at the video, it shows that the new iPhone 5 will be 33% smaller and is a complete redesign of the current iPhone 4. It also features a larger screen and the design of the phone is lookalike with the current Apple iPad.

It’s pretty hard from me the judge from the video, but I would definitely like to see an iPhone with a bigger screen. I find the current design is cool and sleek too. At the moment, let’s wait till next Tuesday for the “boom, one more thing”.
