Sony Ericsson W902, a competitor to the Nokia N95 8GB ?

Well last night I was browsing the internet for new phone releases and related stuf, and I found this amazing device! yes the Sony Ericsson W902 is a very good competitor to the Nokia N95 8GB for its technical specifications. This walkman phone comes with a 8GB memory card and also has a 5 megapixel camera.










Well you can check the product video HERE


the phone technical specifications are as follows:

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:
Screen- 240x320 pixel- 262.144 color TFT
Memory- Phone memory 25MB*- Memory Stick Micro™ (M2™) support
* Actual free memory may vary due to phone pre-configuration.
Networks- GSM 850- GSM 900- GSM 1800- GSM 1900- EDGE- UMTS 2100- HSDPA
Available colours- Volcanic Black - Wine Red - Earth Green
Possible limited market availability.
Sizes- 49.0 x 110.0 x 11.7 mm- 1.9 x 4.3 x 0.5 inches
Weight- 99.8 gr- 3.5 oz
Please note that local variations may apply.


well this is possibly the first time that sony ericsson has 'integrated' the 'walkman' and 'cybershot' qualities into one device! the phone is said to be released later this year. Sony have come up with the slogan 'I REBORN MUSIC'.. well that is certainly true. Previews say that the phone has the 'BEST' sound quality on earphones BUT the major set-back is that you have to use the tradtionaly pop-port connector for your headset instead of a 3.5mm pin headset.

Also the phone comes with a 8GB memory card so you can store more music and media on it.

Well I consider it a worthy competitor to the Nokia N95 8GB on the grounds of technical specifications. but the real phone has yet to be reviewed so we cannot say as of now as to which phone is better. Yes the N95 8GB comes with GPS and other cool features, but the W902 is a really good device for Sony Ericsson lovers out there ! ;)



So you decide!

FM Radio, the forgotten one...

Well if I ask people whether they use the FM radio (Visual Radio) on their Nokia Devices that have a Music Player, the people who say a 'YES' will be negligible compared to the people using the Music Player. Well I strongly agree that with the Music player we have the total choice of songs in our hands and also can play whatever,whenever you want it. But this "FM radio" thing struck my head last night when I was doing some work with the Music player working on my Nokia N95 8GB (on heatsets of course, that too at a 'moderate' volume! ;) ) , I kinda got 'bored' ya really 'bored' of the Music Player, so I decided to use the 'Radio' !
And I 'enjoyed' the experience! Seriously ! the random tracks playing in my ears were a real breath of fresh air! The FM Radio Stations in India atleast have good tracks playing!











The following screenshots are taken from my Nokia N95 8GB. I tried the 'Visual radio' thing but it had some problems but I do remember my previous experience of visual radio on Nokia N76 sometime ago. Its nice (at least I liked it).
Lately we have all seen the Nokia N78 come built with the 'FM Transmitter' so Nokia has been paying attention to Radio, etc. but have you used your FM Radio lately ? or just go on with the Music Player ? :)
Would love to have your views and comments !

"Large Time Screensaver" for S60 3rd Edition Devices

As everyone knows that the default "time screensaver" on your S60 3rd edition devices is very tough to read, and the font of the digits of the clock is too small.

So if you want (I know u want it :P ) a Bigger and better Time Screensaver for your device then the "Large Time Screensaver" is the appliction for you!

Yes its freeware and you can easily install it on your phone :)
Once you've installed the application you have to go to the 'Personalisation' menu which is in 'Settings' and choose the 'Themes' sub-menu and you can select "LargeTime Screensaver" as your screensaver!
It's a really nice application, and I should say its a real 'Must-have' application for your phone!
You can Download it from here
