According to the ITU’s initial IMT-Advanced specification, for a technology to be considered “4G” it must deliver downlink speeds of 1Gbps when stationary and 100Mbps when mobile.

In both brightness and richness, the Lumia 900 absolutely blows away the Focus S, which at the time I hailed as a beautiful Super AMOLED Plus screen in its own right. At the same levels of full and automatic brightness, the Lumia 900 shone about a full level brighter than the Focus S. Beyond the […]

Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth are standards, though sadly, the Lumia 900 ships with Bluetooth 2.1, practically antique compared with the new Bluetooth 4.0 standard we’re starting to see in mobile devices.

Nokia does make a mark with the nice Nokia Blue color theme (it’s the Lumia 900 default) and with a suite of Marketplace apps that include Nokia Drive, Nokia Maps, Nokia Transit, and Nokia Contacts Transfer. This section also highlights partners’ third-party apps, like ESPN and CNN. It’s a shame that the Lumia 900 doesn’t […]

That being said, video streaming and apps downloads and pictures downloads and uploads on Facebook and Flickr worked seamlessly and did not create any lag in between. However, the lack of fastest speeds and camera quality do make room for HTC Titan II to capture market share with Windows Phone OS. The Titan II was […]

The iPad 2 still remains one of the lightest and slimmest devices in the market at 1.33 lb (WiFi) and 1.35 lb (WiFi + 3G). On the other hand, the new iPad packs more muscles at the expense of its weight which is 1.44 lb (WiFi) and 1.46 lb (WiFi + 4G). However, the weight is not the only […]

Furthermore, it was much anticipated by the tech gurus that if Apple does not lower the price of their new tablets, the iPad 2 probably will see a price difference. The speculation was $200 to $250, but Apple proved them wrong at this, again. The probable reason for this might be the value of iPad […]

Moreover, the 2011 model is lighter and skinnier than the 2012 release which makes it a better choice for those who are pickier about the weight and size and do not have much to do on go other than reading books and watching movies. One of the main reasons why the new iPad is not […]
