Has the iPhone 4S really turned into a 4G device? – The real story unveiled – Part 3

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. So far no commercialized standard — whether it’s WiMax, LTE or HSPA+ — has even come close to reaching these aggressive specifications. However, with time, ITU showed flexibility […]

Nokia Lumia 900: Full Review (2012) – Part 1

Nokia showcased its first 4G LTE smartphone, Nokia Lumia 900 at the Consumer Electronics Show 2012 in January.

Nokia Lumia 900: Full Review (2012) – Part 2

Having said that, Lumia pack a punch in its unibody structure that deliberately comes in some flashy colours like Magenta, for example. Its lightly sculpted chassis and deliberate use of coloUr scream “lifestyle product.” Bold as an exclamation mark, the Lumia 900 has pure pop-art coursing through its electrical veins. The chassis has a perfectly […]

Nokia Lumia 900: Full Review (2012) – Part 3

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 […]

Nokia Lumia 900: Full Review (2012) – Part 4

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 boasts that its 8-megapixel camera on the Lumia 900 has Carl Zeiss optics, which, along with its dual-LED flash and autofocus, are meant […]

Nokia Lumia 900: Full Review (2012) – Part 5

Nokia Lumia 900: Full Review (2012) – Part 6

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 […]

Nokia Lumia 900: Full Review (2012) – Part 7

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 […]
