Nokia launches the 5630 XpressMusic model

Expanding its line of music-focused mobile phones, Nokia today announced the 5630 XpressMusic handset.

Most may not associate this series with high-end handsets, but the 5630 could challenge that notion and may even be an inexpensive alternative to some E- and N-series devices. This slim candybar runs the Symbian S60 operating system and comes with so many features it will make you wonder how they kept the dimensions at 112x46x12mm.

Connectivity-wise, the 5630 comes with HSDPA as well as HSUPA for high-speed uploads (depending on whether your operator supports this, of course). Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are both included, with the latter supporting A2DP for wireless stereo headsets. Storage is in the form of microSD cards with a 4GB capacity included in the box. The breadth of features is pretty impressive, rivalling the high-end N- and E-series devices with the only notable absence being GPS. Being an XpressMusic device, it also comes with a standard 3.5mm audio jack so you can plug in your favourite pair of headphones.

Interestingly, the Home screen on the 5630 looks different from other S60 phones. An additional Contacts Bar at the top makes it appear similar to what's found on the new S60 5th Edition touchscreen phones from Nokia. If this works the same way as the 5800 XpressMusic, you will be able to access all the details of your favourite contacts conveniently from the Home screen.

According to Nokia's press release, the 5630 will be available in selected markets in Q2. The Nokia Conversations blog states that it will sell for about €199 (AU$390) before taxes and subsidies.

***

My note on this one: wow, I just received my very own 5800 XpressMusic, and now we have a brand new model on the works. That's quite fast for Nokia, eh? Anyway, I guess this model will be able to compete with other music-themed phone models, most particularly with Samsung's music phone brand and Sony Ericsson's Walkman brand. Well, I guess we just have to wait till' Q2 of this year to have a definitive review on this phone.

Notebooks to save and crave for this 2009..

Alright, in this post I'll be discussing about some hot notebooks as of date. My last visit at SM North Edsa's Cyberzone showrooms prompted me to post something about them, given the fact that I was impressed by these digital notebooks and how they evolved alongside today's environment.

So, before I discuss those laptops of my choice, let us first discuss the latest trends on notebook technology.

Notebook computers of 2009 will have touchscreen interface and will also have sim card slots placed on them, enabling their users to connect to the internet with the use of just a sim card.

2009 will also usher in Intel's 2 new processors: the Atom N280 and the Medfield. Solar powered notebooks will also be rampant this year.

So there you have it. Now I'll be discussing 4 hot laptops as of date and why it is worth buying them.

1. MacBook Pro Unibody

Announced just recently, a new model for the MacBook Pro series will be released very soon. The Unibody MacBook Pro will have a sleeker design and adaptability than its previous iteration. All of its ports were shifted on its left side and the optical card reader was placed on its opposite side. The DVI port was replaced with a Mini DisplayPort receptacle. The FireWire Port 400 was removed as well, but the FireWire Port 800 remains for your convenience.

Here are the specifics for the Unibody MacBook Pro.

Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 9400M + 9600M GT 512Mo
Display: 17" glossy glass covered screen, 1920x1200 with LED backlighting
Hard Drive: 320GB Serial ATA at 5400/7200 rpm.
Processor: 2.66GHz/2.93GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T9550/T9800 with 6 MB on-chip L2 cache
Memory: 4GB of 1066MHz PC3-8500 DDR3 SO-DIMM SDRAM (can be expanded to 8GB)

So there you go. It's a great choice for a notebook I should say, but it has a hefty price. You'll need to work your butts off to buy this one.

2. Dell Inspiron Mini 10

This is actually not the Mini 10, but rather my very own Mini 9.

Alright, so I apologize if I'm unable to show a pic of the Mini 10. Nuff' with that. So the Inspiron Mini 10 was actually released last Thursday with a base price of $399. It is a netbook with a 10.1" screen, and was designed to fill in the gaps between the Mini 10 and the Mini 12. Dell actually used the moniker Mini 10 to show that its abundance of features deserves to be given a perfect rate of 10. As announced by Dell, it's going to have a TV Tuner and a HD feature which will be added on a future date.

Now, let's have its known specifics as of date.

Display: 10.1" LCD with 1024x576 screen resolution and 1280x720 HD Widescreen resolution
Processor: Intel Atom Z520/Z530

Known Ports: HDMI Port
Extra Feature: Integrated TV Tuner

3. Dell Latitude XT2

Announced recently, Dell will launch its updated version of its Latitude Touch-Tablet convertible models. Dubbed as the XT2, it will be having a capacitive touch screen interface, which can also be used with an EM stylus and comes loaded with Bluetooth 2.0 and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.

Here are its other specs.

Display: 12.1" 1280x800 capacitive touch screen interface
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo ULV processor running at 1.2/1.4GHz
Connectivity: Bluetooth 2.0, Gigabit Ethernet
Known Ports: eSATA port, FireWire Port 400/800, VGA out port and two USB ports

I am hoping that this latest iteration of the XT series will be able to solve the problems and the flaws exhibited by the previous Latitude models. Knowing Dell, I am sure they have come up with something to combat these issues.

4. Acer Aspire One 10" Model

Alright, here's the final laptop in this post's list: the Acer Aspire 10" model. As the moniker suggests, it has a 10 inch screen with updated specifics and features, and is running with Windows XP/VIsta, although it is not known if a Linux Edition will be offered.

Let's have a rundown of its specifics.

Display: 10" with 1024x600 screen resolution
Processor: 1.6GHz Intel Atom Processor
Hard Drive: 160GB Hard Disk Drive
Known Ports: SDHC Slot, Bluetooth receiver, optional 3G/WiMax ports and 3 additional USB ports

Its only downside is its wireless connection. Some users have complained that they're having a hard time working out with its connectivity. Guess Acer has to solve this issue out, but nonetheless it is a worth purchase for your penny.

And there you have it. My mini-review about some of the hottest notebook computers as of date. Hope I am able to help you out with regards to these latest notebook models. Before you log-out, please do make sure you'll subscribe to my feeds or follow my blog. Until then!

My new phone!

That's not my actual phone, haha. I'm so much lazy to take a pic of it.

At last, I received a new Nokia 5800 XpressMusic from my mom. It was a cool gift, a reward for all my academic achievements so far.

Maybe it just got a little bit early, concerning the fact that this term yet has to end, but hey who could deny such a cool gadget like this one?

Anyways, I'm still trying out its capabilities. I am not that used to this phone as of now but as far as it goes, I can say in all-honesty that this phone rocks.

For those who are not yet familiar with this phone, let me give out its basic specifics:

OS: Symbian S60 Touch Edition
Camera: 3.2 MP AF Carl Zeiss lens, dual LED flash and geotagging support
Radio: FM Radio 87.5-108 MHz with RDS
Quad Band
Memory Capability up to 16GB, with an 8GB microSDHC
Networks: HSDPA, A-GPS, GPS, EGRPS, WCDMA
Connectivity Options: WLan, Bluetooth 2.0, Micro USB

There you go. I'll be giving a full-review about this phone sometime next month, so watch out for that. :)

Goodbye to my so-emo days...

Well, I guess I don't have to be sad at all...

Just last night, in a surprising fashion, he made me smile and feel comfortable with all the pressures and feelings that I am dealing with lately.

He even helped me a bit with my term paper and gave away suggestions about it. That made me a little bit comfortable.

Guess I don't have a reason to be depressed after all..

So, let's wave our goodbyes at my emo state as we tune in to regular blogging here in Princess Journal. :)

For this week, I'll be making a review about the latest trends regarding laptops as well as their hottest models as of late. I'll be also shedding away some news about Red Alert 3, and a little preview on the upcoming Fabula Nova Crystallis Final Fantasy XIII compilation by Square Enix.

Thank you so much for those people who cheered me up last night. I appreciate it so much. :)

So, till' next time. I have to do my project at this very moment. Before you log-out, make sure you'll subscribe to my feeds or follow my blog for updates. Ciao!

So much for my wish...

Hoping smile..

Hai, so much for my own wish of being truly happy..

How I wish that I'll be able to find my one true prince..

So much for those wishes I guess. It's been a while since I broke up with Rei. For almost one year I was unable to get away from that lingering feeling- an evident sign of how traumatic our breakup was. It was so much painful to the extent that I thought of quitting all my dreams and ending my journey here.

Ironic as it seems, guess I am unable to do those things.

One at a time, all my wounds healed.

The past was sealed shut, giving way for me to search for happiness.

And now, I have found it.

In a form of an optimistic boy whose hopes have lead me to believe in that thing called love once more.

For a time, I was so happy..

I am glad being his Puffy...

Now, I want to wish for happiness again..

But as it seems to me, it'll be a little impossible for me to be able to take grasp of that wish of mine.

He loves someone else- that's a fact.

But still, even with that one undeniable fact, I can still feel how much I mean to him as his Puffy. I am contented already as one of his best friends..

No matter how bleak it may seem, I'll still hold on to my wish...
