UNIVERSAL TRUTH-
Help a girl when she is in trouble,
and she will surely remember you only when she is again in trouble!!!!! –

A gud person wil always be in memory,
A better person wil always be in dreams,
But the best person wil always be in HEART…
Like U…

Friendship is a ‘GIVE’ & ‘TAKE’ relationship.. I hope u agree with this saying.

So ‘GIVE’ me a treat & ‘TAKE’ me to a movie.. So simple..

Quite recently, one of my friend has got a Sony Ericsson K510i . First and foremost this phone is quite old but it still presents a good choice for buyers out there.

Here are some points which goes FOR K510i,

• Its handy and light at 82g with a neat professional look
• The Sony Ericsson User Interface is quite a joy to work with and easy to use
• The ring tone volume and speaker volume is good
• Address book with multiple details and good PIM features
• It has arguably the best 1.3 MP camera module in a cell phone
• Customization like themes, wallpapers, ringers are available in plenty and connectivity with PC through bluetooth or USB cable is a cinch
• Lots of java softwares and games available
• You can change the covers with style-up covers

Here are some points AGAINST K510i,

• Its memory is fixed at 28 MB with no memory expansion slots
• No EDGE data connectivity
• The screen is quite pixelated but for 4200/- bucks (105$) is OK.

At this price range there are quite a few competitors to mention few LG KG195, Nokia 3110 classic and Samsung SGH E250 .

This week has been crazy with lots of work (& in different types too)…anyway after almost 2 months with my IdeaPad , I got the 2GB DDR2 Kingston RAM (KTL-TP667/2G) after lots of delay. Couldn’t install myself anyway my computer service engineer installed it effortlessly ..viola !!! now my Ideapad has got 2 more gigs to run Vista and all other apps I throw at it now runs more smoothly, I should say making me

And one more gadget I bought was a affordable Canon scanner priced at 2,700 (67$) called CanoScan Lide 25.What impressed me most is that its USB powered so only one cable to clutter my work area and its quite slim and light. But on the other hand it feels fragile. Anyway vista easily detected it and I installed the software CD which came along with it. Tried scanning some black & white photos, the result was good. It seems this has a document to pdf scanner but still haven’t tried it yet. But as far as the verdict goes, it seems a Good Buy.

Last but not the least i was skeptical whether my ideapad would run with 1 + 2 GB DDR2 667 Mhz RAM ..but as of now it runs perfectly. And now the Windows Experience Index base score has been bumped up from 3.0 to 3.4

I’ve tried the original Nokia N95 before and have written about N82 , so when I got hold of a N95 8GB it made me wonder whether this is the multimedia king among mobile / smartphones out there !!!! The N95 8GB is basically a souped up N95 with additional RAM (now standing at 128 MB), 8GB memory, higher capacity battery and with N-gage platform preinstalled and in a sexy black color.

First things first the dual slider seems to be solid enough. And the extra RAM seems to be giving it the extra needed power especially while browsing the picture gallery and multitasking. Yet still there is some lag sometimes. I was impressed by its music quality and with 3.5 mm jack a high quality headphone can enhance your music experience.

When I speak of mutimedia, the video playback in a Iphone is the best I’ve seen, but N95 is very close and outmatches every other phone in camera and video shooting capabilities. Connectivity department is almost 100% covered from GPRS / EDGE to 3G , HSDPA,Wifi, And with its Symbian Series60 platform its a smartphone too. Its only bane is its lack of touchscreen but I don’t there is anything in life that is “PERFECT”, so N95 8GB can be called multimedia king…

What do you think ??? keep your comments coming
