You have the opportunity to find amazing LG phones on the market only if you do a little research. Each of these phones comes with attractive designs and various useful feats that make sure LG phones are significant competitors for the other smartphones available on the market. I found some amazing LG phones that you should take into consideration if you ever decide to purchase a new smartphone.

One of these LG phones is the LG Nitro HD which was released in the last quarter of 2011. Measuring 133.9 x 67.8 x 10.4 mm and weighing 127 grams, this smartphone is compatible with the trend of smartphones released in 2011: it makes available thin design and advanced features. On the front surface of the phone you will discover a large 4.5-inch AH-IPS LCD touchscreen with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, touch-sensitive controls and a front-facing camera designed for video calls. This LG phone is equipped with a 1.5GHz dual-core processor with 1GB of RAM and 4GB of storage and runs on Android 2.3.5 (soon upgradable to version 4.0). The 8MP rear camera takes gorgeous pictures because of the LED flash and various advanced camera settings available. This camera can also record 1080p HD videos. You can use FM radio, GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, HTML browser with Adobe Flash and 4G.

Another LG cell phone that you should consider is the LG Revere also released in 2011 (it comes with an attractive design). This clamshell phone weighs only 97 grams and features two nice displays. It offers a 1,000-contact phone book that allows you to add for each entry various personal details, a ringtone and a picture ID. The 1.3MP camera is pretty good for taking pictures and is equipped with self timer, digital zoom and white balance. Bluetooth, GPS and HTML browser are some of the connectivity options available on this phone.

I can’t forget about the LG Spectrum, released in January 2012. This LG phone features a 4.5-inch HD-IPS LCD touchscreen with a 720 x 1280 pixel resolution and touch-sensitive controls. It’s equipped with a 1.5GHz dual-core processor with 1GB of RAM and 4GB of storage just like the LG Nitro HD. Android 2.3 is the operating system available, so you will be able to use a HD movie editor, a document viewer/editor, voice memo/dial and predictive text input. This smartphone features two gorgeous cameras: a 1.3MP front-facing camera and an 8MP rear camera with LED flash, face detection and 1080p video recording capabilities (including LED video light). Regarding the connectivity options, this smartphone supports Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, A-GPS and HTML browser (+Adobe Flash).

Htc Thunderbolt Versus Samsung Galaxy S 2

Posted by Brasoveanu Lucian on February 2nd, 2012

In 2011, Samsung and HTC managed to release some pretty amazing and performance smartphones that have changed the smartphone market in a good way, making it more competitive. I personally was impressed by two smartphones released by these two well known brands. I’m talking about the Samsung Galaxy S 2 and the HTC Thunderbolt. That’s why I compared these two smartphones: to find out which one’s the best. Check out what I’ve discovered.

HTC Thunderbolt Versus Samsung Galaxy S 2 (Source: droidnerds.com)

Starting on the outside, I must say that both smartphones look amazing and come with almost the same dimensions. However, the Galaxy S 2 is larger while the Thunderbolt is heavier. That’s because the Thunderbolt measures 122 x 66 x 13 mm and weighs around 164 grams while the Galaxy S 2 measures 125.3 x 66.1 x 8.5 mm and feels pretty light (it weighs only 116 grams). Both smartphones feature touch-sensitive controls and amazing touchscreens that have the same size (4.3 inches) and the same resolution of 480 x 800 pixels. The only difference between these two screens consists in the type of touchscreen: the Thunderbolt features a TFT touchscreen while the Galaxy S 2 impresses with a Super AMOLED Plus touchscreen.

The hardware department is represented by powerful processors with enough space for storing music, photos and various apps. The HTC Thunderbolt is powered by a 1GHz Scorpion processor with 768MB of RAM and 4GB of storage. On the other hand, the Galaxy S 2 comes with a 1.2GHz dual-core processor with 1GB of RAM and 16/32 GB of storage which means that the Galaxy S 2 is more powerful than the HTC smartphone. Regarding the operating system available, both high end devices are Android phones, but run on different versions. The Galaxy S 2 runs on Android 2.3 Gingerbread and offers various feats including image/video editor, document editor, SNS integration and predictive text input while the Thunderbolt runs on Android 2.2 Froyo with the HTC Sense 2.0 UI and allows you to use an organizer, a document viewer and predictive text input.

The camera is another important feature of these smartphones that I compared. I’ve discovered that both smartphones feature two amazing cameras: a front facing camera for video calls (of 1.3MP on the Thunderbolt and of 2MP on the Galaxy S 2) and an 8MP rear camera with LED flash, advanced camera settings and HD video recording capabilities (720p HD for the Thunderbolt and 1080p HD for the Samsung).

These smartphones are impressive devices, worth every penny. They have a lot of common characteristics including almost the same connectivity options (Bluetooth Wi-Fi, A-GPS and HTML browser with Adobe Flash), but also many differences. My favorite remains the Galaxy S 2.

Sync Motorola Atrix With Outlook

Posted by Brasoveanu Lucian on February 1st, 2012

The Motorola Atrix, as well as the other Android phones available, is able to support “over-the-air” sync with Microsoft Exchange servers. That means you have the possibility to sync your contacts, mail and calendars which is pretty useful. However, syncing your smartphone with local Outlook data using USB is a completely different story.

You should know that Google offers a great app for syncing Outlook calendars with Google Calendar. Unfortunately, the old versions of Outlook (released before 2003) aren’t compatible with the app made available. That’s why you will have to convert calendar entries to CSV files and import them to Google Calendar manually. To also sync contacts with Microsoft Outlook, you will have to use a second app called GO Contact Sync. Google also offers an Outlook sync app for business accounts. If you don’t want to use Google’s solutions, you should choose one of the following options I’ve recently discovered.

For the Motorola Atrix, you also have the possibility to use Motorola’s web-based phone portal software that allows you to import/export CSV files filled with contacts. You will find this method to add/remove contacts in/from Outlook quite painful, but if you need to use it only one single time, it’s ok. Another option that you can try and which doesn’t involve any payment involves using the cloud. By using Funambol Sync which is actually “MobileMe” for Android phones, you will have the possibility to sync contacts, photos and Android calendars across smartphones, computers and even tablets. The most important feature of this service is the possibility to sync with Microsoft Outlook on desktop computers. If you are interested in trying Funambol, you need to locate it in Android Market. You will then have to create an account in order to be able to install the Funambol Sync Client for Outlook on the targeted computer and on your Motorola Atrix.

I also recommend the paid Outlook sync option available on the market not only for the Motorola Atrix, but also for other Android devices. The first paid option you should try is Missing Sync for Android which is available for $39.95 and allows you to sync contacts, calendars, notes and tasks with Microsoft Outlook, so it’s capable of all syncing capabilities you might be interested in using.

You should also check out CompanionLink for Android which is another useful Outlook sync option that costs around $39.95. This option is able to sync Outlook contacts, tasks, calendars and notes using Wi-Fi or USB. You should also know that CompanionLink can sync with Lotus Notes, GoldMine, Palm Desktop and Novell GroupWise.

Nokia N8 Application

For the incredible Nokia N8 you have the possibility to find various apps that will boost the phone’s capabilities. If you are interested in useful Symbian apps that you can install on a N8, here are some impressive examples.

Nokia N8 Application (Source: a1.mzstatic.com)

ExpensIT is one of these apps and is designed to help you manage all your business and personal expenses. It lets you create various expense reports based on the category you choose: Business, Personal or Official. For each expense report you can set a certain budget. Afterwards, the app will make sure that your expenses are kept under that limit. This app also lets you select predefined categories of expenses or add new ones for each expense report. You will also have the possibility to create graphical and CSV expense reports and then send them by email.

Another pretty useful Nokia N8 app that you should consider is TrackIT which allows you to track, price and locate your packages and shipments. It’s the perfect solution to keep an eye on your packages on their road to you from the logistic operator. You should know that this app supports four shipping carriers: DHL, USPS, UPS and Fedex. With the help of this app you will be able to select the suitable shipping carrier based on proximity, pricing, services and delivery schedules. As I said above, you will be able to view the current location of your package because this app is “trained” to work with GPS.

SpellerOn is another must have Nokia N8 app that’s designed to help you get rid of typing mistakes. This app comes with useful features including a unique type assist and spelling correction tool which can correct emails as well as notes you decide to save for later use. The Spell Check mode assists you with correct spellings and meanings, so your messages will be closer to perfection.

I can’t forget about MyWines which is a lifestyle app that you should have installed on your smartphone because it helps you record details about your favorite wines, everything from price and pictures to tasting notes. This app also provides a varietal guide and wine glossary which is useful for both experienced and novice consumers. With the help of Ovi Maps, this app is also able to provide information regarding the closest wine shop available near your current location.

Wakeup Lite is a useful Nokia N8 app because it’s designed to wake you up in the morning. You will notice this is a great alarm clock app that runs in the background and offers great setting reminders. You have the possibility to set various recurring and non-recurring alarms.

One of the apps designed for “broken” iPhone 4s is LockInfo.

You also have the possibility to use email previewing and notification clearing on the lockscreen which is pretty impressive.

Backgrounder is another useful iPhone app that uses the multitasking feature of your smartphone. It allows you to minimize apps to the background and perform multiple tasks in the same time. What I like about this app is its capacity to switch between various running apps and its simple and user friendly interface.

The Samsung Galaxy S is one serious smartphone when it comes to GPS apps. I recently discovered some interesting GPS apps that you should have a look at especially if you are on the road a lot.

Locale is one of these applications which it is considered one of the most popular GPS apps available on the market. This app offers information regarding places you are looking for such as: bars, restaurants, hospitals and other public services. But that is not all it can do. Locale is able to track your location and also detects changes in the phone’s location, so that you will not disturb the audience if you are in a movie hall, for example. In this situation your phone profile turns to Silent.

Another useful GPS app that you should have on your Samsung Galaxy S is Yelp. It helps you find useful information about the nearest gas stations, hospitals and eat outs.

Htc Inspire 4g Vs Motorola Atrix

Posted by Brasoveanu Lucian on January 28th, 2012

On the market you will find a wide variety of smartphones, so in order to decide which one is best and worth your money you need to be well informed. In my opinion, the best way to find out which device offers the best features and performance is to compare it with other similar smartphones. That’s what I did with the HTC Inspire 4G and the Motorola Atrix 2 and look what I found.

HTC Inspire 4G Vs Motorola Atrix 2 (Source: 4.bp.blogspot.com)

First of all, both devices were released in 2011 and come with attractive designs and well built bodies. In terms of dimensions, I must say that the HTC Inspire 4G is smaller than the Atrix 2, measuring 122.9 x 68.1 x 11.7 mm, but it’s also thicker and heavier than Motorola’s smartphone because the Atrix 2 measures 126 x 66 x 10mm and weighs around 147 grams. Regarding the screens integrated, I must say that both devices feature large touchscreens with nice resolutions. The Motorola Atrix 2 features a 4.3-inch TFT touchscreen with a 540 x 960 pixel resolution, Gorilla Glass and touch-sensitive controls. On the other hand, the Inspire 4G comes with a gorgeous 4.3-inch S-LCD touchscreen with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, touch-sensitive controls and Gorilla Glass.

Under the hood, these smartphones host powerful processors: the Inspire 4G is equipped with a 1GHz processor with 768MB of RAM and 4GB of storage while the Atrix 2 is powered by a 1GHz dual-core processor with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of storage. Considering the operating systems available, I need to mention that both high end devices are Android phones, so you will have full access to the Android Market and you will be able to use various features such as voice memo, predictive text input and preloaded Google apps. The Atrix 2 runs on Android 2.3 Gingerbread with Motoblur while the Inspire 4G comes with Android 2.2 Froyo (upgradable to version 2.3) and the HTC Sense UI.

Another common feature available on these two smartphones is the 8MP camera that comes with almost similar camera settings and HD video recording capabilities. The only exceptions refer to the dual LED flash available on the Inspire (on the Atrix 2 you will find single LED flash) and the 1080p HD video recording capability available only on the Atrix 2 (on the Inspire you can record only 720p HD videos). A plus for the Atrix 2 is the presence of a front-facing camera which lacks on the Inspire 4G. Both smartphones offer various wireless options including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, A-GPS, 3G and HTML browser with Adobe Flash. I like both smartphones, but the Motorola Atrix 2 is better.

Htc Legend Vs Nokia N8

Posted by Brasoveanu Lucian on January 27th, 2012

I’m always interested in comparing the new smartphones released on the market because I have the opportunity to find out which one is worth my money. This is one of the reasons why I decided to compare the HTC Legend with the Nokia N8. Both smartphones were released in 2010, but they aren’t short of differences and similarities.

HTC Legend Vs Nokia N8 (Source: posterous.com)

Starting on the outside, these two high-end devices have almost the same dimensions. The Nokia N8 measures 113.5 x 59.1 x 12.9 mm and weighs around 135 grams while the HTC Legend it’s slightly smaller and lighter measuring 112 x 56.3 x 11.5 mm and weighing only 126 grams. Both smartphones feature touchscreens with good resolutions and Gorilla Glass. The HTC Legend comes with a 3.2-inch AMOLED touchscreen with a 320 x 480 pixel resolution that displays text and pictures that look crisp. On the other hand, the Nokia N8 impresses with a larger screen, of 3.5 inches, that’s an AMOLED touchscreen with a resolution of 360 x 640 pixels.

Another important feature that I always compare is the camera available because I love to take pictures on the go. The Nokia N8 features an impressive 12MP camera with Carl Zeiss lens, Xenon flash and 720p HD video recording capabilities. You also have the possibility to make video calls with the help of the VGA front-facing camera. The HTC Legend comes with only one camera: a 5MP rear camera with LED flash and video recording capabilities. Because I’m a so passionate about photos I prefer the N8’s camera.

The next stop of our comparison is the hardware department. I must say that both devices are equipped with powerful processors able to run various apps without any delays. The HTC Legend is powered by a 600MHz processor with 384MB of RAM while the Nokia N8 uses a 680MHz processor with 256MB of RAM and 16GB of storage. These smartphones offer microSD support, so you will be able to increase the storage area by purchasing microSD cards of up to 32GB. Regarding the operating system available, the Nokia N8 runs on Symbian 3 OS and comes with voice command/dial, a document viewer and video/photo editor. On the other hand, the Legend runs on Android 2.1 with the HTC Sense UI and offers almost the same features as the Nokia N8 as well as some preloaded Google apps.
