The Nokia E-Series range of mobile phones has now expanded to include the new Nokia E63 smartphone, available in a cool blue exterior casing this new addition to the range joins the original black and more recent red colour variants.

The Nokia E63 Blue has been released as a SIM free mobile phone, this means that consumers can use their existing SIM card containing their mobile number, network account details and any ’saved to SIM’ contacts, there are no network credit checks involved in the purchasing of the Nokia E63 as the handset is unlocked to all networks and there are no extra ongoing monthly costs for line rental involved.

The beauty of a SIM free mobile phone is that it can be used on any compatible network operator so the user is not tied to just one or two suppliers, the SIM free Nokia E63 would make an ideal replacement for a lost or stolen mobile phone as well as an upgrade to the previous E71 model.

Taking on a similar design form to the Nokia E71 the new E63 adds even more functionality and features into what was already a very practical business phone, the extra colour variants on offer show that the popularity of the full qwerty keypad phone appeals not just to the greyscale professional but to those who enjoy a little personlisation and colour in their life.

Launching around the same time as the new Nokia 5800 Xpress Music the manufacturer is covering both ends of the phones market, from the fashion aware, music lovings consumers right through to the serious business players who need to communicate fast. Both models represent the best in their individual Series and with the addition of the new Nokia N97 as the manufacturers flagship model, Nokia really look like they are going places even in the tough current economic climate.

The Nokia E63 Blue offers exactly the same features, design and technology as the red edition of this top end smartphone, the only difference is that the exterior casing has been exchanged for a new deep blue metallic finish.

The blue Nokia E63 offers a dual home screen option lets users balance their work and personal life in one. Change between two different standby screens; both completely configurable with the users choice of short-cuts, email accounts, message notifications and more. Choose between home/work, home/abroad or customize the the screens however is best for the individual user.

Improve your work flow with the Nokia E63 unlocked, instant push email support delivers messages the moment they are sent. The setup is simple and a dedicated email key and full QWERTY keyboard help get the messages across whilst dual mode functionality allows users to switch between work and personal emails at a moments notice.

The Nokia E63 has a large wide screen display large screen for watching films in their original wide screen format with smooth uninterrupted playback. MP3 music player and microSDHC expandable memory lets users carry their music and movie collection with them when they need to unwind. A 3.5mm headphone socket is also present allowing users to connect their favourite pair of headphones to the E63 whenever they want.

Although initially released as a SIM Free mobile phone the Nokia E63 is expected to be rolled out onto the networks over the coming days giving consumers access to pay monthly contract deals with tariffs to match their usage requirements, the Nokia E63 red is widely predicted to be the next model to be launched form the E-Series range and will probably follow the same release format of SIM free and unlocked first followed by future network launches.

The most talked about mobile phone of 2008 is now being launched by the UK networks, the Nokia N96 was first released on O2 just days ago before being joined by an Orange network release, shortly after the N96 was made available as a SIM Free handset and now a third UK network has taken this top of the range Nokia phone.

Consumers can now connect the Nokia N96 to the full range of Vodafone pay monthly tariffs which means that the number of packages available for this handset has now expanded making it far easier to match the correct tariff to a users requirements.

Vodafone have made the N96 available on both their 12 and 18 month tariffs with line rentals ranging from just £15 per month through to £80 per month for their high user packages, this is not to be the last UK network launch fro the Nokia N96 as there are still two more operators to pick up this amazing new phone.

Review:

Stunning to look at, feature packed and Mensa smart, the Nokia N96 is a multimedia mobile with a high-quality video and music player, 5.0 megapixel camera and 16GB memory.

Watching videos and listening to music on the Nokia N96 is fantastic. The picture on the supersize 2.8” screen is bright and clear, and the sound from the built-in 3D stereo speakers is superb. There’s even a clever little kickstand on the back of the N96 so you can sit back and enjoy the show.

With a massive 16GB internal memory, the Nokia N96 can store a mountain of music, videos, pictures and maps. And if 16GB isn’t enough, you can increase this to 24GB using the N96’s memory card slot.

When you use the Nokia N96 to take photos, the picture quality is in a different league – thanks to its 5.0 megapixel camera and Carl Zeiss optics. The Nokia N96 also has a geotagging feature that lets you record where you’ve taken a shot so you can share the details with friends online.

The Personal Data Assistant (PDA) has won rapid acceptance among university students and executives who are constantly on the move because of its ability to package a lot of different data requirements into a palm sized device. The PDA is designed to make a busy life easier by providing sensible connections to all the information you need, have it at your fingertips when you need it, and transport it to other systems. Once ‘organised’ with your PDA, you will have all of your contact phone numbers, be collecting your emails, process your business orders, display your photographs and relax to your mp3 library. Many PDAs also act as a digital recorder and have windows based compatibility for word processing and spreadsheet financial calculations.

PDAs At the simplest end of the market, a PDA can help you manage your daily to-do lists, keep track of your diary and record your memos. But it’s important for people moving into using a PDA to understand that it is a tool that is most beneficial to an already organised mind: it won’t actually do the organising for you. But if you find you need to view and manage documents on the go, keep track of your appointments and have instant access to your name and address book, then the basic functions of a PDA will probably enhance your productivity. And of course the added bonuses of listening to your mp3s, watching short video clips, reading ebooks and being able to rehearse and review your presentations can only help.

PDAs with the Windows Pocket PC operating system and gutsy memory are compatible with your normal windows and office environments. Screen size and image resolution can be critical if you intend to use the device for reading books and managing text-heavy documents. While sales of PDAs have steadily declined over the past two years, losing to smartphone technology, the main manufacturers have advanced the usability of PDA devices with faster processors, increases in memory and multimedia capability. In many situations, smartphones have been able to replace many functions of the PDA, combining data management with mobile phone technology. But if you want to work with spreadsheets and web pages on your PDA, smartphones are at a disadvantage from smaller screen sizes and data storage capability and sometimes cost, but they obviate the need to carry two devices.

What to look for

There’s a hand-held PDA device to suit practically every budget and need. You need to consider just how much data you want to carry with you and how connected you want to be. Obviously more memory, faster processor and bigger screen attract higher price tags. You can compare brands, models and prices by searching Myshopping.com.au using the following specifications to guide you.

A budget basic unit might offer a processor speed of 16 MHz, 8MB of memory and at 2.5 inch (diagonal) screen. At the high end, you can get a 4GB micro hard drive, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, 400 MHz processor, 256MB memory, with expansion slots, 4 inch (diagonal) LCD screen with 65,000 colours and 640×480 display resolution, GPS functionality, MP3 player, digital camera and instant messaging. In the middle of the range you will find devices with 64MB of memory, a 200 MHz processor, 3 inch screen and built-in microphone or audio input jack. Bear in mind that all of these specifications and functionalities change continuously, and devices are upgraded with new features over very short spaces of time.

Apart from processor speed, memory and screen size, some of the critical specifications that you can use for cost and brand comparisons include:

Data input – While some models have a full QWERTY keyboard built-in, you may want to consider adding a fold-up full-size external keyboard. Entering lots of text with the small built-in keypads or using the handwriting software can be frustrating.

Audio input – A built-in microphone or microphone jack is needed for recording voice memos and meeting notes and store audio files.

Music playback – MP3 audio file playback can sometimes need additional software.

GPS – While there are a number of purpose-built hand-held devices for industrial applications, your PDA’s GPS capability may not be suitable for rugged outdoor activities.

Communication – Look for integrated Bluetooth 1.1 and a built-in 802.11b Wi-Fi adapter

Smartphone – Combines the functions of a mobile phone with a data management device in a single unit. Phone capability requires a separately purchased service contract

Audio Output – A headphone jack is essential for listening to your audio files

Cradle/Charger – This device allows for easy connection and synchronization with your PC while simultaneously recharging your battery. Consider buying an additional cradle for the office for maximum convenience. Some PDAs include a cable or a special cradle that provides an interface with your desktop computer to synchronize data.

Battery life – Each device will have its own battery-life characteristics. Battery recharge life is also dependant upon the data you are processing. You can use manufacturer’s specifications as a guide to compare between brands and models, but these specifications are laboratory measurements and may not reflect your actual use.

Bluetooth – This wireless technology lets you to exchange data with other handheld devices or any other Bluetooth enabled device such as a cell phone, fax machine, personal computer, laptop computer, headset or printer. The Bluetooth feature will allow you to add an external keyboard.

Digital camera – PDA cameras usually capture low resolution images (around 1.2 megapixels), which are perfect for emailing but not ideal for printing.

GPS – Global positioning system allows you to navigate from any point on or near the surface of the earth.

Music/Audio – The MP3 playback quality will depend on the bit rate of the audio file and the quality of the built-in speaker. The audio quality is often better when played back through a quality headset.

PDA Screen – PDA screen sizes are measured in inches diagonally and are available from 2.6 inches up to 5 inches on the very high-end. Larger, brighter screens require more power to operate therefore increase battery consumption.

Processor speed – refers to the speed in which a PDA coordinates its internal functions. Processor speeds are measured in MHz (megahertz) and range between 4 MHz and 624 MHz. Although these specifications can change rapidly as technology develops, it is recommended to have a processor speed of at least 16 MHz for general day-to-day functions.

Video capture – Video playback often requires an additional expansion card and a third-party software download, and higher memory capability.

Web Browser – Used with a Wi-Fi connection, lets you browse the internet as you would from a desktop computer.

Wi-Fi – Integrated 802.11b WLAN (wireless local area network), enables you to connect to the internet in any hot spot. Enabling the Wi-Fi features tends to consume battery life quickly.

In summary

You may like to consider whether you are a novice (that is, new to PDA technology), an entrepreneur or a technophile, and make your search based on your level of understanding of the technology involved. As a novice, you will be searching for a basic unit, as a technophile you will be looking for all the bells and whistles. An entrepreneur will be searching for the most adaptable capabilities. The following might assist.

Choose amongst functionalities. Consider you need for mp3 players, or video players, or web browsing. Doubling the functionality of your PDA may reduce the need to have to carry another device around in order to enjoy the benefits offered.

How much internet access do you need? Bluetooth connectivity can give you mobile phone enabled internet access, Wife can give you access from hot spots, and simple cable connection to your desktop computer can let you read your emails on the road.

Go for maximum memory for money. Memory determines how much data your PDA can process and store, and its ability to handle applications. Memory can be boosted in many devices using expansion slots and flash memory cards.

Search Myshopping.com.au to compare models and brands, and vendors and prices.

One of the most common questions among those shopping for PDA’s is what does PDA stand for? A PDA is also known as a personal digital assistant, and that term describes its function pretty well. A personal digital assistant is designed to help the user get more done and be able to work smarter no matter what their job. So I would say that PDA equals GMD, Where GMD stands for getting more done.

When shopping for a PDA, it helps to think about the question what does PDA stand for. A PDA should function as your assistant, helping you to get the most done with the least amount of trouble and effort.

There are many manufacturers of personal digital assistants (PDA’s). Some of the most popular models of PDA’s are the palm and the iPAQ. The palm is made by Palm One corporation and the iPAQ is made by HP. No matter what type of PDA’s you are shopping for, it is important to make sure they contain the features and specifications you are looking for.

Let’s have a quick look at the elements of a good PDA, and what you want to look at when you go out to get yourself one:

1. Maybe one of the most important elements of any PDA is its memory capacity. The memory capacity of today’s pocket pc models is much better than previous models, and increased memory means that more programs can run at the same time without degrading the performance of the pocket pc. I would say that with today’s demands of software, don’t even think of going with less that 32 MB Installed memory to start with. Of course, this can be expanded if future needs arise.

2. Another important thing to look for is a strong processor. Again, the processor chips available for today’s pocket pcs are much better and much faster than those made just a few years ago. A fast processor means that the PDA will function much more smoothly and not bog down as more programs are opened. It’s recommended you aim for the 624 MHz processor, such as the one installed on the iPAQ hx4705. If you have a modest budjet, a 312 Mhz will do OK too.

3. Battery life is another important consideration when looking at the various models of PDA’s. A PDA with a dead battery is a useless PDA, so it is important to not only choose a PDA with a long battery life, but to carry a spare battery and a good charger as well. Today’s batteries are getting better and better, as the new Lithium Ion (Li Ion) PDA batteries are becoming more popular. These batteries are made using a new technology which makes them last %40 longer that the old Nickel Cadmium batteries. They are also a lot lighter in weight. Which makes them a perfect match for a PDA. The downside to the Lithium Ion PDA batteries is that they are more expensive, but in my opinion – this is a worth while investment.

So all you have to do now is to choose a PDA that meets your need. Good luck.
