  • Nokia E61i Review
    Welcome to the Nokia E61i mobile phone review. As the name suggests it is targeted at business and smartphone users. We actually got the phone 6 months ago and its become the main phone that one of us now use as a regular phone. We've just been a little slack in posting the official review. The main selling features of this phone is a lovely wide screen and mini qwerty keyboard. It runs the S60 operating system so you know what you're getting. That aside the hardware on the phone is state of the art - at least for 2007. That said, it is missing one key feature, namely a FM Radio so if you can live without one this review is worth a read! Battery Life The battery life of this phone is excellent. With normal use and roaming on GSM networks you can get at least 12 days of stand time. On 3G networks its about 7 days. Left on purely on stand by your looking at 2 weeks for GSM which we think is fabulous just like the old days. Naturally with ultra-heavy usage it will go for at least a day. With Bluetooth, Wi-FI turned on and calls etc. Try that with a TREO or Windows Mobile and you'll need a charger in about 4-5 hours. Speed The phone is reasonably fast. It activates all functions except JAVA based programs with minimal delay. That said, the screen re-draws occasionally lag but its no different to other smart phones. Overall it could be made faster. Construction. The E61i is partly made of real metal which is brilliant. It is also put together really well with no creaking or movable panels. It's like a block of hard wood. Of course it means a weight penalty but in comparison to other smartphones its design stands out like a super model at a Biggest loser audition. Being thin but wide allows you to put in almost all types of shirt pockets without a huge budge. The full keypad is very good, the buttons have a rudder like surface which makes usage less error prone than others. However the buttons are on the small side for those with larger fingers - but then what modern phone isn't. The buttons are also harder to press than normal phones which is not a criticism since it seems to work better for it. The design is quality and is the class leader compared to ALL other mobile phones in the category. After using the e61i we found using the other qwerty based phones feel cheap. Functionality Overall the E61i does everything you could want in a mobile. The navigation aspect and functional improvements can still be made as a few of the applications like Quickoffice editors could be easier to use. The Alarm clock is missing the daily and week day auto repeats - which is unfortunate. It comes with a stack of utilities and business type applications. Eg. Word/Excel/Powerpoint editors, PDF reader, Flash player, zip file creator, wireless printing, and projector software, full Wi-Fi control, different web browsers, Blackberry software, comprehensive contacts management and of course JAVA. It also comes with one game Golf Pro 2 which is a great looking 3D um... golf game. Gmail and Google Maps Java applications work perfectly. Hotmail and Yahoo webmail also work either full Internet or WAP versions. The phone easily syncs with MS Outlook once the Nokia PC Suite is installed. Connectivity The E61i has all the options available, USB, Bluetooth, infrared, Wi-Fi. We love it. This demonstrates why Nokia is the leading mobile phone manufacturer. Sony Ericsson doesn't have the Wi-Fi yet on even it's range topper. MP3 and video/sound The sound quality and volume coming from this phone is very good but no where near the 6233 bench mark. However video and MP3 play back is much better with not lags or skipping. Videos are recorded in MP4 which a great move. Web Browser There are 2 browsers on the E61i one for WAP sites and one for normal internet pages. Both work well with CSS and BLOG sites. However like all mobile web browsers Flash based content or Youtube videos are not capable of being displayed with in the browser. If a website has streaming content the RealPlayer is activated to view the content. The camera/video/voice recorder It takes OK pictures for a mobile phone and has all the usual features for a camera phone. Features like brightness, various scenes modes light daylight, indoor outdoors, night mode, a timer, various effects like sepia m multiple picture size and quality etc.. Overall picture quality is a bit better than most average for a mobile. It doesn't produce sharp pictures and the colours OK it still won't rival a normal digital camera. Video recorder is likewise very average. Voice recorder is a on the unresponsive side because we had to talk close tot he phone for decent play back volume. The screen The E61i's screen is one of the best, nice and clear, sharp and the backlight bright. It has a light sensor too which automatically adjusts the backlight according to the environment. You can turn it off if you don't like this feature. It's one of the biggest screens for this class of phone. Call quality and network reception Very good voice quality on both GSM and 3G networks. The quality of the loud speaker really helps. It can also do video calls but you have to turn the phone around which defeats the purpose of video calls. Mind you very few people make video calls so its not exactly something to complain about. The Wi-Fi feature of the phone works very, well quick to start up and even has scanning capability. Only Apple's iPod touch is faster. Network reception is excellent. It can pull in all bars in areas where other phones can only manage two. Issues Some of the buttons are just too small, especially the main menu and voice recognition button are not easy to press. Activation of the loud speaker for incoming calls is not a simple process, a problem with all S60 phones. It doesn't have a FM radio - which is odd for a Nokia. Network Not all networks sell the phone so look for a network free version if you can. Summary So far most reviews on the Net tends to compare it with it's predecessor the E61 and assume that existing owners would consider the upgrade and simply conclude by saying it not worth it. Thankfully we have come up with a proper recommendation. Yes it is worth the upgrade to the E61i . Why? It's looks great, much better looking and constructed than the original. You don't have to worry about taking it out in public or at meetings. Nokia should be encouraged to make their phones better looking and use METAL in their designs. If you haven't already got one but want a smart phone that doesn't look or weigh like a brick then this is the phone to get. The battery life is great and it's comes with a ton of software that makes your working or private life easier. Even better is that it is relatively rare! The E61i really shines if you have access to Wi-Fi network or 3G. If you're only on a GSM network then you're missing out on it's internet capability. New SMS or texters will love the keypad and game players will enjoy the extra space and screen. The look of your phone says as much about you as any other fashion accessory. So get one!

  • Nokia 6120 Review
    The Nokia 6120 was a phone which we weren't inspired to review because it's not exactly an attractive mobile phone to look at. Ours is locked to the Telstra NextG network we had the 850Mhz '3G' version. (The phone is a Quad band GSM too.) We class this phone as a business model based on it's looks and price. Nokia's usual ability customize almost all the user interface features is thankfully retained on network locked versions, so you can happily change soft key and theme branding easily. The 6120 we guess fills in the role of the 6233 but using the S60 OS and caters for the mid-range 3G market. If you are not interested 3G network capability then there are other GSM only models. The first thing we noticed was it's lack of weight. The next was the lovely screen which was similar if not the same as our benchmark 6233. Construction was solid and materials average. Slighter larger but thinner than most. What was underdone is the keypad. Don't expect it to feel upmarket and you'll be happy. Furthermore the arrangement of the primary navigation buttons was poorly thought out. The left or right soft keys was often pressed instead of the Menu or cancel buttons. Sound is a via a mono speaker that actually sounded OK and quite loud. What impressed us was the number of applications that where included with the phone. It runs Nokia's S60 operating system and comes with all the usual software. Quickoffice Word and Excel viewers, GPS, ZIP, voice readers etc... we expected less because it wasn't an E of N series phone so surprised. That said you'll need an external GPS unit for the software to work. The 6120 is feature packed and there's plenty to play with. With an external SDcard slot you'll be playing for quite awhile until you run out of space. Call and network reception is the normal Nokia - as in very good. Performance wise the 6120 was impressive. Fast and stable - so far. No issues to speak of at this point. We liked the 6120 in the end and so will you if you can live with it's looks.

  • Game Review – Leisure Suit Larry Love For Sail

    230x5_spacer
    Leisure Suit Larry Love For Sale
    NAME: Leisure Suit Larry Love for Sail
    VERSION: 0.6.4
    COMPANY: Vivendi Games
    PLATFORM: JAVA
    GENRE: Graphic Adventure
    SIZE: 554 KB
    TEST PHONE: K800i
    RATING: 7/10
    Demo: Larry-mobile.com

    The Leisure Suit Larry series of games have been around for about 20 years! and this is the first known mobile phone version! You play Larry who is basically a stereotypical geek from the 80’s as he basically tries to find a lady and love of his life.

    The Leisure suit is basically a Safari suit from the 70’s and was a ‘fashionable’ piece of clothing all those years ago. Watch an old James Bond movie to see it for real. Yes, 30 years ago a Safari suit and Flares where the height of fashion!

    So how is the game? Leisure Suit Larry – Love For Sail (JAVA) for the mobile phone promised so much at least in title since it harked back to the genuinely witty and non-politically correct age of the 80’s. It’s relaunch in the 00’s is hence going to be interesting since it is without its original creators and in a totally different world. It’s also very different from the PC version of the game.

    Graphic wise this game is state of the art 2D. It honestly looks great. Realistic graphics on a mobile phone game is NOT a pre-requisite to success but playability is. We can’t understand why everyone is so focused on 3D or real life graphics when they haven’t got the gameplay down pat. Larry is thankfully not presented in fake 3D but is comic style 2D like the original series. Some of the non-layer characters you meet resemble real life celebrities and movie stars, The Hoff, Tom Cruise, Pamela Anderson, Paris Hilton are just a few parodies to watch out for.  Their alternative names are quite funny – for most.

    Gameplay is simple enough but takes some time to get used to than most. Combining actions is the trickiest since it takes quite a few steps to manipulate objects. Trial and error with the not consequence (unless successful) was one of the fun parts in the original series and thankfully its been retained.

    In game music in the original PC versions where a very important part in revealing the tone and mood of the game. It hasn’t been translated well to the mobile version.  There are only about 3 versions of the theme.

    The adventure or story line its self is classic Larry although cut back for the mobile phone.    The witty one liners, a standard Leisure Suit Larry feature does not always work due mainly to political correctness and target audience of the game.  The games lasts for at least 2 hours on first play.

    Overall its a good game but not a classic – something is missing.  Try Stranded by Glu if you want a game that scores top marks with us.

  • Game Review – Stars Wars Battle Above Coruscant

    Stars Wars Battle Above Coruscant
    NAME: Star Wars Battle Above Coruscant
    VERSION: 1.3.5
    COMPANY: THQ Wireless
    PLATFORM: JAVA
    GENRE: Space Shooter
    SIZE: 316 KB
    TEST PHONE: K800i
    RATING: 7/10

    There’s a war going on – Star Wars that is! There have been quite a few game releases based on the famous movie series in the last 12 months, sometimes we think there’s going to be a new movie out with all these releases! Regardless we decided to do a review of the Battle Above Coruscant for the mobile.

    The Battle Above Coruscant is a space shooter game where you play Anakin Skywalker before he turns into Darth Vader. You take control of his Jedi fighter and R2-D2 of course in shooting down droid fighters as he goes to the rescue of the Supreme Chancellor AKA the Emperor in disguise!

    As far a games reviews go we are rarely surprised by the in game graphics. After all most mobile phones still don’t have the power for true 3D graphics or have the memory to make something truly stand out. However when we ran this game we where almost impressed by the quality of the graphics. Although presented in 2D we loved the independent background environment that was going on – it’s just like the movie. That said your Jedi star fighter sprite could be made a little better. Anyway it proves that 2D graphics still work in the latest games.

    The game features different powerups which you collect for the normal thing like weapons and health. Unfortunately you lose all of them and  have to start at the beginning of each level should you get shot down.

    The game’s music theme is the usual MIDI based Star Wars Theme however we expected better due to the graphic design.

    As for the the game controls, they are the only thing that lets the side down. It has auto-fire which you clearly need on a mobile phone platform but there is something else missing. Maybe the game’s AI is to hard or the keyboard on the K800i is not responsive enough? We found it difficult to avoid getting hit. We looked long and hard and conclude that it’s the small and other times over large size of some of the icons, specifically the missiles and certain laser fire that make this game harder than it should be. Playing the game requires a higher degree of concentration than many others. This makes it difficult to play on the move or casually Ie. on the train.

    We want a to be able to finish the game at the basic level – at least without too much thinking. This is a mobile phone game not a console!

    That said, the game is divided into 6 levels: Fighters, Missiles, Battleship, Cruiser, Obi-Wan and Shields. The hardest level in the Cruiser Level purely due to the number of small objects coming at you. Requires concentration that should never be made on a mobile phone game.

    Anyway, in the end we loved the graphics and the concept but it needs to be made easier for beginners, after all the game already has a selectable difficulty – the Jedi level for the die-hards.

  • Game Review – Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back

    TEST PHONE: Sony Ericsson k800i
    RATING: 6/10

    We liked the last LEGO Star Wars game. So when this non LEGO version was announced we quickly got one to review. The developer of this game was different from the LEGO based versions and it shows.

    Each of the key scenes from the movie are replicated with you controlling the lead characters at the time, guiding them through the adventure. So you can relive the Hoth battle, Dagobah, the Asteriod field and Bespin locations. So there’s no need to elaborate on what tasks you need to perform.

    The graphics are good and the sound mobile phone standard. (It uses pesudo 3D top down perspective for most of the game play.) But it doesn’t help the game play.

    Of there is one definite criticism with the game it is the game controls. Sure the controls are logical and easy to master but unless you have a joystick based phone you will find it difficult to play. Needless to say if your phone has small keys even worse.

    To conclude the game is not as entertaining as the LEGO based versions. Yes there are lightsaber duels. However it’s missing something…

  • Game Review – Retro Game Pack

    Retro Pack Retropack
    NAME: Arcade Retro Pack
    VERSION: 1.58
    COMPANY: Advanced Mobile Solutions
    PLATFORM: JAVA
    GENRE: Retro
    SIZE: 197 KB
    TEST PHONE: Sony Ericsson K800i
    RATING: 5/10

    Welcome to the Arcade Retro Pack game review. This pack consists 3 different games for you to pass the time.  The game in this pack are not the originals but clones.

    They consist of Alien Scum – a Space Invaders clone, Ball Breaker – Brick Out clone and Cave Raider – a Cave raider clone.

    As far as graphics are concerned its all very basic but better than the originals.  The sounds are based on the original but have a nice retro theme to them.  This is one game that actually has incidental sound effects, probably because there isn’t a theme song.

    The game play is classic so it’s easy to learn however the game controls are likewise simple.  However the way the games play are very basic or crude so playability is not the best.  Gravity based games need finesse guys!  Overall AI and collision detection is not very good.  Seems like its missing frames.

    The best one is Ball Breaker as it has some nice bonuses, like extra balls!  Try bouncing 4 at once rather than just the one.  This game saves the pack from a failing grade.  Doesn’t help promote mobile phone games that’s for sure.

    The original games are classics – however this set of clones is not.

  • Game Review – No Limit Casino 12 Pack

    No Limit Casino 12 Pack screen shot 2
    NAME: No-Limit Casino 12 Pack
    VERSION: 1.0.16
    COMPANY: Gamesloft developed by Sumea
    PLATFORM: JAVA
    GENRE: Casino games
    SIZE: 880 KB
    TEST PHONE: K800i
    RATING: 9/10

    This game is essentially a Casino on your mobile phone. All the popular games are there: Poker machines, card poker, Roulette,Black Jack. However all presented as challenges such as winning 10 jackpot machince games or getting black jack 10 time and so forth. Despite all that you can still play individual games if you wish and ignore the challenges.

    Added twists to increase longevity include a 7 level player ranking system, from Beginner to Master then ??. Needless to say we haven’t found out what the ?? level is yet. It’s not too difficult it just takes time.

    That said you need to increase your player ranking to make the game harder. We think only the die hards will attempt to unlock all the levels. We are quite happy with the beginner level – purely for the increased chances of winning. There are also nice cash bonuses when you complete the various challenges.

    It even has a few card based trivia games. Very useful if you want to learn the lingo and when to lose in Black Jack! For example whether you should buy insurance when the dealer has an Ace? Or Does a natural black jack have an Ace?

    Game controls are reasonably ease to learn just the direction keys and center button. Naturally with Roulette there’s a few extra steps but worth while learning. Just be careful with how much money you have. Music is unique to the game but sound effects are standard Digital Chocolate or Sumea including a few from their other games so it’s not bad.

    Graphics are up to date with sparkles and a moving card waterfall background are nice touches. The Roulette table we feel is very nicely done.

    The ‘No Limit’ tag is not exactly true since there are limits to how much virtual dollars you can bet on a single game – it’s more to do with the ‘No Limit’ series!

    Overall a great little casino game. One that you can pick up and put down easily anywhere you are. Is it a must have game or classic – not sure BUT it is one of the best Casino games out there.

  • Sony Ericsson K800i Review

    Sony Ericsson K800i

    The K800i has been around for a while so here’s what are the worst and best bits of this model.

    The K800i was Sony Ericsson’s halo model when it arrive in early 2006 about the same time as Nokia released the 6233. Although the price difference was some $300 these 2 models are clearly direct competitors. This phone was heavily promoted because it was the first with a fully featured 3.2MP camera and that it claimed top spec functionality.

    We believe that it was this handset that finally make people take notice of the brand when it was featured in the James Bond movie – Casino Royale. Before that Sony Ericsson was just another mobile phone maker. Certainly if you chart the released by SE prior to the k800i you’ll probably agree. Pity that SE didn’t take advantage of the momentum and they have fallen behind in technology stake compared to the market leader Nokia.

    Construction wise it’s made very well, panels aligning well. Unfortunately it has a joystick navigation instead of buttons which meant it didn’t well in heavy use and prone to damage. The camera cover on the back, although sturdy made it an awkward phone to hold. The keypad is on the small side due to the large frame around the screen. It is not helped by the need to press keys quite hard. The camera cover on the back is really high quality stuff but makes it hard to hold the phone.

    Other ergonomic issues include the number and location of button along the side and even top of the phone. If you don’t believe us try using it as an alarm clock. Which brings up another issue. It’s flight mode is crippling – you’d expect the alarm clock to work regardless of mode – it doesn’t!

    The phone’s operating system speed is excellent. Very fast to navigate to and activate its various functions. (Not taking the time it takes for the animated icons to complete their show into account – If we did it wouldn’t be as fast.) It’s key feature of the top spec digital camera was one of the best at the time, it does basically everything a normal but average digital camera can do. Pictures the camera produced were good but still not equivalent of a proper digital camera however excellent for a mobile phone. Speed of capture is also good when auto focus is turned off.

    Other surprises include the slowness of internet downloads. It took more time to load pages than all other 3G capable phones we tested. The fastest 3G phone are the LG models with or without HSDPA. We think its problem with the cache settings.

    As for network reception, the transceiver is on par with all other phones we’ve had to test except for the basic models naturally. In our fringe coverage area it pulls in a 3G signal most of the time. Call quality is very good too.

    In terms of customization Sony Ericsson still has to play catch up with Nokia. The majority want to customise all the buttons and their functions – the K800i simply doesn’t do it. For example SWF or flash wallpapers will not work on the phone. It only has one feature that we could call class leading, that being the ability to turn on or off Bluetooth via the selection of a profile.

    Sure you can find lots of themes for it over the Internet but it doesn’t solve the inability to change the button functionality. Speaking of which, like most Sony Ericsson modesl it comes with lots of software to play with including games and music ‘DJ’ software.

    Battery life on a 3G network is a little disappointing. With little use only 3 days, with heavy use, during game testing 2-3 hours. Mind you back at it’s release in 2006 it was quite acceptable.

    Conclusion

    Now that the K800i is the ‘standard’ phone for most operators it becomes a bench mark we use around here too! However it lacks customization features of other phones, it’s speaker is average and distorts at high volume. Ergonomics are questionable but speed is excellent. Also propriety connectors are old school.  Get over it SE and give us new micro USB standard. Otherwise it is a lovely phone.

    End Notes

    It’s hard not to compare the K800i with the Nokia 6233 because they are very similar in size and functionality. Although cheaper the 6233 has everything the K800i has, except for the forward facing camera and a 3.2 MP main camera. That said the K800i does look physically better than the 6233! The Sony Ericsson SMS system is actually better than the Nokia because of the on-screen notification system.

    If you can live without a mega pixel camera the Nokia 6233 betters the K800i by being the best sounding, stereo speaker mobile phone to date and virtually complete customization features. It also has less creaking panels.

  • Game Review – AMA Perfect Body Diet Starring Mya

    PLATFORM: JAVA
    GENRE: Self Help
    SIZE: 574 KB
    TEST PHONE: Sony Ericsson k800i
    RATING: 5/10

    This is the sort of a self help or personal development game. It’s hard to classify since we’ve never tried anything like this before. Essentially you enter you physical details in and answer a series of questions and Mya the model will sort you out with various health recommendations.

    Mya acts as you host throughout the program telling you lots of stuff in big blue talk bubbles. She is probably more attractive in real life than on your small phone screen.

    There is nothing new about dieting or health that we haven’t heard before. But if you under 16 you may not have heard any of it. Mind you we think watching a TV series like ‘The Biggest Loser’ will teach you much more.

    The games is targeted at ladies or girls since the graphics used to describe yourself are all female based! That said there is clearly a problem with the questions the game asks you – they are from a male prospective! The stress on using chocolate as a humorous line is frequent and disturbing. Our partners who tried the program thought it was quite silly overall and dismissed it as purely a game. There are a few serious errors too – like claiming sunless tanning is safe but not saying what type.

    It’s missing a lot of health info like fat and nutritional content and showing only calorie values.  Implying that after 2 weeks you could look like her confirms that there is something quite wrong about the whole thing.

    What we frown upon is the use of the AMA acronym. You see we thought that it was supported by the real AMA namely the American Medical Association or Australian Medical Association because it is promoting a a diet and health program. I’m quite sure the the lawyers will have something to say about that.

    Nevertheless there are a few good things about the game namely showing you some simple exercises that you can do to burning so calories.  Also it is the first of this gaming genre we’ve seen.

    The controls are simple and the graphics are quite good but there are better. Other than that it not bad ‘game’ just remember don’t take it seriously. Maybe you could use it as a motivation tool?
