  • Telstra/ZTE T6 Review

    Welcome to the Telstra/ZTE T6 mobile phone review.  For 2009 the complete range of phones from Telstra and ZTE has been refreshed.  The old models are still available but in run out sales mode.  If you've checked out the other ZTE reviews you realize that they are decent phones just a tad basic.  However for the price you can't really complain. From the pricing the T6 is a replacement for the F153 and F158.  They've made it longer but thinner and lighter.  It's construction is solid and certainly comparable to other models in the basic phone category. Of note the micro SD card slot has been moved to a slot under the battery.  No big deal since you can't do very many things with the phone anyway. In terms of functionality they've added a variety of new features.  The most obvious is a FM radio and what we think is a slightly better camera.  They've apparently added a faster CPU and it does seem faster to navigate the menus than phones with the older CPU.  Essentially they have updated the specifications to match the offerings from other brands specifically Nokia in the basic phone category. Unfortunately it is now only a dual band GSM, dropping the 1900Mhz frequency.  Which means there is no point unlocking it.  However it is still a 3G or NextG capable phone so you can access reasonably fast data downloads. The battery life of the T6 (like the others) is very good. On standby essentially 7 days. The only let down was the screen.  Same 176x200 pixel as it's predecessors.  The predictive text is still not very good. Additional MicroSD cards are not included in the sales packages. The main selling feature of the T6 in comparison to all others, specifically the cheaper Samsung A411 is that it is one of the cheapest 3G or NextG capable phone with a FM radio.  It's also HSDPA 3.6 compatible so you can use it as a reasonably fast wireless modem.  However the plans for internet are still very high. (The on board web browser is next to useless for general internet browsing.) Conclusion We can't say very much more about it  - after all is is a very basic phone.  All up the Telstra/ZTE T6 is a good mobile phone.  It's better than the prior F153 and F156 with the radio and additional apps.  Don't judge the phone by the internet pictures see it for your self - its very different.

  • Telstra/ZTE T165i Review

    hyp4mhz
    Welcome to the Telstra/ZTE T165i  mobile phone review. This model is essentially a T7 model in a more rugged shell - without the folding design. We where initially impressed with this phone for a number of reasons.  The construction quality was excellent and the materials and feel was better than most ZTE models we've had.  Also for once the pictures do look like the actual physical model.  The case for example is rubberised and screen is glossy. There are few mobile phones made for outdoor activities these days and we are happy to report that this one actually was really quite good.  It's not weather proof (Telstra does not seem to claim it to be either) to the extent of the Nokia 5140 and the T165i does not appear to have exchangeable covers either.  So dropping it shouldn't cause too much damage as long as it's got a decent cover on the screen.  What's the point then - we don't know? Regardless the phone feels good to hold. I expected more functionality to be included with the T165i - afterall the benchmark (and very old) Nokia 5140 had many features all rugged type phone should have.  Features like flash light, thermometer, and SPL.  Sure the T165i has A-GPS - is a fantastic addition, the lack of navigation software is disappointing. Although a dedicated 3G or NextG phone it also has all the GSM frequencies.  The 3G capabilities allow the phone far more functionality than you'd expect but at a cost - literally.  You need a decent data plan! The screen was surprisingly good - its a QVGA model, so nice refined graphics.  As for readability in sunlight - well it is OK better than normal phones but no where near super bright.  The screen is set into the screen deeper than most due to the over sized case. The T165i packs almost all the industry standard hardware like a QVGA ot 240x320 pixel screen,  and A-GPS receiver is now included as part of the phone.   Unfortunately no navigation software but then you can always use Google Maps.  However you'll need a decent Internet data plan... The external antenna pod is there for a reason so you get excellent network reception without an external antenna.  Also like most Telstra branded phones there's an external antenna socket which does wonders when traveling to isolated regions.  It also has an FM radio which is handy but not AM which in isolated regions the only form of radio available.  Most younger users probably don't even know what AM radio is... A new 3 megapixel camera is also included but we haven't tried it yet so can't tell whether its any good. It's got lots of functionality through various applications that are standard fare on most mid range range phones but being a NextG like all 3G linked phones is functionality offered through the network's internet homepage.  Customization functionality is limited to light levels and wallpaper.  Yes it plays music and MP3 ringtones. The T165i is also Tri-band UTMS and Quad-band GSM, one of the few mobile phone with the complete set of modern frequencies so you should be able to use it around the world.  Interestingly its got a ton of modem capabilities, most interesting is the Bluetooth and Dail-up networking profiles.  It would seem like a inexpensive wireless modem - with the right data plan. Conclusion All up the Telstra/ZTE T165i is another typically good mobile phone but it is in a niche market.  Afterall it's not a truly rugged phone outdoor phone more semi-outdoor.  It is also quite expensive for a mobile phone unless you can get it on a decent plan.  More disappointing is that there wasn't any MicroSD card included considering the price.

  • Game Review – Snoopy The Flying Ace

    230x5_spacer
    Snoopy The Flying Ace
    NAME: Snoopy The Flying Ace
    VERSION: 0.6.1
    COMPANY: Namco Network
    PLATFORM: JAVA
    GENRE: Action/Cartoon series
    SIZE: 272 KB
    TEST PHONE: Nokia 6500
    RATING: 7/10
    DEMO:

    Welcome to the Snoopy The Flying Ace game review (JAVA Version).

    It’s taken awhile for anyone to release a game based on the dog  from the popular Peanuts cartoon series created by Charles M Shulz.

    The story of the game is for you to play as Snoopy to collect balloons in order to raise his friend Woodstock’s, the yellow bird’s nest from the ground.

    The games graphics are replicated from the hand drawn cartoon they are essentially  replications of the cartoon strip which are perfectly suitable.  Fans of the cartoon will be very happy indeed.

    The game’s sounds are typical MIDI based and acceptable.

    Snoopy’s playability is very good since it requires only one button!  You could compare it to the Johnny Crash series in this regard but Snoopy is a little more technical.  As you progress through the levels it does get quite tricky.

    You control Snoopy as he flies on his kennel though the air collecting balloons.  There are various obstacles like storm clouds and the Red Baron to avoid and powerups like Root beer to collect.  You even get to run over Charlie Brown and his friends for extra points.

    Overall easy enough tasks to perfrom made more interesting by that addition of new obstacles with each new level.  Eg. Barn Storming

    The game is targetted at a younger audience since is a lot of help on screen including a mini map at the top!  Nonetheless still challenging.

    Conclusion: It is great little game that’s easy to play. It does not have the immediate addictiveness of  the Johnny Crash series but overall interesting enough for casual player and fans of the cartoon.

  • Game Review – Star Wars The Force Unleashed

    230x5_spacer
    Star Wars The Force Unleashed

    NAME: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
    VERSION: 1.0.8
    COMPANY: THQ & Universomo
    PLATFORM: JAVA
    GENRE: Action/Movie
    SIZE: 512 KB
    TEST PHONE: Nokia 6500
    RATING: 7/10
    DEMO:


    Welcome to our Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Mobile game (Java version) review.

    The game is a massive 512KB in size so we where expecting big things from this game!  Mind you 512kb on a PC is tiny but as cell phone games go 1/2 a meg should mean that it will be a reasonable game.

    The Force Unleashed is clearly a Star Wars game released in conjunction with the Xbox, Wii, PS2 and even DS versions.  The mobile version is quite different from the others for obvious reasons. However the premise is essentially the same.

    The story line set between Episode 3 – Revenge of the Sith and Episode 4 – A New Hope is relatively simple you play as the Darth Vader’s secret apprentice who under various orders goes about the galaxy wiping out any remaining Jedi Knights.  Throughout the game you get various cut scenes and dialogue that progress the story and of course the game difficulty.

    The quality of graphics in the game are quite good for a 2D game. The action sprites and backgrounds work very well and in keeping with most of the other Star Wars games made in 2D. Characters from the original series and some from the pre-queal series also make an appearance.  Including Liea and Wookies.

    The quality of the sound is likewise good using higher quality MIDI and instruments.  The soundtrack is typical Star Wars which is perfectly acceptable.

    In terms of playability Universomo have developed a new system of controlling the action.  So you don’t directly control the actual movement of the character rather you key in combinations (called Weaving) that appear on enemies the screen. Your character then attacks the character for the sequence you keyed in.  As a method it works very well!

    However there is a problem and that is to do with the large amount of variance in the keypads on your mobile phone these days.  So if you have a Sony Ericsson K800i or a Nokia 6500 the keypads are quite stiff so you’ll have a hard time keying in the sequences fast enough and without error. If you have a small phone even worse because it can’t really be played one handed.  The method would probably work better on a touch screen.

    Each level is paced for 2-3 minutes if you do the right tasks which makes it playable on a bus or train.  However the two handed controls, required for speed.  Getting used to the control system takes a little while but once learned its quite repetitive and easy enough.  However that still does nto solve the keypad problem.

    Each level also reveals a new force power for you to use and various powerups available in the game.  Again you need to type the correct pattern to use it.  There is a free play mode along with 3 hardness levels AND unlimited lives which makes up for the novel control system.

    Conclusion: It is a pure light saber/force game but the pressing so many buttons distracts you from actually watching the game rather  – you are looking at the keypad to find the right shape to make.  It is a game for the fans of the movies or those who want a bit of a physical challenge or one with a cell phone that has a soft touch keypad.  So overall a decent game that takes more time than usual to get used to but ultimately enjoyable.

  • Telstra/ZTE F852 Review

    Welcome to the Telstra/ZTE F852  mobile phone review.   This model is essentially a replacement for the F256 but in a higher quality clam shell and better screen. We only had this phone a a little while before choosing the other models because the OS is virtually the same as the F256 with graphical improvements.  We wanted something different. Speaking of which the main internal screen is much better due to the upgrade to 240 x 320 pixel or QVGA resolution although the external display remains the same. The main feature missing is a FM radio which is an important selling point these days since the iPod still doesn't have one. The main feature is that it has access to the NextG or 3G network and web based functionality that entails.  However you will need a decent web access plan to make use of it. Conclusion All up the Telstra/ZTE F852 is another typically good mobile phone. It's easy to use and looks reasonably good. Targeted in the mid range sales category it works really well just like it's predecessors if you can live without a FM radio. Specifications

  • Samsung SGH-A411 SGH-A412 Review

    Welcome to the review of the Samsung A411 and A412 mobile phone. We’ve had other Samsung mobiles before but there was nothing really worth writing up. However since we now use one might as well do a quick review.

    The A411 and A412 are rare phones because they are designed for poorer markets and for the 850Mhz 3G networks. This frequency is still not very common 2008. Being 3G it also has HSDPA so capable of high download speeds. It is also a tri-band GSM phone so allows for virtually complete roaming capabilities.  However since it does not have the 3G at the 2100Mhz frequency global mobile internet is possible.

    The A412 is positioned as a basic 3G mobile so you don’t get many surprising features but still get a few goodies. One of which is Bluetooth connectivity.

    Samsung phones are very noisy! Yep Samsung mobiles differentiate themselves from the rest by being able to selectable key tones and bright graphics and keypad light control. They are useful and also amusing features. You may get tired of them…

    The phones works very well, it is speedy BUT due to the animated effects feels sluggish. The interface is very good, it would do better on a higher resolution screen though.

    The main functions of Contacts features basic features so no addresses but you can store emails addresses, Calendar functionality include anniversary and repeating events and a few others. There is even a notes application.

    Physically it has the usual soft touch-ish plasticky feel but not as bad as the ZTE, it’s logical competitors. The keypad and other keys actually look good but are cheap in feel but at least they are large and work well. Infinitely better than say the ZTE models.

    Call quality and network reception is very good they definitely haven’t added new towers in our area so it’s definitely one of the better cheap mobile phones.

    The internal screen is nice and large but low resolution and relative small 65,000 colour range. Mind you other mobiles in the price range have similar specs. The external screen is handy but because it goes complete black you can’t see what is being displayed unless the back light is on. The external screen is only black and white too. A bonus feature is an old style roman clock you can select as the display!

    Camera quality is very average so don’t bother getting it for the camera.

    Flaws include a C key which is directly under the down navigation button and too easy to press by accident  the lack of AM/FM radio and propriety connector for headphones and charging. With everyone moving to the standard micro USB and standard headphone socket this will need to be rectified.

    In the end it’s a good basic 3G capable phone in a clam shell design. It does voice calls and SMS well. Definitely a good start if you can’t afford any better.

    (When comparing it to the ZTE 256 vs ZTE 156 the Samsung wins because it has quite a few more features for the same price.)

  • Nokia E71 Review

    Welcome to our review of the Nokia E71. (First time we've managed to post a review relatively quickly.) The E71 is the replacement for the relatively popular E61i release about 12 months ago. It's the only Qwerty keyboard based mobile phone made by the company. Like it's predecessors the E71 is an amalgamation of all Nokia has learnt to date since the introduction of the original E61. First impressions are excellent. The E71 looks fantastic! Construction wise, it uses real metal but this time thinner than the past models to save weight. Smoked stainless steel and high quality plastics where necessary really add to the impression of expense and class. It's also very thin. It's seems more just 1 generation away from the slate like predecessors. We liken the new model as the RAZR of the QWERTY keyboard phones, except that the quality of the Nokia is noticeably superior. No creaky panels or detail that would fade. The keys have a nice quality feel when you press them. Pictures do not do this phone justice. Nokia has packed so much technology in such a small size in the E71. It features every single wireless and wired connection option you could want: Wi-Fi, Infrared, bluetooth, USB, GSM and 3G. Yes it has Infrared! So we can still exchange contacts with older phones or use it as a modem and even Sync with other computers without all that mucking around with bluetooth pairing and USB drivers. We can still run our handy universal TV/Video/Stereo remote controllers. Infrared rules. Other features (entertainment) include and crisp 320x240 pixel screen, dual cameras/video, autofocus, flash, barcode reader, 2.5mm headphone socket for the FM (RDS) radio and internet radio, VOIP, voice recorder, MP3 and MP4 player and the list goes on. Fantastic considering that this is not a dedicated multi-media phone! Since this is an E series phone there are a ton of work applications that are pre-loaded. Word, Excel, Powerpoint editors, dictionary, Notes, ZIP, PDF, wireless printer connectivity, clocks, calendar, unit convertors, VPN and of course Internet. The most amazing feature is the built in GPS. Nokia's Maps software has been updated to the point that I think it is better than Google Maps for your mobile. You can download the maps for free but it doesn't tell you the directions. You have to subscribe for voice and trip guidence - fair enough. Google maps requires constant 3G or wi-fi connection and you don't get locations like shops, hotel and so forth.  Nokia Maps has the lot like regular GPS systems! The A-GPS system used on the E71 is actually quite good.  It picks up the GPS satellites from turn on as quick as the TomTom One or quicker.  (Average of 10 secs)  Like the TomTom though if you have traveled a significant distance from the last time you used the GPS it takes a little more time to lock on.  That said you must make sure the A-GPS (uses the network towers but not data) is turned on otherwise it can take several miutes to get a proper fix on your location. The next amazing feature (for 2008) is the web browser. Nokia has updated it from the past versions and it worked on ALL websites we tried - to date. It even shows Flash content and Youtube on the same screen. The first mobile phone browser to do this! Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoomail and all news sites worked! The only problem we encountered where with WordPress BLOGS - the editing of text when scrolling is required is a hit and miss. This can be overcome by writing your entries in the notepad and cutting and pasting into the browser. Nokia's web browser is better than the one on the iPhone or iTouch -at least on this phone. The only short fall is that the E71's screen is smaller than previous models. (Update: After installing the latest phone software we discovered that the E71 can play FLV files from Youtube without additional software!  We knew the web browser could already do this but it brilliant that it can play them out of the browser as well.  Give it go - we really like this phone and you probably will too!) New and useful features worth a mention on the E71 include data encryption, Music store, Podcasting, Standard bar and QR code readers. Nokia's thrown in MS Messenger LIVE and Yahoo GO applications so you can IM all you want. The only thing missing from prior models is the emulated Blackberry compatibility. We where also surprised to find that Nokia has included a 2GIG memory card as part of the sales package! We also liked the remote auto lock feature so that if you lose your phone you can send it an SMS to lock it. You have to set this up and your passwords - so do it! You never know when you could lose your phone. As for operating speed, Nokia has clearly improved the S60 interface's speed, menu navigation is immediate, and running programs are noticeably faster than prior models. It only seems to pause when starting up JAVA based programs but this applies to all phones we've ever tried. Overall excellent. Conclusion: The E71 is a great phone! I dare say it's the best Nokia mobile phone out of the entire range - at least in July 2008. Fast, looks good with a ton of functionality. Sure menu navigation is old hat and getting crowded due to the huge amount of features but that applies to all E and N series Nokia's. If tossing up between the new N series phones have a long hard think because the E71 does 90% of what the N series in terms of entertainment but 110% of day to day functions. Nokia should be applauded as to how they managed to cram all the hardware and software into such a small mobile phone. If you want the most complete mobile phone to date in a elegant design then buy one no need for any decision making needed. If you've got a E61 or E61i it's a no brainer you will be impressed. Note: Nokia has included a few 'extras' in the packaging this time! We a custom hard/slip case, a 2.5mm headset with mic, micro USB connector and a wrist lanyard. The thing we most liked was the screen protector that didn't hide any of the screen's icons as per prior models. The case and screen protector are hard to purchase separately so don't lose them!

  • Optus Apple iPhone Con

    We’ve been conned.

    I went to the optus store to purchase a iPhone on their pre-paid plan only to be told it would not be available for another 2 weeks.

    False advertising.

    So if you want a new iphone don’t bother.

    Perhaps I was a little harsh but the whole situation is not exactly the best situation for Optus to be in. Essentially although Optus heavily promotes the iPhone available on Pre-paid plans the fact is that they don’t actually many available to buy. Yes – there are some but not many.

    Everyone knows that sales get commissions for selling phone on plans and little if none for pre-paid. I think that will change very soon!

    Clearly a marketing ploy but one that has back fired.

  • Nokia Web Browser 2007

    Nokia’s web browser for the N and E series of phones is the best! Why?

    Safari on the iTouch and iPhone are very good at displaying web content but they are not Flash capable. Furthermore they don’t allow data input for online applications, in particular BLOG based sites.

    Yes Safari for the iPhone is the best for browsing but that’s it.

    The Nokia S60 browser for 2007 is better than Safari. Nokia’s browser is great because it does a good job on displaying real web pages AND works with most online BLOG software. Most of all even, highly customised PHP and AJAX sites almost work perfectly,

    With Safari, while I can log into BLOGs editing of fields is never allowed.

    Yes, the Nokia web browser allows you to log in and edit WordPress BLOGs over a a wireless connection. In fact I used the browser via a 3G connection to edit various parts of this website! It works even better when you use Wi-Fi. (I use a Nokia E61i)

    Admittedly the display of the input fields can make editing a hit or miss on smaller screens, the fact that it allows you write and edit posts is a very good start. Hopefully the 2008 version will be even better.

    I understand Nokia’s 2008 Web browser that comes with the S60 3rd Edtion Feature Pack 1 & 2 mobile phones can even display Flash as per normal web browsers. (Confirmed with the latest review of the E71!)
