Vince tech updates

Just yesterday, June 3 2007, I sold my Nokia 9300i and bought a Motorola V3i. You might wonder why i downgraded. Aside from the reason that i change mobile phone once a month, sometimes a week, my Nokia 9300i was just my second phone(secondary sim). thats why i can change often. My m600i and v3i now will alternate as my second phone, im going to sell my m600i maybe this week. my primary phone is a Sony Ericsson p910i. this is one of the best phones i had so i couldnt change it. i mentioned earlier that i change mobile phone once a month, sometimes, just a weeks time, but my Sony ericsson p910i, has been with me for already 2 years. if you know what applications to put, its really very hard to dispose of. You might wonder why i didnt get the P990i for the upgrade of my p910i. just read the reviews i wrote about the P990i on my past blogs. i actually owned one and decided to upgrade but, my p910i is better. Anyway, for the Motorola V3i specs and reviews.

What I like about the Motorola V3i Razr-------------------------------------------

1. Smaller than my Nokia 9300i.
2. It has itunes. i sold my ipod mini eons ago because i didnt like lugging too many gadgets around at the same time.
3. I got the quartz silver. (same color as the dark grey of Toyota Fortuner, and thats why i love it.)
4. Cool fashionable design.
5. The M (Motorola logo) on the external LCD lights up. ( more like the apple logo at the back of the apple notebook lights up. )
* those small lights had been my deciding factor thats why i buy the phones. ( i bought the p910i last 2 years ago because there is a signal status and bluetooth status light indicator at the right and left, respectively. I liked the lights because im a previous owner of a Sony Ericsson T68i. Next blog, il list all the phones i have owned and you can comment and choose, which one of those you want me to write about.

What I dont like

1. Since i have just been already using the v3i for 18 hours or so, nothing much yet i dont like. maybe the keypads need getting used to because its flat and spread out.

---- End ----

I will add v3i reviews if i found out cool/ uncool stuffs while using this phone.

Just last saturday, i bought a new phone to change my old p910i. I bought a new Nokia 9300i. I will make my own review of it. I did not research before buying because this is the only phone i wanted until now and im not regreting it.

Phone Design:

- Very elegant dark colored communicator. Makes you feel like a real businessman in case you are not one.

- Small and compact compared to the Nokia 9500. Width of the P910i is more wider so this is better for me.

- Very user friendly keypad / qwerty keyboard design

Phone Features ( for more detailed features, check it out at www.yehey.com/gadgets )

- User friendly "enough" If you are used to using communicators like me (e.g. Nokia 9210, 9210i, 9300, and 9500),  this is basically the same. Ive owned all communicators except the oldest one, the Nokia 9110.

- If you know what 3rd party applications to install, everything is just one touch. (e.g. when i will sms my dad, i will just press "chr+d", it will automatically create an empty sms message containing my dads number so all you have to do is type away your message and just send.

- Clear Lcd, good colors

- Loud enough earpiece/ speakers

- Not slow compared to P990i of Sony Ericsson

Whats not...?

- Slow webpage opening. i use my phones for browsing also you know. but what do you expect? this is not a laptop.

- No camera

- Quite larger than normal mobile phones but small enough in terms of communicators/pda phones.

Overall...

- A good switch from my previous phone, P910i. worth it at the side of low 5 digits.

Questions? feel free to post.

Tomorrow, i will write about my new M600i
