Premature Blackberry Aristo Review

A close look at Blackberry Aristo and iPhone 5 spec, one would conclude that RIM is trying to imitate iPhone 5 while also wanting to improve on some of its features.

Firstly, the adoption of a non-removable battery which is the standard in Apple smart devices seems unnecessary and disappointing to say the least as most Blackberry devices hangs and/or lock-up quite often and removing the battery is a quick wayout which is a norm among its users.

Also packing this smartphone with features upon features isn't so much of a good move. DLNA Support, microHDMI out, Gyroscope, Accelerometer, Magnetometer, Altimeter, Wi-Fi direct, NFC, hot swappable microSD slot, 4 microphones, face detection, etc...powered by a 2800mAh battery. I mean what are they trying to makeup for or distract users from?

Aristo's hardware maybe mindblowing but it's dead on arrival(DOA) if the OS aint ...

iPhone 5 Excitement

Following Apple's official annoucement of the iPhone 5, the internet and smartphone market has been dominated by talks of the iPhone 5. Most people are of the opinion that the iPhone 5 isn't much of a game changer as it still has the same old iPhone look that's getting boring despite the change in screen size and also the fact that the iPhone has no news worthy feature. Verdict: Not buzz worthy iPhone 5 is slated to be released September 21st.

Featured Add-on: Adblock

Adblock is a content filtering add-on that enables a browser to block or eliminate ads(short for advertisement) on webpages which makes browsing sometimes annoying or less interesting. Ads causes distraction and other times slows down the loading of webpages as unwanted images and other contents ~still talking about ads~ are usually downloaded along with requested webpages. The downside of adblock is that it sometimes blocks innocent webpages but this happens on rare occasions. So if you are having problems with a particular webpage loading, you might want to temporarily disable it. Adblock can be installed as add-on any of the following browsers (listed in order of personal favourite); chrome, firefox, opera, safari and lastly ~ the browser used to download every other browser ~ internet explorer.

Introducing Nokia Asha 205

Thinking of buying a phone on a budget that also ensures your social online presence? The Nokia Asha 205 might just be what you really need. This QWERTY keyboard phone's design may not really be all that, but what's one to expect from a phone intentionally made affordable? A great bargain in my opinion as it wouldn't cost more than N1,000 to purchase this dual sim phone armed with features such as a dedicated Facebook button, threaded view sms ~Blackberry feel~, FM recording, in addition to being deeply socially integrated. It comes with a selection of popular social networking apps: Facebook, Twitter, eBuddy messenger, even Whatsapp(single SIM version). Definitely a phone to watch out for from Nokia.
