<p>Modern headphones are designed for optimum performance from your MP3 player or smartphone. They  are oriented towards the needs resulting MP3 playback and improved  audio performance over a pair of headphones would be traditional.</p>
<div id="attachment_1141" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-1141" href="http://www.nicomovil.com/headphones/improve-mp3-audio-performance-with-a-headphone-amp/attachment/headphone-amp-2/"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1141" title="headphone amp 2" src="http://www.nicomovil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/headphone-amp-2-300x199.jpg" alt="headphone amp 2 300x199 Improve MP3 Audio Performance With a Headphone Amp" width="300" height="199" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">headphone amp</p></div>
<p>To  get the best performance from a pair of headphones you want to choose a  set that output power less than a traditional hi-fi home would be  introduced. With the iPod reached near  ubiquity, the market for headphones MP3 has become a profitable niche  for many of the leading brands in the audio world.</p>
<div id="attachment_1142" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-1142" href="http://www.nicomovil.com/headphones/improve-mp3-audio-performance-with-a-headphone-amp/attachment/headphone-amp-3/"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1142" title="headphone amp 3" src="http://www.nicomovil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/headphone-amp-3-300x224.jpg" alt="headphone amp 3 300x224 Improve MP3 Audio Performance With a Headphone Amp" width="300" height="224" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">headphone amp</p></div>
<p>However,  one of the issues that customers may experience is that even if the  headphones are well designed and offer top-spec performance, integrated  amplifier, driving sound to the headphones is often poor.</p>
<div id="attachment_1143" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-1143" href="http://www.nicomovil.com/headphones/improve-mp3-audio-performance-with-a-headphone-amp/attachment/headphone-amp-4/"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1143" title="headphone amp 4" src="http://www.nicomovil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/headphone-amp-4-300x189.jpg" alt="headphone amp 4 300x189 Improve MP3 Audio Performance With a Headphone Amp" width="300" height="189" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">headphone amp</p></div>
<p>We&#8217;re  not too sure why this is the case, but may also be that MP3 player  manufacturers have deliberately under-specced their integrated  amplifiers in order to avoid legal action by those suffering from  hearing loss or inability over the &#8216; exposure to loud music in their headphones.</p>
<div id="attachment_1144" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 270px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-1144" href="http://www.nicomovil.com/headphones/improve-mp3-audio-performance-with-a-headphone-amp/attachment/headphone-amp-5/"><img class="size-full wp-image-1144" title="headphone amp 5" src="http://www.nicomovil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/headphone-amp-5.jpg" alt="headphone amp 5 Improve MP3 Audio Performance With a Headphone Amp" width="260" height="194" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">headphone amp</p></div>
<p>Fortunately,  this should not be too much of a problem as many experts have launched  headphone audio amplifiers which significantly increase the performance  of MP3 audio playback. Now, this is not simply a case of increasing the volume at which the tops MP3 player &#8230; In fact, users must be careful not to ramp the volume too high. Instead,  the provision of quality from the headphone amplifier is seen in  increased resonance and depth of bass performance, clarity in the treble  range and detail reproduction overall.</p>
<div id="attachment_1145" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 335px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-1145" href="http://www.nicomovil.com/headphones/improve-mp3-audio-performance-with-a-headphone-amp/attachment/headphone-amp-6/"><img class="size-full wp-image-1145" title="headphone amp 6" src="http://www.nicomovil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/headphone-amp-6.jpg" alt="headphone amp 6 Improve MP3 Audio Performance With a Headphone Amp" width="325" height="299" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">headphone amp</p></div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There  are also some headphone amplifiers that have been specifically designed  to improve the performance of specific machines mp3. Fiio  leading brand has recently launched an amplifier that is geared toward  the iPod and includes an integrated line of remote controls for  operating the iPod remotely.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><a href="http://www.nicomovil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Motorola-Droid-Pro.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-498" title="Motorola Droid Pro" src="http://www.nicomovil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Motorola-Droid-Pro-186x300.jpg" alt="Motorola Droid Pro 186x300 Motorola Droid Pro" width="186" height="300" /></a>BUILD &amp; DESIGN</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">While many current Android devices are thinly veiled attempts to  mimic the iPhone, the Droid Pro clearly has another target: the segment  of business users that are mostly addicted to the BlackBerry and it&#8217;s  constant email access.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I&#8217;m not a BlackBerry user myself, but I am a member of the  demographic that must have a keyboard, preferably in a one-piece design  like this. So I came into this review curious about the Droid Pro, both  because of it&#8217;s slightly unusual design, and because it seemed to have  the qualities I look for in a smartphone: a great spec sheet, simple  design, and &#8212; hopefully &#8212; a solid operating system.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Screen</strong><br />
A key difference between the Droid Pro and its  rivals is that while QWERTY-bar phones often include a relatively small   screen with a landscape orientation, the Pro has a larger  portrait-oriented screen. This makes it a little longer than it&#8217;s  relatives within the class, but considering everything that is packed  into this device, the Droid Pro is actually surprisingly compact.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Compared directly to my usual  phone, a Samsung Jack, the Droid Pro is about a third of an inch taller  &#8212; and that&#8217;s it. They&#8217;re the same width, and roughly the same  thickness, though the Droid Pro is actually a tiny bit thinner over most  of the casing, with a small bulge along the top rear. Even granted that  my Jack is cheaper and is a year old, I was pleasantly surprised by the  size.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Despite it&#8217;s compact footprint, it squeezes in a 3.1 inch, half-VGA  screen &#8212; not the largest or highest resolution on an Android-based  device, but roughly comparable to the first three generations of  iPhones.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Keyboard</strong><br />
Given the device&#8217;s size constraints, I had been  half expecting the keyboard to be cramped. So it was another pleasant  surprise that it was, in fact, every bit as usable as the better thumb  keyboards I&#8217;ve tried out.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Good key travel, key separation, and feel. The number keys are spread  out along the top row, instead of being placed in a conventional grid  formation. The good news, though is that this is made up for by a large  and very usable on-screen keypad available from the phone dialer  application. Or, you can just speak the number that you want to call &#8212;  but we&#8217;ll get to that later.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span id="more-497"></span>Other Buttons &amp; Controls</strong><br />
One of the ways the Droid Pro  saves space is by not having a directional pad or directional control of  any kind, which is a departure for most QWERTY-bar style phones. At  first, I didn&#8217;t think that I was going to be happy about that omission.  Now, after having gotten to use it a bit, I&#8217;m not nearly as put out as I  expected to be. Yes, there&#8217;s some situations where it would be nice to  have a physical directional control &#8212; particularly navigating cramped  web page elements, or relocating a cursor for text entry. But for the  most part I&#8217;ve gotten along quite well using touchscreen gestures for  scrolling and practicing accurate fingertip clicking.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">My biggest complaint about  the Droid Pro&#8217;s design lies in the four navigation buttons right above  the keyboard. Because they&#8217;re part of the screen, and therefore touch  sensitive, it&#8217;s fairly easy to accidentally &#8220;push&#8221; them if your finger  brushes the screen accidentally. Since the center two buttons &#8212; those  most likely to be hit accidentally &#8212; both take you back out of the  application you&#8217;re using, it can be very annoying to have to go back and  re-start what you were doing. Since you can&#8217;t vary the sensitivity of  these buttons &#8212; and they really do have a hair trigger &#8212; the only real  cure for this is time and practice, to get used to having them there  and not letting your fingers stray.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With the memory card tucked under the battery cover, the only open  ports are the Micro-USB plug on the lower left hand side, and the 3.5 mm  audio jack on top. It&#8217;s nice to have a standard audio plug again,  though I wouldn&#8217;t object to having all the plugs on the bottom, so that I  could have a nice car dock for the thing, but that&#8217;s rather a nitpick.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Overall, the build quality feels good, the design is sleek and very  usable, and it packs all it&#8217;s features into a very reasonable size and  weight.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>PERFORMANCE</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Even if you thought the physical design of the Motorola Droid Pro was a bit basic, you&#8217;ll love what&#8217;s under the hood. On paper, this  model has almost everything you could possibly want packed into a  business phone.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It starts with a hardware set designed for performance: a 1 GHz TI  OMAP 3620 processor and 512 MB of RAM, plus 1.5 GB of internal storage  for your data. There&#8217;s also a 2 GB microSD card included.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">All of this stacks up to mean  amazing performance. Full-screen transitions, sliding gestures, window  animations, even with plenty of stuff running in the background, it was  all as smooth as an oil slick behind a Zamboni. I&#8217;m certain that there&#8217;s  some situation or program which could slow this thing down, but I  couldn&#8217;t find it, even when running high end games or applications.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Wireless/Call Quality</strong><br />
Add to that high performance base the  standard wireless accessories: CDMA/EV-DO Rev. A for-voice and data on  Verizon in the U.S., GPS with network-assistance and geotagging, WiFi  b/g/n, and Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Then you start on the rarer components. A secondary cell phone  connection in the form of quad-band GSM/EDGE and tri-band HSPA adds  worldwide coverage: unlike most Verizon phones, you can take this phone  overseas and it will still work.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Mind you, if you intend to use Verizon&#8217;s overseas roaming service  you&#8217;re going to be charged by the limb, but that&#8217;s kind of to be  expected. You can, of course, get the GSM module unlocked, and then use  cheaper prepaid services around the world, at the expense of not having  your usual phone number.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It also features dual CDMA antennas for better than average signal  performance, giving me multiple bars in areas that are normally sketchy.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Productivity<br />
</strong>Despite the fact that I&#8217;ve been neck deep in  mobile technology for many years, the Droid Pro is actually my first  extended chance to use a device running Google&#8217;s Android OS. I was very  curious to see how it would turn out, since I hadn&#8217;t really developed a  firm impression or opinion of the Android platform from the brief look  and play opportunities I&#8217;d had.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">My first impressions were extremely positive. Granted one has to  attribute a lot of the software experience to having good quality  hardware behind it &#8212; the smooth-as-glass performance, the advanced  looks, and the robust storage all help to ease the learning curve. But  more important than the performance is the true software experience.  Complete interoperability between applications, down to the level of  being able to hand off a scanned barcode from one app to another from a  different, competing developer. Or the integration of OS-level security  into the mix to allow you the protection of guaranteed apps, as well as  the freedom to go beyond what Google gives you.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Speaking of apps, they&#8217;re the  centerpiece of the experience. The minute that I got into the Android  Marketplace, I think I fell in love. It is, to put it simply, the sort  of one-look-one-touch system for finding and installing applications  I&#8217;ve been looking for for years. Or put another way, the thing that  Microsoft never did for Windows Mobile, and should have. If it had, the  company might have been in the position Google is right now, instead  of having to jettison their entire former platform and start over.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The apps that come with the Droid Pro are basic but good &#8212; a  complete Office suite and PDF viewer, multiple-account email client with  support for a variety of platforms, navigation apps (both Google&#8217;s own  and Verizon&#8217;s VZ Navigator), along with the usual packing peanuts.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Unsurprisingly, the device&#8217;s email implementation is most friendly  toward GMail. Since I normally use Exchange Server synchronization on my  Samsung Jack, I attempted to set up the same, only to discover that  it&#8217;s a little more complicated. Not that I should be surprised, since  Exchange is a Microsoft platform, and here I am asking it to play nice  with Google. Eventually, I got it working with the help of the  instructions off the Motorola website, but the lesson is to plan for a  little more complexity when interfacing across platform brands.  Nevertheless, it does work out of the box, even before the wandering eye  is drawn to Google&#8217;s support framework.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Here&#8217;s what I did: I touched the button on the phone marked  &#8220;Marketplace.&#8221; About ten seconds later I was scrolling through a list of  hundreds of brilliant, absolutely free applications, all of which could  be downloaded and installed in the background with two button presses,  while I kept searching for more apps. It&#8217;s hard to overstate how easy to  use it is.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And these aren&#8217;t your run of the mill free calculators and miniature  pocket dictionaries. These are some amazingly powerful applications. One  of the first ones I downloaded was Google Translate &#8212; and if you&#8217;ve  never actually seen this app in action, it is hard to describe just how  impressive it is. Speak any phrase into it, and within seconds it can  read aloud a proper translation for the phrase in the language of your  choice. This ranges from &#8220;Where is the airport&#8221; to &#8220;Do you enjoy  anchovies on your pizza?&#8221; For that matter, it will tell you how to ask  about anchovies in Welsh or Yiddish.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Or let&#8217;s talk about Google Sky Map. This free app uses the device&#8217;s  internal gyrosensor to track where exactly you&#8217;re pointing the thing,  and act like a perfect window to display constellations through, and can  adjust the orientation automatically based on your GPS location.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Or ZXing Barcode Scanner, which can use the camera to automatically  read and look up both 2D and 3D barcodes, including the QR codes that  provide instant links to application downloads or websites. And it reads  them right off the computer screen.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">From Google-search-by-voice to recording DVD-resolution video; from  being able to solve complicated math questions almost as fast as you can  read them out loud to being able to signal in Morse code using the  camera&#8217;s LED flash, the standard software package is impressive, and the  available add-ons are even more so.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I also need to mention the voice command integration. The impressive  part about the Droid Pro&#8217;s voice command system isn&#8217;t that Android has  it &#8212; we&#8217;ve been experimenting with voice-commanded computers for a very  long time. The impressive part is how ruthlessly accurate it is. I have  yet to have it get a word wrong when I&#8217;m enunciating properly, and it&#8217;s  still far better than 90% when speaking casually. In fact, I just read  the previous sentence to it, and it picked the thing up word for word. I  even tested it with obscure, easily missed words like &#8220;ferrets,&#8221;  &#8220;anchovies,&#8221; and &#8220;Wookie.&#8221; For the record, it had the most trouble with  &#8220;ferrets,&#8221; which it mistook about half the time for &#8220;parents.&#8221; But it  recognized &#8220;Wookie&#8221; fine.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In a much more practical application, right out of the box you can  order it to dial your contacts by name &#8212; without recording voice tags  or doing any other setup work. Once it had slurped down my contact  information, I simply said &#8220;Call Adama,&#8221; and my regular cell phone was  ringing. You can also dictate text messages and emails with a fair  degree of accuracy &#8212; not something that you&#8217;d need to do in most  circumstances, but highly useful if, say, you&#8217;re driving somewhere and  need to write an urgent reply.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Entertainment</strong><br />
The Droid Pro isn&#8217;t sold as a multimedia  phone &#8212; it&#8217;s solidly targeted at business users, a fact Motorola isn&#8217;t  shy of, emphasizing the bundling of Office applications and the strong  password administration support. But make no mistake, if you don&#8217;t mind  the slightly smaller screen, you can have a very happy multimedia  experience.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">To emphasize that, the Droid Pro comes equipped for working with  Digital Living Network Alliance products, a system for allowing various  entertainment products to work together. For instance, being able to  stream video from a set-top digital video recorder, or use the Droid Pro  to control the interaction of other DLNA equipment like a remote.  Lacking any other DLNA-certified equipment, I couldn&#8217;t really test this,  but the concept looks like it could be brilliant if it takes off and is  implemented well.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Even the default browser is quite comfortable, more so even than my  usual standby of Opera Mini. I suspect that would change outside of 3G  range and the high browsing speed it provides, but for now, the dynamic  zoom and automatic reflowing win the day.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As mentioned above, the Droid Pro is faster than hell. And it handles  all it&#8217;s applications like a champion, even the high end ones that it&#8217;s  not marketed towards.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Battery Life</strong><br />
The only sour note I have to sound about the  Droid Pro&#8217;s performance is the one which, when you think about it, is  fairly obvious. The more you use all that amazing hardware, the faster  you&#8217;re going to eat the battery.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I had my review unit fully  charged at 2:30, and by 7 PM with all the playing I had done, the  battery was down to 15%. I&#8217;ve seen worse, but it&#8217;s certainly nothing to  write home about. I&#8217;m accustomed to getting a full day of heavy use, but  that expectation isn&#8217;t based on a larger screen and what is, in fact, a  relatively small battery for the hardware it&#8217;s powering.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There&#8217;s a nifty little OS component that will tell you in detail what  is consuming your battery life. To no surprise, 65% of my power drain  was in the form of the screen. The Droid Pro does have a setting to  automatically adjust the screen&#8217;s brightness, however the automatic  setting is too low for my taste relative to the ambient lighting, and  unlike on other devices with a light sensor, you can&#8217;t give it any  guidance as to whether you&#8217;d like it just a little brighter or darker  than its defaults.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It doesn&#8217;t help that Android&#8217;s default menus and screens are almost  all white text on black backgrounds, making them much harder to see in a  lit environment. Indeed, I had to turn up the brightness considerably  to be able to see clearly, which led me to my second noteworthy  complaint. Specifically, Android doesn&#8217;t make it easy for you to choose  anything but the default color scheme. There is no way built into the  device to choose different colors, and even with some of the third party  launcher replacements, you can only get part of the way. I installed  ADW Launcher, which allowed me to change the color of the app drawer,  but menus were still all white text on black backdrop.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This may seem like a little thing, but it&#8217;s important because it has  to do with user comfort. Users shouldn&#8217;t need to crank up their screen  brightness to compensate for absurdly dark colors they can&#8217;t change.  When you&#8217;re not dealing with that, the automatic screen brightness is  much more to my taste.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As far as the larger power issue goes, there are some settings you  can tweak to help reduce battery drain, such as the frequency of data  and GPS updates, there&#8217;s supposed to be an extended battery option  available soon through Verizon, however it&#8217;s rated at 1820 mAh, only 28%  larger than the standard 1420 mAh cell. I&#8217;d really like to see an  option to add a little padding to the entire back of the device in trade  for, say, 2 to 2.5 times the standard battery power. That would give  the power hogs like myself the guarantee that we could get through a  rough day without worrying overmuch about conserving juice. If I&#8217;m lost  and depending on the GPS, or making a lot of calls to manage a  situation, I don&#8217;t want to worry whether the battery will hold out.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">While these two things are my biggest issues with the Droid Pro as a  device, in the big picture they&#8217;re relatively minimal. Both can be  either fixed or reduced by software eventually, and frequent charging is  a reality of life for smartphone users, particularly high end ones.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>CONCLUSION</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I have to say that it&#8217;s been quite a long while since I got the raw thrill from playing with a gadget that I have from the Motorola Droid Pro.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">While it&#8217;s obvious that the  state of the art in mobile tech improves, the difference is more than  just a hardware upgrade &#8212; it&#8217;s the fact that the Droid Pro and the  Android platform are well thought out and robust in ways that others  simply aren&#8217;t.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The difference is like driving every day in a basic sedan, and then  suddenly being handed the keys to a well built luxury car. It shows you  all the little things that you didn&#8217;t realize could be done so much  better. And while in the end you may not technically need those things, I  dare say that most people would choose to have them.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Droid Pro delivers a solid business-oriented device that also makes plenty of room for recreational use. I&#8217;m sold.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Pros:</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Great hardware specs</li>
<li>Sleek, easy-to-use design</li>
<li>Excellent operating system</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Cons:</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Can eat battery power quickly</li>
<li>Some buttons too easy to push</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><a href="http://www.nicomovil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/LG-Optimus-T.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-492" title="LG Optimus T" src="http://www.nicomovil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/LG-Optimus-T-180x300.jpg" alt="LG Optimus T 180x300 LG Optimus T" width="180" height="300" /></a>BUILD &amp; DESIGN</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Optimus T is a well constructed, comfortable phone. I say that  because it just feels good in the hand. It is plastic throughout, and  feels light, but not cheap. The plastic has a texture to it that adds to  the quality feel.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Dimensions are 4.5 x 2.3 x 0.5, and it weighs in at around 4.5 ounces.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Screen<br />
</strong>The display is a 3.2-inch HVGA (480 x 320) TFT LCD touchscreen. It is bright, and has great colors.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Although the screen is a bit on the small side compared to other  devices, I think it is just right for an entry-level phone. My wife uses  this device, and she is quite happy with the screen. She says &#8221;I like  that I can keep all of my apps/icons in the home listing page, but  really like that I can bring them onto my opening pages (background  pages?) so I can get the frequently used ones quickly. I like the  ability to have different screensaver pages where I can either just look  at my background picture or to place apps that I use a lot and quickly  swipe between the pages. Also, the ability to turn the sounds on and off  with just a quick swipe and not to actually unlock the phone is really  nice!&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The touchscreen seems a little less sensitive compared to my G2, but it has not been a problem.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There is no light sensor like some high end-phones have now, so  you&#8217;ll need to manually adjust the screen brightness, particularly if  you use the Optimus T in the dark or in bright sunlight.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Other Buttons &amp; Controls<br />
</strong>There are four  physical buttons for Menu, Home, Return, and Search below the screen.  These are easy to use, as they are slightly raised.  The two center  buttons (Home and Return) are actually a rocker surrounded by a chrome  accent. This layout makes it easy to use them in the dark.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The volume rocker on the right is pretty straightforward and easy to use.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Interestingly there is no dedicated camera button like its Sprint  counterpart has. Still, the Camera app came as a preloaded icon on one  of the home screen pages, so it has been easy to find and use.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The microSD card is stored under the battery door above the battery itself, and a 2 GB card is included.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span id="more-491"></span>PERFORMANCE</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The LG Optimus T runs the standard version of Android OS 2.2 (Froyo), the latest version of Google&#8217;s operating system.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It is powered by a 600 MHz Qualcomm MSM7627 with Adreno 200 graphics. It also has 512 MB of RAM.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">That 600 MHz processor should  tell you this will not keep up with the big boys using 1 GHz Snapdragon  processors, but it does perform surprisingly well. Normal tasks are  smooth and it has no trouble with the built in live wallpapers. There  are occasional slowdowns during normal operation, but they are barely  noticeable.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Quadrant benchmarks put the Optimus T ahead of the Motorola Droid and Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, not bad for an entry-level phone.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The stock browser handles large websites with ease. There is no Adobe  Flash support, but this does not run very well on other devices with  processors slower than 1 GHz.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Wireless/Call Quality<br />
</strong>The call quality is quite  good. I have not had any dropped calls, or data connectivity issues.  Calls are loud and clear on both ends.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Optimus T uses T-Mobile&#8217;s HSPA 3G network, and always seems to  have a solid connection. Using the Speedtest app, I usually get between 1  and 2 Mbps down, and 0.5 to 1.5 Mbps up, which is much slower than my  G2 on 4G obviously, but is more than adequate for normal use.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Wi-Fi connection is typical of other Android OS handsets. It is  easy to set up and connect to public hotspots as well as my home  network. A nice touch on this phone is the inclusion of Wi-Fi calling  and hotspot. Just like the recently reviewed T-Mobile G2, Wi-Fi calling was easy to setup and use, but does count against your mobile minutes.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This smartphone also has Bluetooth 2.1, A-GPS, a compass, and an accelerometer.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I paired my wife&#8217;s Bluetooth headset and tested it briefly, and I had  no trouble with the process or sound quality. The speaker phone is  clear and loud, and uses the same speaker as the ear speaker on the  front of the phone. This is nice when it is sitting on a table when  using the speakerphone.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Productivity<br />
</strong>Many standard Android OS apps are  included such as Gmail, Contacts, Calendar, Calculator, Voice Search,  Google Voice, and email. Together, these make an ordinary phone into a  smartphone. They help you keep up with your schedule and your friends.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Swype keyboard is  pre-installed, and works great. For those that haven&#8217;t used it, Swype is  a way of typing without actually pulling your finger away from the  screen to complete words. What you do is draw a line to all of the  letters of a word, and it will recognize the word. If there is more than  one word recognized it pops up with a box and you select the correct  one. Since there is no physical keyboard, the touch screen keyboard must  be easy to use and accurate, and this one is.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The notification area has a row of toggles for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS,  data, and mute when pulled down. The app tray also has a couple of  slight modifications which is app grouping. The top section has  pre-installed apps, and downloaded apps are below. You also have the  ability to add categories in the app tray and move apps around in them.  My wife&#8217;s thoughts, &#8220;I was able to easily understand the touch screen  keys and quickly learn to toggle between symbols, numbers letters etc&#8230;  which I still really hadn&#8217;t figured out on my old button phone. This  phone was also easy to get used to where to touch, slide through lists  etc for me to get around. It was much easier to adapt to/learn than I  thought it would be.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Entertainment<br />
</strong>The built-in Music and Movie  players are not exceptional, but work well. If you want to use the  Optimus T as a music player, though, you&#8217;re probably going to want to  get a larger memory card. The 2 GB one this device comes with won&#8217;t hold  a big music or video collection, but you can go up to 32 GB.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There is also an FM radio built in, and the radio app is easy to use. You can scan, save favorites, and search.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are several game demos pre-installed (My wife likes Doodle Jump).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">According to her, &#8220;I have found it easy to locate new games and  download them&#8221;. That&#8217;s because this model includes the Android Market,  an on-device store for finding, buying, and installing apps.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you&#8217;re into social networking, Facebook and Twitter, apps are readily available.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Camera<br />
</strong>The 3.2 megapixel camera in the LG Optimus  T does not include a flash, but pictures are still very good, much  better than I expected.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">LG does a god job with its camera here. The camera app has a nice  interface compared to the stock Android one, and gives you more control  over your pictures. It is also easy to zoom using the volume key on the  side of the phone.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Navigation<br />
</strong>Bundled software includes TeleNav.  There is a monthly charge for using this navigation app, but it is one  of the best available, with lots of bells and whistles.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But if you don&#8217;t want to pay extra, you can use the standard Google Maps, which offers basic navigation.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Also bundled is DriveSmart. This is an app that, when enabled,  minimizes driving distractions by silencing notifications, routing calls  to voicemail or a Bluetooth headset, and optionally auto-responding to  calls and texts. DriveSmart Plus, a downloadable upgrade (available  soon), automatically detects vehicle motion, and adds parental controls.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Battery Life<br />
</strong>The battery life is excellent on the Optimus T. A 1500 mAh battery is included, and with normal usage this can last days.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">After the initial geek out period of playing around with it, my wife  only charges it once every few days, and even then it isn&#8217;t especially  needed.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>CONCLUSION</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Overall the LG Optimus T is a very nice phone. You get a lot of bang for your buck on this one.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It performs well, has good battery life, and is a good size for daily  use. I think LG hit the sweet spot of functionality and price with this  device.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Pros:</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Good design, feels light without feeling cheap</li>
<li>Capable processor</li>
<li>Android OS 2.2 (Froyo) with Swype pre-installed</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Cons:</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>No Adobe Flash Support</li>
<li>Small screen for games and movies</li>
<li>No Camera flash</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">HTC has been known as a smartphone killer even before the smartphone market came into a boom- the way it is right now. For HTC, releasing smartphones is already their routine- whereas other mobile phone manufacturers are struggling to release one in the fast growing mobile market.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With the reunion of HTC and the best OS manufacturer in the name of Windows, the smartphone market will surely experience a lot of improvements and this power tandem will set the bar higher. HTC’s alleged phone called the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.best-mobile-contracts.co.uk/phones/HTC-7-Pro.aspx">HTC 7 Pro</a> will be another jack-of-all-trades type of phone as it will cater and surely be a hit in many different aspects of its functionality. Here’s why:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Talk About the Externals</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">HTC Pro 7 will surely win the crowd by its physical look alone. Boasting a side-flip type of phone with a full QWERTY keypad and a smooth screen tilt manoeuvre, the HTC 7 Pro will be a perfect Gizmo for tying things, watching movies and videos or simply browsing the internet.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Also, its 3.6 inch touch capacitive screen will surely give its users an unmatched experience granted by its speedy 1 GHz processor and OS which features the Windows 7 phone OS.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">HTC 7 Pro From the Inside</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As mentioned earlier on, HTC 7 Pro will carry the latest Windows 7 phone OS and apart from that, also has a built in Dolby Digital and Surround Sound ability. The memory built inside the phone hasn’t been specified yet so we have to watch out for that one up but yes, there will be an expected memory card slot for memory upgrades. Data can also be accessed through Wi-Fi network as well as 3G and HSPA.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Still unconvinced? Probably we have to wait for until next year’s first quarter when they are rescheduled for a release and rumours say there will be some fantastic <a target="_blank" href="http://www.best-mobile-contracts.co.uk/">phone deals</a> available for this phone! So better keep your ears open and eyes more vigilant than ever.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Today’s trend in the mobile phone industry is mainly about smartphones. Manufacturers are competing to produce only the best smartphones. Mobile phone manufacturer, Sony Ericsson, is among those who are taking advantage of the hype for high end phones by producing phones such as Xperia. Last April 2010, however, the company unveiled their latest Walkman phones. This is a shift from the smartphone craze. This switch is due to the still great demand for Walkman phones. According to Jenny Maltesson, the Marketing Business Manager of Sony Ericsson, there is still a “great appetite” for Walkman phones among consumers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-289"></span>The Sony Ericsson Zylo is more than just a Walkman phone. The company recognizes the popularity of social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. This is why they integrated into the phone applications that let users access these sites. More than this, the phone has other features to boast about. You can find the latest <a target="_blank" href="http://www.moby1.co.uk/phones/Sony-Ericsson/Zylo.html">Sony Ericsson Zylo offers</a> at Moby1.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Managing Files</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The phones internal memory is only 260 MB. For those who think that this storage capacity is not enough, they can expand it with a microSD card which can reach up to 16 GB. This is ideal for audio and video files. The phonebook of this device can store up to 2000 entries. Photocall feature of the phone allows users to put photos in their contacts.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Users can transfer data to other mobile device through cellular networks via Class 10 GPRS and EDGE. They can also connect to other compatible devices and gadgets in the area through USB v2.0 for cabled connections and Bluetooth v2.1 for wireless ones. You can find good deals for this phone when you compare <a target="_blank" href="http://www.moby1.co.uk/">mobile phone deals</a> online.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Entertainment</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The phone comes with a 3.15 megapixel camera. This camera has geo-tagging feature that allows users to tag information into the photo. The users can also shoot videos using this camera.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><!--more-->Apart from the camera, the device has FM radio with RDS. It also has Walkman player that supports different formats of audio files. It also supports Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC) format which is said to produce better audio quality than MP3. This is a first from a Walkman phone. Another popular application of this phone is the TrackID feature. Through this application, users can record songs currently playing in the background. The phone then looks up the title and the artist of the song.</p>
