sizeasy - your size comparison website

sizeasy - size comparison website:Nokia E90 gets sized up

Someone from Engadget posted this nifty size comparison of the Nokia E90, Apple iPhone, and a deck of cards. OK, so its a bit bulky compared to the iPhone, but hey, a 3.2 mp camera with autofocus, and a QWERTY keyboard for those of us stuck in the past.

NOTE: even if you are not interested in the size of the Nokia E90, click on the link anyway to see one of the coolest new websites I have seen in awhile. Beautiful graphics, very nice to look at. It allows you to add items to compare, side by side, for size. Great idea for online shopper.

Dynamism.com - Nokia E90

Perusing the Dynamism web site this morning, looking for the latest geek-mobile, and I stumbled upon the Nokia E90 Communicator. I had seen stealth photos for this on www.Engadget.com, but didn't realize it was to be released in Barcelona at GSM 2007.[Photo]

To refresh, I was resigned to buy the Cingular 8525, just doing the daily www.myTrigger.com hunt for a good price. I had fallen in love with the brand new Samsung F700, but then found out it was only tri-band, and would not work with my current provided, Cingular.

Well, along comes the Communicator. The big plus for me is a better camera than the non-autofocus 2mp camera on the 8525. The Communicator has a 3.2 megapixel camera (equal to the Nokia N73) with autofocus. Not as many mp's as the 5 found in the Samsung F700, but plenty for photoblogging.

The E90 Communicator is a bit thinner and longer (read sleeker) than the 8525, plus, the internal display is an incredible 800x352 pixels. For more specs, follow the title link.

I think one's worth waiting for.

Update: Called Dynamism for price and release date. No price yet. but possibly available in March. I saw it on another site for pre-order at $799.00, so I am assuming it will be around there. Is it worth it?

Samsung’s Answer to the iPhone? - My iPhone



Samsung’s Answer to the iPhone? - My iPhone

I have been searching for months for the perfect mophoblo (mobile photoblogger) convergence phone, and this past week, I settled on the Cingular 8525 (aka HTC HErmes or TyTN). It has a QWERTY keypad which is necessary for longer posts, but only a disappointing 2mp camera for the photos. There are much better cameraphones out there with 3.2mp, autofocus and flash (Sony Ericsson 790a, Nokia N73), but I crossed them off my list because of the tiny, tiny keypads.

Just as I have made my decision, the perfect device is announced by Samsung. What a beauty! The F700 has a sleek form factor, slide out QWERTY keypad, and a 5mp camera with autofocus. It is the perfect combination for a mobile photo blogger. It has a 2.78 inch touchscreen, all the better to view and edit photoposts with. Now the question is, when will it drop and how much will it cost?
