Welcome to the evolution


Well I have been asked by n people until now about soni ericsson K750i and hence I am posting it here… well apporva now u must be happy to read this post rather my last one?? what say??… I am using this model from last 3 months now… and I suppose this would be the right time to give an review … I have bought it from Singapore for (680 Singaporian $) approx 19k with receipt… at that time in India it was 28k with receipt and it was also recently launched… I am not myself in support of buying costly mobiles probably due to my careless nature … but if one wants good tech one has to spend…

oka so here goes the review: -

  1. Size: - Firstly, the size of the handset is just right, small and light enough to fit in your pocket without noticing it, yet easy to hold and use. Where as in the case of nokia N series its like carrying stone in your pocket
  2. Screen: -The screen is fantastic, large (176 x 220) and bright with 262,000 colours TFT display, you can clearly see what's displayed even in sunlight.
  3. Camera: - I am not too fussy for a camera quality in a mobile but this one’s actually best in the market. This phone has a split personality; it secretly wants to be camera but is trapped in a phones body! Because when you flip the cover on its back it ceases to be a phone and becomes a fully fledged 2 mega pixel camera - how cool is that? With 2 mega pixel camera , auto focus, 4x digital zoom, a macro mode, night mode, flash light, self-timer, white balance, time stamping, choice of normal or fine picture quality, effects like negative, sepia which is actually awesome, solarize. No beat for its camera… It also has a video recording of 1 hour… One can create multiple photo albums…and also led flash is simply awesome…
  4. Mp3: I actually went for this for its mp3 quality … Its mp3 quality is comparable to Ipod …with extendable memory till 2 GB imagine how many playlists one can make that too in a mobile … has lots of sound effects treble, bass, equalizer etc.
  5. Memory: - The phone comes with 38 MB shared memory and a 64MB Memory Stick Duo card ... memory stick can be extended to 2GB…only thing is sony memory stick is bit costly compared to other brands…
  6. Networks: - GSM Tri-band 900/1800/1900 MHz and has triband…
  7. Battery: - Battery is Li-Po 900 mAh (Lithium polymer is best in the market for mobiles ) … The battery can live for 400 hours stand-by or 9 hours talk-time - so far it has gone 3 days without a charge. It's also light (99g for the whole phone) and seemly quick to charge, about 2-3 hours.
  8. Data Transfer: - can be done through Bluetooth, Infrared port, USB and GPRS (32 - 48 kbps)… for Bluetooth I have bought a billionton bluetooth device to connect to my comp …its cheap in range of 500 – 800 … gives me 40kb/sec speed… Here comes a negative point also…this mobile doesn’t support Wlan and 3G…although it’s not a big issue but if you r spending u don’t want to miss anything right??
  9. Bluetooth - well I was about to say on that! Bluetooth has to be one of the best inventions for mobile phones in recent times, by definition mobiles should be mobile, and they shouldn't have to rely on wires. Manufactures, for some unknown reason, have been reluctant to put it in but in this case Sony have and what a relief. I bought Sony’s own Bluetooth hands free for (138 Singaporian $) approx 4ooo that pops on your ear to use specially with this phone. And it’s brilliant. It's even clearer than using the phone it's self because the sound is planted directly in your ear.
  1. I haven’t explored my mobile much due to time constraints and also I get bugged up … but if u actually want to do some kidas then this one has a music, video and photo DJ’s…a remote control application for media player and presenter… You can also connect your phone to a photo printer to take printouts…well what I meant to say is there’s lot in the piece but only if one has time to devote….

Well theres lot of comparision between nokia’s and sony’s …well I must say nokia makes mobiles for masses but if u want quality go for high range sony ericcson’s …no beat for that… well it takes time to transit oneself from nokia to sony… but after 2 -3 days one gets used to and u land up in the world of tech rather than just using the phone to talk… I don't normally consider Sony to make best electronics in a particular sector rather they are great all-rounder but here I would suggest they have created one of the best phones in the market.

Well so all in all great mobile with a big claim …
“If you want all those things that this phone provides and have time to use them all efficiently”, then this is an excellent phone and it rocks.

life in Retrospection

Well time waits for nobody and this is actually truth… man just yesterday I was talking with manas… was in barc and was sitting in my junior college ground… well I was just in here … and still remember I used to play cricket in this ground… used to do so much masti out here… rohit, apooorva, anil, rajeev, ameya and whole gang…then was in college ... lived my 4 years there and did dhaamal… did some stupid things although... and now it has been 2+ years passed college life also…. Man when I retrospect its actually quiet weird… feels little nostalgic but then this happens in everyone’s life… people around me haven’t ever changed…these guys were always there with me throughout my childhood … I have grown with them… we had talked at different instances of our life’s and the only change is the matter of the talk… our talk now is more matured … our discussions kept changing but people around are same old pals… initially it was 12th results… then college … then jobs … and now mba…and this will never cease ...this is intermittent … life just goes on no matter how much we ponder … no matter whatever we do… time passed has passed… well many would have got bored reading this…but this is life in reality…life in existence
