Last week ago I was hunting in some online store to find a new digital camera for myself. I’m looking for digital camera under $100 (just used to write review only, not pro). After research I’m interesting with Samsung ES10 black, It’s looks like an elegant digital camera so I try to buy It.

After 2 days waiting this package coming to my home. I start to open the box to know what inside this package. I got manual book, Samsung ES10 cd driver, warranty card, data cable, 2x AA battery, and of course Samsung ES10 digital camera. Where is my MMC bonus?

When first time I touch this digital camera on my hand an “elegant” idea coming to my mind. Yup, it’s good looking camera with black color, I love it! (don’t know why I love black color gadget haha)

Samsung ES10 is standard digital camera. Since I’m not professional I think this device enough for me to take some pictures around me *lol*. Let’s started to know what inside this digital camera.

On the bottom camera you will find an place to put 2x AA battery and MMC-Card. Battery life is suck, when I tested it 2x new AA Alkaline battery I just can take 500 shoot then camera die. Trust me, go buy an rechargeable NIMH battery this is really recommended.

On the front camera you will find lens and flash. Samsung ES10 using 8.1 megapixel lens. On the top camera you will find power button and shoot button to take pictures or start to capture video. On the left camera there is an mini-USB slot and place to used tail accessories. Nothing really special in here so let’s moving to the next.

This Motorola might old for some people, Anyway I still not found there is any CDMA phone in market better than this Motorola Q8. This Motorola Q8 are using Windows Mobile 5.0 completed with infrared and blue-tooth. With only 750.000 IDR to 1.100.000 IDR you can have this smart phone! (cheap but really useful).

On the left side you will find Micro-SD slot (up to 4GB), infrared and mini USB. On the right phone there is scroll button and undo button. On the top there is earphone port. Motorola Q8 are fully QWERTY button, battery is li-ion 1,130 mAH you can find extended battery on eBay (recommended).

Inside Motorola Q8 there is standard application, this is included: sms and email, Internet explorer, windows media player for mobile, task scheduler, etc. You can buy and install more application on this Motorola Q8 as long app are compatible with windows mobile 5.0 example facade, java emulator, candlelight, facebook for windows mobile and many more, check the store in here.

When I try this Motorola Q8 performance I’m slightly disappointed I think this phone would be faster. But it was wrong, this phone has delay 1-3 seconds (depend on how much app you’re running in background). Anyway it not really interfere.

Motorola Q8 cdma are ev-do already, you can enjoy the fast speed experience on Internet using this smart phone as modem. Motorola Q8 is ev-do rev.0 mean the maximum downstream is 2.4Mbps.

Camera included in this Motorola Q8 is 1.3 megapixel, included flash. When I tested it inside room the picture quality are little blurry, but when I tested it on sunny day (outside) the picture quality are great! so this camera is just standard, don’t hope to much.

Fist time I see this phone just “Wow” This is an Amazing phone with Nokia quality. After long time I have never seen Nokiacreated improvement for their product, but after found this one I’m actually interesting and might buy one Nokia x5 for myself.

For me personally this phone is good enough but I’m just curious WHY Nokia NEVER built an high quality phone with all function people need this day! This might caused by market? hehehe.. If this phone built with all function this day I think this phone will be success on market.

Good point about Nokia X5 is this phone combination of CDMA and GSM network. This day many other product from China with similar specification come to the market and success, But if they looking for quality of course Nokia will be recommended to buy. IF Nokia know what their costumer want Nokia will rules cellular phone market. Another point on this phone is “Enough”. What “enough” mean in my opinion? this phone has many function for high class phone this day but still there is some missing! said, TV tuner and Infrared. This day some people (including me hehe) want this function available on 1(one) phone.

Nokia x5 Style is great! qwerty phone this day is trend, no more 12 key phone will be sold this day. Battery performance on Nokia x5 is great also, it’s been designed to standby for 16 days without need to re-charge! just WOW. Music and Internet application already included, the screen is standard 320×240, I think it’s enough. Camera is 5 mega-pixels with flash, I think people already know which phone this day build camera with quality so i will not commenting for this function. Wifi and bluetooth for communication, it’s just enough.

What bad about Nokia x5? after reading this phone full specification I only found 3 bad point.

1. No Tv-Tuner… bye bye for TV mania.
2. No Infrared, This day many way of communication needed! included infrared I think?
3. Not support 3G/3.5G/EVDO/4G.

That’s it good point and bad point about this Nokia x5. Price in the Indonesian market should be around Rp 1.900.000 – Rp 2.300.000 It’s cheap if compared with other phone with quality and specification. Here is Nokia X5 full specification:

Here in my country since last two years ago we got a big flood of china product. This is the one  that was booming in my country, because this is the first qwerty phone including wi-fi and television  with cheap price! it’s really cheap if you compared with branded cellphone.

This day many of us has following the new trends. Cellphone with qwerty keypad mostly better than classic keypad. Many China product is copy/replica from another brand, I seen many replica in here from blackberry to Nokia. This spc boss-1000 style is copy from Nokia E71. Ok let’s take a look more deeper on this item.

First the looks, this phone absolutely beauty. Because it was copy from Nokia e71 mostly we familiar with this style. The case was made from plastic and some chrome steel (battery case). This combination make this phone looks elegant.

Network, This phone can using two active GSM card (double GSM) with frequency 850/900/1800/1900 MHz. You can use this phone in every country that supporting this frequency.

Keypad absolutely trendy, It’s full qwerty keypad giving this phone got a score plus. This day many of users using their cellphone for browsing on Internet or open WAP site, this qwerty keypad help them navigate easily. Anyway if you compared spc keypad with the real Nokia e71 keypad this spc boss-1000 keypad is harder than e71.

Screen, 2.2″ TFT LCD (wide screen) it’s big enough to watching television or video in this phone. The brightness is excellent! it’s looks very clear.

Camera, This spc boss-1000 has 2 camera. First on the front phone the resolution maximum is 1280×960 anyway some people reporting it’s actually only 640×480 (VGA) quality is standard and little blurry. The second camera is on back phone, maximum resolution is 1600×1200 it’s also has flash to make the second camera giving the best result. Here is some photos result from Spc Boss-100 Camera:

Front Camera

Back Camera

Memory, Mostly cell phone giving only small memory on their package. But SPC is better it has 128MB internal memory with expandable maximum 16GB with t-flash or micro-sd card.

Connectivity, This Spc boss-100 has data cable, wi-fi, and bluetooth. Badly it was not build with infrared to make connectivity on this phone become completed solution for mobile access. After some test all of this device working smoothly wi-fi can detected signal from 100 meters far away.

Chipset, Actually I don’t know how about this spc boss-1000 CPU clock, but in their package they say it was using faster chipset for better performance. In result after some test this phone actually faster than older Nokia N series. If you change menu or playing some java games or open application it was running very smoothly.

Extra. TV, radio, and java. When you bored you can watch local television in your area the quality is depend on signal near your area. Bored with television? there is radio. Still bored? there is java you can download and play some java games on this phone. This java also can be used for any application which based on java example: ebuddy, opera mini, etc.

Here is some photos of spc boss-1000:
