Xtab is well built tablet for fun but it’s not really great in my personal opinion. Xtab touchscreen is suck and sometimes there is delay. Only there one camera in front of xtab tablet, the camera quality is very poor. You can’t see your own face if you try to capture your own face *lol*. The audio is fine but you won’t hear some great bass.

This tablet come with Android 2.2 (froyo) OS. Inside tablet already there some standard application like, web browser, yahoo msgr, facebook, pdf reader, document to go (WRD, PPT, XLS), and some popular games including angry birds.

Monitor is clear and sharp, we can also set our own brightness sets. In the left side you will find power button and camera. In the top there is a menu button and back button. In the right there is speakers, power port, headphone port, detachable USB/LAN port, and microSD port. The main rom is just 2GB in size, but you can add more up to 32GB using microSD or USB.

The bad thing I hate for this tablet is the limitation on USB modem they support. We can only used USB modem listed on tablet support, When I try using my own USB modem this device can’t initialized. Why it’s suck? because mostly USB modem this tablet supports only one from China. It’s hard to find it in here so when test it I used WiFi and Lan as Internet gateway.

In very short reviews this tablet is fine for students you can do some fun activity like watch movie, listen to music, browsing Internet, chatting and playing games… But you can’t play a great games which may consume more CPU/RAM usage. For pro users it’s better to stay away from this tablet, it’s really horrible!

AW100 follow in the footsteps of other camera vendors who have had at least one camera, in this category where they rely on waterproof, shockproof and freezeproof. The best feature that deserve the highlights of the camera with price USD $379 is the GPS feature.

GPS allows users to triangulate on the map to determine where they shoot the object last time. In addition to GPS, the camera is also equipped with a compass. Nikon also pinned the Action Button on the AW100 to allow users to navigate the menu even though he was wearing gloves.

With the Action Button, users simply set its Buton on the side of the camera and he’ll be able to operate the menu with just a swing, instead of having to squeeze a mini-sized buttons. Quoted from ABCNews, Nikon Coolpix AW100 present in the market with a choice of orange, black and blue.

With a 1GHz dual-core Tegra 2 processor, it’s a screamer. So much so, it can power a full netbook-like laptop accessory. As far as other specifications go, it’s one of the few Android handsets to feature a whopping 1GB of RAM. Rounding out the feature set is a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash and 720p video recording, the first qHD (quarter HD) display, second microphone for noise cancellation, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, front-facing video camera, HDMI port, and a fingerprint scanner for security that doubles as the on/off button.

The device feels solid and well built. It’s a tad bit thick, but since it’s nicely rounded on the edges, it feels thinner and more easy to hold, though the phone is incredibly slippery due to the matte black plastic casing. On the front of the ATRIX you’ll find the front-facing video camera in the upper left in addition to the proximity sensor, ambient light sensor, and notification LED on the upper right. Besides the four touch-sensitive Android menu keys on the bottom of the front, it’s pretty clean. Switching to the left side of the handset and you will find a microUSB port followed by a mini-HDMI port, on the right side of the phone there’s a volume up and down rocker. The on / off button is sneakily integrated into the fingerprint scanner on the top but towards the rear of the ATRIX, Moving to the back: you will find the 5 megapixel camera and LED flash,  a reasonably cool carbon fiber-esque pattern on the rear battery door, and the rear external speaker on the bottom of the phone.

The 4-inch display on the ATRIX packs a whopping 960 x 540 pixels into what Motorola is calling a qHD display. It’s a little odd that the display on the Motorola DROID X actually looks better than the qHD display, in terms of clarity. Colors, however, look great and the panel is very bright and evenly lit. The screen on the ATRIX also fares very well in the touch sensitivity department with a solid and reliable capacitative touch screen.

The Motorola ATRIX 4G runs a version of the love-it-or-hate-it MOTOBLUR UI. Things run fast, smooth, and effortless, no doubt in thanks to that dual-core CPU, but again, the software UI on here isn’t that big of a deal, even if you are an Android purist.

Talking on the ATRIX was excellent. Calls were very clear with the internal ear speaker sounding very natural, and extremely loud. Noise cancellation also performed well in noisy environments helping people on the other line to hear more clearly. You also have the ability to add a number right from the dialer to your contact list, and you have a voice command button right next to that. We can’t remember if this happened on other Motorola devices, but when you go into contacts in the phone app, you’re presented with only your direct contacts in your synced address books, not the ones that are scattered about the actual contacts app.

The speaker on the ATRIX performed very well in tests. Music played back reasonably loud without much distortion, though it lacked that low end punch. The speakerphone also performed great, projecting audio loud and clear.

The battery life reports seems to be pretty great. It’s easily on par or even a level better than other Android phones. When tested we don’t do too much calling, but downloading, installing and using apps, email, browsing, Twitter, Facebook, and more.

Motorola q8 (GSM) is soul-mate of Motorola q8 (CDMA). Phone body is almost 100% same but the color is totally different. If Motorola q8 CDMA using silver color as main and black color as keypad. Motorola q8 GSM using black color as main and Silver color as keypad.

Operating system also different, In Motorola q8 CDMA it’s using windows mobile 5.0. Motorola q8 GSM using windows mobile 6.0 (upgradable to WM 6.1) You can search on google the step to upgrade it at your own risk. If you’re asking which one better of course WM 6.0 better than WM5 when I tested both phone battery there is a lot difference around 35%-50%. Wm6.0 also more responsive than WM5.

When test motorola q8 GSM stability I found sometimes phones hard to dettect an provider signal. I’m nor sure this is bug from software or hardware but sometimes I can’t send short messages to my friends when I’m in Mall or busy place.

Morotola q8 GSM is an smartphone for everyone need an personal touch on it. You can change almost everything including fonts on  this phone. If you need more you can go to windows mobile app store to find more software to make this phone fit your needs.

About the Internet, Motorola Q8 GSM is just standard like cheap phone out there, It’s using EDGE and not support for 3G network. Just there is one thing I love from this phone, It’s have an automatic wizard on Internet settings. You don’t need to ask or looking for information to get connected on Internet.

Camera is standard 1.3 Mega-pixels (it’s same like Motorola Q8 CDMA). If you need TV or WI-FI you can get SD cards support for this. This phone is recommended for student or professional which need and personal digital asistant to help their daily activity.

Internal upgrades

Motorola really bumped up the specs on the DROID 2. First off, the DROID 2 is now powered by a 1Ghz TI OMAP processor and it also has 512MB of RAM. The DROID 2 comes with 16GB (8GB internal + 8GB microSD preinstalled) straight out of the box. Of course, you can always bump that up to 40GB total if you’re willing to buy a 32GB microSD card.

Hardware

The design of the DROID 2 is very similar to the original DROID, but there are a few minor design changes. There’s a plastic chrome trim around the display. The back is a soft-touch plastic finish, and it’s actually blue. I’m not sure how I feel about it being blue, but it’s growing on me as time passes.

In the left side, there’s a microUSB port for charging and sync. Beside that, there’s a tiny LED light, lights up when the phone is plugged in. In the top, there is the 3.5mm headphone jack for music, and a power/lock button. In the front, there’s an earpiece, a LED notification light, and a bunch of sensors. The 3.7-inch, 854 x 480 display is almost identical to the original DROID, and it’s still crisp, clear, and straight-up awesome. Below the display is four touch-sensitive buttons: Menu, Home, Back, and Search.

Keyboard

DROID 2 keyboard is dramatic improvement better than original DROID. The keys are much more domed, and instead of the d-pad, they put in directional keys.

Software

The DROID 2 runs Android 2.2 Froyo with the custom Motorola skin found on the DROID X. Software-wise, it’s pretty similar to the DROID X, except for some of the features that Froyo brings to the table. The DROID 2 comes bundled with a few third-party applications, such as Blockbuster, Kindle, NFS Shift, and Quickoffice.

The DROID 2 comes pre-loaded with Voice Actions, which is basically Voice Search on steroids. Voice Actions is absolutely amazing, and you can pretty much do anything with just your voice. You can do everything by voice, from calling someone, to opening a webpage.

The DROID 2 comes preloaded with Adobe Flash Player 10.1. Seeing full Flash on a mobile device is glorious. Most of the Flash content I viewed were playable, both games and videos worked without a glitch. However, it is a battery drainer, and it does eat up a ton of CPU.

Camera

The DROID 2 is equipped with a 5MP camera with a dual-LED flash and autofocus. You can set different Scenes and different Effects for photos. I noticed that the camera refused to focus on certain items, but when it’s focused, the picture quality is really nice.

720p is becoming the standard on high-end smartphones, so I was a little disappointed when I saw that the max video resolution on the DROID 2 is 720 x 480, also known as 480p. Besides that disappointment, video shot on the device was decent.

Battery Life

The DROID 2 is powered by a 1390mAH battery. Battery life is excellent, pulling me through a day of moderate usage. However, if you’re watching Flash videos all day and streaming YouTube while using 3G Mobile Hotspot — you need to pick up one of those spare batteries. Or you’ll need a power port right next to you.

The key for this phone is smart operating system provided by google, code name Android 2.2 (Froyo). Making this phone sold very fast and people hunting for it because the price is actually cheaper than what it offers.

With 3 Megapixel camera you can take a picture or recording video anywhere within good quality result.

The second important key on this phone is this phone already supported HSDPA with 7.2Mbps downstream. This feature was great! but if you’re live in Indonesia or in country with suck internet connection don’t hope to much to gain this rate..

Wifi, bluetooth, and USB cable is the connection you can used to communicate using galaxy mini. I really hate when there is no infrared  device on this phone making me low the score for this phone.

Touchscreen was great. It’s including SWYPE which can detects what words you try to write. When I’m compared galaxy mini with China replica phone there is a lot difference on touchscreen. China phone not response fast as Galaxy mini.

Speaking about the processor, samsung claimed this phone running multi-tasking fast with 600mHz processor. I think this not really good, many motorola phone offers faster processor.

Battery quality was great, when idle galazy mini can life for 7 days, when making a call it can life for 7-9 hours depend on signal quality.

My personal score for Samsung Galaxy mini is 8.3 of 10

I buy this modem for only 450 IDR or it’s equivalent with $50 USD. There is 2 model available, First Gee Mobile EVDO Rev.A frequency 800/1900 MHz (this working with Smart-Telecom as evdo provider) Secondly Gee Mobile EVDO rev.0 frequency 800 MHz (cheaper, it’s working with AHA/Bakrie-Telecom as evdo provider).

When I look on gee mobile hardware I don’t see any changes inside it. This modem hardware id and product id are completely same with Venus vt-18 (I will review it soon) mostly all this cheap evdo modem coming from same vendor but when they in the market they change it’s brand.

I have bad experience when using gee mobile. On the first 4 days after I received this modem it’s really hard to find the EVDO signal. After 5 days finally I got evdo signal, but the problem is gee mobile dialers not working when I change it to evdo mode.

Bored, I send it back to seller and he replaced it within new one. And finally this one already 4 months and still working fine. So if you’re want to buy this product make sure their warranty for at least 1 year (I mean replaced warranty) because this modem cheap I think there some bad product and there some good product.

When I try to install this modem on windows XP and Windows 7 there is no problem I meet, only for windows 7 you have to install it with different technique. When I try to install this modem on linux ubuntu I meet problem because this modem couldn’t set to evdo mode, even it detected 1x mode I still can’t connected to internet.

Many people says cheap modem = bad product. Not this one, I try to use this modem for 24 hours non stop and it still working with good performance. Signal is really accurate, if compared with Haier CE100 this one better. I don’t have any tools to check the modem temperature but I fell temperature is almost same with other expensive modem.

Standard dialer for this modem is really bad. Because it’s cheap the dialer is really bad and there is no support for it. I’m searching on google about this vendor website but I didn’t found anything. The problem is when you’re using netbook, dialers will working strange. It will hide some button we needed to used for connecting. Anyway I used reshacker tools to hack dialer resource.

Gee Mobile Spesification

• Technology : CDMA EVDO Rev.A backward compatible with CDMA EVDO Rev.O and CDMA 1X.
• RF Frequency : 800 / 1900MHz (Dual Band)
• Transfer Rate : Download up to 3.1Mbps / Upload up to 1.8Mbps
• SMS : Yes
• Phone call : No
• PC Conection : USB 2.0 Fullspeed
• OS Support : Windows XP, Vista, 7
• Warranty : 1 year warranty

Haier CE100 comes in 2 packages, locked with some CDMA operators only and unlocked for all CDMA operators. You can read detailed information about CDMA and EVDO from wikipedia pages.

This USB modem style just standard almost same with another USB modem. I already compared this item with GeeMobile modem (I have 2 EVDO Modem, maybe next articles I should write about GeeMobile) Haier CE100 temperature is more cool than GeeMobile. Usually I used this modem for 18 Hours a day until today it’s stay cool.

Haier CE100 comes with default dialer (autorun from USB stick) you can use this dialer to change your net mode example: CDMA1x RTT or EVDO or HYBRID (modem will try CDMA1x+EVDO  and choose which one the best based on signal quality). Of course for dialing you can choose to use  default dialer or windows standard dialer, it won’t change your downstream rate and upstream rate once you set your modem mode. There is a little bug in this dialer software, Signal sometimes not accurate, it’s always starts 100% and then going lower and stay in (mostly) 60%. For better analyzed for signal I prefer you to use QPST and QXDM software.

What included inside the Haier CE100 package? When you buy this device the standard package are Haier ce100 USB MODEM, USB cable extension cable, manual book, warranty card, CD-Drivers, and sometimes it’s included the RUIM card from your providers.

How about quality for this product? All I can say for this 9 months using this modem to work and browsing the internet I satisfied with Haier Ce100 performance result, even sometimes EVDO provider giving low speed for internet access it has nothing to affect this modem performance.

Haier Ce100 Specification:

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.

On the back camera there is LCD and navigation button. Samsung Es10 claim they used intelligent LCD, I’m still not get what’s that mean since it’s look similar with another digital camera LCD *lol*. Navigation button is zoom-in and zoom out, menu button, left-right-up-down and go button, Flash, auto-focus, panorama effect, And the last button is gallery and FN button (used to deleted or cancel action).

On the menu you can choose to set what mode this digital camera should be, It can be used to take pictures or recording movie with sound. On function menu there is face detection technology which will focus on smile when detected. Set photo size (megapixel), Photo quality such as fine and super fine quality, Focus area and voice.

On Sound menu you can set volume for each action such as shutter etc. Display menu just like setting for your Samsung ES10 digital camera it contains configuration for appearance and power save function. On Setting menu just same like display menu.

That’s it my short review for Samsung ES10 digital camera, I would give score 6.8 from 10 for this Samsung ES10. It is worth to but this digital camera? Hmm, I think it’s worth… since price is under $100 and you got almost all standard digital camera needed this day. So… buy it! haha..
