Nokia E72 Unboxing Pictures & Review

I have always been a fan of Nokia E Series. It is always a perfect equilibrium of sophistication, functionality and style. No wonder E71 can win over customer’s heart, solidly-built, user-friendly and looking great. It seems that the successor will have a notch far too high to live up to. It is E72’s burden to do the acrobatic moves to knock us out, can it?



You have got three colors to choose form for E72. Zodium Black, Metal Grey and Topaz Brown. All are looking fantastic and hip. You will get the phone, a battery, a charger, a data cable, a handsfree, a strap, a leather case (I have always liked one) and a user’s guide.

The Topaz Brown would be the apple of my eyes. It adds the sense of regality to the modern looking phone. When compared to E71, E72 is a gram heavier (or I should say less light!) and a millimeter thicker (or I should say less slim!). However, the one unit is well compensated for. It has 600MHz CPU vs E71's 369 MHz. The HSDPA of E72 is 10.2Mbps and the HSUPA is 2Mbps while E71 has no HSDUA and its HSDPA only matches up to 3.6Mbps.

The keypad is made protruding enough to facilitate fast typing. The last row of keys has extended by two items more. (adopting the atavistic E63-lookalike pad). The surprise lies on the Optical Navi Key (the black centre of the D-Pad) which works like the one from Blackberry Curve 8520. It assists smooth scrolling and also doubles as the AF key for camera.

Another step ahead for E72 is the 3.5mm jack which is absent in E71.

Here on the left you’ll find the portals of the MicroUSB and MicroSD. E72 has upgraded the compatible maximum extended memory to 16GB vs the 8GB max for E71.

The camera is also upgraded to 5MP with larger resolution (2592×1944) versus the 3MP camera of E71. Benefitted from the energy efficiency, the battery can last longer (from 410 hours of talk time of E71 to 480 hours and you get 12 hours of talk time when compared to 10 hours of E71) although it is the same battery model. A lot has improved eh?

The menu of E71 is still very easy to navigate. You have got real time mail exchange, GPS, WiFi, IM services, Lotus Notes and other supports on borad. What an irresistible juggernaut it is!

Yes, E72 is still a winner. It has retained the best bits of best-selling E71 which are the Blackberry-smashing which is the slimmer and more youthful design, a more vibrant and quality display and a friendlier price tag. E72 has not stopped there; it has equipped itself with a faster CPU, a bigger storage and a faster speed. If there is one phone that I want right now, that would be it.

Canon PowerShot S90 Unboxing Pictures & Review

I have never thought of the resurrection of Canon’s S Series. (Yes, I thought the S Series had died as it has been four protracted years since the release of the late S80.) The release of S90 is thus a gospel to me. The heralded triumph of LX3 has testified the immense demand for compact camera with advanced features from the market. It is a surprise to see that it has taken so long for Canon to react to that. Canon S90 has finally arrived. It’s better late than never.

The package includes the S90 camera, a battery, a charger, a USB cable, an AV cable, a neck strap, a CD ROM and user’s guide.

The modest design of S90 is a plus. Its black understated professional-looking design has simply made the master statement that it does not want to distract the users from its powerful functions, so that a humble outlook would be an adequate match. Although it comes with delightfully portable dimensions (100.0 x 58.4 x 30.9mm) and weight (175g body), Even more compact than its main competition LX3. It does not sacrifice any of the shooting competence promised by the great line of S Series. It has the same large image sensor as the bulky G11 (1/1.7", 0.43 cm²) which makes sure the details are captured. DIGIC4 image processor is also on board to guarantee the ever-so-speedy operation. The Dual Noise Reduction system is a powerful tool to stop noise from kicking in during low light situation, just to name a few.

Like a professional shooters, G90 allows flexible manual adjustment. On the mode dial, you will find full manual mode, custom mode, aperture-prior mode, shutter-prior mode, program mode, AE mode, low-light mode, scene mode and movie. You can add your creative input and manipulate the image and make it your own.

There is a dedicated shortcut key (button with an S) for you to assign specific function to it which saves you some time fumbling through menu.

The flash will automatically pop up when needed unlike the previous IXUS 200IS whose flash will pop up whenever the camera is on. However, for docking in the flash, you have to choose “no flash” from the flash menu and cannot press it down by hand. That may cause a little bit of hassles.

One of the main features of the camera is the control ring round the lens. You can adjust the focus, shutter-speed, aperture, exposure compensation, white balance or ISO by simply rotating it, just like the operation of DSLR. Although it is not as wide as LX3’s 24mm wide angle, the focal length of 28-105mm is still very useful. It has also a f/2.0 (W) - f/4.9 (T) maximum aperture. The 3.8 optical zoom is winning over LX3’s 2.5x.

When you turn the control ring, to adjust the aperture for instance, there will be a scale appearing on the screen. The monitor is an impressive 3 incher just like its more high-end cousin G11. It is highly viewable and is definitely a performer.

The battery compartment is at the base. The battery life can endure approximately 220 shots which is fair enough.

Canon once again hit the mark with S90. It is compact and solid. It has impeccable features that help shoot great images like how a Canon camera is reputed with easy operation that can cater even beginners. LX3 has finally met its match.
