Samsung's Latest In E2370

The Korean giant's latest offering is meant for the common users with mind for functionality and utility. Following the trend in budget phones, it is slapped with a name that is common for many budget phones. The mobile phone actually looks cool for a utilitarian mobile phone. It has a candy bar design that is wrapped in orange and black, providing a sharp contrast that reinforces its rugged design. The result, an eye '“ catching mobile phone that is able to attract users at a glance.

Display


The mobile phone's screen makes up the top half of the front of the phone. The TFT '“ type display supports 256K color in 128 x 160 pixels. Over '“ all, it measures 112 x 49 x 19 mm. At the back is a basic VGA camera that is capable of taking moderately '“ good photos. Samsung claims that it is capable of video capture but it is yet doubtful if you will be satisfied with the playback quality. However, it can come in a handy for random snapping while on the go.

Entertainment


The Samsung E2370 comes with a Stereo FM radio with FM recording capabilities. This allows you to tune in for some music wherever you are. It also has an MP3 player that supports a host of audio formats, including MP4. Dedicated music keys are also found in its keyboard. Despite being an economical phone, it is loaded with entertainment value that will surely support your fun lifestyle.

It also has an expandable memory that, aside from being capable of storing up to a hundred phonebook entries, allows you to store photos, audio and video files for mobile storage. Internal memory could have been better but you get the option to expand it if you think it is lacking given your needs. Thus, storing your favorite music is now possible even with a budget phone. Pre-loaded games are also available to while away time when there is nothing left to do, especially when traveling.

Dependability


Like other phones that are meant for the outdoors, it has a staggering standby time of 43 hours and talk time of up to 20 hours. This is great when going on a hiking that takes you in zones that are out of the power grids. So while on the go, the chance of using up your batteries is nil.

It is also well '“ equipped with connectivity features such as Bluetooth and USB '“ based connectivity that allows for data transfers from PC to mobile phone and vice versa. Transfer rates may be slow, bordering on frustrating speeds, but it will do for a budget phone.

Perhaps its biggest feature is its IP 54 certification. Meaning, it is shock, dust and splash resistant making the phone durable despite continuous and rugged handling. With the IP 54 certification, you get the assurance that your mobile phone will be staying with you for a long time. In addition, it has a torch that can be useful when outdoors at night.

Nintendo Dsi Xl Is Launched

The Nintendo DSi XL was officially launched in Europe on the March 5. It's too early to report on sales figures but if the series continues to sell as it has been doing, it's likely to be one of the most wanted products of 2010.

Most of the features of the new console remain the same as its predecessor. It's major selling point is the size of its screens. The size of screens has increased to nearly double what they were before. Unlike the previous screen size increase, you won't need to sit two consoles side-by-side and closely compare them to appreciate the difference. You will notice the difference the second you lay eyes on the console. It is massive.

The new screens give you a new way to enjoy your games. It makes you want to replay all your old games just to see how they look on the new screens.

Along with getting a bigger picture, you also have an increased area to interact with the touch screen. This makes writing on the screen easy and you feel freer to make larger movements which is somehow more enjoyable.

The screen on the DSi XL is partly designed so that it can be enjoyed by groups of people. As well being big, it has a much wider viewing angle so you can see all the colours as you should from just about anywhere that you can see the screen.

One downside to the increased screen size is that it makes the pixels more noticeable since they are larger. Although this can be annoying at first, after a few minutes you are not likely to notice it anymore.

Along with the screens, the stylus has been supersized. The DSi XL comes with both a standard stylus and a new pen-like stylus. This is much more comfortable to hold for long periods of game play without cramping your hands.

Along with all the built in software which was featured in the standard model, including web browser, sound and image manipulation, the DSi XL includes some exclusive pre-loaded games and apps. The first is a new addition to the Brain Training series and it has a very long name, "A Little Bit of... Dr Kawashima's Brain Training: Arts Edition". It includes games from the original Brain Training series along with some games you won't have seen before. There is also a 6 in 1 Dictionary with Camera functions which includes 6 different languages.

In the UK the console is currently available in two colours; Wine Red and Dark Brown. In Japan there was an additional Natural White colour although I'm not sure what was natural about it. It's undoubtable that there will be more colours released over the coming months.

As the console itself is larger there is more room for a battery. This means that despite the size of the screens, the battery actually last longer than on the previous console.

The Nintendo DSi XL has several new features which could persuade people who are unsure about upgrading but by far the main attraction is the screen size. If you're a fan of big TVs or computer screens, this console maybe for you.
