Shopping Spree turned into a Nokia addiction

November 18, 2010 1 comment

Today turned out to be a Nokia day by far, it started with one C7 and didn’t take allot of time for my colleagues to realize that was THE mobile for them, so i ended up playing with 5 C7 during today along side my trusty companion the N8.

It stared with an advice to one of my colleagues at work that he needs to check the C7 before making a decision to switch from his BB curve to BB Torch (YUKKK) it took him 1 picture and 3 lines to fall in love instantly with the Nokia C7 and ordered it on the spot, now GOD is happy of me because i converted one lost soul from BB to Nokia. It was only moments for the rest to follow, with 2 Samsung Wave users recently bought to other Nokia users all fell in love with the C7 and here was the tragedy for me… i had to setup and teach all 5 new comers on the phone but at the end of the day it was pure fun for me.

Now back to the shopping spree, with the holidays around the corner what better time to reward yourself or your loved ones (me for instance :P ) with a valuable gift, 2 choices are available now and 2 others are waving to you in the horizons. Nokia has released in the Lebanese market a while ago successfully the N8 (580$ max with warranty) and this week the C7 also has had an excellent release (450$ max with warranty) both running the fast and responsive Symbian^3, also the E7 and the C6-01 will be released soon expecting also a market take over by the C6-01.

I wont review the devices, many reviews out there to read but we can say for sure that both were sold out from the market in no time, giving Nokia a very strong come back to the Lebanese market improving its leadership again and again. Be sure when buying the devices you get the Nokia Care warranty units.

I dont want to end this article without saying something to my N8 who is sitting next to me watching what i am writing word by word: I love u :D

LG 3D LCD to hit MEA market soon

April 18, 2010 5 comments

The new Infinia category will hit the MEA market soon, the borderless LCD has 3D capabilities and its the world 1st Full LED 3D LCD.

LG’s press release describe the new technology as for our info, the first unit will be in the market by May for people to experience it.

Everywhere you look, walls are coming down. Where once there were boundaries on where people could go, what they could watch and even who they could become, today those limits are increasingly crumbling beneath waves of change, information and choice.

Yet in some aspects of our lives, those barriers remain resolutely in place – not least in how we view the world from our own homes. In a world that so cherishes change and movement, the TV has remained firmly fixed within four borders and two dimensions.  Until now .

With Full LED 3D TV from LG INFINIA, LG breaks through the last remaining barriers of home entertainment. With the world’s first and only Full LED 3D TV, LG takes you to a place where the walls between the real and virtual worlds dissolve – where soccer balls soar toward you, hands reach out to touch you, and animals seem to leap right into your living room. But LG’s 3D TVs break down more than just virtual barriers. As the next step in INFINIA LIVE BORDERLESS™ – LG’s long-term vision for its mold-breaking home entertainment systems – they open up a world of borderless viewing pleasure, where everything is seamlessly linked and a whole new world of possibilities lies ahead.

The World’s First Full LED 3D TV

Transforming the very perception of what television can be, LG’s 3D TV means you won’t just be watching shows and movies – you’ll be part of them. Catching a ride with 3D, you’ll be transported into the thick of the action – the front row of the concert hall, the ringside seat, the middle of the car chase – with effects so real you can almost touch them. But as groundbreaking as it is, 3D technology is only part of the picture. To truly bring the virtual world to life, LG’s 3D comes in Full LED, taking the 3D viewing experience to an entirely different level.

Leading LG’s 3D journey is the LX9500, a remarkable Full LED television available with a 47- or 55-inch screen. On one of the slimmest, most elegant sets on the market, the LX9500’s Full LED technology delivers pictures with striking brightness, brilliant color and clarity you can feel. Along with deep levels of black and a picture rendered silky smooth and blur-free by TruMotion 400Hz, the overall effect is a richer, more captivating 3D experience. Better still, thanks to the INFINIA range’s signature narrow bezel, the LX9500 offers a truly expansive platform for 3D, with pictures that practically burst through the edge of the screen.

“No new technology promises to transform the world of home entertainment like 3D does. More than just an advance, 3D could change the whole way we experience TV, adding so far unknown levels of excitement,” said Simon Kang, CEO and President of the LG Home Entertainment Company. “With its astonishing Full LED picture quality, coming with even more LED chips and unbeatable brightness, LG’s 3D TVs provides the perfect platform for 3D, where people can really be a part of the action. After a few false starts for 3D technology, Full LED 3D TV from INFINIA is the home it has been waiting for.”

What if You Could Stop Watching TV and Start Living It?

Groundbreaking and evolutionary, awe-inspiring yet strikingly real, the LX9500 will take you to the furthest reaches of three-dimensional viewing. Through the amazing spectacle of Full LED 3D and the vast possibilities of its limitless content. LG is tearing down the walls to a new TV viewing experience, where the only constraints are your imagination. With Full LED 3D TV from INFINIA, the future is truly borderless.
