Nokia's BIG surprise?

WARNING, THIS IS ANOTHER LONG POST!

As most of us phone maniacs know, Nokia has not been releasing flagship phones for quite some time that could really amaze us. Well, this is the year, mates *smile*
Nokia is planning something big to compete against iPhone and the rising OS, Google Android. You guys should have a look at Android 2.0 and 2.1 interface, it looks so breath-taking *zips mouth*

Anyway, what I have known so far, Nokia announced a new cool feature called Mobile Radar.
That basically means that you can measure an object's distance and speed, offering the chance to tell how fast a car is travelling.

 

Nokia also offered free navigation with Nokia Ovi Maps, how cool is that?

We can use it anytime without paying a single cent, so no worries!

No more getting lost! Love it!

Here's a funny video regarding the free service.

Based on official announcements, Qualcomm joined Nokia not long ago. And that is a very very great co-op to produce a very fast mobile, I can't imagine what Nokia would be able to do with a powerful processor by Qualcomm known as Snapdragon, wow!!

Snapdragon processor is a very popular platform and is used in phones like Toshiba TG01 smartphone, HTC HD2, Nexus One, SE Xperia X10 and HTC Desire. This processor boasts a speed of 1GHz for now. That is so so fast for a mobile phone, imagine a mobile phone being lagg-free, that would solve our miseries *laughs*

Recently, Qualcomm created a chip that uses 2 CPU cores that run up to 1.5GHz and would be expected to be in use by mobile devices by 2nd half of 2010 *excited*

Anyway, Nokia has set new series for the releases of their products.

Say goodbye to XpressMusic and Classic Series because we won't be seeing them anymore, as claimed by them.

Series :

C - lower end voiced-based

X - focus on entertainment, music for a young target

E - dedicated to business, solutions for e-mails

N - high-end

S - very upscale and limited editions

Some known and rumoured releases are C3, C5, C6, X10, N920, N87/VASCO and N98

Here are some of the C5 pictures that I found.

 

The C5 is just a basic business phone with GPS. Packs a 3.2 mp camera, very simple phone actually. This phone is expected to be released by June, not in Malaysia of course.

And this is the rumoured N98 

Looks so much like N97, except that it's in green now. Not my type *faces away*

There's another rumoured phone called N87 or with the code name VASCO that might be released.

Lets see whats the VASCO has:

World’s First HD Mobile Computer with 12MP Carl Zeiss optics

Social Internet all in one view

•Dolby Digital Plus surround sound with compatible home theather systems. With up to 5.1 channels of premium-quality surround sound

GAMES

•Java games

•Dolby Digital Plus surround sound with compatible home theather systems. With up to 5.1 channels of premium-quality surround sound

•Flash lite 4.0 support enabling usage of major web video services available in the internet

Dimensions
Volume: 86 cc
Weight: 135 g
Length: 113.5 mm
Width (max): 59 mm
Thickness (max) 12.9 mm

•Form factor: Touch screen monoblock
•Protocols: WCDMA 850/900/1700/1900/2100 and GSM/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900
•Display: 3.5” OLED, capacitive touch screen, widescreen 16:9 nHD with (640*360 pixels) 16M colors
•Processor speed: 680MHz

•USB 2.0 High Speed,
•Memory: 256MB RAM, 512 ROM
•User Memory: 140 MB internal

Looks superb, right? Very powerful camera and video recorder but I'm just worried about the phone's performance, 680MHz wouldn't be enough to support these features, the phone might be slow, gosh. They better implement the Snapdragon, on the double!

This is another rumour, and many claimed that it's fake, it's Nokia X10. Don't get confused with SE's Xperia X10, they are different.

Here are the specs :

• Slider with QWERTY keyboard
• Multiple homescreens with auto rotation
• 600 MHz ARM Cortex A8 CPU
• 3.2” AMOLED capacitive touchscreen
• 32/16GB internal storage
• 256 MB of RAM
• HSDPA, Wi-Fi, A-GPS
• 5 mpx camera with LED flash

Lastly, Nokia released a new operating system named Symbian ^3.
It is really impressive, as in the controls and all. However, the interface doesn't seem as attractive as Google Android's operating system. Personal opinion and preferences.

Here's some of Symbian^3 snapshots

  

 

I watched this video and it's when I thought that Symbian ^3 improved a lot from their previous interface. Thumbs up!!

I guess that's all I'm excited about Nokia *laughs*

They have released a booklet too, but I'm more into Alienware.

I pray that Nokia releases many great and quality phones so that Nokia will never fail to surprise and impress us users, I'm looking forward to what Nokia will do this year. *getting hype*

Hope you enjoy the post, especially Nokia fans!

Busy for CNY!!

People, it will be a very busy week for me, so I'm going to stop blogging momentarily until CNY is over. Since Valentine and CNY is on the same day, that doubles my work, thus I'll be busier. And now that I'm having a part time job which is a 9 hour daily job, make it triple.

Sorry guys, I will update ASAP once all these are over.. I wish you all Chinese New Year in advance and also a great Valentine's Day for you lovely couples out there, have fun!

I Was Late...Again..

Man, morning was such a rush.. as usual.. But..
I woke up at 9.30am today, OMG!!
By 9.36am, I received a sms from my supervisor asking me why I have not reached Quiksilver yet *nervous*

At first, I thought my work begins at 10am since my shift was 10am-9pm, I seriously didn't know that I had to reach there by 9.30am to do cleaning as well. So I just calmly replied : 'I 10am today la.'

Her next reply was quite fierce, I think. Maybe I'm just sensitive. She said that it's considered as morning shift and that I had to come by 9.30am. She then said that this isn't my 1st day of work and that I should know this.
I felt so embarassed and sorry, so I rushed my way to work with a quick bath and not being able to have my breakfast *sad*

As I arrived, quickly put my stuffs at the store, then do the cleaning. Wiped the glass panels to remove the fingerprints and etc, swept Quiksilver while Kak Lin swept the other half at Roxy's. *grateful*
I spent most of the time using the steamer to iron the new apparels which arrived not long ago. At least, that kept me occupied till it's break time!

Today's break was something that I was looking forward to, going to market to eat!
Since my girl couldn't join me since she was in noon shift, I went to 'tapao' instead. I became the delivery boy too, I 'tapao-ed' for the crew members too as they were craving for 'tau-fu-fah'. Worse of all, I had to do it alone *sob*
Well, I hurriedly left ECM, find a nice parking spot at the market, and do my 'shopping'.
Bought 5 packets of 'tau-fu-fah', keropok lekor, pisang goreng, 'chee-chong-fun', and leong cha. I tell you, my hands were full!
Time was envy, only left with 25 minutes, RUSH!!
When I reached back to ECM, only 15 minutes left, I had to eat my 'chee-cheong-fun' and 'tau-fu-fah' very fast. I bought my babe the same thing too and left her some of my leong cha so she won't get heaty *smile*

After break time, I was back to ironing the clothes and serving the customers. Foong Xin also talked to me about Annual Dinner, man I missed that! It must have been so so fun to meet everyone who works in Quiksilver and Roxy Malaysia!
The best part was that the event was held at Grand Millenium! (correct me if I'm wrong)

My babe had her break with her friends, I hoped she enjoyed her meal that I tapao for her from the market. She works at Levi's by the way, you can check her out there *smile*

Night time, it was near to 9pm, met this customer who really made me laugh, LOL!

Me : Hi welcome!

Customer walks towards jeans section and observe the jeans..

Me : Setiap jeans Quiksilver ader RM88 rebate
Customer : Ya kah? Baik-baik..

Customer eye-ing on the straight cut jeans called Matador..
Customer's friend just standing there doing nothing but carrying his shopping bag.

Customer : Ader saiz 33 ker?

Me checking for sizes..

Me : Sorry ya, tak der saiz 33, biasanya saiz seluar sini ader 30,32,34 dan 36 jer.

Customer : Adui, saya saiz 32 jer sebenarnya. I nak saiz 33 kerana saya perasan saiz Quiksilver, dia kecil sikit.

Me : Oh I see.. Apa kata awak cuba saiz 34 dulu? Ambil saiz 32 sekali, tengok yang mana lebih sesuai bagi awak.

Customer : Ah, tapi saya saiz 32 jer, mana boleh 34?

Me : Kan awak kata saiz Quiksilver kecil sikit bagi u? Mungkin saiz 34 boleh la.

Customer's friend laughs, made me laugh too.

Me showing customer the way to the fitting room. Customer's friend holds customer's shopping bag for him.
Customer tries on the jeans and comes out.

Customer : Ketat la..

Me : Maner 1 ketat? 32?

Customer : Bukan, 34..

Customer's friend and I burst out laughing!

Me : Dah, tadi awak kata awak sebenarnya saiz 32, naper pulak saiz 34 tak leh?

Customer : Bukanlah, bahagian kaki ketat..

Customer pulls the shirt and showed tummy..
Customer's friend and I still laughing.

Customer : Mereka kata lepas lama pakai, selepas cuci, semakin ketat.
Me : Semakin lama u pakai, semakin longgar, ok la tu. Ni masih baru lagi, kira stok baru ni.


Me feeling awkward because customer and me have different sources.

Customer : Ya kah? Saya pernah beli ni, sama jer. Cutting dan model sama jer. Jadi, ini bukan baru sangat.

Me : Kalau macam tu, apa kata awak ambil yang lain? Takkan nak beli yang sama?


Customer : Saya nak yang ni jugak. Jeans yang saya beli tu, tailor saya buat sampai tak ngam, rosak dah.

Customer's friend and me burst out laughing again!
Customer's friend teased customer.


Customer : Macam ni, saya kena cari jalan la, tengok perut ni.

Three of us laughing!

Customer : Ok la, boleh la ni.

Goes back to fitting room to change to his outfit.

Man, it was seriously funny. First, he said that he is just of size 32, but when he tried on size 34, he still think it's tight, LOL!!
I really enjoyed the last minutes of work before we end business hours. I worked till 10pm instead, love it there with customers around *smile*
At the same time, I wanted to see my girl after her work too, so I just work to past time.
Before closing time, Nik and I recalled the past as she said that I like working at Quiksilver. Well, it's true that I like working there, we helped with the renovation and I had wonderful memories there. They are all good to me and I like the crew a lot *smile* 


She didn't see me when she left Levi's *sob*
She headed to the entrance immediately without even looking anywhere else.
I blame that on myself for not telling her that I'll be there. I didn't even call her name out, I just see her going to the entrance. Oh well, at least she's safe, that was one of the few reasons I was there for.


That ends my day, it's normal but at least I enjoyed doing 'shopping' at the market and I had nice customers that made me laugh today, LOL!!


Night people!
Sorry for the long post~ *zips mouth*
