Phone Reviews: Search Before Buy!

As promised, non-technical users will be accommodated by my blog, thanks for some readers who emailed me and request for non-technical views of mobile phone, most of them never understand any technicalities.

Most mobile phone users use to search the phone they want to buy or either surf to a review site that other users have experience about the phone, or either get a feedback to their friend. Never rely to a home site of any product, for of course they will write all about the good features of the phone and set aside the negative feedback of users. They will post updates, yes via software, but what about hardware issues? 

Lets us take an example of a Nokia N79, a mid high end unit. User's experience a keypad hang or failure of this phone, but how to deal with this problem need a skill somewhat like a cellphone technician. Ordinary users of course will not try to repair itself, the only thing you can do is check your warranty and let the unit be replace from your seller.

 Here is my post about that unit N79. Never try if your not skilled to do it, look for a technician.

What about i-Phone 4's "antennagate" issue? This is the new released Verizon 4.

As qouted according to iLounge when they test the unit.

The CDMA iPhone 4 can still lose substantial cellular signal strength when held in the prior “death grip” position, as well as Wi-Fi signal when held in a different position, in each case noticeably slowing or completely stalling the reception of data.

The problem with Wi-Fi reception appears when the device is held snugly in landscape orientation with two hands, a position common when playing games or using the widescreen keyboard. Prior to the Verizon iPhone 4’s launch, sources told iLounge to be on the lookout for the issue, which was being referred to as the “death hug.” It should be noted that although early Apple-sanctioned reviews of the Verizon iPhone 4 claimed that the antenna problems had been fixed in the CDMA model, the same reviewers failed to notice the antenna problems in their original coverage of the GSM model.
