What you Thought about Nokia Made in China

Tell me.. When you hear of a product that is Made in China. What goes through head?

"Fake", "Knock Offs", "Cheap", "Low Quality"

These are the most stereotype words when you hear a Made in China product..

I myself got a little annoyed when Nokia limits exporting phones Made in Finland to the US. A lot of the US version Nokia phones these days are Made in China.

The immediate thought that goes through my head is "Their probably have contractors in China that makes their phones. Sort of like Foxconn which is hired by Apple to make their iPhone.

Sounds kind of cheap right? Products not really made by the Manufacturer but actually hired Contractors to do it.

Nokia has proven me wrong again.. Take a look at this video..


All I can say is WoW.. This has change my vision towards Nokia Made in China. Hope yours too..

Now stop it with the Gotta be Made in Finland crap!! A Nokia is Nokia.. Just better watch out for "NIKIA" or "NOKLA"

Nokia Unboxing Experience

Hello Again Folks.. Its me GWAPZ once again with an Unboxing Video..

Really.. Really.. Apologize for the long layoff.. I've been in and out and very busy with work and family errands.

As for the Mobile side of world.. I've been invited by WOM World Nokia to take part of a challenge called Nokia Unboxing Experience which I did not hesitate to turn down. You know these guys are full of surprises.

Let me also give a shoutout and thanks to my assigned Team Members to this Challenge. Without you guys I would never have figured out the code by myself. lolz

Mike Macias from E71Fanatics.com

Trent Smith from TRENTSENSE

Nick Marshall from Cellfanatic

Well anyhow without further interruption..

Here is my Nokia Unboxing Experience.. (Very Unique and One of a Kind Experience..)




Hope you like my Video.. As you can see.. Its not shaky anymore as I just got myself a Tripod and of course a new point and shoot camera that I highly recommend the Canon SD780 IS.

Thoughts on the Unboxing.. Very Nice and very unique. Never in my life would I have thought of Nokia delivering a phone inside a fiber glass secured case.

Thought of the day:


More thoughts on the Nokia E72 coming soon and also a comparison breakdown versus the Blackberry 9700.

n97 mini suprise un boxing

Today i was surprised by Dan From womworld a camera man and a Mariachi band, needless to say i was feeding my son at the time, and when we came to the door he was truly surprised which resulted in a few wails from my little 8 month old.
I was handed a N97 mini the latest device from the nseries family and was taken a back by this, I have to say I truly appreciate the efforts of Dan and the Crew from WomWorld for keeping us the bloggers and consumers involved, and asking us for realife life thoughts and opinions.
Below is an unboxing Video of the n97 mini and a full review to follow. This is THETRUTH

N86 vs n97 lowlight shots

Here are a few comparison shots i took to see if the nokia n86 really does perform better than other nseries devices in low light. I pitted the n86 vs the n97 and although the n86 touts a 8mp camera both devices have dual led flash.
Lets take a look at the results and you be the judge to see which one performs better and if Nokia really did what they said in terms of enhancing the low light performance on the n86, feel free to leave your opinion. THETRUTH signing off.

nokia n97 1st Impressions

I am currently trialing the Nokia n97 sent to me from WOM WORLD.

The N97 as a whole is very nice device, I am pleasantly surprised by the speed, and sensitivity of the touch screen. I like the active widgets on the home screen and the build Quality of the device is superb. I have not experienced the buggy issues some have mentioned and happy with battery life so far.

Please keep checking back for a full N97 review and below are some more pics of the device.

Streaming Live TV from your Mobile Device

You probably remember my post last year about Streaming Live TV from your mobile device. I gave a good example on how to watch streaming Live TV through the skyfire browser.

Now this one is different and does not need a web browser to stream live TV video.

All you need is your S60 Real Player application or the Latest Core Player that supports RTSP, and of course RSTP sites.

Here is the procedure:

-Open notepad on PC.
-Copy the specific code/link.
-Then save as .sdp
-Transfer it to your mobile.

Here are some codes/links I found around the web:

Cartoon Network: rtsp://202.146.92.42/CNT_LIVE.SDP (save as CNT_LIVE.sdp)

MTV: rtsp://202.146.92.42/MTV_LIVE.SDP (save as MTV_LIVE.sdp)

CNN: rtsp://202.146.92.42/CNN_LIVE.SDP (save as CNN_LIVE.sdp)

Discovery Channel: rtsp://202.146.92.42/Discovery_LIVE.SDP (save as Discovery_LIVE.sdp)

I have tested these channels on my Nokia N85 and they work flawlessly. I also tested them on my PC using the latest Real Player, they work great but a little grainy as I think they were intended for mobile viewing.

DISCLAIMER: Make sure you have a higher or unlimited data plan. We are not responsible for high/additional charges. If your phone has WLAN, Preferably use it to avoid charges for Streaming data.

To finish up... Here is a video demo that I created..



I hope you enjoyed my post.. Stuff like these really helps me a lot whenever I'm with my daughter as she tends to get bored quickly.

If you have any questions or suggestions please don't hesitate to comment..

Till next time!! gwapz signing off..
