The Nokia Lumia 610 Coming soon from Smart

I visited the Jump center yesterday to see if they already have the Lumia 710 unit tester and yes they do already have the 710 but to my surprise among the 6 phones in the counter only 5 are Lumia 710 and the other one was the Lumia 610. The color of the unit was color magenta and it looks a like with the Lumia 710 except that the 610 has a capacitive keys unlike the 710 that has a common buttons for the Back, home and search keys.

Also the Lumia 710 and 610 has the same 3.5mm jack and Micro USB port on top of the device the difference is that the 610 lock/unlock button is not located on top of the device but it is located near the volume rocker unlike the 710 which is located on top of the device beside the Micro USB port and the 3.5mm jack.

On the Performance I could say that both of this phone performed well, aside from the fact that 710 has a higher Processor with 1.4GHz compared to the 800MHz of the 610.

On the camera Both unit have 5MP camera that takes not the best photos but they shoot good photo quality,(I am a Nokia N8)

On messaging part is cool you go your own text balloon already when you start keying your message, also the QWERTY keyboard is no that hard to use.

Those where some of the features that I have tried with the Lumia 610 and 710.

All in all the Lumia 610 is a nice Mid range WP7 Nokia Phone though it is not as smart as the Lumia 800 or 700 it has its own charm that separates it from other WP7 phone in the market.

It will soon be released maybe this coming May.

Also watch out for the release of the Lumia 710 and 800 from Smart and Globe this April.

So that's it for now, I will give more updates about this soon so keep posted.

First Year Anniversary of the Big Fat Bee Blog

Last year I started blogging though unlike other blogger that share what is happening to them, what is the in and out of fashion, their extravagance experience, socialization, etc. My blog though for the past year contained mostly promotion of Magazines like FHM, Cosmopolitan, Metro, Preview, Playboy, etc. because I want everyone who reads my blog also read those magazine since I believe those magazines can teach them somehow and somethings.

I blog not because I want to earn from it but because I want to share something to people who read my blog and also since I am a mass Communication student I want to practice my writing skills. I hope you my readers will continue to support and read my posts :D

And as I begin the new chapter of my blog here is the new logo of my blog, I was thinking of changing the name of my blog from Big Fat Bee to Big Fat Buzz but I decided that No I will stick with my original name because I was known for being the Big Fat Bee.

Again thank you so much for the support and watch out for a more exciting Blog this year.

The New iPad

Apple announces their newest product from the iPad line.

The New iPad sports a Retina Display screen with a resolution of 2048 x 1536 that shows the images Crisper and clearer than the 2 iPads on the market , also The New iPad has a 5MP iSight Camera that lets you capture image in HD and also let you record video upto 108p HD Video and also The New iPad also has the newest chipset the A5x with a 1GHz processor, also The New iPad does not only support wifi and 3G but also it is now a 4G LTE capable device. The rest is also the same with the other ipads and also The New iPad is running a iOS 5.1 and also it is thicker with 9.7mm compared to the 8.8mm of the iPad 2.

I just have one concern about this product, Apple named it "The New iPad" but if they release the iPad 3 will this iPad still be called "The New iPad", By the way there is still no exact date of its arrival here in the Philippines, lets wait when will Globe and Smart release "The New iPad"
