SONY ERICSSON XPERIA ARC : the Slimmest


The Xperia Arc is certainly a large handset but still quite comfortable to hold and lightweight. It runs a 1 GHZ scorpion Processor with the Adreno 205 GPU got accelerating games and video Playback. The LED backlit display sports a 480 x 854 Pixel Resolution that's high enough to make colours  seriously stand out. It doesn't Have a hot swap slot for the microSF which could be an issur for some, however 320 MB of internal storage is available for apps. Sony Erisson has included the TimeScrape UI option and widget for simultaneously updating your Twitter and FB view all your Message, people's updates on FB/Twitter and New calls/messages form this one vertical scrolling interface.

The native audio player with its few EQ presets managed to dish out audio quite well . Tones, although slightly jarring on full volume were still decently well balanced. The Arc does not support DIVX or XviD video Codecs out of the box. So you'll have to download and use a third party media player from the android market. The Arc is well equipped for connectivity form 3G, standard EDGE/GPRS,WiFi with DLNA compatibility and tethering 8 megapixel camera is ccompanied by an LED flash that's quite handy in low lit areas.However the quality of immages shot was quite average especially in low Light.

The Arc's 1500 mAh battery serves it well. It lasts for a little over two days with Moderate usages. 
For it Price it should have offered more features such as Dual-Core CPU, Larger Screen and More Storage Space.



FOR:Smooth user Interface,Good audio Quality

AGAINST: No Divx and MKV supports

Blackberry-Bold-9900



The BlackBerry Bold 9900 looks like the Bold 9000, but is thinner and slightly smaller. He looks very serious and is built like a tank. Button position is a little different, but can be customized according to your preferences.


The 9900 is equipped with a 2.8 inch, 640 * 480 pixels capacitive touchscreen, which is accurate and responsive.The phone is powered by a 1.2 GHz processor, 768 MB RAM and has 8GB of internal memory expandable up to 32 GB via micro SD.There also supports NFC.


With the new Blackberry 7OS, the 9900 was a dream to use. MP4, AVI, 3GP, WMV and MOV works well and plays up to 720p. The camera is the same as the 5-megapixel fixed focus used in 9780, but now supports up to 720p video recording. Photos Clicked were correct in the right light and the colors are well reproduced.


RIM should have gone to the 1500 mAh battery instead of the 1230 mAh one. After 1.5 hours of talk time, 2 hours of free Wi-Fi streaming, the battery was on standby for 6.5 hours before giving up. Blackberry honors is top-of-the-line brand iconic GRAS.


Positive

Great looks , Good Performance, Responsive Touch Screen


Against

Could have Used Larger battery, Blackberry OS7 has some Compatibility Issues.

SOCIAL TOOL : Tweetdeck , Improves Twitter Experience !

Twitter can be a confusing mess. Once you've started following 10 or more people,it becomes really difficult to keep up with all the updates.. the further you scale up the less practical it becomes it becomes to read every single post, and then of course important information might slip past undetected.Even worse,some people post updates constantly and searches for real-time news,which twitter excels at update far too quickely to be read . Twitter allows users to create list in order to filter users, but the website interface is clunky at best.

The solution lies in separating Twitter as as service from its own website.If it wasn't for mobile phone clients,we'd never have the kind of real time updates and photo sharing that we do today. Similarly,dozens of third party clients exist for the desktop,which improve upon the default experience in some way.




Tweetdeck's genius feature is the organization of Twitter lists columns that are displayed simultaneously and can be read at a glance. You can also quickly create and edit lists, allowing you to weed out people who spam your timeline and cultivates those whose posts are genuinely useful . Search results are displayed in their own columns, which can easily be left visible or knocked off when they aren't useful anymore. Most importantly you can immediately see when you have new mentions and direct messages, which are easy to miss on the Actual Twitter page.

Tweetdeck have completely changed the way of using Twitter.More than twitter itself , Tweetdeck have Improved the way Twitter works.
