Nokia Lumia 710 @ available for pre-order at Wirefly, priced at zero

0 comments
As we have already mentioned before, the Nokia Lumia 710 is to land in T-Mobile stores on January 11, which is exactly six days from today. The mid-range Windows Phone handset will be priced at the reasonable $50, assuming you do not mind the 2-year contract that comes along with it. However, there is already a way of getting the smartphone for even less than that.


Online retailer Wirefly currently has the Nokia Lumia 710 available for pre-order, and its price is pretty tempting. The smartphone is available for free with a 2-year contract, or for $360 if you do not wish to sign a new agreement with T-Mobile. What your money gets you is a Windows Phone handset with a 3.7-inch display, 1.4GHz CPU, 8 gigs of on-board storage, and a 5-megapixel camera on its back. Sounds like a fair deal, doesn't it?

HTC’s Q4 2011 @ decline Could continue in early 2012

0 comments
HTC made its unaudited consolidated quarterly results official this morning and the dip in revenue and profits is just as expected. Net income dropped 26% to NT$11 billion or around $364 million, which is the first quarterly decline for HTC’s fairy tale business in two years.

HTC falls short of analysts’ predictions with its net income after tax amounting to NT$11.02 billion, while the forecasts averaged NT$11.6 billion.

After publishing the results, the company’s shares dipped 4.2% reaching a three-week low of NT$462 in Taipei. Citigroup cut its outlook for the company and now expects 19% lower earnings for HTC in 2012 and 2013.

Recently, HTC has focused on varying its existing models rather than bringing major changes and its industrial design as good as it is seems repeated. The company’s HTC Sensation flagship for example has seen numerous reworks, often with minor changes like a different paint job or better audio.

HTC�s Q4 2011 decline could continue in early 2012
Samsung and Apple in contrast have been very successful and eating HTC’s share. Samsung covers all segments of the smartphone market and is well represented in low-end phones, while HTC has been hesitant to make a move there. Apple has also seen extremely good reception to its iPhone 4S, another factor that might have contributed to weaker HTC sales.

Interestingly, Swiss bank UBS sees hope for HTC only after MWC in late February when the company is expected to bring its biggest guns. Still, it’s operating profit could drop to 9.2% from the current 12.8%. After MWC, HTC is expected to get re-evaluated, but could the Taiwanese company surprise us with something at CES? The company is reportedly planning less but more effective announcements this year, so stay tuned to find out.

10 Reasons @ Why Galaxy Is Better Than iPhone 4S!!

10 Reasons Why Galaxy Is Better Than iPhone 4S 
1) Display: Samsung Galaxy Nexus comes with a gigantic 11.8-cm (4.6-inch) capacity HD wide screen as compared to Apple iPhone 4S which adorns a 8.9-cm (3.5-inch) display with 640 x 960 pixels resolution. Galaxy Nexus comes with the Super AMOLED HD display and delivers superior colour, enhanced readability and reduces power consumption. Samsung has shared this capability with the recently launched Galaxy Note only. The 720P HD resolution enhances the experience of viewing HD videos, playing games, browsing the Web, reading e-mail and reading e-books. Users don’t need to scroll constantly because they get higher resolution as unlike in Apple’s iPhone 4S.
2) Screen: When it comes to the screen sizes, layout and customisation, Android smartphones are a step ahead of iPhone. Samsung has given Galaxy Nexus a reconfigurable Widget Size which allows the users to put all the folders to the main toolbar. Apart from the built-in Gmail and Calendar widgets, users are allowed to customise the layout of most widgets simply by dragging and dropping to to fit them the way they want the home screen to look.
