E overthrown N from his kingdom?

Once upon a time, in a galaxy far far away, well, there was a Finnish mobile phones manufacturer who had mainly three smartphone series: Nseries, Eseries and numbered devices. Of these three, Nseries were the biggest hits: handsets that everyone coveted, that were considered to be the culmination of technology, with state-of-the-art multimedia creation and consumption capabilities. Facing these, was another category of specialized devices, Eseries, that were aimed at business users and basically offered less cutting-edge hardware and a stripped down software version without all the nifty multimedia adds, but which in counterpart had phenomenal battery life, a better build quality, and some quirks in terms of Microsoft Office and Exchange support. Numbered devices were somehow on the hinge between these two, bringing a few specials here and there (like the Navigator line) but nothing special and common to glue the different models together.


Then kaboom, the fairytale ended. Many factors contributed to the Nseries demise: the launch of the iPhone and Android, as well as the Samsung comeback, but it was essentially an internal mistake where Nokia failed to launch a true successor to the N95 in time to keep the momentum going. The industry started catching up with the N95 steadily, while Nokia struggled on improving the multimedia package and launching a new line of Ovi services. Two years and a catastrophic N96 later, the N97 and N86 came out, but it was admittedly one year too late for the N. Users looking for cutting edge multimedia creation had found a new leader in Samsung, those looking for multimedia consumption easily headed down the iPhone path, and those who got sick of waiting went for Android. Come to think of it, Nseries are now for those looking for a balanced experience between multimedia creation and consumption and are still loyal to either Symbian or Nokia as brands.

While N was battling for oxygen, another division of the company was finally getting into immense success. The E51 paved the way, but it was the unbelievable success of the E66 and E71 that put a crown on Eseries (more than 5 million E71 units sold to date). Something had clicked inside the Eseries team and what were once bulky, ugly, slow devices with a stripped-down software, became slim, classy, snappy handsets with a huge set of specialized UI improvements. That same series that regular customers didn’t even give a second look and many avoided like the plague 2 years ago, turned around to become a highly consumer friendly line. But the team didn’t stop there, they took that winning formula and pushed it again in the E75, and recently the E52,E55 and E72. The results showed up in the numbers, where the 2nd quarter of 2009 was the first time Eseries sales surpassed Nseries (4.7 vs 4.6 million devices sold), but can also be seen a lot more clearly when you walk down the street.

Take Lebanon for example, a country whose population is seriously loyal and committed to the Nokia brand. Whereas I had seldom seen anyone carry an E61, E66 or E90, I came back after one year to see the E71, E66 and E75 in the hands of everyone on the street, from the grocery shop employee to the owner of the most important satellite company in the country. Add to that almost all of my friends who either have moved to Eseries, either are planning to.

So is E the new N? In terms of popular success, I’m betting my left kidney on that, and my right one on the fact that it’ll stay this way for a while. The Eseries managers have found a secret recipe of size, style, speed, efficiency and most importantly price, and they are not planning on letting it go. Their direct competitors, namely RIM, have made incredible progress in terms of hardware and software but are still cramped by a limited worldwide availability and an expensive email service, whereas their second competitors, HTC, are struggling with an archaic Windows Mobile interface and an even more limited global presence.

It might not be long before other companies take a lesson out of the E success recipe, but until then, E is the series that has redefined business and efficiency just like N redefined multimedia in the last years. It’s now the new N, the new “gotta-own” device with incredible popular success and no direct worldwide competitor.

The death of JACKO

This morning around 7.30 am i heard the news about the death of Michael Jackson a.K.a king of pop a.K.A Jacko...and it was like "ooohhh...what the ****, the king of POP already left the building??!?!?!?!" then i was watching the whole news and get the newest update about the anonymous caller, whose happen to call the 911 asking an assistance for jacko in his house, whose heart happen to stop beating..and the man did said that the private doctor in the house already performing some CPR, but the king of pop himself still unconscious...and then the paramedics come and very unfortunately the king of pop himself was passed in the ambulance before reaching the UCLA Hospital....
Sigh....actually i was waiting for his coming performance whose happen to be in London’s O2 arena in March 2010. and was totally looking forward to it, but yeah, who knows that the king already left the building too fast at the age of 50.....
as one of his fan, i just want to say "another king already left the building and we're just happen to be at the bad side of the world and all we can do now is remembering those days where he's still on his golden years by buying his album"
Goodbye Jacko, we always remember you as the most phenomenal person in music industries and the super legend with all those awards that you earn through your music careers...

New Iphone?

so today i just receive the email, which coming from apple that tell me about the new Iphone S...which sound weird for me since they have an "S" at the back of the name..which tell me that maybe they do have some improvement from the old iphone 3G, maybe some faster browsing or bigger storage capacity,thus very important for people like me whose like to watch some movies or music videos on their iphone on the go.

so this it the email which apple sent me:



so that's the new iphone...when you check the price listed maybe you're going to cry, since they offer the new iphone 3g in lower price compare to the old iphone 3g which they sold around $399 (8GB) and $499 (16GB)....

that's all for the new iphone 3Gs

PS: im going to get myself this new iphone 3Gs, so you should get one too..


in and out.

Headache...yet still posting some random stuff

uhh,headache, yet..im still posting some crap into this blog o' mine..
yeah, today was raining, and yet with my headache i bring myself into one of the nearest starbucks to chill down...noo and no..it's not because my i-net connection was down. I was searching for some new place to hangout while drink some nice and chilled coffee while keeping my head from explode caused by my stupidity to not getting a proper sleep...duh.....when im thinking over and over again what i was doing that night?.....totally forgot....=_="

Grand Theft Auto 4

...think that I already forgot about this blog, but not really? Since I still remember the user name and the password on it...hahaha...

Anyways. Today I just got my own original copy of Grand Theft Auto 4 that I bought from Malaysia through some of my "subordinates"..looks cool huh?

sub ordinates, like the one used by the mafia bosses..hahaha

 

 

So right now i was just playing it and do some shit and just found that some of the game play wasn't really that compromising, like the one you see on the major game review like GameSpot. Overall I see the gameplay itself it's quite improved with some major change in the graphic and the user interface make it's a good game, but the saddest part that I found in this major game is that the BUG…BUG…BUG...Yeah you heard it BUGS….it's a lot bugs everywhere in the game especially the Drunk camera that some of you found when you're playing the game for the first time..It's quite annoying but since there's already patch for it released by rockstar games, so it wasn't a big problem for now...In this game you're Niko Belic a Russian Sociopath whose new to America trying to make a life there, with the helps from his cousin. Enough with the chit-chat...the most important thing if you want to play this game smoothly I recommend if you get a better processor and a good graphic card, because this game is a resource-consuming game, also don't forget to get an additional RAM (if you're using 2GB only) to play this game….

Oh yeah, this is the Pc specification that I used to play game on

Intel E6700

Geforce 8800GTX

Corsair Dominator 4GB (2GB pair x2)

USB XONAR soundcard

..that's all folks..
