Zapp, Cosmote si ZTE

Ipoteze: 1. HSPA+ de la ZTE la Cosmote Grecia si Zapp / Cosmote Romania (centrala si terminale furnizate de ZTE) 2. Deutsche Telekom este la un mic pas de a mai cumpara cele putin procente din Ote care sa ii permita preluarea Cosmote. 3. Huawei a prins deja contracte cu Orange si Vodafone 4. ZTE are nevoie uriasa de piata Concluzie: ZTE are o mare ocazie sa prinda un contract cu DT cel putin pe termen mediu, asa ca vor arata ca pot mai mult decat pot.

Zapp si Cosmote fac upgrade de date 3G+ in Bucuresti si in Atena

Zapp a anuntat azi upgrade-ul retelei UMTS la 3G+, disponibil cu inceputul lunii septembrie in Bucuresti. Viteza de download va fi de 21.6 Mbps, echivalentul in “user experience” a unei viteze de aprox 2 MB/s, iar cea de upload de 5.8 Mbps, echivalentul a aprox 500 KB/s. Viteza HSPA+ a unui modem 3G (mobil) poate depasi viteza media a unei linii ADSL si se apropie de media de viteza a unei conexiuni “low end” pe fibra optica.

Message for NOKIA: AppGiveaway.com allows iPhone developers to get some free publicity

IntoMobile was reporting today that iPhone developers and publishers can benefit of free promotional communication using http://www.appgiveaway.com/ system. This is one shy try, of course, but it’s an obvious sign that Apple is thinking the right thoughts towards its customers and developers. I bet some “major world leader mobile hardware manufacturer” can watch and learn from these “little companies” being now “on the big wave”. If not, our “world leader mobile manufacturer” will quickly become a “huge company” riding “the smallest wave”…

Nokia steering wheel, CTGK hand made solution

The idea of a new idea - Symbian^2

It’s only after this Symbian release when Nokia will realise they’ve either fucked up or caught up with others. If the new Symbian is just a gradual improvement and not a qualitative one, then they can begin packing. The real hard part consists in them knowing this. These old timers need younger blood in their veins. This means Nokia needs to get rid of all those accountants yelling: “We are losing money if we don’t catch up!

Nokia's touch OS was born retarded

1. I was looking some minutes ago at HTC Hero . Some days before I was looking at iPhone’s SIMs . 2. Now, Symbian Foundation announced yesterday its future Symbian ^2 ,whose beta will be released in couple of weeks. 3. Today, Nokia UK CEO stated his “confidence” N97 will overtake iPhone 3GS, possibly as a reaction to some “rummors” in the market studies saying the other way around… Fighting back, in PR, is always a sign of weakness.

Nokia vs Apple...vs Google

Today, Teo over Symbian-Freak was shy to quote Generator saying they predict Apple will overcome Nokia by 2013. Generator’s main reason is vertical development of iPhone (customer oriented) and Apple Store (opened to developers) as the best premises for much a healthier business than Nokia’s. They did not pay enough attention to Google, who’s main assets are search results and free code, which are even better than a well made store… Posted by Wordmobi

Manowar LIVE in Bucharest and N97 LIVE streams comparison

“Manowar was here” is what I should engrave on my N97. Extraordinary live performace last night in Bucharest (5th of July), although there were some hiccups: 2 high voltage generators were burnt in the first 20 mins (yeah, I know, it’s Manowar!) While the stuff members were trying to fix those generators, DeMaio had a small… well, stand-up in … Romanian. The main message was: “we know where we are (Bucharest, not Budapest, as Metallica screwed it up in ’99) and we know where are we heading for.

Nokia N97 new firmware means crashes

I hoped first N97 FW update to solve some issues. Instead, it brought some more and critical ones. Like system crashes… Since last night when I’ve updated the FW, I’ve had 3 crashes: 2 when browsing (some buffer overflow, I guess) and 1 in Ovi Contacts. I’m sick and tired of amateurish approach, not to mention haste and superfluence. I’ll post a bit later some bugs, issues and disapointments regarding N97 software and logic.
