Fallout 3 (PC)

Fallout. That is a name that rings hollow to the ear of many players, but incredible that evokes memories for many others. Fallout therefore, is almost ten years of misery after the release of second album in the series, the closure of Black Isle Studio and misadventures of the license took his time before joining the catalog of Bethesda. While it is undoubtedly one of the last major studios game development role, the creator of Elder Scrolls (including Morrowind and Oblivion) was not necessarily the most obvious tribute to the cynical aspect in the series. Does this mean that the Fallout 3 project did have no chance to achieve something interesting?



Live in autumn!

As was the case in the two previous opus, Fallout 3 starts in a vault ... in other words, shelter antiatomique particularly evolved. While there is rarely reference to that of its predecessors, the universe developed by Bethesda obviously based on the same basis: swept by terrible nuclear explosions, the U.S. has nothing of great power and Washington area is a field of ruins. The vaults were designed in anticipation of such a disaster and their inhabitants would have suffered little, apart from promiscuity implies that such a shelter. ndeed, given the dangerousness of the external environment, it is impossible to enter or exit a vault ... It lives and dies there, but above all, it was born ...


Cleverly incorporated into the adventure, the creation phase of our character begins with the birth of it. No way you spoil the surprise, but simply say that Bethesda has made remarkable things with sex selection, key features and basic skills through a prologue putting our hero new-born young man with for ten years, a nice gift: a pip-boy in 3000 almost nine, but we will. The creation of our avatar made, the adventure can begin and it starts with an event "tragic" but we do know why our father left the complex and the security officers in our research. As a result, we have little choice but to flee, leaving the shelter 101 and find the "Doo-Dah" story of an explanation.

The main objective will thread through the first part of the scenario imagined by Bethesda. No question of revealing the various twists, but it helps guide, players who prefer rails on which to rest. Depending on the level of difficulty, your skill and your speed, it should keep you in suspense a small twenty hours, but it would obviously be a shame not to go "further". Indeed, as the Elder Scrolls saga, the Fallout are role-playing themselves open where the player is almost completely free of its shares. The card is several square kilometers constellation of cities, villages and camps where live all kinds of people.

LG KC550 Mobile Phone

LG introduces its cheapest 5 megapixel camera phone to date, the KC550. The LG KC550 offers all the camera functionality of a top-end 5 megapixel camera phone without the top-tier price tag.

This is LG KC550, the first budget 5-megapixel camera phone from a leading manufacturer. It is a mid-level slider and is equipped with autofocus lens, which places it next to the pretentious camera phones. The manufacturer claims that the model has a fast processor for faster picture viewing and reproduction of videos in DVD resolution (720x480 pixels). In addition, the LG has a built-in TV-out and an accelerometer with which to play the preloaded games

Design

Our first impression of LG's KC550 was that it looked pretty cool - a sleek black slider with a big screen. What's not to like? The design resembles the one of the modern digital cameras and is more convenient for taking pictures than attractive. The materials used to make the phone create a nice feeling of a quality product. Protected by a solid metal sliding cover, the camera is activated when you slide this cover open. To take a picture, you hold the KC550 sideways, as you would a camera, and click a dedicated shutter button -- very straightforward.The keys are flat, well spaced out but a little spongy, although easy to use with no strange anomalies. The rest of the buttons around the phone are where you would expect to see them - volume, camera shutter button, etc, as well as a slot for the microSD and headphones/charger. There is no dedicated 3.5mm socket for music fans.

LG KF510 Mobile Phone

In a price breakdown between 146th - and 299th - € (cell phone without a contract) is the LG KF510. The buyer, which is a comfortable, even visually very nobly acting mobile phone searches, receive an ultra flat slider with an interesting look. EDGE is also on board as a 3-MP camera is available. The operation via touch panel is becoming increasingly popular. LG also gets the buyer a radio with various functions and a Music-/Mediaplayer with many features. We were now curious to see how the KF510 in practice test suggests.

Mozart: The Last Secret (PC)

If we all know Mozart through his works or by the vision that we proposed in Milos Forman "Amadeus" is another fact of the personal that developers Game Consulting we propose to discover. Rarely addressed as a main theme of adventure games, even if it is found frequently as gaming point in the genre, the music here is at the heart of this title. But the adventure would be nothing without mystery and what better way to exploit the trail of freemasonry, which illustrates Order composer belonged. Add a historical trouble, prone to conspiracy and all the ingredients of a good adventure are combined. Alchemy will it take?

He walks Differently?

We meet in Prague in 1788 and Austria Hungary is headed by Joseph II. The latter is the friend, protector and major financier of a certain Mozart. It is in a somewhat delicate, where the Holy Roman Emperor is to undergo a serious military debacle and where minorities seek to recover an identity that our story begins. Mozart, still sleepless, awakens one morning after a restless night by a strange nightmare featuring Joseph II. His first concern is to brighten the ideas and then convince the director of the opera to pay its share on revenue of Don Giovanni who has been a huge success. Contacted by his friends Freemasons, Mozart will quickly find themselves engaged in a conspiracy threatening state security.

Game Consulting offers an adventure game in the style point & click in the third person in everything he can offer classic. We move Mozart by clicking on part of the decor and do run with a double click. As against, it is impossible to move quickly from one area to another and it is often difficult to move from one screen to another because of a very poor detection of transition points. Always on the move, if one wishes to perform a double click to hurry a bit our hero, he once arrived, does not want, forcing them to renew our command. Passing on an interactive element, the cursor changes shape to allow certain actions (dialogue, operate an object, take an object, use an object of the inventory). The inventory at the top of the screen allows you to combine objects between them, but also to separate the elements. A good place for it is never crowded and useless objects disappearing as their use. A newspaper can access the history of the scenario and recall the objectives underway. Finally, the book of harmonics that can be achieved during a game is the source of a series of puzzles based on rituals and secrets of Freemasonry.

Sony Vaio VGN-NR485 Laptop

A Windows Vista Home Premium laptop powered by a 2-GHz Core 2 Duo T5750 and 2GB of RAM, the VGN-NR485 bagged a respectable WorldBench 6 score of 75. That's pretty solid performance for a laptop that stands among the cheapest machines on our current Top 10 All-Purpose Laptops chart (as of 10/29/08). It sells for $849 ($200 more than Toshiba's bargain-basement Satellite Pro L300D-EZ1001V, which the Sony bested by roughly 20 points in WorldBench 6 tests). It has the speed to handle almost any kind of application. The only performance problem we encountered was in our 3D gaming tests, which the VGN-NR485 couldn't run because of its lousy integrated Intel graphics chip.


The 6.2-pound laptop managed to last long enough in our battery life tests. It fell just short of 4 hours (3 hours, 56 minutes), ranking toward the top of the leaderboard. Surpassing this value unit was Lenovo's ThinkPad SL400, which costs $1223 and has an optional high-powered battery; it lasted 5 hours, 8 minutes in our tests as a result of the add-on.


As for features, the 14.2-by-10.6-by-1.5-inch VGN-NR485 packs a fair amount of punch, including dedicated front-mounted SD and Memory Stick slots, four USB ports, and an ExpressCard/34 slot. Typical for a sub-$1000 laptop, the optical drive is a standard (not high-definition) DVD burner. Beneath the stylish navy blue waffle exterior lies an impressively large 200GB hard drive. You can't reach it for upgrades, but barring a failure you shouldn't need to replace it. Though the 15.4-inch screen has a high-gloss finish that tends to reflect overhead lights, it's very bright and has an easy-to-read 1280-by-800-pixel resolution.

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3

Direct extension of the work done first on Dune 2 and Command & Conquer, Red Alert saga has chained the success with no fewer than five titles in five years. However, the war between Allies and Soviets abruptly ended with the release of The Revenge of Yuri in 2001. Having given for every day the fight GDI / NOD to integrate a third faction, Electronic Arts has decided to do the same with Red Alert 3 and the arrival of the Empire of the Rising Sun. While the year 2008 has been very calm decidedly level strategy games real time, the novelty will it be enough to convince us?

Command & Conquer remains very alert
In 1945 and then a trip back in time Ally has already chamberlain history (to eliminate Hitler before he takes power), the Soviets are preparing to do the same: completely cornered, they don ' have no other choice than to try an experiment to eliminate Albert Einstein, the head of the technological advance of the Allies. At first, General Krukov and Prime Minister Cherdenko are delighted by the results of the experiment: in the USSR, the political situation is calmer and Allied military advantage which no longer exists, in theory, the Soviet forces to resume the offensive. In theory because it does not need time to understand that secrecy is a new power emerged on the international scene: the Empire of the Rising Sun.



That is essentially the scenario because the three campaigns in Red Alert 3. Travel through time once again to honor and we can not moreover that the writers have shown great imagination. These three campaigns, one for each faction in the presence (Allies, Soviet and Japanese) is cut into nine missions each, a total of 27 missions for the only scripted part of the game Unlike other titles, it is not necessary to proceed "in order". The player can start with the campaign of his choice, take a break after three missions to tackle another campaign and come back then: the increase is at the discretion of the player, as well as the choice of difficulty level.

Unfortunately, hostilities begin in a little too quiet with the Soviet campaign does not shine by its originality. The scenario here is very classic and twists telephoned to say the least, fortunately saved from missions, certainly no genius, but effective. Developers have called upon the principle of openness of the battlefield which, during the same mission, to grow the map as the success of goals. These are very simple, but just allow everyone to quickly enter the bath. Red Alert 3 remains faithful to here what has made the success of the series Command & Conquer: clear goals, a successful interface and a grip immediately.

While keeping these elements, of course developers have integrated the new foremost mode coop is the most important. If the multiplayer is common in the world of real-time strategy, the cooperative is currently still confidential. Electronic Arts has decided to pull out all the stops to play in all 27 missions of the three campaigns with a friend. The operation of this is quite simple: at the beginning of each mission, we can play solo or coop. To do this, simply connect to the Internet and allow a player to join us. Then, the mission is little more complicated because the two friends took part together in the mission and should accomplish the same objectives in solitary.

Manhunt 2

Surfing the controversy. Curling irreverence, walk the line between bad taste of disgust. Rockstar is customary due. With its GTA series, whose fourth episode reflected as such a mature (or a reluctance?) Quite unusual, the American developer is trying to buy a pipe? Having played Manhunt 2, one might think that yes. Because as surprising as it may seem, the second episode really slice with the first, released in 2003. Five years, so this is the time it took for Rockstar we lay this suite with us. Or rather four, if one considers that in 2008 only served to expunge Manhunt 2 a good part of its controversial content. But rather than draw conclusions too quickly, really see what he has in the stomach.


The guts to air

After the television and adventures of James Earl Cash, hero despite himself a first episode of quality, Rockstar changes a little register with Manhunt 2. We stand Daniel Lamb and Leo Kasper, two characters of the past and personality disorders. Topics of a terrible experience that disrupts their lives, these two characters are related to one another, the plot based solely on their quest for identity and meaning, flashbacks to support. If we do not reveal why the how, just know that the handling Scenarist held for three levels up, and it was clear enough to be very (too?) Quickly. The story as such does not clear the quality of the first opus, particularly intelligent and engaged on a relatively new subject for the time: Reality TV. It was expected to end more from Rockstar, and some sequences well staged pass the pill, it will ultimately do little adventures Lamb and Kasper.

Legendary (PS3 and XBOX 360)

Already convicted by deliberate Turning Point, Spark Unlimited gives cover with a brand new FPS. Atari succeeded Codemasters to follow the studio's creative whims, and that is trembling lest we insert the DVD into the console. A poor series opens up a Pandora's box, and now a string of monsters that invade the planet. That is the starting point of this Legendary, which does not really figure scarecrow at the end of this particularly busy year in large productions.


Legendary yellow ...

Deckard is the name of our unfortunate hero, is manipulated by a person in dark secret that plan also black. He opens a Pandora's box, calmly kept in a museum New Yorkers, and not trigger a whorehouse possible. The griffons roam the heavens, the werewolves invade the streets, killing at cars and passers towers claws. Aided by a secret society, we must restore some order in all this. Without a catastrophic scenario Legendary lack of inventiveness and daring. The use of this rather nice background mixing mythologies is too partial to ourselves until the end, little helped that we are idiots and dialogues dubbed French too much. The staging is not without assets, sometimes well served by making scripts almost credible collapse of civilization. Unfortunately, this dynamic facade quickly gave way to a series of corridors all closer together than others, particularly frustrating in the early hours of Thursday unfolding in the streets of New York. There is not a millimeter of freedom in Legendary.

Samsung has with the soul-phone series full hit. The slider SGH-U900 Soul and the Samsung model SGH-U800 Soul b are very successful.

Decidedly PSP seems to have become the mobile home for the RPG genre. For proof, the games of the machine scratched Sony now hosts Star Ocean: The First Departure, a remake of the first part of the series released in 1996 for Super Famicom.

Until the day when a terrible virus that affects its residents, one by one, eventually turns into stone statues. Faced with this emergency, a trio of young militiamen led by the intrepid Roddick decided to investigate the origins of the virus.

If they are too rare, these animated sequences in any case give a new relief to the history of this first series.

Cyberlink PowerDVD 9

Essential for those who want to watch a DVD or Blu-ray on his Windows PC, even though many other video players can play other video formats for free (and Windows includes the DVD from Vista), PowerDVD continues to evolve as its competitor WinDVD with the release of version 9. On the agenda: the upscaling of DVDs for optimized playback on HD screen, a new full screen interface to control the software with a remote control, a navigation style "CoverFlow" for the chapters, or integration with Windows Media Center ...


DVD playback on a PC is sometimes relegated to the radius "outdated" by some users. Just as we would do more for the idea to insert an audio CD into a computer other than to encode it to MP3, it is clear that the explosion of the capacity of external hard drives has limited interest for some to carry a stack of DVDs with her laptop. However, the reasons to prefer the physical media are still numerous: encode a movie in DiVX can be lengthy, the transaction needs to circumvent protection measures (both places his personal ethic where they wish, but you must know) and offers definitive and legal downloading of films are still poor. Moreover, more portable medium or high-end is equipped with a Blu-ray format now supported by software players like PowerDVD or WinDVD.

Asus Eee PC 1000HE netbook

Asus to be the indisputable record of bringing to market first Netbook: the Eee PC 701 models have long been the only solution available in market. Then, several other manufacturers have tried to collect the opportunities offered by this new and unexplored area of the market. Everything happens for a moment more on the particular economic and the assumption of the low purchase price that has always characterized them, or should characterize, is well accepted by the public.

Several researches reported as Eee PC, this is the brand chosen by Asus for its Netbook, is a brand well known to the public, a synonym of unquestionable success achieved by Asus in this segment. Despite the drop in some large sizes, such as Acer and HP, trap very closely the success of the Eee PC range. It should be noted, however, especially not by a little: while competitors offer a few products Netbook Having thus the main objective of the sales volumes Asus has built a wide range of products.

Over time Asus has proposed solutions with diagonal display with between 7 and 10 inches, has introduced variations in hardware that offers an even wider keyboard, or marketed Eee PC able to differentiate themselves from the crowd: Eee PC S101 is a good example, as well as the recent Eee PC 1008HA or T91.

CoverScout 3 - iTune Album

New to the version 3 release is a new interface that works similarly to Apple's Cover Flow technology, which lets you more intuitively navigate your record collection by providing you with images of each album cover.

CoverScout lets you search sites including Amazon.com, Walmart.com and Google Image Search to come up with matches (you can add additional sources as necessary). Once you've found an image you're happy with, CoverScout lets you rotate, crop, scale and adjust colors. You can also use your iSight to image a rare album cover if you're a collector.

CoverScout 3 has a beautiful interface. It’s dark grey on black and uses, what else, Cover Flow to show what your library looks like. On the right side there is a list of all of your albums. The left portion is where you can see what your albums look like, or more likely, what a stack of giant musical notes looks like.

McAfee Internet Security 2009

Introduction

McAfee has the desktop market share of about one third and is now the second place after Symantec. Although the updates over the years have increased, the detection was always behind and chased McAfee in recent years.

Fortunately for the manufacturer, the security technology is not stopped and there was an in-the-cloud technology developed by McAfee called Artemis. Checksums of PE files into a central server and there are dangerous and safe compared with stocks. One technology that perhaps with some variations by other manufacturers is used. Strangely enough Artemis is not standard in the desktop products from McAfee, but a separate installer executed.

Anyway, just look back. In 2004, for the first time with McAfee Security Center as part of its suite. The security center served as a replacement for the Windows Security Center and was also available as separate download.




Where everything is blue in 2004, was suddenly all red in 2005. And not a little red, very red. Also, the suite is still a virus scanner called VirusScan, Personal Firewall called a firewall, a spam filter called Spam Killer and Privacy Service called parental supervision.

Much is something that is not changed, because even in version 2009, those components still exist. But what is there or just changed? You read in this review.

The latest Codename Panzer has no logical subtitle 'Phase Three', although 'Cold War'. Apparently the developers took the time for renewal in the storyline, and that renewal is that Cold War does not during the Second World War, but in the years after playing. After the Russians in 1949 Berlin isolated, the Western allies organized an air bridge to supply the population. The real history was this good, but in the alternative history of Codename Panzer this action leads to a confrontation between the Western Allies and the Russians. The result is a new world war.

AMD Athlon 7750 & 7550 dual core Phenom

AMD took the opportunity to leave the first triple-core processors on the market: the Phenom X3. The aim was to provide processors that Intel could not produce and must come up position between the dual core and quad core of the American giant. Except that the Phenom X3 can barely compete with the Intel dual-core. And again, AMD has struggled to increase in frequency as the processors the highest clocked Phenom in the family to work at 2.6 GHz.

As for dual-core processors, AMD has considerable ground to be filled. Indeed, the current Athlon 64 X2 are all from the old K8 architecture emerged in 2003 with the first Athlon 64. Worse, the best dual core is the AMD X2 6400 + running at 3.2 GHz but engraved in 90 nanometers! The process of recording in 65 nm was not a real success at AMD with latencies up at the controller and cache memory. In addition, the Athlon 64 65 nanometer have never been equipped with 2x1 MB L2 cache as some models engraved in 90 nanometers, but made do with 2x512 KB of L2 cache. If we add to this the "bug" of the entire memory divider that prevents in many cases the memory to operate at the frequency specified, it is fair to say that the Athlon 64 X2 have many flaws deal with Core 2 Duo Intel Pentium Dual Core. It remains for them but as prices reveals our fight processors, even for the same price, they are beaten like an Athlon 64 X2 6000 + outpaced by a Pentium E5200, yet both in the same price area.

Also on the local network can be approached music, provided that this via a UPnP server offered. In this hands-on reviews of the Philips Media is able to fulfill the tasks to be handled properly and whether the compact box has a good noise. Furthermore, we view the interface and the average power consumption. Philips Streamium network music player with its built-in speakers gives you wireless access to your PC music, internet radio and Rhapsody online music service - all delivered by the immersive LivingSound and superb FullSound technologies.




About the design of the NP2900 is given, the whole player and remote control without a chic look. In the black box weighing 1.5 kg Philips four speakers placed, according to the manufacturer's good for a total power of 30W. At the top is a foldable mini-antenna for 802.11b/g-ontvangst to find. Also there are four buttons: an on / off button, a button to mute the sound and two volume buttons. The foot rests where the player is strong and aggravated performed. The player feels solid as a whole.

Between the boxes we found a 4 "wide lcd. The color is good and the display has a reasonable viewing angle. At the back are, from left to right, a headphone output, a coaxial S / PDIF port, two analog RCA - outputs, a connection for the power supply and an Ethernet port. The NP2900 has no battery, so the device always a mains connection is dependent.

In the box is also a bracket for the player to the wall can be confirmed. On the supplied CD is Twonkymedia software available, which a PC as a UPnP-and DLNA server may be presented. The remote control with two AAA batteries, which are also included, of puncture for. The control is good in the hand and the d-pad is placed on a pleasant level.

The World's First Digital camera

Samsung strengthened its position at the recent Consumer Electronics Show, showcasing its revolutionary AMOLED television offerings. As a consumer electronics manufacturer, synergies exist among Samsung's various business units which present the company with a host of unique competitive advantages in the digital imaging industry. Leveraging those advantages, especially in display technologies, Samsung was able to incorporate a large, three-inch AMOLED screen in the WB100.




Ergonomics and processing in its 183 g light and 23-mm-thick casing, the Samsung WB1000 processed therefore high. This is not only in the material used - metal - but also to its glossy finish and the silver buttons, although small, but well have to operate. Less successful is the Zoom lever, which is usable, but less accurate and ergonomics. It must be with the thumb on the camera back to be served would be a practical rocker ring which surrounds the shutter button. The highlight is the circular directional pad, not only as a 4-way rocker to navigate through the menus is used, but also can be turned around the aperture or shutter speed manually to conveniently can. Less quality is slightly off the optical axis tripod thread, which consists of plastic. Between this and the combined battery and memory card compartment is the Samsung typical and special socket arranged. For this was the test date, no cables. Usually delivers Samsung Any suitable USB cable, which not only the camera is loaded, but the pictures on the PC can be transferred. An HDMI signal is also at the special input jack, what we lack matching docking station, unfortunately could not test. At a recent Samsung TV, is to control the camera through the TV remote control, according to manufacturer.

When the battery is no special way Samsung, but sets the SLB-10A, which has for some time also in many other Samsung cameras to Used. The lithium-ion battery has a voltage of 3.7 V and a capacity of 1.050 mAh, which is equivalent to 3.8 Wh. Around 250 recordings are therefore no problem battery and memory card (SD / SDHC) can easily be found and loaded.

On top of the camera are next speaker, stereo microphone, button, trigger and Dial two true analog pointer instruments, which distribute a nostalgic charm. They provide information about the battery and the remaining capacity of the memory card. This is a nice design gimmick. Interestingly, there is already the Dial, in addition to the video function, and automatic motif programs also known as creative mode such as program, aperture and time automatic and a manual mode and a user memory offers. This should especially advanced photographers who are more than just the trigger, and thus want to use her photographic creativity can run free. It should be stressed that the real aperture and taking into strips ¼-EV increments very fine can be set, which is no mean feat. Those who prefer all the settings of the camera leaves, is also not leave, because the automatic motif WB1000 thanks very good.




The menus of the Samsung are re-designed and therefore very appealing and clear. In addition to the main menu there is a Fn menu, which - depending on the recording mode - more or less important recording settings can be changed directly. A highlight of the WB1000 is 3 "(7.6 cm) wide AMOLED screen. Instead of liquid crystals, organic light emitting diodes (OLED commonly) , which offer some advantages. They are self-luminous, making the background lighting and electricity is saved, which is the battery life increased. The picture quality is excellent: The picture is not only a lot richer than when contrasting TFT, but also the color and brightness adjustment are much finer, the display is also independently and without delay. Mechanically, it is thinner than a TFT screen, which makes the camera flat. Another advantage is the high brightness and readability in full sunlight be a point when WB1000 however, was not traceable. The screen reflects what is in bright environments restricts the usability. The picture is no brighter in sunlight even better read than that of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5, which served as a comparison. Correctly, however, comes from the detailed presentation, the screen has at least 460,000 pixels, which hVGA with about 480 x 320 pixels corresponds.

Equipment to the "automatic helper" belongs in the Samsung WB1000 next to the motif, a program automatic face recognition with all the frills. In the self-portrait mode, the camera beeps, for example, if the face was recognized. Even blinking and smiling, the camera can detect, for the best moment to catch. The photo features include self-timer, series picture function, and an IR is also bracketing (AEB with Samsung). Who likes to play with aspect ratios, also gets a lot offered. In addition to the typical 4:3-format is also called the "newfangled" 16:9 available. Those who prefer classic mag, uses 3:2 or 1:1 (square) back. The picture is, however, each corresponding pruned, ie the resolution and the picture angles are smaller. Practical ways camera shows the resolution at all levels, for which print size, these are suitable. May also have to include a picture style, such as vivid or soft colors, black and white, negative images or shades up to a custom setting in which the color (red, green and blue) can set themselves.

The frontal part of the device counts on a new Dialpad design, that is greater and easier to use. The numerical bellboys are of white color with later illumination and well are spaced, which allows easy marking in a great variety of conditions. Although they are smooth to the tact, that offers a good answer, it clicks when it presses itself. The 5-D-DAP forms has been replaced with you above shoot with an arrow/down and the center of button OK. We did not have problems with this new design, as the frontal part does not allow menu of the left and right navigation. They surround that it they are Enviar, Aim, Music, and the bellboys To erase. This was a good election of music that incorporates a button, as far as providing direct access to archives MP3.


The Screen :

In terms of clarity and colours, both the internal and external display devices top is. The internal baffle is much larger and clearer than on the env. It saw there complete well especially if I was able the pictures had I in a complete baffle mode, which the ENV not possible. To look at to video' s on the internal baffle is very considerable also. The external baffle is now a rectangular counterfoil which offers not enough space for the implementation of the most of tasks. The external posting on env was of a square and is the menu system was complies with. Both baffles are be clearly enough for visible in direct sunlight.

QWERTY-toetsenbord and navigatie-array are very similar with those of the LG Voyager. Navigatie-array sit at the right-hand side of QWERTY-toetsenbord and exist from sending and End/Power keys, the square navigation changes gear (those also snelkoppelingen defined as four users), Wistoets, and a loudspeaker test. Like with the Voyager, there is two programmable review under the baffle. Along the linkerzijde of the keyboard are the function, Shift, Symbol, and space travel keys. There is also another Space test at the right-hand side. The right Space test itself as both voice-commando snelkoppeling and voice-memo-opname shortcut. The five grey review on the keyboard (2, Q, W, E and S tests) as double game player controls. The total keyboard is something narrower than on the Voyager and the env. This makes typing on the keyboard feels a smattering tightly. We have also kinder as the Space test was placed in the middle of the keyboard instead of to left and Right. That said are, is this still of the better QWERTY keyboard for apparatuses which there of the raised turnover keys which easily too busy.

Beside the different sneltoetsen, there are also QWERTY-toetsenbord snelkoppeling function. When toggled on, simply to type on QWERTY-toetsenbord new SMS-bericht or a new note block-system reported. (YOU can choose which application to start in the institutions.) We have this especially skilful as you gladly text bulletin much.


Speakers & Headphones :

LG have again an improvement of the participants on enV2, as a result of which it is better than those on the env. I am glad that them improve concerning this, I had been provided after I heard the loudspeakers on the expensive LG Voyager. The loudspeakers are clearly still full volume and manage without starting crackle. The sound terribly, both for listening to music and when these are used and a participant tel. If of plan are use you ear-phone must you purchase of 2.5mm to 3.5mm converter for use with standard ear-phone. Listen with a head tel. satisfy to the average consumer, but will expect that top notch music from this tel.
