Nokia E71 vs. Blackberry Curve 8900: Nokia wins?

Hello, folks! Today, I'm gonna tell facts about battle between the Nokia E71 and Blackberry Curve 8900. Sounds fun? No, it's the history of the 'real' battle! 

If you're in Indonesia, then you might know, Blackberry is almost everywhere. In cellular stores, if you asked for Blackberry, they will always say 'We have it!'. If you go to a mall, you'll see at least one people using Blackberry. How the Blackberry come into Indonesian market? Till now its still unclear, whether peoples bring Blackberry phones from outside world and introduced it to their friends, or retailers imported them and sell some few quantities of 'em, and later became popular, this still remain a mystery.

But clearly, this is a thread for the longtime successful cellular phone maker 'Nokia', as their sales of phones dropped drastically after the unknown introduces of Blackberry to Indonesian market. So, they introduced Nokia E71, the direct competitor of Blackberry 8900. This product did sold to peoples who's searching the cheaper alternative of Blackberry. But, it's too late, Blackberry phones are already raging in Indonesia. Peoples are forced to change their Nokia into Blackberry, as their friends are using Blackberries too. Nokia E71 ended up as a failure product, with minimal sales and low market share percentage. This makes Blackberry the ultimate, reasonless winner in Indonesia.

But, it's the other side in worldwide. Reviewers praised Nokia E71, while Blackberry 8900, remained silent as a competitor. What made reviewers praised Nokia was the exceptionally smaller size compared with the larger corporate Blackberry 8900 with almost same features. Nokia E71 also used less power and lasts longer than Blackberry, though by sacrificing by using a slower hardware and smaller screen than Blackberry. Reviewers also said that Nokia E71 was the best QWERTY phone made by Nokia combined with the best Symbian S60 OS. Nokia also has 3G feature which Blackberry doesn't have. Because of many positive reviews, it became 'Mobile Choice's Best Smartphone of The Year 2008'. This made Nokia E71 the ultimate winner in worldwide.

This battle seem to be ended. Well, it's ended because Nokia E71 was introduced in year 2008, and the battle of them both started in 2009. As time changed, people in worldwide remained silent with their choices, whether they picked E71 or 8900, we only know that Blackberry reigns reasonless in Indonesia.

Imagine: Handphone + Windows XP= ???

Well, actually this thing is real and there's one seen on Tom's Hardware.

Windows 7: Are They Ready To Serve You "Well"?

Some said Windows Vista successor was Windows 7, some said Windows 7 is the real-successor of the Windows XP. Then which was Windows 7's predecessor? For some people both of them were the predecessors of Windows 7. But How?

Windows 7 was said to be a new operating system which would repair Microsoft good image to the worldwide, which was once destroyed by the slow, RAM-eating monsters, Windows Vista. The reason of this nasty characteristics was 'maybe' its new Windows Aero Interface, which satisfies some high-end consumers (but not the mid, low-end consumers!) with new glassy, transparent feature of it, by using high amount of memories form both RAM and VRAM(I'll discuss it later on).

Then, what's the connection with Windows XP? Well, before the 'Behold of The Worst, Vista!', there's a successful OS which maintain the image of Microsoft, called 'Windows XP'. It required much less and more less requirement than the 'Behold of The Worst, Vista!'. It's also more reliable then Vista, although there's some security flaws (example: AUTORUN), which till now was hard to be repaired. It's also an old OS, even the SP1 edition was discontinued last year. So, consumers need newer OS for this new style era. But, Microsoft just made it worst, becoming the 'Behold of The Worst, Vista!'.

Then, did you mean Windows 7 was the mixes of the 'Behold of The Worst, Vista!' and the 'My Majesty, Windows XP'? Yes, it is. It resulted an OS featured Vista's Aero Interface,  with XP's reliability of consuming less system resource. Then, Windows 7 is the best OS in these days, right? The answer will be proved after months or even years, as new systems (according to me) have to be proved its uses and features for sometime, including Windows 7 which released no more than a month and there's even some flaw discovered.

One of its flaw was called 'The Black Screen of Death'. According to Engadget, the 'Screen of Death' comes when users are logging in. After that, the screen goes black and done, the 'Screen of Death' appears and the system locked up. The 'Screen of Death' also makes the system into halt. This was caused by security updates made by Microsoft itself. There were also reports of Windows 7 corrupting SD cards, but this was already fixed by patch.

Update: The flaw 'The Black Screen of Death' was created by some malicious software....

Does this means that Windows 7 superseded the flaws of its predecessors? Well, just wait for sometime to know the answer.
