Today OpenAtOwnRisk.com has finally been opened.

What now? To crack the mystery of any need to go to download! and download files. And what if we live in Poland? Of course, we have no way of downloading files...

Here is the screenshot from my phone:

Today our shop will take a look at the flagship model of wireless headphones straight from Finalnd; Nokia BH-604. At the first glance the headphones appear to be quite large and heavy. That’s exactly how they are! This is not an equipment for everyone and not everyone will like the style either. I’m one of the people that like such design and that is the reason I picked this model over another one. I had serious doubts in selecting the model (BH-604 vs. BH-501) but finally placed my bet on the newer one..so let’s get to the point.

What’s in the box?

One can say it’s all the usual… Obviously you’ll find BH-604 headphones, mini charger AC-5E, a velvet pouch and an instruction manual.


Handling and Functionality

Thank to its size and ergonomic design the headphones stay put on one’s head quite well. The materials used in production are a hard (strong) quality plastic and leather-like padding which houses an adjustable and flexible metal plate which lays quite well on top of head.


All control buttons are located on the right earpiece. You’ll find the standard music-controlling buttons (FF, REW, Play, Stop, Volume). The same earpiece also houses the microphone and charger port.

It also contains a multicolor LED indicator which changes the color depending on the mode:

• Blue (fast blink) – Bluetooth discovery mode
• Blue (slow blink) – Bluetooth connection established
• Green – Power on
• Red short blink – during the power-off

The earpieces twist left and right and slide up and down which makes them very accommodating for „larger heads” such as mine :)

During my few months with the headphones there was only one negative thing I’ve noticed. Placement of the buttons is quite good however the FF / REW buttons should be designed in a different way; something easier to press. Example: To advance to the next song the button has to be press quite hard which can cause the headphones to slide off the head. Instead one has to hold the earpiece with the whole hand while pressing the advance button instead of tapping the button with one finger.


Sound...

...That’s exactly what I was afraid of when I was buying my first A2DP headphones. Luckily Nokia did not disappoint me. Quite opposite…I was pleasantly surprised. Unfortunately I can not compare them to any other product but I don’t think it’s possible to improve the sound quality over Bluetooth anyway. Myself, an average “John Doe” did not notice any static, cracking etc. The voice quality is good and loud and the bass is clear. I do not recommend to listen to the music on full volume on these headphones – not everyone likes the same kind of music as the person wearing the headsets – these headphones simply rock and you have to hear the sound to believe it.


Battery and Sturdiness

Nokia claims 18 hours of battery life. Usually these specifications are a stretch in real life conditions. Not in this case. I did not look at my watch exactly but the fact that over the period of a few months that I’ve had them, I had to charge them only a few times – this speaks for itself.
Generally I take good care of my gadgets but in case of headphones it’s hard to do it... with these babies I carry them everywhere and do not really pay the attention to the way I handle them; I carry them in my back pack with books (not always in velvet pouch), biking, excursions etc. They even fell on the ground a few times…yet they stay attached to my head very well – no scratches at all.


To sum it all up...

Judging by the above statements one could say that I over exaggerate these headphones, but I have to tell you that I’m not. I’m really amazed with the quality and can easily recommend this hardware to everyone that is on the hunt for Bluetooth headphones and can not make up their mind. It’s worth the price.

Like Sinead O'connor's song "Nothing compares to you"...however in this case it's been more like almost two years but our belover N95 is going strong. Today after uploading some pictures to Flickr I started browsing EXIF data and found some interesting news.



Basically after almost 20 months since the original launch date (November 2006) Nokia N95 is still one of the most powerful devices on the market. Sure there's N82 which is a beauty as well (I had a pleasure of testing the device a few months ago thanks to the courtesy of WOM World) but the camera is downgraded to 3.2 MP. If you look at the below chart N95 is the MOST popular device in Nokia line-up of camera phones. There have been a few devices launched after however none of them seem to be as popular. And let's face it with the latest firmware updates on N95 it's one snappy phone. Even the original N95-1 (aka Euro version) which had a POOR battery life and was as speedy as the first digital cameras with shutter lag of 5+ seconds got the update and is now on par with the current N95-3 and N95-8GB due to on-demand paging and in general a better memory management. Sinply said - N95 still rocks despite the fact that by now according to mobile trends it should've been long forgotten (Average user replaces their phone every 18 months) but us geeks..well..we do it more like every 2-3 months. If you look at the chart below; that's another story.

iPhone is one shi**y device in my opinion. Sure - it has a gorgeous design and a nicely polished GUI but that's about it. Under that GUI it can't send an MMS, no copy / paste, still no HSDPA and it's locked tighter than medieval chastity belt.
. After almost two years N95 is on TOP. It may be #2 after iPhone however i highly doubt iPhone will even be listed on this chart in two years. First of all it takes rather BAD pictures unless you hold it absolutely still and second...the obvious..in two years that same iPhone will be DEAD due to the fact that its battery is not user replacable. So Hail to N95. Our Good old friend. Old doesn't mean bad.

It finnally happened. K FLYER have got an screenshot from upcoming Nokia S60 VGA Touch Interface. Screen was made by ICEman_c81 in withdrawn version of Carbide.ui (tool for theme makers). As you can see, there is a few buttons on the top for navigation. I don't know how about you, but I'm speechless :) VGA in S60, finally... :) I can't wait to get my hands on it.

update:

New, landscape screenshots added! Again thanks to ICEman_c81!

Recently I started to hunt for the shortcuts which would allow my to browse the web more efficiently on my N95. Finally some clever soul did my homework...follow the link to learn some trick and shortcuts.
