That's subjective and questionable.

This is why it's not a good idea to ask on a support forum whether a particular phone is any good. Arguments ensue.

  • E7 - how good/bad is it?

    Thinking of getting myself an E7 to use alongside my N8. 
    I've read plenty of reviews but a reviewer doesn't have a phone long enough to get a proper insight into its behaviour or shortcomings.
     Any of you E7 owners prepared to give positives/negatives to help with my decision would be much appreciated.
    I'm steering towards the silver version, I think it looks tons better than the black.

    @dumpystig -: To your question about whether the E7 is good or bad. I'll say GOOD.
    But you would have to question yourself why you would want an E7 when you own a N8.
    I have had my E7 since May 2011 and I bought it after huge deliberations on whether to buy an Android/Nokia/whatever. Finally I settled for my fifth Nokia (I had an android also for 1 week).
    Pros of E7 over N8
    1) Bigger screen. 4" over 3.5" . After using 4" screen for sometime, I like it and can't think of going smaller specially for mailing and browsing, Navigation etc etc.
    2) Excellent Keyboard. I use it a lot for the long mails and posts I do in various forums.
    3) HDMI and USB OTG cables. Not sure if N8 is sold with those.
    4) Office editor suite. I use it a lot. But again, it can be bought seperately.
    Cons of E7 over N8
    1) Non-expandable memory. 16GB fixed, whereas on N8 you can expand it from the in-built 8GB
    2) Camera. Though E7's is not bad, its no match for the N8 unit.
    Nothing else comes to my mind as a difference.
    Unless you want a similar mobile; and is looking for the keyboard functionality, I would go with the N9 or some other mobile; just for a change of interface.

  • IPhone 3GS - Seriously - How Good?

    Ok, had a Nokia N97, and if I had any hair, it would have been all pulled out at this stage. Terrible terrible handset, no support from the retailer ( here in Saudi ) and jaw droppingly shocking Customer care from Nokia.
    Please don't be offended when I say this, but this an Apple Forum so naturally expect some bias towards the company. I am an Apple fan too, and have had several Mac computers and laptops, currently running a 13" Mac BOok Pro, Snow Leopard.
    But I would a truly objective view from iPhone users on the phone. How good is it really?
    Things I would use it for?
    Phone calls. Obvious I know, but my N97 could not handle calls without freezing / locking.
    Interent - Joikuspot usage.
    Texting - how good it is the virtual on screen phone.
    Stability -
    Pics.
    Calendar ( and of course seamless syncing with my MBP.
    Thanks in advance.
    BTW, the the iPhones here in Saudi are sold unlocked, but a lot more pricey than in the UK / Europe / USA.

    Seriously?! OK
    I am Windows Mobile user for years. Recently I needed an upgrade. The market is full with excellent hardware and I needed a phone with keyboard as I use that a lot. While the hardware is good WM did not catch up with the technology. Nokia do not impress me at all (bad experience with N80 and N85), or any other phone.
    I went to O2 and they let me play with the iphone and I liked it. Also, in the UK (don't know anywhere else) I have 14 days to return it back for full refund (other than the warranty) and no questions asked.
    I was impressed with how sleek, simple and fast the UI on iphone 3Gs is. As for the virtual keyboard I got used to it very fast and I can type as fast as on a hardware keyboard (not to mention the phone is slim cause of it).
    The second important thing is the update I get from Apple. No longer I am at the mercy of my provider or manufacturer. There are a lot more powerful hardware than the Iphone but they are let down by an outdated OS.
    I had it now for about 2 months. Not a hitch. Everything just works. Fantastic speed on WiFi. I recharge it once a day (with 30% left over). I use the internet heavily, with occasional (but daily) Youtube, movies and music.
    GPS is brilliant and never let me down and it grabs a signal very fast than any other phone I have used before. Faster than my dedicated TomTom software and hardware.
    Bluetooth works just fine with my car BT kit.
    Camera ... Don't care
    As a phone it is crystal clear and I always have good signal and latches well when there is a weak signal and even when there is 1 bar I can still make crystal clear calls.
    Text wise, no complaint. once you get used to the keyboard it is child play.
    It never let me down stability wise. I am not in an office, I work in the field and I need it to work really good to communicate with colleagues.
    I have over 56 apps with about 5 games applications and I am heavy on documents and pdf files which I keep on the phone (as references).
    I never ever had to reset the phone so far.
    I use WiFi a lot, with O2 i get the BT openzone and the cloud networks for free (not all of them but a lot) and works extremely well.
    I am a news freak, and I have 10 apps for news and football and I read them all daily. Plus my facebook update and blogging update right from the phone.
    I use it with geocaching and it is great fun if you have the time. The compass is brilliant here.
    it fits well in my hand, slim, sleek and very responsive.
    I use Windows Vista 32 bit and outlook email client and never had problems synchronizing with them.
    I backup once a day (everything) with itunes.
    I also manually backup the itunes folder (just in case). All my purchases (except music) are made from the phone itself.
    The phone came with 3.1.1 firmware already in it and I only updated it once (as soon as I got it) to 3.1.2.
    It does not like synching with other phones (did not investigate as no big deal for me) using BT but great with the car kit (4 years old).
    it is not cluttered with buttons and I like that.
    I wish it can multitask as not all application get you back to where you left off last time you used it.
    I also wish it had a Radio, HSPDA or HSUPA. But no big deal and I am doing fine without them.
    I have 6 emails with push or poll, BT always on and so is wifi. I come home with about 30% left and do not recharge till 10 pm, I take it off around midnight. I use it as my alarm clock (**** very loud and I need it ).
    it gathers a lot of finger prints - non issue to me and I like polishing it
    Hope this helps.

  • How good is password protection in Preview App

    I want to open some PDF's in Preview, do a Print command, then when that opens select PDF and then Save as PDF.  When that window opens, I will then click on Security Options and enter a password that will be required to open the doc.  I need to then email these docs to a person on a PC.  They have Adobe Acrobat.  I've dropped one of these docs on my Windows 7 Virtual Machine.  When it opens using Adobe Acrobat it asks for the password and when entered correctly, the doc opens. 
    So far so good.  But how good is the password protection???  I've been told that Office has had good encryption (128 bit AES) since Office 2007.  But what about Preview on the Mac being opened by Acrobat on a PC???  Bad?? Good?? 
    There are reasons why it is not reasonable to try to drop a large number of pdfs into Microsoft Word so I'm leaning instead toward just protecting the Preview PDF versions. 
    Thoughts???
    thanks... bob..

    As I tell people in the Reader and Acrobat forums, if someone wants to "crack" a PDF badly enough, nothing (including DRM) will prevent them.
    AFAIK, Preview's encrytpion is as good as Acrobat's.
    The password rules are the same. Longer and more cryptic = better protection. 12 characters is better than 8... 16 is better than 12... Upper & lower case, numerals and special characters.

  • Good, bad or average

    Okay, I have established a network using four AP Extremes. Three are extended off a base station that is connected to Comcast.  Distance between extremes are about 50 feet each.
    The length of the need for a network is about a football field with two story condo buildings along the sideline.  I have placed the Extremes in the window stills in direct line with either other.  Using 2.4 GHZ with automatic radio.  Buildings are concrete with windows that are length of room.  I have encourage folks to get extenders to place at their windows to extend beyond the front of the window.
    If I am right we are talking at least 300 feet total, if that's the length of the football field. 
    Two of the units seem to get weak and give off poor signal.  We have problems with the signal going in and out thus causing some outage and gaps in the service.  It appears its worst at night.
    Good, bad or average?  Any suggestion on improving the network's signal so people don't have gaps in the signal?  Is there another source of devices that can be used that not a commerical grade (expensive) and can be easily installed?
    Thanks.

    Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for details on how to best place each of your AirPort base stations.

  • The Latest Update from Nokia is NO GOOD.

    Ok just updated my phone with the latest update from Nokia(the special one).
    And the results:
    1. 15min - 100mAh lost in standby 
    2.Audio quallity is still no good. I can still hear noises when i plug the jack. And if i recieve notification the sound quality is like white noise for a few seconds.
    3.Charging is so slow. Its charging 1mAh per minute... 
    Before the update my battery was performing better!

    As did I. I am now on my third Lumia 800. There are too many of us posting here for it to be one-off defective phones.
    Correct. And several have reported normal functionality of the phone after getting a replacement, others have reported an improvement after updates and unfortunately some are like yourself, who are still suffering after both a replacement and getting the updates. So clearly you cannot lump all cases together, since they are not the same. I would suggest that in your case you still regretfully have a hardware issue and in your place I would go for another replacement.

  • Does Nokia realize how much they hurt themselves ?

    Does Nokia realize how much they hurt themselves and how many potential new customers they lose because they do not want to wait forever ?
    Some examples :
    We wait and wait and wait for WP8.1+Cyan.
    Why do they keep so quite, so tight lipped, so misterious about it ?
    When are they going to release it for both LOCKED and UNLOCKED phones ?
    When are they finally going to communicate about the release schedules ?
    The many complaints about unsharp and yellowish photos since the Amber firmware :
    - or they couldn't care less,
    - or they do not know what we mean. In this case they could at least ask for more info instead of hiding in their ivory tower.
    - or they are simply not as good as they (and we) thought (or pretended) they were ?
    The many WiFi problems with WP8.1 Dev.Prev. and Nokia phones
    Do they know about it ?
    Do they have a solution for it in Cyan ?
    Why didn't they come up with a Cyan preview together with WP8.1 Dev.Prev.
    Do they really think that keeping so mute helps them to exite their customers ?
    Lots of potential new users/customers are tired waiting so long and they finally go for an iPhone or an android one.
    I do have several L925 and I am at the point of no return myself : ditch them for something that does work and that is fairly documented.
    Hey Nokia, suite yourself but stop being so distant from your customers.

    As WP is developed by Microsoft, it is their choice to release a developer preview. Nokia have never released preview versions of their software, this might change in future with the new owner.
    There was a very clear announcement that the official WP8.1+Cyan update will reach all WP8 Lumias within Q3 of 2014 - which only started less than two weeks ago.
    The problems with developer preview versions of WP8.1 can only be solved within WP8.1 - Cyan has nothing to do with it. Ask Microsoft if they are aware of the problems - which I'm sure they are, since that's the whole point of releasing a preview.
    What makes you think that customers on other OS wait less longer for firmware updates? Or it's different when you splash out for a new iphone and know that you will wait at least one year before any update comes - and hope that they don't mess about with the proprietary connectors again.

  • Honest Iphone 3g poll....Good,bad,ok?

    Hi, I am debating on getting a iphone but still on the fence. I would like to have anyone who owns one please give me a Good,Bad or Ok experience with the iphone, and your city and state. I would like to see if it is as bad as the forums say. I don't see any positive discussions about it. So here is your chance. Voice your opinion. Tell us if you like the iphone what you use it for and would you recommend it. Please be honest. Oh my main reason to get one is for the games and ipod soo any ipod touch info would help too..
    Thanks

    100% honest, I promise.
    I love it, I really do. Every day I'll be reminded how good it is when I see how easy it is to do things on it. Granted, I don't browse the net much on it but I do pick up emails via POP3, check the weather and download the odd App and it's great. Also, since 2.1 my 3G connection is a lot better than it used to be.

  • IPAD 6.0 (MD519C/A) wifi,cellular - how good is this model?

    I would like to buy Apple iPad with Retina display (MD519C/A), 16GB, WiFi, Cellular 4G, White from Staples.ca. I would like to know if anyone has used this model and how good is this. Also, whether it's unlocked or not? I want to send the ipad to Bangladesh and the customer representative at Staples was not sure whether that is unlocked or not. I would like to know if it would work there.
    I have pasted the URL for this ipad. Thank you.
    http://www.staples.ca/en/Apple-iPad-with-Retina-display-MD519C-A-16GB-WiFi-Cellu lar-4G-White/product_105913_2-CA_1_20001

    Without checking myself, just be aware that the iPad OS generally only provides error signals that are relevant. It wouldn't seem relevant to report on a missing SIM with Cellular turned off, and I'd therefore expect that you wouldn't see that message after having done so.
    Don't turn on Airplane Mode, however (that's what's shown by the "little airplace icon") as that also shuts down your wifi.
    And yes, with Cellular off it just says "iPad" there on the status bar, exactly as described in your User's Guide and other locations.

  • How good is the Collections.shuffle() method?

    Hello
    I have an ArrayList which I want to bootstrap from. I did not find any method to randomly select an entry from the ArrayList, so I use the shuffle method first, and then get the first entry (which should be random after each shuffle). However, I do get some strange results from this. On average the numbers gotten when I sample small series is lower then the ones I get sampling longer series. There is no aspect with the data that should imply such behavoiur. Does anyone know how good my way of sampling is (using shuffle), and if the shuffle method really is a good way to randomize?
    Regards
    JT

    I think the API docs probably give the best answer to this question. Notice the word "approximately" In the shuffle(List) method. Also note that shuffle.(List, Random) depends on how "good" Random is.
    I guess you'd have to construct some form of test to see if either shuffle was good enough for your requirements.
    Cheers

  • How good is the audio jack?

    In the past I've connected my iPod to my stereo using a mini to RCA adapter. It gave me a weak signal (even with the volume turned all the way up). How good is the Mac Mini's audio when plugging into a stereo? Thanks.

    Optical out to a DAC supports 24-bit (and even 32-bit on the new mini, whatever that is for, I guess DSP). It shares the analogue headphone jack out, but when you put a mini Toslink in it, you get the light out.
    You can also use USB out or use a USB/coax converter (which I am messing around with). Others have told me that the USB/coax converter is better because it externally clocks the signal, but I cannot hear any difference between that and the optical out. Optical goes up to 96kHz sampling frequency. To get higher, you need the USB/coax adapter.
    The NOVA that I have, linked to above, supports 16-bit output from USB and 24-bit output from optical toslink and coax. I think the USB limitation might be imposed by the software in the DAC, however, not at the mac end.

  • How good is the 3G arial on the iPad?

    How good is the 3G arial on the iPad? For example is it better than the iPhone 4 one?

    I'm using the IGP on 2 networked pc's and to be honest have had no problems with it. Runs all my games at ease inc the network games, (some are very power hungry too). Ok not as fast as the latest all singing cards but costs you nothing. You can always stick another card in if you get problems. One thing though, gotta make sure you make use of the Dual channel memory, this really speeds things up with the IGP in use.

  • How good is the new Adobe Reader IOS for fillable forms and interactive pdfs?

    At last adobe reader for ios has been updated so now fillable forms can be completed on ipad/iphone but how good is it?
    I've tested a form and reset form/print form and save as buttons do not seem to work.
    Form submit seems ok, just wondered what others thought?
    Also the new Adobe Reader IOS is now able to display interactive pdfs with buttons such as go to next page etc yet page transitions do not work? Again whats everyone elses opinion on the reader ios update?

    My preliminary experience is that Reader does better with forms than with interactivity.
    I've written a couple postings on InDesignSecrets.com about PDF readers for tablets. Here's the latest one:
    Finding the Best Tablet PDF Reader
    You should also check out PDF Expert (US $9.99) which handles interactivity better than Reader if that is important to you.
