Which gaming console should you buy?


Which console to buy has becoming increasingly more complex? It's now not simply a case of picking the one with the top games or the next generation console/upgrade of the one you already have. The main consoles to choose from are the PSP3, Wii and the Xbox 360.

If you read my Wii review it describes this console as the most ground breaking when it was first released changing the course of gaming for years to come and spawned the newer controllers from its competitors. Since this original review Nintedo have improved its original Wii Remote, with the MotionPlus for an improved/increased accuracy. The Wii is great value if the type of games and controller appeal to you, a very good alternative to the other power-strong consoles.

If high grade graphics is what you're after, you should be looking at the Xbox 360 or the PS3. The PS3 specification boasts the best console graphically and is free to play online. The unit also doubles as a Blu-ray player and the PlayStation Move controller gives a wireless experience similar, if not better than the Wii MotionPlus.

The Xbox 360, on the other hand have a system called Xbox Live for online use, which does unfortunately come at a cost financially (but it is very reputable). The most interesting feature is its newest form of its controller, which is something a little different called 'Kinect', a controller less system that allows the users' body movements and speech to directly interact with games, like spinning a roulette wheel in a casino. A highly ambitious project leaving us in intense anticipation of its final results.

An in depth comparison can be seen in my console comparison review.

Nokia-C7

Nokia C7 is one of a rare group of handsets currently available, running the new touch-friendly Symbian ^ 3 operating system. There will be more handsets, as time passes, but currently, the operating system is to find his feet-and Nokia learning, if we like it or not.

C7 is a good specified mobile phone. It has an 8-megapixel camera with dual LED flash and a real rarity these days – a front-facing camera for two-way video calls. There is Wi-Fi support in the form of 802 .11b, g, and n, as well as GPS. Also, there is a generous 8 GB of built-in memory, which means that you can push a lot of data on the handset before you have to add a microSD card. It is good news, especially as the microSD slot is housed underneath the battery, make it difficult to get to.

Even the version of the Bluetooth included in this phone is an industry leader. In's Bluetooth 3.0, a new, faster standard when further than Bluetooth 2.1.

C7 is a touchscreen handset with a monitor that measures a generous 3.7 inches. The screen uses the AMOLED technology making it sharp and bright-although its decision at 360 x 640 pixels, not the best. It really has not enough width to offer a good QWERTY keypad when the screen is in landscape mode, so instead you get an alphanumeric. QWERTY is offered in landscape mode, however, and capacitive screen is responsive in both directions.

Nokia's cases are mainly plastics-even if it has a metal backplate, which lends an air of strength and solidity to the handset.

Is a single menu button, as well as the keys call and than under the screen. 3.5 mm headphone jack located on the top edge where it should be, while the USB port is also here, which is the power button. Is button camera shortcut, a lock switch, volume rocker and control voice key on the right side. The charging connector is the left edge. There are two speakers on the back which make music loud, but don't be fooled into believing that two speakers means that you get a stereo effect-you do not.

The user interface is similar to ^ 3 enough in appearance and previous Symbian interface design to keep users of old handsets are happy, while offering some innovations associated with touchscreen systems.

The operating system offers three Home screens, which you can fill with widgets and then flip with a finger sweep. Size and shape of widgets is fixed and there is room for six on each display. Means the rearrange themselves automatically when you turn on the handset and the screen to move from portrait to landscape format. There are plenty of flexibility, and widgets can contain data such as Twitter and Facebook updates, or links, such as for apps or favorite contacts.

This is positive, even though the total we not sure ^ 3 stands up as well as other touchscreen interfaces. Still, it helps to bring the Nokia handsets out of their non-touch abyss, and there must be a good thing.

Nokia C7 is a nicely designed mobile with great audio output, and what is still a rather novel touchscreen-based interface for Symbian. We are not yet convinced that ^ 3 can compete with Android and Apple's iPhone OS, even though-but the C7 is a positive enough taster, we are keen to see how ^ 3 fares in future handsets.
