The Nokia N82 was originally launched over 4 weeks ago on O2 in the UK, this was a network exclusive and until today consumers could only connect the N82 to an O2 contract tariff.

But that has all changed today as the shackles of the exclusive launch period are over the Nokia N82 has now been made available on Orange contract deals.

This is great news for consumers as there are now double the amount of tariffs available for them to choose from when trying to match their usage requirements of minutes and text.

The Nokia N82 has also been released as a pay as you go mobile phone but for most users this can work out far more expensive when comparing call costs against contract packages.

The new N-Series handset was also made available as a SIM free phone but this upfront expense is far more than the subsidised prices offered with a network contract, and bearing in mind that the Nokia N82 is a top of the range N-Series phone the purchase price may be a little out of reach of many consumers, that said freedom always comes with a price.

The Nokia N82 is a top quality camera phone, with a 5.0 megapixel camera, auto focus, Carl Zeiss Lens and Xenon flash. Camera load time is much quicker than other camera phones in its market sector, and image capture provides crisp, clean shots. Browsing through gallery is snappy and quick, and pictures can be viewed in landscape mode by tilting the phone on its side, thanks to the built in motion sensor application. The motion sensor works in most applications, such as web browser or gallery, but does not work in the main menu view.

Aimed at technology stylists, The N82 is designed for users who like their handsets to look good, whilst at the same time having a handset that supports all the latest features. And the N82 doesn’t disappoint. As well as a top of the range camera, the Nokia N82 supports WiFi and Bluetooth for data transfer and connectivity, plus 3G and Mobile Broadband for fast download speeds

The Nokia N82 is equipped with a GPS chip, and also supports A-GPS. Location pick up within the supplied Nokia Maps application is very fast, average time is under 10 seconds.

The handset has a built in MP3 player, and has stereo speakers which give excellent playback and clear sound quality. The N82 runs on S60 firmware. This means as well as the long list of features offered by the N82, you can add additional functionality by adding third party applications. The phone is designed with a chrome style faceplate and a smart plastic design shell, which feels good in the hand and is well balanced.

Overall the Nokia N82 is a top quality handset and an excellent addition to the NSeries range. Once again Nokia have raised the standard by which other mobile phones are judged.

The Nokia N82 is available now on O2, Orange, Pay As You Go and SIM Free with further network rollouts expected very soon.

As mobile phones become more and more central to our lives, the desire to have them serve more purposes has grown. In the future, the hope is that mobile phones’ will become a multi-purpose swipe card, used for nearly everything from getting into buildings to paying for lunch.

Compared to certain countries in East Asia and the US, where such technology is emerging rapidly, the UK is somewhat behind.

In Taiwan for instance, there is a system in place that allows users to use their mobiles to scan money-off coupons straight off product posters and then redeem these by scanning again at the checkout.

The technology making this possible is known as Near-Field Communications or NFC, and enables two-way communications between a tag and a reader when they’re within a few centimetres. Transactions made this way are often dubbed “contactless transactions”.

NFC technology isn’t as widespread in the UK as it is in other parts of the world, and this is one of the main reasons we are falling behind. Also, agreeing upon a standard technology is proving difficult as there are so many companies involved, from banks to SIM card manufactures.

This however, hasn’t discouraged a few companies in the UK who are currently conducting a trial involving 500 users, which allows them to use their mobiles as a cashless payment tool on London’s tube system. Users will also be able to download journey information from “smart posters” on certain parts of the tube.

A subset of around 200 of these users are also able to use their mobile phones as a payment method for small goods, with a range of retailers supporting the trial.

Several mobile phones manufacturers are planning to release mobile phones with NFC technology this year, which will help incorporate the needed technology into cheap mobile phones.

Samsung Adidas Sport F110 is a thin and light 2.5G GPRS/EDGE slider equipped with 2? 240×320 QVGA 262K color TFT screen, 2 megapixel camera, FM radio and mp3 player.
Pretty weak specs by current standards.
But the real focus of Samsung Adidas phone is on the sports enthusiast with specialized heartbeat monitor, step counter and other dedicated sports applications. Dedicated sports app and music access keys also come a long way to making this phone into a good exercise companion.

Well, would you look at this? Not quite a year after we got some pretty strong whiffs of the SGH-F110 fitness phone, the rumor has at long last become a reality. Heck, even the model name stayed the same. Slated to launch in the UK next month, the Samsung / Adidas F110 (miCoach) is out to take on the mighty Nike+ training system, and besides the obligatory heartbeat monitor and step counter, the handset also boasts a built-in MP3 player / FM tuner, two-inch LCD and a two-megapixel camera. Additionally, the currently unpriced phone will chime in when you’re not running hard enough, but feel free to drown it out with jams packed on the 1GB of internal memory.

The Samsung F110 Adidas phone is expected to be available soon, for all you sports/geek combination people. SlashPhone has more on the Samsung F110 Adidas phone: “The F110 is actually not that great of a phone if you are a geek, although if you are a more physically fit type of person, it’s great, with and included heartbeat monitor, step counter, and other sports applications.

The Samsung F110 Adidas phone is a slider that looks pretty thin, sleek, and overall good. I would never own one, I am not a fitness minded person, but for those that are, it looks, and functions pretty well from the sound of it. There isn’t a price or availability other than sometime next month.”

Having good presentation skills is a trait that goes a long way to ensure professional success. There are many occasions in our professional lives where we need to present our ideas and opinions or even facts to an audience. For a successful presentation it is important to keep the interest of the audience alive at all times so that they look forward to what you are saying.

One of the tricks in transforming your presentation from a boring one to an interactive session is to use animated PowerPoint backgrounds. Incorporation of graphics will surely attract the attention of your audience. However, as is true with anything else, excess use of animated PowerPoint background may actually backfire and hence it is important that you know the profile of your audience beforehand.

If the presentation is for a professional audience, you would find that a younger audience will be more receptive to animated PowerPoint than an older audience, like your bosses. He may actually be counting the number of hours you put behind creating the animation and if this time could have been put to a better use. However, if your boss actually encourages humor and positive interactions among the coworkers, he would love the concept of an animated background because it would signify that the mood of the audience is important for the speaker.

Many bosses feel that the use of animated background communicates that you are committed to using the latest techniques while interacting with the co-workers and it impresses them. They view this trait or skill to be a positive quality in an employee.

If the audience happens to be consisting of seasoned professionals, they may be irritated with the use of animated PowerPoint since normally these people are interested in cold facts presented in a concise manner. But if the audience is of young professionals, they may actually appreciate it.

Nowadays, teachers also use presentations as a teaching aid extensively. They also incorporate animated backgrounds to attract the attention of their students. Many students appreciate this effort as it is seen as a change from the routine.

However, in children with special conditions like the attention deficit syndrome or hyperactivity disorder, use of animated PowerPoint does not help because it takes away their concentration and hence the ability to grasp the information. It would be better if these children were presented with the information in a clear and concise manner.

If one was to generalize, the use of animated PowerPoint background is more helpful when the audience consists of young adults who have adequate attention spans. With children, since they tend to be distracted easily, the use of animated PowerPoint background could be avoided unless you are looking at a fun activity.

In the last twenty years or so, teamwork has become increasingly significant. Most organizations today use a work model that is based on multiple kinds of “formal” and “informal” teams.

Given this development in the work world, team-building skills have come to be an essential part of seeking that new job or that promotion into the next level of management. After all, studies as well as real world experiences have shown that a group of people working as a team can generate much more productivity than the same group of people working individually.

So how do you become a team builder? How do you master the art of team building? How do you get the members to work effectively as a team? All of these skills are necessary to lead your team successfully and to master the art of team building.

-Communication. Efficient teams are created when every single member is free and able to share his/her thoughts and opinions. The decision-making process for a team must be dialogue based, not dictatorial. Good communication also involves active listening among team members and the ability of the team members to value the opinions of the others.

-Trust. All good teams are based solidly on trust. Every member of the team must be able to trust every other member to do the required work and to be an active and productive team member.

-Clear Goals. A team needs specific goals to function effectively. Team goals must be specific, decided after discussion, and must have a particular time limit.

-Progress Review. Goals by themselves are not enough in the absence of regular progress reviews. New information or even actions taken towards achieving the goal can sometimes end up affecting the completion. Teams need to conduct regular internal checks that include all team members to review the progress that has been made so far and to work out any problems that may have arisen.

-Cooperation. Each team member has to find some way of collaborating with every other member of the team. Personal accomplishments will shine through, but cooperation, not competition, is the key to team building success.

-Professionalism. Of the many individuals in a team, some are bound to have personalities that clash with each other. Team members have to be willing and able to set petty differences aside, working together with the others to achieve the team goals.

-Differences. Diversity is an asset. It often brings in new and differing ways of looking at the same issue, thinking about the same issue, and developing new ideas, all of which combine to give the team a better chance at making good decisions. Team members must be comfortable with and should revel in individual differences while respecting the value that each member brings to the team through their differences.

-Enthusiasm. Team members must be able to jump into the team process with enthusiasm. Enthusiasm helps each member to feel like a part of a vibrant.

-Collaboration. Efficient teams have members who each play a vital role in the completion of the work. Each member of the team must feel that they play a vital role in the sharing of the work and each member of the team should be held accountable for his/her share. Individual accountability is a large part of sharing and teamwork.

-Clear Responsibilities. Every team member must understand their role within the team and the importance of their share of work to the team as a whole
