Baidu Yi is the name of the new software with Baidu Inc. They want to expand their mobile services and to attract more mobile users released.

Yi Baidu users can use directly from mobile phones to access services. Software is already installed on the phone with Android, Google's home-made operating system.

For Vice-President of Baidu, Jing Wang, the software in the future will also be compatible with other operating systems, though, if rejected his own version of the operating system comment.

Wang also reluctant to name the handset manufacturers that provide such software on their mobile phones to agree to install this. To be sure, the Yi Baidu is the production of gold from the treasury of the company.

Baidu itself has successfully undermined the Google stock because Google moved its Google China to Hong Kong in 2010 on the issue of censorship and piracy in China, as the Wall Street Journal quoted on Tuesday (06/09/2011).

Dakota, Perfect BlackBerry

BlackBerry Bold 9900 commonly known as the Dakota was one of the most anticipated BlackBerry enthusiasts in the country. This phone offers a wide range of features than previous versions on Friday, with the design, operating system, which is much more powerful.

But this phone is not without obstacles, provides many types of smart phones Android iPhone, pace, to cleaning, different characteristics and features. So the BlackBerry Bold 9900 seeded?

After a first impression so tempting, but this time I'm going to find out more about this product.

Slender body

BlackBerry Bold 9900 has a thickness of 10.5 mm, which makes it very easy in a bag without interrupting the user selected. Reasearch In Motion (RIM) BlackBerry claims is the thinnest they've ever done.

The total weight of the phone is only about 130 grams, it is fairly easy to grip and comfort. Even so well with the material. The edges of the rear body is rubber so as not slippery when captured, even if the current state of sweaty palms.

Compared with the Onyx 2 phone seems to be more common, especially for the keyboard. The keyboard is more user-friendly, more gentle, more space, while maintaining typing sound from the previous series.

Issued an elegant atmosphere, with brushed metal edges around the body, even if the batteries are still in plastic, which can be opened easily.

BlackBerry Bold 9900 has 4 buttons on the right. Three of them will be used to adjust the volume up and down, and pause in the middle, and the camera button.

While on the left side there are only 3.5 mm headphone jack and USB, and to lock the screen. This situation is certainly very useful, because it is easy to reach.

After examining the entire curve of the body for BlackBerry Bold 9900, now is the time to enjoy all of this phone.

The screen and camera

BlackBerry Bold 9900 screen 2.8 "touch screen with a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels, large enough, but unfortunately does not support all of the BlackBerry solution.

The quality of the screen that appears on the phone still looks good. Although not yet clear compare with other phones, super-AMOLED Frills or retina, but to read e-mail or browse the product is actually very convenient. To view the video quite funny to look at this screen has a contrast ratio of the right combination.

RIM Business using 5-megapixel camera with a lens to capture, plus LED backlighting, which is capable of still images up to 2592x1944 pixels and video resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. Many other features geo-tagging, face detection, image stabilizer, autofocus.

While the picture quality is nothing special, very good on the street, but there is less noise at work in enclosed spaces. The camera phone is also quite a lot of trouble shooting with little traffic, and macros in recovery mode, so as not to be able to visible text. 

When used to capture moving images while the best result-generation BlackBerry, both in terms of resolution, or even in terms of quality. Unfortunately, the mode is stored in HD, tape format 3GP, MPEG, not better.

Performance and range

RIM is trying to enter the market with this phone. BlackBerry Bold 9900 reinforced with 1.2 GHz processor, 768 MB RAM and 8 GB of internal memory.

My experience with this phone for a few days do not have any serious problems. Good for multitasking, high-definition movies for the fun of surfing the Internet, when you open a tab there is no obstacles.

Only if these conditions continued to be used in mobile phones, batteries, hot and will be exhausted in the near future, BlackBerry Bold 9900 only lasted about 6-7 hours with the above terms.

As with normal use like surfing, chatting, social networking and e-mail, the phone until 9:00 in the closed mode with the frequency of the network 3G.

Talk about the battery mAh Blackberry Bold 9900 Li-Ion 1230 m Fat less than the previous series, which uses a 1500 mAh, the same flame with Li-Ion 1300 mAh.

If you use a smaller battery can be thin on the efforts of RIM BlackBerry, this phone is mostly used OS7 claims to create more energy efficiency. However, the processor edge is much more powerful than you need for a stronger power supply.

The result achieved by the latest technology from the company's RIM BlackBerry Bold 9900 aka Dakota is expected to compete with other smartphones that have participated.

With a price of 6 million rupiahs, this phone is, of course, with other smartphones like Samsung S Galaxy II, HTC and LG Optimus 3D sense of competition, each of whom made technical characteristics and advanced features.
