Nokia Lumia 900 alla prova dura dello schermo

Anycool Cellulare Trial 3 Sim

€ 39,00

Nokia Lumia 900 ha vinto la palma di migliore smartphone dello scorso CES (Consumer Electronics Show) 2012 e attualmente si può considerare il più performante smartphone con sistema operativo Windows Phone. Questo ottimo full touchscreen è anche particolarmente resistente agli stimoli esterni grazie a un display che si può considerare quasi indistruttibile. La prova arriva dal web e mostra un test estremo al quale viene sottoposto il display con protezione Gorilla Glass. Non vi anticipiamo niente, anzi possiamo preannunciarvi che sono stati usati anche chiodi e martello. E voi, avete provato sulla vostra pelle la resistenza oppure la non-resistenza del vostro Nokia Lumia 900?

Nokia Lumia 900 è stato presentato allo scorso Consumer Electronics Show 2012 di Las Vegas di inizio gennaio come uno dei più performanti modelli con sistema operativo Windows Phone, una sorta di evoluzione del già noto e premiato Nokia Lumia 800. Ne riprende il design e la linea e presenta una scheda tecnica piuttosto simile, con qualche miglioramento. Dopo aver debuttato negli Stati Uniti d’America è arrivato anche in Europa e in Italia per un prezzo che online gravita intorno ai 500 euro circa.

Ecco la scheda tecnica completa di Nokia Lumia 900 con tutti i dettagli, le caratteristiche e le informazioni:

• Sistema operativo Windows Phone Mango
• Schermo touchscreen AMOLED Clear Black da 4.3 pollici capacitivo multitouch 800×480 pixel
• Fotocamera digitale (28 mm f/2,2 Carl Zeiss) da 8 megapixel con videorecording
• Videocamera frontale per videochiamate f/2.4
• Processore single core da 1.4GHz (Qualcomm Snapdragon APQ8055 + MDM9200) con 512MB di Ram
• Scocca in policarbonato e colori nero e ciano
• Connettività veloce LTE
• Batteria 1800mAh per autonomia da 7 a 300 ore
• A-GPS, Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n), USB 2.0 high-speed, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR

Nokia Lumia 900, per altro, è stato già premiato per la qualità dello schermo che non è solo così resistente e duro (grazie al vetro Gorilla Glass), ma soprattutto è perfettamente leggibile anche in condizioni di illuminazione difficile grazie alla luminosità offerta. Insomma, può essere utilizzato come un martello per piantare chiodi su un asse di legno, ma è ideale anche per leggere documenti e contenuti. E voi? Avete provato sulla vostra pelle la resistenza oppure la non-resistenza di Nokia Lumia 900, magari caduto e sopravvissuto oppure clamorosamente distruttosi?

If you're about to reboot a platform, you really need developers on-board and ready before it's released to the general public. That doesn't mean giving developers access to an SDK and simulators — it means getting real code, and real devices, into their hands. It's why Microsoft handed out a Samsung tablet running Windows 8 to developers at its BUILD conference, and why developers at RIM's BlackBerry Jam event in Orlando are getting a first look at BlackBerry 10, in the shape of the BlackBerry Dev Alpha.


Opening the Dev Alpha's box

We sat down with RIM's Tim Neil for a first look at the Dev Alpha. Like any modern smartphone it's a large, thin device. RIM isn't giving too much detail on its specifications, apart from telling us that it sports a 4.2in. screen with a resolution of 1024 by 768 pixels. Perhaps best thought of as a shrunken PlayBook, the Dev Alpha has all the ports and many of the features of its larger sibling, including HDMI and Micro-USB connections. The buttons are similar, and in very similar positions, although the microSIM drawer shows that this is definitely a phone.

Held in the hand, the device feels very much like the PlayBook, as it's coated in the same rubber-like finish. It's a very different tactile experience from any other smartphone, and one we hope RIM continues to use on production BlackBerry 10 devices. There's something rugged about the Dev Alpha as a result of that finish, making it a phone that both looks good and feels tough. One of the more unusual features of the Dev Alpha is a barcode printed under the screen. It's present on all devices, and is used as a device identifier.

Developers who get the device will be getting a blank slate, which Neil describes as "very much stripped down". The only software included is a browser and a camera application (there are two cameras on the Dev Alpha, one front-facing and a higher-resolution rear camera with flash). There's no messaging application, and no marketplace — it's clearly a device for testing applications and for trying out RIM's new Cascades user experience. Under the hood there's a lot of progress, with full multi-processor support as well as storage and the underpinings for the QT-based Cascades.


The Dev Alpha's camera in action

If the screen is any mark of a phone, the Dev Alpha's crisp and clean display is one of the best we've seen. With much of the UI currently ported across from the PlayBook, the Dev Alpha needs that screen — there's no font scaling and some of the text in the Dev Alpha's settings app is very small indeed. At least with Dev Alpha's display it remains clear and legible, even when just a few pixels high. 


The Dev Alpha's extremely clear display

The device we looked at didn't have a SIM — the microSIM tray wasn't present — so we weren't able to use it as a phone. Wi-Fi performance was good, web pages loading and rendering quickly, with both Flash and HTML5 content shown. There's also support for NFC, including the ability to use it with the device off — allowing exchange of credentials and basic e-commerce.


The Dev Alpha's browser works well, rendering the desktop view of sites like ZDNet UK

If the Dev Alpha says any one thing about BlackBerry 10, it's that RIM thinks the time is right for developers to get access to real code on real devices. The fact that it's also an interesting design isn't that important — what's crucial for RIM, and for BlackBerry 10, are the applications it inspires and that use it as a test platform. Certainly, when combined with the tools in the new BlackBerry 10 SDKs, the Dev Alpha now gives RIM the tools it needs to manage a complex developer transition, from Java to C++ and QT.

It’s quite easy to download and install the applications from Google Play. The steps for this are explained below for both free and paid apps. The main point to be noted is that to download anything from the web, you must have great connectivity on the tablet or smartphone. Simply, connecting the device to a computer using a USB cable will not help. It is also possible to download the application to the computer and then transfer it later to the dual sim phone or tablet.
