NOKIA N97

Nokia has just recently launched its new member of N-series mobile phones, the Nokia N97 smart phone. Predictions are that it will be the best mobile phone of 2009. The Nokia N97 is the world’s most advance mobile computer specially designed to meet the needs of Internet-savvy consumers, according to Nokia’s official press release. N97 is a strong competitor for the Apple iPhone. It is first touch enabled N-series phone. It runs on the Symbian S60 5th edition. It is fully compatible with the Nokia Ovi System Utilities. It is designed with every flaw fixed which was found in iPhone.


Nokia N97 Specifications:

* 3.5 inch TFT Touchscreen Display
* 360 x 640 Screen Resolution
* QWERTY Keyboard with Haptics
* 32GB of Internal Storage Memory
* 5MP camera with Carl Zeiss lens
* GPS with Nokia Maps 3.0 app
* Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Infrared
* Accelerometer and Proximity Sensor
* microSD card supporting upto 16GB External Memory

N97 focuses on desktop widgets which will allow users to syndicate data in real-time through various social networks. It will be the most comfortable phone to socialise your facebook life. Third-party developed widgets will also be available to download when they are available.
It also features the Nokia Tube, that lets users to check contacts quickly. Its QWERTY keyboard resembles Xperia look but Nokia has already made a device like that before the Nokia 810 Internet Tablet.
It is expected to be available all over Europe in June 2009 with a price tag of 550 euros ($695).

NOKIA N79

The N79, on the other hand, is the successor to the N78. It still retains the candybar design but will now come with a 5-megapixel camera, dual-LED flash, and changeable front and back covers for the digital fashionista. Connectivity is provided by 3G, WiFi and GPS. Both new handsets are set to be released in the UK starting next month, and roll out in other European regions will follow later on.
While they may look the same as their predecessors, both handsets are indeed a step-up in terms of features. This is perfect for those who have been holding back on getting either an N81 or N78 as these two new models definitely have more to offer. I guess with Nokia, you never have to wait long for a better unit to come out to replace the current ones available.

NOKIA N85

Nokia is releasing two new N-series phones which are set to replace their current counterparts, and will bolster their already solid line-up of multimedia handsets in the market. The Ngage compatible N85 is an upgrade of the N81, and will likewise come in a slider form factor. However, unlike the N81, it’ll come equipped with a a 5-megapixel camera, GPS and geotagging, longer battery life, and a brilliant 2.6-inch AMOLED screen. It’ll come bundled with a more-than-adequate 8GB microSDHC card which will be perfect for storing all your photos, videos, games and mp3 files.

BRIEF HISTORYOF FOREX TRADING

Initially, the value of goods was expressed in terms of other goods, i.e. an economy based on barter between individual market participants. The obvious limitations of such a system encouraged establishing more generally accepted means of exchange at a fairly early stage in history, to set a common benchmark of value. In different economies, everything from teeth to feathers to pretty stones has served this purpose, but soon metals, in particular gold and silver, established themselves as an accepted means of payment as well as a reliable storage of value. Originally, coins were simply minted from the preferred metal, but in stable political regimes the introduction of a paper form of governmental IOUs (I owe you) gained acceptance during the Middle Ages. Such IOUs, often introduced more successfully through force than persuasion were the basis of modern currencies. Before World War I, most central banks supported their currencies with convertibility to gold. Although paper money could always be exchanged for gold, in reality this did not occur often, fostering the sometimes disastrous notion that there was not necessarily a need for full cover in the central reserves of the government.
At times, the ballooning supply of paper money without gold cover led to devastating inflation and resulting political instability. To protect local national interests, foreign exchange controls were increasingly introduced to prevent market forces from punishing monetary irresponsibility.
In the latter stages of World War II, the Bretton Woods agreement was reached on the initiative of the USA in July 1944. The Bretton Woods Conference rejected John Maynard Keynes suggestion for a new world reserve currency in favour of a system built on the US dollar. Other international institutions such as the IMF, the World Bank and GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade) were created in the same period as the emerging victors of WW2 searched for a way to avoid the destabilising monetary crises which led to the war. The Bretton Woods agreement resulted in a system of fixed exchange rates that partly reinstated the gold standard, fixing the US dollar at USD35/oz and fixing the other main currencies to the dollar - and was intended to be permanent.
The Bretton Woods system came under increasing pressure as national economies moved in different directions during the sixties. A number of realignments kept the system alive for a long time, but eventually Bretton Woods collapsed in the early seventies following president Nixon's suspension of the gold convertibility in August 1971. The dollar was no longer suitable as the sole international currency at a time when it was under severe pressure from increasing US budget and trade deficits.
The following decades have seen foreign exchange trading develop into the largest global market by far. Restrictions on capital flows have been removed in most countries, leaving the market forces free to adjust foreign exchange rates according to their perceived values.
But the idea of fixed exchange rates has by no means died. The EEC (European Economic Community) introduced a new system of fixed exchange rates in 1979, the European Monetary System. This attempt to fix exchange rates met with near extinction in 1992-93, when pent-up economic pressures forced devaluations of a number of weak European currencies. Nevertheless, the quest for currency stability has continued in Europe with the renewed attempt to not only fix currencies but actually replace many of them with the Euro in 2001.
The lack of sustainability in fixed foreign exchange rates gained new relevance with the events in South East Asia in the latter part of 1997, where currency after currency was devalued against the US dollar, leaving other fixed exchange rates, in particular in South America, looking very vulnerable. But while commercial companies have had to face a much more volatile currency environment in recent years, investors and financial institutions have found a new playground. The size of foreign exchange markets now dwarfs any other investment market by a large factor. It is estimated that more than USD 3,000 billion is traded every day, far more than the world's stock and bond markets combined.
