Anyone who likes touchscreen phones should be excited; the biggest name in the game has announced not one, but TWO mobile phones: the svelte Nokia 5800 and the unbelievably mind-blowing Nokia N97.

Off to a bad start – Nokia’s early attempts at a touchscreen phone

Many people are under the incorrect impression that the Nokia 5800 is the first touchscreen phone to wear the Nokia label. It isn’t. Quite the opposite, in fact, there have been several touch-based phones to wear the Nokia brand. Starting at the 7700, the world has seen a few Nokia mobile phones that are controlled by you prodding and poking the screen. They all had reasonably big (for their time) screens, but but unfortunately, they shared something else: they were irredeemably awful. Only one of those mobile phones, the 6708, showed a modicum potential, but that was made solely to be sold in China, and thus, it wasn’t meant for us in these sceptred isles. The mobile phones WE got were, and I use this phrase with much feeling, total, and complete toss.

However, those unpleasant recollections have all been removed by the debut of a pair of new Nokia mobile phones, both of which have touch-sensitive displays, and both of which are so much more alluring…

Nokia 5800 – if music be the food of love…

First on the roster is a brand new entrant into Nokia’s Xpress line of music mobile phones, the mouth-watering Nokia 5800. This phone is quite obviously designed for music and video; you can tell by the dedicated XpressMedia button that opens a list of shortcuts to music, videos, the web, and so on. Oh, and the Nokia 5800 has a 3.2 inch touchscreen, to let you muck about with those different media files. Essentially, the Nokia 5800 was designed to be a little handheld jukebox and movie player, and as music handsets go, this is just about the prettiest. The Nokia 5800 has also got a 3 megapixel camera, HSDPA data access and sat-nav, making it a wonderful all-rounder, as well as a superb media player. Oh, and it’s got a strap to fasten on an imitation guitar plectrum. That’s pretty cool, that.

However, the Nokia 5800 is very definitely a mid-range handset; it’s not, nor will it ever be, a full-fat top-ender. That position falls to another handset…

Nokia N97 – the single best phone EVER made?

With the Nokia 5800 all set to deliver touch-based mobile phones to the mid-range market, that opens up a massive gap at the very top-endof the product range; well, there IS a touchscreen mobile phone on its way to fill that gap: the utterly awesome Nokia N97. This takes the same Symbian S60 Touch operating system and packages it inside the body of a proper, full-on smartphone. So it has a massive, 3.5 inch screen, a kick out QWERTY keyboard, and the camera’s been upgraded to 5 megapixels. The Nokia N97 is, as should be glaringly obvious, destined to be the new flagship Nseries mobile phone, and it really is as powerful as the rumours had us believe, with HSDPA, sat-nav, digital compass, and integrated Flash, meaning you have an internet experience that tops any other mobile phones! Put simply the Nokia N97 is simple incredible. It easily outdoes other mobile phones and while the Nokia 5800 aims to take over the mid-range, I’m predicting that the Nokia N97 will completely DESTROY the competition next year!

Queen Creek is a town located in Maricopa County. This small town is positioned to see a lot of growth in the next few years. The real estate here is diverse and many of Arizona’s top home builders are developing beautiful single-family homes,condo units, custom built, and move-in ready homes.

Home prices in Queen Creek are very affordable, so which ever type of property you choose, you the buyer can be sure you are getting a property that is affordable, with the right features and facilities necessary for a comfortable residential life. Making an investment into home property here is a good decision because though values of homes have declined, the property is sure to rise in the coming years.

It is important for a home buyer to select the right home builder for them, with so many different home builders offering properties for sale. Here are a couple of important tips on how to select the right builder for you:

* It is better to choose a builder with some experience. Ask the builder or find out how many years they have been building homes.

* The builder’s past projects must have been successfully completed. Each new project should be better than the previous one. Ask the builder to show you proof of this through sample photos.

Make sure that your builder has the appropriate licenses. Buying from a builder, who has no license, is obviously a bad decision. Ask them to show you their builder’s license.

* Ask about what upgrades you will be getting in the finished home. To receive these upgrades without a hassle make sure that you have the information in writing.

* Ask about home warranty information as it is necessary according to law for builders to provide a new home warranty.

* Ask if the builder has taken out any insurance for their work, as this is important to make sure that if something happens after the build you are covered for the cost.

Gather a list of builders, who are able to answer such questions correctly and send your set of requirements to each builder. Find out their answer. If the answers offered by all of them, are the same, on questions you have put forth, it means what is offered is the right thing. In order to better protect your interests in a real estate transaction, choose the services of a buyer’s agent.
