With a more curved, pebble-esque look than the Nokia N8, the Nokia C7 also looks more like a phone, with its call and end buttons sitting pretty underneath the screen. Taking into account its curved, chrome edges and super glossy fascia, one would be forgiven for thinking that the Nokia C7’s design is aimed at a female market with a penchant for the shiny things in life.

Speaking of shiny things, now onto the screen. As with the Nokia N8, there’s a 3.5-inch AMOLED display on the Nokia C7. Colours are punchy and vibrant enabling the fascia to transform from a reflective mirror into a bright, beautiful display with the press of an unlock button. Brightness is set to auto by default, meaning it will adapt to your surroundings. While the brightness levels are okay when auto is active, we often found ourselves overriding auto brightness and just whacking it up to full. We wish there was a brightness widget on the homescreen as found on Android’s power controls. On full brightness, the Nokia C7 is viewable in almost every situation with decent angles of view, which is impressive given the extreme reflectiveness of the screen.

Being a Nokia Phone, I doubt that there would be any complaints about call quality and I was right. The call quality was good as in all the other nokia phones. I had no problems in hearing and I was able to make calls even in areas of low signal strength. Further, this phone supports active noise cancellation in which device detects the surrounding noise, which is then actively cancelled from the signal of the main microphone to which you speak. This results in a significantly improved transmission of speech in a noisy surrounding. The active noise cancellation is produced with the two microphones.

In my typical usage day which includes 1hour of calls, light browsing over Wifi or EGDE and some music. I was able to get about 2days without charging. What surprised me was the fact that,This phone managed to give me more battery life than my Nokia 5800 which has BL-5J 1320mAh vs BL-5k 1200mAh present on C7. Further, there is a power saving mode present which increases battery life a bit more. this should be sufficient proof that nokia has done lot of work on power management side and has make sure battery juice lasts longer.

modifications in the all new Corolla and with all the new alteration comes a new look too. The visible changes in the car are in the performance, engine and transmission. The all new Grand Toyota Corolla Altis has a brand new engine and also a transmission which is powered by a dual VVT-I equipment. The car comes with a 1.8 litre and a 2.0 litre engine. The alterations in the bumper and grille are more evident. The exteriors are more dynamic, advanced and a luxury so to speak. The car is embellished with alloy wheels, front-head lamp and rear bumper.

From the outside, they’ve made a few significant changes to the look of the car. A more aggressive, sportier front bumper takes the place of the old, docile one, while sharper, more prominent headlamps finish off the new look. In the back there’s a new rear bumper, along with redesigned taillamps and chrome embellishments, all of which are complemented by new 16 inch wheels.

Inside, it’s very similar to the outgoing model, though with some improvements on fit and finish and equipment. A new steering wheel replaces the old one, making it more reminiscent of the Camry’s. Behind the new steering wheel is a pair of paddle shifters, while the old glossy faux wood panels have been swapped out for a set of classier matte faux wood, giving a better quality feel. Some may say that being one of the two range topping models of the Altis that this one should have leather seats, but personally I prefer the fabric ones in our tropical temperatures.

In terms of exterior more advanced, dynamic, and luxurious design with front bumper front head lamp, rear combination lamp, alloy wheels, rear bumper. A more advanced interior design shown with the new design on optitron yards, 3 spoke steering wheel, eco driving indicator.

The 2011 Chevrolet Camaro returns for its second model year with only a few minor changes. The high-shouldered, cartoonish exterior, scorching performance, and muscle-car attitude carry over with all the force of before.

Just as the muscle-car feeding frenzy (first stoked a few years ago by concept cars, then the introduction of the Dodge Challenger) might have subsided, Ford turned up the heat this year with new V-6 and V-8 engines, truly resurrecting a decades-old rivalry. And what better indication than after Ford revealed the 305-hp Mustang V-6, Chevrolet announced a new 312-hp rating for its base 3.6-liter V-6 in the Camaro.

The 2011 Camaro makes some extreme sacrifices inside in order to achieve an aggressive look. Space inside is tight, without much headroom for taller drivers, while shorter ones might feel claustrophobic from the high beltline; for just about everyone, visibility is severely compromised. There’s a small backseat, but it’s good for only two small children, and the trunk is quite tiny. On the other hand, ride quality is excellent, with a surprising lack of road noise.

The SS uses the V8, which sees no major changes for 2011. SS versions with a manual transmission get a 426-horsepower 6.2-liter V8. Automatic-equipped SS models also get a 6.2-liter V8, but it makes 400 horsepower and features GM’s Active Fuel Management cylinder deactivation. V6 versions also offer a manual or automatic transmission. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, front-side airbags, and curtain-side airbags. An RS Package for LT and SS models includes bi-xenon headlights, specific trim, and on LT versions, 20-inch wheels. All Camaros are available with 21-inch wheels

Where high technology meets high performance, you find some serious automobiles. As an example, look no further than the 2012 Nissan GT-R. As the representative of Nissan’s latest technology, the GT-R packs some pretty serious hardware, including a fire-breathing twin-turbo V6, a dual-clutch automated manual transmission, an advanced all-wheel-drive system and a sport-focused suspension with adaptive dampers. The GT-R’s performance numbers push it into supercar category, yet the Nissan maintains a significantly lower price point.

This year the Nissan GT-R expands its performance envelope even farther. Power output rises to 530 horsepower (45 hp more than last year) and 488 pound-feet of torque (up from 434) thanks to the combination of revised turbo boost and more free-flowing intake and exhaust systems. The already impressive brakes also have been enlarged slightly to better deal with the added performance potential.

Beyond the track sheet, you can definitely feel the R35 GT-R (12MY M/C)’s extra power, much like you’d feel being whacked from behind by a six iron. Besides the engine, the other changes are far subtler. It’s a good thing Nissan brought along a couple examples of the 2011 model to compare against the new car during our single day of driving and track lapping.

Every production car on the market represents a snapshot, the final spot where the engineers decided to call it a day after exhausting their development time and budget. Improvements can always be eked out with more time and budget. That’s what the 2012 GT-R represents: the old GT-R plus three years of time and a little—very little, because the sports-car market has been sucking wind lately—extra development money.

Nissan undertook an ambitious project with the first-generation GT-R, and succeeded at shocking the sports car establishment with bestial acceleration and tenacious handling. The 2012 GT-R’s more responsive suspension and angrier engine up the ante considerably, offering an even quicker and easier turning sled with which to challenge the big boys. The price has crept up nearly $20,000 since the 2009 debut model, but even as it approaches the treacherous six-figure mark, the Nissan GT-R remains a remarkable performance bargain.

The model they lent us was the 250XL V6 (2.5L) and it came in color Deep Amethyst Purple. From the moment I saw the car when it was delivered my jaw already dropped. The elegant and subtle curves immediately grabbed my attention. In fact it was hard to take my eyes off it! The experience was similar to seeing a gorgeous supermodel walk past you in a mall and you can’t help but turn your head twice! The Nissan Teana 2011 was breathtaking and I was 100% sure that I would be enjoying the time I would spend with it over the weekend!

When the driver handed me the “keys” I was a bit stumped. There was no “key”. It was just a key fob to unlock the door. The driver just told me to get inside and I would figure it out myself. I opened the door and the interior was just stunning and overwhelming! Beautiful quality leather seats (light brown), accents of wood, and a gorgeous LED display on the dashboard which also functioned as the media hub. Anyway, the driver was correct. Instead of your usual ignition slot for the key, I found this:

The first thing you would notice is that there’s no key. Actually, the car has a key hidden flush in the fob, but you don’t need it to start the car. Simply press the On/Off button while depressing the brake (with the key fob within the car’s cabin, of course) and the engine roars to life. Your pleasurable driving experience starts here, and you would likely not want your journey to end given the creature comforts the car offers.

The  2.5-liter V6 engine seems properly matched with the midsize executive sedan, providing enough power when needed, yet a smooth ride when you’re just plying city streets. The Teana’s Xtronic CVT (continuous variable transmission) feels like an upgrade from most old-school CVTs that don’t deliver enough oomph when called for. A steady right foot gives you smooth acceleration with no shift shock at all. But floor the pedal on those uphill terrains or when overtaking and the CVT downshifts to give you that much-needed acceleration just when you want it.
