On-line retailer expansys who have multiple channels across the world including Ireland have now got the all new second generation X series the X2 model up for pre-order .
Striking to look at and beautiful to hold, the Nokia X2 Dual SIM runs the 2.0 version of Nokia X software platform.
Flow smoothly between all your favourite Android™ apps with Fastlane, a Nokia exclusive.
Customise your home screen and make it your own on the stunning 4.3″ ClearBlack WVGA display and beautifully-coloured layered design.
Nokia X2 also comes with Nokia exclusive navigation apps HERE Maps and HERE Drive, MixRadio, and the popular Microsoft apps Skype, OneDrive, and Outlook.
The X2 is the revised model of the previous X series which never went on sale in Ireland,it is still unclear if this version will hit retail in Irish stores,its estimated that the X2 will cost around €99 which again i cant see this been the price from expansys when it goes live,expansys can be a little expensive when it comes to sim free devices compared to other sellers.
We have been testing out a new product called Comply Foam Tips ,which basically is a solution to those stock earbuds that nobody really likes.When i say this i speak from what i personally feel and others i know that are music fans and always like to have or try the latest in music accessories,such as overhead headphones and in ear headphones.
About Comply Foam Tips.
The patented technology behind Comply™ Foam Tips is unrivaled. With engineering based on knowledge of ear-canal structure and with innovative memory-foam technology, Comply™ products dramatically enhance your listening experience.
Comply™ Foam Tips
Comply™ Foam Tips are made with high-tech, viscoelastic polyurethane foam. This heat-sensitive, breathable foam conforms to the dynamic shape of the ear canal, providing a perfect in-ear fit. The foam’s passive noise-reduction technology seals out unwanted ambient sound and funnels pure music directly into the ear canal, without leaking bass.
Thirty times softer than the silicone used on ordinary, factory-supplied earbuds, Comply™ Foam Tips are extraordinarily comfortable, reducing irritation and fatigue and leaving listeners with clear, crisp sound.
Numerous earphone tests using Comply™ Foam Tips have shown no significant reduction in frequency response when compared to ordinary silicone tips (testing performed using a pure tone frequency sweep from 200 Hz – 8,000 Hz).
On using these i found that they stay in your ear rather than fall out which is quite common with many people,this has always been an issue for me and my solution was to move to overheads which can be clunky and annoying hanging around your neck,Comply tips have finally given me a solution to this,out with the overheads and back with the in ears.
I can now enjoy my music and travel light,but i still use my overheads but at home only,i can now go for a jog,walk,cycle around without having the tenuous repeatedly annoying shuffling putting back in earphones situation with thanks to Comply tips and the memory foam technology.
Also they are comfortable,block external noise and no loss of sound,only improvement.They are secure,don’t loosen up and feel good in ear..
Its July the 1st and good news for Irish customers as regards to roaming charges and more,this will be a welcome move by all customers here in ireland across the board..
Still much has to be done to tighten up some means of advertising and how lightly the networks get off with certain things such as UNLIMITED DATA advertising and also network speeds advertised vs reality speeds,but its a step in the right direction but not fast enough.
