Monday, 24th February 2014
Woke up at 6am because we have to be at the venue by 7.30am to get good seats. The press conference starts at 8am.
Nokia only announce 5 new devices for MWC 2014 and these devices are catered the lower end market, Nokia X, Nokia X+, Nokia XL, Nokia 220 & Nokia Asha 230.
Thanks to Nokia Connects (@Nokia_Connects) for the invite to Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2014! This is my third trip to such a big event with Nokia Connects. The first was Nokia World 2011 in London and the second was Mobile World Congress 2012 in Barcelona, Spain.
Our itinerary for this year MWC was shorter by a day. Despite it being shorter by a day, I find this year trip is more relaxing! We flew in on Sunday, 23rd February 2014 and flew back on Wednesday, 26th February 2014.
The Moshi VersaCover Origami Case for iPad Air was released back in December 2013 for S$89. There are four colors available, Denim Blue, Velvet Grey, Sakura Pink or Aloe Green.
In term of weight, it weighs about 150g which is 10g heavier than Apple iPad Air Smart Case.
The WD My Cloud allows you to store your files and media on your own personal cloud instead of relying on third party services like Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive.
The 2TB version is retailing for S$239, the 3TB version for S$289 and the 4TB version for S$399. In comparison the normal WD My Book 4TB retails for S$309.
Apart from the three Nokia Android phones, Nokia X, Nokia X+ and Nokia XL, being announced, Nokia also announced the Nokia 220 and the Nokia Asha 230.
Both the Nokia 220 and Nokia Asha 230 will be available in single or dual SIM version.
Nokia 220
The Nokia 220/Nokia 220 (Dual SIM) will be retailing for €29 (~S$51) immediately.
Nokia has launched their first family of phones running on Android (sort of) at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2014.
The reason why I say “Android (sort of)” is because there is no Google Play services in the Nokia X family of phones, instead it is been replaced by Microsoft Services.
The Ozaki O!tool Combo Cable is a charge and sync cable for Lighting & micro-USB Devices similar to the Innergie Magic Cable Duo with Lightning.
It retails for S$39 and is one meter in length. It weighs 35g and you can choose from two colors (black or white).
Moshi iVisor Glass Screen Protector for iPhone 5/5s retailing for S$48.90 is a good alternative to the Spigen SGP GLAS.tR Nano Slim Screen Protector for iPhone 5/5c/5s and is slightly cheaper. It weighs only 10g and is bubble-proof, shock-proof and scratch-resistant.
I tried pasting it on my iPhone 5 and despite it was my first time applying screen protector (I usually get the mobile phone shops to do it for me), I managed to do it on the first try!
