Nokia Lumia 2520-Surprising Move By Nokia

The Nokia Lumia 2520-Nokia's Entry Into The Tablet Industry:

This week has been an outing for Nokia and Windows 8 users, with the release of three brand new Nokia Windows 8 devices.
The released Devices include the Lumia 1520, 1320 and the Lumia 2520. The first two are large screen smartphones, while the third is a full fledged laptop or tablet functioning just like Microsoft's Surface.

We have already reviewed the 1520 and the 1320 and now it is time to review the 2520.

Display:

The 2520 features an absolutely beautiful 10.1 inch Full HD screen, with a resolution of 1080x1920.
It has a pretty awesome pixel density of 218 ppi. It's form factor is similar to that of Samsung's Galaxy Note 10.1 which; as the name suggests, also has a 10.1 screen.

The screen is protected by Corning's Gorilla 2 and also features Nokia's ClearBlack display technology which first debut in the Lumia 920.

Internal Specs:

The chipset onboard is Qualcomm's Snapdragon 800 which features a Quad-Core 2.2 GHz Krait 400 CPU which looks amazing on paper.
It also an Adreno 330 to handle graphically intense games and apps.

The RAM has a capacity of 2 GB.
On paper, this is an excellent device which amazing specs, which appear almost identical to the best of the best tablets out there.

Operating System:

This device is a Lumia; so there is no surprise that this one runs Windows 8.
But there is a catch. It is not the full-fledged Windows 8 that we can see featuring on the Surface 2 or Surface Pro; but it is the less advance Windows RT 8.1.

It still performs amazingly well, but there are certain aspects which you will miss if you are a regular user of Windows 8.

Keeping that fact aside, the Operating System just flows.

No hiccups no hangs or lags. We know that the Windows ecosystem never required great specs to run it, but hey they most certainly do help it a lot.

Compatibility With Other Lumia Devices:

Nokia has incorporated a unique feature into the 2520 which allows you to stream your content on either of your devices, if you happen to own a Lumia phone. This allows cross-platform syncing of music between your phone and your tablet.

Camera:

The primary camera has a 6.7 mega-pixel sensor with Carl Zeiss optics. It has the capability of shooting full HD video.

The secondary camera on the front has a 2 mega-pixel sensor, which can capture 720p video.
We are not yet sure about the quality of the camera as this device has not yet reached markets, for us to review.

Connectivity:

The 2520 features all the regular connectivity options with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 etc.
An interesting point to be noted is the fact that, the 2520 also is one of the first device to feature USB 3.0 just like Samsung's Galaxy Note 3.

It features 4G LTE and Nokia is offering the LTE model, there will be no Wi-Fi only variant for this device,

Memory:

The 2520 is available only in one model on that is the 32 GB model, on basis of memory. But, you also have the option to expand the memory with the help of a microSD card slot.

Battery, Colors and Price:

The Non Removable 800 mAh can offer a maximum standby time of 25 days, which is excellent.

The device is available in Red, Black, White and everybody's favorite Nokia Color Cyan.

The price is about $499 in US, UK and Finland without considering the local taxes and subsidies.

Conclusion:

The Nokia Lumia 2520 is designed absolutely beautifully, like all other Nokia phones. It also has amazing specs on paper. We just have to review the device to tell you how well those specs perform in day to day activities.

The price of this device is also not placed ridiculously high like most of the tablets that you can find in the market right now.

So that's our review on the Nokia Lumia 2520.
Be sure to +1 this post on Google Plus as it most definitely helps us a lot.

Nokia Lumia 1320-Nokia's Attempt To Please Budget Buyers

Nokia Lumia 1320-The Low End Phablet:

Nokia recently released three new devices to its Windows Phone 8 platform as an attempt to widen the market of its device and to serve a wider range of customers. The released devices included the Lumia 1520, 1320 and 2520.
We reviewed the Nokia Lumia 1520, which was a high end phablet with excellent on paper specs.

Now it is time to review the lower end phablet the Nokia Lumia 1320.
The 1320 is basically Nokia's attempt to not only enter the phablet industry but also to appeal the masses with a bigger screen smartphones in the footsteps of the highly successful Galaxy Note range.

Display:

The 1320 has the same screen size as the 1520, which is a 6.0 inch screen. However the main difference with respect to the screen is that the 1520 has a Full HD display whereas the 1320 doesn't.

The resolution of the screen is 720x1280 pixels, with an average pixel density of 254 ppi, which is good but not amazing like the screen on the 1520.
The screen is protected by Corning's Gorilla Glass 3.

Internal Specs:

The chipset featuring on the 1320 is Qualcomm's Snapdragon S4 with Dual-Core 1.7 GHz processor's, which is pretty dated if you ask me.
The graphics are handled by an Adreno 305, with 1 GB of RAM to handle processes, background tasks and multi-tasking.

These specs may not be top of the mark, however if Windows Phone has ever proved a point it is that you don't need killer specs to make the interface smooth and run fast. That is the reason why you don't notice even a bit of lag while navigating between screens or even while running apps.

Camera:

The primary camera has a 5 mega-pixel sensor. It shoots decent pictures which quite muted and bland colors, which is capable of shooting 1080p video.

The secondary camera on the front is a VGA camera.

Operating System:

The 1320 runs on Microsoft's latest Windows Phone 8 Black right out of the box. As we said earlier the OS and the interface run smoothly without any lags.
However Windows Phone 8 is not a popular OS among the masses largely due to the fact that mainstream apps like Pandora and Spotify are not available.

Of course, there is some respite for Windows Phone users since Microsoft announced that there is an Instagram and Vine app in the making.
The unpopularity is also due to the fact that Windows Phone doesn't offer customization like Android or even iOS for that matter.

Memory:

The 1320 has an internal memory of 8 GB with a choice to expand it upto 64 GB with the help of a microSD card.

Battery, Colors And Price:

The device has a 3400 mAh, Li-Ion battery.
The Lumia 1320 is available in yellow, white, red and black.
It is available for pre-order now for about $399.

Conclusion:

We think that is definitely an effort by Nokia to not only extend an arm into the phablet industry but also to reach into the developing markets by providing a decent device for people who are looking for a cheaper alternative of the superior Lumia 1520.
However the price is a bit high for such a device and consumers will most likely look the other way.

So that's our review on The Nokia Lumia 1320.
Be sure to +1 this post on Google Plus as it most definitely helps us.

Stay tuned for the review on the Nokia Lumia 2520.

Nokia Lumia 1520-Nokia's Retribution

Nokia 1520-Nokia's High End Phablet:

Nokia has been in hot waters recently. The company is seriously trying to make amends and renter the technology industry using several methods from introducing a 41 mega-pixel phone to making a full-fledged tablet which is the Lumia 2520.

It also plans to enter the successful phablet market by introducing two new devices this year, The Lumia 1520 and The Lumia 1320. So here is our review on the Nokia Lumia 1520.

Design:

At first glance this device looks like a pumped up Lumia 925 which debut earlier this year. But on looking closer it seems to resemble the design of not only the chassis of the Lumia 925 but also the design of earlier, Lumia 920.

The display on the front of the device looks remarkably similar to the display of the Lumia 920.
The 1520 offers a full aluminium body which feels quite significant in your hands.
The back features a camera aperture is quite prominent at the back, resembling the aperture of the 925.

Camera:

The camera on board the 1520 is one of the most significant features of the device.
The primary camera on the back features a 20 mega-pixel sensor.
Nokia has always been known for its amazing camera technology and the 1520 is no exception.

The camera takes excellent pictures in bright, dim and low light. It features Carl Zeiss Optics on board with an added benefit of Optical Image Stabilization, which offers that much more better pictures and video by elimination almost all of the shakiness from the stills.

It features a secondary camera on the front with a 1.2 mega-pixel sensor.
The primary camera can shoot 1080p video whereas the secondary camera can shoot 720p video.

Display:

A massive spec bump from previous gen Lumia smartphones is the display. Nokia has slapped on a Full HD 6.0 inch display with a resolution of 1920x1080 with an average pixel density of 367 ppi which looks pretty good on the screen of this size.

The IPS display is protected by Corning's Gorilla Glass 2 and Nokia has also inducted its ClearBlack display into this device.

Internal Specs:

Specs on this device look excellent on paper.
The Qualcomm MSM8974 Snapdragon 800 chipset features a Quad -Core 2.2 GHz Krait 400 CPU for handling all processing that it is subjected to.

The RAM onboard maxes out at 2 GB for handling process and multi-tasking
The graphics is handled by an Adreno 330, which is a top of the line GPU.

Operating System:

The 1520 features Microsoft's Windows Phone 8. The screen beautifully compliments the vivid colors of the operating system. The color can be adjusted as per the user's taste and a wide palette of colors is also provided to do the same.

But, as we know Windows Phone 8 doesn't provide the level of customization that is available in iOS let alone the ones that can be found in an Android Ecosystem. This is usually the complaint of tech nerds who live and breath customization on their phone.
However this OS is incredibly easy to use and navigate, and it is the choice of may people who lie outside of the tech community.

Connectivity:

The 1520 features 2G, 3G and 4G LTE bands.
Wi-Fi is also prominent on the device for using the net.
Bluetooth 4.0 is also present onboard.
It also features wireless charging and has support for the standard Qi wireless charging.

Battery, Colors And Price:

The battery is Lithium-Ion which has a capacity of 3400 mAh.
It is available in red, black, yellow and white.
The Nokia Lumia 1520 is available for 700 euros for pre-order as of right now.

 Conclusion:

The Nokia Lumia 1520 is a pretty good smartphone and specs pop out on paper.
We have to review the device to see how good those specs perform, that's all we can say for now.

So that's our review on The Nokia Lumia 1520.
Be sure to +1 this post on Google Plus as it most definitely helps us a lot.

Stay tuned for the review on the Lumia 1320 and 2520.

Oppo N1-Innovation Redefined

Oppo-At The Forefront Of Innovation Yet Again:

You may remember our review on the Oppo Find 5 earlier this year. It was an excellent product with well defined specs, amazing built quality and all that goodness.
Oppo has taken quite a lot from their experience with the Find 5 and decided to try something with the same motive; so Oppo went ahead and began churning the rumor mill with pictures and features of there new phone the N1 which was very well received among the audience, and when it was released it awed the world. So here is our review on the Oppo N1.

Display:

The Find 5 was the first phone in the market with a full HD display and yes it was just as good as it sounded.

So, Oppo took a hint from the well received screen and slapped on a 5.9 inch (beautiful) Full HD display on the N1 which looks even better than the display on the N1 especially considering the fact that itures a bigger screen. It features 1080x1920 pixels with an average pixel density of 373 ppi which makes the colors just pop on the screen.

Camera:

The camera is the highlight on the N1 for sure. It is a modular camera, which is capable of 206 degree rotation. The camera can be used both as a front facing one and a back facing camera too.

The camera features a 13 mega-pixel sensor. And since the camera piece can rotate, technically even the secondary front-facing camera has a 13 mega-pixel sensor and also features a dual LED system.
The shots that the camera takes are really good and colors appear lively.

Built:

One of the best and the most distinguishable feature of the N1 lies on the back. If you observe the phone carefully on the back you can see that there is a soft touch square region which acts as a touchpad.
Since the N1 is a really big device, one handed usage can be hard, hence Oppo has provided this touch pad for comfortable one handed navigation using your index finger.

It takes a few days to get used to, but after that you begin to feel why other phone manufacturers never adopted this technology.
The N1 weighs in at about 213 g or 7.51 ounces. which is a bit heavy, but come on this is a 5.9 inch phone or phablet; depending on how big your hands are.

Internal Specs:

The chipset running the N1 is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 600, which features a Quad-Core 1.7 GHz Krait 300 CPU.

The graphics is handled by an Adreno 320 chip. The RAM amounts to 2 GB, which is capable of handling all the multi-tasking.

Additional Features:

Oppo has infused certain extra features into the N1 which provide more functionality to this device. An example for this is the O-Click feature.

In this function you can operate your N1; mostly your camera, wirelessly with a help of a bundled Bluetooth Remote. It helps you to capture group pictures in case you want to feature in the picture.

Operating System:

The N1 runs on Oppo's custom skin, the Color OS which is based on Android 4.2 "JellyBean".

This skin better by leaps and bounds than the skin which was featured in the Find 5 by miles. It looks less chunky and heavy, even though it is in the ballpark of well, heavy and chunky.

Partnership With CyanogenMOD:

Yes, Oppo has partnered with CyanogenMOD, to maybe develop the software on board this phone even though we are not yet clear on this.

Oppo has from the beginning, has supported rooting and installation of custom ROMs. This is made evident from the fact that Oppo doesn't void your warranty in the case that you root your phone.

Memory:

The Oppo N1 is available in 2 variants based on memory that is, 16 and 32 GB which no option for expandable storage.

Price, Battery And Colors:

We are unclear on the price of the N1.

The battery onboard is a decent 3610 mAh.

It is available on in white as of now.

Conclusion:

We think that the Oppo N1 has paved the way for smartphone innovation, but this innovation remains larger constricted to markets such as Asia were Oppo doesn't receive enough credibility for its work. It should work to promote its marketing in Western countries so that this type of open mindedness to rooting and innovation is picked up by other manufacturers.

You can check out more information about the Oppo N1 at the N1's official page here.

So that's our review on the Oppo N1.

Android KitKat 4.4-Next Billion Users For Android?

Android 4.4 "KitKat"-Revamping Android For The Better:

At midnight, Google released the much anticipated LG Nexus 5. Which is all good. It was released with a ton of new features, and among the new features one of them was, of course the equally anticipated and rumored Android 4.4 KitKat.

We were given a sneakpeak of Android 4.4 KitKat when Google put up a promotional video for it on video ,which incidentally also gave the world the first glimpse of the Nexus 5.

The Changes:

The main changes that you can notice the moment you unlock your phone are the changes done to the status bar and the system buttons on the bottom of the screen. You can easily notice that the status bar is transparent now instead of it being completely opaque. The system buttons also lie on a transparent background. It really gives the entire interface a clean finish.

Another phenomenal change is that the Touchless Control which we saw the first time we saw on the Moto X has been integrated into Android 4.4. But, it is currently available only in the Nexus 5. This function can be toggled by saying "Ok Google".

The dialer has also undergone a massive change. The change is that, if you receive a call from an unknown number, Google will basically act as a phonebook and automatically look-up the number on Google Maps and it will provide you the name associated with that number and will also provide you an image of that business. the new dialer app also organizes your contacts on the basis of who you have contacted the most.

The Tweaks:

The major tweak that Android 4.4 undergone is that, now Hangouts has been integrated with your SMS app which provides a more centralized system for all your messages.
Emoji have become very popular among the younger generation, so obviously Google has provided the option to insert Emoji into your texts just about anywhere.
You can also print documents on your phone via an HP ePrint Printer without any wires, provided the printer that your using is connected to Google Cloud Print.
Another tweak can easily be noticed if you are playing music. The artwork of the song which you are playing will appear in the background of your lockscreen.
From now on, if you are reading a book/magazine or playing a game Android will portray that on the entire screen without any system buttons or your status bar; and you can get back your status bar and your system buttons by taping on the screen.
This used to be quite a hindrance since in the older versions of Android you had to shut down the app you were using to check your notifications.

The System Changes:

The root system has also undergone a couple of changes.
Google has stated on the official KitKat page that they have provided new Ultra-Fast Wi-Fi connectivity which provides better Data Transfer.

Android 4.4 KitKat will also provide lower end smartphones a feature which resembles NFC but is not exactly NFC. This will open several new options pertaining to NFC to plenty of lower end smartphones.
Other changes in connectivity include support for Bluetooth MAP.
Support for the recently launched ChromeCast is also a new addition.

Compatibility:

Google has stated that Android 4.4 KitKat will support all phones running Android provided that they have a minimum RAM of 512 MB.

However Google has stated that the Nexus S and the Samsung Galaxy Nexus will not receive the 4.4 update which kind of removes the "Nexus" part from the devices.

The Verdict:

Android 4.4 KitKat will definitely provide Android with those next 1 billion users that it is aiming for, provided that manufacturers get the compatibility clause right and manage to successfully provide lower end smartphones the same experience that one would get on higher end devices.

 Google should also make sure that the 4.4 update will be put out in time.
All in all we think that this is a really neat, clean and refreshing new look given to Android and it will be a good thing for Google if it manages to play the cards right.

So that's our review on the newly revealed Android 4.4 KitKat.
Be sure to +1 this post on Google Plus as it definitely helps us out.

Nexus 5-It's Finally Here

LG Nexus 5-The Most Anticipated Phone Of 2013:

Yes, waiting till midnight in anticipation for the new LG Nexus 5 has finally paid off. My mouth literally began to froth when that mail stating that the new Nexus had been launched appeared on my Notification shade. Google announced the device and is already flying off shelves. So lets take a look at the device.

Display:

Oh My God! The Nexus 5 has an amazing display which is right up with the display's of other high end devices. It features a 4.95 inch screen with a 1920x1080 resolution with a pixel density of 445 ppi (Wow, just Wow). The screen is Full HD. It looks amazing on video. The screen is protected by Corning's Gorilla Glass 3. The screen is one of the biggest upgrades from last year's Nexus phone, and it will be one of this year's biggest selling points.

Internal Specs:

Every year, people don't expect a "Nexus" device to have high-end specs especially considering their price point at around $299-$349 but this year all of that has changed, not only with the Nexus 7 but with the Nexus 5. The chipset on-board is Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 800, which features a 2.3 GHz Quad-Core Krait CPU. The chip responsible for rendering graphics is an Adreno 330. The RAM on-board amounts to 2 GB. With these specs this phone is a flagship and it is undoubtedly one of THE best phones of 2013-2014 (alongside most leaked and most anticipated).

Operating System:

Android KitKat 4.4 (stay tuned for the review) goes official with the Nexus 5 being the first device to feature it. It includes hundreds of new updates, including Touch-less control, Ultra fast Wi-Fi and also a neat feature which acts as a Pseudo-NFC function which lets devices lacking NFC mimic NFC even though its not exactly NFC.

It also includes several incremental upgrades regarding the appearance of the homescreens mainly the status bar has been made cleaner since it is transparent and also the system button's background has been made fully transparent and also the blog post on KitKat has also stated that there is change in the font.

Battery:

The battery onboard is Non-Removable with a capacity of 2300 mAh. The battery is a Li-Po. It offers 17 hours of talk time and 300 hours of standby.

Camera:

The primary camera on the back features an 8 mega-pixel sensor with Optical Image Stabilization which is an interesting add-on considering that this device has a really low price point considering its specifications. The secondary camera on front has a 1.3 MP sensor to capture selfies all day.
It can also shoot 1080p video.

Connectivity:

The biggest leap from last years Nexus 4 in terms of connectivity is the fact that this year's Nexus features a 4G LTE band. The Wi-Fi also has a special feature and Google has stated that it will provide Ultra-Fast connectivity. It is also enabled with wireless charging capabilities without the need of an external case or receiver. It also has Bluetooth 4.0 LE.
It also features the SlimPort technology which acts as a receiver for a mini HDMI cable.

Accessories:

Yes, it is Google's "resolution" this year that it will sell certified accessories made by Google itself to ensure that it is a perfect fit for your device. There are 2 types of cases available for the Nexus 5. One is a bumper type case and the other, is a flip case which covers the Nexus 5 entirely. The bumper case is available in white, yellow, red and black.

Price And Color:

The Nexus 5 is retailing for about $349 for the 16 GB model off contract and goes all the way upto $399 for the 32 GB model. As of enough the 16 GB model is already sold out, whereas the 32 GB model is shipping from the warehouse after 3 or more weeks.

Moto X-The Rumors Have Materialized

The Worlds Most Customizable Phone Is (Finally) Here:

If you have been a prolonged reader of the blog you will remember the Rumor Mill Post we had posted on the Moto X a while back, which you can find here. Now its finally here and as it turns out the rumors are true, and the truth has turned out to be even better.
Yes, we know that it has been quite a while since the Moto X has released but we recently got our hands on it for review purposes.

At first glance an ordinary person may think that it is normal phone. But the key selling point of the Moto X is that it is highly customizable. You can choose between a variety of back panels from a dimple finish to a matte finish which are further available in a spectrum of colors.
The from panel is available in two classic colors-Black and White. The color of the accents can also be chosen.
Whats even more fascinating is that Motorola is offering 3 different types of cases to compliment your own, personal Moto X which is also available in several colors ! (heights Of customization).
Motorola has also partnered with SOL which makes amazing headphones, which lets you purchase headphones of different colors to compliment your phone. Wow! More so you can also choose the color of your charger even though its black and white.
The phone can be customized online at the Moto Maker.
Even though this phone is meant for customization it packs some pretty decent specs for a smartphone.

Display:

The display is pretty good we might say. But what really enriches the viewing experience is the fact that those bezels on either side of the screen are so thin. Just as predicated in the rumors.
The phone features a 4.7 inch screen with has a resolution of 720x1280 with a pixel density of 312 ppi.

Camera:

The Camera on board the Moto X features a 10 mega-pixel sensor which takes pretty decent shots and likewise for videos.
The secondary camera on the front has a 2 mega-pixel sensor.

Internal Specs And Operating System:

The Moto X features Qualcomm's Snapdragon MSM8960Pro chipset which features a Dual-Core 1.7 GHz Krait processor.
The Graphics unit featured onboard is an Adreno 320.

The RAM onboard amounts to 2 GB which is pretty decent.
The device features Android 4.2.2 Jelly-Bean out of the box. The user interface is basically gives the user a Nexus experience other than a few changes which can be noticed as in the camera app and a couple of other areas because at the end of the day this is Google's And Motorola's phone.

Storage And Connectivity:

The phone is available in two variants that is 16 and 32 GB.
The major features that distinguish it from LG's Nexus 4 is the customization (No Doubt) and the fact that the Moto X features LTE connectivity.
Other then that the specs are pretty much identical.

Pricing And Assembly:

The Moto X is retailing for about $199 on-contract which is pretty expensive since the Nexus 4 is retailing for about $199 off-contract in the Play Store.

At the end of the day the experience onboard the Moto X is flawless. But as we know the main feature that distinguishes itself from its competitors is the degree customization available.
The reason why we included the heading assembly is because this phone is entirely assembled in the US which is kind of a big deal considering that nearly 90% of modern day phones are manufactured and assembled overseas.

So that's our review on Motorola's Moto X.

LG G2-Watchout Note 3

Note 3 finally has a competitor-Introducing the LG G2:

Lets admit that LG until recent times was in pretty bad shape. Then came along the partnership with Google which brought one of the best Android phones in the history of Android. And now LG is in full swing and we now have one beautiful looking phone, the G2.

Looks And Body:

We decided to deviate from the normal format beginning with the display because this phone just looks amazing. I can't even begin to tell you how amazing this phone looks and feels in your hands.
First of all "Dat Bezel". Its amazing how LG has made the bezel so thin which makes the phone looks really beautiful, just aesthetically pleasing. The bag also has some new features mainly (and LG is endorsing this feature a lot)  the two buttons with a button in between , which functions as a volume toggle and at the same time i believe that it lets you scroll between pages and your index

finger just naturally positions itself on these two buttons that it makes you feel why they never introduced it earlier.
You can also separately purchase a case for it which has a square cut-out in it which provides its own functionality.

Display:

The display is beautiful. Stunning. Eye Candy. Colorful. And this screen wonderfully compliments the color scheme of LG's new skin. Even though the skin looks chunky its colors are beautiful expressed through this 5.2 inch 1080x1920 screen with a pixel density of 424 ppi (yes it is a 5.2 inch screen with 424 ppi).
It is also protected with Corning's Gorilla Glass 3 for additional protection cause this phone looks really delicate if not fragile.

Internal Specs:

The specs inside this beast absolutely smashes benchmarks. Especially due to the fact that it has Qualcomm's newest and best chipset the Snapdragon 800 which is a Quad-Core processor clocked at around 2.2 GHz and the CPU is specifically a Krait 400.
The GPU running the graphics is the Adreno 330.

Camera:

Camera on this is amazing. It takes amazingly detailed pictures. The sensor is 13 MP. But what makes the photo taking experience not as good as the Note 3 or the S4 is the fact that the camera software isn't all that intuitive. Other than that its all thumbs up from me. It also has Optical Image Stabilization, HDR, and face detection.
The secondary camera features a 2.1 MP sensor.

Connectivity:

It features the regular I/O such as Bluetooth 4.0,Wi-Fi following in the footsteps of the latest Galaxy Devices it too features an Infra Red port.

Colors, Price And Battery:

The phone is available in two main colors, White and Black (classic).
You can buy the phone for about $580 unlocked from Amazon here.

Conclusion:

With LG's new direction the LG G2 is definitely the way to go. With its chart tearing specs it is definitely a phone to be reckoned with.

So that's my review on the LG G2.
Be sure to +1 this post on Google Plus because it would most definitely help us.
