There are so many ways you can express yourself with music, and so many ways to take your music along with you. But Nokia makes sure that everyone’s musical preferences are accommodated with the release of two new Nokia XpressMusic devices – the Nokia 5730 and the Nokia 5630. Each new XpressMusic phone comes with superior audio quality as well as unique features that will make your mobile phone experience more interactive and enjoyable.

Nokia 5730 XpressMusic

The Nokia 5730 is the first XpressMusic phone with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard for quick messaging. The phone is designed not just to provide excellent music quality wherever you take your phone with you; it also complements your online lifestyle. The Homescreen of the device provides dynamic information and access to contacts, music, N-Gage, and other applications like Facebook, Ovi Contacts, Maps, Photos, and more. The Ovi Contacts enables you to check out which of your friends are online, and even shows what tracks they’re listening to at the moment.

In the Philippines, laptop owners have to live with the fact that there’s a very high chance that their laptops will get stolen from them – even if they leave it at home. And if there’s any Think Geek product that should come to the Philippines, it should be the DormVault. Originally designed to for paranoid college students dorming with untrustworthy roommates (although really – what’s there to be paranoid about?), the DormVault is a big metal box with a simple lock and bolts from the inside, keeping it safe from cheap bolt-cutters. When the lid is closed and locked, the wing-nuts that keep the vault glued to your bed or wall gets locked in with your laptop. The DormVault can accommodate a 17″ laptop, and accessories. You can even keep an external hard drive in there, or small gadgets like your phone. The DormVault also comes with bolts and mounting brackets so you can permanently attach it to a large piece of furniture, like a bed or the wall.

Available for $59.99 at Think Geek.

Since Microsoft is coming out with an HD Zune on September 15, it’s only natural that Apple should release some hot new iPods at around that time. On September 9, Apple is hosting a press event called Let’s Rock to announce a new iPod Nano. It’s not confirmed yet, but the new iPods are said to have OLED screens, cameras, social network features on iTunes 9, and the new Cocktail feature which puts together full-length albums and interactive content. Aside from the new iPods, Apple CEO Steve Jobs will also be appearing at the September keynote. He hasn’t made a public appearance since October of last year due to health problems but he’s been back at work since June and will most likely be unveiling the new iPod Nanos himself.

“Not another point-and-shoot camera!” you’re probably thinking. But the Samsung CL65 is different from all the rest. This 12.2-megapixel camera has a 3.5-inch touchscreen LCD display with a 1,152k resolution and a 35mm Schneider-Kreuznach lens with 5x optical zoom. It’s als capable of recording 720p HD video at 30fps. But what makes this device really stand out is that it has WiFi connectivity and Bluetooth 2.0. They’re both DNLA compliant, which means you can upload images and videos directly onto HDTVs and networked media players. The WiFi connection also lets you upload images and video to YouTube, Facebook, Picasa, and other websites, but at a low 2-megapixel resolution. You can also e-mail photos and video right from the touchscreen.

Other features include built-in geotagging, HDMI connectivity, and an embedded PC photo editing software.

The Samsumg CL65 is coming out on September 200 for $399.99. I haven’t had personal experience using a Samsung point and shoot yet, but Samsung’s known to produce fairly reliable gadgets.
