Review: Nokia Lumia 928/ My Verizon Nokia lumia 928 party: Crowdtap

My Review of the Nokia Lumia 928


The Nokia Lumia 928 smartphone, which released exclusively on Verizon Wireless is a Phone to be reckoned with. I was a loyal Android User Until I got the Nokia Lumia 928 from Verizon Wireless, Thanks to an amazing opportunity I got a  chance to experience something Bigger and Greater than Android and IOS. Windows phones are just rising and ready to challenge and defeat the competition.


The Nokia Lumia 928 is very sleek and stylish with an amazing screen and amazing sound, The camera on the Nokia Lumia 928 is unlike any other camera, no cell phone i ever tested snapped brilliant pictures like the Ones I have been taking on My nokia Lumia 928.
It's like i have become a photographer every picture so Vivid in color, No blurriness just awesome crisp colors in great quality. It beats the camera on both The Iphone5 and The Galaxy s4.


When I heard the Nokia Lumia 928 was a Windows Phone, I was kinda worried about the app market and available apps and games. But I am not disappointed, The windows store is packed with many fine apps, from twitter to facebook, and lots of other apps that people use each and everyday. Games? well it's very cool because you can get many games through the Xbox live games, sign in with your Xbox Live account, create and style your very own avatar and play many of the games online with the rest of the xbox live community.
I very Much enjoyed playing " Wordament"  for me it surpasses words with friends & Scrabble with friends.



The Nokia Lumia comes with built in wireless charging capabilities, I got a chance to try it out with the JBL powerup wireless charging speaker. It was very easy to connect to the speaker through bluetooth to play and listen to my Music, The sound was very crisp and clear it sounded like a concert in my living room. Even when not playing music just place your phone on top of the speaker and walk away, it charges just like that!

Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones book club



With the premiere of The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones movie , it's time to revisit the book that started it all! gather your friends and family for book club party to get them as excited for the movie as you are!

Thats exactly what me and My friends Did, We reread the Book, and we are set for the movie!

if you haven't read these books yet, you should because it's an amazing world to enter. And you will fall in love with the characters and story. I recomend these books to people of all ages!


Ok so I was practically splitting my head open thinking of what exactly I wanted to say about this book. In the end I just decided to go with what comes to mind. So here it goes...

Clare does a superb job of drawing you in. Maybe the plot isn't completely unique but the world she created is. I kept telling myself this is sooooooooooo interesting. The whole shadowhunter thing oozes with coolness. I mean half angel, half kick butt people! It doesn't get much cooler than that. The story is full of action and yes sometimes there are things added for dramatic effect, but isn't that the point? If you were looking for something more slow paced read The Mill on the Floss (personally I'd rather pull more hair then read this but moving on...)I'm a sucker for action sequences so this totally delivered on that front. The author's take on werewolves was original, and I gotta say they give the vampires a run for their money. I actually guessed most of the twists but that's some of the fun. Finding the hints and feeling the satisfaction of saying YES! Score for me I got it right! Let's do a little victory dance. (insert some break dancing moves I personally cannot do here) I think some people didn't get that guessing the twists is all part of the experience.

Some people claimed all of this to be fluff but I don't agree. Just look at Jace. The whole feeling about belonging has depth to it. Now for why I knocked off a star even though I REALLY didn't want to. I thought Clary would be more shocked about finding out her history. You'd think with how much her mother pounded in to her that there was not such thing as magic she would resist the whole idea more. Also I think the author tried to introduce too many fantasy creatures at once. Like the scene at Magnus Bane house was overdone for my taste. We could have done without so many new faces. Those are just little irks though, my main one was Valentine. I know this is going to sound outrageous but Valentine wasn't bad enough for me. I shouldn't feel this way looking at his track record he is evil. The thing is I wasn't scared of him. A good villain has got to be scary plain and simple.
