Video: N900 vs iPhone video shootout

| December 31, 2009 | Reply

Advertisements Another test from James Burland places the 848X480 recording N900 against the 640X480 iPhone 3GS. James notes that currently the N900 suffers from frame rate drops and at times confusion with exposure. The frame rate issue is supposedly going to be fixed in the next firmware update.

Not really a Nokia post, but an intriguing watch nonetheless. Basically how a modern mobile OS should feel and how the UI should look. Nokia touch phones are often more functional [aka plain/boring] when it comes to the UI. Only recently with the N900 have Nokia users experienced eye candy UI out of the box. […]

James Burland's N900 Video Sample Compilation

James Burland of Nokia Creative [and MNB :)] has put together a beautiful video compilation he’s shot on his N900. Quality wise the N900 is very good (I’m guessing youtube/video editor may have degraded slightly from original but it’s still very good). As well as being the highest resolution video from Nokia at 848X480, it’s […]

[Forgive the length of this post. This was originally an extremely short post to show that out of Techradar’s “10 phones that defined a decade, 5 were Nokia handsets] On Friday, it will have been a whole decade since we entered the new millennium. 10 years since 2000? How did that happen so quickly? What’s […]

The N900 is a great phone, but it is (as Nokia themselves have more or less said) a work in progress. I’ll say it again, it’s step 4 of 5 to Maemo glory. Software evolution to one side (see firmware update wishlist for N900),  understandably, this early adopter product isn’t physically “perfect” for mass market. I.E. […]
