Video: Behind the scenes of "The Commuter" the mini movie Shot on the Nokia N8
A few weeks ago we heard about a film (in which you could star in) joining the likes of Pamela Anderson, Ed Westwick (Gossip Girl) and now Dev Patel (Skins, SlumDogMilliiinaaayre :p and Avatar: The Last Air Bender).

Video: Nokia C7 "HD" TV out over 3.5mm jack?
The Nokia N8 as you know outputs 720p HD over HDMI. But the C7 lacks HDMI out, only having the standard multifunctional 3.5mm audio-visual jack.

Just how much better has the Nokia’s CBD AMOLED improved from the previous N900 TFT LCD (disregarding the N86 2.6″ AMOLED). The difference is startling.
