Gallery: Nokia N8 versus Sony Ericsson Satio versus Samsung Pixon 12 (Battle of the 12MP cam phones)
GSM Arena has already performed a shootout (blind one in fact in an attempt to reduce bias) of the Nokia N8 against the Samsung Pixon 12. Which as we know, comfortably won, beating out even the dedicated digital camera, the Sony HX5. They said that they didn’t bother with the Sony Ericsson Satio for two [...]
Gallery: Nokia N8 versus Samsung Galaxy S shootout.
Axel from blog-n8.fr compares his Nokia N8 with his Samsung Galaxy S (GT i9000). The difference is most astonishing, especially in low light the N8 shows that this is not merely any old camera phone. Look how much that bigger sensor helps the N8 capture photos in low light conditions (non flash assisted as flash [...]
Gallery: Quick 5MP Sample images from the Nokia X3-02 – excellent in good lighting…
The Nokia X3-02 Touch and Type has a fixed focus 5mp camera (no flash). I haven’t had a chance to properly test out the camera – these shots were mostly taken on the move (hence I’ve added to the blurring). Pictures are captured with the camera button on the touch screen. The camera takes photos [...]
Video: DivX/AVI playback on the Nokia X3-02
Oddly a feature some of the newer S40 phones can do but not last year’s flagship N97 or any S^1 from Nokia by default was to playback DivX/Xvid/AVI files. (N900 was a beast and handled DivX a beaut) Here on the X3-02 touch and type you can see out of the box it plays DivX. [...]
Video: U2 concert recorded with the Nokia N8
A while back we saw the N8 record in crystal clarity a Rihanna concert. Here’s the N8 again in a U2 concernt in Rome. Again, one of the overlooked features of video cameras is audio – and Nokia N8 has the best in ANY mobile phone right now and in several dedicated camera/compact video cam [...]

Celebrity Photographer, David LaChapelle to shoot with Nokia N8 in Australia (Subject? Could be you!)

720p Video: Very weird unboxing (smashing) of the Nokia N8 – filmed by the Nokia N8
As “UNBOXINGS” go, this is one of the weirdest ones I’ve ever seen. But hey, kudos to N8 for inspiring even crazy people to unbox it on camera and later getting them decent any time/anywhere HD cams to share their craziness world wide. The guy, aptly named Mr Tard Mo has uploaded a couple of [...]
Video: Nokia N8 vs Acer Liquid A1 AMOLED vs TFT LCD
Here’s a video by MForumRu showing the Nokia N8′s AMOLED display against the Acer Liquid A1′s TFT LCD. [YOUTUBE=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcegk0oWng8] On a side note – those animations on the Acer Android phone are looking really awesome – the reorganizing photo viewer is quite nice than a simple “bang” i’m rotated.
HyperX .sis mod available for the Public – 30FPS 720p and Near RAW minimal image compression for higher detail
We saw in excitement the renowned hyperX mod Nokia’s latest flagship – the N8; first bumping up image quality to reduce pretty much all the compression so that the already high detail N8 produces something quite remarkable for such a compact phone. Next we have the bump up of 30FPS from 25FPS for [...]
Video: An American kid's thoughts on the Nokia N8
An American Kid’s thoughts on the Nokia N8. Flicking through YouTube I came across what was supposedly a “review” of the N8 by this kid, “ObviouslyAwsome“. Well first it’s not a review, more a reel of thoughts on the N8 itself. What’s interesting however is that whilst he seems to be anticipating the iPhone 4 [...]

Video Demo: Nokia Panorama on the Nokia N8
Last week we saw that Nokia Panorama was available on the Ovi Store for the Nokia N8. Below is a video demo shot by nuuneoi from showing “Nokia Panorama” in action.

Videos: PhoneArena's 2 Part review of the Nokia N8 – a good phone? Of course it is, we'd even go so far to say it's a GR8 phone
PhoneArena reviews the N8 wondering if it lives up to all the hype. Design wise, N8 feels extremely solid – good weighting behind it. Flat top and bottom edge – we were dubious at first but it really helps when picking up the handset. AMOLED colours are really vibrant and pixel density is good. In [...]
