Video: Split Screen Nokia N8 versus iPhone 4 video (and audio) test
Here’s a video comparison of the Nokia N8 and the iPhone 4 split screen style by BesteProduct. Is that really the N8? I didn’t realise it was that good in comparison to iPhone 4. What’s with that murkiness on the iPhone 4 – it seems rather washed out in this test. Interestingly they also switch [...]

FREEWARE: Nokia Panorama Available at the Ovi Store for your Nokia N8 (And Nokia N900)
An alternative to Morpho QuickPanorama “Nokia Panorama” is now available at the Ovi Store for free. In contrast to Morpho, the detail seems MUCH higher with the Nokia version. The seams are pretty much invisible. The pic below is from Damien Dining. I don’t have a N8 to test this out so I’m not sure [...]
Nokia N8 as a laptop – HDMI + Apple Bluetooth keyboard and Mouse
Well technically that’s a portable desktop since laptops are integrated. But that’s just being finicky. As Noah from PhoneDog notes, whilst other handsets may have HDMI, they may only produce Videos/Photos in the output where as the Nokia N8 will replicate the ENTIRE phone experience through HDMI meaning it could really be your portable computer. [...]
Video: Teaser of the Nokia N8 French Party (filmed on the N8)
Jean-Baptiste sends this video in of an official Nokia France video of the N8 French party – filmed on the N8. Unfortunately however, it seems stuck on 360p (no 720p available to appreciate the quality) This party took place in Paris, on September 16th in the Tokyo Palace. Nokia France proposed us several stands (5 [...]
Telegraph Reviews the Nokia N8: Nokia N8 has staying power – the Finnish company’s first successful touchscreen phone.
As tech reviews within tech blogs goes, they often stick within the circles of the tech blogosphere. That’s unless your review unit is a stolen/lost prototype. The opinions that reflect opinion of John Doe are usually those not from your general tech sources but the humble daily newspapers for example. The telegraph is one of [...]

Results are in from the shootout. The much favoured C (which many assumed to be the Sony HX5 digital camera) turned out to be the Nokia N8 (though others deduced it was N8 due to other factors). It was a clear first place for the Nokia N8 scoring 161 FIRST place votes compared to 32 [...]
Video and Gallery: Nokia BH-905i Stereo Bluetooth Headset unboxing (and comparison with original BH-905)
Very rough one hand unboxing video (minus the boxes) I got home from a PBL course meal to a notification of a package? What was it? The Nokia BH-905i! The new updated model of the noise cancelling Bluetooth (with wired option) BH-905. The package is similar to the original except that when you go inside.. [...]
Video: Nokia N8 Hack 2: Continuous Autofocus!
Yesterday hyperX showed us his hack for creating pretty much “RAW” noise “free” images” and 30FPS 720p video. We also noted that amongst those that the N8 team are working on for official consumer firmware release, another noted by Damien Dining was continuous autofocus. Lo and behold, hyperX has done it again now with continuous [...]

High expectations have been placed on the Nokia N8′s much advertised camera. Comparisons have flung here and there and now the much awaited coverage by GSM Arena begins.

MeeGo devices this year? Intel says no.
Well in news that’s sure to bum out a number of us both here and elsewhere in the blogosphere, it would seem that we won’t be seeing any actual MeeGo devices (in our own hands at least) before the first half of 2011. Doug Fisher, Vice President of Intel’s Software and Solutions Group and General [...]
Newer version of MeeGo running on the N900
Here’s a video of a newer build of MeeGo, complete with hardware graphics acceleration (or so it would seem ) That said, it’s a lot smoother and faster than previous builds we’ve seen before and looks to be coming along nicely. The other piece of good news is that it seems like MeeGo 1.1 is [...]
Ari Jaaksi, VP of MeeGo Devices resigns
Well that’s something none of us expected. Given Nokia’s push for MeeGo as their singular high-end solution to compete with (read: crush) iOS and Android and the amount of buzz that has been generated both within and external to the company about this coming OS, it’s rather surprising that one of the most important men [...]

During my lecture I read some comments here (thanks Alex68 for tip) and on twitter about hyperX’s mod for the N8 (he’s the guy responsible for giving the i8910 life after the glorious abandonment from Samsung) – google didn’t show anything but vaibhav from the handheldblog found the original hyperX post. First to note is [...]

27 minute hands-on with the Nokia N8
Matthew Miller from Nokia Experts and ZDNet has put up a 27 minute hands on with a certain blue Nokia N8. Given that he’s somewhat well-versed in the use of Symbian devices it was a pretty smooth and thorough run-through given the obvious time and format limitations. Some of the key take-aways from his video [...]
