Here’s another side by side split screen comparison between the Nokia N8 and this time the Samsung Wave.

(Noticeable in the car portion) [YOUTUBE=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMODvvrQDcw]] Next – iPhone 4. I don’t understand […]

A nice setting that’s been on Nseries for quite a while is the ability to switch to black and white photos. Sure you could post process later but I don’t really bother with things like that. With the N8, you don’t need to. In addition, you can tweak the contrast and the exposure levels to […]

The Nokia C7 combines classical Nokia design, with all the functionality you […]

Smartphoneenvy takes a look at the Nokia N8 but closely against the google Android powered Samsung Galaxy S (Arguably one Android phones). It’s in four parts. “Specs, Maps, Navigation and Unofficial Speed Test” [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mG4h0EehGvk] User Interface [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRPW7eOZyJw] Gallery and YouTube [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qG2oLA7bJdY] Browser (oh the woes).
