Opinion: Nokia N9 does have superior signal

Opinion: Nokia N9 does have superior signal

| October 23, 2011 | 30 Replies

Advertisements We have heard regularly that the polycarbonate body of the Nokia N9 is supposed to increase signal strength. Unfortunately, I’m not qualified to conduct proper RF tests, but I have conducted my “unofficial, unqualified and possibly inaccurate test”. My test was simple. Compare the signal strength of two phones (N9 and N8) operating on […]

| October 21, 2011 | 9 Replies

Something that we haven’t seen demoed outside of Nokia launch events, is the NFC capabilities between two phones. There are a few videos showing it working with the Play 360 speakers, but not too many with two phones. I managed to get a loan N9 from Nokia, and have recorded a little NFC demo. (Sorry […]

I had a request to extract the N9 fonts, so others can use it on Symbian. Sorry it took me a while to post it, just been busy with exams. There were several font types listed in the system’s Fonts folder, yet these are the ones included under “Nokia”, so I thought I’d just extract […]

Rambling and Suspicion regarding N9 update

| October 17, 2011 | 72 Replies

This is NOT my “two weeks on” review, a little rant if you may. Anything from here-on in is solely speculation.( And massive wishful thinking.) I was digging around in the system files, and came across the icons used throughout the system. Some of which I altered, such as Firefox(Fennec), which I swapped out the […]

N9 vs. N8 – Night Photo Comparison

| October 16, 2011 | 32 Replies

We have seen a lot of photo comparisons between the current king of camera-phones, the N8, and Nokia’s latest smartphone, the “beautifully simple” N9. The undisputed champion is still the N8. However, these comparisons have only been taken during the day. I decided that some night-time comparisons were in order. Below I have comparisons of […]

Nokia N9 Review – Summary and overall thoughts (Warning: Long read)

| October 12, 2011 | 92 Replies

Okay so I know I haven’t done the best job out there and I’m the first to agree it was rushed. Mainly because people want to know everything about a phone before they buy it, and seeing as it’s being released already in many countries, there isn’t really the luxury of taking my time. Still, […]
