As mentioned last time this was supposed to be part of the Video comparison- but the huge difference in quality called for a separate post for the videos – so here it is, a look at The Camera UI/Gallery on both the N9 and the Lumia 800 as well as some photo samples. Apologies in advance as [...]
There is quite a few FM Radio apps for the N9 available now, but this is one of my favourite. Simple, good looking, and feature packed. It features; Auto scan function, The ability to save stations, Customisable station names Manual tuning Choice of headphones or speaker (although headphones act as antenna and must be plugged [...]
Hamdhan who let us know earlier about the Belle Update for Nokia 500 (providing us screenshots too) shares his review of his experience with Nokia Belle on his Nokia 500 with MNB’s readers. I thought it would be very interesting given the lack of GPU on the thing and the dependency of S^3 to offload [...]
The amazing people at Nokia Connects were nice enough to send me a Lumia 800 to trial out for a while, so first off a shout out them for making this possible, they have some truly wonderful people working for them. Now a bit about the extent of my relationship with OSes other than Symbian/S^3, [...]
It’s been a while since we mentioned anything about Symbian apps so here’s a nice FREE one to keep you busy, Incredible Circus by Developers INDT is a cute loosely physics based game where you star as a circus stunt performer, your objective is straight-forward: get to the top platform. But as always it’s not that simple, you have to bounce [...]
If you follow me on Twitter you would know that Nokia Connects shipped me out a Lumia 800 to trial. (Yes, Nokia Connects. Shipped to Australia from the UK ) As you also know, Nokia Australia sent me an N9 to keep, so I can constantly bring new updates on the device and reviews. I [...]
I’m not exactly sure how many of you are racing enthusiasts, even if you aren’t I suggest you try this app (Yes I’m recommending the app before even starting the review, here’s why). Personally I consider myself an above-average car fan, nothing over the top but just enough to get excited when I see a rare car [...]
It’s been a long known fact that all Nokia phones no matter what OS they run have one thing that makes them superior to any other brand; their build quality, and in all honesty that’s what really matter, who cares if your phone has a 23GhZ processor if it breaks the first time you toss [...]
About two or three weeks ago the developers of the cross-platform messaging application Kik promised us a impending ‘beta-testers’ version of Kik for symbian, to my surprise the link I got in my email was for the final official version being distributed over the NOKIA store. Wonderful fast job by all the Kik Devolopers! thank you. (Live-Profile I have nothing [...]
We’ve brought you articles on the PR 1.1 FW being rolled out, available on NaviFirm and also Jason from SmashPop. After watching the video I thought I’d post up my thoughts on the update as well as details about the changes I have noticed. I’ll talk about a few things in this post. New Features [...]
This review comes from our reader FireDragon. He installed iWindows on his N8 running Anna. Here’s what he thought. I was checking this application and I like it so far other than how it looks. iWindows brings a Windows Start Button to the Homescreen, over lapping the “Option” button. The Start Button’s graphic is horrible [...]
In the first half of my review, I was thoroughly impressed with the hardware aspect of Nokia N9. Now it’s time to dive into the software department of this unique phone, and things are starting to look even more intriguing…
So I told you all I’d bring you a review after about two weeks with the device. Here it is. I’ll tell you what I’m enjoying, what needs some work, and just some other ideas I have. So first we have what I enjoy: The build quality of the device is better than I expected. [...]
The long and controversial journey of Nokia N9 is finally over. Whether or not one should be worried that it’s the first and last MeeGo phone from Nokia, one thing is clear – it’s an incredible smartphone worthy of attention. Author’s note: My initial idea was to deliver all my impressions and conclusive thoughts on [...]
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, [...]
This is my final review of the pre-installed apps on the N9. This video demonstrates YouTube, Skype, Track & Protect, Angry Birds, Galaxy On Fire 2, NFS Shift and Real Golf 2011. YOUTUBE The YouTube app on the N9 is simply a bookmark to the mobile site. The mobile site is a lot like the [...]
After the feedback about how bad the Accounts, Facebook, Twitter and Settings video was, I filmed it again. I didn’t go in depth again, as there isn’t really a point to it, as settings is the only in depth thing needed there, and well, that was watchable. Apologies for lack of auto-focus and the high [...]
Nearing the end of my initial reviews, we have Calculator, Documents, Feed and AP Mobile. CALCULATOR Very simple to use, no explanation required. Only criticism is no option for scientific mode, yet, like I say in the video, they are apps for that. DOCUMENTS Since recording the video, I have used documents once. Again, very [...]
This is gonna be long if I have to type out the whole thing, so I’ll just do a summary. I think this video is quite detailed, (sometimes backtracking as I remember secondary things), so I don’t wanna waste too much time, both my own, and yours, the reader. Apparently it was too long for [...]
In the next video, I do a quick demo/review of the N9′s Camera app, Gallery, Music player and Video player. CAMERA [Note: This is not meant to represent camera quality, only the UI] Although it’s not the 12mp of the N8, I still think it’s very good. I never actually used all 12mp on my [...]
In this review, I’ll be showing you Nokia Maps, Drive Navigation, Ovi Music and the Nokia Store. MAPS Maps takes a bit of time to boot. Don’t worry, your new N9 isn’t laggy already. I think it has a very well designed interface. Like the video says, not sure yet how to add more [...]
