Nokia N9. The Review. Part 1.

Nokia N9. The Review. Part 1.

| October 18, 2011 | 67 Replies

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 [...]

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, [...]

| October 12, 2011 | 38 Replies

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 [...]

Short Nokia E6-00 Review from MyNokiaBlog.com

| July 1, 2011 | 44 Replies

It seems so strange that it was all the way back in January that we found out about a possible E6-00. Starting with leaked sample images, then details about a supposed all new VGA screen. We speculated about the design, until the first leaks appeared and we weren’t all too happy. But then clearer photos [...]

Video: PhoneArena’s Nokia Astound review – for $79.99 on contract, you really can’t knock on the Nokia Astound.

| March 30, 2011 | 18 Replies

ThePhoneArena folks review the Nokia Astound (aka C7). It’s a pretty good review, covering a broad range of points including the often missed call quality/reception/battery life. The review is on the whole positive except for the web browsing experience which I cannot defend. Thank goodness for Opera Mobile 11. One solidly built handset all around. [...]

Nokia taking Symbian development back in house, Foundation remains to control licensing and patents

  As mentioned before in the press release Jay posted, and has been rumored in the blogosphere for quite a while, it seems that Nokia and the Symbian board have taken a decisive step towards improving the Symbian OS, speeding up time to market, improving developer and OEM relations and at the same time cut [...]

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

| October 9, 2010 | Reply

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 [...]

The all knowing Eldar has posted another preview of a Nokia device, this time the S^3 powered C7. As is customary he speaks little to the functionality and more to the flashiness of the interface, once again stamping on it’s lack of novelty or spice. His conclusion? “Those who are accustomed to Symbian and know [...]

Nokia C6 Review: The good, the bad and the smart

| August 8, 2010 | 80 Replies

Introduction Ever since it’s release under the Nokia’s Cseries branding, the Nokia C6 was bound to attract some attention. And for a good reason. The budget price range is quite unusual for what it offers in return: attractive design, a touchscreen enforced with a slide-out qwerty keyboard and all the connectivity you can eat, including [...]
