Mega Gallery: Happy Halloween with the Nokia N8! Incredible Extreme Low Light performance for Nights Out!
Happy Halloween folks! If you’re out and about tonight, perhaps in costume, you’ll certainly be wanting to save those memories. A phone won’t do right – you’ll have to bring your camera too. Well… One of the reasons the Nokia N82 has triumphed for so long is it’s undisputed performance in EXTREME low light – [...]
Nokia N900 Low Light Video and Live Band Fantastic Audio Quality Samples
These are some short clips taken by the Nokia N900 to show low it’s performance in really low light and handling extremely loud audio recording (by the guys from “Platform Six“. The speakers were pretty much above the N900. As you can hear, the audio recording is fantastic. Where most other phones (and even dedicated digicams) would [...]
Video: Nokia N900 Startup time (on Pre-Production Firmware)
This is nothing of major significance. I just like to have some record of start up times (to see in firmware upgrades down the line if it’s improving or not). To make things fair, time starts from “pressing on” until I see the screen (easier to make comparable results this way) For comparison: the N97 [...]
Video: Nokia N900 Video Samples (low light – and also a 16:9 photo sample)
(Low Light) Video Samples from the Nokia N900. Note, the N900 is not yet at final production software. Also, if you’re watching this within the first few hours of me posting, YouTube may not yet have converted it properly yet. Update: If the video playback appears choppy, it does NOT look like that in the [...]
Video: Samples of the Nokia N86's impressive DIGITAL zoom
Earlier in July, the All About Symbian crew discovered a rather brilliant feature in the N86 that was never spoken about by Nokia. Real, usable digital zoom that preserved much more detail than previous/standard methods. James Burland from Nokia Creative, using the Steve’s same N86 shows us again exactly how good that zoom is in [...]
Video: Nokia N97 vs HTC Touch Pro2
The Nokia N97 and the HTC Touch Pro2 are two similar looking devices with very similar array of features. I was very impressed with the spec sheet of the Touch Pro2, and back in April felt that it’s what the N97 should have been, at least in terms of being having a better QWERTY keyboard, [...]
Video: Nokia N97 Startup time on V11.0.021
The new firmware (V11.0.021) is 6 seconds slower than V10, clocking 34s whereas before, we got 28s. However, there are several bug fixes in this firmware which hopefully means we won’t be needing to restart too frequently. The improvements are definitely worth the firmware upgrade (not always the case) The full change log (and annoyances [...]
Video: Browser War – iPhone 3GS vs Nokia N97
TheReviveDone takes a look at the Nokia N97′s browser and compares it with the iPhone 3GS’ over WiFi. I’ve been using the N97 on the go, predominantly over O2′s 3G and I’m moderately pleased with the browser. Flash hasn’t been too stable at the moment, with youtube forcing the browser to crash (less of a [...]
Camera Tests: Nokia N82 vs Samsung Innov8 vs Nokia N97 vs Nokia N86
Nokia and Carl Zeiss have bestowed upon the N86 imaging enhancements beyond just upping the resolution from 5MP to 8MP; wide angle, improved latency, large aperture, better sensor in general all resulting (at least on paper) in improved image quality. As you can see from Rafe’s test, the N86 is superior in all conditions, except [...]
Video: Nokia N97 Drop Test
This is the next instalment of N97geek’s physical testing of the N97. Now it’s the drop test, where the poor N97 enjoys Newton’s gravity over different surfaces: Grass Gravel Concrete With so much inside that could have gone wrong, Paul reports that the N97 held up brilliantly, the screen did not crack or scratch receiving [...]
Review: Engadget's surprisingly positive review of the Nokia N97
With Engadget receiving pretty much a less than satisfactory experience with the 5800, then the Nokia N97 getting a scathing review over at Boy Genius Report together with some voiced disappointment in blogs and forums over the N97, it was indeed a surprise to read Engadget’s weighty review of the N97 and see it receiving [...]
Nokia N86 Review by Rafe Blandford
If there was one person in this world I would trust on having an overwhelming understanding of Nokia and Symbian, it would be Rafe blandford. What Rafe doesn’t know about Symbian isn’t really worth knowing. You may have read his review of the Nokia N86 already, but if you haven’t, please check it out >>click<< [...]
Nokia N97 Camera Test
James Burland of Nokia Creative is putting the Nokia N97 (which he helped his work colleague win from the Search for N… contest) through a series of rigorous tests. Notice in the colour shots how much more vibrant the colours are from the N97 than the N95 8GB, particularly the yellows reds and pinks. Also [...]
Nokia N97 Sample Photos!
Now the N97 is by no way a Camera oriented device; not in today’s standards anyway (Grrr, Nokia!!) but 5MP Carl Zeiss isn’t too shabby at all. Below are some image samples said to have been taken by the N97. I say “said” as it looks astonishingly good compared to previous photo samples we’ve seen [...]
Get flown out for free to New York/London/Helsinki to test out Ovi and get paid $100 for your thoughts
…or if you don’t like travelling, you can share your thoughts over the phone. If you are up for travelling, you’ll be going to one of the research centres in New York/London or Helsinki where you’ll use Ovi, “on the internet, a PC and on a mobile phone”. Throughout, you’ll be sharing your thoughts about [...]
How the durabiliy of Nokia phones are tested!
Nokia has been well known for a selection of fortuitously rugged phones. I bet many of you still have a working 3300 despite the many times you have dropped it. Or what about that 1600 that was found in the belly of a fish but still worked? My N82 lives even after swimming in a [...]
Nokia N82: Early Morning at the Park
This morning, I took out the N82 along with the N82 to the park so I could check it out during the day. Last night, the N82 showed some prowess when it came to its night/low light conditions. It is by far, the best Nokia phone for low lighting conditions. (More testing is going to [...]
