N76 Sounds

MD-6 speakers trialled with the N95 8GB

March 11th, 2008

Enjoying music is just one of the many things you can do with your Nseries device. Devin Ballentina at The Nokia Guide looks at whether you can increase that enjoyment by using the Nokia MD-6 speakers.

The main down point with the MD-6 speakers is that they take 4x AAA batteries. Devin sees this as environmentally irresponsible, not to mention a hassle buying and even removing them all the time. He reckons a rechargeable battery utilising the standard Nokia charger would be best all round. On a more positive note (literally) the sound was great and a marked improvement on the internal speakers on his N95 8GB. They’re also very portable and sturdy as well, prompting Devin to mark them as a 7/10.

Nokia acquires Twango: good for your Nseries?

July 26th, 2007

Jonathan Greene of atmaspheric | endeavors has been musing over Nokia’s recent acquisition of the social media site Twango. This new ‘endeavour’ for the Nseries will allow for more seamless integration for your device’s videos, pictures and audio with the rest of the internet world.

Jonathan isn’t so sure that Nokia have made the best move here, saying that their focus is on the wrong place, with the Twango developments complicating connectivity rather than simplifying it. Whether you agree with him or you think Nokia are making the correct steps, let him know.
