N95 8gb RSS FeedNokia = best camera? Competition time!
July 20th, 2008
Over at The Nokia Blog, Mark Guim has posted an intriguing little test to see if his readers can tell the difference between photos taken on the N95, the E71 and the iPhone.
There isn’t much of a debate in the comment stream as to which device took which snap, but the differences are clear to see and well explained by some who have ‘entered’ Mark’s comp. There is 100% agreement at which pic was captured by the N95, but a little difference of opinion about the other two. Why not head over there and judge for yourself? And while you’re there, leave your thoughts about the relative merits of each device.

Use your Nokia the environmentally friendly way…
July 18th, 2008
You might not think it, but that device in your pocket has some green tricks up its sleeve.
Writing on The Nokia Blog, Matthew Stevens talks about ways you can use your Nokia to cut down on printing itineraries, confirmations etc when going on holiday. Using the power of the PDF, not to mention online email back-ups and adequate security measures, Matthew talks through his ideas on cutting ‘travel clutter’. Jump over for the full run down.
If you do a lot of globetrotting but feel you could do more to offset your carbon emissions, you might want to check out We:Offset, a nifty app for S60 that will not only calculate your carbon emissions but allow you to offset it quickly and easily should you wish.
Have you come across any other tips to stay green with your Nokia? Jump over and leave a comment for Matthew.

N95 8GB arrives and is revealed – silently
July 16th, 2008
Emon from Emonome has taken delivery of his N95 8GB, and brings us his initial thoughts as well as one of the most idiosyncratic unboxing videos ever seen.
Fans of Cloverfield / Blair Witch Project will revel in the silent, fast-cut, innovatively shot video which shows most things out of the box, and some details of the device. And not for Emon the tedium of describing everything as it is revealed – if you want to know what it is, just work it out for yourself. After the rollercoaster of the unboxing, the post is more straightforward with Emon taking to time to run through the features of the device that impress most. He praises the 5MP Carl Zeiss camera unit, saying his videos will now be of a ‘much, much better quality’ (we presume than the Cybershot he has been using). He only had a few hours with the device before his post, but is already ‘loving it!’
Do you agree with Emon that the N95 8GB is as good as he reckons? Is there anything you’d like to see him explore in his next video update? Head over and let him know.

Switching between Nokias? No problem!
July 13th, 2008
Over at Symbian Guru, Dotsisx has produced something that most of us could do with, a clear and concise guide to switching devices.
Dubbed ‘the ultimate’ guide for switching between handsets, she outlines the exact order in which to carry out tasks to avoid the loss of vital infomation (we’ve all done it) when you finally ditch the old device. Starting with pairing the two devices via Bluetooth, zipping all the apps into one file on your PC, and saving interesting stuff like Sports Tracker information to memory cards, Dotsisx has it all covered. She even has a way to teach your new device all the T9 words that your handset ‘learned’…perfect stuff to avoid the tedium of entering them all over again.
Is there anything Dotsisx missed? Any tips you have for others on transferring data? Has this guide saved your life? Jump over and let Dotsisx know.

N95-4 8GB NAM – put through the mill
July 10th, 2008
Over on the Phone News pages, Christopher Price has posted a review of the ‘Grossly, grossly, grossly overpriced’ N95-4 8GB NAM…I think we can see where this one’s going.
The whole post is a comparison between the Nokia device and the iPhone, and there are actually some positive views aired about various aspects of the Finnish handset. The Carl Zeiss unit is ‘the best [they’ve] ever used inside’ a device, but that’s about as far as it goes. The WiFi is described as ‘the worst [they’ve] ever seen short of a Linux system’, any sort of browsing was ‘extremely sluggish’ and Maps 2.0 had many North American limitations. The main gripe, though, is with the price point, with Christopher saying the extra dollars secure the consumer a ‘better camera, buggy Stereo Bluetooth, buggy modem’. Not awfully impressed then.
What do you think of Christopher’s views? Is there anything you’d like to point out to him that he may have overlooked about the Nokia? Jump over and let him know.

Smooth out your fonts on the N95 8GB
July 9th, 2008
Mark Guim from The Nokia Blog has found a handy piece of software that can make your menus that much prettier. If like Mark, you’re somewhat unimpressed by the ‘rough’ fonts the latest firmware update brought to the N95 8GB Nam, he has some news that may be of interest.
FontRouter rounds off and smooths out all the pixelated fonts and making them ‘more pleasing to read’. With some great screen shot close up examples, mark provides a great ‘How To’ for installing the software. With anti-aliasing turned off, this should work on devices other than the N95 8GB NAM, but Mark doesn’t know which ones, and he says he is confused as to why the firmware update changed the fonts. Hopefully this should sort out the problems that people have been having who like anti-aliasing turned off.
What do you think of the fonts right now? Do you need to smooth them out? Is there anything else FontRouter could do for you? Let Mark know by leaving him a comment.

Speed up your S60
June 30th, 2008
Mike from The Nokia N82 Blog has come up with a way to make navigating your device quicker by rearranging your menus and folders, making it easier to find the application that you’re after. Also, he gives us tips on using the keypad to shortcut to items on the screen. Handy tips for those who find themselves endlessly searching through menus to reach the app they’re after.
Mark Guim from The Nokia Blog has provided another of his excellent videos demonstrating SkyeQuikey, a nifty way of finding your way to any contact, app or bookmark. Downloading the helpful app will allow you to simply type the first few letters of any of the above to be taken straight there.
Both excellent ways to cut down on the time it takes to get from A to B, and reduce frustrations trying to find where you want to be. Head over to either of the sites above and ask any questions, or add your thoughts on what ways you have found to cut down time.

N95 app: Cop cam catcher
June 30th, 2008
It was only going to be a matter of time, what with Nokia Maps and GPS, but someone has developed a speed camera warning system for the N95. Both Neil Bird from iGadgetLife and Apoc from Symbian Freak report on the app.
Running in the background whilst Nokia Maps or any other app runs in the foreground, and pops up an audio-visual warning whenever a speed trap approaches. Handy for those of us zipping around the country (legally, of course) and who have been caught out by obviously poorly calibrated cameras. Neil describes the numerous and lengthy processes to get the software installed, but says it is worth it for the peace of mind that you get from knowing you are under the speed limit. Apoc provides some advice on where to get the relevant files and downloads to make your life easier.
Do you think this app will help when you’re driving? Is there anything else you’d like to see added? Jump over and leave Neil a comment, or have your say in the SF forum thread.

The audio test: N95-4 vs N82
June 27th, 2008
When your car stereo conks out, what do you do? Sing to yourself as you trundle about, or employ the services of a high end Nseries device? The answer is the latter, obviously. At least it is if you’re Mobile Dan!
When testing the N95 and N82 on the same track, with the same settings, the N82 was found to be marginally better, when listening in a moving car through the speakers. There wasn’t much in it, but the N82’s speakers seemed to cope better with louder volumes. Dan also mentions the other audio facets (storage, headphones sound) as well as more general features of the two devices in this post, so head over if you’re looking for a new comparison.
What are your experience of the audio capabilities on the N95 8GB and the N82? Jump over to leave your comments.
