Some N96 browser chat

May 27th, 2009

The use of the built in browser on the N96 device and the ways of getting the best possible capability from it is a source of discussion over on the Nokia Users forum.

While it is acknowledged to have its limitations by all the users (particularly memory capacity) users are noting that installing updates is recognised as removing this issue. What are your experiences? If you’re using the N96 for a lot of browsing, check it out.

Some Friday fun…

May 22nd, 2009

Nice article here from Webdesigner Depot that runs through the long term evolution of mobile devices. Suffice to say there’s a great Nokia contingent in there (and some good nuggets of nostalgia!), but it’s mostly a great way to get yourself thinking about how the current crop, E71, N96 etc fit into the larger scheme of things.

Does it inspire any thoughts?

AAS Insight – N96, N97 and a new release

May 12th, 2009

The latest All About Symbian podcast is worth a listen for anyone interested in the new E52, the N96 firmware or the N97.

Rafe, Steve and Ewan begin their conversation concerning a new Eseries Device – the E52 – which bears a striking resemblance to the E55 or maybe even ‘a huge upgrade from the E51.’

Steve feels the firmware upgrade for the N96 has been a ‘long time coming’ and the v20.050 is a huge update with a lot of features, but Ewan would have liked a higher version of the Nokia Messaging included. As for the N97, Steve argues ‘speed isn’t everything’.

Head over to AAS and have a listen, then get involved in the discussion.

Reasons to ditch the N96

April 29th, 2009

Cj has had his N96 for about 6 months, and he’s finally decided it’s time to move on.

He lists his reasons, which include a ’slow’ OS, the lack of xenon flash and a battery that couldn’t support FP2 with enough juice to justify it’s existence. Ultimately, it just couldn’t replace the N82 in terms of camera power, or the N95 for ease of use and stability.

What are your thoughts on the N96? Was it as disappointing for you as for Cj? Head over and let him know.

Some apps to get your teeth into

April 23rd, 2009

Chaos Inc has put together a neat list of the most useful Python and Accelerometer based applications over at Nokia Symbian Themes. There’s a good range in there from classic solutions such as rotate me (if you’re still toting an older handset) to utilities that will send you to tweaking nirvana.

Do you agree with Chaos Inc’s list? Jump over and offer up your favorites.

N96 is ‘an excellent choice’…

April 17th, 2009

…for those who want to access their media on the go, according to Flint.

He was particularly impressed by the array of options for viewing and transferring various forms of media and the dedicated keys that enable easy access. Watching video on the screen is ‘crisp and clear and colours are vivid’, and ‘robust’ playlist support makes separating tunes easy.

Have you used the N96 to access your media on the move? Head over and let Flint know how you got on.

What does your device say about you?

April 16th, 2009

Adam at P8Z.com has written a helpful little comparison of the 5800 and the N96, their differences, similarities and what makes them so ‘widely desirable’.

He reckons that the N96 has a ‘sophisticated look that has appealed more to professionals and adults’ whilst the 5800 ‘is cool looking with a bright display’.

Interesting stuff, do you agree with Adam? What has attracted you to these devices and what has put you off? Head over and drop him a comment.

April 6th, 2009

As the new kid on the block, the E75 is bound to be compared to other devices, and there are a couple of gallery posts that we thought worth sharing.

First up is Vikram who has compared it to the 5800 XpressMusic over at Not Another Mobile Phone Blog:

Cj has also been taking snaps, this time of the device next to the N96:
