Video review of the N78

October 9th, 2008

Ritu from FoneArena has posted a review of the N78, and she’s decided to use video instead of the written word.

She calls the design of the device ‘very classically Nokia’, highlighting the rounded edges and numerous shortcut keys. Talking us through the calendar, browsing and Nokia Maps, she shows viewers the menus available in detail.

Having seen the video, what are your impressions of the device? Have you had one in your hands yet? Jump over and share your thoughts with Ritu.

Hands on with the Nokia 5800 – video

October 8th, 2008

Jason Goh from SymbianpOp has had his hands on a 5800 (albeit before release, so the handset was a prototype), and has shared a video of him playing…video.

He demonstrates the screen touches necessary to navigate the menus, and reckons watching the end result in widescreen is ‘damn good’.

Nokia 6220 camera test – video

October 7th, 2008

MedionMackaN has posted on YouTube showing the video capabilities of the Nokia 6220 Classic’s camera in action.

Toting the same 5MP Carl Zeiss camera unit as the N95 8GB, the 6220 is shown by MedionMackaN in a low lit environment. He then demonstrates moving from high to low contrast light areas as well as zooming in on his PC monitor to show how well the 6220 copes with the transitions. The lack of commentary goes to show that he thinks the results speak for themselves.

Do you agree? What are your experience with the camera on this handset? Jump over and let him know what you think of what you see.

Nokia 5800 hands on videos

October 6th, 2008

Over at Gizmodo, John Herrman has posted a plethora of videos demonstrating the various capabilities of the Nokia 5800.

He highlights the fact that the screen sometimes does not respond to a press, but also shows a video that highlights the use of a traditional stylus and the new ‘guitar pick’ device. The comments from readers make for interesting reading as the reaction is gauged – DJTripleRRR reckons the guitar pick will allow people with big fingers to type easily, whilst vgart reckons the device is ‘beautiful’ and beats the Android.

Having seen the videos, what do you think of the Nokia 5800? Are there any questions still outstanding that you’d like answered? Jump over and ask away.

BBC iPlayer for Nseries – video

October 3rd, 2008

Over at Nokia Creative, James Burland has posted a video showing the BBC iPlayer in action, on an N95 8GB.

Much-vaunted as coming to the N96, iPlayer actually works (in the UK) on other devices too. James walks us through the process of finding and playing a show, and whilst he says it wouldn’t be great for watching all the time, it is great for ‘catching the odd show’.

Have you tried the service yet? What are your thoughts? Jump over and let James know.

N78 in the eyes of Money Savers

October 2nd, 2008

An interesting thread on the Money Saving Expert forum is developing around the N78, and whether it should be considered instead of the N95.

The Original Poster – PatelA – asks for advice as he is considering replacing the N95 and its ‘horrendous’ battery. lapchien says he has made the switch and doesn’t have ‘any regrets’, especially due to the ‘vastly improved’ battery life. lovelynikki agrees, reckoning the device is a ‘fully featured multimedia computer’.

Would you switch from the N95 to the N78? Take a look at this hands on video to see if the device is everything you want it to be? Then jump over and join the forum discussion.

Steve Lawson, aka solobasssteve has written up some of his first impressions on his blog which should whet your appetite for what else he has to say in the near future. So too has Steve Rumsby, who has given his overview of how he experienced the event. Both give good insight into what took place, and how they were able to connect with the discussion happening around them. Definitely some ideas there to get anyone interested thinking.

There’ll surely be plenty more news, views and general insights from the event in the coming days, but for the mean time here’s CT Moore from Gypsy Bandito and Phil Campbell of me.dm with their closing thoughts while still on Finnish soil.

The future of entertainment from Nokia Open Lab…

September 12th, 2008

Workshop number three from Nokia Open Lab here in Helsinki saw the attendees discuss how they thought the future of entertainment consumption would pan out, with some intriguing ideas.

The main areas covered were music, film, gaming and ‘a new future entertainment’ with each of four groups presenting their thoughts on how these areas would progress in the coming years. The ‘new entertainment’ of course, saw them create something entirely unique that may become common place in 5 - 10 years time.

Check out the video of the introduction below…

…and then have a look at what everyone came up with…

MD-5W speakers and N95-4 – music to our ears?

August 20th, 2008

Mobile World Innovation’s THETRUTH has been testing out the sound quality from Nokia’s MD-5W unit paired via Bluetooth with the N95-4.

He reckons it’s a ‘match made in heaven’, and loves the ‘portability’ of the speakers, and the way they connect ‘seamlessly’ to his device. What he is also impressed with it the multi-use options available to users – he cites speaker phone, loudspeaker, and movie speakers. The wireless nature of the beasts allows them to be used anytime, any place, anywhere – to borrow a phrase from an ad from the 70s. There is a video to demonstrate them in use, which is a great place to start for someone looking for some Bluetooth speakers.

Have you used these speakers? What do think to their performance? Jump over and let THETRUTH know what you feel.

N810 MiniSD slot troubles

August 13th, 2008

Over on YouTube, burnte has posted a video showing how he struggles with the memory card slot on his tablet.

He professes his love for the N810, and makes it clear that he loves the device, but runs into problems when using the card slot. In his demo, he shows how the slot is exposed by removing the cover (on its rubber ‘doohicky’) and how it easily accepts the card. The problem, he has found, is in removing it once it has served its purpose. The spring only releases a card so far, and as he has ‘human-sized fingers’, burnte has trouble grabbing it, having to resort to tweezers.

Do you have similar issues? Or can your fingers grab the ejected card? Have you come up with any solutions to the issue?
