Nokia N78 by James Nash (aka Cirrus).
One of Nokia's new N-series "multimedia computers" - the N78. It runs S60 3.2 / Symbian 9.3 has all the usual features - 3.2MP camera, WiFi, HSDPA, GPS... yawn - plus something new: An integrated FM transmitter. That means you can play music off your phone over any bog-standard FM radio with no cables. Quite useful for long car rides, I'm sure.

N93i Ultimate One.......

Posted by Neo | 6:59 AM | | 1 comments »

I should stress right at the outset that the Nokia N93i isn't strictly an upgrade to the N93. The N93i is an evolution of the original design, to be sure, and the main point is that it's much slimmer and more visually appealing, thus attracting people who would have dismissed the original bulk of the N93. It remains to be seen how long the N93 stays available for, but I'd guess that the two can coexist happily for a while. The N93i is the one most newcomers will buy, but there are quite a few compromises made in the N93i design that might annoy anyone determined to buy the 'flagship' S60 smartphone. For more on the pros and cons, read on....


First impressions of the N93i are excellent, with the large mirror-backed screen prominent and attractive, with a silver surround that's unfortunately not carried down into the base unit, which remains black(ish) - the two-tone silver/black looks a little odd. The camera housing still dominates the top of the N93i, but it's been restyled since the N93 and is slightly thinner.


Using a combination of newer screen technology (the small exterior display is now OLED) and clever concave sculpting (see the diagram, right) the majority of the N93i is a good 5mm thinner than the N93. This is a huge difference and obviously THE main selling point of the newer model when picking it from a line-up. With the slimmer form comes lower weight too, 17g less than the N93, at 163g. Holding and opening up the N93i doesn't overwhelm you with its bulk, unlike the original N93. The combination of mirror top and svelte form factor transforms the device into something more instantly desirable.

Other physical improvements made in the N93i include:

  • a joystick rather than d-pad for the side (camera mode) controller - this is significantly less fiddly
  • a recessed lanyard mount on the bottom of the device - saving a couple of millimetres in length in one go
  • a flush-fitting and more secure miniSD slot cover
  • a tethered cover for the Pop-port connector - no chance of this one getting lost(!), although leaving it hanging there while you listen to music on the Pop-port stereo headset looks and feels somewhat messy
  • relocation of the main speaker to the base unit - again, to help save space in the lid assembly
  • a redesigned battery cover that's a lot easier to remove and reattach
  • a proper SIM card recess (rather than the flimsy and fiddly clasp on the N93)
  • a charging LED set underneath the mirror top

The redesigned miniSD slot

The tethered Pop port cover

Opening up the Nokia N93i reveals changes too, both positive and negative. Most obvious is the flush, metallic keypad, probably a necessity given the new slimmer lines of the base unit. There are spidery rubber inlays to improve grip and give you a better sense of where the key boundaries are in the dark. Although this largely works well and there's a definite 'click', the amount of force needed to effect each keypress is fairly high and the N93i isn't as useable as its predecessor when it comes to text entry. I also didn't like the way there were no dividers between the Green/Edit and (more vitally) C/Red 'keys', it's going to be quite easy to go for 'C' and hit the hangup button by mistake, thus ending the application you're in.

The flush metallic keypad

Having reckoned the N93 had just about the best display of any smartphone I'd seen (in all light conditions), the N93i blew me away, indoors at least, with its colour rendition of my photos. The N93i has 16 million colours rather than the N93's (paltry!!!) 262,000 available. What this means is that colours are more vibrant and more accurate, which is good. Not so good is that the change in screen technology has meant undistinguished performance outdoors, especially in sunlight, as shown below. The outer layer of the screen proved too reflective and consequently ruined the contrast, whereas the original N93 screen reflected nicely off the back of the display, giving excellent contrast in the brightest of light.

Contrast in bright sunlight isn't so good....

The main reason why outdoor screen contrast is important, of course, is because it's the viewfinder for all still and video camera functions, the main raison d'etre for the N93 and N93i. Although restyled, the camera seems to be identical, in terms of hardware, to that in the N93, though once you examine photos you'll realise that there is a significant difference.

In camera mode

As you know, the raw CMOS sensor data from a smartphone camera gets processed by various hardware and software in order to improve contrast while reducing digital 'noise' and artificial constructs ('artefacts') brought about because of the physical layout of the sensor and optics, and because of the compression schemes used to keep the amount of data manageable. In the Nokia N93, the noise reduction seemed to be largely turned off, with the result that images were very crisp but horribly full of artefacts if you zoomed in very closely. For the N93i, there's far more noise reduction applied, with the result that artefacts (i.e. detail that isn't really there in the first place) get blurred out, to hopefully result in a more pleasing picture, even if the photo isn't apparently quite as crisp as the same image taken on the original N93. A nice side benefit of the reduced level of artefacts is that JPG file sizes are considerably (up to 50%) smaller.

N93 vs N93i - extreme zoom on low light photo

Which noise reduction setup you prefer is down to personal preference - but for most people it won't matter as there's nothing you can do to adjust it on each device - and in any case, the photos are more than good enough on both devices for semi-professional use. There are the usual range of focus presets and lighting modes (e.g.'Incandescent'), plus of course the tremendous 3x optical zoom, making the N93i as good as many standalone digital cameras. Focussing is done by the usual gentle pressing of the main shutter button and, impressively, I found the speed of auto-focus to be far quicker on the N93i than on the N93, a real boon as speed of focus has always been an N93 gripe.

N93 vs N93i - shooting each other, and in better light

Although in theory, N93i video recording should be the same as on the N93, with the familiar VGA (640 by 480) capture at 30 frames per second, better than anything else currently available, there are several significant differences. On the plus side, there's now the option for 'Continuous auto-focus', with the usual tick-tick-ticking of the focussing mechanism activating as your subject matter changes. Being able to film items really close up is a huge advantage, probably offsetting the fact that the mechanism noises make their way onto the video soundtrack.

Talking of soundtracks, one big minus point is that the move of the stereo microphones from either side of the camera housing (on the N93) to beside the power button (on the N93i) has meant lower sound levels overall and a reduction in the stereo separation.

Barrel

I've had a few minor issues with handling the MP4 files produced by the two N93 variants, but digital video is such a complicated area that I'm not prepared to lay the blame with the smartphones at this time. I can suggest you steer clear of the supplied Adobe Premiere Elements as your editing software unless you have an absolute monster dual-core PC.

Screenshot Screenshot Screenshot

Away from multimedia, the Nokia N93i is familiar on all fronts, it's standard S60 3rd Edition all the way, though with the extra tweak that you can run any application in 'landscape' mode by twisting the screen round in the other direction. And, as with the N93, you can echo your display out to a widescreen TV using the supplied TV-out lead and extra graphics chips in the smartphone. Being able to shoot video and then play it back straight away on any TV... and then upload it directly to the web to a video blog via a Wi-Fi connection is just cool, cool, cool. And blogging got even easier too, at least in theory, with the addition of Vox to the 'Open online service' option in Gallery (Flikr is already there). Just don't try this at home on a typical European data tariff...

Screenshot Screenshot

The N93i comes with a handful of dark and moody themes, as shown below, although I preferred to use it with a much lighter theme, giving more screen clarity in daily use.

Screenshot Screenshot

There's also the WLAN wizard, as featured in the very latest N93 firmware, helping you to define an access point directly from an initial scan of the airwaves. As with other S60 3rd Edition smartphones, the Wi-Fi reception isn't spectacular and you'll need to be close to a router for perfect operation. As with the N93, there's support for UPnP (over Wi-Fi), should your home a-v equipment support this for streaming media. Quickoffice is supplied for business use, in viewer form but with the latest Quickmanager module for over-the-air upgrading to full edit mode.

Screenshot Screenshot

Another casualty of the slimmer form is the battery, which is now a 950mAh BL-5F rather than the 1100mAh battery in the N93. This is a little worrying to be honest - when using the N93 day to day with a reasonable amount of photography or filming, I was often out of power by nightfall. To have battery capacity reduced is definitely cause for concern.

S60 itself shows the same maturity as in the N93, with almost 22MB of RAM free after booting, ensuring that memory problems in use are few and far between, even when starting up a Java program or a satellite navigation app.

In summary, here are the pros of each of the N93 models, based on my experience:

Nokia N93 Nokia N93i

Longer battery life
Clearer sound on video recordings
Better stereo separation on video recordings
More legible and tactile numeric keypad
Much clearer display in sunlight

Slimmer, sleeker, shorter
Better on-board optical noise reduction on still images
Faster auto-focus
Option of continuous focus in video recordings

16 million colour display
Better Pop port and card covers
Better side joystick

By necessity, I've been concentrating on technical differences from the N93, but most new users will be coming to the N93i fresh and will be blown away by its features and capabilities. N93 purists may want to hang onto their black (or silver) monsters, with better screen contrast, better video sound, proper keys and longer battery life, but for everyone else the new slimline member of the N93 family is a very welcome addition.

The N93i looks and feels like a second generation design and will doubtless delight many a new Nseries customer as well as make jaws drop around the world, in homes and offices, both at its looks and at the sheer number of things such a relatively small device can do.






The Nokia N73 is a stunning multimedia computer in a compact and savvy exterior with exquisite photography features and integrated stereo speakers with 3D sound for optimized audio pleasure. In addition to a large 2.4 inch display, the Nokia N73 includes a 3.2 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, autofocus and support for Internet communities like Flickr - a package ready to challenge any digital camera.

Nokia N85 Cellular Phone

Posted by Neo | 6:45 AM | | 0 comments »

Description:

It's hard to knock a phone that has all the current popular technologies, but it would have still been great for Nokia to consider new technologies for this latest N-Series range, particularly a media sharing networking protocol.

Buying choices:

  • Nokia N85 Cellular Phone | $0 - $0

Users' rating:

9/10


First Look:-


Upside
It's hard to knock a phone that has everything, and as with the Nokia N-Series announcements from the beginning of 2008, the N85 has all bases covered, especially in regards to connectivity technology. Combining HSDPA data downloads, WLAN for local networking and A-GPS for navigation makes the N85 another powerful mobile from the world's leading phone manufacturer.

As a multimedia player, the N85 will support the same raft of music and video files we see in N-Series devices including the DRM protected WMA music files purchased from the Nokia Music store and will play back video on its 2.6-inch OLED colour screen. While the N85 doesn't have substantial internal storage, Nokia does plan to bundle an 8GB microSD card with the phone.

To set it apart from the other N-Series handsets, specifically the N96, Nokia is pitching the N85 as an N-Gage gaming phone with dedicated gaming controls. To emphasise this association, the N85 will come bundled with 10 pre-installed N-Gage game demos and a voucher to fully activate one of these titles. In our experience the N-Gage platform and the available games are slowly improving, so this could actually be quite an attractive offer by the time the N85 is released.

Downside
As with all of Nokia's previously released N-Series phones we'll be watching the battery closely. The N85 will employ a 1200mAh battery pack, similar to last year's N95 8GB. Nokia does seem to be refining the way its high-power handsets conserve battery life — we saw the 8GB model maintain better battery cycles than the originally released N95 — but this could still be an area for concern.

It's a shame not to see Nokia implementing new technology in the features list of the N85. One particular area of technology we'd be interested in seeing in an N-Series device is networked media sharing. Other mobile manufacturers including Samsung and Sony Ericsson are experimenting with including DLNA media sharing in upcoming phone releases. This sort of technology would be an excellent inclusion for a media-centric phone like the N85.

Outlook
The N85 is a fairly uninspiring announcement from Nokia, even though we don't doubt that it will perform in line with Nokia's other high quality N-Series devices. Except for a marginal difference in size, the difference between the N85 and the N96 on paper is so small that it seems unlikely that people will hold off buying the N96 in the fourth quarter of 2008 and instead wait for the N85 which is set for release in the first quarter of 2009.

Nokia N95..

Posted by Neo | 6:28 AM | | 0 comments »


Nokia N95 cell phone has become the best smartphone for the year 2007. It is an impressive phone because, this relatively small device has been packed with so many features. Nokia N95 has 5 megapixel camera, integrated GPS, and 150 MB of internal memory. It is a stylish slider phone with a 2.6 inch screen which looks fantastic.

Nokia N95 cell phone

Nokia N95 is a light phone which is easier to carry. It is a smaller phone compared to Nokia 80 and Nokia 93. Its keypad ia much better than Nokia 73’s and Nokia 80’s keypads. Each row of keys is on its own ridge and there is a good tactile feedback. There are speakers on either side of the cell phone. The speakers produce amazing good stereo sound giving the best speaker-only output that I have ever heard on a cell phone.

The images taken by Nokia N95’s camera are so sharp and clear, that it seems like the images have been taken from a good quality digital camera. The camera is on the back of the cell phone with a ring slider which opens and closes the shutter. Opening the shutter activates the camera application. The cell phone is held horizontally to take pictures, and the capture key is on the top right of the cell phone. If you are fond of taking pictures then you should buy Nokia N95 Cell phone because it’s camera includes 4 ISO settings, contrast and sharpness adjustments, and an improved burst mode, and it is used in the same way as most point and shoot digital cameras!!!!

The good:

  • Best in class camera and camcorder
  • 2D/3D GPS satellite navigation
  • WLAN, mini-USB, UPnP support
  • Unique slider design
  • Stereo speakers

The bad:

  • Awful battery life
  • Sluggish when multitasking
  • Average LED-based flash

Nokia N96 Unbeatable

Posted by Neo | 8:56 PM | | 0 comments »

This geek was recently invited to take a close look at the Nokia N79 (launching 4th quarter), N96 (launched and shipping soon), and the N85 (launching 4th quarter). Since both the N79 and N85 are not really launched yet, Now that I've tried both, I'll try to give my 2 cents on the N96 compared to the INNOV8, the focus being on the N96 instead of the latter.

Sony Ericcsion P910

P910 (P910i, P910c, P910a) Announced 15th July 2004

Even closer to perfection:
looping the smartphone loop


Sony Ericsson has perfectioned the P900 to stay in the throne of the smartphones for the next half year, by adding just what the target business people group were dreaming of. With the same ideal form factor introduced by the P800 and the new additions, the almost-perfect P910 leaves less space for improvement and can be without a doubt called the definitive PDA+Phone+Multimedia device.

Claves:
All in one: PDA, Phone, MP3, Camera...
Large 262k color TFT touchscreen
Symbian 7 UIQ 2.1 OS (lots of thirdparty software)
The only PDA with four ways of text input
Virtually unlimited memory: MS DUO Pro cards + 96mb internal memory

Diferencias clave con el P900:
Qwerty thumboard in the back of the keypad
Brighter 262k color screen (vs. 65k)
MStick DUO Pro support of 1gb (vs. DUO 128mb)
Internal 64mb user memory + 32 RAM (vs. 16+16)




In a few words: the P900 was mainly a software upgrade from the P800 with different design to "disguise" the basically same hardware; now the P910 is mainly a hardware upgrade from the P900 with same design to "justify" the basically same software. The conclusion is that the P910 is a very solid and coherent result.
