Nokia X7 Smartphone and Symbian Anna – the Perfect Combination

red57 — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 07:28:17 +0000

This smartphone is one of the front-runners of the all-new Symbian Anna, the Nokia X7. Symbian Anna, previously known as PR 2.0, is a major overhaul bringing portrait QWERTY input, improved browser and a refreshed design to the Symbian^3 platform. The Nokia X7 is also a media-centric device with a premium feel and a 4-inch AMOLED screen. It’s also one of the latest high-end Nokia handsets running Symbian, so it deserves some special attention. But does it deserve your buck? We’ll guide you through the novelties of the interface, see if that 680MHz ARM 11 processor under the hood can back up the experience, and look at the 8-megapixel fixed focus camera, but let’s start with some history.
Nokia X7 comes with a rather unique angular design with four grills on each of its corners, but only the bottom two hold speakers. It has a 4-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 360 x 640 pixels dominating the front face. The downside though is that it doesn’t come with Nokia’s ClearBlack enhancement for nearly perfect blacks and better anti-reflection for outdoor visibility, but the colors was very vivid, with blacks still very deep, so I find it as an advantage. Add to that the Gorilla Glass scratch protection, and you’re looking at a delicious screen, corrupted slightly only by the average sunlight legibility.
The Nokia X7 also sports a fixed focus 8-megapixel camera with dual-LED flash. Fixed-focus or full focus has the advantage of keeping nearly everything in focus and at the same time it’s extremely snappy as it doesn’t take the time to adjust focus for each shot. One thing to remember though is that everything closer than 20 inches automatically gets blurry, so you can forget about macro shots.

Nokia N900 Maemo 5 Mini-Computer -Another Breakthrough In Cellphone Technology

red57 — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 05:00:27 +0000

Boom!!! Another bombshell from Nokia! Cell phones have been an indispensable part of our daily lives for a long time.

Their popularity and influence to people are enormous and still growing rapidly, using the global network for virtually anything, from watching videos, listening to music, chatting, social networking and searching information to content publishing, email correspondence and so on.
And to meet that needs of today´s tech-hungry consumers, Nokia released their latest internet tablet, the Nokia N900. The most significant difference and advantage over previous generation tablets of the manufacturer is the presence of GSM module that allows phone calls over cellular networks. So what makes this Nokia N900 the newest internet tablet “smartphone” sensation?

One major weapon of the device is Maemo 5, the latest version of the Linux-based operating system. Also, sporting a full QWERTY keyboard, 600MHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor (iPhone 3GS, Palm Pre), support for OpenGL ES 2.0, 32GB built-in memory, microSD card slot for up to 16GB, 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, FM radio transmitter, A-GPS and Xvid playback capabilities.

“With Linux software, Mozilla-based browser technology and now also with cellular connectivity, the Nokia N900 delivers a powerful mobile multimedia experience,” says Anssi Vanjoki, Executive Vice President, Markets, Nokia. “The Nokia N900 mini-computer shows where we are going with Maemo and we’ll continue to work with the community to push the software forward. What we have with Maemo is something that is fusing the power of the computer, the internet and the mobile phone, and it is great to see that it is evolving in exciting ways.”

Designed for computer-grade performance in a compact size, Maemo complements Nokia’s other software platforms, such as Symbian, which powers Nokia’s smartphones. Jonathan Arber, Senior Research Analyst in Consumer Mobile at IDC says “Just as Nokia continues to expand and diversify its portable device portfolio, so it is deploying multiple platforms to allow it to serve different purposes and address different markets.

While we have seen continued growth in Symbian as a smartphone platform, Maemo enables Nokia to deliver new mobile computing experiences based on open-source technology that has strong ties with desktop platforms.”

Packs with a powerful ARM Cortex-A8 processor, up to 1GB of application memory and OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics acceleration. The Nokia N900 runs in a PC-like multitasking, allowing many applications to run simultaneously. Switching between applications is simple, as all running content is constantly available through the dashboard. The panoramic homescreen can be fully personalized with favorite shortcuts, widgets and applications.

Messaging is made easy and convenient thanks to the full physical slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Setting up email happens with only a few touches and the Nokia Messaging service mobilizes up to 10 personal email accounts. Text message or IM exchanges with friends are shown in one view and all conversations are organized as separate windows.
To make web browsing more enjoyable, the Nokia N900 features a high-resolution WVGA touch screen and fast internet connectivity with 10/2 HSPA and WLAN. And thanks to the browser powered by Mozilla technology, websites look the way they would on any computer. Online videos and interactive applications are vivid with full Adobe Flash 9.4 support. Maemo software updates happen automatically over the internet.
It features a 5 MP camera labeled with Carl Zeiss lens pack with dual LEDs flash and active lens cover. The Nokia N900’s camera beats all others with its feature as well as image quality. And its video capture is done in 848×480 pixels (3.4Mbps, 24fps, AAC mono 48 kHz). The Nokia N900 is capable of playing DVD-resolution videos and plays video with the following formats: .mp4, .avi, .wmv, .3gp; codecs: H.264, MPEG-4, Xvid, WMV, and H.263. Video streaming formats: H.264, MPEG-4, Xvid, WMV, H.263 in .avi, .mp4, .wmv, .asf and .3gp containers. It is capable of using MP3 Ringtones as incoming call ringers or as music only.

New Nokia E75 And E72 Leaked Out

red57 — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 03:53:29 +0000

A demo video of the latest and greatest business messaging devices by Nokia leaked online revealing the yet unannounced Nokia E72 and Nokia E75. This is indeed a hot news! But the sad news is that while I’m writing this blog, the said leaked video’s had been pulled out from YouTube.
Although the YouTube video is most likely an attempt of viral marketing, the polished performance shows one device called the E72 and another dubbed the E75, a slider.
The E75 has a silde-out QWERTY keypad while maintaining some resemblance to the already existing E66 and the E72 has a full QWERTY keypad below the display. Everything about the video looks real as far as we can say and both the E75 and E72 seems like great devices. An accelerometer recognizes which orientation the phone’s being held in, suggesting that the phone’s also set-up for viewing pictures and videos in either orientation.
The E72’s a wider handset than the E72, but looks more like a business oriented talker similar to the existing E61i and E71. The E72 doesn’t sport a slide out keyboard.
According to a promotional video that’s been leaked online, we could say that apart from the QWERTY keypad, both the cell phones have WiFi, GPS, an accelerometer, and may be even HSDPA support, running as usual on Symbian OS.
It might not be a long time till Nokia announces these two new nokia handsets, but until then, we will be happy to bring you more information and updates via leaks and slip-ups that seem to happen much too often nowadays.
I’ve managed to find a couple of pictures and added in this post to show you what you’ve missed on the video leaked on YouTube.

Nokia N-Series: New Nokia N95 8GB Smartphone

red57 — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 05:22:13 +0000

With the released of the new Nokia N95 8GB, one question come to everybodies mind. What’s the changes Nokia made between the two N95 beside the 8GB memory?

We will be discussing those changes one by one so I won’t be quick, so please bear with me on this one.

The first issues I would like to discuss is the MicroSD Slot. The Nokia N95 8Gb has no microSD slot, but rather, has been replaced by a fixed 8GB internal flash drive. Just imagine how many games, musics, mp3 ringtones and wallpapers you can download on this phone. The original has microSD slots for expandable memory.

One of the most obvious change is the matt black color of the phone, for now, this is the only color it is available with.

The N95 8Gb now has larger 128mb RAM – double the original which is 64mb RAM. It also uses ‘demand paging’ using the hard drive as extra memory so you will never run out of RAM no matter how many programs you run.

The N95 8GB uses an improved Nokia’s Assisted GPS technology, which sends the handset location hints over the network to compensate for weak satellite signals resulting to faster GPS positioning. So if your that person who is always on the road, this is a lot of help for you guys.

Longer battery life, thanks to the new BL-6F battery. The battery life of the phone is increased by 25-50%. Which is one of the main weaknesses of the original N95.

You will also notice that the N95 8Gb is slightly thicker than the original. This is to accommodate the new larger BL-6F battery the phone is now an extra millimetre thicker than the original N95, thus, making it also heavier by 8 grams compare to the 120 grams of the original.

The shutter also has been replaced with a simple recessed lens to accommodate the new larger BL-6F battery. See the difference in the picture below. To activate the camera, you now have to hold the shoot button.

The screen has better protection with a hard top layer that’s flush with the front of the phone. The original N95 had a soft touch screen which had a slight recess allowing dust and dirt to gather easily.

You can also notice that the N95 8GB also has a larger 2.8” screen compared to the original 2.6” with a clearer and brighter display. The larger screen has meant that the dial pad and main buttons have been moved down and made smaller.

The Multimedia controls are also raised and dimpled making them easier to find by touch alone.

Their are also some interface and software changes made on the new N95 8GB. The standby screen shows 7 quick launch icons as oppose to 6 on the original N95. The N95 8GB also has a new icon for Nokia’s upcoming N-Gage gaming platform and comes with 2 demo games – FIFA 07 and Asphalt 3.

The N95 8GB features a search option shortcut on the standby screen utilizing Nokia’s new Mobile Search utility and the annoying multimedia menu from the original N95 has been replaced with a more useful rotating menu.
