N85 represents a ‘new milestone’

January 5th, 2009

According to the guys at Cellphone Answers, the N85 is the new Messiah. Almost.

They certainly are impressed though, and the post is littered with superlatives such as ’stunning’, ‘elegant’ and ‘beautiful’. On the numerous multimedia features, the verdict is that the device takes the Nseries to ‘new heights’. Whether you agree or not, head over and let them know.

Collected N97 thoughts

January 5th, 2009

The Techies have brought us their first impressions of the latest Nseries device, and reckon it ushers in a ‘new era’. Stating that the form factor and functions were previously only seen in ’science fiction movies’, it’s fair to say that they’re fans.

Meanwhile, Jonathan Cheah from Mobile88 has pitched the N97 against the N96, and highlights the key differences such as the larger screen and bigger memory of the newer device. He balances this with the fact that the bigger battery of the N97 might not be able to cope with the power drain.

Whatever your thoughts on the N97, jump through one of the links above and let others know what your opinion is.

Woe is the life of a Nokia fan

January 5th, 2009

The Renegade Fanboy is decrying his life under the Nokia influence and calling for the day that he is lifted from his ‘despair’.

He lists the things that should have been noticed and fixed by the manufacturer in various devices, including a battery that cannot handle the power of the ‘almighty convergence device’ that is the N95, and the ‘outdated’ PIM, music player, standby screen and more of the 5800 MusicXpress.

Can you add to the list? What would you like to see fixed? Jump over and RFB know.

E63 final thoughts

January 5th, 2009

Aditya has completed his review of the E63 over on his blog, and this time he’s taken a look at the Internet and Mapping capabilities of the device.

He reckons the browser is ‘good and sturdy’ but nothing sensational, and hastens to let readers know that the E63 is without GPS - although he doesn’t see this as a deal breaker in his eyes. Overall, the device gets a positive report from Aditya - ‘practical’ and (in terms of fit and finish) ‘on a par’ with the E71.

Do you reckon the E63 matches up to it’s bigger brother? Have the cost cuttings worked? Head over and let people know what you think.

Device comparisons pointless?

January 5th, 2009

Steve Litchfield has raised an interesting point in an article over at All About Symbian, where he argues the relative merits of the ‘comparison’ articles we all know and love.

Yes, they make for good reading and better starting points for debate, but unless the two (or more) devices in question are pitched at exactly the same market, will the comparisons always be flawed? Steve sets out to prove his point with a graph exemplifying just how such a comparison (between the N82, 5800 and the iPhone) can throw up markedly differing results, depending which aspects of the device are explored.

Are you a fan of comparison posts? Are there two devices out there truly worthy of being pitched against each other? Join in the comments and have your say.

Will Apple try and kill the N97?

January 5th, 2009

Mark Guim has been pondering life’s bigger questions, and wonders on The Nokia Blog whether Apple might try and kill the N97 before it gets off the ground.

His thinking is that if the US manufacturer releases a direct competitor to the Nokia device (full QWERTY, 5MP camera), it could mean the end for the much-heralded N97. He gives reasons such as an easier to understand interface for the first time user and a cheaper release price, but some of the comments disagree. MT reckons any such Apple product would be a ‘brick’ and put off customers for good.

But what do you think? Is such a device on the cards? Jump into the comment stream and let Mark know your thoughts.

Nokia 5800 build quality under the microscope

January 5th, 2009

Ricky Cadden, everybody’s favourite Symbian Guru, has put the 5800 XpressMusic to the test as regards the build.

From the ‘nicely tactile’ buttons through to the feel of the device in the hand, which is ’solid’ and not as ‘hollow’ as other touchscreen devices Ricky has tested, he gives it the SG thumbs up, rating it ‘5 out of 5 stars’.

What are your feelings on the 5800 XpressMusic? Have you had one in your hands and does it feel as good as Ricky says it is? Jump over and share your thoughts with the others who have left comments.

Handy E71 shortcuts

January 4th, 2009

A great list of keypress shortcuts for the E71 has been published by Vaibhav Sharma over at The Symbian Blog that’ll be sure to save you time while using your device.

Ranging from how to read new messages whilst in standby to focussing the camera and enabling or disabling certain functions, the list is fairly comprehensive and is a great place to start for those just getting used to the device.
