Reports vary, but the key theme has been an errant (mainly red-purple) colour tint, which is more apparent in dim, or black areas of the screen, under specific circumstances. This fault is certainly not universal. Furthermore, as far as we can tell from our own research, there doesn't appear to be a correlation to any particular firmware version either. Read on for links and examples of the the fault.<br /><br />We've seen a number of forum threads reporting the same broad set of problems. A wealth of user anecdotes can be found on the NokiaUsers.net forum in a thread entitled "I think Nokia are using two screens on [the] N8". Also on the DailyMobile.de forum, there is a similar thread, "Nokia N8 AMOLED Display Colour Problem". There are also numerous threads to be found on Nokia's own support forum; see here, here, here, and here.<br /><br />The most common complaint is that screens tend to display a purple tint over progressively darker areas of the screen. This would suggest that as the software, operating system and electronics (see what we did there? - whatever it turns out to be, we can say we were right!) instruct pixels to reduce their brightness (i.e. go toward black), the blue and red pixels are not reducing their output as much as they should. There is some variation in these reports, as other examples (including photographed examples) have a more red or brown coloured tint. Other users have also reported poor colour gradients, but this problem appears to be less common.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGecll9mH3HRKdX8fCG1ArsXvarielrubfAXj7bTXchbqoBzAeko9DtMwwbJOsO_4LIVc9Ca25k189uXOPiCI1xfZ36vlE3j2qA9V2YP-Y6sazbbWnwuBGF1-j1sXw6KnonNoqtZbwBLo/s1600/N8_C7_defect.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGecll9mH3HRKdX8fCG1ArsXvarielrubfAXj7bTXchbqoBzAeko9DtMwwbJOsO_4LIVc9Ca25k189uXOPiCI1xfZ36vlE3j2qA9V2YP-Y6sazbbWnwuBGF1-j1sXw6KnonNoqtZbwBLo/s200/N8_C7_defect.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576691543341842626" border="0" /></a><br /><br />There are test images that users can download (gradient and tone) to determine how well their screen is performing.

However, our own Steve Litchfield has seen an affected C7-00 first hand with this same purple tint for dark areas (courtesy of our friend Tim Salmon), and was able to compare it against his N8-00 review unit which does not suffer this problem.<br /><br />There hasn't been an official statement from Nokia about this, to date. However, it would be safe to assume it is indeed aware of it and looking into the problem. If indeed the issue is due to inferior screen components, it's highly likely that rectifying the problem will involve sending your phone away for a warrenty 'repair'. Theoretically, a firmware update could perhaps recalibrate the colour space on these devices or perhaps fix a badly behaved driver, but I can't really comment on this.<br /><br />If you have any experience of this issue with your own handset, please let us know in the comments. Information like model number, firmware version, when you bought the phone, and where it was made (should be printed under the battery or printed on the end cap) would be of particular interest.<br /><br />The more data points we all have, the better....</div>Adrenalin Banhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02575323044166993311noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646598330385174497.post-45725205747152186252011-01-10T18:13:00.000-08:002011-01-10T18:52:03.515-08:00LCG Jukebox.

See my feature on this, but essentially almost every standalone camera has a Xenon flash, while almost every camera phone has LED flash (or none at all). LED flashes are almost useless for everything but the most amateurish of shots - which is why some manufacturers haven't even bothered to fit one. In contrast, a Xenon flash is up to 10x brighter (in terms of light energy output) and also lasts for a thousandth the duration, meaning that people and objects get frozen in time and don't become a blurry, fuzzy mess.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXG0EU84mzbP5qPzTAIEG2bjfbNaMLAByTB6rfSdQU0IdGbCIOJ4d4O5AgvS_BaEHyiOWpmxvDoHegaDpCq1s2FXvPAtFmbDs0rO3loilJ-Z24Q7ipjvvCGSBf1QafbIvoklgwe8UfmnU/s1600/n8_flash.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXG0EU84mzbP5qPzTAIEG2bjfbNaMLAByTB6rfSdQU0IdGbCIOJ4d4O5AgvS_BaEHyiOWpmxvDoHegaDpCq1s2FXvPAtFmbDs0rO3loilJ-Z24Q7ipjvvCGSBf1QafbIvoklgwe8UfmnU/s200/n8_flash.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5544045279466424882" border="0" /></a><br /><br />It's a bit of a mystery (other than build cost) why more smartphones haven't appeared with Xenon flash over the years. Here's a typical example, taken in dimly lit room on the N8 (click through etc etc.), raising my glass to toast - note the extreme detail and 'frozen' action:<br /><br />To compare the N8's Xenon-lit photos with the best of the competition, I tried the same action and pose on the N82 and on the Xenon-flash-equipped Motorola XT720, the only serious current smartphone competitor to Nokia with a Xenon flash:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq-aHTWKdjhVShtATL8gx6C7od-0vPCGB7z-Lh1Iz8WZM1b2takgaXPGFbwJKqstWLgy9UPbG1iLmtRGFOvRXSd24XUU5kEw91Uf0__-hxMgDKZHSgypIP3MnLwgNieZEC-XAFrpvMYhw/s1600/n8_xenon.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq-aHTWKdjhVShtATL8gx6C7od-0vPCGB7z-Lh1Iz8WZM1b2takgaXPGFbwJKqstWLgy9UPbG1iLmtRGFOvRXSd24XUU5kEw91Uf0__-hxMgDKZHSgypIP3MnLwgNieZEC-XAFrpvMYhw/s200/n8_xenon.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5544045281075766338" border="0" /></a><br /><br />From left to right, N82, XT720, N8. I was stunned at the difference, once zoomed in like this. The 5-megapixel N82's shot (which we'd have named the best of the bunch in any other flash photo roundup, I suspect) looks over-exposed and the detail is all fuzzed out by the noise reduction and sharpening. The XT720 does better (at its 'kludged' 8 megapixels), with better exposure and clearer detail - but it didn't quite look in focus. On the right, the N8 nails the shot, with stunning detail - look at the weave of the cloth on the right and at the buttons, plus perfect exposure.<br /><br />If I had a criticism of the N8's Xenon capabilities, they would be that the flash is very centre-focussed, i.e. whatever you're focussing on will be lit perfectly, but that items at the edge of the frame don't receive enough light. But this is a very minor point.<br /><br />There's a slight degree of red-eye removal in 'auto' mode, in that there's a small pre-flash, around a tenth of second before the big one - interestingly, if you explicitly set the flash mode as 'red eye reduction', the delay is raised to a second or so, but you get a brighter flash (around 10 to 20% brighter), since the flash unit has had longer to recharge. Thus your tip for the day, if trying to Xenon-shoot an subject that's more than a few metres away and wanting all the lumens you can get - turn red eye reduction on - even if your subject is a car!<br /><br />Not tested here but worth noting is an extraordinary degree of intelligence in the N8's camera algorithms: if the N8 detects a face which is backlit and within the flash range then it will automatically fire the flash as a fill-in. It balances the exposure so you get an extra kick from filling in the shadows and adding a sparkle to the eyes but deliberately doesn't 'overcook' it (making it look like it was obviously shot with flash).</div>Adrenalin Banhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02575323044166993311noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646598330385174497.post-16012708801715694462010-07-30T19:29:00.001-07:002010-07-30T19:39:07.823-07:00Nokia latest phones will use components that can be recycled<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0MzSHpq2it5-R5fDUlTF88c_HcPwq1raDvDQ-XPqU0-Ji-08RjgwxUTQWSg0Ls5dy8jVyLux3a898DIpji23LgACcFqJ5O-B6KmLprMAerdHdEOqlSr01Lt7lOisVx1zVL1aLPaDZ31I/s1600/nokia_recycle_phone.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 142px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0MzSHpq2it5-R5fDUlTF88c_HcPwq1raDvDQ-XPqU0-Ji-08RjgwxUTQWSg0Ls5dy8jVyLux3a898DIpji23LgACcFqJ5O-B6KmLprMAerdHdEOqlSr01Lt7lOisVx1zVL1aLPaDZ31I/s200/nokia_recycle_phone.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499891950264383554" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">NOKIA mobile phone company recently announced plans to release 40 new models that have used materials that are recyclable and not harmful to the environment.<br /><br />One of them is the Nokia 3110 which has been using 65% of existing components with a material that can be recycled (recyclable).<br />For information, most mobile phones currently available are not much use of materials can be recycled and also dangerous (toxic) such as a lithium battery that can be dangerous for the environment if not disposed of properly.<br /><br />To further support the "campaign" or environmentally conscious, even NOKIA will set up bins for recycling (green bins) in each office or service center where customers can dispose of or part of a mobile phone which is not used anymore.<br />It seems to serve as an example for other phone companies and may be also reduced for those of you who like to cover mutually phone.</div>Adrenalin Banhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02575323044166993311noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646598330385174497.post-75921676664633733642010-07-26T04:36:00.000-07:002010-07-26T05:12:22.562-07:00List of All Mp3 Players Available for Symbian<br/><span style="font-weight: bold;">====================================</span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Mp3 Players for S60 v1.x and v2.x</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">====================================</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjqwdXt5aV_V1gWgNa3plynVxL9IXcD5DW5UpJRBuIHQCfkcHY7DvYK-8LKCTiruAf0jXuxN-A44dY8KGmujYA_aSIqb1ZXDBb2NNE1z18WFmbi_OS1vUOq9-8UAihNEiv1QcJvXFXSHc/s1600/power_mp3.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 169px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjqwdXt5aV_V1gWgNa3plynVxL9IXcD5DW5UpJRBuIHQCfkcHY7DvYK-8LKCTiruAf0jXuxN-A44dY8KGmujYA_aSIqb1ZXDBb2NNE1z18WFmbi_OS1vUOq9-8UAihNEiv1QcJvXFXSHc/s200/power_mp3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498181036366569026" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">P</span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">owerMP3 by MobiFactor</span><br /><br />PowerMP3 will turn your S60 smartphone into powerful MP3, OGG, AAC and MA4 player.

Its founder was Knut Fredrik Idesram.<br /><br />The Finnish Rubber Works started using the Nokia brand in the beginning of 20th century. After the World War I, two companies Nokia Wood Mills and Finnish Cable Works, which was in the business of producing telephone and telegraph cables, were acquired by Finnish Rubber Works and these three companies amalgamated to form Nokia Corporation in the year 1967.<br /><br />The current era of Nokia has its roots in the year 1960 when the electronic section was founded by the cable division and with its amalgamation in the year 1967, that section started making telecom equipments.<br /><br />In the year 1972, Nokia got its first order from Finnish Defense Services for mobile phones for field radios.</div>Adrenalin Banhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02575323044166993311noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646598330385174497.post-57705591752911732172010-05-24T21:24:00.000-07:002010-05-24T21:28:41.602-07:00N900<br/><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">RiceGF says:</span><br /><br />Most people I know don't make phone calls by launching a phone application and punching numbers, but by selecting an existing contact. On the N900, this is accomplished in the most obvious way I can imagine - slide open the keyboard and type the first couple of letters of the name of the person you wish to call or text; matching names appear, and you tap the one you want, followed by the medium ("cell", "SMS", whatever).<br /><br />The still and video camera are just as intuitive - open the lens cover, and the camera app opens. Then point and push the shutter button on top (like a "normal" camera). Pretty intuitive to me. And gorgeous photos and flix.<br /><br />Your other observations are spot on, although my phone app does automatically switch between portrait and landscape. I only use it in landscape, though - the N900 is clearly a *tablet* (you say the volume, power and shutter are on the right - but as a tablet, they are on the *top*, where I'd expect them ;-).<br /><br />And yes, the web browser *is* as good as they say. Brilliant!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Zak Sloan says:</span><br /><br /><br />I have been waiting for your review on this, and glad to see you have had the chance to test the N900.<br /><br />Just a couple of points:<br /><br />The N900 was designed and released as an 'internet tablet with phone capabilities', so although it falls into the smartphone category, it wasn't designed as a phone.<br /><br />Recent updates have enabled portrait mode, which can be activated using Ctrl-Shift-O.<br /><br />Also, as much as I love the N900 and all of its features, I would not recommend it for the average user. I would see them getting very frustrated with it.<br /><br />You are right about the "potential" of the N900. I have had mine for over three months and also feel I have only scratched the surface!<br /><br />It's a tinkerer's dream, and the features and capabilities run rings around other devices.<br /><br />Skype does not need to be downloaded as an app, as it is integrated into the phone, so you can choose to make a regular, VoIP, or Skype call(or send an email) to a contact in your address book.<br /><br />Ovi store for apps is still looking very poor, but there are lots of free apps available in the repositories.<br /><br />@M0les,<br /><br />The current information is that the N900 WILL be upgradable to Meego. There were a lot of worried users thinking they would be left behind, so this is very good news for them. We do not yet know when this will happen.<br /><br />No carriers have announced that they will provide the phones, but some retail stores have said they will be selling it.<br /><br /></div>Adrenalin Banhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02575323044166993311noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646598330385174497.post-71512163236671538842010-05-24T07:36:00.000-07:002010-05-24T07:46:43.637-07:00Lost Series Finale<br/><div style="text-align: justify;">Season 6 premiered on February 2, 2010, at its new timeslot of Tuesdays at 9:00 EST pm in the US and Canada and features 18 episodes. The sixth season follows two timelines, each an outcome of the detonation of a hydrogen bomb in the previous season finale. In the first timeline, referred to as "flash sideways", Oceanic Flight 815 never crashes. In the second, the survivors return to the present day and must deal with the demise of Jacob, whose death has been orchestrated by the mysterious Man in Black, the Smoke Monster. According to show producer Damon Lindelof, the term "flash-sideways" was deliberately used instead of "alternate reality" because it might then "infer that one of them isn't real, or one of them is real and the other is the alternate to being real."</div>Adrenalin Banhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02575323044166993311noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646598330385174497.post-67389736298702597312010-05-20T23:24:00.000-07:002010-05-20T23:33:15.603-07:00Downloading applications on Nokia N900 Maemo<br/><span style="font-weight: bold;">Downloading applications</span><br /><br />Internet Tablets use the concept of software repositories, a concept carried over from Linux.

The Application Manager automatically then presents you a list of available applications that can be installed on your device, and takes care of any dependancies that may be required.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">There are multiple repositories available for the N900:</span><br /><br /> 1. Nokia's Ovi Store<br /> 2. Commercial Application Vendors<br /> 3. Community Applications<br /><br />The Application Manager also allows you to uninstall applications as well as keep you notified of updates to your installed applications.<br /><br />You will also find One Click Install Applications on the web for instance in the Downloads section of this web site. You may also want to ]install applications which are not available through maemo.org, but which you download from third party sites.<br /><br />If you can't find what you want, sign up to Maemo Talk and ask. If a few people are interested, or if a particular developer sees value in your idea, it's likely someone will write you an application to do what you want. And yes, that really does work.<br /><br />Or you can learn to program in Maemo or Qt yourself.<br /><br />There's a good set of tutorials here, with a Hello world app too... and there's a separate Developer FAQ on this site.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Application manager</span><br /><br />Application manager is a preinstalled graphical user interface to APT.<br /><br />Application manager shows contents of configured repositories. It is a tool to search and install software. The basic repository list has approximately same content as maemo.org Downloads.<br /><br />Application manager also handles software updates automaticly.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Managing Repositories</span><br /><br />In this example, we will be enabling the 'maemo.org' repository. (Which should already exist, but this is simply an example.)<br /><br />Open Application Manager (Dashboard > Menu > More... > App. manager)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV2DFI73R80-iYUy7qukfwRx4qLNMZ_QRV-qO6RAQaTKdInvUzVcB_BkHZH4JQJrfdrhyphenhyphen3RD8VH9M5WI-dI5y_s65pC6ZLqthEJ2KPUs6Qpzr7u1debRnWwgEROR78Zj99MzKmILqoFuc/s1600/n900.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 120px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV2DFI73R80-iYUy7qukfwRx4qLNMZ_QRV-qO6RAQaTKdInvUzVcB_BkHZH4JQJrfdrhyphenhyphen3RD8VH9M5WI-dI5y_s65pC6ZLqthEJ2KPUs6Qpzr7u1debRnWwgEROR78Zj99MzKmILqoFuc/s200/n900.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5473606535868094994" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Go to Application catalogs (Press the menu bar at the top, where it says application manager) </span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaQbxUYb4iELl1PNXuaZLh2t8Qszj5jxXC5vQs2_LUVwwOrY7WSjynRIpAaeL1bE0kN2ojjG3H6O7srMe2F4wCkh1frxc0EF6lxpqjbVJpMecpzdKwLfhD4W9WTbY4dUv7AV2YAsHp5Sg/s1600/n900_screen.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 120px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaQbxUYb4iELl1PNXuaZLh2t8Qszj5jxXC5vQs2_LUVwwOrY7WSjynRIpAaeL1bE0kN2ojjG3H6O7srMe2F4wCkh1frxc0EF6lxpqjbVJpMecpzdKwLfhD4W9WTbY4dUv7AV2YAsHp5Sg/s200/n900_screen.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5473606542562880178" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Press New </span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRWBsE5vX7NUICkUyVRFkBX60FdE8vl6ermIS7yDFIwTOrS0UjgipX66TAokaau_G8z8A27LBZqcLLtr8MhpGpF62LpZWMdP1z14QnrTfHbRHP6zzjR5OJVYQtEv3MaP6SE_SsL_kOoN0/s1600/nokia_n900.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 120px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRWBsE5vX7NUICkUyVRFkBX60FdE8vl6ermIS7yDFIwTOrS0UjgipX66TAokaau_G8z8A27LBZqcLLtr8MhpGpF62LpZWMdP1z14QnrTfHbRHP6zzjR5OJVYQtEv3MaP6SE_SsL_kOoN0/s200/nokia_n900.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5473606548489193970" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Enter the Catalog Details </span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix1GlcIVyXhR2jEVRRHD3lJjsrdFuXjcyfGCetY3pdew-zCwUJ0rbHRWLtU1swm3WW8jQcJHGzUkEqFPQaPEaab-W-t0vxt6Z8l68NkJDBQPpVXm46-PBZYEa7hfiYtQjvPfybpHiElwc/s1600/n900_linux_catalogue.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 120px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix1GlcIVyXhR2jEVRRHD3lJjsrdFuXjcyfGCetY3pdew-zCwUJ0rbHRWLtU1swm3WW8jQcJHGzUkEqFPQaPEaab-W-t0vxt6Z8l68NkJDBQPpVXm46-PBZYEa7hfiYtQjvPfybpHiElwc/s200/n900_linux_catalogue.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5473606557858069234" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">You can also disable catalogs for future use (Useful for maemo.org extras-testing and maemo.org extras-devel catalogs.) </span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9tTth9UUCT0cDTbpimm1g6AgYR5SjBvHY65nycPTriw9H5WY96SEIDLokiLDSJnnhPWR8wUsFIDF5niDdCOP5GAk9I6I2EZkEoJXtVEx-9kKAPl764dcIlaSZ-2M_7-t_dEFMJf3u2Fk/s1600/maemo_5.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 120px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9tTth9UUCT0cDTbpimm1g6AgYR5SjBvHY65nycPTriw9H5WY96SEIDLokiLDSJnnhPWR8wUsFIDF5niDdCOP5GAk9I6I2EZkEoJXtVEx-9kKAPl764dcIlaSZ-2M_7-t_dEFMJf3u2Fk/s200/maemo_5.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5473606559666967986" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Save. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Other ways</span><br /><br />It is recommended to use the application manager since it this is the easiest way to install software.

The updated version brings the free worldwide pedestrian and car navigation edition of Ovi Maps to these devices. Nokia says the release is a result of listening to consumer feedback: 'you spoke, we listened', says the press release. The E71 and E66 versions do not include the Lonely Planet guides due to technical constraints, but the core navigation offering is the same as that found on more recent devices.<br /><blockquote><br />The process of making the latest version of Ovi Maps available for existing devices is quite involved, but the team managed to include complete navigation functionality. Due to technical constraints in back porting the app to existing devices, unfortunately, it wasn’t possible to offer further premium content such as the Michelin and Lonely Planet guides.</blockquote><br /><br />The announcement is a follow on from January 21st, when Nokia announced that Ovi Maps was going free.<br /><br />In the press release, Nokia note that the E71 and E66 will be "the last of our S60 3.1 and older devices to sport this version of Ovi Maps". This means we will not be seeing free navigation support for the Nokia N95 and other S60 3.1 devices. However, as we noted in an earlier story Nokia have reduced the licenses prices significantly for pre-3.3 versions of Ovi Maps, which means navigation is available for older devices at a very low cost.<br /><br />Ovi Maps 3.3 (3.03) on the E71 and E66<br /><br />Ovi Maps is a relatively large install and will be placed on the C: drive, so you will need to ensure that you have enough free disk space (recommended 10MB or more) before installing the new version. It will replace any existing version of Ovi Maps or Nokia Maps that is installed on the device.<br /><br />In usage there are occasions, as with earlier version on the Nokia E71, when Ovi Maps can feel somewhat sluggish compared to more recent devices. However the streamlined user interface is a significant improvement and the new version is a recommended install for all E71 and E66 users, not least for the availability of free car and pedestrian navigation.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKokwPAdiuiM1wdQSpkGNwMxJpPUIwWcVhyGd_BE9lTrd7_-i_cEIJ7hngw32LmgSIoULbGfN1aGLSUVAMK-sWT_W3b1Ohsvbhxe-APszNm8LUmUJrOgJpXz-zRd7dxd4qyKrKtw4mh3Q/s1600/OVI_map_free.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKokwPAdiuiM1wdQSpkGNwMxJpPUIwWcVhyGd_BE9lTrd7_-i_cEIJ7hngw32LmgSIoULbGfN1aGLSUVAMK-sWT_W3b1Ohsvbhxe-APszNm8LUmUJrOgJpXz-zRd7dxd4qyKrKtw4mh3Q/s200/OVI_map_free.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458345733281683906" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Ovi Maps for the Nokia E71 and E66 will be made available via the maps.nokia.com website.

As the de facto sequel to the surprise hit of the 5800 XpressMusic, the X6 has a lot to live up to in the eyes of the media and the consumers. Actually, being honest, a touch screen device, with music support, operator backing and a stylish black look such as the 5800 had all the indications of being a successful device even before launch. Shall I cut a long review short and simply say that the X6 doesn't (yet) manage this, but if Nokia apply themselves, it could do so in the future?<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />And now, the longer version, over multiple parts.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMic0-iztWx1Fwpcwhsl0iqqsz-cp0RK5LTC6SXe4MqC-HudOrg9Zi2RwK3ZRqtzY6L2m05CX_g-GnUI10S2aJ-6cY0cBVWg1aggIzn6fMtRWgfV5Uwc5ZH0dtKhTotIc0ZHc0rREfeXM/s1600-h/Nokia+X6.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMic0-iztWx1Fwpcwhsl0iqqsz-cp0RK5LTC6SXe4MqC-HudOrg9Zi2RwK3ZRqtzY6L2m05CX_g-GnUI10S2aJ-6cY0cBVWg1aggIzn6fMtRWgfV5Uwc5ZH0dtKhTotIc0ZHc0rREfeXM/s200/Nokia+X6.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426861604193939458" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The X6 doesn't have the first mover advantage of being Nokia's first touch screen S60 device, but you can't help but fail to notice the biggest change in Nokia's touch screen devices with the X6, and this is the switch from a resistive touch screen to a capacitive touch screen. No more stylus needed (or in fact, able to be used), the X6 screen will only pick up on the touch of human skin on the screen (normally your finger).<br /><br />This has an impact on the S60 UI, and I'll come onto that in a subsequent part, but in general this change to the interface has made the X6 a much more tactile and gorgeous device to handle. You don't need to struggle with a stylus, aim a fingernail at the screen, or even be pixel perfect accurate – a glancing stroke with a finger or a thumb swiping across the screen is more than enough to have your touch picked up and acted on.<br /><br />Just to give you a heads up that the S60 5th Edition changes in the X6 lack one word – consistency – but this is nothing to do with the physical hardware of the screen. Not only is it excellent and responsive, but the colours and sharpness give the X6 a wonderful clarity; I'd go so far as to say that it demands to be held and touched.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1QZQjrKMJ4QiXkFleKrghBw8XPnjUznAH8PqNAOHRTzCHQU2OfhlOcetw_FOV64uYwZywfeebmv_6KuWeI984uxUaBs_cu4utUq3Y91Gpnw9NyC8rZGLCmQLUgiPwXslOby1BmHeAEL0/s1600-h/Nokia_X6_menu.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1QZQjrKMJ4QiXkFleKrghBw8XPnjUznAH8PqNAOHRTzCHQU2OfhlOcetw_FOV64uYwZywfeebmv_6KuWeI984uxUaBs_cu4utUq3Y91Gpnw9NyC8rZGLCmQLUgiPwXslOby1BmHeAEL0/s200/Nokia_X6_menu.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426861614186870834" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Also on the front of the machine are the call/end call/app buttons. Unlike on the 5800, which had these as three raised buttons, a strip of plastic that takes up all the space at the bottom of the screen carries the three buttons here. Rather than being touch sensitive, this is a physical set of buttons where the whole strip pivots slightly depending on which button you press. It suddenly takes away from the glorious screen and dumps a cheap plastic phone back in your hand. Not good mojo.<br /><br />This bendy and cheap plastic feel also applies to the back cover. It's a single sheet of moulded plastic, and instead of slides, catches and runners to hold it in place, you just bend it up at the bottom edge and pop it off. It makes for a smooth construction (and lower production cost) but again, adds to the tacky feel of the phone.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGm9FjAsnljz3PmkBTlpymJkN1_1lr6Agr54KwdCfRtvHX_pm_J24vP_pPlM4HXZGNgibmBl8We1g1vQaSZ_BoIynsM2X2WHS0Us5-6eRTpBfOdV6KlzANK-LSot_ByFdF6fWnd0v_WZ8/s1600-h/X6.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGm9FjAsnljz3PmkBTlpymJkN1_1lr6Agr54KwdCfRtvHX_pm_J24vP_pPlM4HXZGNgibmBl8We1g1vQaSZ_BoIynsM2X2WHS0Us5-6eRTpBfOdV6KlzANK-LSot_ByFdF6fWnd0v_WZ8/s200/X6.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426861618891695922" border="0" /></a><br /><br />And then you have a SIM card slot cover which is little more than a plastic wedge over a push in slot – there's nothing seamless or tactile about these buttons and covers. Okay the SIM slot is a thing that the average user might only use once, but it has an impact on perceptions of the machine.<br /><br />Which is a shame because the X6 is more stylish than the 5800. With the two long edges nicely curved, it sits comfortably in your hand, while the slight off-vertical surfaces at the short edges give an almost trapezoidal shape. The curve fits my hand, it's easily picked up from a table,and perhaps my only complaint is that with no lip around the screen (as the 5800 has) it's very easy in this thin candybar format to have your fingers stray into the touch screen area.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilHYHtPCAxr-Mne6KWywcxVUw7GJFgQ0uGXiWPk7KsighI_heB8hLncz4abGALefDxYSrDUtFt4aJLHhi-LIJJVjDA2xYQ3BQS0oRL6TfnKWrVWhb8K4tXMgn_FMrYF77igpBPEfckFgo/s1600-h/Nokia_X6_Cover.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilHYHtPCAxr-Mne6KWywcxVUw7GJFgQ0uGXiWPk7KsighI_heB8hLncz4abGALefDxYSrDUtFt4aJLHhi-LIJJVjDA2xYQ3BQS0oRL6TfnKWrVWhb8K4tXMgn_FMrYF77igpBPEfckFgo/s200/Nokia_X6_Cover.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426861623583494770" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Right then, let's address the biggest issue I'm having with the X6 – and it's a physical problem. The key-lock slider on the side of the unit, which unlocks the touch screen has two problems. It's far too stiff and the sliding key needs far too much pressure when pulled towards the base of the unit to be at all comfortable. Also, unlike the similarly functioning key on the 5800 which was heavily ridged, there's a tiny raised padlock symbol which gives almost no purchase on the key. This is a backwards step from the 5800 and one that seems to be more a lack of oversight than anything else.<br /><br />Yes, there should be some style, but this is a step too far.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibqiA5xa1ajGKMJyINQdjgq_jQBmnW3XijHCys9R6C-E93NuCv9MQdzt40sTNbIHS7AVMVF-Cga5AzmoMd-nUsBvQUm5dFUNxyTpcWBZU_fYkUEeoU-qKQB-jex4jrIc5v909aQiSRMNY/s1600-h/Nokia_X6_touch_screen.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibqiA5xa1ajGKMJyINQdjgq_jQBmnW3XijHCys9R6C-E93NuCv9MQdzt40sTNbIHS7AVMVF-Cga5AzmoMd-nUsBvQUm5dFUNxyTpcWBZU_fYkUEeoU-qKQB-jex4jrIc5v909aQiSRMNY/s200/Nokia_X6_touch_screen.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426861631220330354" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The top edge of the X6 carries all the connectivity and power options. There's a microUSB connector hiding under a plastic grommet that seems securely fixed to the X6 body, the 3.5mm headphone/headset socket, an charging socket and the power/profile button. That button seems to have a huge amount of play before it actually does anything, which isn't particularly reassuring; and the inclusion of the charging socket is required as the X6, amazingly, does not charge over USB.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7eOHwiZbZVxa6GLqZCI2wMsCl4GlGCejoOagyC1uzvEsGxDjk8ydBs06NtvaL0FQ3wWPl1NGA_lAiyqCtNcxyLUdikkpn6KHmla-MqPj5oZOkabG2jtC25Q4bxg0daP_uutW6l6C7I5Y/s1600-h/X6_cover.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7eOHwiZbZVxa6GLqZCI2wMsCl4GlGCejoOagyC1uzvEsGxDjk8ydBs06NtvaL0FQ3wWPl1NGA_lAiyqCtNcxyLUdikkpn6KHmla-MqPj5oZOkabG2jtC25Q4bxg0daP_uutW6l6C7I5Y/s200/X6_cover.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426863446635544386" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The volume buttons and camera buttons are in the expected place, on the right side with volume at the top and the two stage camera shutter button at the bottom. This is Nokia's design language and not something you would expect to see changed. What's interesting is that these two buttons are a different style to the key lock and power buttons. Much like the software of the X6, the outside seems to be two different ideals running into each other and compromising as best they can.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTNogFrcYPy4d3aW5y_YVedxlQ8q2M6KmsHaGwucY_pGALXQpWsdx74zV6ZdvjhTiESxiRRMyKqc_wvSqiOiiLDFtFsr9IZDzI7ZzOYBt0Q19wGK622Wf3R0e9EpG2m9u5unL6D9Hus3s/s1600-h/Nokai_x6_earphone.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTNogFrcYPy4d3aW5y_YVedxlQ8q2M6KmsHaGwucY_pGALXQpWsdx74zV6ZdvjhTiESxiRRMyKqc_wvSqiOiiLDFtFsr9IZDzI7ZzOYBt0Q19wGK622Wf3R0e9EpG2m9u5unL6D9Hus3s/s200/Nokai_x6_earphone.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426863451038506962" border="0" /></a><br /><br />On the opposite long edge to the volume buttons are the speakers – one at the top and one at the bottom. I like this positioning, both of them are on the left long spine of the X6. This makes little difference when the phone is thrown on the kitchen worktop as I bake another masterpiece (really? - Vikki Spence), but the benefit becomes clear when you watch video on the 16:9 ratio screen, you've got yourself some stereo separation for the latest feature film (or in my case Question Time on the BBC iPlayer). They're also a substantial set of speakers for such a small unit. You won't get high fidelity from them, but you will get enough noise to fill a hotel room as you get ready in the morning. That'll do for me.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsb-out7f8vciAepCUJnhs41-9l7oMciGeZfSjxRQ5IR47LbMO2Edk4LuKGofPmN6I7N1jwJKUJCRW0CLITPz8yF3oWLWbAo1sPQV_TVFy-rIYQKJWz7QdEOAu4Zg-LhEuAZrAdt6XOkU/s1600-h/Touch_screen.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsb-out7f8vciAepCUJnhs41-9l7oMciGeZfSjxRQ5IR47LbMO2Edk4LuKGofPmN6I7N1jwJKUJCRW0CLITPz8yF3oWLWbAo1sPQV_TVFy-rIYQKJWz7QdEOAu4Zg-LhEuAZrAdt6XOkU/s200/Touch_screen.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426863458713063378" border="0" /></a><br /><br />One problem with the diagonal styling on the top of the unit is around the 3.5mm headphone socket. Because the socket is at right angles to the screen, but the plastic moulding around it carries the angle. With certain cables that need to fit flush, they're pushed very slightly out of the socket, which is just enough in some cases to cause connection problems, especially for audio playback.<br /><br />Plugging in a generic peripheral to the socket and you're asked to confirm what you've just put in... every time. A default setting here would be nice. What would also be nice is if the Music Player paused when something is removed from the headphone socket, or at least have another option to set this, because it's really useful. Of course a certain company already does this – and if Nokia were to add this usability feature would they be hit with another patent/copying lawsuit? Who knows, but I wish they would take the chance.<br /><br />The X6, once it gets into the supply chai,n either on a hugely subsidised contract or in a version which removes the Comes with Music addition and brings the SIM free price into the 'disposable' range, should be a popular phone. And anything that makes the X6 punch above its RRP is to be welcomed. That's why some of these styling faults are going to be disproportionately punishing on the fortunes of the X6. People don't want to be seen with a 'cheap' phone; and the little niggles in the construction detailed above move the X6 away from 'stylish' to 'tacky.' It's not insurmountable – the screen and front style is lush and modern, but someone needs to get a grip in the factory and break some knuckles before the X6 breaks too many hearts on the High Street.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Source: allaboutsymbian</span></div>Adrenalin Banhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02575323044166993311noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646598330385174497.post-90768882221914776442009-12-03T22:03:00.001-08:002009-12-04T02:22:06.706-08:00How to Hard reset your Nokia N97<br/><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >If you’re unfortunate</span> enough to encounter a problem on your Nokia N97, a hard reset maybe what you need to do. This wipes the entire phone memory and settings fresh to how it was (or should be) when you bought it. It’s also useful if you’re also unfortunate enough to have to send away your Nokia N97 for repair or exchange, or maybe in future you maybe selling it and don’t want your information/details/media stored onto your device for someone else to access.<br /><br />The traditional method won’t work as the N97 doesn’t have the old keypad. After you’ve backed up your data onto memory card/pc/ovi, turn your phone off and simultaneously press these four buttons circled in red.<br /><br /> <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">* Caps shift</span> <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"> * Space bar</span> <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"> * Delete button</span> <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"> * On button</span><br /><br />You’ll know it’s worked when you see the initial set up screen, asking country of origin. I haven’t actually tried this, but I’ll be doing so when I return the trial N97.<br /><br /> * wiped phone memory but did not touch the mass memory (you’ll have to format that separately via File Manager) – got 61 MB back<br /> * Applications installed onto the memory card are still present<br /> * Fixed voice dialling, but after restoration from memory card, voice dialling was disabled again<br /> * Hasn’t Fixed broken GPS. Refuses to get a GPS fix<br /> * Restoring from memory card doesn’t put back widget/applications from phone memory you would have hoped to have been backed up on memory card – e.g. facebook/Nokia Messaging/N-Gage is gone<br /> * Restoring from memory card does not restore the menu to how you may have reconfigured it (extremely annoying)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTSF5jqMGJHz3HHHg4pXw6pgULDzhyphenhyphenWZLqsJNe8wgGT4DhJ2B4zeT1UqVM0LYYcJ92VwOhiEXQxTzQwxh6JXBFFy8WFTKcoVecx2I6oSAgbLClcTNrcEOaM-RvOdbNWcTPq-CAibdi9BY/s1600-h/N97+reset.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTSF5jqMGJHz3HHHg4pXw6pgULDzhyphenhyphenWZLqsJNe8wgGT4DhJ2B4zeT1UqVM0LYYcJ92VwOhiEXQxTzQwxh6JXBFFy8WFTKcoVecx2I6oSAgbLClcTNrcEOaM-RvOdbNWcTPq-CAibdi9BY/s200/N97+reset.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411324025732801250" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Press the Red Button at onceAdrenalin Banhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02575323044166993311noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646598330385174497.post-3259983942378563572009-12-03T22:00:00.000-08:002009-12-03T22:03:29.980-08:00How do I reset the Nokia N97 phone<br/>There has been a number of people having problems with their N97’s and having to totally reset the phone to fix different issues, so I’ve decided to put together this guide on the best way to go about the task and have the N97 back to full optimum usability.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 0);font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">Prepare for Reset</span></span><br />1. Phone contacts is the only thing I really backup, best way I use is to copy all contacts to mass memory for quick reinstall later:.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Within Contacts application:</span><br />a) Options \ Mark/Unmark \ Mark all<br />b) Options \ Copy business card \ To other memory<br />c) Select ‘E: Mass memory’ and ‘Yes’ to remove existing contacts from selected memory.<br /><br /><blockquote><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">NOTE:</span> You could use <span style="font-weight: bold;">Backup in File Manager</span> to copy Contacts, Calendar and Bookmarks to a memory card?</blockquote><br /><br />2. Other Application Data depends on what applications you have installed, have a look yourself and save on mass memory. I have Profimail & SplashID which I export the settings/data and save on Mass memory for importing later.<br /><br />3. Goto Menu\Settings\Application mgr.\Installed apps. and uninstall all applications installed on the Mass Memory.<br /><br />4. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Hard Reset</span> the phone my dialing <span style="font-weight: bold;">*#7370#</span> from the homescreen and entering Lock Code <span style="font-weight: bold;">12345</span><br /><br />Phone with now hard reset to the original firmware and factory settings. Once finished it will restart and ask you to enter region, date, time, etc. as if you just took the phone out the box when you first purchased it.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 0);font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">Installing from Fresh</span></span><br /><br />You now have a clean phone ready to load your data and install your applications back on, so this is the time you need to be careful what you do, where you install things and what you install. Personally I’ve got a list of the best application I like for Nokia phones and will only install these on a non-test phone, i.e. personal phone.<br /><br />5. Reclaim back phone memory before installing by uninstalling any firmware pre-installed applications you don’t use. I removed Facebook, weather apps, most of the widgets. etc.. If you’re never going to use them, then get rid of them, you can always reinstall from OVI Store or the nokiAAddict downloads page later :)<br /><br />6. Reinstall Phone contacts.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Within Contacts application:</span><br />a) Options \ Copy business card \ From other memory<br />b) Select ‘E: Mass memory’.<br /><br />7. Install all new applications to the Mass Memory, there might be a few apps which can only be installed on phone (Python & Wordmobi), but most should work okay installed on the Mass Memory. What applications to install is up to yourself, but I’ve found the main memory hugger is email. For Email the best application I’ve found is LCG Profimail which installs and works great on Mass Memory, unlike Nokia Messaging which only installs to phone memory. Although Profimail isn’t FREE its well worth the money for heavy email users.Adrenalin Banhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02575323044166993311noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646598330385174497.post-88046148453871962412009-12-03T21:54:00.000-08:002009-12-03T21:58:08.250-08:00How do I hard reset/format the n81 8GB or N95 phone?<br/><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">N95 and N81 codes</span></span><br />*#06# ............

Is the 5730 really a case of 'fashion over functionality'? Or is it one of the most feature packed, and yet relatively cheap smartphones in the world?<br /><br />Comparisons with the E75<br /><br />The very first thing you should know about the Nokia 5730 XpressMusic is that 98% of it is identical to the Nokia E75, the side sliding business smartphone that debuted in Spring 2009 and which has been reviewed extensively here on All About Symbian (reviews part one, two and three + long term review) - it's tempting to simply think of the 5730 as the 'consumer' version of the E75 and, indeed, it's fairly easy to summarise the differences between the two: see the table below listing the 'advantages' of each, relative to the other. However, there's more to it than this, as we shall see.<br /><br />All of which does seem like quite a list, and indeed there's a lot to discuss below, but don't let the table above kid you into thinking that these aren't, at heart, the same phone. If you look at the positioning of all the ports and side keys, if you look at the qwerty keyboard layout and spacing, if you compare audio and multimedia results, if you look at the recesses for ribbons and mechanism on the underside of the main keyboard, you'll quickly deduce that the E75 and 5730 are twins, separated at birth and led down slightly different life paths.<br /><br />It's slightly odd that the 5730 XpressMusic has appeared so much later than the E75, and galling considering that there's nothing cutting edge in its firmware that might provide a clue for this timing - after all the 5730 still has Nokia Maps v2 and the 'old' version of S60 Web. There's not even an Ovi Store link. Clearly, the 5730 was designed and specified concurrently with the E75, but the timescales for either production or marketing slipped and then the summer break got in the way. Well, that's my theory anyway. (One compensation for the wait is that a digital compass got added to the GPS chip in the meantime, of which more later.)<br /><br />But almost all potential buyers won't have seen an E75 in the flesh, so for the bulk of this review I'm going to treat the 5730 standalone, as a smartphone in its own right. For the guy or gal picking this up on a modest monthly contract in the High Street, what are they going to love and what are they going to hate (if anything)? I will put in some E75 comparison quips where needed, but I'll try not to let these dominate!<br /><br />The Nokia 5730 XpressMusic<br /><br />Essentially, the 5730 is a candy bar S60 smartphone with a hidden side-sliding qwerty keyboard. Such side-sliders aren't totally new to the High Street, with devices like the budget LG KS360 leading the way, bringing full qwerty to the masses. But the 5730's keyboard is in a different league. It's got four rows of characters, meaning that most symbols don't need shifting, and the key spacing is large for a phone. In fact, it's just about the perfect mobile keyboard for typing while standing up, using both thumbs, and it's lot faster than that in a typical Blackberry.<br /><br />And it's the keyboard (and the main keypad) where the styling of the 5730 starts to hit home, both in a good and a bad way. The key legends are all printed in a 1980's-esque dot matrix font, adding a unique character to the phone. In bright light, readability's not too bad, but in murky conditions (say, a badly lit office) it can be hard to see which key is which. Compared to the striking clear white key legends on the E75, it's tempting to dismiss the 5730 XpressMusic out of hand, but doing that misses half the point of the phone.<br /><br />This is aimed at the 15 to 25s market, targetting those with enough money to afford the 5730 and to also be able to afford the time and money (pre-raising a family) to have a night life. And it's at night that the 5730 XpressMusic shines. Almost literally. The dot matrix font, when backlit in a dark pub or club, looks extremely cool and is about the right visibility for bashing out texts, instant messages or social network status updates. In addition, the media control keys glow attractively and the translucent red strip around the 5730's frame catches spot lights and also glows, rather warmly. So, while it's tempting to lambast the design team for producing something with style over function, you can at least see how it might work in a typical user's (night) life.<br /><br />Staying with the Nokia 5730 XpressMusic's keys, there are several aspects of note (other than the already mentioned opinion-polarising font):<br /><br />* The number pad has discrete keys, which is good (the E75 has plastic strips, each with three 'keys'). And they're all domed for easy finger location. But, as with the E75, cramming the keys into such a small area does make for cramped input. Luckily, the presence of the qwerty keyboard means that such a restriction is easily forgiven.<br /><br />* The d-pad has the lightest 'feel' of any that I've ever used. Which either makes it a delight (I'm in this camp) or a right royal pain (Rita el-Khoury's in this camp), with some finding that a direction gets pressed when you simply mash down on the centre. It all depends on the size of your fingers and whether you're using the pad of your thumb or the thumbnail - yet another personal choice for this polarising phone!<br /><br /><br /># The function keys (left and right) are at a level of at least 1mm below the surface of the screen, meaning that each appears somewhat sunken. As a result, you again have to approach them with the thumbnail rather than the pad of the thumb if you don't want the surrounding keys to get activated.<br /><br /># The music control keys are large enough to hit accurately when you're looking at the phone, but they take some getting used to for controlling music playback 'unseen', e.g. when the phone's in your pocket. A degree of physical demarcation would have helped here - maybe a slight doming of each key, or perhaps a raised dot in the centre of each?<br /><br />The gaming keys, on a plastic rocker above the screen, are quite firm to press - for sensitive gaming, they're a little too 'hard' in their feel. The keys (circle=A, square=B) only light up and respond when you're in an official N-Gage game, but it's quite cool when they do - with the 5730 held in landscape mode, with the d-pad on the left, the gaming keys are perfectly placed for traditional gaming, e.g. Fire/Jump/Strike.<br /><br />The main qwerty keys are ever so slightly textured, giving good grip when needed.<br /><br />The main display is the same as that on the E75 - limited to 2.4" diagonal by the form factor and the need to fit in a numeric keypad on the front of the phone. Visibility is good though, with the transflective backing making it easy to read even in direct sunlight. The resolution's the 2007/2008 standard QVGA and, while this looks a little small compared to some of the smartphones being released, it's fine for a 2.4" screen and it'll be fine for the target market here.<br /><br />On the 5730's left are flush-covered ports for microUSB (for connection to a desktop, for filling with music, principally) and microSD, an improvement on the weird covers on the E75, which stick out awkwardly. Also good to see is the inclusion of a 8GB card to get new users started. Indeed, for many casual users, 8GB may be enough for all their needs. On the downside, extracting the microSD is quite tricky, harder than on the E75 because of the extra 1mm width of the plastic casing - the card is just that little bit further inside the hatch and is hard to grab hold of.<br /><br />On the 5730's top is a 4-way (i.e. smartphone) 3.5mm audio jack. Supplied in the box are a great set of stereo, in-ear (complete with spare rubber seals) headphones with hands-free microphone pod a third of the way down the main cable. Perfect. Sound quality is very good through these headphones (though E75 owners should note that this device sounds identical through the same headset, more evidence that the internal electronics are the same.)<br /><br />On the device's right are a volume up/down rocker (which also works in Photos, to zoom in and out) and a functional two-stage camera shutter button.<br /><br />As with the E75, there's the (fairly unique) option to charge in two completely different ways. Either via the supplied 2mm mains charger, or via microUSB, from either a data cable or (indeed) a microUSB mains charger. You can even plug in both at the same time, though the 5730 doesn't actually charge twice as fast! It's good to have this dual charger compatibility and a very flexible arrangement.<br /><br />Bringing up the rear - oh dear<br /><br />Turning the 5730 XpressMusic over brings several more points of note, most of them bad. Most obvious is the one piece plastic back of the phone, which hooks into the right side of the device and then clicks into place in 'landscape' fashion - don't worry if that sounds tricky, as Nokia helpfully attach a sticker to every new phone, with a diagram! On the plus side, the matt plastic is immune to greasy fingerprints and it's also very light. On the minus side, presumably in order to keep enough tension in it to keep the cover in place, Nokia has bowed it slightly, meaning that the 5730 is at least 1mm thicker than it needs to be - in fact, there's enough space inside the bowed cover that the battery physically rattles if you shake the phone. I've stuck a folded Post-It note in there to pad out the battery a bit.<br /><br />Also reeking of 'designed this on a Friday afternoon' is the way the 5730's loudspeaker is muffled by the cover. The device's speaker has a pretty good raw frequency response, as can be heard in the E75, which positions a nice little metal grille over the right spot, with plenty of tinkly cymbals in music and crisp voice overtones in podcasts. The 5730 XpressMusic's solid plastic back cover has no such openings, other than a little sound leakage through the extreme top right corner, completely ruining the frequency output from the speaker. There's a simple fix, of course, more DIY(!), and (risking Rafe's wrath) I'm going to be taking my drill and making my own 'grille' of holes - watch this space for photo proof 8-)<br /><br />Last, but by no means least, on the Nokia 5730 XpressMusic's rear is the camera, identical in specification to that of the E75 and more than its equal in terms of quality. Which is saying something, since the E75 has just about the best 3 megapixel camera I've ever seen in a phone. The 5730 adds a Carl Zeiss-branded lens, bringing slightly sharper detail and slightly better colours. The difference is marginal, to be honest, but it can be seen. There'll be more on the 5730 XpressMusic's camera in part 2 of my review, but in the meantime, have a look at these blow-ups of the same sunny scene: the E75's photo is on the left, the 5730's on the right. Note how the red play equipment is redder, the green leaves are greener and the blue sky is bluer. The railings are also slightly sharper, if you look closely enough.<br /><br />Although not quite capable of semi-pro photos and dubious for printed blowups of more than 7" x 5", 3 megapixels, combined with this lens and sensor, is certainly enough for good casual photography. As you might expect, the unit struggles in low light, but even here it performs a lot better than, for example, the camera in the Nokia 5800 (and sister devices) and miles better than the mountain of 3mp camera phones from many other manufacturers.<br /><br />Wireless matters<br /><br />The number of aerials in each phone that comes out these days just goes up and up. In the 5730 XpressMusic we have GPS (complete with an integrated magnetometer - i.e. a digital compass), an FM radio, Wi-Fi (b and g variants), quad-band GSM and tri-band 3G. Some people have reported network reception problems in the E75, but I've seen none in either that device nor this one - signal strength has been excellent.<br /><br />I also had no problems with GPS lock, when taking Nokia Maps 2 out for a spin. Yes, version 2, a little disappointing, although plugging the 5730 into Nokia Maps Updater on a PC upgraded things to Ovi Maps 3.1 and brought me bang up to date for free. I'm guessing that an official Ovi Maps 3 update will slip into an upcoming firmware.<br /><br />Sadly there's no FM Transmitter, something which I'd been starting to take for granted in recent S60 smartphone launches. Still, at the current £250 and at the predicted £200 price point, it's fair to say that something had to be left out. Having GPS and Wi-Fi and Carl Zeiss optics in the camera are already most welcome!Adrenalin Banhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02575323044166993311noreply@blogger.com0
