Nokia N8 Cam Shots: The spring is coming!

Posted: 06 Apr 2011 12:30 PM PDT


It's been a rather rainy day today here in Austria, but since the weather has cleared up a bit, i was out and about with the Nokia N8 before. Spring has finally arrived and with it some buds on the tree right in front of the company I'm working at. If you know me, you know my love for the Nokia N8. Symbian^3 doesn't exactly make it the most user-friendly device, but as mentioned in my Nokia E7 hits and misses post, Nokia's hardware is unmatched. Focus point on the Nokia N8 is of course the 12MP camera with carl zeiss optics, a xenon flash and the biggest sensor ever put into a mobile phone. The results were so awesome, I've decided to do this quick post here at Fone Arena! pretty impressive, considering it's still a smartphone mainly, right? :) In case you wanna check those pics out full size, head over to my flickr set - Beauty of Nature!

With that in mind we've put this 'PlayStation Certified' Android handset through its paces over the last week and our conclusions are below, but the general impression is incredibly positive. Apple's iPhone may have spearheaded a touch-screen revolution in the mobile phone gaming arena, but the Xperia Play proves conclusively that there's still a place for proper buttons. The Controls Although Sony Ericsson decided against plastering the iconic PlayStation logo on the exterior of the phone, when you slide open the Xperia Play's gaming interface you can't help but think of the PSPgo, the revised edition of the popular PlayStation Portable handheld that was launched by Sony in 2009. The layout is incredibly similar, and for gamers that's most definitely a positive thing. The recessed D-pad and buttons don't have much travel, but they're highly responsive and emit a satisfying 'click' when pressed. The PlayStation's famous dual shock analogue ...

This device was launched at CommunicAsia last June and hit Indian shores late last year.At the first look, I didn't liked the squarish design of this device and found it a bit girly. Nokia X5-01 is an X-series phone, known for its music features. As usual, this handset comes with a special key for the music player, however the previous/rewind and next/forward keys were missing from this handset. This handset comes with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, which helps you to type fast and stay connected with your friends on the go. Nokia X5-01 runs on the Symbian S60v3 operating system and it comes with some great features such as a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g, 3G connectivity and more.
