Oh the N96! I’ve had such a love and hate relationship with this handset, even before having touched it, that I don’t know where to start from. When I got the N96 last week, as a part of the Challenges, I told myself that I’ll try to look at it with new eyes, without any [...]
Introduced by Nokia as the N95-follower, the N85 is probably that and more. This is the handset that is making a lot of bloggers and Symbian fans drool around the world, even our very own Guru. I will also admit that even though I might probably not get an N85 myself, for financial reasons, I [...]
We continue our coverage of the Nseries launch event in Lebanon by tackling individually each of the 3 handsets that were introduced. The first one, the N96, is … ehm … a brick. It’s big, very very big, and the design is made in a manner that makes it look even larger than it really [...]
One of the main selling points of the N85, besides it being the multimedia powerhouse with a decent battery, is its 2.6 inch OLED display. I’ve heard a lot about the advantages of these, especially in terms of contrast and power consumption, and although I didn’t have the N85 long enough during the Nseries launch [...]
The other day, I was looking at the N81 in front of me and it hit me: there is no decent Nseries slider. I don’t mean this in a build-quality perspective (although it is true) but in terms of features offered. The most recent Nseries sliders offered by Nokia are the N81, N95 8GB and [...]
Following yesterday’s first part of this editorial about picking the perfect handset that fits your personal needs, I will look today at the offerings in the Symbian arena that fit different user profiles. Music Junkie: With a well placed 3.5 mm headset, 8GB of internal storage, A2DP support, great volume and quality output, dedicated music [...]
The Nokia N81 received a firmware update yesterday, on the 4th of July. The new update adds quite a few fun features, as well as plenty of stability improvements and whatnot. You can get the update through the Nokia Software Updater, which has an icon on the latest Nokia PC Suite (though, annoyingly, clicking on [...]
Ever since I started the N95 8GB Lebanon Ambassador mission, I have been hammered by those same people to whom I demonstrated the power of the flagship handset. The fact that Nokia had sent me a trial device made me the first got-to person for a lot of friends, neighbors, classmates, family members, when it [...]
The Nokia Ngage Blog has posted an update on the First Access program going on for Nokia N81 owners. First Access was designed to give N81 owners a sneak preview at the Ngage application and experience, and will be ending officially on March 27th. Current users will still be able to access the application and [...]
