Final Exams = A Little Break
I’m in the middle of two weeks of final examinations so there will not be any new entries until the end of this week. I will also try to respond to article questions as soon as I’m done. Thanks for reading!
Nokia N95 Preview by Ján Trangel
Ján Trangel from MobilMania.sk gives a preview of the Nokia N95 with lots of pictures. The preview is in Slovak, but the pictures are probably more important to you. The color of the Nokia N95 previewed is Plum. Check it out.
More Sample Photos From Nokia N95 on Flickr
There are a few people that previewed the Nokia N95 out there already, but you will not find many of them showing off sample pictures from the 5 megapixel camera. Bjorn Wigforss from the Nokia Multimedia Product Marketing team shared 12 photos under different lighting conditions. Thanks to him, people interested in buying the Nokia N95 when available in a few months can preview the phone’s image quality.
Rumors Say the Nokia 330 is Following the Nokia 770
There are rumors going around that the Nokia 770 will have a little brother. Online leaks say that the Nokia 330 will be featuring GPS and DIVX player in addition to what the Nokia 770 already have. The 3.5 inches screen is smaller but this can be seen as being more ‘portable’ than the Nokia 770. Check the pic.
Sid Previews the Nokia N95
Sid from Mobile-Review forums had the chance of playing with a Nokia N95. He comments on its build quality, screen, camera, and more. What interests me is his comment on the camera’s flash,
The LED is indeed a powerful one! It works like a normal flash used in cameras i.e. flashing multiple times while clicking one pic. This seemed to be one beautiful addition… way better that any existing Nokia!
E61 Life Recommends the Nokia Blog
While scavenging for interesting stories, I notice a positive mention of the Nokia blog by Daniel over at the E61 life. From the title, you can probably tell that it’s a resource for tips, news, and software recommendations for Nokia E61 users. Daniel says:
the Nokia blog posts news, rumors, reviews, videos and guides for Nokia phones. Good looking website and interesting posts. Well worth a look.
More Early Photo Samples From Nokia N95
It’s only a matter of time now before bloggers flood the web with sample pictures taken from the Nokia N95. Before that moment comes, Mobilmania shows off two photos. Just like the photo taken by Paul, these also look good. Having an attractive woman on there too is a plus.
Paul Whitaker Now Has the Nokia N95
Paul Whitaker just received an early prototype of the Nokia N95. He took a self-portrait and this picture should be the first photo ever to be published to show the public the quality of the 5 megapixel camera inside. I’m actually satisfied with the quality of the photo. The noise is not very noticeable even in high resolution (a problem with the Nokia N93). An interesting note: his flickr page shows: “Taken with Nokia 9999.”
Howard Chui Returns From Open Studio 2006
Howard Chui, the site owner of the infamous forum, Howard Forums, returned from the New York Nokia Open Studio 2006 with some eye candies. Read his coverage for the N95, N75, 5200, 5300 and 3250. Also see the videos showing the Nokia N95′s GPS capabilities and the comparison with a Nokia N80.
Preview: Playing With the Nokia N95 Prototype
Thanks to Nokia for letting me play with a Nokia N95 prototype! The operating system in the version I used was still buggy, so I really can’t say anything about its functions. One noticeable bug was that the camera is upside down. However, I can share my first impressions of its form and appearance. I can look at the paper for the specifications, but holding it in my own hands gave me a better impression of the real thing.
