Some lucky folks get to to play with phones not yet available to the public like the Nokia N97 and the Nokia N86 then upload their photos to Flickr. I’m sure you want to preview the image quality before these devices hit the sales floor. I’ll show you how to find these photos, but hope I don’t get anyone in trouble by sharing this information.

We will be using Google to find these photos. It’s simple. Ready? Just search this:

You can replace the device to whatever upcoming phone you want to check out and you might get lucky.

When you are at a photo page, scroll down and look for the camera information on the right column. It looks like this:

Some photos show up as being “taken with a Nokia” without a model number or name. I suspect those are very early prototypes. Let us know if you find anything interesting!

I’ve taken several photos with the Nokia 5800 and it makes me miss my N85 and especially the Nokia N82. The photos from the Nokia 5800 are noticeably worse. Take a look at sample photos I took this past weekend.

Nokia 5800 sample

Head to the blog if you can’t see the embedded slideshows below. Photos were taken from the Nokia 5800 NAM with v20 firmware under automatic settings.

Daylight

All the photos were taken in automatic mode. The photos during the day doesn’t seem to have the right white balance, showing inaccurate colors. Even when the photos are resized smaller, I still notice artifacts resulting in somewhat grainy photos.

Lounge w/ Low-Light

Don’t bother taking the Nokia 5800 to a bar or lounge. Even with the dual-leds flash, your friends will look green if you get close enough to light them. Step back for a full-body shot and you might be lucky to see just a glimpse of them in the dark.

Thoughts

For a 3 megapixel Carl-Zeiss camera with dual-LED’s flash, I was hoping to see better pictures from the Nokia 5800. It did not meet my expectations, but maybe I expected too much. What do you think? Does it meet your expectations?
