The new Nokia N82

Nokia N82I really hope that Nokia will stop calling their phones multimedia computers because they are pretty far from being what I consider a multimedia computer, but the new Nokia N82 looks like it can be a pretty good phone. The phone features a 5 megapixel camera with optics from Carl Zeiss and a xenon flash (no optical zoom yet though), GPS and Wi-Fi. The price in Europe will be €450 (roughly $650). More photos and press release inside.

Full press release from Nokia:

It’s what cameras have become – the new Nokia N82

Nokia introduces a leading edge connected camera, navigation device and multimedia computer in one

Espoo, Finland, November 14, 2007 – Nokia unveils the Nokia N82, the latest multimedia computer optimized for photography, navigation and internet connectivity. With the tools to discover the places and moments worth capturing, and the capabilities to capture and share them instantaneously, the Nokia N82 offers photography enthusiasts an enhanced camera experience.

Discover, capture and share
The Nokia N82 enables you to explore your surroundings and find your way with navigation and routing; document your adventures with the high quality imaging capabilities; and instantly share your experiences with one click upload to the web.

Featuring A-GPS, 5 megapixel camera, Xenon flash, Carl Zeiss optics and internet connectivity, the Nokia N82 also incorporates all the multimedia computer features common to Nokia Nseries. Like its predecessor the Nokia N95, the Nokia N82 is the latest epitome of a truly converged device that is not one thing but is many.

The evolution of camera capabilities in mobile devices has been extremely fast over the past years. With the Nokia N82 we have reached such a superior level in image quality, speed and ease of use that not only does it outperform any other cameraphone on the market, but it’s also a very credible alternative for single purpose digital still cameras,” says Satu Ehrnrooth, head of Nokia Nseries Cameras Category, Multimedia, Nokia. “In addition to the high-end camera, the Nokia N82 also enables you to navigate and discover new places, enjoy your music, browse the web, play games, chat online and be part of the global web 2.0 community wherever you go. Thanks to the wireless broadband connectivity, convergence and yet again increased performance, the Nokia N82 is all you need in your pocket!

Discover the world
The powerful A-GPS and preinstalled* Nokia Maps help you explore and locate new places, whether in another country or just around the corner. All Nokia N82 standard sales packages come with a free voice guided navigation trial*, and you can purchase additional features, such as city guides and longer subscription to the navigation.

With access to more than 15 million points of interest, you can locate and navigate to the most interesting sights, bars or restaurants wherever you are. You can also send map excerpts and routes to friends by MMS or save map screen shots to the gallery.

Share your stories
With high speed Wi-Fi connectivity and one-click upload to online communities, the Nokia N82 makes sharing your experiences and discoveries easy. When viewing a picture or video, simply one press of a button starts uploading it while you carry on using the device for other purposes.

Or you can impress your friends with multimedia slideshows – complete with music and effects – on the high resolution display or on a compatible TV.

The Nokia N82 comes with the new content driven 3D multimedia menu and includes a convenient orientation sensor that rotates the user interface automatically between horizontal and portrait mode. For quick and easy access to entertainment content, the Nokia N82 also supports the Ovi family of Nokia internet services, including Nokia Music Store, N-Gage games** and Nokia Maps.

The Nokia N82 is available now in key markets with an estimated, pre-tax, unsubsidized sales price of approximately 450 euros. (gadgets.fosfor.se)

Nokia 6555 – 3G on a Budget

Nokia 6555
3G has hit the mainstream, no longer the exclusive territory of expensive premium phones. Finally we are starting to see 3G phones for the budget minded. The quad-band GSM, dual-band UMTS Nokia 6555 is just such a phone. At $50 when committing to a 2 year contract with AT&T, the stylish 6555 promises much, including 3G and Multimedia. But can it deliver?

Physical Aspects

Nokia presents its 6555 3G phone in a clamshell configuration. Opening the phone with one hand is simple enough by working your thumb between the two halves. The hinge mechanism seems to be sprung just strongly enough to snap the phone open easily. Also, when open, the ear piece and microphone are in their traditional spots with the mic residing near the user’s mouth, below the keypad. For folks not comfortable with smaller phones, this can be a plus. Rubber padding in the hinge contributes to noiseless opening and adds to an overall high quality tactile experience. Despite its price, the phone doesn’t feel cheap.

Our evaluation unit was finished in glossy black with chrome accents. The overall effect is a classy look. When in the open position, the exterior chrome accents meet to form a rather nifty looking loop. While the glossy finish may be vulnerable to scratches, it’s worth noting that not even micro abrasions were apparent after our time with the phone. These would stand out readily against a black finish so it seems that Nokia used quality materials when building the 6555.

The keypad and controls are fairly straightforward. The nicely backlit keys are laid out conventionally, with the only exterior buttons being the volume control and the push to talk button for AT&T’s Nextel-style walkie-talkie service. Additional buttons for AT&T internet and video services are clearly marked with the AT&T logo and a TV screen logo. The d-pad that is used for navigation has a separate selection button in the center. While this configuration takes a lot more real estate, it is more accurate than the all-in-one d-pads used on some phones.

Powering on and off is intuitive. As with most phones these days, the 6555 is brought to life by pressing the same red button that is normally used to end calls. Pressing the same button for an extended period returns the phone to a powered down state. The volume control is also intuitive. A long, sleek rocker control is located just where your thumb tends to land when holding the phone left-handed, making it easy to adjust volume during a call. Tactile button feel is good, so you know when you’ve pressed it correctly.

From button design and placement to the phone’s shape while open, the design reflects well thought out ergonomics everywhere. As is common for a clamshell phone, the exterior display on the 6555 can be set to depict an analog clock, which adds an additional layer of class to the phone. Both displays are vivid and easy to read even in bright sunlight. Colors, too, are bright and clear. The primary QVGA (240×320 pixel) display is particularly nice. For wearers of polarized sunglasses, these had little impact on the screen’s legibility which can be a frequent problem with LCD displays and polarized lenses. Core Functions

Call quality is quite good in general. The clamshell form factor seems to contribute to this, increasing the isolation between speaker and mic, which helps to eliminate the likelihood of echo. Caller voices were clear and the same was true for those on the receiving end. Here in the Florida keys, AT&T has excellent coverage, and I experienced no dropped calls. 3G data speeds averaged around 165kbps, which is consistent and significantly faster than EDGE. Bluetooth dial-up networking was problem free, and connections were easily established once the phone was paired to a computer. (www.mobileburn.com)

Sony Ericsson Z750 in Mirrored Pink

Sony Ericsson Z750While it looks very much like the mirror finished Z610 that was announced a little over a year ago, the Sony Ericsson Z750 offers a number of improvements that make the device viable to far more people than the original. Take, for example, the Z750’s new quad-band GSM/EDGE and tri-band UMTS/HSDPA connectivity. This means the Z750 will work on just about any GSM or UMTS network on the planet, something the tri-band GSM and single-band UMTS Z610 couldn’t claim. There are other changes as well, like the new GPS functionality and integrated Google Maps.

The Z750 we tested for this review is a near-production prototype supplied to us by Sony Ericsson USA. As a prototype, minor problems that we experience in our review tests will quite likely be addressed and fixed before these phones ever make it to the retail consumer. We can’t say with 100% certainty that such issues will be fixed, but the phone itself was overall very stable and performed very nearly like a production handset, and Sony Ericsson has been made aware of any issues we came across.

Physical Aspects

While I have to admit that I wasn’t particularly thrilled to see that our Z750 test unit was pink, I can also admit that the look of the phone has grown on me over the past week or so. Considering that at 98mm x 59mm x 21mm (3.9″ x 2.3″ x .8″) in size and weighing 111g (3.9oz), the Z750 isn’t what you would call small or thin, but it has some nice, simple lines and a distinctive look to it. The mirrored finish on the top half of the folder doesn’t show fingerprints nearly as much as I had feared it would, and I really love the way the small, hidden monochrome display just seems to float on the surface of the phone. The display provides all the information that one typically needs, such as caller ID info and signal and battery status, yet wastes very little power when used.

There are few features on the exterior of the phone apart from the prominent camera. On the left edge of the phone are the volume and music keys. The volume keys perform normally when pressed for a short duration, but also function as previous and next track controls when long-pressed. The dedicated music pause/play button is located nearby. The other edge of the phone is where the Sony M2 memory card slot is found. The loudspeaker is found on the back of the device, and the slightly curved “ice scraper” antenna keeps the speaker from being blocked when the phone sits on a desk. A normal fast port power/data connector is located on the bottom of the device. The hinge, while spring loaded, is somewhat odd in that it will ensure that the phone snaps fully opened or closed, yet allows the phone to be positioned freely somewhere in the middle as well. This is good for improving readability while it sits upon a desk.

The Sony Ericsson Z750 is a bit more conventional looking once it has been opened. It has a reasonably large color display, and a very spacious keypad and control cluster. The display is of only average brightness, but it is exceptionally crisp and colorful. The pixels on it are so tightly spaced as to make it almost look like paper at times. The keypad has an outstanding layout and feel, the best I have come across in a while. The d-pad works well and offers good action, but has a nail file like feel to it that I found somewhat annoying. The twin chrome softkeys are a bit small but are very easy to find and use. The call buttons are clones of the softkeys, and sit above dedicated web, clear, and shortcut menu buttons. Beneath the keypad sits the power key. It is interesting to note that Sony Ericsson seems to have abandoned its normal control cluster layout and no longer offers a dedicated back key, while using conventional red and green call buttons.

My only real complaints regarding the Z750’s physical design are fairly minor. The backlighting on the keypad is somewhat uneven, though the d-pad and controls are well-lit. And while the body pieces of the Z750 seem to fit together with fairly tight tolerances, the device as a whole feels a bit hollow and a tad less sturdy than some other high-end clamshells on the market. But overall, it’s a nice package. (www.mobileburn.com)

Samsung’s Juke Makes Beautiful Music

Samsung SCH-U470 JukeJust in time for the holiday season, Verizon Wireless has introduced a new device geared towards budget conscious music lovers, the Samsung SCH-U470, also known as the Juke. The Juke is basically a music player that just happens to also be a phone. Does the music centric Samsung Juke have what it takes to make it into little Johnny’s stocking this holiday season?

Verizon’s Samsung U470 Juke is a hip and trendy MP3 styled device specifically designed with the younger crowd in mind. Its small and compact design, along with a spinning d-pad, makes this device this seasons must have. The Juke is slightly bigger than a pack of Wrigley’s stick gum and is offered in a glossy hue of teal, red, or navy. For this review, we were provided with a mild manner navy blue version. The front face of the Juke is mirrored and surrounds the brightly colored 1.45″ 262k (128×220 pixel) external display. For such a small display, the Juke’s screen rendered photos and menus nicely. The Juke’s main attraction, the metallic scroll wheel d-pad, worked wonderfully and made navigation a joy. When the device is closed, the Juke’s music player can be activated with a quick press and hold of the wheel’s select/OK key. The music player’s menu will pop up in landscape mode, showing the Juke’s music library and its list of music files. It should be noted that the Juke supports MP3/WMA/AAC/AAC+ but does not support any files from Apple’s iTunes.

On the left side of the Juke is where both the covered headset and charging ports are found, as well as the lock/hold switch for the Juke’s music player, which comes in handy when listening to tunes on the go. Jumping over to the right side, things are kept to a minimum with the phone’s volume rocker. The rocker not only adjusts the volume but also quickly puts the Juke in vibrate or silence mode. Around back sits the device’s speaker and VGA fixed focus camera lens. The speaker, when tested, provided reasonable sound quality during playback. (www.mobileburn.com)

The Big Nokia N81 8GB

Nokia N81Nokia’s newest Nseries device, the N81 8GB, is an update to the N91, one of the first smartphones to have 8GB of internal storage capacity. This slider is also one of the initial handsets that supports both the Nokia Music Store that just launched in the UK recently, as well as the upcoming N-Gage platform. Pitched as a music phone, with its dedicated playback keys and whopping 8GB of internal storage, does the Nokia N81 8GB stand up to its predecessor?

Physical Aspects

The Nokia N81 8GB weighs in at a solid 140g (4.9oz) and measures 102mm x 50mm x 17.8mm (4″ x 2″ x 0.7″). The N81 8GB fits nicely in one hand, with all buttons in range of your thumb for easy use. The entire device is covered in a very smooth, shiny plastic that shows fingerprints and also can be too smooth to get a good grip on. The back cover does not feel very solidly designed and causes a lot of creaking during use.

The middle chassis of this smartphone is metal that is colored a light bronze-tan on the 8GB version of the N81, and bright blue on the microSD version. The front of the device is solid black, while the back is an absolutely beautiful subtle brown with metallic flakes. This is a nice change from the typical Plum color that Nokia has been using lately, and I hope that it continues. On the right hand side of the phone are the camera button, the volume rocker, and one of the stereo speakers. The left side of the device is barren, save for the other stereo speaker. On the top of the device are the power button (which I found to be a bit too difficult to press) and the keylock switch. This spring loaded keylock switch is merely pushed to the right to activate it, and then it slides back to the left. The 3.5mm audio jack is also located at the top center of the N81 8GB.

The front of the Nokia N81 features the front-facing VGA camera for video calls, when supported by the network. The display is a generous 2.4″, 16.7 million color screen with 240 x 320 pixel resolution. This display is very bright, though thanks to the glossy layer, not easily viewed in direct sunlight. The screen is flush mounted with the front of the phone, which prevents gunk from building up in the corners, and makes keeping it clean a simpler task.

The bottom third of the front of the N81 is occupied by the key cluster. There are a whopping 11 buttons here, not counting the d-pad. The left and right softkeys are located at the top, with the S60 menu key and ‘c’ button directly below. The end and send keys have been moved to the side edges, flanking the d-pad. Surrounding the d-pad are the four dedicated music playback buttons. These music buttons are active in all menus of the phone, allowing you to easily control the music no matter what screen you’re currently in. There is a small horizontal silver button to the right of the d-pad that serves as the Multimedia Key. Pressing this key once will take you to Nokia’s new carousel multimedia menu, while long-pressing it will take you directly to the music player. At the top of the front face there are also two keys that are only using for gaming and for zooming when viewing photos. Sliding the front face up reveals the numeric keypad, which is a single membrane separated horizontally into four rows.

All of the buttons on the N81 offer great tactile feedback, though I found the d-pad to be a bit too firm and hard to press. When first using the device, the dedicated music buttons were easy to press by accident, given their proximity to the d-pad, but after a few days of use, I quickly learned how to avoid mispresses. The d-pad also features a touch-sensitive layer that Nokia calls the ‘naviwheel’. It functions similarly to the iPod’s touch-scroll, and works well, though it was curiously disabled by default in the menus. Also, unfortunately, this handy scrolling technique is only usable in the multimedia (music, imaging, etc) menus, and not throughout the rest of the user interface. Hopefully a firmware update will rectify this.

Since the Nokia N81 8GB has 8GB of internal storage, there is no memory card slot for expanded memory. On the bottom of the device you will find the charging port, which uses Nokia’s current small-barrel charger, and the micro-USB port. Unfortunately, charging through the micro-USB port is not supported. There is also a loop for a lanyard located on the bottom of the phone.

The back of the device houses the 2.0 megapixel camera with flash. The entire back plate of the phone can be removed to reveal the 1050mAh battery and SIM card tray. (www.mobileburn.com)

Nokia N91 – The iPod Killer?

Nokia N91The Nokia N91 has been one of the most highly anticipated music phones. It was one of the phones touted to be an iPod killer, as it has a 4GB hard drive similar to the now defunct iPod Mini. After being delayed for some time now, the N91 is finally here, and Mobile Burn managed to get hold of one for a test drive. The Nokia N91 runs on Symbian OS v9.1 and, like the previously reviewed N71, it also features the much improved 3rd edition of the S60 user interface.

Sporting a 2-megapixel camera and WiFi connectivity, the N91 has a lot going for it. The Nokia N91 is a dual mode phone, featuring WCDMA/GSM operation (GSM 900/1800/1900MHz, WCDMA 2100MHz). I do not have access to any 3G SIM cards, so this review will be about the N91’s capabilities in GSM mode.

So is the N91 really an iPod killer? Let’s check it out.

Physical Aspects

Many have commented on how ugly and huge the N91 looks when pictures of it first surfaced on the World Wide Web. I was one of the ones who thought the N91 was too chunky, and it just didn’t appeal to me. When I first held it in my hand, all thought of that vanished. The stainless steel body of the N91 oozed quality. It has a matte finish, mind you, and thus it does not attract fingerprints as much as the Nokia 8800, which is also encased in stainless steel. The glossy dark grey chrome areas around the screen and music control buttons were also surprisingly resistant to fingerprints. This is definitely a great plus point, since I did not have to spend much time cleaning it each time I used it. The build quality is one of the best I have experienced so far, and there were no squeaks or creaks found anywhere. The slider mechanism is not spring loaded, but it was solid with no looseness felt anywhere.

The first thing you notice about the N91 is that it does not have a second forward-facing camera; this makes it difficult to make video calls. The second thing is the absence of the light sensor so often found in previous S60 phones. Just below the display, you will find the 5-way navigation joystick, which is flanked by the right and left soft keys and Call and End keys. The joystick felt just right and was not too stiff. On the slider, you will find the music control buttons shaped in a rectangular box, which is slightly raised, enabling easy access even in the dark – an important point, as these buttons are not backlit. The music control keys consist of Play/Pause, Next, Previous, and Stop. The music access key sticking out of the top right corner of the rectangle allows you to easily switch to the music player application.

On the right of the phone, you will find the Menu key situated near the top. This is quite an unusual place for the button, as it makes accessing it difficult for left-handers. It is easy to reach with your thumb when it is in your right hand, but with the phone in your left hand, you have to position your index finger in an awkward position to reach it. The back cover release button is also situated on this side of the phone. Both of these buttons are clad in chrome, a very nice touch, and this adds to the top class feel that this phone has to offer.

On the left, the volume keys are situated just above the loudspeaker. The mini USB 2.0 port is located near the bottom of the phone. I was disappointed when I found out that I could not charge the phone via the USB connector. However, the transfer speeds were decent with the bundled USB data cable. The charging port and microphone are located at the bottom of the phone. On top, you will find the Power button along with the keypad lock switch. Yes, the N91 comes with a switch that allows you to easily lock the keypad, something like the Silent ringer switch found on the Treo 650/700. The best thing about the N91 is the inclusion of a 3.5mm headphone jack, situated on the top of the device. This means you can use your favorite set of headphones when listening to music on the N91. The N91 also ships with a remote control, which doubles as a microphone, along with a set of ear buds.

The 2-megapixel camera is located at the back of the phone. The battery cover is made of stainless steel, and it was secure with no noticeable gaps. Sliding open the N91, the blue backlit keypad seems tiny, like each key is a grain of rice. The Edit key is placed to the left of the numerical keys and the Clear key to the right. It took some time for me to get used to the keypad because of its size, but after awhile, typing an SMS did not seem as daunting. The raised profile of the keys helped in providing good feedback, and prevented wrong key presses. Overall, I would have preferred bigger keys, but the N91’s keypad works just fine with some getting used to.

Measuring 113.1mm x 55.2mm x 22mm (4.45″ x 2.17″ x 0.87″) and weighing 164g (5.78oz), the Nokia N91 is certainly a huge and chunky phone. However, with the excellent build quality and top-notch materials used, I have no complaints about it. In fact, many of my friends have commented on how cool the phone looked, especially with its stainless steel body. (www.mobileburn.com)

Hello world!
