How to: Hard reset your Nokia N8

If you’re unfortunate enough to encounter a problem on your Nokia N8, a hard reset maybe what you need to do. This wipes the entire phone memory and settings fresh to how it was (or should be) when you bought it. It’s also useful if you’re also unfortunate enough to have to send away your Nokia N8 for repair or exchange, or maybe in future  you maybe selling it and don’t want your information/details/media stored onto your device for someone else to access. Hopefully unlike the N97, the N8 will not encounter hard-reset bugs where we constantly have to hard reset

Gallery: Nokia N8 versus Fuji Finepix F30 (and Motorola Zn5)

When everyone else was doing 10MP, Fuji were one of the few companies that forcibly stuck to the lower megapixel ranges in an attempt to make the best use out of each and every pixel. Their early finepix models were spectacular, particularly in low light, with low noise in high ISO in comparison to their competitors who sought to attract the naive public with the megapixel race. This is a touch like Nokia with the N86 8MP. They only moved up when they were ready for it, and boy have they shown folks that they’re ready

Gallery: Nokia N8 versus Sony Ericsson Satio versus Samsung Pixon 12 (Battle of the 12MP cam phones)

GSM Arena has already performed a shootout (blind one in fact in an attempt to reduce bias) of the Nokia N8 against the Samsung Pixon 12 . Which as we know, comfortably won, beating out even the dedicated digital camera, the Sony HX5. They said that they didn’t bother with the Sony Ericsson Satio for two reasons – first the Pixon in previous sets has already beaten the Sony Ericsson Satio and secondly, the lack of wide angle in the Satio would make it more obvious. This comparison of the 12MP shooters, N8, Pixon 12 and Satio comes via vnvas  from data.bg. Nokia N8 followed by Pixon 12 and finally the Satio.

Gallery: Nokia N8 versus Samsung Galaxy S shootout.

Axel from blog-n8.fr compares his Nokia N8 with his Samsung Galaxy S (GT i9000). The difference is most astonishing, especially in low light the N8 shows that this is not merely any old camera phone. Look how much that bigger sensor helps the N8 capture photos in low light conditions (non flash assisted as flash would be ineffective at these distances) Axel notes time and time again the colour accuracy of the N8 (always the first pic in this post) compared to the Galaxy S

Gallery: Quick 5MP Sample images from the Nokia X3-02 – excellent in good lighting…

The Nokia X3-02 Touch and Type has a fixed focus 5mp camera (no flash). I haven’t had a chance to properly test out the camera – these shots were mostly taken on the move (hence I’ve added to the blurring). Pictures are captured with the camera button on the touch screen.

Video: U2 concert recorded with the Nokia N8

A while back we saw the N8 record in crystal clarity a Rihanna concert. Here’s the N8 again in a U2 concernt in Rome. Again, one of the overlooked features of video cameras is audio – and Nokia N8 has the best in ANY mobile phone right now and in several dedicated camera/compact video cam solutions. Further more, it’s one of the rare breeds that actually record in TRUE stereo

Jan van der Meer’s Nokia N8 Macro and accessory tips!

Jan van der Meer is the ultimate camera buff and in these series of videos, he’s been using (what any self respecting camera buff should own :p) a Nokia N8. He’s got some great tips for us such as the new Joby Gorillapod (Every human with a camera/camphone NEEDS a gorillapod) with an arm for smooth swivelling/tilting. In this video, Jan uses a macro lens on the N8. The results are great. Now we’ve seen from topolino70 how even simpler than this (with a magnifying glass) you can achieve some absolutely breathtaking close up videos with the N8.

720p Video: Very weird unboxing (smashing) of the Nokia N8 – filmed by the Nokia N8

As “UNBOXINGS” go, this is one of the weirdest ones I’ve ever seen. But hey, kudos to N8 for inspiring even crazy people to unbox it on camera and later getting them decent any time/anywhere HD cams to share their craziness world wide. The guy, aptly named Mr Tard Mo has uploaded a couple of vids shot by his new N8 which he’s gone (even more) crazy for

Video: Nokia N8 vs Acer Liquid A1 AMOLED vs TFT LCD

Here’s a video by MForumRu showing the Nokia N8′s AMOLED display against the Acer Liquid A1′s TFT LCD. On a side note – those animations on the Acer Android phone are looking really awesome – the reorganizing photo viewer is quite nice than a simple “bang” i’m rotated.

Video: An American kid’s thoughts on the Nokia N8

An American Kid’s thoughts on the Nokia N8. Flicking through YouTube I came across what was supposedly a “review” of the N8 by this kid, “ ObviouslyAwsome “ . Well first it’s not a review, more a reel of thoughts on the N8 itself.

Video Demo: Nokia Panorama on the Nokia N8

Last week we saw that Nokia Panorama was available on the Ovi Store for the Nokia N8 . Below is a video demo shot by nuuneoi from showing “Nokia Panorama” in action. Apps like Morpho Panorama use “sweep” – possibly the easiest method where you just sweep from left to right with no pausing or thought as to whether your picture is aligned – much like taking a video. Samples this way though may suffer from different light exposures, and quality may suffer

Videos: PhoneArena’s 2 Part review of the Nokia N8 – a good phone? Of course it is, we’d even go so far to say it’s a GR8 phone

PhoneArena reviews the N8 wondering if it lives up to all the hype. Design wise, N8 feels extremely solid – good weighting behind it. Flat top and bottom edge – we were dubious at first but it really helps when picking up the handset

Nokia N8 hands-on

the Delhi event for the Nokia N8, CJ from www.zomgitscj.com and Vaibhav Sharma from www.thehandheldblog.com managed to scoop a bit of hands-on time with the N8. It was their use and impressions based on having little to no prior experience with the device so the views are as raw as they get. Regardless it should give a decent insight into the speed and responsiveness of the phone & UI on the N8. They managed to record around 25 minutes of time with the device and part 1 is available  below. Part 2 should be up later so keep a look out for an update to this post.

Nokia Ireland shows bank of Ireland App

I visit the Ovi App store at least once a day ( I know call me sad) but I have noticed that in the last few months I have noticed here has been an increase in the number of useful apps on the Ovi store and I am happy about that, and that should increase with Qt and the powerful N8 coming. via zomgitscj.com
