  One of the real lesser used features of a mid to top end mobile phone is the GPS capabilities . It is rare that in a buying decision that the availability of GPS is given any consideration, of the additional features a mobile phone can offer, I’d suggest the two most often considered features are email capability and quality of camera. Then there are the media capabilities, generally music then video, followed by suitability for web browsing. GPS tends to rank after all these considerations, if it ranks at all. This could be set to change though, in the light of the recent announcement by Google regarding voice navigation on their Maps product

….well at least in comparison to S60V5. A month ago, Symbian’s CEO gave a rather vague presentation on the new Symbian UI . On Thursday, Engadget posted up a sneak preview of the upcoming Symbian UI which no longer resembles the murky confusion that is S60. With the new Symbian UI users will have: Reduced clutter Improved input methods Capacitive Screen (death to resistive on high end!) Multitouch Pinch and Zoom Single touch improved (less taps to get to places- would be fantastic if we can get to everything with 3 taps or under) Better website compatibility, Quicker flash UI will be faster – 3x faster than our high end (which one, N97 or N900?) Scrolling will be 60FPS vs current 15fps Optimized graphics – more responsive, beautiful Drastically reduce complexity and bring new fresh appeal – when Nokia does, many people will take a new look at Symbian to achieve what no other manufacturer can.

Graphics wise , whatever glitzy eye candy game you can show off on the iPhone, the N900 can do it too. Bounce Evolution was the first 3D game shown on the N900 and everyone was stunned at how good it looked (and it’s on a Nokia!). I loved Bounce on my 7210 – kept me busy for ages – I’d never have thought that it would ever look as good as this

One week on with the N900. Although I’ve reviewed and given a first impressions of the N900 in September , that was based on very short weekend usage. Here’s just over a week (received N900 last Wednesday) on what I’ve found so far. It was only meant to be a short number of things that I loved about the N900 but one thing kept popping up after another

Low Light photo, Flash off Let’s compare the fourth photo with the N82 which sports a Xenon Flash. This was actually not that good for N82, most other photos are solid clear – but on every occasion, the undisputed king of low light has about 99% success rate of sharp, well lit photos, frozen in time. Related posting plans ahead: Within a week, I’ll be posting another N82 vs N900 low light (on lock down this week to revise for Friday exam so may post on Sunday) I’ll also be uploading the rest of the photos from London in the N900 Photo sample part 2.

I was destined to meet up with my comfy pillow and duvet but just as I was about to climb under the quilt, I noticed the package that must have been received yesterday (Saturday). It was a big jiffy bag. I thought it may have been something I ordered from eBay. It turns out to be a memory stick from WOMWorld: [note: Photos taken by Nokia N900] What was on the memory stick?

Just got back from London, and after an extremely eventful weekend I am minutes from crashing into my bed for a well deserved snooze fest. I’ll leave you with a quick camera/video sample at Covent Garden of a group called “Fandango”, just to demonstrate the video recording quality/audio quality as well as photo quality when using the N900 as a simple point and shoot (as opposed to rigorously testing out the camera with specified fields). I was actually just trying to take a photo of the Christmas Decor, and when I moved to get a better view I saw and heard this great, fun and lively classical group playing to a huge audience. Although I do miss the xenon flash and extensive camera settings of previous Nseries devices, I do love the redefined camera menu that’s just so simple to use. Switching between macro/auto/landscape and photo/video was as easy as it should have first appeared with S60 touch

Nokia N900 – Can you do the Fandango? Photo and Video Samples – London – Part 1

Hey it’s Friday! I was just about to leave to catch a train (going home-home first then London for the weekend) but thought that I couldn’t let the weekend go by without a blog post. This is just an absolute quicky showing off the N900’s autofocus video. Unlike the N97 or other Nseries that are stuck to a fixed zoom point (N97 horribly set to infinity, so anything closer than, um 1 mile is blurry), with the N900, the subject can be very far away, within a few cm and the infinite degrees in between. This was literally all shot, edited in  2 minutes.

Here are some shots of the N900 with some current high end phones. In Alphabetical Order: Apple iPhone BlackBerry Bold/Storm 2, Nokia N97 Mini/N86/5800/E71, Palm Pre, Samsung i8910/Omnia II, Sony Ericsson Satio/Aino and Toshiba TG01 Initially the intention was to give a jist of the size of the N900. But since I was snapping away in phone retail stores, I didn’t get appropriate angle shots so you can see how easy it is to be deceived by comparison photos unless you see them flat, centre and horizontal with comparisons of [layered] length, width and thickness. www.sizeasy.com/ helps if you want to compare phone sizes and you’ve got their dimension.

This morning WOMWorld kindly sent over the Nokia N900! Much excitement aside, I won’t be writing much in this post; I’ll leave the video and photos to speak for themselves. Hopefully you’ll be on a broadband connection as there’s tons of live pics of the N900, the box contents as well as an unboxing video shot in HD. P.S. All photos captured by the Nokia N82 (Digicam way too memory hungry and it’s so much more  convenient to bluetooth pics over to my pc).

…The Nokia N900 has arrived at my house. Well maybe. I haven’t opened the DHL bag yet and won’t open it until I get home after lectures. I want the first time the N900 box is opened to be on film, ha. It may possibly be that there’s just a box inside, maybe even a mixup and it’s not an N900, heaven forbid! I literally have seconds to go before I have to leave for “Muscle Development in Drosophila melanogaster 2″

Received this email half an hour ago. It didn’t actually sink in till I was halfway through cooking a shepherds pie [from scratch, not microwave] and I was like “um, an N900 is coming tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” email from WOMWorld ^_^ Happy Days ^_^ Let’s just hope I don’t miss this DHL delivery this time . I’ve got lectures/meetings during their normal delivery times again :’( If (IF!) I get it tomorrow, expect an unboxing video from youtube.com/mynokiablog and a bunch of N900 photos soon

Carphone Warehouse have once again suspended sales of a high end Symbian Smartphone – a few months ago, Nokia’s flagship N97 (well at least with O2, Orange and Vodafone still sell the N97 via CPW), now Sony Ericsson’s Satio. Why? Both from complaints about buggy software leading to inexorably high levels of returns that CPW (and now Phones4U with the Satio) would rather stop selling faulty phones than have to deal with repairs

At the onedotzero event, I remember trying to get the N900 to crash with low memory errors or slow down. I couldn’t. MySymbian proves this in the video below where the N900 is pushed to multitask all available apps. Where most others would have frozen, crashed or killed other applications to open a new one, the N900 juggles one new app after another without breaking into a sweat. Whilst on the move, being able to handle several tasks simultaneously and quickly switch to the application at hand should be part definition of Smartphone.

After an initially positive view of the N900 over at the Telegraph , Claudine and some guy (Alan Carr?) as supposed “Gadget Inspectors” take a look at the Nokia N900. To see the video, you’ll want to head over to the Telegraph. Some interesting points: Whilst Claudine isn’t a fan of the physical QWERTY keyboard + touch screen hybrid, the guy (what is his name? I’ll refer to him as ‘the guy’) likes them.

About a month ago, through a series of clues, some bloggers found out about maemoproject . You most likely have already seen the video below: Today I received an A2 poster from WOMWorld which is a screenshot of a scene in the video: 10:15:52:08. It would have gotten here 2 days ago except there were some delivery hitches (mostly my fault as I wasn’t home to pick it up) It’s not your bog-standard paper poster – it’s all plastic, laminated and quite thick.

Nokia today release three new CDMA phones, which are Nokia 6316s, Nokia 3806, and Nokia 1506, in Beijing, the capital city of China. These new Nokia phones are not as sexy looking as China’s Michael Jackson phone; in fact, they look very dull and old. However, Nokia seems like very confident that these new phones will sell in China, the electronics manufacturing hub for the world. “Nokia is boosting its leadership in the CDMA market by updating an already strong line-up with products that appeal to a wide range of customer needs,” said David Tang, Vice President of Nokia China. “Of these devices, the Nokia 6316s is bringing exciting 3G services to life for users in China,” added Mr Tang

This episode by Steve Litchfield reviews Nokia’s N97 mini. The mini is the baby brother of the original N97, (seemingly) created to rectify to abysmal mistakes when Nokia succumed yet again poor compromises which rendered the original N97 somewhat ever so frustrating in general day to day use. There are several positive notes that Steve makes, contrasting even the first Review of the mini by Mobile-Review’s Eldar and giving the keyboard a thumbs up.

Video Review: Nokia N97 Mini Review – The Phones Show – Episode 94

Nokia have released a couple of ads about getting to the “Good Things” using Ovi Maps. If you check it out, you’ll see some fancy holographic UI looking elements. It looks really cool! I know it’s merely there to just label and describe what’s happening but I’m actually finding it a little annoying to see this pretend “UI” looking so much better than the actual interface of the phone itself. How awesome would it be if Symbian looked any where close to that! Not so much the holographic part, but the animation, speed and appearance of the contextual information.
