We’ve seen many gold-platted high-end cell phones with diamonds encrusted, from different designers including Amosu, Goldstriker, GoldVish and Vertu. All are stunning! Now I want to present you the latest Athem diamond mobile phone release, a limited edition of diamond encrusted Nokia 8800 Sapphire Arte model, but first, a brief information about the designers.

Remade is an interesting concept and now let’s see what the new Nokia cell phone concept is all about. It’s called Nokia Eco Sensor and it’s all a green design. It works together with a sensing device companion and it allows the users of such handhelds to share environmental information collected by the phone.



The sensor is wearable on the neck or wrist and can observe the environment changes, your health, as well as local weather conditions, while with the cell phone connects to it via the Near Field Communication technology using touch input.
Eco Sensor is customizable with green tools so you can choose between a heart-rate monitor, motion detector for walking, and others.
It could analyze the gas level in the air, ultraviolet radiation, noise level, air pressure, humidity level and temperature.

What would a green phone be made of? It would include printed electronics like conductive inks on plastic, polyactic acid plastics with plant modifiers, elastomers, and recycled steel for the entire casing.



Eco Sensor would be powered by solar energy, heat energy from the user’s arm or kinetic, as much as it needs because the sensing device could be self-powered eliminating the need for external sources.
For the display Nokia could use electrowetting, a next-generation technology consisting of applying electrical voltage to tiny drops of oil, which leads to the expanding and contracting of droplets, so the display will turn On or Off, similar with the pixel lighting process.

Nokia designers and researchers teams try to stimulate the industry to produce environmental-friendly devices and the Eco Sensor is just an example of what green design could become.

The cell phone brand known for the best camera phones is Sony Ericsson, because even the 1.3MP models can capture sharp pictures with vivid colors as well as record high-quality videos. That’s why, if I want to talk about the Nokia phone camera models, I should enumerate first the 5MP-capable cell phones. I had the chance to make pictures with a 2MP Nokia but I have to say that I was a bit disappointed, after comparing it to a 1.3MP Sony Ericsson camera phone.
There is a cell phone from Nokia, though, that got all of us attention after it was considered to be the best camera phone. Nokia N82 received this year the Best Mobile Imaging Device in Europe Award from the Technical Image Press Association because it is “a compact multimedia computer that integrates GPS, web, video and music functions around a 5 Megapixel camera with a high-speed, f/2.8 autofocus lens. This Carl Zeiss Tessar focuses from 10cm to infinity and produces sharp prints up to and beyond A4 size. Several scene modes are also available to optimize the Nokia N82 for great images, whether shooting portraits or night shots. Other Nokia N82 features highlighted by the jurors are the Xenon flash and 20X digital zoom."

The N82 is one of the Nokia phone camera models I want to tell you about today and because of this award I will start with it and continue with all the other 5MP phones prepared for the United States and the United Kingdom.
Nokia N82 is available at a price of $564 and sports a 2.4-inch large TFT LCD display with 240 x 320 pixel resolution and 16.7 million colors, on which you can browse through all the pictures taken with the 2592 x 1944-pixel camera or the MPEG-4 videos recorded at 30 frames per second while on the go.

Other features related to the camera functionality include direct connectivity with TVs via the TV out or wireless LAN/ UPnP, a secondary front CIF camera of 352 x 288 pixels, picture slideshow, photos/videos upload on web sites, and Nokia XpressPrint that allows you to print your creations using the PictBridge technology, Bluetooth, WLAN and online printing.
You can record videos of up to 640 x 480-pixel resolution, keeping an eye on the recording indicator, and you shouldn’t get blurry results as there is also a video stabilizer meant to eliminate this problem. Other things you can play with include effects such as white balance, scene and color tone settings, 10x digital zooming, video editing, 20x digital zooming for pictures, photo editing, picture settings like automatic, sunny, cloudy, incandescent and fluorescent, as well as color tones like normal, sepia, black & white, negative and vivid, or scene settings such as automatic, user, close-up, portrait, landscape, sports, night and night portrait.

Camera specifications are: CMOS sensor, F number/Aperture of F2.8, 5.6 mm focal length, 10cm to infinity focus range, and 10-50 cm macro focus distance.

Nokia N82 works on WCDMA2100 (HSDPA), EGSM900 and GSM850/1800/1900 MHz (EGPRS) with automatic switching between bands and modes. It integrates 100MB shared memory, hot swappable microSD card slot, the 1050mAH battery for 4.3 hours of talk time, and runs on the Symbian OS with S60 software. It also lets you see the images wider using the automatic screen rotation, make voice commands, send emails, listen to the music or stereo FM radio, watch videos, use A-GPS or Nokia Maps, browse full pages via HTML, and lots of other cool stuff via a 0.68-mm thick handset.

There are 3 more 5MP Nokia phone camera models available in Europe and 1 prepared for the release later this summer. The latter I am referring at is the Nokia N96.
Nokia N95 and Nokia N95 8GB differ in the following aspects:

N95 8GB provides up to 5 hours of talk time in GSM while the battery life shortens in WCDMA reaching 3.5, the N95 providing maximum 3.5 hours. The standby time is of 280 hours at N95 8GB and 215 hours at the N95, while the internal memory of the N95 is of just 160MB, shared between the applications and not upgradeable. N95 8GB features microSD card slot to let you add 2GB more besides the 8GB already provided. The camera built in the N95 does not support autofocus and flash, while N95 8GB has even 20x digital zooming.
Now let’s see what the common features of the two models are!
They both have the same slider-style design with landscape capture and measure 99 x 53 x 21 mm at around 125 grams.
The screen resolution is of 240 x 320 pixels with 16 million color capability, and they both work on WCDMA HSDPA 2100, EGSM850/900/1800/1900 MHz bands.
