Nokia n900, the new business / multimedia phone of the Finnish producer comes with a lot of issues worthy of appreciation and a brand new operating system, Maemo. Expectations are high from the Nokia N900. So were for the other ends of the range of the N in their day, the latest Nokia N96 and Nokia N97, but hopefully this time they will not be disappointing. Because I do not think Nokia allows too many failures. But the new toys, this phone's Booklet 3G and the netbooks seem promising.
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
But for starters let's take a quick look at the specifications:
Dimensions: 110.9 × 59.8 × 18 mm, 113 g
Operating System: Linux Maemo
Hardware: ARM Cortex-A8 processor 600 MHz, 256 MB RAM and 768 MB virtual memory (1 GB of total memory available for applications)
32 MB of storage + microSD card support up to 16 GB
Screen 3.5 inch touch panel, resistive, with resolution of 800 x 480 pixels
System slider QWERTY keyboard
Leading connectivity: Wi-Fi, 3G, Bluetooth, GPS
5 MPX camera
1320 mAh battery.

And I could go pretty much with the list of specifications for this phone that just seems to have it all. In addition, the picture seems to show damn good, with a matte black finish and stylish. It is not a tiny phone but anyway N900 is not a phone to be kept in the pocket. Perhaps more interesting than waiting for the phone is in this case waiting for the operating system Maemo based on Linux. It is expected to be reliable and fast, come with a simple interface but good looking, plus its own variant of media players and Web browser (based on the browser behind Mozilla Firefox). In addition, unlike older Symbian will support widgets and custom add-on’s.

So all seem to be aligned in the right direction for Nokia N900: Specifications, appearance, the software and even the price, because Nokia has announced that their new toy will not exceed the threshold of 500 euro. A decent price for such a device as it stands in the same range with 3GS iPhone or HTC's Touch HD.

Overall, the impression made by n 900 is positive, the market needs something new, different, and Nokia brings new things. Unfortunately Maemo platform is still in its infancy, and this is shown by the lack of dedicated software for N900. You have from the beginning the social gadgets for weather, RSS and about all that is important, but if you want to customize N900 in the smallest details you will hit poor settings and the lack of applications, but maybe the problem will be solved by Nokia in the months to come.

The biggest problem that nokia n900 has it is that despite the phone functions we deal in fact with a smaller MID, a micro-laptop, but not any phone, given the interface (which is now only in landscape mode) and the general size that is "generous". But I must admit that Nokia has done a great job in the construction of N900, which is a gadget with an impeccable and clean design without additional lines and visual shell buttons to burden it.

Nokia is a Finnish mobile telecommunications company and is the world's biggest maker of mobile phones. Headquarters are in Espoo, near Helsinki, Finland, having multiple locations for research and production on several continents. The main factories are located at Salo, Finland, Dongguan, China, Chennai, India, Komárom Hungary and Ruhr, Germany.

Nokia N81 is part of the mobile phones nokia. It is made in the slide format and is available in two color options: black, with the contour and the multi-faceted key grey or blue. Weight - that's what you feel when you first get your Nokia N81in your hand. The manufacturer says that the phone weights approximately 140 g, but it seems that it has more. Equipped with two stereo speakers, 2 megapixels camera with flash and having broad media possibilities, Nokia N81 could like primarily to the youth.
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
The sliding mechanism of the Nokia N81 is equipped with auto shut down, but on a free opening it produces a noise that is somewhat inappropriate. The same thing happens at closing, it has a lack of finesse. Since the mechanical  shocks are not recommended in electronics, instinctively it is forms a desire to support the sliding half to avoid causing any problems to the phone.

At the top of the Nokia N81 are located three elements. On the right side is the button for power on/off of the phone, which can be pressed with your little finger, the other fingers are too big for it. In the middle of this plan is the audio output of 3.5 mm for standard headphones and in the left side a slider key that blocks or unlocks the keypad. At the top of the side walls is one speaker covered with a dense mesh, forming the stereo system. In the center of the left side wall is the micro SD memory card slot, and at the corner it has a tiny hole for hanging accessories.

On the down side in the middle of the phone there is the place where you can put your charger o a USB cable. In the right side is the microphone hole. Below the speaker on the right side there is the dual volume control key and the button for the digital camera.



The control buttons from the Nokia N81 slider are mechanical but there still is a integrated sensory reception system. The control buttons for the music player at a first glance don't differ in any way then the others – they also need to be pushed until you hear a 'click' but it remains only a functional element for the user to get feedback , because when you are pushing, a sensor reacts. Speaking of player, it recognizes a number of files: MP3 (VBR), AAC, eAAC +, AAC +, WMA/M4A, and supports WAV OMA DRM 1.x, 2.0, Windows Media DRM (OTI / OTA from Nokia Music Store).

The alphanumeric keypad is made from a plate full of shiny black plastic on which there are applied white symbols. Keyboard illumination is also white. The gloss on the keyboard and on the phones surface gathers the user's fingerprints, but, even so, these doesn't eclipses the gloss of the phone and that's why the big number of fingerprints does not irritate in any way.



The rectangle located above the screen is not wearing a decorative character but a functional one. Under it there are hidden two keys for games that would have remained unnoticed unless there were illuminated. Nokia N81 mobile phone is equipped with a 2MP digital camera with 1600 x 1200 pixels with flash. The digital zoom of 20X can be used with the help of the double of the dual volume key. Above the display is located the secondary CIF camera. With Nokia Xpress Print technology photos or files can be printed directly via USB (Pict Bridge) or Bluetooth connectivity (BPP).

With the N81 you can film in a MPEG-4 format with a resolution of 640 x 480 at a speed of 15 frames per second. Regarding the formats that are recognized by the video player, these are: MPEG-4, H.264, H.263/3GPP and Real Video 8/ 9/ 10. Nokia N 81 battery is sufficient for 4.5 hours of QVGA video playback, 5 hours of photos visualization and 3.5 hours of QVGA video shooting scheme. The Nokia N81 works under Symbian OS with S60 interface release version III. I can mention the presence of WLAN IEEE802.11 b / g with UPnP support, Bluetooth 2.0 that supports profiles like DUN, OPP, FTP, HFP, GOEP, GAP, SPP, HSP, BIP, A2DP, and also supports the MTP, UPnP, TCP / IP, Java MIDP 2.0, CLDC 1.1 and Flash Light 2.0.



Nokia N81 mobile phone is equipped with a battery model BP - 6MT Li-Pol with a capacity of 1050 mAh. For the call procedure, the Nokia N81 has a range of 240 minutes and on stand by the device may have up to 17 days. Nokia N81 mobile phone set includes a micro SD memory card of 2 GB Nokia, the Nokia Stereo Headset HS - 45 with control on its wire AD - 54, the model CA - 101 USB cable and a micro SD-SD adaptor.

If you will try to examine this phone, you will see it is fun, being a phone N-Gage. N81 is worth to be in the N series, trough the usefulness of its Symbian system, all the technical capabilities that was provided and not least the 2.4 screen. But even so, the Nokia N81 is a phone dedicated to the games from the Nseries, occupying a niche place, that's why so many could be tempted by its technical possibilities, but they might change their mind due to the design that is suitable to youth.



If we take a look to the price of this phone, we can see that currently is cheaper with approximately 55 USD than the N95 - 1. But let us not forget what the N95-1 provides. Lets mention only some few advantages like the larger screen of 2.6 inches, a built-in GPS, and the compatibility with the N-Gage games. Each will have its request to the independent analysis of the Nokia N81 or other models in the Nseries.
If you are not attracted by high technology, it is better to stay away from this phone, but if the functions related to music and games make you smile, then you will love N81. From all mobile phones nokia this is an excellent alternative the N95.

Probably few were those who found on the box of the N95 nokia smart phone that the full name of this model is N95-1. That's why on the box of Nokia N95 with 8 Giga Bytes is written N95-2 and on box of the American version, the N95 8 GB NAM, is written N95-3. This shows that Nokia wanted from the beginning to launch other versions of N95, when people were just amazed by its revolutionary capacities and they were making such statements as Nokia N95 - what computers have become.
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
At a fugitive look though the window of a store, Nokia N95 8GB would appear identical as its predecessor n 95, excepting the black color. But closing up and examining it better, the differences become apparent, first of all, the screen is visible larger ( 2.8 inches in contradistinction to 2.6 inches of the N95), the upper half is entirely covering the bottom one and on the back it has the digital camera without protection. We can also note the lack of a microSD slot, and the difference in terms of internal memory volume (8GB and 160 Mb).

Nokia N95 8 GB is operated by Symbian 9.2 and the system interface uses Series 60, the third edition with Feature Pack 1. A function that is not usually seen at Symbian below 9.3, is present in N95 - 2, the demand paging function, which is summarized by the fact that only the most important elements of a program are left in RAM, the rest being stored in phones memory and are loaded into RAM only when necessary. This function saves the use of RAM while using battery. RAM volume has been increased from 64 MB (N95-1) to 128 MB for N 95-2. This contributes to a better performance and the lack of messages such as "Memory Full" which is not characteristic for the N95 8GB - to use all the memory is practically impossible no matter how hard you try.

The active menu on the working table is certainly present on this phone to. It allows the convenient organization of your favorite applications directly on the workbench, allowing even shortcuts to web pages.



The main menu of the Nokia N95 8 GB knows only two types of organization, the traditional 3 x 4 matrix, and the usual list. It is also possible to choose for the icons to be animated or not. Navigating from one element to another can be done easily, as well as changing the image on the screen in vertical arrangement or in a horizontal arrangement. This occurs without any transition, the screen gets black for one second and then appears in that position. As pre-installed themes there are four in number at the Nseries. All are quite nice, but any other preferences are left to the user who can download a large amount of available themes on the internet.

An item that attracts attention is the multimedia menu that can be accessed by pressing that dedicated button that provides easy access to all multimedia capabilities of the phone. All options are organized in vertical categories marked with an suggestive icon just like in the case of N81. Selecting a category, the options are arranged in a horizontal list. If you don't like the arrange of the categories, you can change it after your own wish.



With regarding to voice and call quality, as we expected, everything is high. There are no foreign interference or disturbing sounds that could affect users call, the sound is clear and clean. Equally good is the sound of the ringtones and the vibration intensity- it is impossible for a normal person to lose a call or message if he has his phone close to him. Speaking of sound, like any other Symbian, Nokia N95 8Gb is equipped with a voice recognition program. Its function is clear and it works remarkable, recognizing all the voice commands. Nokia N95 8GB also has a document viewer that can open Word, Excel and PDF. Editing files is not possible with this application, but you can purchase the full version from the Nokia Download center.

For gamers, is presented the N-Gage application that comes with two demo games including Asphalt 3 Street Rules. Those who have nostalgia after the old N95 games, you can download them for free trough this platform. This phone really has many possibilities regarding the games, because of its technical specifications.



The N95 Nokia has a built-in GPS module. We do not know exactly what chip was used, but there is something of the SiRF Star II- which allows for better performance and the third version of this chip would be more appropriate for a top phone. Even so, this chip is fully capable to finish with the requirements of a regular user. The main drawback is the time of heating, when switched on the GPS, it takes some time to set the initial position, especially if you are in a moving car. Once set, the Nokia N 95 uses Nokia Maps, which is one of the GPS applications that provide the most detailed maps.

We must not forget that the FM radio is scanning frequencies with a good broadcasting, saving them automatically. Also there are downloadable radio stations frequencies on the Internet with names of the radio stations to. RDS is missing here, but this is not a vital element, it's a optional one. The images gallery is as impressive as in the case of N81, the pictures are arranged in 3D. “Browsing” the pictures on this phone is such a pleasant experience.

Regarding the users who are thinking to buy this model for the first time, then it will be a decision that they won't regret it later. Nokia N95 8GB phone is really a "all in one" and if you don't mind the lack of the protection for the digital camera system, then is definitely the phone that will let you use the most modern innovations of mobile telephony and an excellent digital camera plus a huge space for all multimedia content that you want.

Smartphone Nokia 5800 Xpress Music, earlier known as Nokia Tube, has attracted the attention for a long time and it deserved it. It intensified after the announcement that was made in the whole world by the company for this phone at the early October 2008. Public interest was fed regularly: the company presented this phone as a "Black Night", they announced that sales will begin only in some selected regions. Perhaps Nokia 5800 can claim the title of the most expected phone of the year 2008.
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
First of all I have to say that this phone has a sensory screen. Even if there were some phones made by Nokia that had a sensory screen, for example 7700 or 7710, none of these devices were for the general public, these phones were some of the niche models. Therefore, Nokia 5800 Xpress Music is the first Nokia with sensory screen for a high number of people and a large sales volume. We may also recall that this phone was the first Symbian device with a matrix that was sensible to touch, and that meant a new era in the history of the platform.

Nokia has chosen to put this smartphone in the Xpress Music series, highlighting in this way its multimedia character and also leaving some place in the N series for a model with touch screen. The main (and only) material used in this phone body is plastic. The front side is made of shiny black plastic the contour and the sides are made of semi transparent plastic in a dark shade and the rear is the same as the plum color like the N73. At the junction of the rear side surface with the lateral sides is inserted a strip of flashy color (the standard set for the Xpress Music - red and blue). A certain passing between the color is missing, and also any combination between them, fact that you can observe in the day light.

Nokia 5800 Xpress Music proportions correspond entirely to the accepted widely standard, but the phone is not excessively wide. This is a good part, the device sits comfortable in your hand and you can manage it with one hand also (no need to worry if the phone will fit in a narrower pocket).



At the top part of the phone were placed the main connection of the phone (charger, standard headphones, USB) and the power button. In the left side of the phone you will find the slots for memory and SIM card ( SIM card removal is possible only by pushing it with the stylus trough a particular hole located under the battery). In the right side is situated a double key of the volume control, the lock slide button and digital camera button. Renouncing at any functional or contextual keys, Nokia has focused the essence of the management on the sensuous desktop. The image quality is high, the resolution of 640 x 320 pixels at a diagonal of 3.2 inches is noticed. Book light is sufficient to combat the direct sunrays, the view angles are large, colors are natural.

Its display uses a 16:9 ratio of the parties, which is reflected positively on viewing the media files. When viewing video, there are no black stripes at the screen edges, to view pictures also covers most of the screen, the free left space can dealt with virtual keys.



For a comfortable use, the manufacturer has provided a stylus, which lies in a part of the phone. It has rounded angles and is quite thin, so people with thicker fingers may face some difficulties. As an alternative to the traditional stylus, they propose a "mediator". If it is attach to the phone with a braid, then it becomes like a manufacturer's label.

For the energy economy and to prevent unwanted presses, near to the phone speaker was located a particular approach sensor : when you put your phone to your ear, the screen automatically switches off and gets locked. This lock is automatically canceled, is enough to remove the phone from the ear, that's why the control problems do not occur during conversations.

As already noted, the Nokia 5800 Xpress Music is based on the new Symbian version - 9.4. Those accustomed to the platform of the earlier editions will notice that there are some changes in the interface. And indeed, icons and virtual buttons increased, and there can not be wrong presses. Only one theme is installed. It is combined with the colors of the phone, a standard thing for the Xpress Music series.



Nokia has used again components that were used in the previous smartphone - ARM processor frequency of 369 MHz. The decision to leave these technical components is somehow daring: sometimes the phone is blocked, these moments are observed while you play a game or watch a video (2-3 breaks per minute). The systematic restarts doesn't always help. This was a problem of this phone - at the 10.0.4. software there were no such problems. The Bluetooth 2.0 module that is installed, allows receiving and sending data at a speed of around 110 - 140 kbps. Wi-Fi module sets available networks quite workable, after establishing the connection there are no disconnections. Starting and stopping the module occurs automatically: WLAN it's included only when searching a new network, which saves phone battery.

We must understand that the 5800 Xpress Music is aimed at listening to music and watching movies not only by the owner if the phone. That's why it has included in the phones box a special support which makes more comfortable watching a movie by more the one person at the same time. An important aspect of media functions became the synchronization with the Internet. This is manifested through podcasts and video channels in the phone, and by adding links to online stores, and by the opportunity to upload their own videos on Ovi.



The battery has the capacity of 1320 mAh and guarantees about two days of work. It is a worthy outcome, if we think about the large display.
