The Nokia N93 is the ultimate media smartphone


The Nokia N93 is the ultimate media smartphone


I have a Nokia N90 smartphone that I actually use as my mobile digital camera and camcorder. While I think the device serves as an extremely good multimedia device, the lack of vibration mode keeps me from using it as a daily phone. I have had my eye on the Nokia N93 since it was announced and now that All About Symbian has the device in their hands I am even more excited about the device.The Nokia N93 is a flip phone similar to the N90 with a slightly different flip mode for landscape usage of applications other than just the camera and gallery. Specs of the N93 include a 3.2 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and even 3x optical zoom, GSM/EDGE/WCDMA, 802.11b/g WiFi, and Bluetooth 2.0 radios, standard miniSD storage card implementation and TV out functionality. All of this runs in Symbian OS 9.1 with the S60 3rd Edition software so you get all the great web browsing functionality and more. This baby has everything I could find in a S60 device, except for an integrated hard drive.BTW, I understand from reading forums that this has vibration mode so it looks like I’ll be on the hunt for this incredible device to replace the N90.

Nokia N95 is official


Nokia N95 is official

At the Nokia Open Studio 2006 in New York yesterday the N95 was officially announced. The specifications and features remain the same as we had pointed out yesterday. Here is a recap of the specs in case you missed them - The Nokia N95 will the company's most advanced and feature packed phone till date and will sport many firsts for Nokia like the 5 Megapixel Camera with Carl Zeiss optics and HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) which puts WCMA to the shame by offering data speeds of 1-2 Mbps which can scaled all the way to 10 Mbps. You can put up your PMP on Ebay if you are planning for the N95 as it comes with a 2.6" QVGA LCD with support for 16 million colors. Gaming will be fun with impressive 3D graphics and you wont runs out of games as there are plenty available for the Series 60 platform. The innovative 2-way slide concept makes it easy to switch between different modes, going from reading maps to watching a video with a simple slide. A numeric keypad slides out from one end of the device while dedicated media keys slide out from the opposite direction, converting the display into full screen landscape mode.

Nokia 7500 Prism mobile phone


Nokia 7500 Prism mobile phone


The Prism's diagonal keypad layout and design has been inspired by the infinite geometrical forms found in architectural surfaces. Apparently. We suspect the designer just likes Toblerone a lot. That aside, it does look rather fetching and, more to the point, it works. OK, it's no better than a keyboard designed with a slavish and exclusive devotion to ergonomics, but nor is it any the worse.One slight quibble is that neither the start- and end-call buttons, or the two soft-menu keys, are exactly were logic or custom would dictate them to be. Clearly, logic and custom didn't see eye to eye with geometric layout and got a slap.The 7500's other look-at-me feature is its 2in, 240 x 320, 16m-colour TFT display with an "organic desktop" and "event-driven themes", which is Nokia-speak for saying the screen glows in a cool and trippy manner.

Nokia 6230 Review


Nokia 6230 Review


Similar in many ways to the Nokia 6220, the 6230 is a business class phone that also includes features like an integrated digital camera, video recorder and a music player.Slightly larger and a touch heavier than the 6220, the Nokia 6230 brings a number of enhancements, not least being the active TFT colour display with 65,536 colours, compared with the measly 4096 colours of the 6220. However, the screen resolution is still relatively poor at 128 x 128 pixels.The quality of the camera has also been enhanced, with full VGA resolution up to 640 x 480 pixels. The camera is easy to use with the phone display used as a viewfinder, and includes useful features such as a self timer function, a choice of standard, portrait, and night modes and a choice of 3 image quality options: high, normal and basic. The video recorder has also been improved by extending the maximum duration of clips that can be recorded and played.Another welcome addition is the Bluetooth connectivity, which replaces the infrared connection of the 6220, and the faster EDGE connection.Overall the 6230 represents a significant improvement to the 6220 and is highly recommended, although it does suffer from a poor quality screen compared with other camera phones in this class.

Samsung Giorgio Armani Phone Video Preview


Samsung Giorgio Armani


Here is a video review on the Samsung Giorgio Armani mobile phone from PhoneArena. It features a 2.6-inch LCD touchscreen, a 3 Megapixel camera, integrated media player, Bluetooth and a microSD card slot.PhoneArena’s Comments:While there are some drawbacks functionality-wise, the phone still offers more than most of its owners would require. Considering the audience it is targeted to, just as the PRADA, it has decent (and better compared with the Prada) features, with major drawback being the tri-band GSM receiver, which doesn. allow for using it all over the world.Watch the video after the jump:
