Nokia N8

Nokia N8

Nokia has made a leap into the touch market with the N8. How does it do? Well its way off compared to iPhone or HTC’s but i’d actually not compared them. Nokia uses Symbian 3, which iPhone and HTC don’t, hence its going to function differently. By this I don’t mean quality wise, its a good phone no doubt, but the flexibility that one gets from on iPhone or an HTC is greater compared to the Nokia. While the only thing that Symbian does is copy and paste the same template (that includes icon designs and layout) and then just add a touch screen integration.
That’s not a very impressive start. What they should have done is carry out an overhaul, but besides the the little changes in layout, the Nokia just feels like the same old Nokia. A couple of good things is that this is sold separately as an unlocked phone, hence perfect for the frequent traveler. Its got a 12 megapixel camera from which you shoot a movie, no problems there. The touch screen is responsive, the outer casing is sturdy and well made, it has a micro HDMI port (which includes the adapter in the package). It also has the usual mobile broadband and sat nav (for 70 countries -paid subscription) as well as the OVI store (which is updating its store quite frequently with cool stuff).
I liked the phone but Nokia is like a Porsche, all they do make the car faster but they all look the same, no doubt their built well but comeon already, your customers need something new.

World in your pocket

World in your pocket

It never ceases to amaze me how much mobile phone technology has moved on in the short time that it has been commonplace to see guys on the street with a handset glue to their ears. They started off brick-sized, only able to make calls and only then when you were a few centimeters away from the very basic mobile phone masts!
Time moved on a little and the concept of playing games on your handset arrived. OK, at first it was just that ridiculously addictive ’Snake” or maybe a free solitaire game, but now mobiles are practically mini games consoles - and the downloadable games business means big money for developers and mobile phone companies. Just think about ’Angry Birds’, the iPhone game sensation. Not only are they now developing a version for the big boy consoles, but there are even plans to make a feature-length cartoon movie starring the characters!! All from a mobile phone game…
About the same time that ’Snake'burst - well, crawled - onto the scene, another revolutionary change was happening to our mobile phones, the way we communicate and, in fact, our society as a whole. Hands up if you can’t remember how we ever got anything done or managed to meet up with any friends before texting came along? It is such an integral part of all of our daily routines that it is difficult to remember life BT (Before Texting) and even more hard to imagine how it will ever be replaced in the AT (After Texting) age. Perhaps a day will come when voice recognition software will have advanced enough that we can spare our aching thumbs. Or, my personal dream, a kinetic communication device that uses your brain waves to send messages to others depending on how you think. Fair enough, we’re a long way off that at the moment, but I managed to make a ping pong ball move with my brain at the Glasgow Science Museum, so anything could be possible!
