07052008370-800x600 N96 and N78 hands-on overview

I finally managed to get my hands-on these fabulous devices and ask few questions on this and that. I’ve compared the N96, N78, N82 black, N95 8GB, and the N81 8GB. It took some effort to present the differences, and I managed to get everyone staring at me like I was a maniac. In any case, please do present your comments, and predictions on what you think these devices will turn out to be, and of course, if you will buy one!

Nokia 8800 Arte review

[Review conducted on behalf of MyADSL]

Since the introduction of mobile phones, manufacturers have strived to include more features to make the devices more powerful. Thanks to latest technologies such as nanotechnology, fabricators are given the possibility to customize the size of components, therefore creating diverse visuals, and different form factors. This is where style comes into play for mobile phones.

USB data transfer test: N95 8GB vs 8800 Arte

Written by Meraj Chhaya on April 12, 2008 – 4:33 pm

10042008276 USB data transfer test: N95 8GB vs 8800 Arte

Well I could have named this test S60 vs S40, or NSeries vs Extreme-luxury phone, but I think that both phones have different qualities, and therefore the results will be different.

The N95 8GB uses a miniUSB connector to USB, and obviously has a 8GB flash memory, and no memory card slot. The 8800 Arte uses a microUSB connector to USB, and this port is also used for charging. The phone has 1GB flash memory and no memory card slot.

5 Megapixel cameraphone comparison

Written by Meraj Chhaya on January 23, 2008 – 2:48 pm

I couldn’t help but post the great comparison that the guys from phonearena.com did from 6 different 5 megapixel camera phones.

They tried every single situation and mode possible to reach the final results.

They involved the Nokia N95 8GB, Nokia N82, Sony Ericsson K850i, LG Viewty, Samsung G800 and Samsung G600.

 5 Megapixel cameraphone comparison

I will only post the final results below, the full review you can find it here.

In each of the categories we gave all six phones a different rating. The first place brings 6 points, 5 points for the second place, 4 points for third etc.

1. N82: With very good performance during the day, the best in night scenes, and excellent flash performance, the N82 is the winner in our competition for 5-megapixel cameraphones. Additionally it also has a very good macro mode!

2. G600: Although it has smaller model number than the G800, the G600 is the best phone for shooting during the day and has a good overall image quality.

3. K850: While we are not really fans of the Sony Ericsson phone, its overall quality is good, compared to the competition.

4. N95 8GB: The N95 is good during the day, but it’s ridiculous that it turns the focus off in night mode, and the LED flash performs poorly.

5. G800: The G800 is very good during the day as well, also with optical zoom, but its overall performance doesn’t place it in the winners’ circle.

6. Viewty: Although the LG Viewty has lots of options and features, its camera quality is mediocre next to the competition.

Miscellaneous:

Although it does not influence the quality of the pictures directly, the operational time of the camera is rather important for its use.
