Nokia recently announced a new wave of handsets and among those announced was the Nokia N8. We’ve finally managed to get our hands on a new N8 to review and I’m starting here, as we always do, with the unboxing video.
The Nokia N8 is the first Symbian3 handset that we’ve looked at so I am looking forward to trying it out, comparing it to earlier versions of Symbian (I’m still using my C6) and also to other handsets that we have in reviewing at the moment. I think this must also be the first Nokia handset to have a built-in, non-user replacable battery. I guess it works for the iPhone but I wonder if this will be a point of contention for Nokia.
The N8 has a fab 12-megapixel camera with a proper xenon flash which is a real boon. Couple that with the capacitive AMOLED touchscreen this could be a winner.
Full review coming up over the next week or two but for now here’s the unbox and a brief demo.
The Garmin name is synonymous with GPS and satellite navigation and this new nuvifone M10 couples Asus’s phone expertise with Garmin’s proven GPS navigation technology. It should make for a formidable integrated navigation device.
Asus have crammed in a 3.5″ WVGA touchscreen which is ideal for displaying the detailed 3D maps, all of which comes pre-installed as part of the package. There’s 4GB of internal memory as well as a MicroSDHC memory card slot. The nuvifone M10 is also the first fully converged Location Based Services (LBS) smartphone with integrated GPS.
You get everything you need to use this device in-car too, a cradle and windscreen mount and car charger.
It seems a little odd to have another Windows Mobile 6.5.3 handset on the market though, especially with WP7 hitting the market this week. So to find out whether or not that all matters you’ll have to wait a week or two for the full review. For now you can check out the unboxing video below.
Now we know the latest version of Android is almost here, and how do I know. Well a giant gingerbread man has just arrived at Google’s headquarters is how. Google still hasn’t said a word about the new version of Android, codenamed Gingerbread, but the rumours floating around the internet are saying that Gingerbread will have better media support, speed improvements and a nicer UI. And I presume the arrival of the gingerbread man suggests that we will probably see an announcement of Android 3.0 within the next couple of weeks.
The giant gingerbread model is taking it’s place alongside the éclair, the cupcake, and cone of frozen yogurt. Check the video of the Gingerbread arriving below.
I am sure you saw our HTC 7 Mozart unboxing video earlier this week. In the video you would of heard me say that I was going to record a further demo video once I had become a little more familiar with the device and customized it a wee bit.
Well, I have done that now and the video is below. I am still no expert with Windows Phone 7 so please don’t call me a silly sausage but I hope this gives you a slightly better insight into the operating system.
See the video after the break:
This is the one that Android fans have been dying to get their hands on, the HTC Desire HD.
The 4.3 inch, 1GHz, Froyo bad boy of the Android world has had one or two delays with its launch but now that we have a review device this means the final ROM is complete and I would imagine that you will be able to get your own one real soon.
With a very similar shell to that of the HTC HD2 the Desire HD gives us that great big screen but with some added specs such as the 8 megapixel camera, 720P HD video recording and best of all Android 2.2. Many people said after the HD2 was released that they wished they could have it running Android. The Americans were first to get an Android device from HTC of this size – the EVO. Now it is our turn.
Let the Android wars commence.
Enjoy the unboxing video below.
The HTC 7 Mozart from Orange is the first Windows Phone 7 device to arrive at the tracyandmatt camp and what a pleasant surprise it was. Out of all the WP7 handsets I used last week at the launch the Mozart is the one I was looking forward too most, as I felt that if I was going to get one it would probably be this one. Size wise it is pretty much on par with my iPhone and it just feels good in the hand.
Enough of my views. Check out the unboxing video below and watch out for the full review in the next week or two.
If you have not seen the latest Windows Phone 7 advert on the television you can do so after the break. The advert very much takes the mickey out of other platforms, in particular BlackBerry, insinuating we are heavily engrossed in our phones and WP7 will make life easier for us. Me, engrossed with my BlackBerry? Surely not!
Anyway, from what we have seen of the new operating system it may well be quick and easy for us too complete a task but so much quicker than other OS’s? Nor sure about that one.
We should see the first of the Windows Phone 7 review devices rolling out this week so keep your eyes peeled for videos etc.
It’s been a while since we looked at laptops or netbooks but with a seeming ‘new wave’ of these devices hitting the market, presumably to because we are nearing Christmas, we thought it was about time to have a look at what £250 can get you these days.
First-up we are looking here at the Toshiba Mini NB250. This one has been on the market for a little while but as the price has now come down a little this appears to be, on the face of it, a good value netbook. With a run-time of 8.7 hours (claimed) it could be ideal for students.
In the video below you’ll see me unbox the NB250 and have a quick look around the hardware. Over the next few weeks we’ll have a review of the NB250 for you. If you’ve already made your mind up to buy one IT247.com have just dropped the price of this one to just £254.99
I discovered the following video over on the iPhone blog and thought I should share it with you here too. After we demoded ‘Drums’ for the iOS a couple of weeks ago I thought this would be a great follow on to show you the endless musical capabilities of the operating system.
New York band Atomic Tom forgot to take there instruments on the subway but luckily enough they had there iPhones with them and were able to give a live performance whilst travelling.
As you will see the iOS really delivers some great musical opportunities and Atomic Tom go to prove that.
Check out the video below and if you like the sound of Atomic Tom why not subscribe to them on YouTube.
The HTC Surround and 7 Pro are both devices that we in the UK are not likely to see this year. HTC have posted short videos of both that you can see below.
The HTC 7 Pro is the device that will be here next year at some point and will be open to all UK carriers, so HTC told me. Not sure about the Surround though. I think we may miss out on that one. Shame as it looks a right bobby dazzler!
