The Nokia N8 features a 3.5″ capacitive multitouch display, but till the last time I say it, only a few apps such as the browser, photos and the email client were able to use the multitouch capabilities. One place that I would have loved to see multitouch work was Ovi Maps but it didn’t support it at that time. However courtesy @Camb078 I have just stumbled on the following video that shows pinch to zoom working inside Ovi Maps on the Nokia N8.
I personally love Ovi Maps and this make …

Nokia has a lot riding on the N8, not only is its market share in jeopardy but perhaps more importantly its down in the mindshare and brand perception department. The idea that Nokia can no longer make a decent high-end smartphone, fuelled by the media is causing serious damage to its reputation. While this is not the case in countries like India, the fact that they were late to the dual SIM party has not helped things. Nokia hopes that the N8 will mark the start of that turn around, …

The FM transmitter on the Nokia N900 is one of my favourite features. The N900 was not the first Nokia to have it but the first to actually have a usable one. This was because you could boost the FM transmitter output and thus get clear sound even in slightly congested airwaves.

Samsung has just released a new firmware for the Galaxy S in India in the form of the I9000DDJG4 update. The new firmware is available via KIES, its PC application. The update brings bug fixes and a solution to the lag issue that the Galaxy S is plagued by once you have a number of applications open.
Early reports suggest that the performance of the Galaxy S is much better with I9000DDJG4 as compared to the firmware that it shipped with (DDJF3), however just a little lag remains. Rooting the Galaxy …

At the Delhi preview of the Nokia N8, I got hold of a Nokia N8 in what will be its retail packaging and did what everyone is dying to do, unbox it. The contents of the box will vary from region to region with Asia most likely to get a stylus as well. The device will come with a HDMI converter and a microUSB to USB jack for USB on-the-go functionality around the world in addition to the usual Nokia accessories like the charger, headphones and so on.
So without further …

I have recently taken delivery of the very impressive Samsung Galaxy S and to kick things off here is a complete gallery of the device, complete with comparison shots. The first thing that you notice when you hold the Galaxy S in your hand is that how thin it actually is and how light it feels. What makes this even more impressive is its specifications which make it one of the most powerful devices in the market today, and probably the most powerful on sale in India.
A gorgeous 4″ Super …

So I …
