The Nokia N8 has been the best camera phone on the market for the past one year, even coming close to a DSLR in good light. The PureView 808 with its 41 Megapixel sensor promises to take that title away from its very able predecessor. While I was not able to do a camera shootout between the two, I was able to do a full hands-on comparison between the two.
The N8 now runs Nokia Belle, while the 808 will ships with Nokia Belle Feature Pack 1. Then it also has …

Remember the Nokia Shorts Competition we told you about?  The one that involved a grand prize of $10,000 and an all expenses trip to the London Film Museum, along with a chance to be one of the 8 entries that will be selected to receive $5,000 to produce the full version on two, Nokia N8’s. Yes, that one. Well its now over and we have a winner!

If you are wondering about the all new Nokia N9′s video capture capabilities, and how it measures up to the reining king, the Nokia N8, then this post might be able to help. The Nokia shoots 720p HD video at 24 frames per second out of the box with, while the Nokia N9 will be capable of shooting in 720p HD at 30 frames a second. Another difference is that the N8 uses an active hyper focal video focus system, which means that everything beyond 60 cms will be in …

Over the last few days I have been traveling around the United States with the N8 in my pocket as my primary camera. I do also have a DSLR in my bag, but I have realised that I only use it for something exceptional that I want to capture. If there is enough day light, I have mostly preferred to use the N8, because its faster, easier and most importantly has the ability to share instantly.

While in Las Vegas, I was able to capture some beautiful footage of the …

From time to time, Nokia’s Beta Labs comes out with some great gems, today is one such day. The free Nokia Big Screen app takes the process of connecting your HDMI devices (N8, E7) to the TV onto a whole new level with a very slick UI. You could still watch videos or photos on your HDTV without the app, but where the app really shines is making that interaction a pleasure. Once installed, it automatically launches the moment you connect an HDMI cable to your phone and now instead …

The #N8Producers Competition has just gone live and what’s on stake is a zero gravity flight experience for 8 people from anywhere in the world.
To put it simply, you shoot some awesome (read as: innovative, creative and exciting!) video on your N8, share it and if it finds a mention in the top 8 submissions you and a friend (that’s 16 people in total) will be headed to an exclusive N8 Producers Zero Gravity flight in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
But what if you don’t have a N8? Don’t worry, just head …

Almost whole of last week I was in Dublin for the first ever MeeGo Conference (more on the conference later) and had with me the N8 as my primary device. I was also carrying the Samsung Galaxy S as a side phone. While back home, the way I use both devices is that my main SIM remains in the N8, while a 3G SIM is placed in the Galaxy S for data purposes only.
All through the flight I was debating where to put the local SIM I bought in Dublin …

The Nokia N8 has been available for just two weeks and there’s already a new Symbian^3 handset that’s hitting the market in the form of the C7. Both of them run the same OS, share the same guts and are priced pretty near to each other.

So if you are in the market for a new Nokia, which one should you be looking at?

When ‘Comes With Music’ was first launched, I was skeptical. There were obvious evils, DRM’d tracks, additional cost for the service when you could get the same handset for cheaper without it, a not so stellar PC client, no Mac support to name the popular ones. The rollout of CWM devices was slow, scattered and thus adoption slow. It never really got the popularity that some of Nokia’s other Ovi services such as Maps received and didn’t become a huge selling point. That should change, here’s why.

The price at which …

The Nokia N8 is arguably the most beautiful Nokia ever made. Made out of anodized aluminum, available in five vibrant colours, the Nokia N8 turns out as one of the most durable, yet beautiful devices ever. It feels great in the hand and you can even put it down on the table secure in the knowledge that the aluminum back isn’t getting scratched anytime soon.
Here are some beautiful pictures of the dark grey variant of the N8, which at times is also referred as black. Since I had used a …
