Nokia 6303 Classic now available to order!

May 29, 2009 at 10:59 am by Dan | In Coming Soon Handsets, Mobile News, Mobile Phones

In the wake of the recent 8.0 Megapixel wave including the excellent Samsung Tocco Ultra and i8910 HD, you may be a little curious as to why we’re excited about a phone with a rather meager 3.2 Megapixel camera. Well, because it’s the successor to the Nokia 6300, one of the most popular mobile phones of the past 10 years. That’s right, the Nokia 6303 Classic is now available to pre-order at Mobiles.co.uk with stock expected on the 8th of June. Let’s take a quick look at what the 6303 is all about…

The Nokia 6300 has big shoes to fill. People loved the no frills design, excellent build quality, bullet proof reliability and unspectacular yet well featured spec list. So how does the 6303 Classic maintain what made the original so special but bring it to 2009? The camera gets a boost from 2 to 3.2 Megapixels and complimented by autofocus and an LED flash whilst the dimensions remain largely unchanged (the 6303 is slightly wider and a few grammes heavier than its predecessor). Stylistically, the 6303 shares much in common with the 6300 with both taking a candybar form factor and comprised of a blend of high quality plastics and metals. The 6303 Classic is slightly more rounded and does benefit from a more user friendly keypad thanks to better spacing between the keys.

Elsewhere, its more a case of evolution over revolution; video capture, a built MP3 player, 70MB of internal memory and a memory card slot all make the cut. While this may not appease the tech hungry keen for the next 8.0 Megapixel-Wi-Fi-HSDPA-wonder phone, the 6303 is the natural progression for those who fell for the 6300’s considerable charm. What’s more, those of you still sporting the two and a half year old 6300 are probably in need of an upgrade!

With stock expected on the 5th of June, the 6303 Classic is destined to win over a new generation of no frills mobile enthusiasts. Available to pre-order in both Silver and the exclusive Black variant, click here to check out the available offers.

Nokia Ovi Store officially open for business!

May 28, 2009 at 8:31 am by Dan | In Mobile Content/Services, Mobile News, Mobile Phone Applications, Mobile Phone Games

Better late than never is perhaps the most appropriate phrase for Nokia’s Ovi store. With Apple’s App store recently bagging its billionth download and Blackberry App World starting to gain momentum, Nokia have finally got their App store up and running with the Ovi store now open. Should Apple and co. be concerned by the big N’s offering?

First impressions of the store are good. Setting up an account and logging in is relatively painless; choose your Nokia phone, enter in a few details such as creating a username and password and your account is instantly activated. Once logged in, the Ovi store will take you back to the homepage and show you a selection of recommended applications for your phone, both free and chargeable. From here you can then use the tabs at the top to sort by most recent and also by type (games/ applications/ wallpapers etc.). On each category there is also the option to filter between paid and free apps. The lay out of the Ovi Store is clear and straight forward and navigating is hassle free. Negotiating the different genre’s also makes it easy to filter so you can find what you’re looking for. One negative is the lack of free applications (in games there were only 5 compatible with my N82 and one of these was a demo) but considering the Ovi store is only a few days old, we’re willing to overlook this.

So first impressions are positive for Nokia’s Ovi Store. It goes without saying that they have there work cut out for them following in the foot steps of the hugely succesful (not to mention all round brilliant) iPhone App store but the launch of the Ovi store in the run up to the launch of the N97 is just in the nick of time. Can Nokia build on the good start it has made? Only time will tell…

Nokia N97 Review: Part 3 - Final Thoughts

May 22, 2009 at 11:14 am by Dan | In Coming Soon Handsets, Mobile News, Mobile Phone Reviews, Mobile Phones

For readers of the past two installments of the Nokia N97 review, the conclusion we’ve been heading towards has probably been quite clear. For those of you who are impatient and are just reading our final thoughts (Tut tut), put simply; we love the N97.

The design of the N97 is spot on. By no means a small phone, the subtle design and classic colours (black and white) ensure the N97 never comes across as bulky. The build quality is excellent, with no creaks or give in the materials and a premium feel all round with nice touches such as the metallic rim. If you were given the N97 without knowing anything about it, you’d guess that it was the manufacturer’s flagship phone straight away. The slide mechanism is also reassuringly robust and opens up to reveal a well made and extremely user friendly QWERTY keyboard. From a design point of view, the N97 hits all the right notes.

For those sceptics who were unsure as to whether Symbian would work on a touchscreen platform, the N97 puts your mind at ease. The N97 combines the user friendly approach and intuitive controls of a touchscreen phone with a tried and tested operating system that has an ever growing catalogue of downloadable applications, set to be expanded further with the launch of the Ovi store. What’s more, applications such as the Facebook widget are perfect for the N97, taking advantage of all of the phones strong points. As for the display itself, aesthetically it’s hugely impressive pulling off great levels of clarity, sharpness and vivid colours and thankfully these great looks are matched with a responsive and intuitive touchscreen experience. Navigating menus and browsing through the gallery is effortless, typing using the on-screen alpha numeric keyboard is easy and the handwriting recognition is among the best seen on a mobile phone. Our office was divided between those who preferred using the iPhone and those who were won over by the N97.

In terms of features, web browsing on the N97 is a joy thanks to a brilliant web browser and support for websites that other top of the range phones just can’t offer. 32GB of internal memory should provide more than enough for most, though for those with a passion for music and movies, the addition of a memory card slot will be a welcome one. As for the camera, at first I was dubious of a 5.0 Megapixel camera considering that this was no more powerful than my 15 month old N82 and hardly cutting edge but the N97 still manages to produce some stunning photos. Perhaps it’s the fact that you’re looking at your photos on a brilliant 3.5 inch display but everything looks crystal clear and the ability to upload them to your Facebook with a few touches of the screen is a masterstroke.

Obviously, as with any phone there are drawbacks and so it’s no surprise that the N97 does have a few minor niggles that we would have liked to see ironed out. Multi touch on the screen (as implemented so well on the iPhone) would have been a nice addition as at times it does get a bit fiddly zooming with the zoom bar when in the web browser. Video capture could also do with an overhaul, though this is the case with the whole Nseries range, not just the N97. Would have been good to see HD video capture, slow motion video capture or some other premium video recording features.  Lastly, if we’re really being picky we could question why Nokia didn’t consider overhauling the camera and upgrading it to an 8.0 Megapixel sensor but this is really nit picking as the 5.0 Megapixel camera is more than sufficient and does produce some excellent photos.

Having used the phone for just under a week, I can honestly say the N97 won me over in every department. The fact that they had to prise the phone from my fingers to get it back just goes to prove what an impressive job Nokia have done. The design of the phone is impressive and hits the right balance of feeling sturdy without being too bulky and simplistic without being boring. The slide mechanism feels reassuringly well made and the QWERTY keyboard is useable to the point that I could picture myself whiling away hours web browsing using the excellent combination of touchscreen and keyboard. And on the subject of the Internet, this is easily the best online user experience I’ve ever encountered on a mobile phone. Nokia’s absence from the top of the range touchscreen market has been a curious one, much to the advantage of Apple, Samsung and co., who have all had huge success with touchscreen phones. Thankfully Nokia haven’t left it too late. The N97 takes the power and performance of the Nseries and puts it in an excellently designed touchscreen phone that is sure to be a huge success. Nokia’s strap line for the N97 as a ‘True Mobile Computer’ is right on the money; theN97 is the closest effort yet at putting a PC in your pocket.

With the Nokia N97 due to launch in late June, click here to register for updates and be the first to get your hands on the phone as soon as it’s available.

Nokia N97 Review: Part 2 - Internet & Multimedia

May 21, 2009 at 1:43 pm by Dan | In Coming Soon Handsets, Mobile News, Mobile Phone Reviews, Mobile Phones

Part 2 of our Nokia N97 review and a look at the premium features of the phone as we check out web access and the host of multimedia options on offer.

Ask any one involved in the development team what’s the first word that springs to mind with the Nokia N97 and the likely answer will be ‘Internet’. The N97 promises true mobile internet, not a watered down experience that you often come to find on mobile phones, but is this the case or just harmless marketing spin? The web browser on the N97 will be familiar to anyone who’s used an Nseries phone. Opening the web browsing icon presents users with a selection of shortcuts including favourites and recently viewed pages. Clicking on the option to open a new web page brings up a text box and an on screen alpha numeric keypad to punch in the web address. Open up the QWERTY keyboard and the display switches to landscape. Personally I found using the phone with the QWERTY keyboard the most enjoyable method of web browsing as you are shown more of the web page and can use a combination of keyboard and touchscreen navigation. Once the webpage has loaded up, you can scroll by dragging your finger across the touchscreen or using the four way navigation key. Double tapping on the screen will zoom in or out and tapping on the arrow icon in the bottom right corner opens the tool bar which lets you zoom more comprehensively, open up the options menu or navigate to a new webpage.

While none of this might sound ground breaking, the ease with which it’s all handled is staggering. Web browsing on the N97 is effortless. What’s more, visit a site such as the popular video sharing YouTube and you’ll be impressed to find that the N97 fully supports it with videos played directly on the webpage itself or in full screen once opened in a separate window. BBC iPlayer is also a pre-installed application on the N97 and lets users watch the previous week’s instalments of all of the BBC’s most popular shows from Eastenders to Top Gear. Despite the obvious difference in size between the N97 and a PC or Laptop display, at no point do you feel you’re getting a condensed version. With the N97, mobile internet really is the full internet on the move.

As a member of the Nseries family, the N97 is much more than just a one trick pony and this is definitely evident in the built in camera. The N97 features a 5.0 Megapixel camera with a Carl Zeiss lens, auto focus and an LED flash. Whilst 5.0 Megapixels is no longer as ground breaking as it was, the N97 still manages to impress. Perhaps it’s the excellent display that helps but as soon as you’ve taken a photo, you can instantly see how crisp and clear it is. Images are sharp and the more you zoom the more you understand that 5.0 Megapixels is still more than adequate in a camera phone. Uploading onto a PC is easy and demonstrates further the impressive results. The camera layout is fairly straight forward and takes little time to pick up. On the right side of the phone you have the capture key which is operated by your right hand and the zoom keys which sit comfortably within reach of your left index finger. On the right of the touchscreen display is the tool bar for changing the settings, letting you switch between the video and still camera, change to different scene modes including the excellent Macro mode (as seen in the sample image), set a timer and change the flash settings. Considering it is a single LED Flash rather than dual, the flash is incredibly powerful and helps to illuminate low light conditions with ease so you still get the best out of the camera. Not just a great camera in its own right, the N97 also fuses various other aspects to great effect. Want to share a photo with your friends? Well aside from the usual options of geo-tagging and picture messaging, the N97 allows you to upload it straight onto your Facebook page. The simplicity of it all ensures that users will be taking full advantage come launch day.

The N97 also handles video capture well, though it would have been nice to see some improvement over older Nseries devices, especially in the wake of the i8910 HD with its HD video recording. Still, the N97 records at 30 frames per second in QVGA resolution, delivering video that is free from distortion or choppiness. Playback does look great on the 3.5 inch display, especially with the tilting design, though you do start to see the limitations when using the TV out feature and watching your videos on a bigger screen. After shot editing software includes the ability to add audio clips (paving the way for comedy sound tracks to your home movies), add text, still images, crop videos and merge multiple clips together.

In terms of music, the N97 once again excels. Music can be sorted by Artist, Album, Playlist, Genre and Composer and when you consider that the N97 has a staggering 32GB of onboard memory, you understand the importance of sorting your music in a clear and easily manageable manner. Once you’ve pressed play you the album art (if your music has this feature) and the usual selection of play, pause and skip options. The N97 comes bundled with a set of headphones that provide excellent sound quality and reassuringly, if you want to share your music with a wider audience the N97’s built in speakers are more than up to the job. Louder isn’t always better and thankfully the N97 matches high volume with equally high sound quality providing excellent levels of Bass and little interference. In the music options the N97 also features a shortcut to the Nokia Music store giving you access to all the latest hits and an ever growing back catalogue that can be purchased and downloaded straight onto the phone itself.

Tune in tomorrow for the final installment of our Nokia N97 review to see what we really thought of one of the most hyped phones in mobile history.

New iPhone rumours surface: OLED iPhone?

May 21, 2009 at 10:00 am by Dan | In Mobile News, Mobile Phones

It seems that ever since the iPhone was first launched there’s been no shortage of rumours concerning its successor. While the iPhone 3G is certainly an extremely powerful piece of kit, there have been several conspicuous absentees from the feature list. But with Apple announcing the iPhone 3.0 OS update that is due to launch in the summer, it looked as though the missing features where to be included in a software update rather than a new iPhone putting the rumours to bed once and for all. Or so we thought….

According to a ‘reliable source’ at Apple (we appreciate how tabloid newspaper-esque that sounds), Apple are still beavering away on the iPhone 3G’s successor and it could be here sooner than you think. While we’re not normally one to be taken in by this kind of internet fodder, the latest rumour caught our attention not only because the features sound great but also how feasible it all sounds! First things first, the new iPhone will apparently sport an OLED touchscreen display as opposed to the LCD found in the original. If this is true, the benefits will include a better battery life and an even slimmer iPhone as OLED screens don’t need a backlight to operate and so can be much thinner compared to LCD.

Other upgrades include a boost for the camera from 2.0 to 3.2 Megapixels with autofocus, increased processing power and also increased memory to 16GB and 32GB variants which seems perfectly reasonable as the upgrade from 2G to 3G saw the memory capacities grow. Perhaps most far fetched of all are the rumours is that the new iPhone is to include an Apple logo on the reverse of the phone that actually glows! While this certainly sounds good (and i’m sure it would look pretty cool too), i’m not so sure Apple would improve the battery life only to think up new ways to drain it.

Of course all of this is completely unconfirmed at the moment but it certainly sounds promising. The best part? Apparently the new iPhone is due to launch on the 17th of July. Now that i do find hard to believe! Still, if it does turn out to be true, that means that the official unveiling must be imminent. Keep your eyes on the Blog over the next couple of weeks for more info as we get it.

Nokia N97 Review: Part 1 - Design & Usability

May 20, 2009 at 9:48 am by Dan | In Coming Soon Handsets, Mobile News, Mobile Phone Reviews, Mobile Phones

As promised, we’ve put the Nokia N97 thoroughly through its paces so you know exactly what’s what with Nokia’s new touchscreen phone. So much so, that we’ve decided to break the review up into three parts so we don’t miss a thing! Read on for part one and our take on the design and usability of the N97.

It is perhaps an understatement to say that people are eagerly anticipating the release of the Nokia N97. Since it was first announced in December of last year, not even Nokia themselves could have predicted how much interest it would attract. One of the main reasons the N97 has attracted such a huge following is that it is a touchscreen mobile phone. But not an internet tablet like Nokia used to be so fond of or even a member of the music centric XpressMusic range; this is an Nseries touchscreen (the first ever) and so carries a certain weight of expectation with it. The Nseries badge after all is reserved for Nokia’s flag ship phones. As such the design of the N97 is very much centered on the touchscreen. The front of the phone is dominated by the 3.5 inch display with physical buttons kept to a minimum. Below the touchscreen we find the call answer and end buttons which are touch sensitive and a physical menu button. On the left hand side is the touchscreen lock key and micro USB port (the phone charges through this and does away with the traditional Nokia connection) and on the right we find the camera capture button and the zoom buttons. On top sits the standby button and the 3.5mm jack and the back continues the minimalist theme with a nice plastic lens cover for the camera and a solitary Nokia Nseries logo.

The touchscreen is surrounded by a classy silver metallic strip which hints at what lurks inside; the touchscreen slides up (Xperia X1 style) to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard. Sliding the screen up automatically switches the orientation of the screen to landscape and the keyboard itself is nicely spaced out with ample room for even the biggest fingers and for those feeling confident you can combine QWERTY keyboard and touchscreen navigation for fast and fluid access. Though the N97 design is a little understated (as is the case with the majority of touchscreen phones where the display is the most important part), the minimalist style ticks all the right boxes and the excellent build quality proves what a high class handset the N97 really is.

The N97 features a 3.5 inch touchscreen display, exactly the same length as that found on the iPhone 3G though slightly narrower. The touchscreen supports up to 16m colours which is a real feast for the eyes when combined with the ample size, whilst it uses resistive technology meaning it reacts to applied pressure rather than heat so you’re not just restricted to using your fingers, good news for those fond of using a stylus. The sensitivity of the touchscreen is excellent; the N97 is accurate enough to easily detect when an icon has been selected and swiping through pictures in the photo gallery (as made famous on the iPhone) is responsive and user friendly. The excellent touchscreen combined with the familiar Nokia interface means you’ll be navigating like a pro in no time. In terms of additional features, the N97 features handwriting recognition along with a handwriting trainer so you can set up the phone to match your style of writing. Also, in addition to the obligatory accelerometer (for rotating the screen) the N97 also features a proximity sensor which turns the display off when the phone is held to your ear in a call which helps to conserve battery. All in all a well rounded touchscreen that has enough pulling power to get your attention in a market that is hardly short of competitors.

The N97 runs on the Symbian operating system, specifically v9.4, series 60 release 5 (for those of you who take an interest in which version you’re running), which is the same touch sensitive interface employed on the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and the recently released Samsung i8910 HD. For those people new to touchscreens, the N97 makes perfect sense as it gives you that familiar Nokia interface with all your applications exactly where you’d expect them to be. What does change with the N97 is the home screen. Whilst still fully customisable so you can just opt for the traditional Symbian lay out, the N97 allows you to add interactive widgets that sit on the home screen. These include applications like weather updates, your favourite contacts from your address book and a Facebook shortcut which is sure to be the most popular widget available at launch. The Facebook shortcut lets you sign in from your home screen and will then alert you to messages, pokes and tags just as if you were sitting at your PC. The fact that you can set this to run in the back ground is perfect for Facebook fans who don’t want to have to constantly log in to keep in touch. The launch of the N97 is also set to coincide with the launch of the Ovi store, Nokia’s take on the iPhone 3G and its App store. Our sample included a shortcut to the Ovi store which, once it has officially opened its virtual doors, will offer a variety of applications and services (both paid and free) that can be downloaded and installed directly on the phone. Whilst we can’t comment until the Ovi store is actually up and running, we’re certainly excited at the prospect.

Check back on the Blog tomorrow for the second installment of our Nokia N97 review as we check out what makes the N97 tick in our thorough review of the web and multimedia features.

Blackberry Storm 2 Spied!

May 18, 2009 at 2:04 pm by Dan | In Coming Soon Handsets, Mobile News, Mobile Phones

Whilst the original Blackberry Storm wasn’t exactly the revelation that some made out, Blackberry still seem to have confidence in their Touchscreen range and have shown faith in the platform with leaked images suggesting a successor is in the works. The Blackberry Storm was the companies first attempt at a touchscreen phone. Many critics, myself included, questioned how Blackberry’s Email centric approach to mobile phones would translate to a device that lacked a physical QWERTY keyboard. This along with a less than exciting spec list forced the Storm to live in the shadows of the excellent Blackberry Bold and 8900 Curve.

But now, the Storm is back. Can the sequel match the popularity of its siblings and also take on a touchscreen market that is already full of world class phone’s? Or will it prove to be another storm in a tea cup (sorry)? From the leaked images, the Storm 2 looks almost identical to the original though it is reportedly considerably slimmer. Cosmetic changes aside, the specifications of the new Blackberry Storm are pure speculation at the moment. The rumoured inclusion of Wi-Fi (which was a conspicuous absentee from the original) should please those who were tempted by the original. As for the rest of the features, let’s hope they can improve on the lackluster camera and improve the internal memory. With no word on a release date and still no official announcement from Blackberry, we’ll have to wait and see what new information surfaces on the Storm 2 in the coming weeks. Keep your eyes on the Blog for further up[dates as and when we get them.
