Nokia N900

Nokia N900 Review– A Cool Hand Held Computer


If you are a gadget savvy person, who cannot forgo the high profile mobile phones, then you will die for the Nokia N900. It is not just another N series phone because it is a tablet and phone. The Nokia N900 is not only a slim mobile phone with dimensions of 110.9 x 59.8 x 18 mm and weight of 81 g, but also a slide full QWERTY keyboard mobile phone. The Li-Ion 1320 mAh battery provides a standby time of 278 hours for 2G and 250 hours for 3G, talk time of 6 hours 30 minutes for 2G and 4 hours 30 minutes for 3G and an incredible music play time of 24 hours 30 minutes.
The huge 3.5 inches resistive WVGA touch screen with a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels is definitely a winner. This is the second widest smart phone display, next only to Samsung 360 H1. Great image quality and splendid sunlight legibility makes the Nokia N900 the best in its class. The sensitivity of the screen is quite good and all you need is a gentle press to get the work done.
The slide out full QWERTY keyboard is another winner for the Nokia N900. The three row layout however requires you to use the shift and alt keys quite extensively to use the characters. There is also an onscreen numeric keypad for dialing the numbers. An additional virtual keyboard for text input is available when you want to send messages using the touch screen interface.
The music player is very basic, but it is not very interesting without advanced features. The FM transmitter is a good addition to share music with others. Video watching experience is good with large screen and DivX support. A 5MP Carl Zeiss camera is not much of an impresser for both still images and video even with dual LED flash.
The Maemo Linux based platform was not considered as a platform for smart phones until the release of the Nokia N900. In fact, it is much better than the S60 Symbian OS as the interface is very consistent. The OS works only in the landscape mode. For some mobile phones users, this is a bad point actually. So, Nokia has plans to introduce firmware upgrade to make the OS work in the portrait mode too. The cool feature of the Maemo OS is that you have to hit the task manager first to open the main menu if there are applications running. This task manager lists the browser tabs too so that you can switch easily.
The home screen is neat and simple with a limited number of widgets, but you can download new ones. Kinetic scrolling is enabled with most of the applications, but organizing the main menu is not quite easy. Regular PC shortcuts for commands like copy, paste, undo are all made available with the Nokia N900.
The phone book of the Nokia N900 is pretty basic and nothing much to talk about it. A dedicated call log is removed and you can view recent communications with the contact in the phone app. The telephony is good as expected, but the Nokia N900 lacks both smart and voice dialing. You can send SMS and emails using the Nokia N900, but not MMS and audio messages. There is no handwriting recognition, which is disappointing even with a stylus.
The Nokia N900 presents the best connectivity options with support for USB, Bluetooth, infrared, and Wi-Fi. Networks such as GPRS, EDGE and HSPA are supported to provide fast access to internet. Mozilla based browser is supreme and makes browsing very enjoyable. The organizer is complete, but the mobile office is a trail version. The built-in GPS receiver with Ovi Maps is great for navigation purpose. The Maemo platform is not fully developed and hence, the Nokia N900 allows use of third party applications.

Nokia 6760

Nokia 6760 Review– Tailor Made For Simple and Swift Social Messaging


The Nokia 6760 is a smart messenger phone in the lower midrange category. Known in the US as Nokia Surge, Nokia 6760 is so much focused on the use of the full QWERTY slide out keyboard. Measuring 97.5 x 57.9 x 15.5 mm and weighing 123.9 g, the Nokia 6760 is sure to fit your pockets while you are on the go. A Li-Ion 1500 mAh battery guarantees a standby time of 500 hours for 2G and 3G, talk time of 5 hours for 2G and 4 hours for 3G and music play time of 17 hours.
Compared to the real estate available on the front panel, the Nokia 6760 has a small 2.4” TFT screen. The QVGA screen has very good legibility under sunlight and it also has a brighter screen. An ambient light sensor is integrated with the ear piece to avoid extra sensor on the front panel. Below the screen, there are call and end keys along with the D pad. Additional hardware keys for quick access to browser, menu and messaging are placed on the left side of the display.
A full slide out QWERTY keyboard is the main center of attraction for the Nokia 6760. There is no alphanumeric keypad and hence, when you need to dial numbers, you should use the slide out keyboard only. The keys are all neatly arranged in three rows and the design makes it very comfortable to use the messaging option without any hassle.
3MP camera is found at the back of the Nokia 6760. There is no LED flash or self portrait mirror that can improve the quality of pictures taken. Video recording at 51 fps QVGA is quite good. The music player that comes with the Nokia 6760 is pretty decent even though you can’t expect full end musical features, however, various formats are supported by the player. As the slide model is not designed for musical lovers, there are no dedicated music keys. The video player is basic without any support for DivX or XviD. FM radio with RDS support makes the entertainment package of Nokia 6760 complete.
The Nokia 6760 runs on Symbian S60 3rd edition user interface. If you are already used to the Symbian interface and feature pack 2 in the E series phone, you won’t find anything new or intriguing in the Nokia 6760. 5th edition styling is brought about by S60 icons and accelerometer rotates orientation of the home screen as you rotate the phone. The active standby mode lets you add shortcuts for websites and applications to the home screen. Home screen notifications can also be customized depending on how you want to use your phone. Aside from the built in 128MB, you can exploit additional memory through using microSD cards.
The telephony of the Nokia 6760 is as good as any other high end phone with good reception and call sound quality. The phonebook has been revamped with a couple of extra features. You can now get windows live integration and Ovi contacts integration. Once you logon with your windows ID, you can use all types of windows message services. SMS, MMS and emails are supported by the Nokia 6760. Nokia messaging email client can be configured to handle various email accounts.
The connectivity options with the Nokia 6760 are a mixed bag. You will get Bluetooth, USB 2.0, 2.5mm audio jack, GPRS/EDGE, and dual band HSDPA, but there is no Wi-Fi and standard 3.5mm audio jack. Elaborate web browser exploits connectivity options. Organizers are very well equipped and the mobile office is worth a special mention with support for Word, Excel, PDF, PowerPoint, and Zip manager. The Nokia 6760 has GPS receiver and you can share your location with your friends using Ovi maps. Aside from standard 2D mode, you can also use interactive 3D mode for Ovi maps for navigation.

Nokia 5630

Nokia 5630 Review – A Mid Range Slim Music Phone


Nokia 5630 is a thin and eccentric XpressMusic handset that is sure to impress entertainment gadget lovers. Available in three color versions, Nokia 5630 looks very fresh and appealing. Nokia 5630 can easily slip into your pockets with dimensions of 112 x 46 x 12 mm and weight of 83 g. The Li-Ion 860 mAh battery provides a standby time of 400 hours for 2G and 408 hours for 3G, talk time of 7 hours for 2G and 4 hours for 3G and music play time of 25 hours.
The Nokia 5630 features a beautiful 2.2-inch QVGA display that offers incomparable brightness with resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. However, the screen looks smaller as there is more real estate on the front panel of the phone. Below the screen, there is a D pad along with the alphanumeric keypad. The keys are small, but once you get used to those keys, you can use the Nokia 5630 without worries.
A 3MP camera with maximum resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels is available with the Nokia 5630. It has dual LED flash, but there is no camera protection. There is no auto focus too. The camera has a handful of features and image quality is good. The videos are recorded in VGA resolution at 15 fps, which is good only for MMS.
The XpressMusic player of the Nokia 5630 caters to the demand of music lovers, just like any other XpressMusic phone, but when you expect more, you will be disappointed. The Dedicated music keys make the music player just a click away. Say and Play features let you say a song to play it. The Video player is good enough, but the small screen makes it viewing videos uncomfortable. Also, there is no DivX or XviD support. The FM radio with RDS support and internet radio will be enjoyed by music lovers.
The Nokia 5630 has Symbian S60 3rd edition operating system with several notable features. The contacts bar is placed at the bottom of the standby screen. Interestingly, you can add a RSS feeds to your contacts stored in the Nokia 5630. You can view your communication with the contacts from the same screen. The task manager is improvised and it pops up with every pop up menu. The voice recognition system recognizes your commands to the T.
As with other Symbian mobile phones, the phone book is highly robust with all features possible. Videos and personal ringtones can be assigned to contacts. The telephony is quite good and sound quality is very good when the phone rings. Ovi contacts are integrated to the phonebook, and it comes preinstalled in the Nokia 5630. Instant messaging to your friends is as simple as sending out a message. Gtalk support for Ovi contacts is also available.
The Nokia 5630 has a very decent keypad designed exclusively for the youth who show more interest in messaging rather than calling. SMS, MMS and emails are supported and you can manage messaging your contacts very effectively. MMS can be created without any extra editor because when you add pictures or other media to your SMS, it becomes an MMS. The audio message editor helps you send audio messages. The email client is simple and user friendly. Message reader app reads your emails, which is quite impressive.
Data transfer is supported by the USB and Bluetooth. To connect to the internet, you can use Wi-Fi, GPRS/EDGE or HSDPA/HSUPA. The Browser is very good with full java and flash support, but again, the small screen limits the enjoyment. The organizer features are good for the XpressMusic handset and the search application is quite useful to search the entire phone. The dictionary application is fully featured and you can download more languages if you need from the Nokia website. There are a couple of preloaded trial version of games, but there is a single activation key to activate one of those games you want. Of course, you can download more if you want.

Nokia 5530

Nokia 5530 – A Low Cost Touch Screen Music Phone


Nokia 5530 is a remarkable phone in the XpressMusic series that includes as many features as possible for a low price tag, making technology more affordable for everyone. This 2G mobile phone was basically designed to bring the touch screen to everyone so that people can enjoy the UI of the Symbian S60 operating system. The Nokia 5530 is a slim version measuring 104 x 49 x 13 mm and weighing 107 g. The Li-Ion 1000 mAh battery provides superior talk time of 4 hours 54 minutes, music play for 27 hours and standby time of 336 hours.
The front side of the Nokia 5530 is dominated by touch screen. The call keys and menu hardware keys too are touch operated. A proximity sensor is found at the front side. The Nokia 5530 has a 2.9” resistive touch screen with a resolution of 360 x 640 pixels and it can display 16 million colors. The sensitivity is very much improved than its predecessors and you won’t find the need to use the stylus as you use the phone. The major problem with the screen is that it has very poor legibility under sunlight. The accelerometer rotates the view of the phone when you change the phone mode from portrait to landscape and vice versa.
The Symbian S60 user interface is pretty much inspiring to use. The finger scrolling option in the interface is very much improved, making the phone more finger-friendly. However, the list scrolling is confusing with the Nokia 5530. Also, the opening items in the list are different from the opening icons. You need to get used to the interface in order to use the Nokia 5530 in an efficient way. The home screen is very much customizable and you can access all your favorite applications from the main screen itself.
The phonebook of the Nokia 5530 brings in no new options. The search feature is made much more user friendly. Telephony is perfect as with any other Nokia mobile phone, but there is no smart dialing feature. However, the voice dialing option compensates for the absence of smart dialing. You can silence the mobile phone by flipping it because of the accelerometer. All types of messaging such as SMS, MMS and emails can be sent using a common editor. For typing, you can use the alphanumeric keypad in portrait mode or tilt the phone to landscape mode to bring up the full QWERTY keyboard. Handwriting recognition is another interesting feature that requires you to input your handwriting using stylus.
The Nokia 5530 has a 3.15MP camera with a resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels. However, the camera is not of very good quality as in the case of 5800 XpressMusic model. There is a LED flash; however the picture quality is not quite good. Photos can be Geo tagged and a number of image editing options are available. The video is also disappointing, but there are few settings which you can use for your captured videos.
As the Nokia 5530 is a XpressMusic mobile phone, the music player is as good as expected. There are quite a few cosmetic changes made to the music player and it is completely touch optimized. A huge number of file formats are supported by the media player and the equalizer is available to change the way you want to listen to your favorite music. The FM player with RDS support makes it possible to listen to music when you are on the go. Watching a video in the Nokia 5530 is pretty satisfactory; however, the small screen limits the enjoyment. Further, DivX and XviD formats are not supported by the player.
Wi-Fi connectivity is a welcome addition to the Nokia 5530 aside from Bluetooth and USB connection options. Web browser is also good to use with a few modern features including flash support. However, the Nokia 5530 doesn’t have a GPS receiver.

Nokia N97

Nokia N97 – A Touch Screen Mobile Computer


Nokia N97 stirred the world of mobile phones and it is a complete smart phone with all the features that you could ever dream off, even though there is room for some shortcomings. The Nokia N97 is quite large with dimensions of 117.2 x 55.3 x 15. mm and weight of 150 g. The Li-ion 1500 mAh battery is pretty much satisfactory with a standby time of 432 hours for 2G and 408 hours for 3G, talk time of 9 hours 30 minutes for 2G and 6 hours of 3G as well as music play of 40 hours.
Nokia N97 has 3.5” resistive touch screen, with a pretty decent resolution of 360 x 640 pixels. The sunlight legibility is very good and it definitely makes the Nokia N97, a winner. As the screen is resistive, you can freely use the stylus to activate the menus and options. At the bottom of the screen, you will find the call and end touch sensitive keys. Contrastingly, the menu key is a regular button. There is a video call camera which enables video calling. The slide out design of the full QWERTY keyboard is impressive; however, the build is mostly plastic. Keys are big and arranged in three rows.
The Nokia N97 features a huge 5MP camera with Carl Zeiss lens and dual LED flash. With extensive settings, it is a very good camera to use while on the go. However, there is no smile detection, face detection and blink prevention features available with the competitors of Nokia N97. The videos are of MMS quality as the camera can shoot videos with VGA resolution at 30fps.
The music player of the Nokia N97 incorporates a few changes and it is designed for a touch screen mobile phone. A number of formats are supported by the music player and the equalizer options make listening to music in the Nokia N97, a pleasurable experience. You can work with other features of the phone with the player running at the background. There is also an FM radio with RDS support. The FM transmitter is an interesting addition to the entertainment package of the Nokia N97 because now, you can stream your favorite music to a FM radio receiver in your range.
The large screen of the Nokia N97 encourages using the video player with decent features. However, lack of XviD and DivX is disappointing. Onboard memory is a massive 32GMB and externally, it can be extended to up to 16GB using the microSD slot.
The Nokia N97 uses Symbian S60 5th edition user interface and it makes the touch screen more usable. If you have already used the S60 platforms in other Nokia mobile phones, the Nokia N97 will be your piece of cake. There are several widgets available and you can customize these widgets on the home screen. The screen rotates for your convenience as you slide out the keyboard. Thumb scrolling is enabled, even though using the scrolling bar makes things easier with the Nokia N97.
The phonebook of the Nokia N97 is similar to other Nokia phones. Editing and organizing contacts is much easier with the new interface. Voice dialing option is pretty much easier to use, but surprisingly, the Nokia has left out the smart dialing feature in the Nokia N97. Common messages SMS, MMS and emails are supported by the Nokia N97 using the same common editor. Audio messages can be recorded and sent separately using a dedicated editor. Alphanumeric keypad is available on screen in both portrait and landscape modes, but the QWERTY keyboard is much easier to use. Handwriting recognition is impulsive and useful.
The connectivity options for the Nokia N97 are extensive, thanks to 3G support. The web browser is neat and supports flash and java content. The built in GPS receiver and Nokia Maps lets you navigate without confusion. It appears that the Nokia has completely forgotten to load at least one preinstalled games, though you can download and play Java games.

Nokia N97 Mini

Nokia N97 Mini Designed For the Style Conscious Mobile Phone User


Nokia N97 mini is one of the interesting mobile phones in the N series. Apparently, it is a slightly downgraded version of the original N97. Mini is more compact and light. With a smaller display, lesser internal memory and smaller battery, the Nokia N97 mini is perfect for those who want the high end features, but ready to lose some tweaks for the lower price. The Nokia N97 mini weighs 139 g and measures 13 x 52.5 x 14.2 mm. The battery too is downgraded from 1500 mAH in the N97 to 1200 mAh, but it still provides good value with a standby time of 320 hours for the 2G and 310 hours for 3G, talk time of 7 hours 10 minutes for 2G and 6 hours for 3G and music play of 32 hours.
The design of the Nokia N97 mini is flawless and it is definitely the compact smart phone in the side slider class of mobile phones. The Mini has a 3.2” TFT resistive touch screen with 360 x 640 pixels resolution and it can display 16 million colors. Even though the size of the screen is lesser than that of the N7, the image quality is the same. The touch screen is very sensitive and sunlight legibility is good. The video call camera, proximity sensor and ambient light sensor is located above the screen. The side slide QWERTY keyboard has 3 rows of keys and the layout is very much similar to the N97, except that the weird D-pad is replaced by traditional arrow keys, which are very much comfortable to use.
A 5 MP camera is located at the back of Nokia N97 mini along with dual a LED flash. The Camera is unprotected without cover and hence, you have to be careful while handling the phone. The still images are good, but videos are recorded only at 30fps. The music player is pretty decent with enough functionality, even though the looks are not so cool. The audio quality is excellent and the speakers deliver what is promised by the music player. The video player is basic without support for XVid and DivX videos. FM radio with RDS support is a welcome addition and the FM transmitter in the N97 is omitted.
The Symbian S60 5th edition operating system offers a unique touch screen experience. Due to firmware up gradation, Nokia is able to provide kinetic scrolling feature. Widget enabled home screen can be customized with your widget preferences. List items require double touch for opening, while a single touch on icons is all that is required to open applications. Preinstalled widgets corresponding to Amazon, Facebook, AccuWeather, CNN, and others are available. You can use the Ovi Store to download more widgets if you want. If you love Symbian mobile phones, then you will enjoy the tweaks spread out all over the interface in the Nokia N97 mini.
A pretty standard phonebook with enhanced search and find options is seen in the Nokia N97 mini. There is still no smart dialing even though voice dialing is provided. Incoming calls and alarms can be silenced by flipping the phone over, thanks to the accelerometer.
Nokia follows the standard interface for messaging – SMS, MMS and emails. Audio messages can be created using a separate editor. If you are more of a touch screen guy, you can use the alphanumeric onscreen keypad, though it must be admitted that the slide out keyboard is very convenient. The email client is neat and it supports a variety of protocols.
There are no complaints regarding connectivity options offered by the Nokia N97 mini, as it supports GPRS, EDGE and 3G. Wi-Fi lets you get connected anytime and anywhere. The web browser is good for browsing with flash and java support, but it is not touch optimized. The Nokia N97 mini has an onboard GPS receiver and it comes in handy with Ovi Maps.

Nokia 6700


Nokia 6700 Review – A Stylish Device


The Nokia 6700 is one of the Nokia phones that have attracted the masses. It is a simple and seemingly perfect handset that has all the features you would normally expect from any popular Nokia phone. If you don’t want a high end camera, a huge touch screen, QWERTY keyboard and others, but still want a decent phone with remarkable features, the Nokia 6700 is for you. With dimensions of 109.8 x 45 x 11.2 mm and weight of 116.5g, the Nokia 6700 is surely a truly appreciated phone for the slim and sleek design. It has all features available as a package for a much preferred and affordable price. It uses a standard Li-Ion 960 mAh battery that promises 300 hours of standby time, 5 hours on 2G and 4 hours on 3G networks and upto 20 hours of music play.
The shiny outer panels are very attractive with the Nokia 6700. Nothing can be complained about of the outer design for the 6700. The outer panel is made of stainless steel which is smudge resistant. Even if it gets greasy, cleaning the panel is as simple as wiping off with a piece of cloth. A 2.2-inch TFT display of the Nokia 6700 displays 16 million colors and supports QVGA resolution. You can view decent and bright images with fine contrast using the display. The greatest advantage with the display is that it is legible even during bright sunny days.
At the back of the Nokia 6700, you will find a very good 5 megapixel camera with LED flash. This flash unit is very tiny and has less significance as compared to its other features. The built-in image editor makes it easy to edit images you have just captured. There are a few interesting options indeed. You can record videos too at the precise quality. The camera is completely exposed without any kind of protection. To maintain the high quality images irrespective of the age of the mobile, you have to handle it carefully.
If you have already been used to a Nokia user interface, then S40 interface will be nothing different to you. However, you can find some minor tweaks incorporated in the menu of the Nokia 6700 so that it is more interesting to use. The fully featured phone book along with an option to store contact pictures is more than enough for your normal use. When it comes to telephony, the Nokia 6700 works like a charm. You will be more than satisfied to use the phone for making and receiving calls. The absence of a smart dialing feature in such an advanced phone is still disappointing. Messaging can be a pleasure with one of the most comfortable mobile phone keypads. The email client used for email messaging is also good. Internet connectivity is good and the updated web browser is interesting to use.
The music player available with the Nokia 6700 really rocks. It is undeniably one of the best music players from Nokia. Decent looks combined with a great functionality makes the music player highly suitable for entertainment lovers. The D pad can be used to control the player and various file formats can be played effortlessly in the Nokia 6700. The FM radio is now a basic feature for entertainment mobile phones and the same is true with the Nokia 6700. One strange feature of the radio is that you can’t play the radio using a loudspeaker. You have to use the headset to listen to radio channels. The video player is impressive, but has limited functionality with a small display.
Aside from an organizer, Nokia 6700 has several applications that can help you to get connected with your friends all the time. The Ovi share and Ovi contacts are interesting functionalities. The importance of Ovi maps can’t be overlooked though. Many interesting games are preinstalled in the Nokia 6700. Even with a lot of features, lack of multi-tasking is very annoying because you can’t take advantage of many incredible features simultaneously.

Nokia 5130

Nokia 5130 Review – An Inexpensive XpressMusic Phone


Nokia 5130 is a very good phone that has the price of a midrange phone and features of a high end phone. Not everyone wants a N97 with superior office management and entertainment utilities. However, people expect their phone to be of good value providing a little more than basic features. The Nokia 5130 is such a phone that has slim and sleek looks with dimensions of 107.5 x 46.7 x 14.8 mm. It weighs only 88g and so, you can easily carry the 5130 in your pockets. The Nokia 5130 is a reliable phone and it is rightly called the XpressMusic phone as it has entertainment features as well.
The design of Nokia 5130 is impressive with a shiny plastic finish. There is a 2-inch QVGA display at the top of it. You can expect to view reasonably bright and crisp images with this screen. With a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, the screen can display 256K colours brilliantly. The greatest advantage with the screen is that you can read the screen in all the lighting conditions. At the back, you will find a 2 Megapixel camera. You can shoot still images or record decent quality videos using this camera. The photos taken using the camera are pretty good and satisfy your need for a camera mobile phone on the go.
The Nokia 5130 uses a classic S40 interface like that of other Nokia mobile phones. A basic phone book with all necessary features is present in the Nokia 5130. As with any other Nokia mobile phone, the call quality and signal reception is very good with the 5130 as well. However, the Nokia 5130 does not feature any smart dialing facility. It is natural to expect this feature because many midrange phones provide smart dialing. You can send SMS, MMS and emails using the Nokia 5130. There is no significant change noticed in the messaging interface used in the Nokia 5130.
The music player of Nokia 5130 is good enough to listen to your favorite songs. The new looks of the player matches the overall design of this Nokia handset. You can find dedicated music keys to access the player much faster because the Nokia 5130 is an XpressMusic phone. Apart from equalizers, the Nokia 5130 offers various customization options that help you to adjust the music player depending on your requirements. There is also a FM radio that can be tuned to your favorite music channels. However, the Nokia 5130 doesn’t have visual radio like that of 5310.
The video player is pretty decent for the Nokia 5130. You can view various types of files such as 3GP, MPEG4 and much more. You can also view the videos in full screen mode and fast forward or rewind the movie. However, the small 2-inch screen still prevents you from enjoying the videos thoroughly. Using GPRS and EDGE support, you can browse the internet. There is no 3G support. The browser has basic features required for normal internet surfing. There are a few java games, but you can download more. Standard Li-Ion 1020 mAh battery powers the Nokia 5130 and provides 6 hours of talk time and 288 hours of standby time.
With a 2 Megapixel camera, lack of flash and auto focus, it is disappointing. The video recording mode is only QCIF which is suitable only for MMS. Absence of stereo loudspeakers from an XpressMusic phone is unexpected. There is no office document viewer. Modern Nokia phones are expected to have flight mode which is definitely missing in Nokia 5130. Despite these problems, the Nokia 5130 is a good seller mainly because of the package available for the cost you pay. High end design and very good functionalities make the Nokia 5130, a preferred choice for you.

Nokia 5220

Nokia 5220 Review – A Tri-Band Music Phone That Brings a Whole Set Of Music


The Nokia 5220 is a true entertainment phone with several nice features geared towards providing excellent musical experience for the users. The slim design and slimmer price tag, just makes the 5220 much more desirable. The dimensions of Nokia 5220 are 108 x 43.5 x 10.5 mm. It is a lightweight phone that weighs just 78g which means that you can slip your 5220 easily in your skinny jeans. The standard Li-Ion 1020 mAh battery is very good providing 5 hours 15 minutes of talk time and 406 hours of standby time.
The design of the Nokia 5220 is much different from the other XpressMusic phones and it is an absolute style statement. The biggest competitor for Nokia 5220 is Nokia’s own 5310 because even though Sony Ericsson has several music centric phones, none of the phones could match the specification charts of the Nokia 5220.
The new shape of Nokia 5220 is quite interesting, but the body is whole plastic. The 2-inch QVGA display that can display 262K colors is not very impressive in terms of picture quality, but considering the fact that Nokia 5220 is a midrange phone, the screen is quite welcome. The ambient light sensor above the display takes care of the adjusting brightness levels on its own. On the left side of the 5220, you will find dedicated music keys and the backlit key designations will blink depending on the rhythm of the music. This can be enabled or disabled by setting music lights feature.
At the back of the Nokia 5220, there is a 2 megapixel camera. The Nokia 5220 is essentially a musical phone and hence, the camera is just an additional feature. You can expect the camera to take some decent pictures outdoor; however, under poor lighting conditions it won’t do any good because there is no flash. The camera is not poor either with the Nokia proprietary processing algorithm that takes better pictures in various lighting conditions. Video can be taken only in 3GP format and nothing more can be expected.
The traditional S40 user interface is used in Nokia 5220. An interesting tweak here is that when your 5220 is in standby mode, you can customize the screen like that of a PC desktop. This way, there is no need for any annoying wallpaper. Excellent messaging features are introduced in Nokia 5220. The features are organized in a more practical way making this Nokia handset highly usable. The MMS feature is particularly impressive as you can send even an event from your calendar as MMS. The email client is basic and impressive.
The inevitable Nokia 5220 XpressMusic music player is excellent. The new looks of the player is very good and matches the whole design. A2DP support helps you to listen to music using stereo bluetooth earphones. There is also a 3.5mm audio jack for dedicated headset. If you want something more than the stored audio tracks, listen to FM radio. However, there is no visual radio. The Nokia 5220 features a video player supporting 3GP and MPEG4 formats. Even with a good video player, it is not very cozy to view videos in a small screen.
The Nokia 5220 has a good web browser that can be used for surfing using GPRS and EDGE support. A number of preinstalled applications are present and most of them are very useful. Nokia Maps can be used for address lookup even without a GPS receiver.
There is no 3G support with the Nokia 5220. Nokia hasn’t introduced a smart dialing feature in its mid range phones while the other rivals already have this feature. Multi-tasking is not allowed here and maybe because Nokia has reserved this feature for its smart phones. The camera can be activated only using D pad and the absence of camera button is annoying. The lens is completely unprotected and the panel catches scratches quite easily since it made of the plastic.

Nokia x3

Nokia x3 – An Attractive Cool Music Phone

_
Nokia x3 is a new addition to the X series phone from Nokia. It is an affordable slider mobile phone packed with a number of features that any above the average mobile phone user will prefer. The music package available with the Nokia x3 is complete, but you can’t expect various high end features as it is a midrange mobile phone. The Nokia x3 measures 96 x 49.3 x 14.1 mm and weighs 103 g. Li-Ion 860 mAh battery is very much impressive as it offers 7 hours 30 minutes talk time, 26 hours of music play and 200 hours of standby time.
The Nokia x3 has a tiny 2.2” TFT screen with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. Even though the screen can display 256K colors, the size of the screen is much smaller compared to the size of the phone. The sunlight legibility is also unimpressive. A D pad and other soft keys are provided just below the screen. As you slide open the phone, you will find an alphanumeric keypad made out of plastic with brushed metal finish.
At the back of the Nokia x3, there is a 3.2MP camera with a maximum resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels. Considering the fact that the Nokia x3 is a low priced phone, it is not acceptable to expect high end camera settings features. There is no auto focus and LED flash is pretty disappointing. The camera shoots videos in QVGA resolution at 10 fps. Such videos are only good for MMS.
The music player in the Nokia x3 is the central attraction of the phone. It looks cool and supports a great list of formats. The stereo speakers are loud and clear. D pad lights up according to the rhythm of the song. Equalizer presets are fun to use. FM radio with RDS has a built in antenna which means, you don’t have to plug your headset to turn on the radio. The video player is good to view videos in basic formats including MPEG4.
Symbian S40 6th edition UI is used in the Nokia x3. You can taste a bit of multitasking with the Nokia x3, but the whole control is not given to you. Parts of various applications share internet connection and you are allowed to close any process as you wish. The interface is basically responsive and quick, but the applications take a long time to load.
The phonebook is revamped and it makes searching the contacts easier. Videos and ring tones can be assigned to contacts. Voice dialing is a welcome addition. The find on map option lets you search for the location of the contacts using the Ovi Maps application. The phonebook is integrated with Ovi contacts app and it supports GTalk. The telephony is great as usual just like other Nokia mobile phones.
All types of messages such as SMS, MMS, emails, audio and flash messages are supported by the Nokia x3. The conversations view makes it very easy to follow the previous messages in the thread. A dedicated IM application is available for the Ovi contacts. The email client is very much improved and the integration with different types of protocols is now possible.
There is no 3G connectivity support, but the basic connectivity options EDGE and GPRS are available. The Webkit based HTML browser is pretty good to use. While running the web browser, the basic phone tasks such as calling, messaging can be done using quick links in the Nokia x3. Since 3G support is not available, it is a waste to stream online videos. A number of applications are available, but not all of them are useful. There is a windows messenger to IM your friends. The Flickr app and Ovi store are notable applications in the Nokia x3. Even though there is no GPS, you can use Nokia Maps to locate destinations.

Nokia E55

Nokia E55 Review – Getting to Know with it


The Nokia E55 is ideal to be owned by the corporate men. Why? Simple, because this phone has dual business Smartphone just like E75. But Nokia E55 is set apart from Nokia E75 because instead of presenting a sliding keyboard, this presents a 20 keypad face. This time, the Nokia E55 is regarded by the world as the tiniest operating Smart Phone.

Nokia E55 Physical Features
The Nokia E55 appears in bar shape and is a 3G Smartphone. The E55 also comes with a distinguishing compact QWERTY design. This presents a QWERTY keyboard that is crafted with a well spaced numeric keypad to allow the user to type text and numbers quickly, making message deliveries feasible enough.
Nokia E55 also presents a perfect screen to provide the user with clearer colourful images, videos, messages, and others. The screen of this phone is designed with a high colour that is capable to display 16 million colours on a QVGA screen too. This actually presents a screen resolution with 320 pixels by 240 pixels.

Delving Into the Handset’s Practical Function
The user of Nokia E55 can also find great pleasure in its user-friendly user interface that is equipped with two home screens—personal and business.
