In part 1 of this series, Steve Litchfield looked at exposed camera glass on some phone models and investigated whether scratches really make a difference. In this, part 2, he investigates the pros and cons of LED/dual-LED/Xenon flashes in camera phones - which one should you be considering if imaging is paramount? Part 3 will investigate the fabled 'Megapixel myth' with an objective eye, and we're also planning on adding some extra technical camera-related articles later on, courtesy of AAS regular Dirk Snoyt.
Rafe gives a first impression preview of the Nokia N79. The hardware is the main focus as we take an early look at a prototype version of Nokia's latest Nseries 'candybar' handset.
Why are phones always bigger and better than the last one? Because otherwise people like Ewan would get upset because that's what we've come to expect.
Rafe takes a preliminary look at the Nokia N85. Looking at the key differences with earlier devices, new technologies and the evolution of the dual slider.
So the N85 looks like the N81 looks like the N96 looks (a bit) like the N78. Good, that means the market is maturing and growing, which is exactly what we want to happen. Ewan Spence explains why.
The Nokia 5320 XpressMusic has finally gone on sale, and we've got hold of one of the first retail units. This is the actual phone as it is now in the shops. The review should be coming soon, but hopefully this will keep those interested happy until then.
Living near a big city (Reading in my case), it's all too easy to think of my phone/smartphone experience as being typical of the norm. During the course of a week away in rural Somerset (look it up on a map of the UK), I made several observations (hey, I'm just in an emboldening mood...) which show that we should never take 'our' mobile environment for granted or assume any level of capability in other mobile users.
And, along the way, managed to crash an 'iPhone' and get a couple of people to go all dizzy while explaining what I was doing with the N95 8GB...
