Rafe Blandford looks in detail at the Nokia E90 Communicator. A legend reborn? It's undoubtedly feature packed and technically impressive - but is there still a market for the qwerty clamshell form factor? Rafe and Steve include plenty of hands-on observations, photos and screenshots of this, Nokia's upcoming flagship.
As with the E90 yesterday, we have access to an pre-release hardware version of the Nokia E61i (announced recently at 3GSM). What do you want to know about it? Let's have your questions and see if we can calm your fears and pique your interest. Pop them in the comments and we'll get around to them through the rest of today!
Seeing as I have, for a short time, the Nokia N93, the N95 (production hardware, non-final firmware) and the E90 Communicator (prototype hardware, quite early firmware) all in one spot, I thought a comparison of VGA video recording was in order. Read on...
Ahem. AllAboutSymbian now has a pre-production E90 and we're keen to answer questions. Fire away in the comments and we'll both answer them below and also build them into a proper FAQ feature in a few days time. On your marks, get set, go! [updated]
Now that I've been able to test a production Nokia N93i, along with the continuous focus video I reported on last week, I thought it appropriate to both update the AllAboutSymbian review and also summarise the relative advantages of each device. Read on for text and video.
Ewan's been comparing the W950i with a non-smartphone 'Walkman' phone, the W900, and finds that the comparison reveals quite a bit about Sony Ericsson's thinking in the styling and interface of the newer, UIQ 3-powered device.
S60 and Vodafone last week announced the release of the first Vodafone specific software package for S60 to all S60 licensees. The customised version includes Vodafone specific applications, services and branding. The first two handsets that will receive this software are the Nokia N95 and the Samsung SGH-i520. S60 and Vodafone first announced their collaboration a year ago at 3GSM in 2006.
Remembering Michael Mace's excellent generic positioning (in the handheld industry) diagram from last year, I wondered where the current and upcoming crop of Symbian OS-powered hardware might sit in his Entertainment/Communications/Information chart. Comments are welcome as always.
Symbian's success story in Japan continues with the launch of the 50th handset to feature their MOAP platform and interface. The FOMA D903iTV is made by Mitsubishi and is available immediately. The Symbian press release follows.
Urgh. Oh the dangers of reviewing pre-production hardware. Our review N93i almost exactly a month ago had identical video recording performance to the N93 - production N93i devices have started turning up and Nokia have added continuous auto-focus in video mode!!
With 3GSM now subsiding, there's time to update my huge S60 device comparison table. If you can help fill in the few remaining blanks... There's also a new table of S60 3rd Edition freeware (previously integrated with that for older 'Series 60'). Enjoy.
