Many mentions in the blogosphere, after Symbian-Guru’s scoop:

What it was all about:

US Nokia N95

So what do you think of the specifications and the slight remodeling of the N95 as depicted on the flyer?

TV-out feature of the Nokia N95 reviewed by AAS

tagged with:, , , , ,

Most of its users know now that the N95 has a fairly good TV-out functionality.

Word processing in vertical mode on the N95

The guys of All about Symbian have put this functionality up to an in-depth test series:

  1. Will the smartphone eat the PC?
  2. The N95 as game console
  3. Word processing,  Spreadsheets and PowerPoint on the big screen

Believe it or not, but I am one of the happy few that does not own a television… so all I could test was hooking my N95 up with the 20 Dell flat panel I am using in the office… Putting my TV-out setting to widescreen it does a mighty good job.

Watch DivX movies on your N95

Found this information on SYMBOE:

DivX Mobile does what it’s supposed to do brilliantly. The interface is simple & easy to use. I’ve tested this application on my Nokia N95 to play several DivX videos without facing any problem. Videos can be played in portrait, landscape and full screen mode.

As well as the downloadlink: Mobile DivX 0.88

Enjoy!

Are you using copy & paste on your N95?

Seven Push email tested on Nokia N95

tagged with:, , , ,

In case you are the email addict that simply cannot wait, you might want to take a look at the Seven’s push email client for S60 3rd edition devices (amongst others).

Luca Filigheddu has reviewed the free software on his Nokia N95:

The push feature works very well, but after using it for two days, I can definitely say it’s not for me. Too intrusive, I rather prefer opening the Gmail client on my Nokia N95 and read emails from there. It really doesn’t change my life getting continuous alerts for new emails.

In addition, I would have preferred a new Inbox, not the standard of the S60. I can see only four emails at once there, not good if you receive hundred emails everyday. But I know that on E61 and E61i the story is different.

You can read the full review here.

N95, SE P1 and E61i compared

N95, P1i and E61i

Always interesting to see how the N95 weigh up against sort-a-like devices.

All about Symbian put the Sony Ericsson up against the Nokia N95 and E61i

As to how the P1i compares to the other two ‘class of 2007′ smartphones: well, it doesn’t disgrace itself. My own, utterly personal feeling, and one made stronger by my recent hands-on week with the Apple iPhone, is that Sony Ericsson’s implementation of a UIQ 3 interface has more than its fair share of kludges. Not that the two S60 devices are free from quirks, either. Both Symbian OS-based interfaces could do with a heavy streamlining session involving myself and an education-sized set of marker pens….

But the P1i succeeds at nearly every aim that it was set. Compared to the near-disaster that was the P990, the P1i has a much better display, a great keyboard, a better camera, tons more RAM and it’s lighter and slimmer. So it’s not perfect yet - which device is? It’s still Sony Ericsson’s best smartphone to date.

Back in the days I used to be a big fan of Sony Ericsson, but the slow response of their OS became a huge irritating factor… Still having some feelings for their design and intention I kept an eye on this P1, but not yet impressed…

What do you think of the conclusion AAS is giving so far?

Interview with the owner of the first Pink Nokia N95

tagged with:, , , , ,

In case you have not heard from her yet, here is your chance to get to know our fellow mobile blogger Darla Mack.

XpertMobile has put up a great interview with the Mobile Diva, Darla Mack.

Funniest question with amazing answer:

Most of us already know that your favourite colour is pink, but what phones have you got/had in this colour?

Hmmm that’s a long list.

Nokia Classic N-Gage with Nokia OK OEM pink housing

Nokia 7210, 3650 - OEM Pink Housing

Nokia 5300, 6610, 6682, 6630 - Aftermarket pink housing

Nokia 6600 - Rose… which was more bronze than pink

Nokia N73 - Pink

Nokia N95 - Pink

Nokia 3595 Hello Kitty Edition - came in pink

I’ll say this… whatever phones that I’ve had I’ve always made sure there were pink customizations for it. I’m working on getting my E61i pink but after seeing the E65 I think I’ll wait for that.

In case you you have some time to kill and you do not want or can’t use some data connection to down some YouTube vids, get some movies on your N95!

Trae of WMDtalk sent me an email with a link to the following thread:

Pocket PC, Nokia, Movies Releases for Phones
Movies for your Symbian Phone, Pocket PC (PPC), or any other mobile phone

some movies for N95

While I am not taking any responsibility for the downloading and possesion of these movies ;) , I guess that they can offer you some way of enjoying your N95 even a bit more!

All you need is the mobile DivX player (registration at Stage9 required) and to download some of these movies… great for the beach or the car!

N95, Twitter, GPS and Google Earth: Geo coded diary

tagged with:No Tags

Thilo of Das ZentralOrgan has written a great post on using the Nokia N95 in combination with Twibble.

As you might have noticed I was on vacation last week. To be more specific: It was a great sailing trip from Varberg, Sweden to Klintholm, Denmark via Copenhagen on a Dehler 35 yacht named Stern. Of course I had my GPS receiver, twibble, and the Nokia N95 with me. As a result this is my geo coded diary including geocoded tweets and photos.
