Nseries Blog

Today, Nokia started shipping it’s flagship Nseries device, the N96 after months of speculations about the release date.

If You’re not familiar with the N96, it’s Nokia’s top-notch device with 16 GB on board memory, a 2.8” LCD screen, 5 Megapixel camera with dual LED flash, WiFi, 3.5G HSDPA and of course GPS.

The N96 will be available on sale for 550€ before taxes and subsidies, and as reports are coming from reviews, it’s performance is not as high as it’s price.

Other newly announced device along the N85 is the N79, believed to be the upgrade of the not-so-old N78, The N79 supports a 5 Megapixel camera with dual LED Flash which is an upgrade of the 3.2 Megapixel one found in the N78, but other than that, nothing has changed a lot, except the design.

Other specs include GPS chip, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, a smallish 2.4” screen with no OLED, the key lock introduced in the N81, a 3.5mm audio output jack, 3.5G HSDPA and though this phone was announced coincidently with the N85, it doesn’t support USB charging through the MicroUSB port “wouldn’t it be great if every Nokia design team get together and try to implement minor changes on each phone like the USB charging, because it’s weird not to see that implemented in the N79”.

In an event in London, Nokia announced the newest member in the Nseries family, the N85, at the first glance, this phone looks similar to the N81 “Typical”, and sports nearly the same specs of the Nseries devices i.e. The 5 Megapixel camera, GPS and WiFi, but with MAJOR changes when It comes to the Screen, Connectivity, USB Charging and Battery usage.

New stuff in this device include tri-band HSDPA (900/1900/2100), Something we’ve all been dying for which is USB Charging through the MicroUSB port and a newly introduced OLED 2.6” Screen that is supposed to bring better colour combinations and improve visibility and at the same time dramatically cut the battery usage of the 1200 mAH battery that has an average stand-by time of a whopping 363 hours, also the device comes with an 8GB MicroSD cart which is kinda nice and prevents the User’s memory hassles.

Nokia Beta Labs just announced the brand new A-GPS beta application for the N810 that is is supposed to dramatically decrease the GPS lock time.

And as usual, because the project was just announced, the link is totally screwed up :P. so you might have to keep an eye on this URL as it’ll be updated in hours with the download link, and possibly some screenshots.

But it’s a good thing to see Nokia Beta Labs starting to develop applications for the Internet Tables, As far as I know this is the first Tablet-related project announced by the Beta Labs, and it looks like it’s a good start.

That’s all I’ve got now since as I said before the link is not working as the app was just announced, but I shall update this post with more details and screenshots once the website is up.

Updated: It seems that the link is now working, the application is only 4 KBs and requires an Internet Tablet with OS2008 Installed.

Hello Fellow readers,

I’m extremely sorry for leaving this blog postless for more than two month, but it was for reasons out of my hand, and now that my finals are done, I can start updating this blog again.

A lot happened while I’m gone, lots of leaks happened including the first touchscreen S60 also known as Nokia Tube, the N85 and some other leaks that is less exciting, N78 was released, too bad this thing got GPS which subsequently means I’ll never get to touch it, at least legally.

Few days ago Nokia bought Symbian and pledged to make it open source, which is a thing I believe was made to compete up with the already rising open source Andriod mobile platform by google, I’m going to have a dedicated post about this purchase later here in this blog, I have tons of ideas in my head about posts and plans for this blog that I hope you’d like.

So, that’s basically it for now, new stuff on the blog to revive it, and increase it’s traffic rate, something that got diminished after I transferred it from wordpress, and with that visitor diminish came the commenting diminish too, something that I don’t like.

Anyway. Better start the real blogging then .
