Nokia X6 16GB Unboxing

We unbox the Nokia X6 16GB version which comes with unlimited music. The X6 is the first phone from Nokia to use a capacitive touchscreen and it does a make a lot of difference even to the date Symbian S60 5th Edition. The phone also packs a 5 MP Camera with LED Flash and features Carl Zeiss optics. The Music playback on this phone via loudspeakers is pretty loud and you can download unlimited music from Ovi Music for 1 year from the date of purchase.

Is Nokia N9 a N8 with a QWERTY keyboard ?

The guys from NegriElectronics have kept their promise to show a video of the leaked Nokia device . They are still strongly calling it the N9.  Till know we were pretty sure that the N9 might be a MeeGo phone. But this thing is running on Symbian 3.  We are hearing from sources that the Nokia N8 has some siblings one of which might have a QWERTY keyboard. Having looked at the  Keypad it reminds of the N97 mini but this one has 4 rows unlike the min with 3 rows. We are not convinced that this is the N9. This might be a N8-01 or N8-02 or simply N8 QWERTY. It can also be the E7 or in a rare case the  C7 !

Watch the video after the break ! Continue reading “Is Nokia N9 a N8 with a QWERTY keyboard ?”

Ridiculously Awesome: Your Phone As A Vuvuzela

You know the WorldCup, don’t you? Errr not that worldcup, the Football WorldCup! Well, if you watched only one second of any match, you must have noticed a weird annoying sound: that’s the Vuvuzela! Apparently, in South Africa, they can’t play football without that sound. Overly disturbing, isn’t it?

Well, the Vuvuzela seems to be all the rage nowadays and you have got to admit that after a couple of matches with its incessant sound in the background, you kind of, sort of, mildly, unconsciously get used to it. So not to be left behind, developers have jumped on the window of opportunity and started producing one Vuvuzela app after the other. I guess the age of fart apps and other bodily sounds is over. Too bad.

Anyway, there’s plenty of Vuvuzela apps in the Apple App Store as well as the Ovi Store. If you’re becoming too addicted to that monotone sound, just search your application store for “Vuvuzela” and you’ll probably find one (if not many) to help you get through those long, long hours when there is no match being played and your craving is overwhelming you.

But here’s the kicker, the ultimate FoneArena advice:

If you have a speaker around, be it portable or a good regular speaker, just hook your phone to it, for the ultimate Vuvuzela experience. Seriously. We tried it. We even shot a video, with the FoneArena fade-in and out, all serious and such. Here it is, showing the free MMMOOO Vuvuzela app from the Ovi Store (you can even change its color, and press several times to simulate multiple simultaneous Vuvuzelas!) running on my N97 Mini hooked to the Nokia MD-8 Mini Speaker. Enjoy, ehm, I guess.

Exclusive Video: Nokia N8 operated via Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse!

I’m sure you have already seen quite a lot of the Nokia N8’s Features. I managed to get my hands on it again, and to be honest, the release date can’t come soon enough. Top Notch hardware, phenomenal camera unit and a very noticable faster Symbian^3 made up for a great hands-on experience. Obviously, i won’t talk much into the Software yet, since this is all in proto status. But trust me, its a lot faster than all other phones before. Symbian and Nokia show us with the N8 what is poossible without any high-end specs, which is a great thing.

One thing that also comes as a first on the N8 is the Ability to connect Bluetooth Input Devices to the Phone – and work with it!! In our Case, me and Christoph (from Nokia Austria, thanks again) have used a Logitech Bluetooth Mouse and good ol’ Nokia SU-8W, a Bluetooth Keyboard. How its done? it’s as simple as connecting a BT Headset, enter Bluetooth Menu, search for input devices, choose, enter the 4-digit-code, done. Once the Mouse is connected, there is a small Mouse Pointer visible, and there you go. You can even use the right mouse button to go back to Home Screen, even scrolling is possible. Connect your N8 to a TV, couple it with your Keyboard and Mouse, and answer your mails right from the big Screen!! How about that!?

The possibilities are endless, its up to you to realize them 🙂

Nokia N8 Music and Video Playback

We had the chance to check out the Nokia N8 at Nokia Connection 2010 and we must say the phone feels great to grip. Finally full metal on a N-series device. The large screen (not as large as the HTC EVO 4G) but pretty good for a Nokia. Music playback is pretty loud considering there is only one speaker on the rear below the camera. The Cover flow animations are pretty cool but looks to have been inspired by Apple. Continue reading “Nokia N8 Music and Video Playback”

Nokia X5 Surprise Me feature lets you spin your phone to change the track

The Nokia X5-01 has a lot of features found in most phones these days but two interesting features grabbed our attention. Feature one dubbed Surprise Me lets you spin your phone on surface and it changes the track to a random one in your playlist. The second feature lets you know how many unread messages you have by just shaking the phone.  But when the music is playing shaking the phone picks the next track.
