Pictures: Blue Nokia N8 compared to N900 and X6

As reported before, I was lucky enough to get invited to a special little Blogger event, hosted by Nokia Austria. We have been shown and demoed the Nokia N8, the latest photography flagship from Finland. Since the Device were still in proto status, we weren’t allowed any exhaustive hands-on times, but the bit we got to see really impressed. I was lucky enough to grab one of those N8’s and quickly shoot some size comparisons, with a Nokia N900 and a X6 16GB. Enjoy the Pictures!

An Apple iPhone 4 launch day story from London

Here is a Apple iPhone 4 launch day story from Fone Arena reader Neha from London. The above photo is a scene at an O2 Store in Brighton .  People are crazy about Apple  products in USA where Apple does majority of it’s business. But it’s interesting to see what Apple is doing across the seas in UK. Japan should be much more interesting ! Continue reading “An Apple iPhone 4 launch day story from London”

Is this the Nokia E7 or N98 ?

A new Nokia device has been leaked ant it looks like a E90 Successor and seems also like a N series member on the exterior.  The guys who got of the Proto seem to think it’s the N9 and calling it the N900 successor but they don’t seem to know the difference between Symbian and Maemo / Meego . This device is pretty much running on some version of Symbian . By now we are pretty much sure that the N9 would be a Meego Device and would be the first handheld from Intel-Nokia marriage of Moblin and Maemo.  Interestingly the model number on this  leaked phone says its the N00 while the front says its C0

UPDATE: its the E7 and price is under 500 euros Continue reading “Is this the Nokia E7 or N98 ?”

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.

Nokia C5 Live Pics

Nokia C5 Review

Here are some live pics of the Nokia C5 from a Singapore event. The C5 reminded me a lot of the popular 6233 music phone .Back then that phone was running S40 but now the Nokia folks have managed to cram in Symbian in a similar form factor. The C5 might turn out to be a successful no-frills phone used mainly for calls or messaging. Check out the pics below ! Continue reading “Nokia C5 Live Pics”
