Video : Nokia N97 Mini Unboxing

nokia-n97-mini-unboxing

The Nokia N97 Mini is here and we have an unboxing video just for you. The N97 Mini is actually much much more appealing than its big brother. We are actually liking the mini as the screen is VERY responsive and the phone has about 200 odd megabytes of free memory . The phone comes with the 2.0 firmware pre-installed if that’s adorable.

Symbian^3 Concept Screenshots remind us that Symbian is still Alive and Kicking

The folks at AAS love Symbian for sure and they bring us some great screenshots of the Symbian^3 which was shown off at Nokia Capital Markets day yesterday where Nokia even announced plans for Dual SIM phones and a Maemo 6 powered device in 2010.  Many were speculating that Symbian does not have a future and that Nokia might ditch Symbian for Maemo. But this does not seem the case. Nokia is going to be releasing phones in S40, Symbian and Maemo next year.  The screenshots are only from the Concept stage but still they are refreshing . Actual devices might obviously differ when they are announced in first half of 2010

Multiple Homescreen support .  We have been craving for multiple homescreens on Symbian ever since N900 got it.

No other phone comes close to Nokia N900 in the Browsing department , Speed Test Video inside

The Nokia N900 may be seen as an internet tablet with phone capabilities. The N900 has got the best browser on a mobile phone and we are not kidding. We used the N900 alongside the iPhone ,  OmniaHD  , a Blackberry and an Android device and our conclusion was that No Other phone can come close to N900 in the Browsing Department. All websites load and appear the same way it does on a desktop  including banking sites and airline sites  which are the most problematic.The screen is very responsive and there is kinetic scrolling, zooming. Javascript including AJAX,Flash work pretty well

Nokia X6 Photo Gallery: 5800XM Comparison & BH-505 Mixing

Nokia’s recently announced X6 music device might have failed to gain a lot of attention at Nokia World 2009, due to the spectacular success of the Nokia N900, and its limited availability with Comes With Music service, but it still is a great solution for those who want a nice capactive touchscreen, S60 5th Edition, and 32GBs of built-in memory. The X6 also has a GPS receiver, a good 5MP camera, a nice interactive homescreen with contacts, applications, email and calendar showing up, kinetic scrolling widely implemented, HSDPA internet speeds…

Here are some comparison pictures next to its oldest sibling, the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, showing that the X6 is a bit longer but the same width, and much thinner. Both devices have the same connectors and keys at the same locations in all sides, except for the X6 not having an external microSDHC port due to its already integrated 32GB memory. The X6 also doesn’t come with any stylus, since its capacitive touchscreen doesn’t function with styluses, but only with finger touches.
