iOS 4.2's Networking and Battery better than before ?

According to Nokia Siemans, one of the world's top cellular companies, claimed today that the new iOS 4.2.1 that has just been released couple of days back, contains a type of technology called network-controlled fast dormancy or known as (NCFD). NCFD speeds up the networking performance and optimizes how the iOS device connects to a network. This also helps for less network utilities.

Nokia has also been putting this type of amazing technology in their phones this year. Now in iOS 4.2.1, Apple has this too. This will make Apple's iOS 4.2.1 excel greatly for the new networking system and technology. Interestingly, Nokia has implemented this cutting edge method through tests instead of working with Apple on this design. It certainly seems that Apple would have benefited by engaging infrastructure companies early.

Mouse Powa: Nokia N8 Powered by a Hamster [Video]

Although the handset is not out yet (so this might be a publicity stunt), we’ve just heard that the Nokia N8 has got some other cool feature, aside from its 12 megapixel camera: mouse powa! We’re referring to the unique battery powering solution created by Peter Ash, who showcases his invention in the video after the break.

A playful hamster, its wheel and some mechanisms will fuel the Nokia N8 and charge its battery overnight. Apparently, Peter got started on this initiative being annoyed by the hamster constantly running on his wheel at night. Now, the night time hobby becomes an eco-friendly way of charging up the super cameraphone.

The first Video for Nokia N8 unboxing Vs iPhone? + 30 Photo By its Camera 12 Mpx

If Microsoft is investing all about the new version of operating system and various Windows Mobile 7 Phone that will mount on the other hand, we believe very much in the new Nokia N8 model for which was created the first Interactive Unboxing!

And essentially interactive movies are divided into several parts, the user can first choose one of three reviewers, then will move through the explanations of various functions, as if in front of a DVD menu.

All this was achieved by simple links to other videos on YouTube, but the result is nice and friendly. To start, press play on the movie here at the top and at the end you will have the opportunity to interact and begin the discovery itself of this terminal.

Features:

•  A 12 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optical zoom;
•  Xenon flash and a motion sensor;
•  Videos in HD quality with the ability to edit them using an integrated editor;
•  Mediacenter Portable, people can watch videos in HD with Dolby Digital Plus surround sound by connecting your home theater.
•  Access to web services with TV news and entertainment programs such as CNN, E! Entertainment, Paramount and National Geographic.
•  WebTV premises accessible by external applications available on Ovi Store;

Honestly I like, largely for the new Symbian OS ^ 3 that finally was "different" from its predecessors with an interface that is well suited to a touchscreen phone. Nokia has begun to change style, even focusing on aesthetic beauty and details and in fact even the box office and is very striking at first sight. Here's another funny video:

But here are a gallery of 30 images taken with this phone, 12 megapixel

Nokia MeeGo OS UI First Glimpse [Video]

Here is a first glimpse at the Nokia and Intel Meego operating system for mobile devices.

Nokia responds to Apple's antenna [ Video ]

Apple BFF Nokia is also responding to Apple's claims that its phones suffer from the same issues as the iPhone 4.

In general, antenna performance of a mobile device/phone may be affected with a tight grip, depending on how the device is held. That’s why Nokia designs our phones to ensure acceptable performance in all real life cases, for example when the phone is held in either hand. Nokia has invested thousands of man hours in studying how people hold their phones and allows for this in designs, for example by having antennas both at the top and bottom of the phone and by careful selection of materials and their use in the mechanical design.

Nokia Makes Fun of Apple’s iPhone 4 Signal Problem

Nokia’s PR found it necessary to make fun of Apple’s iPhone 4 signal problem, you know the one that involves you holding the phone “the wrong way” with your left hand. This makes the user drop calls and lose signal. As a response, Nokia’s PR published a list of different ways to hold a Nokia phone on the company’s official blog: Nokia Conversations.

This is an illustrated guide, recommending the users a couple of grips, used to grasp the Nokia device. In the last sentences, the company reveals the joke and says that you can ignore the suggestions above and hold the handset any way you like.
Not the perfect time of the year to make jokes for Nokia, considering their financial forecast…

Nokia N8 last Nseries to run Symbian : N9 confirmed

We've heard the rumors, but it seems CNET Australia has it on good authority that the N9 will be the first MeeGo device.



The head of Marketing for Nokia Asia Pacific, Will Harris, also told associate editor Joseph Hanlon that the N8 will be the last Nseries to run on the Symbian platform and that future Nseries models will sport MeeGo.

This would mean that the current Symbian^3 and upcoming Symbian^4 will be on only the Xseries and Eseries handsets. The budget Cseries, on the other hand, will run on the existing S40 software.

Video : Nokia Announces X5-01 and X6 8GB Models at Connection Event in Singapore

Nokia has just announced a pair of new handsets during the Nokia Connection event in Singapore. We’re talking about the X5-01 model and a new version of the X6, dubbed Nokia X6 8GB. The first device fits somewhere between Nokia X3 and Nokia X6, being a handset focused on music, as shown by its features: loud speakers, dedicated music keys, Ovi Music support and more.

This is also a social networking phone with an original square-ish form factor and support for Twitter, MySpace, Hi5 and Facebook. Its full QWERTY keyboard will help you text and e-mail with ease, while on the go. Also, the photo taking segment is handled by a 5 megapixel camera with 4X digital zoom and an LED flash.

Nokia X5-01’s internal memory is 200MB and we learn that the handset is bundled with a 2GB microSD card and supports cards of up to 32GB. The battery on this device is also impressive, providing 16 days of standby functioning or 24 hours of music playback on a single charge. There’s also an innovative side to this phone: you can spin it to switch to a new random track and shake it to reveal unread messages from friends.

The device will debut in Indonesia in Q3 for EUR 165 and reach the rest of the world afterwards. As far as Nokia X6 8GB is concerned, this device was available at first in a 32GB version, followed by a 16GB one and now this “baby version”, that will ship during Q3 2010 for EUR 225 (before taxes). Here’s a promo video for the X5-01:

Video : Nokia N9 MeeGo QWERTY Slider Leaked in Teaser Clip

Nokia’s getting leakier each day, with the 2010 roadmap hitting the web last week, followed by pics of the Nokia C7 model and now a short teaser video of the N9 handset. Although we can’t confirm how genuine this clip is, we’ve found it here first and we wonder if a Nokia announcement is to be expected this week.

Nokia N9 is a MeeGo OS device and its promo video seems pretty well put together in order for it to be the real thing. Who would go through so much trouble  to fake a teaser? We also have to mention that the sliding QWERTY keyboard comes with shallow keys, that are a big minus for a Nokia wannabe hit.
Here’s the clip you’ve been waiting for impatiently:

Nokia Heartbeat, Multimedia-Oriented Smartphone Concept

 esigner Jakob Kumar created a very interesting Nokia concept phone, dubbed Heartbeat, since its interface is based on the human pulse and graphs like the one of the lying detector, equalizer and heart monitor. The device uses social networking features and provides a composer that compiles together images, videos and sound.

Nokia Heartbeat is intended for capture and editing of media content, that can be shared via social networks. As you can see in the images, this Nokia concept uses a wheel mechanism for menu navigation, just like most digital cameras nowadays. The handset comes with a stylus, plus volume and lock buttons, that are easily accessible.
A large touchscreen is also on board, as you can notice and we’re guessing that there’s a decent camera incorporated at the back. Will this Nokia design ever become real?

Nokia N8 First Hands On Photos, Impressions Revealed

The folks of Tweakers.net were lucky enough to get hold of a Nokia N8 unit and get some hands on quality time with it. The result were the following pics, plus a couple of impressions that can be read after the break. This is a prototype we’re dealing with, but still a pretty hot looking device.

Tweakers claims that the tapered design makes the handset look thinner and futuristic, in a good way. Also, this is possibly the most powerful cameraphone on the market, specially since the N8 is able to take better pics than more compact cameras. You can consider this the perfect choice of cameraphone because of the price, huge 12 megapixel sensor, 28mm wide angle, 720p HD video capture and more.

Also, the device supports Stereo audio recording and the photo samples  published on the web pretty much show the quality of its camera. Scrolling through photos is done with much ease and galleries will show thumbnails seamlessly. Very few clicks are required in menus, which is very neat, as well as the graphical effects in menus, like the smooth bounce at the end of a list.
The browser is the same as the one on N97, while pinch zoom works well. These are the conclusions available for now, so we’re looking forward to seeing a more detailed review.

Nokia N900 Maemo 1.2 Leaks; Detailed Unofficially!

Believe it or not, Nokia is also able to leak important stuff, like the Public Release 1.2 version of Nokia N900’s Maemo OS. A Chinese site was the first to post it and we expect the platform to spread all over the web soon enough. In case you’re wondering, this is the real thing and devices are already booting the software now.

The changelog for the new Maemo includes smoother scrolling, a Flash version update, support for FM transmitter, the usual stability and speed updates, plus a new application manager. Maemo PR 1.2 makes long key presses give you numbers, cancels the stuttering when recording video, leaves the Skype video chat disabled (as it was) and makes the USSD codes work without extra apps.
Download link for the new Maemo is present here, or here and we’re looking for your feedback, if you tested the software.
