Talk About Nseries

The N78 features the same camera that you would find on its predecessor (the N73) - a 3.2 Megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss Optics and an LED flash. Unfortunately however, it doesn’t have a lens cover which could make the lens on the back of the device prone to scratches.

You can tag images that you take with your location using the built-in GPS, and with Feature Pack 2, Nokia have added many improvements to improve the user experience when browsing through images you have taken.

In this post, I will look at how well the camera performs, as well as improvements made to help you make the most of the pictures and videos you take!!!

The N78 is receiving a lot of attention, and has received yet another firmware update! The update itself (v12.046) is available once again through over-the-air (see my previous N78 update post) as well as the Nokia Software Updater!

A short official change log has been release stating that the update “includes a number of performance improvements including software selection, Bluetooth Stability, Video Playback, Email sending and Alarm Clock functions”.

Owners over at Symbian-Freak suggest that an annoying problem with bass distortion has “gone but not completely resolved” as well as further improvements to the NaviWheel, GPS performance and overall UI speed.

I’m really pleased to see that Nokia are seriously implementing over-the-air updates into this new device and hope this is the case with others in future!

Although no data should be lost when applying this update, be sure to back up any important information and files before updating the firmware.

Have any N78 owners applied this update? What improvements have you noticed???

This is the first Nokia device to feature the FM Transmitter which allows you to transmit music from the device to the radio over a short distance. There isn’t any wires connecting the two together and it is simple to set up and use. In this post I will be looking at this handy little feature, it’s pros and cons as well as my thoughts of it as a music player!

The N78 is the first S60 device that has been released with Feature Pack 2. Feature Pack 2 has made it easy for new users to access and use an S60 device, and there have been many UI and speed improvements over previous versions.

In this part of the review I will look at some of the improvements made in the software compared to previous devices and give you my thoughts!!!

Along with the Nokia N78 we have managed to get our hands on, we have another exciting ‘accessory’ to take a look at - the Nokia 500 Auto Nav!

I had seen images on the internet of a Nokia Sat Nav device, but have never seen or used one ever before. I was curious to find out how good this device really was, and whether it can be a true competitor with the likes of TomTom and Garmin etc…

News has spread that the Nokia N81 series has received a major firmware update today!!!

If you have a Nokia N81, you will now be able to enjoy Demand Paging, Web Runtime Widgets, Flash Lite 3 support and something you probably weren’t expecting… Menu transitions from S60 Feature Pack 2!!!

As well as these new features, the firmware should improve the devices performance and fix any known bugs!!! No official change log available just yet.

Thanks to Symbian-Freak for the news, and continue reading for my thoughts and video of the new firmware in action…

An official interactive demonstration of the Nokia N96 seems to have been leaked accidentally on the internet!

The demonstration allows you to take a minature ‘tour’ around the device (exploring some of its features) and gives assistance with setting the N96 up for the first time.

The N96 is set to be released in Q3 2008 and now that the presentation of the device has surfaced on the internet, can we expect the device to be shipping sometime soon???

Does anyone know if the N96 has passed through the FCC yet!?

To take a look, follow the link below!

Hi All! This is my first post so I hope I don’t do too badly! Here goes (with encouragement from James!)

The Nokia N78 has a controversial keypad design that may take time for people to get used to. When we first received the device we were unsure about how usable the keys would be and how easy they would be to adapt to.

The N82’s keypad was strange to use for the first time but then when I was used to it, after a short space of time, it became easier. When I first saw the N78 I hoped that this would also be the case…

The popular Nokia N78 has received its first firmware update today, and is the second device to have an update available for download directly to the handset over-the-air!!! This firmware version is not available through NSU.

The Nokia N80 was the first device to make use of FOTA, but unfortunately it was only ever used once… Fingers crossed that this time round, all current and future handsets will have regular updates in this way. Even though there will not be as many fixes/improvements, any bugs that are present could be addressed a lot faster and it is also more convenient than connecting to the PC.

The Nokia N78 has made it to Talk About Nseries after being sent to the wrong depot by DHL! Thanks to WomWorld for allowing us to trial this device! We have received the version with the Cocoa Brown back, you can also get the N78 with a Blue or White backing.

The N78 is the latest ‘entry level’ Nseries device from Nokia, and it packs in all the features you would expect from an Nseries device, as well as many more!!!

It is also the first device on the market at the moment to feature S60 Feature Pack 2, and so far I am really impressed with the improvements that have been made!
