Nokia N8 will be exclusive at Nokia Online for a week before it goes on general sale. In Finland you’ll have to pay 499€ to get this phone.

Nokia N8 is the first smartphone to run Symbian 3. The handset is equipped with a 12 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, Xenon flash and a large sensor – features, which make Nokia N8 more competitive than the iPhone and most Android devices.

In addition, Nokia N8 offers the opportunity to make HD videos and edit them with an intuitive built-in editing suite.  Doubling as a portable entertainment center, people can enjoy HD-quality video with Dolby Digital Plus surround sound by plugging into their home theatre system.

After the digital camera social networking is the second remarkable feature of  Nokia N8. Users can view live feeds from Facebook and Twitter in a single app directly on the home screen. The Nokia N8 comes with free global Ovi Maps walk and drive navigation, guiding people to places and points of interest in more than 70 countries worldwide.

The cell phone giant has been slow to introduce high-end smartphones that appeal to users, particularly those in the U.S. market. This is the general reason why people choose iPhone and Android devices in the U.S. and, that’s why I think, the new Symbian smartphone will be welcomed  by American users.

Nokia N8 is Nokia’s first phone to be equipped with Qt, a software development environment that simplifies the development and makes it possible to build applications once and deploy across Symbian and other software platforms.

As Reuters  reported, Nokia will release another smartphone E7 at Nokia World in London on Sept. 14. This device comes with a large touch screen and full keyboard.

Nokia E7 also runs Symbian 3 and is equipped with a  4 inch screen with 640×360 pixels resolution.The device has an 8 megapixel camera with dual LED flash on its backside. The price of Nokia E7 is still unknown.

According to Nokia’s official blog last year it was the Nokia N900, X6, N97mini and Nokia Booklet on the hardware side and Nokia Money, the Ovi SDK and navigation API on the software side, that bring success to Nokia. I think these two smartphones will bring more success to the manufacturer.

Expect more news from Nokia, as the Nokia Developer Summit 2010 will be held at the same time as Nokia World in London.

At first sight there must be no doubt of Nokia N8′s privilege, but let’s study deeper.

Differences between cameras:

1. The first difference is the resolution: as we see iPhone 4 has a 5 Mpx camera, while Nokia N8 captures with a 12 Mpx camera. The difference is more than evident.
2. Nokia N8 could take pictures in a wider angle. Below is a picture which clearly explains the advantages of wide angle.



3. The picture clarity is the third significant feature of cameras, which discovers how clear could be the pictures no matter when they have been taken – on the bright sunlight or on a gloomy day.
4. The colors of both cameras are of a very high quality: there is nothing to compare.
5. And finally the flashes, to know what flash is better, we must learn more  about both handsets.

So, take pictures by both smartphones and decide for yourself which of them is more powerful.

If I will try to shortly introduce you the meaning of this feature, I should mention about the main two things that make it unique. The first one is that the feature might use  the swiping the words in one go. The next one is that the feature will try to guess the word to be typed, which helps you to save the time on typing any kind of messages.

As for the rest of the info about Swype you should keep an eye on the video:

The last was helping out to get access to files on your PC or Mac. And now the company decided to stop providing this not-that-attractive option for its users. The service will end up by September 30, but this still leaves plenty of time to get used of leaving it.

The company gives you a chance to uninstall OVi Files Connector all by yourself. The good news is that even after this procedure you will not lose any data or file saved earlier. Anyways there are still no news about any kind of substitute service.

Recall that the company is developing Motally mobile analytical services for logging and reporting. The Nokia company expects that this acquisition will help the developers and publishers of mobile applications to optimize their mobile applications through a better understanding of how users use their applications.

The new service is expected to get adopted for a list of platforms including Qt, Symbian, Meego and Java. In addition, Nokia will continue to serve the existing customers of Motally, leaving the company at least some part of the time to get adopted to the new service.
 

At this specific point the  fate  of the project ended. The model has not been approved as a promising project and the production has been received. According to a source PocketGamer, this happened because of the conservatism of the company, which always has a number of projects with R&D, but only a few of them saw the light. At the same time, when creating a game phone, another group of engineers began work on a portable gaming consoles DS. And it should be noted that this project was much more promising: in contrast to the Nokia N-Gage gaming consoles in the series, which has sold over 120 million. But studies for wireless communications were used to create the Wii and Nintendo 3DS. So to say that the board of directors of the company made a mistake – it is impossible.

Nevertheless, Tirry is not happy with the practice of creating specialized processors for their own products. According to him – it is too risky and easier to use ready-made solutions, even at the expense of some functionality of the finished product. The risk in this case is that at the slightest mistake can lose a lot of money for one cycle needed to create the chip. It takes a very accurately determination of the functionality of future devices, choosing the right trend. But the thing is that the company has already given it to begin to develop the processor. Error in the predictions can cost all the money that will be invested in creating the chip.

The words of Tirri could’ve not been taken seriously, if not his vast experience in the IT-industry. For 40 years he worked in the field of computer science and is a well known figure not only in Nokia, but also in the “Silicon Valley”. According to the scientist, instead of chips, the Finnish company will focus on the materials used in the production of terminals. For example, in research centers employees are working on advanced materials capable of changing its color, easy to resist liquids and dirt, literally growing keyboard and other interface elements on the touch screen. By the way, it resembles the concept of Nokia Morph.

You only need to press the button of find my car and you’ll get it. The application is now available to get via Ovi Stores. There are two versions of it. The first one is for free and feels to be only a couple of weeks trial, while for the second one you have to pay 99 cents. So far I’m not familiar with the differences between the two, but  I guess 99 cents is not a reasonable sum to save on.

According to the company, currently more than 60% of job offers, as well as the various operations of sales and rentals are made through intermediaries when having charges for the commission payments. Finnish manufacturer wants to ensure a direct link between employee and employer, purchaser and seller.

Nokia Listings are available in three sections. In the purchases and sales it provides information about the different stores, showrooms, etc. The category” Work “is designed to collect data on both those who need to work and about subscribers who are willing to offer any jobs. The third section is designed to advertise local services. The service is based on technology geo-codes, allowing the user to learn only the information relevant to the region.

So far the new service is available only to the Indian owners of Nokia phones.

It should be noted that on many topical issues concerning the situation of Finnish companies, Niklas Savander preferred to laugh it off, and some of his answers were similar to the slogans of good prospects for Nokia. Nevertheless, some useful information from the unique Twitter-interviews can be learned.

Thus, the representative of the Finnish company said that the first Nokia smartphone running MeeGo will be presented at the end of the year. In this case, Niklas Savander agreed with the statement that the time between the announcement of devices and their release should be reduced.

Senior Representative ofNokia also said that for now the company has no plans to work closely with the U.S. carriers Verizon, AT & T and T-Mobile.
