DreamLife

This is one of the most anticipated UIQ 3 application together with CorePlayer new version (which should be released next week, yay!). I mean, UIQ 3 has a built-in PIM /Calendar but somehow it is crippled  (no contact integration , for example) and it is about time UIQ 3 become a serious platform with more professional applications. Did I mention that this is brought to you by the same people who developed DreamConnect?Full press release follows… Read the rest of this entry »

Review: Nokia N81 8GB, part 2 - The camera
Posted in: Phone reviews | By: Dario Soltani | Date: February 20th, 2008 | 2 comments »

In the second part of our review on the Nokia N81 8GB (read part 1 of the N81 8GB review here) we’re going to take a look at the camera and the camera application.

The N81 8GB is equipped with a 2 megapixel camera, a single LED flash. It does however lack autofocus which is a shame. The obvious question is can it deliver decent photos? That’s exactly what I thought so I shot these pictures using the Nokia N81 8GB (2mpx) and the Nokia N95 8GB (5mpx). You don’t need to be a genius to figure out the N95 8GB will come out as a winner, but it’s still interesting looking at the difference.

Photo test

The first set of images were taken in bright sunlight and came out like this:

More images and comments after the break.

Here’s a cool video on the N-gage fighting game ‘One’ running a Nokia N81. ‘One’ will be released very soon.

And here’s a DVB-H demonstration (mobile TV) running on a Nokia N96.

Both videos were shot by James at Nokia Creative when attending Mobile World Congress.

New LG-KT610 based on S60 3rd Edition FP1 announced
Posted in: News | By: Asri al-Baker | Date: February 13th, 2008 | No comments »

kt610-open.jpg

This is another device announced pre-MWC this year. In a very awkward fashion if I could say. Because when the Press Release was made public, there are not a even single photo available but now, thanks to the folks at Engadget Mobile for their hands on photos of this E90-esque smartphone.On the outside, KT610 looks like a normal phone with a small screen but once opened, the 2.4″ QVGA screen (320 x 240) is crisp and should be familiar to those who have used S60 device before. The full QWERTY is also a nice looking addition with keys spaced comfortably between each other.
