Dtians,
Heres my treat...Nauman this is to u !!
Nseries three new models introduced during Nokia Open Studio
Nokia has shown its strategy of pushing new models from N-Series ever
since they got announced. Until today we had 6 models in total. Most of
them are already available on the market, in Berlin during Nokia Open
Studio three more models were announced, which should cover holes in
product line-up, and create competition for other products from other
companies.
This event was held in traditional Nokia style, including a tradition
when Nokia gives out new handset during opening party to journalists so
they get acquainted with it during press-conference. This time it was
black Nokia N80. We already had a review of this device based on
prototype, this means that in nearest future we will update it once we
get commercial sample. Well, speaking briefly: this is an interesting
device, one of top solutions on today’s market. It’s interesting to see
how a special web-site was created prior to this event, it had schedule
of press-conference, several programs for N80, any journalist had the
chance to download them and use for his own good, as well as get
additional experience of this device. Even greeting speech by Nokia was
already pre-recorded in N80’s memory, as well as several tunes. Company
put maximal effort so that all its participants could feel total
potential of Nokia N80, use its strong sides (instead of standard 128mb
memory card, 2gb one was put in every package). It turned out that by
giving out for temporary use N80 to every journalist, the company
managed to cover a lot of goals, main one was to show how new
technologies can be implemented in practice and used in daily
activities. Believe me, this presentation is worth a lot, since user
sees what he likes, and what not, he’s free to decide weather this
device is cool or not.
But let’s move on to presentation of new models and main ideas that
were spoken out by company’s representatives. Although, before we move
on to that part, let me show you a photo that shows a sign which tells
you the way to toilets. Sometimes branding of everything everywhere
turns out in amusing results. Trust me, there were no N-Series phones
inside WC.
In the beginning of presentation a lot of things were said about part
that Internet takes in daily life, and what role it has in office.
Another point was the way how PCs evolved, how big they used to be, and
how small they are now. Logical conclusion was statement “Nokia N-
Series is not only handsets, these are multimedia computers”. One
interface familiar to user allows getting access to completely
different services: television, e-mail, Internet, games, multimedia,
and so on.
In terms of design, newly introduced models, as well as previous ones
from N-Series are sort of hybrid phones. This puts certain limitations
to their design, since a maximally comfortable phone that would fit
various people (different physical parameters, palm size for example)
should be created, it should also be adapted to consumer’s experience.
Speaking in free retelling style, company is worshiping Social Media,
which means will of ordinary people to self express. For example, if
you take photos, later on put them on remote server (like Flikr) – this
is Social Media. You want not only to save those photos on your device,
but also share them with the rest, show them to your friends and other
people too.
No wonder that interest to such possibilities is paid by traditional
medias, like BBC. BBC’s spokesperson was Justen Dyche, who told about
company’s attitude towards mobile phones in his company. I’d like to
point out that at the moment BBC is actively pushing forward free and
paid features for mobile phones, and by this parameter BBC is well
ahead of its competitors and has great popularity. In one of sections
of BBC web-site you can try to become a reporter, even if you don’t
have special skills or devices. In case you become a witness of some
interesting event, you can take a photo of that or make video clip,
later on send it via e-mail or defined phone number via MMS. BBC’s
editors will decide if this material is interesting or not, and in case
if it is, it will be in today’s headlines. It’s clear that even biggest
news agency cannot have its reporters all over the world, especially
this becomes actual during crisis conflict, which pops up unexpectedly.
Usually people who are around at that moment act as reporters, which
provides bigger trust credit to reports by viewers who are not
professional journalists either. This is the way things will be done in
future. I think that most of you had already noticed that in news
programs you often see videos made by cellular phone being shown, this
does not look extreme or wild nowadays, does it? Evolution of
technologies gives new turn for evolution of handset usage. Improving
picture quality and remaining compact size allows making shots that are
good enough to be used on television, and even paper press.
Part of BBC presentation was dedicated to thousands of images and video
clips being received daily, basically this is new type of media.
Russian news agencies have an open possibility to enter the market now,
it is not yet formed in Europe, this allows gaining advantage now by
becoming pioneer in evolving market.
From this we are moving on to models themselves. First phone is Nokia
N72. This model is special not due to what’s inside, but to what’s
outside and how this is positioned. This is the first handset in N-
Series line-up that has “fashion” element in it. Let me compare this
device to Nokia’s collections, latest L’Amour Collection for example.
For the first time we see a smartphone targeted for trendy young
people, who care about how their phone looks, not what it can do. Past
experience in this area is more of an attempt to see what this market
segment is capable of, not more than that. Great success of Nokia’s L’
Amour Collection initiated introduction of such “fashionable”
smartphone.
Nokia N72 adopts two cutting edge concepts of today – innovative
Nseries solutions and attraction of fashion device’s design. The major
advantage of the introduced cell phones over all the competitors, as
they claim, is music part. The entire trio has acquired XpressMusic
support, in other words capability of plugging in 3.5 mm earphones
through adapter, availability of online music uploading, Janus DRM by
Microsoft support (Windows Media Player 11 and older, synchronization
of music folders with the handset, songs purchasing on credit). Nokia
intensively shows itself off as a manufacturer dealing only with top
music powerhouses. To cut a long story short, the company keeps
referring us to Nokia N91, as all the new models, in fact, haven’t too
much of difference default sound wise (playback of a music file without
any extra effects). The distinctions lie in method of storing data
(hard drive or memory card), earphones and package. Thus there are not
so many new solutions to all these devices, actually user gets
excellent sound quality with any of them. As a matter of fact, I have
already warned you about this, yet only now this has become official –
the difference in sound quality is non-existent
The N72 is similar to Nokia N70 in many ways – the list of improvements
includes only varied design and a couple of other adjustments, not
vital for potential users; that’s why we are going to cover only the
design side of the new device
Nokia N73 flaunts its photo capabilities, providing a huge display with
2.4 inches diagonal and a 3.2 Mpix CMOS camera module. The smartphone
is targeted at taking sharp shots and further sharing of them via
various networks service, for example Flickr. The optics is of Carl
Zeiss, production, with auto-focus enabled, yet without optical zoom –
only x20 digital one. The maximum resolution of a single shot is
2048x1536 pixels allows the manufacturer to claim possibility of
getting photos 20x25 cm in size in photographic quality.
As to other innovations incorporated into the device, the mechanical
shutter applied in this one is not a rarity, but a unique case
nowadays, since most companies prefer using electronic shutter. The
extent which it will affect output shots is still to be examined,
though it appears to be another smart marketing move, like the one,
announcing replacing standard optics with Carl Zeiss glass lenses,
nevertheless they do not grant any obvious benefits as compared to good
plastic lenses. Worldwide famous brands make all the difference in
course of advertising company, persuading a certain part of possible
consumers to become loyal to the promoted device, even if the used
brand resides in a completely different sphere of industry.
Spec wise, The handset is pushed away for Nokia N80 as much as
possible, which carries a 3 Mpix camera, although without auto-focus
and with lens of plastic. I suppose they will manage to provide sharp
distinction in quality of taken shots of these two devices. The N80 is
more likely to remain a business model, since it supports WiFi
connectivity. Both phones run one and the same Symbian 9.1, S60 3d
Edition. The strength of the N73 is similarity to Nokia 3250, Nokia N91
hardware wise and presence of a CPU working at 314 Mhz on-board, while
Nokia N80 is powered by an out-of-date CPU type, providing only 214
Mhz. Therefore those who are not interested in WiFi connectivity
options should peer at this solution, furthermore the device houses two
stereospeakers on its upper rim.
The model will hit the stores in August without any delays, in fact,
all current Nseries handsets did – the platform is well-studied, so
there are no obstacles left to release it on time. The model will be
sold at the price of 450-500 Euro in three possible color schemes -
silver grey/deep plum, frost white/metallic red and frost white/mocha
brown.
Next Story in Video – that’s the slogan, Nokia N93 was followed by. As
you might have guessed the device is aimed at those who are desperately
seeking for splendid video recording quality on mobile phones. Over at
Nokia they ensure us that this very offering is going to be the top one
in terms of video capabilities in this year.
The model’s design reminds of Nokia N92 – the upper flip rotates in two
planes, thus it can be used as a compact video camera, the principle
always remains the same. The built-in optics in similar to Nokia N73’s
one on no account – the distinction manifests itself when it comes to
included 3x optical zoom function. The camera’s specifications are
provided by Carl Zeiss Vari-Tessar lens – 30 fps and VGA-resolution
what is already pretty good for a handset. Stereo-sound recording and
digital picture stabilizer are also on place.
Don’t get frustrated by the amount of available storage by default – 50
Mb, as there is a slot for miniSD cards. A memory card with the
capacity of 2 Gb may contain up to 90 minutes of video with all options
set to maximum values. The device is armed with TV Out, so that it can
be linked up with a TV set and used for demonstrating captured video
clips. For those, who aren’t going to keep the video files on the phone
for a long time, there is a program for burning them to a DVD disk.
When you hear talks of DVD video quality provided in this model, keep
in mind that this regards only played back files, not the ones you
record on your own.
Fullest regards...
Ur views will be highly appreciated..
