Thread: !!!!Nokia Showcase!!!!..Feast for the eyes..Latest N series !!!

  1. #1
    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..
