Nokia Email service review 0 nhận xét

Nokia have released an update of their Nokia Email application available for Symbian S60 3rd edition Nokia mobile phones using the Nokia Messaging service. Still in beta version Nokia Email is free for now and let's hope that the guys in Nokia will come to their minds and decide that it should be free after the beta period ends. The Nokia Email application allows you to add 10 POP3 email accounts through the web interface and after downloading the application on your phone to sync theese accounts so that you can read and respond to your e-mails while you are on the go.

To start using the Nokia Email application, go to email.nokia.com and register for a new account if you already don't have one. After the registration is complete you will receive via SMS the download link for the Nokia Email application as we did on our Nokia N96.

The link will open the phone browser and after downloading the Nokia Email SIS file, install it on your phone. The installation process is quick under 2 minutes on Nokia N96 and other Symbian S60 phones from that class. Once it is installed the application will show the welcome screen...

After clicking Start the Nokia Email application will try to connect to the servers for what reason I am not sure.

After contacting the server (with SMS Provisioning title, no idea why the title is this) you will be displayed the login screen where you will have to enter your Nokia Email password. Please note that this is a different password from the one for your email service. For the purpose of testing this free application (for the time being) I have added my personal GMail email address.

So we have added a GMail account into the Nokia Email application on the first screenshot above you can see the home screen with the added accounts, the Compose, Sync, Settings and Help icons. On the second screenshot you can see how the Inbox looks like. You can control what folders of each email account you will sync through the web interface of the application available at email.nokia.com!

The process of browsing and reading emails in your Inbox is very easy unlike on the older BlackBerry push service application. Some of the things are even animated like scrolling titles and expanding the email boxes.

Here is a screenshot of how reading a mail looks like, the one opened is the email from the Symbian Freeware mailing list available on our site (Tip: Subscribe to receive S60 freeware updates). The only problem was that it does not seem to show the images (although we did not play with the application settings very much but this might be something that the Nokia people should be working on).
The other screenshot is how the compose (Create new email) form looks like. It seems that it automatically adds "Sent from my Nokia phone" on the bottom of every email you send but you can delete it while writing your email message.

While playing with the settings we found out plenty of options on what to sync and when to sync and even account specific options enabling your to set different settings for each email account individually.

Although this is still a free beta version of the Nokia Email service, there are still some bugs. The one we noticed was that the application synchronized the emails with a very big delay even when we manually tried to sync it, the new email would not show up. Update: After a while everything seems to be working just right... no idea why we the first time there was a delay with the sync process.

All in all our impressions of the Nokia Email client are positive, the application looks good and works very fast and since it will become a paid service in the feature (not really sure when and how much it will cost) lets hope that things will just get better.

If you are using just GMail, I suggest that you use the Google Gmail for your Nokia mobile phone which we reviewed in an article earlier this week.

Nokia N97 vs. iPhone 3GS 0 nhận xét

A lot of people will be asking this question, Nokia N97 or iPhone 3GS? But for S60 addicts like me and I believe, like most of the people visiting this site, the choice will be clear, Nokia N97! Although in more cases this seems to be a predefined choice, I think that it will be good to compare the two phones and see what are the advantages and disadvantages of each mobile phone.

So here is a quick walk through the appearance, form, features like connectivity, image/video capturing and software for the two mobile phones that will be on the wish list of many people around the world.

Appearance and form
Compared, the two phones are not that much different when it comes to style, both look really good and if image is the main concern when buying a phone, the battle will be tight. On the other hand the iPhone 3GS is thinner, but wider from the Nokia N97, lets not forget that the N97 has a slide out keyboard versus the on-screen keyboard.

Since both phones have 3.5'' displays having the keyboard out of the display helps a lot and improves writing speed significantly. I am not saying that there is something wrong with the on-screen keyboard, but a physical keyboard has it's advantages when it comes to writing emails and chatting with friends.
Having both phones in your hand, you will find the iPhone 3GS lighter, weighting 135g, while the Nokia N97 weights 15g more, rounding it up to 150g.

Hardware and specs
Although both the iPhone 3GS and the Nokia N97 have 3.5'' displays the resolutions is quite different. Nokia boosts 360x640 pixels, while the iPhone 3GS has a 320x480 display. The visual difference you will notice when using these devices is that the iPhone has a more natural image, but the N97 has a sharper cleaner image and a bigger resolution.

Powered by different operating systems, the needs for memory are different on both phones but anyway, the Nokia N97 has 128 MB RAM and 32GB internal memory, the iPhone 3GS has 256MB RAM and 32GB internal memory, twice as much as the Nokia.

The talk time on the iPhone is up to 12 hours and up to 300 hours of standby time. The N97 has up to 10 hours of talk time and up to 432 hours of stand by. But as you know the real time you have depends on how much you use the extras like Wi-Fi, MP3 and video playback , the quality of the network signal of your carrier and many other factors.

Both phones have a built in accelerometer, a proximity sensor and an ambient light sensor. The GPS capabilities of the phones are a bit different. While both of them have a built in GPS receiver on the iPhone 3GS you can use only Google Maps for now. The Nokia N97 built on the S60 platform gives you more choice when it comes to GPS and maps. Starting with the preinstalled Nokia Maps (Ovi Maps from recently) and finishing with a few commercial navigational software systems like Route 66 and Garmin Mobile XT.

Connectivity
Both phones have USB, GPRS, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g, Bluetooth, HSDPA and 3G capabilities. The difference is that the HSDPA on the iPhone 3GS goes up to 7.2 Mbps while on N97 it goes up to 3.6 Mbps and the Bluetooth version on the 3GS is 2.1 vs. 2.0 with with A2DP on N97. Also the Wi-Fi on the Nokia N97 supports UPnP.
Camera and video recording
This is where the Nokia N97 shines. Having a 5 megapixel camera (2584x1938) with Dual LED flash on the back and a secondary front VGA camera for video calls the iPhone 3GS with its 3 megapixel camera (2048x1536) and no flash, feels a bit inferior. Although in broad daylight there is not a big advantage to the N97, in night photos and in darker places when using the Dual LED flash the Nokia shows much better image quality. Also because of the bigger resolution of the sensor, the videos recorded on the N97 are a bit better then the iPhone 3GS.

Software and conclusion
This is a battle between the operating systems, the S60 5th edition vs the iPhone OS 3.0. There are a lot of things that can be said on this subject but in order to keep this article short we will mention a few keypoints only. The visual experience is better on the iPhone 3GS with all the effects, the Nokia N97 is a bit more conservative here. The built in browser on the iPhone provides better browsing experience, but the S60 browser is not far behind and it has a big advantage, you can see Flash. The choice of third party browsers available for the S60 platform opens new horizons for the N97.

The most important thing is that if you are not comfortable with the preinstalled software on the Nokia N97 you can easily find 3rd party applications that will do the job the way you like it. Unfortunately this is not the case with the iPhone 3GS even with all the software being written as we speak, the S60 platform as an older one, provides simply more choice.

I am not going to tell you which phone to choose, but personally I am a fan of the S60 platform and the Nokia N97 beeing one of the best phones built on this platform is a logical choice. On the other hand I must confess that I am impressed by the interface and all the effects on the iPhone 3GS, which make the phone fun to use. It makes me think that it is time for Nokia to start thinking a bit less conservative and make the mobile phones built on the S60 platform a bit more fun to use, especially the NSeries.

Nokia N97 or Nokia N900 0 nhận xét

Here is something to think about, what phone would you pick if you are going for the ultimate smartphone experience. Well, seeing the Nokia N97 and the Nokia N900 side by side, although that the second one is promoted as a mobile computer with some phone features, it comes clear that what we are looking for is something that every power user out wants. So having this two phones, which one should we pick? What are the main advantages and disadvantages of this two best of the best? Do we finally have the ultimate pocket sized mobile phone computer? Many questions and here some answers that might throw some light on this matter.
Nokia N97, Nokia N900 and other top smartphones
So besides the Nokia N97 and Nokia N900, the smartphones that can compare with this top line devices are the HTC Touch Pro 2 and Sony Xperia, I will say a pretty big competition going on here but I am illustrating this for other smartphone users running Windows Mobile as an opposite to Symbian and Maemo. Both phones stand up to this highly competitive examples and even stand out for some features they have.
Direct comparison
When you compare the N900 and the N97 side by side, they both share the same form factor with slide out keyboards, similar size with the N900 being a bit bulkier then the Nokia N97. Both phones are not exactly what you would name pocket friendly but with performance comes compromise.

The first thing you notice when you see this phones is that they have different operating systems. The Nokia N97 runs on Symbian S60 5th edition and Nokia N900 goes with Maemo 5 (based on Linux for those who are not familiar with the Maemo platform). So what does this mean for the user experience you will have with this phones. Well even with the new 2.0 firmware for Nokia N97 the N97 just seems a bit slower, the touch UI is less responsive and the overall experience is somehow like a forced S60 3rd edition smartphone on to a touch screen. On the other hand, the N900 running Maemo 5 runs very smoothly and everything seems to be fast and responsive, there are no lags and other problems.

When it comes to apps, there are plenty for both so this is not an issue. But if you have used Symbian S60 up to now the transition to the Maemo 5 Linux tablet might be a bit uncomfortable for you due to the completely different interface architecture of the platform. But judging from my personal experience, you will get used to it very quickly.
The advantages of getting the Nokia N900
Well to be honest much on the Nokia N900 advantages are based to the better hardware found in the internet tablet smartphone. So what are the main hardware differences between the Nokia N97 and the N900. Here is something that might give you a clue:

	Nokia N97	Nokia N900
RAM Memory:	128 MB	256 MB RAM (up to 1GB virtual RAM)
CPU:	ARM 11 434 MHz	ARM Cortex A8 600 MHz
Display:	360x640 3.5''	800x480 3.5''

As you can see from this few highlighted features you see that somehow the Nokia N900 is superior to the Nokia N97 having both more RAM and a faster CPU which beats the low amount of RAM application problem we have seen on the N97. Don't get me wrong the Nokia N97 is one of the best smartphones available on the market, but finally it has found it's match. The N900 looks like it has been designed with one thing in mind, performance! I have been using the N97 for a while now and I am satisfied with what I have seen so far, it surely has its problems, but as soon as the N900 comes on the market I would buy one. And if you want to know why, the reason for this decision is quite simple.

As a power user that expects his smartphone to do whatever he does on the PC, except maybe for resizing 1GB TIFF files with PhotoShop, I personally like the N900 a lot. It seems like you can do everything on it from email to browsing chatting and other Internet related tasks. With the amazing hardware and the Linux based Maemo 5 OS, you get a very powerful combination. The N900 becomes everything you expected from N97 and much more. So, if you get the N900 should you keep your old Nokia N97 and would you still use it. I am not sure if you have place in your pockets for two bulky phones.
