I have to say that my initial good first impressions of the new Nokia N78 handset are starting to turn to frustration.  I have been using the handset in anger for the last few days.. and I am getting so annoyed with the keypad design. As you can see from the photos below, the keypad is ridiculously small on the Nokia N78.  If you thought that the keys on the N82 were tiny you haven't seen anything till you try the N78! The Nokia ... Read More

The very popular Nokia N82 has recently received a firmware update (v20.0.062) that now brings, amongst other things, Flash Video to the device.  This comes not long after the Nokia N95 received its firmware update last month allowing viewing of YouTube on your handset. Unfortunately, I have not been able to upgrade the N82 that I have been trialing recently, as for some reason the handset lock code is not set to the default 12345, preventing me from checking out the new firmware ...

A little while ago I was fortunate enough to be invited to the Figures of Speech Gala Dinner in London. The event sponsored by SpinVox was to raise money for the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) and was an ideal opportunity for me to try out the Nokia N82 that I had recently been loaned. Hosted by Graham Norton, ten leading cultural figures introduced and explained an object that was personal to them, an object that they could not live without. With the Nokia ... Read More

So, as we expected the speculation was true and the Nokia N82 is now a reality! Much like the flagship N95 Handset the N82 comes with a 5 mega-pixel camera and Carl Zeiss lens, but the interesting part is that this is the first Nseries handset to have a Xenon flash. Finally Nokia have listened to the cries from N73 & N95 owners that the crappy LED flash on the handsets just isn't good enough. As you can see from the ... Read More
