Nokia N800 - great for the internet junkie

Advantages: Great surfing experience, nice screen
Disadvantages: Shame it does not make phone calls like a regular mobile phone

...The Nokia N800 internet tablet landed on my desk today, and having previously tested the N770 I was a little excited to see what had changed and/or improved. More importantly, would I now find a use for the device, when last time around I was left mystified as to how useful it would be for my day-to-day use. Out of the box the design has improved a great deal. Gone are the slab-like looks of the previous incarnation and you can say hello to some smooth curves, a nice contoured back and a pleasant silver finish to the front. The buttons are a bit odd, sort of set off-centre, and a little non-tactile, but you won't find this a problem, as they are not used too much. The touch screen is the same as before, a glossy finish, very high resolution (800x400) and everything is really colourful, bright and pin-sharp (more on this later). Around...

Review of Nokia N800 Internet Tablet

N800 - extremely portable and full featured

Advantages: Great battery life, good screen resolution, very configurable
Disadvantages: Lacks a scroll page wheel/buttons

...I purchased the Nokia N800 Internet Tablet shortly after the newer N810 was released for a bargain price from play.com. The N800 is basically identical hardware to the newer N810, only missing the pull out keyboard, the on-board 2gb of storage and the GPS chip. It supports bluetooth so it's possible to replace the keyboard and GPS with bluetooth accessories, and it supports SDHC cards for storage, so 2gb of storage can be picked up for a song nowadays. The N800, once upgraded to the latest IT2008 software from Nokia, is faster than the stock IT2007 software as it increases the processor speed which was deliberately underclocked to prolong battery life. There is a friendly and helpful community of people writing software for the Internet Tablets, along with official software provided from Nokia themselves. The screen is brilliant...

Nokia E71

Advantages: Looks Great, battery life is excellent, email and wi fi functions
Disadvantages: no push email, menu graphics could look better

...I recently bought an iphone which as a phone I was really disappointed with. I wanted to find a phone, which could email and undertake business applications whilst still look cool when I pulled it out in a bar at the weekend. What can I say? The Nokia E71 is all of these things. It's a solid mobile phone that looks great and does all the things it says on the tin. If I had to be negative on some points, then it would be that the menu and graphics could be more modern in their appearance and email needs to be synchronized. However on the whole the phone is excellent If you're looking for a sharp looking phone that you can use for business that won't let you down, then buy the Nokia E75....

Compaq Evo N800 lasts and lasts and lasts

Advantages: Reliable, Durable, Great display, Portable desktop
Disadvantages: None

...Nearly 4 years ago I bought myself my first well known laptop after 3 lots of non branded ones. There is a world of difference and with careful selection I ended up with the Compaq Evo N800. What a break that turned out to be. First things first - the screen is superb with top laptop resolution rather than the crappy max of 1280xnothing offered by most other models out there even today. 1400 x 1050 gives too small a font some might say. Load of rubbish. This screen has the best viewability I've ever witnessed by which I mean that it's easily readable from any angle in front of the screen. No, it's not widescreen but don't let that put you off. Battery time is a solid 2-3 hours depending on activity and even after 4 years of the same battery it's still the same. Layout of ports etc is pretty standard and the only thing...

Nokia 6300

Advantages: Slim and sleek, easy to use
Disadvantages: None that I can think of

...I got my new Nokia 6300 just over a month ago so I feel its enough time of using it to write a review. I had been due an upgrade of my phone but hadn't really seen anything I fancied until I saw someone who had this phone and I really like the design of it. I've had Nokia's for years (my last one was the 6230i) and so am able to find my way around them. I rang Vodafone and they said I could have it free on upgrade and so I jumped at it. **The design ** I think the phone looks really slick. The dimensions are aprx 10.5cm x 4.5cm x 1.5cm. The screen is 4.5cm x 3.5cm. The top part of the phone (3/4 of it) is black which has the screen in it and 5 keys to make call and access the menu. The number keys at the bottom are silver and flat. It was easy to put the sim and battery in, and the back cover came off much easier than...

The Nokia N95

Advantages: Good quality with plenty of great features and applications
Disadvantages: Short battery life, may occasionally freeze

...The Nokia n95 was first released on sale in the UK at the beginning of 2007. It was one of the most advanced phones available at this time. It has a lot to offer the owner. First of all, the display is a 240 x 360 TFT display with ambient light detector and up to 16million different colours to take your fancy. The display is quite clear with not a lot of icons to clutter up the space. The signal and battery levels are illustrated in the top corners of the screen split either side of the time and the profile selection, e.g. silent, general, and meeting. Beneath this we have the main tabs showing from left to right; the contacts list, radio DJ, bluetooth, web, gallery and maps. The calendar is hidden below this and can be opened to view dates and set reminders for birthdays etc. These reminders appear on the main display screen which is...

Review of Nokia N95

Nokia's peak

Advantages: Packed with features, easy to use, versatile
Disadvantages: Delicate, no expandable memory

...This would be N95 number 2 for me, since I upgraded from the original N95 to this one, since it has a bigger capacity, and was also simlocked (using an unlocked N95 is a nightmare because half the features won't work). I was a big fan of the original and I saw nothing here that would dissuade me from remaining a fan of the Nokia N series. For many years the Nokia N series has, in my opinion, produced some of the absolute best phones on the market. Ever since I got my first N series phone I have never used anything else. So, does this one continue in that vein? COST Well, I got it on 3, and the contract was 400 minutes and 200 texts for £27 a month. This is quite pricey by 3 standards. 3 used to offer the cheapest contracts back when they were desperate for customers, but now they seem to have fallen inline with other service...

Nokia 6300: Elegant

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: none

...The Nokia 6300 is one of the finest in the Finnish phone manufacturer. Nokia has apparently unruffled by some of its competitors, in which the quest for a thin phone, the last year. In 6300, Nokia, finally seems to be the increase in the market for telecommunications thin. Dressed in a chassis made of stainless steel, the 6300 is armed with a 2MP camera and a screen 16 million colors. The 6300 has the look and features for a great team. Unlike other slim phones, the Nokia 6300 is perfectly weighted and is surprisingly comfortable to hold. The good design in brushed aluminum of 6300 gives you a feeling of class and style. Our test unit feels solid, but there are many scratches on all the previous commentators. Black gloss to the upper half of the device are the fingerprints of magnets and very prone to scratches. Apart from the fact...

Review of Nokia 6300

A simple guide to a Nokia mobile phone

Advantages: Looks, weight, simple to operate, sound quality
Disadvantages: On Off switch, clunky software

...I have kind of steered clear of Nokia products after my partner’s Nokia phone stopped working one day before the warranty expired & when she contacted them two days later they didn’t want to know. Even the guys at Virgin Mobile tried to persuade them to help but no they weren’t interested. So why am I reviewing a Nokia phone & won’t it be rubbish as revenge to the companies lack of help in the past. Well no, this review is based on a Nokia phone supplied by my ex employer & the review will not be influenced by previous experiences. The Nokia 6300 mobile phone is rather lightweight & small mobile phone, no fancy flip up or slider action screens here, just a straight forward ‘candy bar’ style phone. If feels good in your hands, slide it into your top shirt pocket & you would never know its there. It has a brushed aluminum style...
