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...

Nokia N95 Mobile Phone

Advantages: easy to use, long battery life, large screen, excellant connectivity very robust
Disadvantages: software glitches, size and weight.

...I have owned the n95 for over 1.5 years now, when i first received it there was some glitches with software etc but all where fixed quickly and with as little hassle as possible. in a day in age when mobile are getting smaller the nokia n95 may way your pocket down slightly But it is sturdy robust and lots of fun. the games available for the handset are great and the connectivity is fantastic, for a large phone the memory is quite small but can be expanded to 8 gig with a very cheap memory card which comes in handy. I use my phone daily at work as plumber meaning i need a phone which is robust and durable, the n95 surpasses my expectations easily, mine has been dropped so many times i cant believe its still going strong, i even dropped it into a newly fitted toilet b4 and only had to dry it out before switching it back on. it includes...

Nokia 6700 Classic Mobile Phone Reviewed

Advantages: It feels solid and robust owing to its slender design and stainless steel construction.
Disadvantages: TFT display of 2.2 inches; 320 x 240 pixels is small for mapping purposes and web browsing

...I received the Nokia 6700 classic (all in black, including keyboard and backplate) as part of an Orange contract upgrade. The main features of the phone can be found on the Nokia website at http://www.nokia.co.uk/find-products/all-phones/nokia-6700-classic so I'll concentrate on the phone as a user. Over the years of owning a number of mobiles ranging from Motorola, Samsung, Philips, Sony Ericsson and Nokia I have generally preferred Nokia, mainly beacuse of the simplicity of the S40 user interface, which is very user friendly and simple in approach. The main points about the Nokia 6700 classic in my opinion are listed below: Good Points It feels solid and robust owing to its slender design and stainless steel construction. The kepad is easy to ease, so too is the navigation button. The built in GPS receiver and maps are...

A Perfect cell by nokia

Advantages: sound,durability
Disadvantages: ear phone sound is low

...Introduction Nokia is a very trustworthy company as most of its mobilephones are durable. N 73 is also a very good product by nokia. It has almost all the features one would desire in a phone.

Nokia N97 - 'The new iPhone'

Advantages: 32gb Internal Memory, Nice Looking, Full QWERTY Keyboard, 5 MP Camera
Disadvantages: A Little Bulky, Price, Small Processer Makes The Phone Slow

... Intro Being the previous owner of a Sony Ericsson w850 for over 2 years, I decided that it was time for a mobile phone upgrade. I had a few different phones in mind, the Apple iPhone, Nokia N97, Nokia 5800 Xpress Music and the HTC Touch Pro, in the end I chose to buy the new Nokia N-Series phone. It was a clear choice over the iPhone because of the price, also you do not have to buy the phone AND pay a monthly contract fee with the N97. Buying The Phone After choosing the phone I decided that I wanted to switch to contract instead of pay as you go. At the time the phone was only available on the Vodafone and Orange networks, but I believe that you can get it on most major networks now. I had previously been with Orange and wasn't too impressed with their service, so I chose Vodafone, they also had better deals for the N97...

Review - The Nokia N97 vs The iPhone 3GS

Advantages: Good Looking, Durable, Huge Memory, Very Very Good QWERTY keyboard
Disadvantages: Tiny processor leading to lag and application crashes

...for people with smaller hands, despite this the N97 looks and feels solid and well made. Unlike the majority of mobile phones which incorporate a QUERTY keyboard into their design, the QUERTY keypad itself is a complete success. Despite the room taken up by a directional pad on the left hand side, the buttons are well spaced, so even those with larger fingers won't end up pressing two or three at the same time. Performance & Interface The N97 has a very satisfying 32GB memory, on top of which can supplemented with a microSD card by a further 64GB. Anyone who is familiar with recent Nokia handsets will be aware of the Symbian S60 OS, which in the N97 has been revised for the fifth time, sadly though, not completely successfully. There has been a noticeable improvement since the N95 and N96, but the reoccurrence of lag...

Review of Nokia N97

Nokias most recent attack on i-phone succes or failure

Advantages: memory
Disadvantages: touchscreen

...as a owner and user of the nokia n97 i can say i am overall very happy with the improvements that nokia have made on previous models i.e N96 and N95. Lets face it all of us who went from owning an N95 to what nokia seem to believe was a better model (N96) were extremely dissapointed as although looking good on paper the N96 failed to meet the standards of its pre- deccesor but i am glad to say nokia have redeemed themselves on the launch of the N97. There have been many improvements made on previous models i.e the processor is alot faster and the slow transitions between menus has been completely iradicated due to the massive 32Gb memory which can still be increased to a huge 48GB by the handy memory slot tucked away under the rear cover of the phone. Another improvement on previous models is the slider mechanism after a few minor issues...

The Nokia N73 - Currently the BEST Mobile Phone

Advantages: The Best Camera in a phone Available, Great Facilities, MiniSD, Huge Screen, Beautiful Design
Disadvantages: Camera lens cover Creaks

...comes in three colour combinations, (Mocha/White, Red/White and Plum/Silver). They all look very nice. I have the Plum/Silver, although I would've preferred the Mocha/White, but my Operator doesn't do that. The design is very minimalist; it is simple, but well done. The front of the phone is dominated by the large, bright and beautiful screen, above it, the name of the phone, (Nokia N73), and the earpiece. Then there is also the front-facing camera for video calling, (it can also be used as a 'mirror' or for fun shots, although it isn't brilliant), and next to that there is also a small light, that blinks for Bluetooth, and also is a light sensor, so that if it is bright, it can dim the keypad backlight to conserve power. The rear of the phone at first appears to withhold nothing, just the button to access the battery/USIM compartment...

Cell from Hell

Advantages: Good Story, entertaining, quick read
Disadvantages: Disappointing ending, not as descriptive as other King novels

... CELL STEPHEN KING I have come to the decision that Stephen King doesn't care much for modern technology-or the people who've created much of what we now rely on for everything in life day to day. In some of his other books, King has created worlds where Man-made viruses wipe out more than 99% of the world's population leaving the survivors facing a battle of biblical proportions. Cars inhabited by evil spirits kill people, or all the cars come alive and take over the world. Machinery devours not only the souls of the workers, but their bodies (or parts of them anyhow) as well. I think maybe he has the soul of a Luddite-albeit a twisted and crazy one. I can just imagine Mr. King in a previous life, gleefully, chopping to bits the machines forced upon mankind during the Industrial Revolution - take that you...

Review of Cell - Stephen King

Nokia 5800 - Overall a very good user experience

Advantages: Good screen, nice features, great for music
Disadvantages: Touch screen misses touches sometimes

...The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic phone is one of Nokia's first attempts at a touch screen handset for the masses. Before its release, many were hoping it would rival the iPhone. Well, what you must understand, before making a purchase of the 5800, is that Nokia are not targetting the iPhone with this particular handset, though they may make their challenge later this year with a different model. The 5800 is a superb touch phone though. It is aimed at those who really like the Nokia user interface and who want their mobile phone primarily for music. This is where the 5800 excels. It is superb for music and movies too. However, in movie playback things can get a little jerky. In addition to the main screen being fully touch sensitive, there is also a touch media button located just above the top right corner of the screen. This gains you quick...
