Nokia N8 releasing in a few weeks says Dolby


The long wait for the Nokia N8 looks like coming to an end in just a few weeks. That’s when Dolby, the guys behind the N8’s surround sound skills told one site that the Symbian^3 device will be arriving – just in time for Nokia World 2010.

Nokia fans have been waiting very patiently for what looks like being one of Nokia’s best, most feature-packed smartphones to date. While we don’t yet have a fixed date for the N8, the guys at Dolby, who developed the Dolby Digital Plus Surround Sound feature of the N8 told gadget site Electricpig here in London that the N8 will be arriving mid-September.

That puts the N8 squarely in line with this year’s Nokia World 2010 event, which takes place between September 14-15, in, you’ve guessed it – London! Was it obvious all along?

The Nokia N8 is Nokia’s first to run the overhauled Symbian^3 operating system. It has a 12-megapixel camera, 16GB internal memory, HDMI output, can shoot 720p high definition video, and Dolby Digital Plus Surround Sound when connected to a television with a compatible 5.1 surround sound speaker set-up. Not long to wait now.

Thanx to Nok Nok Dot Tv

Ovi Store On Nokia N8


The website symbianfrance submitted a video, in which you can see the work of the new Ovi Store 2.0, which is a set of preinstalled applications on the Nokia N8. Video, in fact is below .
Recall that the Nokia N8 – a new flagship of Nseries from the Finnish company Nokia. This smartphone runs on the operating system Symbian ^ 3, and its equipment includes a 3.5-inch touchscreen display with a resolution of 360 x 640 pixels, 12 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and Xenon flash, support for third-generation networks, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0 (+ EDR), built-in navigation system with support A-GPS, battery with 1200 mAh.

Silverlight for Bing App N8

Download here
"Silverlight, a cross-browser, cross-platform implementation of the .NET Framework for building media experiences and rich interactive applications for the Web on desktop computers, is now available for Nokia S60 5th Edition devices such as Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, Nokia N97 and Nokia N97 Mini."

Well, finally Microsoft released Silverlight for Nokia S60 5th edition smarpthones, and with the release of Silverlight comes the Bing Application based on Silverlight as you might guess. What exactly Silverlight means for the Nokia S60 5th edition smartphone owners, I am not sure, but I personally do not have some craving for Silverlight just for the fact that Silverlight is not used on many websites and the one's that use it, are orbiting very closely to Microsoft.

The upside of this is that now you will be able to view Silverlight content right from your Nokia S60 browser, which is a big plus. Other than that and the new Bing application, currently I don't see other uses for Silverlight on my Nokia N97, but this might be just for now. Who knows, maybe in time as more and more people start developing apps and content using Silverlight, I might be not as skeptical as I am now.

How To Edit Photo In Nokia N8

Control the Nokia N8 with a Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard



Nokia N8 is coming to the stores next month and the whole marketing actions will start soon. here is another proof what the N8 is capable of.

As you can see in the video, you can pair and control the N8 with a Nokia BT keyboard: Nokia SU-8W and a BT mouse. just imagine what you can do, when you connect it to a TV ot monitor via HDMI... :-)

i think, there are other BT devices possibble to pair as long as they're compatible with that bluetooth stack. we'll see, when the N8 is actually available.

Nokia N8 connected with 250GB hard drive


One of Nokia N8’s coolest feature is USB On-The-Go, which lets you connect USB peripherals to the N8 and allows you then to access the data on the flash drive or hard drive. At an preview-event in Vienna, Nokia representatives connected the Nokia N8, which is about two months away from release, to a 250GB hard drive. Some of you may ask why one would need such a feature and especially 250GB of storage. One good example is a two week trip during which you have no computer in order to save all those HD videos and 12 megapixel pictures. With this USB On-The-Go feature you can easily, with an USB-to-USB adapter cord, transfer your data both ways.

Reasons why I should wait for Nokia N8

These recent days there are lots of tempting news and rumours. Some of them are enough to break the patience of the people who are waiting for Nokia N8. But well, I have lists of mine that I keep thinking when the time that nerdgasms enters my mind and try to eliminate my excitement for N8.

I like Nokia N8 so much and that’s:

* Because N8 is the first Nokia phone to have a 12 MP and also it is the successor for the N86 and N82. N8 CameraWith Xenon attached on N8, night shots would be never a problem anymore. We should not also forget on how Carl Zeiss added the superb optics flavour in N82 and that’s why it became legendary camera phone of Nokia. This is getting more exciting in the new N8 because of the reduced Xenon flash and a more promising Carl Zeiss optics. Now I will not worry for cropping the image and printing it to large materials.

* Because it will record and play HD videos. Aside from crisp photos, we will get also a video recording capabilities in HD!

* Because N8 has the biggest camera sensor from the field of camera phones and other compact cameras. An astonishing 1/1.8″ Sensor. It has also a 1.75µm pixel size which gives better performance in low light. The bigger and the larger in numbers means better. These are how the 12MP will be useful.

* Because it is Symbian^3 and you will actually notice that the home screen are similar to the Symbian^1 inForum Nokia N97 and N97 mini. The cool stuff here is we will get 4 homescreen on the new N8. Plus adding more to excitement is the new UI on the phone. I saw the gallery and editing features and I was really amazed on the changes and the speed is noticeably have improved on N8.

* Because this is cool, the USB OTG! Another thing is the way that N8 can make our usb sticks and storage a slave. I don’t need to transfer my files on the computer before reaching the N8. I can also just add movies and songs directly to N8 from a USB drive.

* Because HD tvs and projectors are everywhere and I can finally stream or play high quality videos in the big screens.

* Because I always watch TV. I’m really an avid subscriber of National Geographic and CNN and I am really happy with the new features of N8. I can bring N8 anywhere and watch my favorite channels. Of course, this will be more exciting because of the OLED screen of Nokia N8.

* Because I can’t pick the right color for me until now. I can’t pick on what exact color to get on Nokia nokia n8 smartphone 157x118 Reasons why I should wait for Nokia N8N8 and this is a big problem yet fun! All colors are really attractive and the more I wait the more I rattle in choosing the right color for me. Anodized materials offers comfy feelings in my hands and giving more durability. But here’s a dark grey N8 gallery.

* Because of my gaming capabilities. My first Nseries devices was N81 and I bought it with the reason I love gaming. Ngage 2.0 was good but it will be better if it will be put in a device with a fast and powerful hardwares and N8 has the future. I really love watching tires rubbing to the concrete of highways.

* Because it is affordable. I mentioned lots of cool features of N8 and yet the price of N8 is really affordable! Who can imagine that all these features with a price tag of 370 Euro (before taxes and subsidies).

That’s the few things why I like N8 and love to wait for it. I hope some of you have the same sentiment on mine. lols.

Nokia N8 review: First look

The Nokia N8 is probably Nokia's most anticipated handset to date and we got our hands on a prototype at NYC's Dolby Labs to see exactly how amazing the Finnish manufacturer's smartphone really is.

It may seem a little strange that the viewing was hosted by Dolby, but it becomes quite clear when you see that the N8 is primarily a smartphone (of course) but with a strong leaning toward being a multimedia powerhouse.

A few journalists/pundits got to see - and touch - a number of very early N8 prototypes. Not everything worked at peak performance yet, as expected with early hardware and software. But the video worked just fine.

We all watched a number of movie trailers coming from the N8, all with Dolby surround sound encoding (you knew they had to be involved with the phone in some manner). That was very, very impressive, as was the video quality and the audio playback.

Here's a quick sample video showing the N8 connected to an HD TV via the included HDMI adapter:

For those who don't know, the N8 will be the first device to run on Nokia/Symbian's next-generation operating system dubbed Symbian ^3.

We have no idea how to pronounce the ^ if you're saying that out loud.

At first glance it looked a lot like the last Symbian operating system with some N900 features thrown in for good measure. We'll know a lot more when we get to see a final release version of the phone.

The Nokia N8 looks like a thinner version of the company's Maemo OS-powered N900 smartphone, except the N900 has a real, hardware QWERTY keyboard and the N8's is the virtual type.

There's also a bit of iPhone-esque thought in here too. The N8 is the first Nokia device we can recall equipped with a battery that cannot be swapped out by the user. It also lacks physical send and end keys, a design attribute not common to Nokia handsets.

The N8 is a true GSM world phone. It will work on any GSM network on the planet, whether 2G or 3G.

Nokia says the handset is capable of delivering as much as 12 hours of battery life (from the 1200mAh unit inside) via GSM connections and nearly 6 hours on 3G. If that's true, and battery life approaches that of its E72, then this would be a very strong selling point for the new phone.

New Nokia N8 720p HD Video Sample

Ahmed360 has shown a new Nokia N8 sample video which I've uploaded to YouTube. This video gives us a realistic representation of the quality that we can expect from the Nokia N8, whereas the sample video uploaded by Nokia was filmed in excellent conditions using professional gear.

Coming from someone who has used an Omnia HD and Vivaz, the HD video looks comparable (maybe a bit better) to what is currently available on the market today -- is that a good or a bad thing?
