The Bench
-- I sent this from my 3 mobile --
(When I got back, straightened it with Piknik, and also notched the saturation up 2 ticks - no other processing - basically as it came out the phone.)
Nokia is bringing out the Nokia N8 later this year with a camera on it to beat most compacts - 12megapixel with a sensitive 1.75 micron pixel 1/1.83'' sensor, the largest sensor ever used in a mobile. As a result I thought I should find out what I can do with my current 3 year old Nokia N95 8GB with 5 megapixel Carl Zeiss lens phone and how to post to Flickr and Twitter remotely - works well ....! Despite the fact that I was seriously thinking of going Android, having been a fan of Nokia for many years, the camera on the new N8 could just sway me to stay with Nokia. It appears that some of the FANTASTIC functions of the spate of super-smart-phones is overheating and battery damage as a result of having very fast processors. So, I have delayed a decision - can Nokia come up trumps?
The N95 has been fantastic as a phone, and is also a bit geeky, but does everything I want as a handy cameraphone, browse the web, automatic podcast wifi downloads overnight, Audible books, excellent stereo speakers, standard headphone socket meaning I can use MY headphones, super camera, BBC iplayer, free Nokia maps with free satnav, Skype, Google Maps, push Google email, ebook reader - basically nothing I want to do is missing. The N8 takes that into a really hi-spec realm. I believe that the cameras on most Android phones, (and the iphone4, for that matter), are far worse than this Nokia N8 is predicted to be, and Nokia seem to take the camera element of the phone really seriously (and always have done).
