Previously we brought you a few video previews of the upcoming PR 2.0 Firmware being demoed on a Nokia C7. This new update has received a lot of press lately as its apparently bringing 50+ significant changes to Symbian^3, and fixes many issues a lot of people are reporting with the OS. Well today we’ve brought you another preview, where Nirave takes us through the new firmware on a Nokia N8. Hit the jump to take a look.

Mozilla has announced that its Firefox 4 for Maemo is out of beta and is now available as a release candidate. This release offers faster scrolling, better responsiveness with Firefox Sync and improves the overall user experience of Firefox on your Nokia N900. Check out the video demo after the break along with direct download links.

Here’s an HD video recording comparison between the 12 megapixel Carl Zeiss camera of the Nokia N8 and the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc, which sports an 8.1 megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor. Now although the Nokia N8 has around 4 megapixel more, the test is pretty fair in terms of video recording. Both devices record HD videos at 720p, with in fact, the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc recording at 30 fps compared to the Nokia N8‘s 25 fps. Check out the video after the break.

Check out this video demo at CTIA Wireless 2011 of the Nokia C7 running a full version of BCard Reader, which allows the built in NFC chip on the Nokia C7 to read information from an NFC compatible business card. The app also has some cool features of its own. Video after the break.

Earlier today, Nokia launched the T-Mobile Nokia Astound for the US, which is essentially a re-branded US variant of the Nokia C7, however it does come with a slightly tweaked version of Symbian^3. It’s not quite the PR 2.0 firmware we’ve all been waiting for, but many features from that promised update are present, including the new web browser and portrait on-screen QWERTY keyboard. Hit the jump to check out the very first hands on videos of this device.
