“Capacitive” Articles

The first thing my wife said to me when she was playing around with the Nokia N8 was that she felt as though it needed a stylus. Maybe this was because she was so used to it on the Nokia N900 I have or maybe some of the aspects of the device aren’t quite as finger friendly as they could be. Well if you feel the same then check out this cracking little accessory which my buddy Devin stumbled upon – The Nokia Capacitive Stylus SU-39.

Nokia has today announced its latest flagship – The Nokia N8. This intuitive device brings Nokia right back into 2010 with the latest features that connect people, places and services that matter most. With the Nokia N8, people can create compelling content, connect to their favorite social networks and enjoy on-demand Web TV programs and Ovi Store apps. Bluetooth 3.0, Symbian^3 OS, HDMI Out, 12 megapixel camera, and the 16:9 3.5″ Capacitive OLED display with multi-touch capabilities is just the tip of the iceberg. Available in select markets during the third quarter of 2010, the estimated retail price of the Nokia N8 is GBP £320, before taxes or subsidies. Hit the jump for more press images.

It sure is raining firmwares, and next up to get its fix is the Nokia X6. Nokia’s most advanced Xseries device has just been bumped up to v20.0.5. Its unclear yet as to whether any new features have been implemented, however we hope that Nokia has applied kinetic scrolling within the menu screens as it did with the Nokia 5800XM in its new v50.0.005 update. The new firmware will gradually make its way round to you over the coming weeks depending on your region and product code. If you have managed to update your Nokia X6, drop a comment after the break and share your experiences.

Lucy Hedges of Stuff Magazine takes a look at Nokia’s most recent Music Flagship device – the Nokia X6. The X6 is the first Nokia device to sport a capacitive touch screen and also brought with it the Xseries branding. But does the X6 have what it takes to impress our Lucy? Check out the episode after the jump.

Nokia has announced a new addition to it’s Xseries line-up. The Nokia X6 now has a 16GB variant that offers all the goodness of the X6 itself minus the Comes with Music service. Although some may see this as ‘nothing new’ remember that 16GB of storage is still quite a lot of space to store your media, and the exclusion of this service will also mean that it will be less strenuous on your back pocket. The Nokia X6 16GB is expected to be available this quarter. More details follow.
