“Hands On” Articles

Rafe Blanford of All About Symbian takes an in-depth look at Nokia’s most recently shipped device, the Nokia E7 Communicator, in this lengthy hands-on video review. The review focuses on the hardware, especially the QWERTY keyboard, but also cover some elements of the Symbian^3 software and Ovi services that powers the device. Hit the jump and take a look.

This gaming comparison video puts the Nokia N8 up against Google’s Nexus S in a battle to see which performs best at Need For Speed Shift. The latter sports a 4″ (480 x 800 pixels), Super AMOLED display compared to the Nokia N8‘s 3.5″ (360 x 640 pixels) nHD AMOLED. I must say the colours seem much more vibrant on the Google Nexus S. Check out the video after the break.

Check out this short video comparison of the Nokia E7 and the HTC Desire Z. Both devices feature a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard using two completely unique mechanisms. I personally prefer the slide and tilt mechanism of the Nokia E7 as it also provides a better viewing angle of the screen. But what do you think? Check out the video after the break and share your thoughts in the comments.

It was only last week when we brought you the first unboxing video of the Nokia E7, which incidentally is the first Symbian^3 powered Eseries to add to Nokia’s business centric portfolio. Well, PhoneArena have managed to get their hands on a prototype, and have put together a 14 minute video preview which is well worth the watch. Check out the video after the break.

Previously we’ve seen a Nokia remotely control many things, from Niko – The LEGO Robot to the AR Drone, just some examples of what creative developers have managed to get their Nokia handset to do. Well check out this video after the break, where An Jiaxuan and a friend take control of a real BMW 1 Series using the Nokia C7. Its not the technology… Its what you do with it…
