nokia 5800 xpressmusic live hands on 10 Live Review: Nokia 5800 XpressMusicThe Symbian Smartphones Show 2008 gave us an opportunity to photograph and examine Nokia’s first S60 Touch UI device, the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. Mikko Röntynen, Head of S60 Customer Spearhead Projects, Mobile Software Sales and Marketing, Nokia, gave me a hand and guided me throughout the features of their hopeful “iPhone-killer”.
Apple has surely made a breakthrough endeavour in the mobile world with their iPhone. It wasn’t long before most manufacturers stole the idea and came up with their own products. Even though there any much better devices than the iPhone, with the same exact design, being the first in the market has its benefits. Nokia is definitely the last in the market, and if it wants to take the crown home, it will need some serious candy for the consumer.
Almost 18 months have passed since the iPhone made it to the market, and now, Nokia has gathered all its technological and marketing strength, and introduced the 5800 to the public. Besides featuring a 3.2″ touchscreen with 360×640 pixels of resolution, the device has a 3.2 megapixel camera with a dual LED flash, a motion sensor which will provide much of the needed futuristic controls and fulfil the “Touch” moto, Bluetooth 2.0, WLAN, HSDPA, built-in A-GPS, a TV-out, 3.5mm au
diovisual jack, and on the technical side, it will run on 128MB of RAM, incorporate a ARM 11 369 MHz CPU, and it will be based on the brand new S60 5th edition software platform.

Although it provides a better experience than the iPhone in the specifications field, it is ranked under some of its competitors, the Samsung Omnia for example.

The true weapon of the 5800 isn’t features. It’s marketing, just like Apple’s weapon.
Nokia will provide the Comes with Music campaign to its consumers. Whoever purchased the 5800 under this campaign, will be offered free music downloads for an entire year, and be able to keep the music forever.

As this was a live review that was conducted in less than half an hour, you won’t be provided with the same level of detail that you are used to getting from us. I will approach the hardware side, and hover over the software perspective.
The 5800 isn’t very photogenic, but at live, it’s an absolute beauty, pretty much like most touchscreen-only phones. It measures 111 x 51.7 x 15.5 mm, larger than the N95 8GB, Nokia’s flagship, which stands at 99 x 53 x 21 mm, although it is thicker and wider than the 5800.

The 5800 does not include a keyboard of any sort, instead, it has there keys below its display, opposed to the N95 8GB’s 13 keys.
The 5800′s keyboard is on-screen, with many options, such as full QWERTY in landscape mode, Mini-QWERTY in portrait mode, alphanumeric, and handwriting recognition. The one that best suited me was the full QWERTY, due to the sheer size, which provides great usability, as I had found in the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet, which provided the same functionality.

On top of the display, both phones have a camera intended for video calls, an ambience light sensor which regulates display backlight, and an ear speaker. The 5800 has a touch button right next to the “XpressMusic” word. The button evokes the multimedia bar.
Having a “hidden” button not only makes the user feel that it’s part of the device, but it also saves space. In this case, it fits in the concept, because it is near the touchscreen.

On the bottom of the 5800 there is a microphone only, while the N95 8GB has the charging point, microphone, miniUSB port, and the lanyard hole.

Unlike the N95 8GB, the 5800 has most of its ports at the top. You can find the on/off/profile button, charging point, the 3.5mm audiovisual jack, and the microUSB port; while on the N95 8GB only the on/off/profile button is present.
The 3.5mm jack is definitely well-located, the top section of electronic devices is the favourite amongst the general public for the port, especially when the device is intended to stay inside one’s pocket, or even when one is holding the phone, so that the cable does not interfere with one’s hands. Wireless headphones, such as the ones implementing Bluetooth technology, will surely replace wired ones in the near future.
You won’t need to reach for the profile button to change the profile, such function can be executed by simply tapping on the profile name on the desktop view.

The 5800′s microUSB port is easy to open, and does not need fingernails to help with the process.

The left side of the 5800 has 2 ports: one for the SIM card, which is quite uncommon, and for the microSD slot.
The 5800 comes with an included 8GB microSD memory card. Its competitors come with 16GB of built-in memory, while Nokia’s latest flagship, the N96, comes with 16GB of built-in memory. The 5800 is definitely behind in this sense.
The N95 8GB has one of the speakers on the left side, the 3.5mm audiovisual jack, and the infrared port. I cannot argue that the 3.5mm jack is placed wrongly as I have used it for an entire year without any problems whatsoever, it does not interfere with my hands, or bother me when it is inside my pocket.
nokia n95 8gb vs 5800 xpressmusic live 6 Live Review: Nokia 5800 XpressMusic
The right side of the N95 8GB has the camera button, which has the autofocus switch as well, the “last gallery item” button, the volume rocker, and one of the speakers.
The 5800 also has the camera button with the autofocus switch, the unlock switch and the volume rocker.
Although the “last gallery item” button is pressed by mistake very often on my N95. It is nevertheless a useful key in my phone to take me directly to the latest image or video. It has been unfortunately depleted in recent S60 devices.
The material chosen for the keys on the 5800 feels cheaper than the ones on the N95 8GB. The choice was made to stay in line with the 5800′s design, it is a simple aesthetic issue that might have very small insignificant ergonomic problems.
The unlock switch is slightly different than the ones on the N91, N81, and N96. It is more comfortable due to the grip bars, and its size makes it even easier to use.

The back cover has an embossed Nokia logo on it, as well as the camera and flash covers. As you remove the cover, you notice the naked LED flash and the very small camera sensor, which has a Carl Zeiss lens. You can also remove the stylus from the small opening on the left bottom corner of the phone.
The way the logo is printed, is once again, a well done aesthetic detail.
I am very curious whether the camera, being that small (focal length of only 3.7mm), will fulfil the needs of someone who is used to camera-phones such as the N82, N95, K850i, and other camera-focused devices.

The 5800 has a 1320mAh battery, having slightly more capacity than the N95 8GB’s 1200mAh battery. The large display will eat up a large portion of the battery power, while it is known that connectivity options such as WLAN, HSDPA, and GPS are great battery drainers as well. The minimum battery a smartphone of today needs is 1500mAh, in order last an entire day with use of most of the functions.

On the software side, I wasn’t able to take screenshots simply due to the lack of time at the event. I was able to note that the Gallery has been modified; the Maps application does not go on landscape mode unfortunately; and that image and video editing are more intuitive and attractive as an application, but there isn’t great change in the functions.

Settings have been added and modified as well. You can now personalize with what application each filetype is opened with, for example, a landmark can be chosen to open with Maps, or any other third-party program.

Tactile feedback is enabled through small amounts of vibration. This is obviously not localized, but while haptic localized forms of feedback do not arrive for touchscreen devices, this function actually let’s the user know whether he has pressed a key or not, and does not become annoying unlike the keypad beeps.

Adaptive search was perhaps the most ingenious function to be included in the Contacts application, from what I managed to find in the phone. The phone only displays the letters that are possible to be searched for. For example, let’s say you have the following two contacts “Alex Calva”, and “Edward Umana”. The application will show you a keyboard with four letters “A”, “C”, “E”, and “U”. If you press “A”, it will show you “l”, and “C”. It reduces the letters, and simplifies the method of getting to a contact. The video below, by Mikko Röntynen, Head of S60 Customer Spearhead Projects, Mobile Software Sales and Marketing, Nokia, demonstrates the use of the function:
You can expect our fully-fledged review to come soon as we will be able to get hold of the device in its commercial software version, ready for the market. For the meanwhile, delight yourself with the following image, which I was able to capture at the end of the event:
One of the latest inventions in
the field of light emitting devices
might change the way people
light their homes and design
clothes. The device represents a
thin film of plastic able to
conduct electricity and create
solar power.
Scientists working on the
international project are looking
forward to bring the organic
light emitting devices to the
masses. Thus the invention could
significantly cut costs by billions
of dollars each year.
Due to the fact that the organic
light emitting devices are very
thin and flexible, electronic
display screens could be easily
created on nearly every material,
thus, for example, clothing
could, for the first time in
history, display specific electronic
information.
There are various ways of using
the this OLED, like for example
change the color of clothes, beer
can would be able to display
various sports results. In addition
the OLED is much more efficient
than the light bulb used today.
Currently these devices are
applied in mobile phones and
MP3 players. However, such
OLED is not quite reliable for
large TV or computer screens.
In order to make the device
more efficient so later to launch
it to mass market, the
international consortium of
researches, Modecom, headed
by the University of Bath, United
Kingdom, started a three-year
project which will cost about
$1,700,000.
Modecom comprises 13 groups
from 9 universities and two
companies. There are three
groups from the United
Kingdom, six groups from the
United States and one group
from China and one each from
three European countries
including Belgium, Italy and
Denmark. Only the European
countries and China will receive
financial aid from the European
Union.
The coordinator of Modecom is
Dr Alison Walker, who
represents the Department of
Physics of the University of Bath.
“This is a long-term project, and
the contributions of many
scientists are needed for its
success … Success in achieving
the goals of cheap, efficient and
long lasting devices is essential as
we must do everything we can to
reduce our energy costs,” he
stated.One of the latest inventions in

Panasonic appears to be so eager to let the world know about two more additions to their Micro Four Thirds collection, they’ve leaked photos of their own cameras to the web. Say hello to the Panasonic G2 and G10.
The photos are no longer available on Panasonic’s website. Apparently, they were accidentally published a tad to early, but someone was paying attention and now they’re everywhere. The Internet is a beautiful thing.
At first glance, I wouldn’t have guessed these cameras to be Micro Four Thirds models, as that’s the lens mount system these cameras have. They look more like DSLRs, albeit baby DSLRs, but that’s part of what makes Micro Four Thirds camera what it is: a compact body with a DSLR soul.
Their measurements also reveal a MFT frame as well. The G2 weighs 13.09-ounces (body only) and measures in at 4.88 x 3.29 x 2.91-inches. The G10 should have identical dimensions but it weighs a bit less at 11.85-ounces (body only).
There are some specs floating around the web, and since there hasn’t been an official announcement yet, they’re all debatable and some sites are now questioning their authenticity. But here’s what Photo Rumors had to say: both the G2 and the G10 will have 12.1-megapixel sensors, touchscreen displays with touch shutter options and an ISO range from 100 to 6,200.
Differences come down recording modes, as the G2 will carry AVCHD Lite, while the G10 will shoot motion JPEGs. The G2 also has a 3-inch flip-out screen, as pictured above. It also looks like the G10 will have HDMI output, as the G2 doesn’t have anything on it, but again that information could change.
Again, we won’t know anything official until March 7 probably, as that’s when Panasonic has some kind of announcement already scheduled.
Specifications of the upcoming Panasonic G2 and G10 cameras have surfaced online. Apparently the specs were revealed in an accidental leak, and the page was pulled off, but we’ve managed to find a page listing the specs of both cameras (which still works at time of writing). The common specifications for both these cameras include:
* 12 effective megapixels with 17.3×13mm sensor (in 4:3 aspect ratio)
* 3-inch LCD monitor with 460k pixels – touchscreen – free angle (rotate/twist)
* ISO 100 to 6400
* 144-zone multi-pattern metering (intelligent multiple, center weight, spot)
* metering range EV 0-18 (f2, ISO 100)
* focal-plane shutter 1/4000 to 0 seconds, and bulb up to 4 minutes
* RAW, RAW+JPEG, JPEG
* Color space: sRGB, Adobe RGB
* Contrast AF (AFS, AFC, MF)
* AF assist light
* supersonic wave filter
* color temperature 2500 to 10000K
* exposure compensation: in 1/3, +/- 3EV
* AEB (3,5 or 7 frames) in 1/2 or 2/3 EV
* monaural microphone
* speaker
* same body size (different weight)
* SilkyPix Developer Studio 3.1 SE, PhotoFunStudio 5.0 HD edition
* optional remote control with bulb function (DMW-RSL1)
