The long awaited release of Nokia’s new N8 is almost upon us. Showcasing the brand’s new Symbian ^3 operating system, the Nokia N8 has a vast array of features that will tempt even the most dedicated Apple iPhone fan. At the forefront of the huge list of features offered by the N8 is a twelve megapixel camera with a Carl Zeiss lens and full 720p HDMI support for the recording and playback of home made videos. After recording and editing your movies via the handset’s on board software editing suite, you will be able to playback your movies in the comfort of your home by using a non-standard cable connected to your television, but what makes it more special is the ability to output Dolby surround sound through the HDMI cable also. A standout feature of the Nokia N8 is the large 3.5″ LCD display. It will support a resolution of 640 x 360 widescreen and will be able to display up to 16.7 million colors. Along with the touch screen system, it will also contain a compass, a proximity sensor, an ambient light detector and an accelerometer. The new Nokia N8 is certainly able to compete directly with the likes of the iPhone and Blackberry, with it’s mass of downloadable content from the Ovi Store in the form of widgets and applications, most notably in the shape of Web TV. Using Web TV the user can view movies available from providers such as National Geographic, E! Entertainment, CNN and Paramount. To summarize, the Nokia N8 promises to deliver the customer a very convincing rival of either the popular iPhone or Blackberry, containing features that bring it right to the forefront of modern mobile phone technology. Once it is released, there will be nothing to stop it helping Nokia maintain their status as the biggest mobile phone manufacturer on the planet.

The Motorola Droid 2 is an upgrade that was based from the ground-breaking Android powered Droid. If you expected to see a huge list of additions to this new deivce then think again. In fact, many phone enthusiasts consider the release of the Droid 2 as an attempt by Motorola to stabilize its price. This is not to say that the phone is a bad one- however, Motorola let the opportunity of upgrading the Droid’s slide-out keyboard pass.
Although they look very similar in style, the Droid 2 does have a slightly different look to it. Because of the chrome frame around the top of the Droid 2, consumers can easilly differentiate the two. Operationally, the slide-out keyboard has been incorporated with individual directional buttons unlike the square toggle that was in the first Droid. The four navigation buttons have been rearranged to Menu, Home, Back, Search from Back, Menu, Home and Search and there are minor differences in the implementation of the Android 2.2.
The Droid’s impressive camera has been drastically improved to a widescreen 5 MP that fits more images in the frame. Unlike many other high MP cameras, this one stays focused when shots are taken indoors, with or without the flash. Outdoor photos come out crisp and colorful. However, indoor shots tend to come out grainier while outdoor photo colors are not true as they tend to bias towards the blue end of the spectrum. Rather than high-def video recording, the most surprising shortcoming of the Droid 2 is the WVGA. Video details are fuzzy especially when they are viewed on a standard PC.
Users who prefer a physical QWERTY keyboard may be falsely attracted by the Droid 2. Motorola improved the slide-out QWERTY keyboard from the flat, flush keys in the original to humped ones. However, you will still need to press hard for action as they still have little feedback or spring. Moreover, you are bound to spend more time editing as the thumbs will fly over the widescreen QWERTY. If your main focus is speed, then this is the phone for you, as its keyboard is made for speed. However, if you are looking for accuracy, you will not love this keyboard.
Like the original, the Droid 2 has a crisp and colorful display. It also has a Blockbuster app but lacks any of the video offerings from MobiTV or Verizon. The phone’s widescreen makes viewing side-loaded movies great. However, the Droid X with its 4.3-inch screen, will be a better choice if you are looking for a Droid as a PMP. The original Droid problem of not resuming the last music you left of when switching between multimedia apps has been solved in the Droid 2. While conversations are loud and clear in the Droid 2, listeners on the other end may hear some form of muddiness coming through. Because the long, thin speaker is located on the back of the device, sound quality forthe speakerphone and multimedia listening might not be to your liking.
The Motorola Droid 2 battery is of the same size like the first Droid but does more; it has nearly 10 hours of talk time. The battery can last nearly 2 days with W-Fi and Bluetooth running, picture-taking and sharing, Web surfing and semi-regular phone calling before it may need recharging. However, connecting to 3G hot spots will drain the battery faster. With Motorola Droid 2 accessories, you can customize the phone to your specification. You can replace the 8GB memory cards with higher capacity ones, replace your chargers and adapters, get different cases among others. The Motorola Droid 2 holster has a reasonably solid spring clip. However, the phone has a flaw that causes the battery cover to easily slip off.
