Hell at Ovi – follow the Event live HERE

Jan 21

Posted by Michael Hell in Nokia, Symbian, zfeatured | 3 Comments

We are roughly an Hour away from the Start of the big OVI Event, thats going to take place in different Parts of the World! Some lucky Bloggers are invited to the Events in person, while i’ll follow the whole thing virtually. So far it seems like that as of today, OVI Maps will be free for on-device navigation, similar to Google Maps – thanks CJ for that News! But, as Ricky Cadden over at Symbian-Guru reports: “Unfortunately, as is usual with Nokia’s Ovi announcements, it’s only halfway there – the free premium features are currently only available for 10 of Nokia’s GPS-equipped devices: the Nokia N97 Mini, Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition, Nokia E52, Nokia E55, Nokia E72, Nokia 5230, Nokia 6710 Navigator, Nokia 6730 classic and Nokia X6.” Bummer.

Anyways, i just can’t imagine that all the Fuzz is just for this Announcement, so i’m hoping for more in the course of the short Event. i’ll cover this thing on twitter with the hashtag “hellatovi”, you can check the Live feed right below after the Break of this Post – hopefully for some good News! :)

Here’s how i want my OVI Ads to be!

Jan 20

Posted by Michael Hell in Nokia, Symbian, zfeatured | 1 Comment

You remember all those cool iPhone Ads, and most recently, the Droid Commercials and the totally hilarious Nexus One Videos – made me wonder where the Hell Nokia has been? Well, they’re back now with a bang and produced a VERY nice Video for the wonderful World of the OVI Store. Nowadays you just HAVE to have a cool Appearance, which keeps the Consumer watching. Above mentioned Videos did exactly that, and i’m now hoping Nokia catches up finally and turn Heads again! So without further ado, here’s the wonderful World of the OVI Store – i like this Video/Advertisement/Wake-up Call!

N82 or N86 8MP? Let CJ answer that!

Jan 19

Posted by Michael Hell in Nokia, Symbian, zfeatured | 4 Comments

One of the most discussed Questions going around the Nokia Blogosphere Scene (besides of “Is the N900 worth the Money?”) is the ongoing Question of: Which is better – Nokia N82, with it’s 5 MP Carl Zeiss Banger and Xenon Goodness, or the newer Nokia N86 8MP, equipped with a 8 Megapixel Carl Zeiss Camera and 3rd Gen. Dual LED Flash? Well, since i didn’t use the N86 8MP yet, i can’t give a proper Judgement about that, but my Friend CJ, over on Zomg its CJ can! He posted a HUGE, very well done Comparison Review, with Lots of different Pictures in different Environment. As CJ stated in his Post: Because seriously, if this doesnt help you make a decision between the two, we dont know what will.

The Result? Oh nooo, i won’t spoil this one! Grab a cup of coffee, take a bit of time, judge for yourself and let CJ know what you think! Was he right in his Conclusion!? What do you think is the better one? N82 or N86 8MP? Dual Led or Xenon!?

(Picture credit goes, of course, to CJ!)

My Phone of the Year 2009 is.. (Part2)

Jan 5

Posted by Michael Hell in Android, HTC, Maemo, Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Symbian, zfeatured | 42 Comments

Continuing from my first Part of the My Phone of the Year 2009, i wanna give you a quick heads-up of what went down yesterday so far, here are the ranks from 9 to 6:

??

  • No.9 – Sony Ericsson Satio: a bug-infected SE handset with a great camera that sometimes appeared to have more issues than features.

  • No.8 – Nokia 5800XM: i already got a lot of response to this decision, keep in mind that this is based on my personal tastes and experiences, my choices might not go along with your thoughts, and they’re not supposed to do that. anyways, the 5800XM, despite having the best stereo speakers i’ve ever heard gave me a world of troubles, spanning from damaged speakers and display to a totally useless homescreen (unless you get some 3rd party app help).

  • No.7 – HTC/T-Mobile G1: The first ever google phone has sparked this Android love in me really well, resulting in eventually abandoning Symbian OS. But unfortunately the G1 was relatively unspectacular. Camera, Speakers, Battery Life .. nothing to really write a book about.

  • No.6 – Nokia N97: a feature-packed mobile computer, which some hate to death and some praise as Nokia’s savior. i’m kinda stuck in the middle. while i liked the form factor with its extremely solid slider hinge and the overall features, i found the keyboard to be extremely annoying, resistive touchscreen is a matter of taste (i’m clearly against it) and RAM/phone memory issues that shouldn’t be found on a flagship device, right?

So much for the End of my List, but now let’s find out who’s on top, shall we!? :)

My Phone of the Year 2009 is.. (Part1)

Jan 5

Posted by Michael Hell in Android, HTC, Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Symbian, zfeatured | 14 Comments

?? First of, sorry for not doing any Happy New Year Post – the reason is simple and very easy to understand, i almost completely took off from all the Internet Fuzz. I have spend a very nice evening with my half-sister in vienna, after that 4 straight days with my beloved girlfriend :) I enjoyed those days very very much and so did my girl! Still i wanna take a second and wish you the very best for 2010. i hope you had some great days and may all your wishes come true in this new year!

2 Days before the end of 2009, Friend of the Site, James Whatley has published a new Post over on the highly recommendable The Really Mobile Project-Blog called “My Phone of the Year“. The result of his thoughts were very interesting and surprised a lot of us, but at the same time, James’ points were very reasonable and actually gave the feeling he was right – if you wanna find out which Phone rocked James the most in 2009, head over to the Really Mobile Project and read on! Parts of this Post are taken from my Reply i did on TRMP, but i felt like doing a list on my own, and additionally tweaking it a bit. my list will be about Phones i have used in 2009, not judging by their actual Sales Dates! Ready? Let’s go..

Sony Ericsson Satio Review – Hardware

Dec 3

Posted by Michael Hell in Sony Ericsson, Symbian, zfeatured | 1 Comment

DSC015131It’s 2 Weeks now, since the friendly People from the Sony Ericsson Press agreed to send over a Device, which i really looked forward to get into my Hands finally – The Sony Ericsson Satio! Why? Well, this is Sony Ericsson’s first ever Device to run on S60 5th Edition OS. It’s Sony Ericsson’s first Device featuring a 12 Megapixel Cybershot Camera. This is also the first Time that the S60 5th Edition gets a nice Overhaul of the rather useless Homescreen.

There is a Lot of Features being present the first Time, Lots of Stuff to try out. I used this Device as my daily Main Device, in Order to find out if the Promises are fullfilled, how this Phone behaves in daily Usage, finding out the Do’s and Don’t of the Sony Ericsson Satio. I’m going to start off my final Report with an Overview of the Hardware, so grab a Cup of Coffee and read on!

Posted by Michael Hell in Nokia, Symbian | 13 Comments

News from the nokia human research department!I just got this surprising Package from my good Friends of WOM World Nokia, thank you guys, with a USB Stick in it – which comes directly from the Nokia Human Research Department. Nokia has apparently done some good Research before they unleashed one of it’s latest Devices to Mankind, the Nokia N97mini. And the Department has done their Job well, as the Reaction to the mini is overall very positive, from throughout the Blogosphere! The Videos also contain the Debut of a brand new Nokia Ringtone, mariachi-like, which i love! Check out the Videos AND download the Ringtone after the Break! ;)
