The Phones Show 65 (Samsung Tocco, Xenon, Nokia N79)

[mogs1981]

bought the tocco 2day

its a pretty good 4n but was let down

by the camera quality

[stevelitchfield]

N82. Less toys, but faster graphics and far better camera.

[elphau]

Can N79 play youtube video directly with its in built browser?? Thank you

[stevelitchfield]

Yes, all modern S60 phones can. Flash Lite 3 is built-in, etc.

[elphau]

thanks for the clarification.

[stevelitchfield]

Get a second hand N82 then.

[yahyaskulls94]

yeah, but n79 is kinda out of my range so i'm gonna have to wait so do u know if n78 will do just the exception of camera or should i really wait for n79?

[stevelitchfield]

I haven't been impressed by anything from LG so far...... Haven't played with this model though...

[yahyaskulls94]

I was going to get N78, but now i'm confused in n78 or n79 which one has the better music quality and loudness as compared to w810 (which i own) and n81?

[stevelitchfield]

Go for N79. Or, better, N82. Or N96.

[stevelitchfield]

Both pretty rubbish devices, to be honest. Go for the Sony Ericsson C905? Or Nokia N82? Or wait for a better iPhone?

[dancfc13]

i really do h8 the iphone i love the samsung tocco im getting it has it got a good camera and touchscreen

[stevelitchfield]

Eh? The iPhone's MILES better than the Tocco... apart from the camera, but the Tocco's camera isn't as good as those in the good Nokias....

[dancfc13]

no way the tocco is miles!!!!!!!!!btter than the i phone iphone is terrible im not the only 1 hoo thinks tht wel its my opinion

[hyperdriveguitar]

Which is better the N79 or N82?

[stevelitchfield]

Both great...

[stevelitchfield]

Glad someone likes it! It's not that bad, in truth, but the N79 is better....

[stevelitchfield]

I think I said C905.

[stevelitchfield]

Different form factors for different purposes.

[Nearman]

steve about the N79:

"for the man in the street it looks like a phone, wich is sometimes very important"

why is that?

[stevelitchfield]

Try holding a larger slab up to your ear when making a call... even the iPhone looks a bit wierd for long periods.

[vastenmielinen]

N96 is on sale ,when will u discuss it ?

looking forward to ..

-and keep up the good work !

( maybe gonna be n85.. and 5800 xpress next too ? )

[gavrilaeugen]

y have a n95 8 gb should y buy an n82 or not ?

[stevelitchfield]

Works for me. It's just a bit slow, it seems.

[bermudaiv]

Steve, Would you be able to do a more extended version of a review on the new N Series trio, the N96, N85 and the N79? The N96 and the new N85 seem very much the same. I was hoping your insight and review might help me choose.

Cheers.

[stevelitchfield]

Yes, I'll touch on the N85/N96 issue in the next show....

[stevelitchfield]

Let me just gaze into my crystal ball....

[stevelitchfield]

Er.... Nokia E71?

[polo99a9]

i have the n82, and i prefer it over the n95 because:

-xenon flash- great pictures all the time

-there are no moving parts- the slider is a vurnable thing on a phone, and even more, the foil that contains the circuits. even so the 6110 navi has the best slider of all nokia

-the screen is protected by transparent plastic cover- if you pres againts the n95's screen, the imige is "bending"

idealy: it could use a touch screen, LED(s), plastic cover for the flash.

great phone. great show

[gosekinz]

Xenon flash is highly desirable.. but would I compromise on megapixels for it? No.

Dual LED might be good enough why oh why can't we have both? One for stills and one for video.

Steve I'd really like a comparison of the Samsung i8510 vs the N96 at some stage.

Cheers

[b0nes2]

Just what I was going to post. Have LED for video and xenon for stills. My N82 has a red led for video, for what reason I don't know.
