Nokia E7 and HDMI-out to 110 Inches Screen

 
Like the Nokia N8, the Nokia E7 has a HDMI out. Connect up your E7 and you can show whatever is on the E7′s screen on the bigger TV or projector screen. Oddly not all phones can do this. Some can just show media if any. Nokia’s TV out gives you a portable PC like experience of hooking up to a “monitor”, whether it be the browser, the menu, music player, photos or video player.
Watching movies is particularly great since you’ve got 720p playback with Dolby Digital Plus surround sound. With the USB to Go feature, you can connect a hard drive full of media to be played back via the E7.
Here in this video you can see the E7 playing nicely with a 1080p projector over HDMI out. The projector screen here is 110 inches! That’s massive! Not as big as the record breaking N8 movie screen but more than enough for a home theatre. Dang 42″ is good enough, no? :p The video is in 1080p which better shows off the clarity of HDMI out.
Lastly, don’t forget that if your screen doesn’t have HDMI connection you have the 3.5mm TV-out. As seen in the C7, even though it lacks HDMI out, near HD quality can still be output (very high quality analogue signal).

Nokia C7 HD TV out via 3.5mm Audio Visual Jack Possible

The Nokia N8 as you know outputs 720p HD over HDMI. But the C7 lacks HDMI out, only having the standard multifunctional 3.5mm audio-visual jack. Unlike previous Symbian devices, you aren’t stuck on 640×360. You are in fact, upscaled to as close to “HD” as you can get over an analogue signal.
It’s difficult to demonstrate over pictures (I should have tried identical ones like the E7/N900 shots), but in person it was easy to see that the C7′s tv output (above) was much sharper than the N97′s (below).
C7 below



Point: You’ll be getting much sharper images over TV-out. Perhaps a little bit like the N900 (or sharper) and depending on the source video, you’ll get some decent home cinema watching experience.

Mobile Phone Display Mega Shootout

There are so many of them that it’s pretty hard to make up your mind. It all boils down to LCD vs. LED although this simple fact is easy to overlook. You can go ahead and blame it all on marketing but that’s one thing that just can’t be black and white. Instead of keeping it simple, manufacturers are busy making up catchy names.
Had enough with LCD? Be our guest, try Super LCD. There’s even Super Clear LCD for the sake of being different. Same with AMOLED. There’s the garden variety. But there’s also Clear Black and Super AMOLED.
Anyway, with so many screens around even we got mixed up. And instead of writing down “We’ll never again mistake regular LCD for Super LCD” three thousand times, we got assigned to do this article. Yes sir. Coming up, boss. It’s about LCD and AMOLED, about Super AMOLED and SUPER LCD. It’s about the Retina display, which technically is a type of LCD.

This is not a story going back to monochrome displays and the dawn of STN and CSTN screens. That would’ve made an even bigger mess. Instead, we’re focusing on present day touchscreen and the varieties it comes in. We have each technology represented and it’s quite a bunch of highly popular and fairly recent phones being judged by the quality of their screen. From the good old LCD to the ClearBlack AMOLED by Nokia – they are all here, with all their strengths and weaknesses.
http://symbianworld.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/nokia-n8-nokia-c6-01-apple-iphone-4-lg-optimus-htc-desire-hd-xperia-x10-samsung-galaxy-S-wave.jpg

And here are the contenders, along with the display technology they stand for. In the LCD corner, the HTC Desire HD and LG Optimus 7 are next to the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10.
HTC Desire HD LG E900 Optimus 7 Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10

HTC Desire HD • LG Optimus 7 • Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10
The Samsung S8530 Wave II is on the enhanced LCD team – technically, it’s Super Clear LCD, the brand name Samsung use to market their own SLCD-based screens. The Retina display is not just another LCD screen either – like the Apple iPhone 4 is not just another phone.
Samsung S8530 Wave II Apple iPhone 4

The Samsung S8530 Wave II • Apple iPhone 4
The Nokia N8 is running for AMOLED, while the C6-01 has Nokia’s ClearBlack technology behind it. Finally, we have a couple of Super AMOLED screens – on the Samsung I9000 Galaxy S and Samsung S8500 Wave.
Nokia N8 Nokia C6-01 Samsung I9000 Galaxy S Samsung S8500 Wave

Nokia N8 • Nokia C6-01 • Samsung I9000 Galaxy S • Samsung S8500 Wave
An elite club it is and that goes to show how important screens are. Manufacturers can’t go on for ever offering more and more features, so things like screen quality are becoming a key selling point.

Symbian Foundation Websites Shutting Down on 17th December as Symbian Becomes Closed Source

With Symbian coming back under the full control of Nokia, the following Symbian websites are expected to shut down from 17th December 2010.
  • www.symbian.org, www.symbian.org/cn, www.symbian.org/jp
  • developer.symbian.org, developer.symbian.org/cn, developer.symbian.org/jp
  • horizon.symbian.org
  • ideas.symbian.org
  • blog.symbian.org, blogcn.symbian.org, blogjp.symbian.org
Everything is still available (see symbian.org) so if you have to download platform source codes they are available now. Afterwards, Symbian says, “We are working hard to make sure that most of the content accessible through web services” though they will NOT be hosting this source.
Former Nokia and Symbian employee Julien Fourgeaud on Symbian becoming “closed source”:
“I have to say that this is a bit of a surprise.
Symbian as an open platform still makes sense and I can’t believe that there is anyone in the industry who hasn’t come forward to offer hosting the code and the documentation.
Even if the code/doc doesn’t live, it still has a chance to be used by the community and get back on its feet, maybe in a different manner?”
Should Symbian.org and related websites stay open? Shame about ideas.symbian.org also shutting down. I hope Nokia pool those resources somewhere as it’s a good place to see ideas for Symbian.
Note, we do have  mynokiablog.com/symbian-features-wishlist where you could submit ideas/bugs too. I’m getting through updating the post (there were more than I’d anticipated) and will have to recategorize as some suggestions may form a new group.

Custom UI running on the Lenovo and Nokia N900 by Digia

 
This is a wonderful UI paradigm by Digia and quite innovative. In this underwater theme, you have these set of 3D bubbles that we’d otherwise associate with icons. And hey – the circle icon surround actually works in this concept (as opposed to the now over used squircle). These icons populate the screen with yet more contextual bubbles when touched, e.g. hit contact bubble and get more contacts. These bubbles live on a 3D panoramic seabed. Though you are swiping left to right, it seems as though you’re not simply moving horizontally but rotating about a fixed point (which is a nice change). These Bubbles can also then be moved behind (looking smaller) or towards the foreground.
This cool custom UI is demonstrated on the Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3t Netbook/Tablet hybrid and the Nokia N900. It’s great seeing this work on the big screen as well as the smaller mobile display. The N900 looks less responsive to touch though that might be due to to the IdeaPads feather touch capacitive and the pressure touch resistive on N900 (as often seen, resistive screens are also responsive it’s just that folk apply the same pressure as capacitive and thus such input is not registered).
What’s cooler still is that Digia claim it took one developer just one month to create this and shows the fast software development cycle and ease of use that attracted them to MeeGo.

About Digia (from Wikipedia)
Digia Plc (formerly SYSOPENDIGIA) is a Finnish software company quoted on the Helsinki Stock Exchange, and is listed on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki (DIG1V). Digia’s main business areas are enterprise systems and mobile applications. The company has about 1 500 employees in Finland, Sweden, Russia and China.

Digia has a history with Nokia, developing Symbian and Maemo Browsers as well as Qt Based cross platform Future UIs. One of the strong things emphasised from Qt Quick is the focus now on just how the UI should look like rather than how to get it done (allowing designers to be part of the development process) creating the concepts with the help of the developer.

Nokia X7-00 Symbian^3 Leaked - Video and Images

Nokia seems to be on a roller coaster ride with the latest Symbian^3, as we have already seen it pull out the N8, C7, C6-o1 and the upcoming E7. Is the company working on a fresh masterpiece that runs on the latest Symbian, which we hear has four speakers? Wondering where we are getting these fabulous ideas from?

Well, Nokia Saga has shed some light on the nitty gritty’s of the supposed Nokia X7-00. It elucidates that the device is running on the latest version of Symbian and is loaded with four stereo speakers
. Looks like this device could be the first music centric Symbian^3 smartphone coming from Nokia.

In fact, even gaming aficionados could leverage on its proposed audio brilliance. The Nokia Blog highlights that the video shows the X7 smoothly running Symbian^3 along with the game Need for Speed Shift. From what we deduce, it looks like the device has a accelerometer integrated, as orienting the handset to drive seems effortless.

Data Quota v1.32 Symbian^3 - Nokia N8, C7, C6-01 and E7 - Free Download



● Simply shows how much of your packet data quota you've used so far this month.

● If you have a pre-determined quota from your operator of how much packet data you can use in a month, it's a pain to first find the Logs application, open the packet data counter, then try and work out how much data you have left from the amount used so far.

● Data Quota shows two simple bars: one showing how much of the data for this month you have used; and one showing how much of the month has elapsed. This lets you tell at a glance if you've been using data up too fast or two slow, so you can be more frugal or let rip!

● On the first of each month (or whenever your quota resets on billing day), clear the packet data counter. For example: Tools -> Log -> Packet data -> Options -> Clear counters

Nokia Own Voice v 2.01(2) Symbian^3 - Nokia N8, E7, C7 and C6-01

Nokia Own Voice is one of the ultimate apps in a very long time from Nokia. Imagine your own voice giving you directions when using Nokia Ovi Maps, isn't that amazing. I am talking about people who love themselves. This application is a major breakthrough in the GPS navigation industry because we have not seen such an application before. Earlier, the only option that you had was to choose between a very few languages and monotonic voice sounds. Now, all of that is going to change and you can choose between the voice packs for Ovi Maps just the way you select a ringtone for your phone from a huge number of options.
Nokia Own Voice for Ovi Maps - Exclusive video walkthrough
Nokia Own Voice is a very small application sizing about 470KB only. All it does is that it lets you record your voice in a very easy and convenient way for all the keywords or sentences that are required to be announced while navigating your way on Ovi Maps. There are 54 such keywords/sentences that are needed to be recorded in your voice in order to create a voice pack for Ovi Maps. The application interface is very clean and usable. The application displays the keywords/sentences in a sequence with a record/play button. You need to click on the record/stop button and record your voice and then click back on the rec/stop button as soon as you finish. You need to repeat this process until all the 54 words are recorded.
