Aspects of Touchscreen Mobile Phones – Samsung Pixon and Nokia 5800

There’s just no stopping the advance of touchscreen mobile phones, into every area of the mobile world. Let’s take a look at how touchscreens help with two key features: camera, on the Samsung Pixon, and music, on the Nokia 5800. But first, take a look at the potted description of touchscreens.

The description of the touchscreen – how they got into mobile phones

Ever in view of the fact that way before the era of mobile phones even started, touchscreen devices have been out there, letting broadcast interact more directly with whatever it was they were interacting with in the first place. Before they appeared on mobile phones, you would see them in museum displays, in tablet PCs and in Star Trek. They really took off with PDAs, though, devices that can be considered as nearly the direct ancestor of modern, so-called ’smart’ mobile phones. Pocket PCs, in other words, and they flourished there in view of the fact that it allowed the device to be smaller, but have the same high-end functionality. Quick-forward a bit, and we come to the mobile phones that have them, and there’s one example everyone knows (especially Americans): the iPhone. Like it or despise it, there can be small doubt that it did give a huge kick up the backside to other manufacturers who make mobile phones, making touchscreens appear all over the place.

But what extra benefits do touchscreens impart to mobile phones’ features? How, for example, does the Nokia 5800’s music player benefit from having a touchscreen?

Nokia 5800 – a touching show of musical like

The Nokia 5800 marks Nokia’s first mainstream foray into the world of touchscreen mobile phones. They’ve made other touch-based mobile phones before, but none has had the mass-market appeal that the Nokia 5800 is showing. Anyone who’s seen it, or read about it knows that its huge, killer feature is music (well, it would be, being part of the XpressMusic range of mobile phones). And of course, having a touchscreen allows it to exploit touch-based controls in a really cool way, with direct scrolling through tracks, an simple fiddle with swipes giving a more direct feel when accessing songs on the Nokia 5800. I hesitate to call it iPhone-esque, but it is, and basically, the Nokia 5800 gives you a massive amount of freedom when playing tracks.

Samsung Pixon – lights, camera, touch action

The other key feature in most mobile phones these days is the camera, and so, we now turn our attention away from the Nokia 5800 and on to one of its rivals: the gorgeous Samsung Pixon. With this particular mobile phone, whilst it does have a music player, and HSDPA internet, and GPS, the huge feature is the camera, because, as with only a handful of other mobile phones, the Samsung Pixon has a HUGE 8 megapixel camera. So, snapping quality photos with it is going to be a piece of cake. But how does that camera take advantage of the touchscreen on the Samsung Pixon? Simple, it utilises manual touch focus. Or, in other words, to focus on a particular thing in front of you, you just tap on that thing on the screen. Very few mobile phones have that feature, and the Samsung Pixon is probably the nicest. And it wouldn’t be possible without the wonders of the humble touchscreen!

Touchscreen Mobile Phones Come of Age – Blackberry Storm and Htc Touch Hd

Touchscreen mobile phones have walked (well, not literally walked, but you get the point) amongst us for many years, but only in recent times have they become so prevalent. Now, the next stage of their evolution has happened, and we are witness to two new breeds of touchscreen excellence: the phenomenal Blackberry Storm and the titanic HTC Touch HD.

Why was 2008 the huge year for touchscreen mobile phones?

That’s the huge question, isn’t it. After all, touchscreen mobile phones have been on the scene for years, so why has this year been so explosive in terms of touchscreen evolution. Well, as much as I despise to admit it, it can be place down largely to 1 mobile phone. The reason I despise to admit it is because it’s the iPhone, a phone I personally loathe. I don’t like it because it’s had so much hype, with Jobs himself, and Apple addicts adage that it’s obviously better than all other mobile phones, and revering it in a way usually only seen with religious icons. Except it isn’t, other mobile phones leave it in the dust in terms of features. It’s not a mobile phone, it’s a flashy toy. The one thing I will concede, though, is that the boundary on the iPhone is all swishy and quite nice. THAT’s the bit that’s given mobile phone makers a kick up the backside, and once it did, the race was on for all of them to make their own killer touchscreen mobile phones, from Nokia to Blackberry, from HTC to Samsung. The huge two, heading into Christmas, are from Blackberry and HTC, and both of them have a touch new to offer…

Blackberry Storm – storm in a teacup?

First up is the Blackberry Storm, and it genuinely does bring a touch new to the world of touchscreen mobile phones; specifically, it brings a whole new type of touchscreen, a clicky touchscreen. Basically the screen on the Blackberry Storm really moves slightly into the body of the phone, so that when you press down on it, to select a touch on screen, it feels exactly like you’re critical a real button. Considering that the Blackberry Storm uses a virtual keyboard for typing emails, that clicky screen is one of the single most useful additions in the description of mobile phones. Basically, no other mobile phones have got it, and the Blackberry Storm is going to sell like hotcakes because of it, AND because it’s downright gorgeous in its own right.

HTC Touch HD – the Titan awakes!

Where the Blackberry Storm is sleek, and smart, there’s another touchscreen mobile phone on it way, which is less ’super-smart bomb’, and more ‘massive nuclear warhead’. Whereas the screen on the Blackberry Storm goes for innovation and cleverness, the screen on the titanic HTC Touch HD goes for sheer size; at 3.8 inches, it’s got a larger screen than ANY other mobile phones in the entire world. And that’s a excellent thing, because the HTC Touch HD is essentially and oversized HTC Diamond, and uses the same TouchFLO 3D boundary, optimised for fiddle with controls. The vastly enlarged screen on the HTC Touch HD makes this one of the single most perfect touchscreen mobile phones ever imagined, and perfect for touch control. Oh, and of course, the HTC Touch HD also has a 5 megapixel camera, GPS and HSDPA, so it’s probably bang on the money to say that this is the one… Of all the mobile phones released this year, the HTC Touch HD is the iPhone-Killer!

Cornering the Market on Top-end Mobile Phones – the Nokia N85 and the Glorious Nokia N96

If you’re looking to get yourself a top-end mobile phones this Christmas, look no further than Nokia’s Nseries; whether you go for the incredible Nokia N85 or its huge brother, the super-powered, incredible Nokia N96, you’re onto a winner!

The ancestors of the Nseries – Nokia mobile phones take over the world

When Nseries mobile phones first hit the shelves, everyone basically went, ‘Ooh, nice!’ Right from the early days, it was clear this new breed of mobile phones was a touch new, combining sleek looks with mind-bending (for its time, anyway) power. They became the ultimate multimedia mobile phones, and broadcast flocked to them in droves. Over time, Nokia expanded the range, count more features and cool stuff, until today, they are regarded as some of the best mobile phones in the world.

That view is unlikely to change with the release of two new Nokia Nseries mobile phones: the gorgeous Nokia N85, and the frankly awesome Nokia N96.

Videodrome – Nokia N96

Every Nokia Nseries mobile phone has had one killer gimmick, one thing it’s been known for. The N91 was the first with a built-in hard handbook. The N95 was the first Nokia mobile phone with a 5 megapixel camera. Well, the Nokia N96 has not one, but two killer gimmicks. Before we get to them, but, let’s take a quick look at the other features on this so-called king of mobile phones. Like its predecessor the N95, the Nokia N96 has a 5 megapixel camera, GPS and super-quick internet access. What it brings to the party, though, are two things that are new to Nokia mobile phones. First, the Nokia N96 has 16Gb of internal memory, a touch not seen on any of their previous mobile phones. Secondly is its huge focus: video. The Nokia N96 is, essentially, a portable cinema in your hand, and a mobile TV, in view of the fact that it comes complete with BBC iPlayer, making the Nokia N96 the first mobile phone in description that lets you stream AND download videos from iPlayer, honest out of the box.

Nokia N85 – a wolf in sheep’s clothing?

The Nokia N96 really is one of the most powerful mobile phones on the earth… but some say its small brother, the Nokia N85 is even better. To be honest, that thought has some merit, because there’s not a huge list of differences between the two mobile phones. The Nokia N85 doesn’t have DVB-H mobile TV or iPlayer, and the internal memory is down from 16Gb to 74Mb. But let’s analyse persons things. First off, the lack of DVB-H on the Nokia N96 is NOT a huge deal, in view of the fact that that ordinary isn’t supported in Europe yet. As for the lack of iPlayer, the version for mobile phones is freely downloadable (or will be soon), so it not coming preinstalled on the Nokia N85 is only a TINY hindrance. And whilst the N96 has a larger screen, the one on the Nokia N85 is far stuck-up, as it’s an OLED screen, making it brighter, more colourful, and all round better. Plus, it seems HIGHLY likely that the Nokia N85 will be the vastly cheaper of these two mobile phones, so by that logic, you can’t really lose if you go for the Nokia N85!

The Big Question – Why Do We All Love Mobile Phones so Much?

There’s no doubt that mobile phones are amongst the top gadgets broadcast want. But why do we have this like affair with mobile phones? When you get right down to it, what makes mobile phones so special?

From small acorns, huge trees grow – The description of mobile phones

So, where did it all commence? Where did the rich variety of mobile phones we see in the world today really come from? Well, the thought for a cellular-based system (the keystone of all modern mobile phones) was first projected in December 1947, as a possible way of setting up wireless communications. It would go undeveloped, though, until the 60’s and 70’s. On top of that, the very first mobile phones are very certainly stone age compared to the modern breed. Before it all went digital, analogue phones were the ordinary (ones like the Motorola ‘Del-Boy’ phone), and they were unreliable, power-intensive, and weighed as much as a small town. But still, the the makings was there, and when mobile phones went digital, they crossed the divide from yuppies’ toys into communication devices for everyone. We went from calls, to calls and text messages, to calls, text messages and the internet, to… well, who knows where to a fantastic degree go in possibility!

One word can sum up the state of mobile phones, though, and this is probably why, more than anything else, they’ve taken off so massively in the last few years: convergence. In other words, mobile phones do more than just phoning broadcast, pulling in technology as disparate as music players and cameras. They do more, and therefore, you can do more with them. Let’s take a look a two of the largest extra features that’ve made their way onto mobile phones, features that really have changed the game: music and cameras.

Music on your mobile phone – Into the 25th Century with the Nokia 5800

Without a doubt, music has been a massive success tale in the world of mobile phones. The possibility of taking your music pool round with you, whilst NOT having to carry around a separate mp3 player, has meant that mobile phones have taken a huge foothold in this market. if you want an example of where they’re at now, look no further than the upcoming Nokia 5800, a touchscreen mobile phone that combines the best worlds of music, a clean 3 megapixel camera, built-in GPS and super-quick internet access. Basically, the Nokia 5800 really is a portable multimedia player in your hand, and given the amount of broadcast interested in it, it’s honest to assume it shows that music is a huge thing for mobile phones, especially in view of the fact that the Nokia 5800 is soon due to be available with Nokia’s Comes With Music service, specifically designed to blur the lines between mobile phones and music player further.

Make no mistake, putting music on mobile phones is huge business, as the Nokia 5800 so eminently demonstrates!

Thump, bang, wallop, what a picture – the Sony Ericsson C905 shows the way for camera-equipped mobile phones

If the Nokia 5800 is blazing a trail in the world of music mobile phones, then one phone in particular is setting the camera phone world alight: the Sony Ericsson C905. There’s a very excellent reason why this is so: the Sony Ericsson C905 is one of the first mobile phones in the world to have an 8 megapixel camera, importance that the mobile phone is now becoming a serious possibility for replacing your standalone camera. The simple reason broadcast have taken to camera-equipped mobile phones in a huge way is because they’re so much simpler to carry about and grab snaps on the spur of the moment. The Sony Ericsson C905 takes that to new levels, importance that spur of the moment photos from mobile phones are now rapidly reaching proper digital camera territory. Of course, the Sony Ericsson C905 also features GPS (the next huge thing in mobile phones) and super-quick HSDPA internet (the other next huge thing in mobile phones), but it’s the camera, like in so many mobile phones, that’s made it so ordinary.

Nokia 5800 Product Focus – is This the Future of Touchscreen Mobile Phones?

Recently announced is the first mainstream touchscreen device from Finnish manufacturer Nokia. They’ve made touchscreen mobile phones before, but… nothing like the awesomeness of the new Nokia 5800!

Nokia and touchscreens – lessons from description

Believe it or not, the Nokia 5800 isn’t the first of their mobile phones to feature a touchscreen. That accolade goes all the way back to the Nokia 7700, a mobile phone that, well, never really got released. But it was still the first, nevertheless. It’s just a shame, really, that Nokia’s first attempt at a touchscreen mobile phone was, frankly, rubbish, in view of the fact that it had a bit of a dodgy boundary, the looks… well, the looks were described as anything from ‘a bit misjudged’, to ‘looks like a taco’, all the way up to ‘terrible prop from Star Trek’. The stay on-up, the Nokia 7710 wasn’t much better, being a bit buggy, still huge, and it lacked the features that other mobile phones were rapidly starting to have (cameras, 3G and so on). After that, the only Nokia devices to have touchscreens were not really mobile phones, as the concept was shifted over to their range of internet tablets.

But now, touchscreen mobile phones are all set to make a triumphant return to the Nokia range, with their newest and bestest touchscreen mobile phone ever: the Nokia 5800.

Nokia 5800 – touchscreen mobile phones for the masses

Soon to be released, the Nokia 5800 is sure to have a very huge effect on their portfolio of mobile phones. And the inspiration of it can be traced back to the release of the iPhone, so you can be absolutely sure they’ve made the Nokia 5800 as slick and as user-friendly as possible. The new S60 Touch boundary in the Nokia 5800 is tremendously elegant, as well as being really rather powerful. Place simply, it’s a joy to navigate round, and so much nicer than many other mobile phones on the market. Combine with a list of top-notch features, like 3 megapixel camera, HSDPA and so on, and you get a really cool smartphone. But it’s with music that the Nokia 5800 really shines, as it’s music that this gorgeous mobile phone lives for, with a music player that really is second to none. In end, I can from the bottom of your heart say that the Nokia 5800 is one of the most impressive mobile phones I’ve seen in a long time.

But the surprising thing is… the Nokia 5800 is a mid-range mobile phone, not a top-ender. So what will happen, when the Nokia 5800 magically morphs into the first touchscreen Nseries mobile phone.

Captain N – the possibility is Nseries

There’s no doubt that the Nokia 5800 is a really cool mobile phone. It’s slick, pretty and gifted. but what will the new S60 Touch boundary be like when it gets place into Nseries mobile phones? Are we going to see a touch akin to the Nokia N96 that you control by prodding the screen? Well, the answer, unsurprisingly, is yes, as confirmed by Nokia themselves. The Nokia 5800 is merely the first toe in the water, as it were, and there WILL be Nseries mobile phones released with the new touch boundary. That’s when we’re going to see the huge, uber-top-end, ultra-powerful mobile phones, with cameras probably in the tens of megapixels, massive amounts of storage, and frighteningly quick internet access. They won’t be the Nokia N96 with a touchscreen, though, for the simple reason that they’ll blow everything away, the Nokia N96 included!

Sharp Mobile Phones: Getting Prepared to Capture the Mobile Phone Industry
