Camera Phone Reviews

The Nokia N92 is the first integrated DVB-H mobile device in the Nokia Nseries range for watching broadcast TV programs. The Nokia N92 offers easy access to TV programs without having to sit in front of a television set. Users can set reminders to watch their favorite TV programs, create personal channel lists and subscribe to TV channel packages. The outstanding new form factor offers a highly ergonomic user-experience. The usability is further enhanced by the large 2.8" anti-glare QVGA screen with 16 million colors and the dedicated media keys that deliver a rich viewing experience.

Nokia N92 Reviews

GadgetCentre takes a look at the preview version of the Nokia N92, and notes, "The N92 isn’t actually out until next year and neither will proper DVB-H signals begin broadcasting until then, therefore we’ve only had an ogle at the preview version. However what we’ve seen is incredibly impressive, if you really want to indulge in mobile TV (and note that Vodafone recently struck a deal with Sky…) it is well worth waiting it out for the N92. This handset looks set to change how we think about mobile phones."

AllAboutSymbian previews the Nokia N92, and writes about the phone's camera: "The main camera is mounted in the barrel of the flip hinge, and at 2 megapixels will produce good results. However, unlike the N90 (and other high end camera phones), it does not have an auto-focus, which means that, like all fixed focus cameras, the ability of the camera is limited. Pictures from the camera seem to be on par with the N70, and as such are very good, but it would have been nice to see some of the N90's camera features rolled into the N92. As with other S60 phones, you can print via the USB cable (using PictBridge), via Bluetooth and (new to N92) via UPnP. As with other N series devices, the Camera and Gallery applications are a generation on from earlier Series 60 phones, with a greater range of settings and more intuitive controls and both benefit from the higher screen resolution."

Engadget had a chance to take a look at the Nokia N92, and along with some pics, they note, "There’s no denying that this is one big handset (you’ve got to squeeze that digital TV tuner in there somewhere) and the keypad is not so hot, but they definitely delivered on the mobile TV experience."

MobileBurn had the chance to preview the Nokia N92, and notes, "The big issues for most people are going to be the size and weight of the unit and the keypad. At 191g (6.7oz), it weighs more than many PDA phones. That's pretty heavy. It is also about the same size as a N90, though a bit wider and shorter. The keypad is very odd, being something like a rubber mat over top of a series of buttons. The feel is not that great, and when configured for TV viewing, the hinge makes getting at the softkey buttons quite difficult."

More from the news release:

The Nokia N92 has four different modes for simple and easy usage. The new view mode is especially designed for watching TV and video. To start watching mobile TV*, users simply need to open the Nokia N92 in view mode and press the Multimedia key. The Electronic Service Guide (ESG) contains information about the available TV channels, programs and services. Other mobile TV features include watching time of up to four hours, recording and 30 seconds replay.

The cellular connectivity means people can interact with the TV, through services such as voting, program feedback and additional web discovery. Further, the Nokia N92 supports the new Nokia Web Browser with Mini Map, which provides a semi-transparent zoomed-out view of a web page that enables users to quickly orient themselves on a small screen. With an overall view of the web page, users can intuitively navigate to all corners of it as well as see the web page as it was originally designed.
