Bad breath medicine, or check it first with Nokia N95

If you have bad breath, what will you do. Perhaps you take a mouthwash like Listerine. And it's gone. Or may be you go to a doctor, if the bad breath does not go away. But, this is a high tech era, so your phone might be just the right assistance.

With Nokia N95 equipped with the bad-breath chip detector technology from AND, now your Nokia N95 can detect bad breath and tells you what's wrong with your body, based on the smart sensor chip inside your phone. There will be a small hole created that you can blow into, to enable the scanning.

It can scan what gases contained in your breath, and then gives option whether you would like to wirelessly notify your physician, and show you what disease you have.

I am not sure this will be very popular among youths. But may be among adult people like age 40 and above, this application can be very useful.

Nokia invests €500 in R&D To Boost Symbian OS

We must confess to the reality in the market that Nokia Symbian OS is not the most hip and fancy operating system nowadays. Android and Apple iPhone have more compelling features and interface. Not to mention the exotic Garmin Asus Nuvifone, which seamlessly integrates native Garmin USB menu with cellphone and messaging functionality. Yet Nokia starts fighting back. It plans to invest €500, which particularly directed to improve the Symbian OS to be "more competitive".

But money alone cannot make the Symbian turn around easy. Facing tough challenges from Android, Iphone, and Palm Pre, Nokia will have to amass support from developers to work together to create operating system that works inline with natural habit of common people.

That's why HTC launches HTC Touch Flo skin, and also that's the reason behind the innovation by Samsung on TouchWiz interface. Symbian does not have that kind of flexibility. It must have, and have some more, and it must revolutionize the way Nokia lovers use the phone. Read More......

Nokia agrees with Skype to Include Skype Software In Cellphones

Skype is the world's most widely used telephony chat application, and now Nokia sets an agreement with Skype. With this agreement, Nokia will install Skype in the upcoming N97 series.

Previously, Skype has partnered with Hutchison to install Skype. As stated by Josh Silverman, Skype's Chief Executive, "We believe that mobile is incredibly important to our future," "The Nokia announcement is really a major milestone. When we partner with manufacturers we are able to deliver a superior experience."

This is a very great news, with this development, you can hope to talk with your Skype's contact very cheaply. Internet and cellphone integration is becoming today's standard. Let's expect the Nokia-Skype integration to work smoothly. Because Skype is very popular online, and users will expect the same service quality within the coming N97.

Nokia N86 8 mp camera phone from Nokia

Within the megapixel camera race, Nokia is surely lagging behind. Sony Ericsson C905 8 mp has been launched several months ago. While Sony Ericsson Idou is already teasing with 12 mp. Nevertheless, here we go, the late upgrade of N85, the 8 megapixel cam multimedia slider phone from Nokia.



While sporting no major upgrades other than 8 mp cam and dual LED, the Nokia N86 sticks its design to standard N-series. Roundish. Black. With rather minimalists buttons. Being a slider, the keypads are no-nonsense oval shaped.

Featured in a Nokia's Far East showcase in Singapore, Nokia N86 gathers not so good response in blogosphere. Most Nokia enthusiasts are not very interested with the proposition. Being positioned as a member of N-series family, Nokia N86 only uses regular LED. Although there are two LEDs, but everybody who has been using camera phones know that Xenon flashlight is way way stronger and brighter than ordinary LEDs.

One positive feature is that it includes standard 3.5 mm earphone jack, so yes you can plug in your favourite Sennheiser earphones directly. It is also pre-installed with Ovi, an application store service by Nokia.

Compared to other offerings in the market, this Nokia N86 does not offer much. Samsung Innov8 with strong imaging features, or the latest Samsung OmniaHD surely packs more. Samsung OmniaHD even gets High definition video recording and playback ability. A far far better valued phone compared to N86.

The Classic Phones That Changed It All

Well, since the first time cellphones introduced back then in the early 1990s, there are undeniably several phones that changed the face of the world, err, may be not the world, but quite by far and wide changed how we communicate and work.. So here they are, six phones that changed the way we live.

Nokia 7650. Released in 2002. The first Nokia that brought Symbian OS. Elegant by design, and strong in features, camera, java, symbian, but lacks external memory. Still, this device started the Symbian evolution, followed by Nokia 3650, 3660, 6600 and up until Nokia phones with latest Symbian we see today. A truly classic and beautiful phone!

Sony Ericsson P800. Released in 2002. The predecessor of P900, P910, and P990i as we knew. In huge competition with Nokia 7650, this phone was among the first who featured Symbian UIQ system. It also brought touch screen ability, the first time in cellphone industry with handwriting recognition and huge screen. Also packed with external memory slot, and camera. It was quite stylish and techie at its day.

Ericsson T10s. Released in 1998. This phone defined the meaning of compact size. Before T10s, cellphones were always bulky. But T10s started the thin competition! Loved by teenagers because of its compact size and bright colors, T10s were very iconic at its time. Though interface is a bit too simplistic and lacking flexibility compared to Nokia 5110, but still T10s got quite huge fan.

Sony Ericsson T610i. Released in 2002. The phone that defined the meaning of the word "style" in cellphone industry, and created a huge following. VGA camera, bluetooth, infrared (yes that day infrared was important), and wrapped in stylish duo tone colours made people go crazy after this phone. This phone may be one of the best selling model made by Sony Ericsson. 

Nokia Communicator 9110. Released in 1998. This is the phone that  pioneered the modern Communicator E90 as we see today. Actually 9110 is not the first communicator released by Nokia. Before that, Nokia launched Communicator 8880 and Communicator 9000, but these models were not very successful. Nokia Communicator 9110 already supported fax and document viewing, a very novel feature for 1990s phone. Actually, the Communicator form factor is very genious if we think about it. You can use it as regular phone, and by opening it, also as mini laptop.  

Nokia 5110. Released on 1997. This is it. The phone that is simply, legendary. The simple and easy interface, the generous number of text lines (at that time compared to its competitor), the snake game.. the exchangeable cover, all made this phone the idol for the crowd. Nokia 5110 cellphone is the one that brought GSM communication to the masses. May be the only downside of this phone is its ugly external antenna. Other than that, everything is fine. The sms capacity (for inbox and sent items) is 30 messages, which is quite okay for those times.
