The N9 camera is said to have 'continuous focus'. What does it mean?

Actually I'm using Micro-Sim now on my iPhone 4 now.
It's just that I don't like devices to support Micro-SIM only...

Early Symbian era, Nokia phones was very popular loh.... 3650, N-Gage, 6600, etc... Not much competition like now also... Plus, we can install N-Gage games on other non n-gage devices and bluetooth gameplay... 6600 with the "joystick"; This phone is a grenade! Plus, back then, others were so hyped with those "java" games, which is... er...
Then load N-GAGE KOF on 6600/3650, it's unbelievable.

I guess its the same as autofocus ?

So I guess the picture from the front page will be N950 ?

IMO, N950 seems to be closer to N900.

those day... Nokia use to have the strongest CPU in the phone market.... phone like 6610 can play MP3 at the same time when call come in .. the MP3 will fade out.. after call the MP3 resume....

today.. it is totally the other way round...

got competition.windows mobile.

Not sure video only or both;
If video only, means it will adjust it's focus continuously (e.g, if based on focus point, it will continuously focus the subject in the focus point; If based on face detection, then it will try to focus by detecting the face; Note: It may not work perfectly)
If photo, means, you can lock focus, then as you move your camera, whatever in the focus point will get focus again. Usually use for actions shot where the subject moves and you follow it. But not sure this can be of use for mobile phone camera as it'll need good focusing speed and performance to achieve this.

unless there is optical stabilizer.correct me if im wrong.

Back then, I'm not sure much people check about the specs/cpu. Back then was when smartphone started its era, and I remember got debate between smartphone vs non-smartphone (aka dumb phone), and about the ridiculous price to pay for a non-smart phone
Back then, also so many apps to find for Symbian, and people easily get excited over small things, hahaha; Nowadays it's totally different.

But it was also during Nokia smartphone era, that gets more problem? The early Nokia Smartphone, all comes with mono speakers; Those who change, complain about the sound quality, etc. We have to set it to 22Khz, etc so that it don't "pecah" and still sound good. Also got talk about "upgrading" the internal speakers with SE one, haha.
Somehow, those days, the Symbian seem more stable? LoL Perhaps it's more simple...

Haha, I got Windows Mobile back then, not really much choice also; I got the Motorola MPX200, back then, Windows Mobile phone was still so new in the market; I can only say, the experience is different from Symbian; Symbian is better in terms of mobile phone usage, good contact book, groupings, ringtone assignments, SMS, etc.
Windows Mobile? You kind of need more technical skills, mess with the registry, to actually customized the phone more and make it more interesting; Plus, there's quite a lot of problems with it; I use it as my 2nd phone, not reliable to be a primary phone.

wah.. back then...

3210 without Antenna!! so great!! cool!!! ... some more have snake!!! wooohooo!

N8 have in-body stabilization for video, but need to turn it on I think. Not sure for picture.

The continuous auto-focus for video mode, N8 can get it unofficially; But the next Symbian Anna update might have this for video.

For picture, I think it might have more issue as the camera needs to be fast, which most compact digital camera also cannot achieve I think.

thats digital stabilizer right?btw,N73 do have stereo sound which is dual speaker.that time n73 beat all of the so called Walkman series SE phone.
oh,this N9 is stereo or mono?

OMFG.. newspaper have all those 1234 number for u to compose ringtone... some of them even have to BUY!!!

WTF!!!

still remember i want 3310 because the ringtone composer. lol. N9 have this function as well?

Yea. Optical depends on the lens, which I don't think it's possible for camera phone.

Yea, N73; but I think the N series era they start to change? And with the introduction of Xpress Music Edition.
Last time Nokia phones has some sort of category right? I also can't remember specifically already
2 series for budget?
3 series for casual?
5 series for sports
6 series for workers (built tough, got one model got the construction hat, haha, and can go underwater up to certain level)
7 series, designer?
8 series, class?
9 series, communicator for business professional

Then comes N series and so on, things started to change.

The ringtone composer actually have limitation; I think you there is the speed limitation and tone length limitation; Then I use some software to compose it, then need to buy stupid cable to transfer to the phone and the cable I think is specific to certain phone only. But luckily we can send ringtone on certain models?

6 series n above all smartphone if i not mistaken..
yeah,they respond a bit slow to SE walkman but N73 N95 speaker is really decent.none of any SE walkman comparable to these 2 devices.after that,i love 5800 due to only 1 point,best speaker ever.hope the upcoming N9 n X7 got equivalent or better than 5800 speaker.

This thread turning into reminiscing thread. Good times, good times.
