dolby surround is practically useless on mobile phone because u need to output it. I prefer my Xonar D2X
*
Xonar D2X is totally a different thing from Dolby Headphone... Dolby Headphone IMHO can be compared to something like Beats Audio on HTC devices. Something like that sweat.gif

why do you need a headphone when u can have surround sound without one? Nah Beats Audio and Dolby headphone is two different class. Surround sound headphones have 5 channels or more. Beats audio i dont think so
*
if you use speakers also you can activate the Dolby Headphone right? Beats is more towards bass performance.

Most important your source must be more than 2 channels to enjoy the surround sound. If i use speaker then my entire room will be like the headphone difference is without headphones and with pure bass and clarity.

it's not virtual surround? Oh.

the 808 was like, pricey?? check out its pre-order price sad.gif

hmm.gif that's in Italy. If it really costs RM2500 I would get a PM1 and a Galaxy W. Doesn't matter how good it is, it just isn't worth that much.

At above RM2000 it is placing it in flagship territory and I think it's gonna get beaten really bad by the SGSIII and iPhone4S. Yea the camera is way ahead of the competition but I don't think it actually leads in any other way. Competition will be tough unless you are talking about someone who places great importance on image quality.
Most people interested in photography will have a proper camera so it doesn't really have a market that way too. Only way is to sell cheap and market it's huge camera.

But most people no longer have faith in Symbian. So...fail phone?

How can it fail just because its symbian? The issue now even u have a quad core phone powered by android or iOS but none of it can even come lose to the quality of the Nokia 808 pureview? Can u define how it fail?

Can u define your definition of proper camera? Means DSLR? That u are wrong a mobile phone goes everywhere  close to where u can imagine it can go. Just imagine u budget RM2000 and u wanna get a good camera and you dont like to carry alot of stuff around.

U have phone , you have email , u have 3G, u have FM transmitter and also the most awesome camera in hand. Someone only will define what u just said because they dunno what they want. If me ill get the 808 pureview because i know what is capable off.

Its like you compare the camera there no mobile phone or compact camera can even come close to it. Different people have their different needs. Not everyone buy phone for processor. This phone certainly have market for it
*
Most people are looking at the spec sheet. The only part that this phone shines is the camera. Nowadays I hear everybody say they want a Blackberry or Android phone, while the richer ones own iPhones. Seems like nobody is proud of using Symbian or even thinks about getting a new Symbian. Symbian is now linked to the slow slow phones of yore. Maybe they never tried the new ones but that's the common view about Symbian. Before 808 also I have given up on Symbian considering N8 is the only one with autofocus.

Maybe 808 will attract some people but the fact that Nokia has actually officially announced that this is a "burning platform" makes me very very doubtful that this phone will be a hit. I think most people will choose an Android device or a WP7 Pureview. At least the other OSes don't have a set expiry date.

Proper camera means something that has PASM modes. Comparing a phone with camera of coz can't be compared directly based on the number of features. At RM2000 and above there are many phones that can surf the web better, enjoy full flash, play more games, and have ACCEPTABLE camera quality. Nowhere near even the N8 but still ACCEPTABLE for most people who only take photos to upload to Facebook (me included)

I kind of agree for me i bored of iphone . Android is okay for me. Not only you given up a handful did as well but nokia is improving alot. Atm i am more addicted to WP7 . For me i want a good camera phone because i travel alot so i capture my life stories on the go. For everything else i have my ipad
Conclusion it depends on that person.
*
WP7 is smooth and all but my 1st impression is...too simple. On the other hand, N9's simplicity is very interesting.

i kind of prefer WP7 over Meego why?
Like the windowsphone challenge u see for everyday use stuff its very fast and quick i dont need 5 to 10 step to perform a task.
*
I don't know I just don't like Lumia 800 WP7's metroUI flatness maybe. It just doesn't excite me like an N9 does.

for me i prefer WP7 because everything is in alphabetical order. If u notice in menu concept it usually takes alittle longer to search. Sometimes its in applicaations sometimes in office folder
*
oh it can be arranged right? I didn't have much time with both phones as I just played with them at the shop unlike you nokia rangers. I spend much of my time arranging my apps in my X6 into the appropriate folder every time I flash it with a CFW.

WP7 cant change to menu mode. Only listing mode. There nothing to do about rangers or not its about how fast u can adept to technology. WP7 no need to arrange if you want to find an APP just press a letter it shows the entire A-Z of your apps so u just choose which letter or scroll to find it.
*
adapting to a new UI in a few minutes is near impossible I think. I only managed to understand N9 UI because I read about it a lot as I thought it was going to be my new phone, but when Nokia announced that MeeGo is not supported anymore, I lost interest in it. Although it is really a good phone. thumbup.gif

it's truly sad that now most developers have focused on iOS and Android but we can't blame them because the money is there.

Belle is pretty good already, but people already jump ship.
When people jump, it's hard to win back, especially when they already given up, disappointed, annoyed, angry, etc.

That's why it's important not to make the wrong move, and if it does happen, they have to quickly find solution for it.

Now they choose WP7, but WP7 have many restrictions and limitations; Many Symbian owners may not be able to accept these restrictions and limitations; If they have to bear with these, they might just go with the iPhone? If they want flexibility and power, there's Android. So, it's important for Nokia and Microsoft to solve this as soon as possible before more Nokia loses more customers... when people jump ship, it's hard to win them back. If they start buying apps and games on other platform, it'll be even harder because their purchases cannot be transferred to WP7.
Because WP7 UI is 2D Flat Look and Feel. You will notice everything is 2D flat look and feel.
If you explore more, you will see or have some familiar feeling... it look and feel like Web Page style.

For programmer or web developer, they maybe more familiar with the look and feel.
Well, there is more customers there. I mean, much much more. You see Draw Something, how much earnings in just a short time?
People use Android and iOS mostly. So these 2 platform will be the 1st choice.
As for other platforms, the manufacturer have to make effort to help bring those apps over to their platform.

Now, apps and games are important; So having apps and games, the platform can be more successful.
In this case, can apps and games change WP7? Yes and No
Why No? App and Games, also available in Android and iOS, so why choose WP7 when it comes with many restrictions and limitations?
For those people who can live with it, they will choose WP7.
But how many people can live with it and still choose WP7 instead of iPhone?
WP7 needs to break this barrier on restrictions and limitations, to gain more customers, instead of driving more customers away; This indirectly affecting Nokia since Nokia is adopting WP7 as it's primary OS.
*
I think WP7 should drop the restrictions to remain competitive. iOS is exclusive being Apple and everybody wants a piece of that half bitten apple, without even thinking twice about the restrictions. The premium status of Apple devices cannot be denied and a lot of people are willing to give up a lot to obtain that premiumness, even kidneys. sweat.gif

IMHO all smartphone OSes should not have these weird restrictions that limit the user to a set function. As you have said in your blog, it makes it become a mediaphone with so many limitations. thumbup.gif

QUOTE(eaglehelang @ Apr 12 2012, 03:15 PM)
Think of it this way lor, Nokia not considered prestige brand to have, so, the price will drop. Better for us consumer, provided Elop dont bankrupt the company 1st. Iphone, till today dunno whats so special other than the apps.
*
Nokia has been around for so long so many people feel it's old school, almost everyone will have used a Nokia phone. The fact that they didn't board the Android ship makes it seem even more outdated since every other company is launching phones running Android.

all APPLE product is restricted and limited.. but not all NOKIA is restricted..
perhaps thats why the APPLE product can survive because all of its products restricted at the same software.

but only WP Nokia is restricted ftw thats not a good marketing!

People can accept iOS restrictions because it's Apple. And they have been brain washed by the late Steve Jobs. However Nokia doesn't have such marketing power. sweat.gif Damian Dinning is good at it but he's only into camera tech.
