With the summery barbecue weather, Steve Litchfield grills the legend of Nokia and Nseries imaging, Damien Dinning (@PhoneDaz) who’s been instrumental in refining Nokia’s imaging handsets such as, N73, N95, N82, N86 and of course N8! Very interesting points: AMOLED vs TFT – this one apparently better in day light than traditional AMOLED – usable in sunlight, of course fantastic viewing angles, richer colours, better contrast than TFT 3.5 vs 3.7″ screen – not due to price, but balance of capabilities and design (i.e. size, consumption of battery with larger screen) Tempered Glass – It’s Gorilla Glass, highly scratch resistant Why N8 taking so long to market – optimizing N8, still tweaking to get it absolutely right (so Steve can’t complain!) How does pixel density of sensor compare to iPhone 4 – Biggest sensor on mobile devices and some digicams. Same pixel size as iPhone 4 but at 12 Megapixels and not 5.

‘Ovi Daily App Tutorials’ is a handy new feature over on the Ovi Daily App blog, which enables you to know exactly what you’re getting when you’re in the market for a new app. Check out our screen shots below showing the feature in action. The devices you can see in these pictures are interactive, allowing you to navigate the app as if the device were in your hand

Matthew Bennet, Nseries US Tnkgrl shows us the Xenon flash of the N8 in action (pre-production firmware) against no flash. You can see that in low light, the subject gets more detail, and more accurate colours. Most LED flashes would give off a slight blue tinge and aren’t really useful as when you want to use flash to light up a scene, only real xenon will do.

Imagine how tiny the N8 could be if it was just the plain black bezel A media craze over the N8 wouldn’t be complete without the infamous @tnkgirl. She’s snapped the Green N8 along with it’s rivals as well as a buddy in the X6
