Nokia N96 App Review – Best Profiles

Name: Best Profiles

Description: Profile Manager

Summary: I haven’t been impressed with too many applications these days normally because they only have one use. Its going to be a mouth full to tell you what Best Profiles can do for your Nokia N96 but ill give it a go. To start with lets go through the basics, Best Profiles will let you chose to change your profile everyday or just the selected days, you can also set up key words and whenever an event happens in your calender that uses that key word it will change to a selected profile. Best Profiles will also use your GSM location to chose a profile (which so far I have only been able to define a country but you mite be able to work or home locations) and of course it can change your profile when you charge your phone. With all this going on it could well happen that your profiles overlap so Best Profiles has a priority setting for each profile change it does. Now lets get onto the good stuff, first for every different profile you can have different wallpapers, Themes and sound notifications. Also upon activation of a profile you can set it to run multiple applications, different backlight settings and even bluetooth activity. All this needs a bit of planning what if you just want a quick change well Best Profiles has the ability to let you activate any profile at a certain time, after a certain time, for a certain time and even lock for a certain time if your not sure what other profile mite activate.

Overview: On its own Best Profiles doesn’t seem that much but if you think of the possibilities for example my previous post was power mp3 that could start playing music as soon as it opened so if you set that as the application your profile runs it could be an alarm clock that doesn’t stop. Just think what it could do I’m 100% sure that someone will think of an even better use of this application and I would love to hear about it when you do. Unfortunately I have some bad news Best Profiles isn’t free its only £6/$10 but I know that it will put most people off which is a shame because it is a good application and one day there will be a time this application will help you.

Nokia n96 Theme Review – Highway

Name: Highway

Creator:  alfa

Summary: We have been reviewing nice themes here at Nokia N96 and this is one more theme for your Nokia N96 smartphone, like Green Deluxe, and our friends at Nokia N86 have also been reviewing nice themes both for Nokia N96 and Nokia N86. Everybody wants there phone to look different every now and again but finding a nice them can take a bit of time. Well here’s my recent favorite one at the moment, usually I like themes with nature but this caught my eye. Obviously its a digital image and that could put a few people off, which is fine and no matter what your taste alfa has probably created one to suit you. Anyway this them looks very nice and clear its a bit busy in the background but that’s just more to look at. This also come with a very nice set of icons which suits must application well.

Overview: I can understand that our users would want to see the time when their phone is locked but that should limit down their themes choice. If you still what to see the time from say cClock or any of the other clock themes the all you have to do is apply that themes screen saver file which is a .swi (or something close to that).

Nokia N96 has started shipping!

Nokia has confirmed that the Nokia N96 has started shipping, and by that, it means that we are closer and closer to the release date.

As you should know, if you visit our N96 specifications or features page, the phone will have a 5 megapixel camera with Dual LED flash, autofocus, video recording in DVD quality, and a Carl Zeiss optics lens. A 16GB internal memory is bundled with support of a microSD memory card, which could add up to 24GB and in future, 32GB! With the available 16GB memory, you can store up to 40 hours of video.

The video played back can be of MPEG4 format, Flash Video, and Windows Media Video.

You can listen to music through its 3D stereo speakers or connect your speakers, or headphones through its 3.5mm audio jack, or through Bluetooth. There is also Internet Radio, Visual Radio, and whole podcast directory.

The N96 will have a A-GPS  receiver, and will feature geo-tagging capabilities, which will be just fantastic with the excellent camera. If you haven’t tried geotagging, you should with a phone such as the Nokia N78 or the N82, which will display where the picture was exactly taken on the Maps application.

The phone will also support DVB-h, but the mobile TV technology isn’t available yet in most countries, and in UK, it will only be available by 2012, as you can read in this Nokia N96 Review.

As the N96 has a huge 2.8″ display with QVGA resolution (240×320 pixels), and very loud 3D stereo speakers it will come with an included movie, and for the South Africa version, it will be Transformers. You can further enjoy this by placing the N96 on a table, supported by its own kickstand.

On the connectivity side, the N96 has WLAN, HSDPA, Bluetooth, and USB 2.0.

In a press release issued today, Jonas Geust, Vice President, Nokia Nseries said that “The Nokia N96 is mobile entertainment at its best, a fitting flagship for our Nseries range. It defines convergence by blending phone and multimedia options seamlessly with the unique Nokia Nseries dual slider that makes discovering and sharing experiences easy. Watch live TV and video, take high quality photos and geotag them to specific locations or directly upload them online via the fast internet connection – it is all about taking mobile entertainment and communication to the next level.”

The price will be of 750 Euros without subsidies or taxes, and we’ve noticed that there are plenty of websites offering the Nokia N96, between other mobile phone deals, and on this particular website, you can compare mobile phone prices, and even post your own reviews, or just read the ones written by the editor.
