Well, this week is shaping up really great for me and us all Indians. To go a little off key I would like to congratulate all the Indian Scientist on their successful Launch of the Chandrayaan-1 to Moon. This is a great moment and being an Indian am really proud of myself. We now are the 6th country in the world to have launched a mission to moon. This sure has opened a new chapter in the Indian Space Research and not only this but coming back to the topic of Symbian Mobiles; a lot of things around the corner are.
The Symbian Smartphoneshow 2008 was great and witnessed a whole lot of new intuitive devices and services coming our way. A few which I really liked are like Dashwire, which is a browser based service which seamlessly connects your device contacts, speed dials, pictures, videos, text messages, voice mails etc on your online account. More on this Here>> and the one I personally admire is the launch of a new device by Samsung.

I am happy to announce that I am halfway done with a whole new game for Symbian S60 devieces that I have been working on for quite sometime now. The graphics are almost done. I don’t want to break the surprise but this Game has been a real revolutionary idea that could change how we play games on our cell phones.
Combining the likes of Camera, Accelerometer and GPS it is now possible for you to play the Game in real mode. Thus, making you the subject and you working your way around things yourself. This is what makes the game REAL. Although I’m going a little low on funding at present but whats the rush.
A Quick Peak to what it will offer:

This is the second part of my review with the Nokia N82, the first part can be found here. In this post I would like to pay attention to certain features which are exclusively used in day to day life and at the same time some features which completely aren’t. I have had a wonderful experience with the S60 device and as my trial period comes to an end I would love to sum up all my thoughts in this post, I know you don’t really look forward to it but I might as well plan a part III. A daily dose of what my Nokia N82 goes through can be found here and please take note that viewer’s discretion is advised before you click the link. If you’re not down with that then take a look at the gym celebrity who sure made a lot of heads turn or more precisely swing to the beats of N82. A big screen gaming session is what I personally enjoy the most. With all this being done you might have guessed by now how N82 has become a part of me. I sometimes feel nostalgic when I think how would I go about when my trial period ends, which is pretty close. 
Let’s peek into the meat of the matter now. Ask yourself in what ways can you possible use a cell phone apart basic calling and text messaging? Yes, that is correct the review will go in depth of all the features and functions that a sane person can think of. Okay we here would focus on the main applications supplied and some of which I love to use, if you want a certain application to be reviewed please leave a comment. Also if you feel I missed something, I would willingly add it provided I get your feedback. If you want to share your take, you are most welcomed to reply with comments. First and foremost thing that comes to the mind is Camera, so let’s get on with it right away and other things would follow accordingly.
CAMERA
This is the number one priority these days in a cell phone. You guys better check out some tips here in case you don’t own a N82, I’m sure you would need them as I did with my Nokia N73. Okay, the 5 MP (2592 x 1944 pixels) Autofocus is what everyone knows needs no introduction but what people don’t know that it is a Tessar 2.8/5.6 Carl Zeiss. Wow… and to add the cherry on top we have the Xenon flash. To be more specific, the camera has a Sensor: CMOS with the Carl Zeiss Optics: Tessar lens having an F number/Aperture: F2.8 and Focal length 5.6 mm. The focus has a near point of 10 cm and infinity as the far point but 50 cm in Macro mode.
