The Phones Show 65 is out now (used to be The Smartphones Show), with a surprisingly positive (I didn't think I'd like it from the initial photos) video review of the Nokia N79, more generic musings on the advisability of Xenon flash and a review of iPhone-wannabe, the Samsung Tocco.
Read on in the full article.
The N79's video quality in total darkness seems pretty impressive, presumably sustaining that level of lighting would wear the batteries down quickly though?
Samsung's i900 Omnia has Xenon flash in a Winmob device. Well worth checking out if you want a clever iphone-esk handset.
Oh, but make sure you get an upto date firmware on it
Steve,
watching this edition in Itunes, the audio and video are horribly out of sync; not serious, but I thought you might want to know anyway...
OK, seems I lied. However the flash on the Omnia is VERY bright!
@buster: Really? Hmm.... it plays fine in iTunes and on my N95 and in Nero and on YouTube..... can you try rebooting or watching in a different player? I suspect it's something wrong at your end?
Strange. It still plays badly in iTunes, but plays fine in Windows Media Player and on my E90...
Hi steve,
I would really like to know which phones are recording all parts of your show? Is it possible to edit in a small subtitle in every scene so we can tell which device it being used to record that particular segment? This way we can see the difference in each devices performance.
Thanks
The N93 shoots the main video, the N95 takes all the close-up pics, the i8510 shoots the close-up video.

Thank you
How do you keep the LED flash on the N78 constantly on while video recording, just as you demonstrated the N79's duel flash in the latest phone show. And also do you have any recomendation for a program which can rotate the N78's screen which actually works with feature pack 2.
Thanks in advance
Nokia N-series phones are widely known for being rather beastly affairs, with big bodies housing features that make the iPhone 3G look like an �8 Alcatel mobile. But the N79, one of two new high-end cells from the Nokia stable, looks and feels like a solid but unspectacular candy bar from lower down Nok�s extensive range.
