Extra length Phones Show with my longest video review for three years: the Google Nexus One. Plus an interesting look at Vlingo on Symbian and the future of voice recognition in smartphones. NB: it has been pointed out to me that Quickoffice viewers ARE in the firmware. There's just no icon or way into a document browser. So you may not need Docs To Go etc.

Woww, this is the most accurate review I’ve seen on youtube so far! Well done

Well, the Nexus One now HAS multi-touch zooming, so….
November 16th, 2011 at 3:09 pm
There’s no multi touch zooming because that is patented to Fingerworks, a company Apple bought before releasing the iPhone.

Every two weeks. Sometimes a few days less. Sometimes a few days more. Have to work around news and around life!

Do you have set dates for posting new episodes (for example thursdays every three weeks) or are they just posted now and then?
November 16th, 2011 at 4:22 pm
Good question. I have to confess that I’ve never used a playlist in my life – I just play ‘Albums’. I know, boring.
Can anyone else help here with a solution?
November 16th, 2011 at 5:19 pm
Hello Steve, i have a question concerning N97 software updates. Is there any way of not losing my playlists after every update? Because sorting hundreds of songs again and again is annoying. Thanks in advance

Flawless? Hardly. Video capture codec is appalling, virtual keyboard in landscape is terrible, battery life isn’t brilliant. And so on.
And with brightness on full, the phone is dead in two hours use.
Voice recognition will get better as Google tune their backend servers.

This phone is flawless, any flaws is normally caused by the moron user or x-ifaglimitedphone user.
Brightness? Screen not good out doors? Voice recognition doesnt work?
hmm screen works 100% fine everywhere, its the best on any device, you’d know that if you went to settings, and removed the auto light sensor and brightened up the screen.
Voice recognition? Your accent is too heavy there buddy, works fine with me and english is my second language.
Multi touch has been implemented 100%. Stop it.

will you be doing a review on the motorola milestone??
November 16th, 2011 at 7:44 pm
thanks steve
November 16th, 2011 at 8:33 pm
Tough decision. N97 mini will do more but Milestone has its positives. Suggest trying them both in a store?

hi steve. i am about to get a new phone and was wondering if you could help. i cannot choose between the nokia n97 mini or the motorola milestone. your help would be much a appreciated. P.S. i know that you already know this but i just wanted to tell you that skyfire for s60 5th edition is out as a beta now as well. THANKS AGAIN

good video.

Thanks for the review Steve. I’m just amazed at just how fast the Nexus is when browsing and switching screens in “Marketplace”. I used to be happy with my G1 until I saw this..
November 16th, 2011 at 10:22 pm
Thanks, only 100 shows to catch up on! Do start with the newer ones though, the picture quality’s better and the content more up to date – obviously!

May even be a guest reviewer…. watch this space!
November 16th, 2011 at 11:42 pm
N97. Because Nokia support their devices. Samsung have yet to prove themselves.

Bit late for the video, but yes, I’ve already upgraded and will mention it in the next show!

@Steve Litchfield
Hey, Steve yesterday(Feb 2nd) google released a firmware update that gives the Nexus 1 multitouch in the form of pinch to zoom in all of its Official application. (browser, photo app ect ect…)
