Audio-video
After the multimedia menu comes up, we can see the quadratic interface we could have seen on N95 8 GB. This can be rotated like a roundabout, so we cannot browse only the main functions, but also the submenus connected to them. Of course it’s not obligatory to use this whenever we’re looking for musical or video contents, as the music player, the radio or the video player can be accessed from the main menu too.
Music is the best with a headset, it’s not so good on the handsfree (of course it’s not bad for a phone), the headset is included is medium-quality, but it can be taken apart, so we can use any kind of headset plugged directly in the phone or as a lengthener for the default headset’s controller part. The player is very simple, it has all the features one could expect, it displays album covers, lists tracks by ID3 tags, it can run in the background, it has repeat and shuffle modes. I might not even have to mention that there is stereo Bluetooth support too. The equalizer has eight bands, there are factory presets, but we can create custom ones too. We can configure which of our ears is weaker and on that side the music will be louder; there is wide stereo, which I think should rather be called “swimming-pool” mode, as it just echoes the volume.
This is where I should mention that we again have 3D ringtones that cannot be used for anything, but the SMS reader is practical, it can read out messages loud (English only). The built-in FM radio can work in two modes; there is a Visual version which requires this service to be available in the given region, and there is an Internet Radio, which doesn’t receive broadcast via the headset, but from the Internet. A simple 3G is enough for this, but HSDPA is quite a wide-spread technology too nowadays. There is no RDS feature in any of them, but when choosing the first one (Visual) the handset can download the list of available radio stations at our location, so we don’t have to manually tune it.
The phone can record videos in VGA resolution (almost one and a half hours of video can be recorded on the 16 GB of internal storage when setting the lowest quality) and they can be played back full-screen, landscape mode. In the Video central we cannot only play back the videos we recorded, but we can use streaming technology to watch movies from the web, the phone offers YouTube and Reuters services for example.
