AAS regular Dirk Snoyt experienced the failure of his beloved Nokia N95 a month ago, as you may remember, following a long road trip. Dirk’s now put up a long, interesting and fairly convincing article explaining why he’s replaced it with… an N82. The change in form factor, plus smaller screen, is compensated for by the extra RAM, better GPS and Xenon flash.

In the fourth and (probably) last part of my series investigating whether a Windows-using S60 user should consider switching to an Apple Mac, I look at tethering, installing applications, backing up and updates. I also sum up my Mac experience and end up perched in a painful position right on top of a fence…

More on StyleTap, for those of you still longing for a way to bring your critical ‘vertical market’ Palm OS apps into the modern age, over at Symbian Guru, where Rita rejoices in the amount of thought that the StyleTap developers have put into getting Palm OS ‘into’ S60.

Gigabyte 9800GT Review @ OCC and other reviews from around the web can be viewed in our forums!

“Great googly moogly! The Gigabyte 9800GT has some game. The little 9800GT is no doubt helped by the Zalman cooler that keeps temperatures down. I figured I might as well go for broke with the added voltage offered in the Gamer HUD and pushed the needle to 1.4 volts. The clock speeds kept scaling upwards until I finally landed at 787MHz on the core (up from 600MHz), 1075MHz on the memory and 1863MHz on the shader cores. These clock speeds are higher than any of the 8800GT video cards that Overclockersclub has tested and represents increases of 24% on the GPU core, 16% on the memory and close to 20% on the shaders. Not too bad if I say so myself. At this level of performance, there were nice increases in all of the benchmarks used. Why the comparison to the 8800GT? Because the 9800GT is the basically the same card.”

It may not be a full production, boxed unit, but you won’t believe how much detail Rafe has been able to get into in this, his hands-on with Nokia’s latest and greatest, the N85. Look out in particular for the comparison photos between the N85 and other recent Nseries handsets - including the N79.
