@CU... I have been shooting with camera pro since you told me about it... but what method are you using to resize to 12mp... do you mind sharing the steps? ..... Or are you just using PhotoShop and doing a "basic" edit image size?
thanks

Simple downsize mate.. I use Gimp but you can use PS as well. I just make sure that I use the lanczos algorithm to downsize since its the closest to nokia's pureview stuff, or at least this is what I read somewhere lol |

Awesome photos.
I received the bluetooth shutter, sadly only works with camera pro 2.2.8
it doesnt work with the latest camera pro 3.5 or camera pro net edition 1.0 (the bluetooth/wifi controlled one)
Harald Meyer, the developer, has been very helpful at all times. I think he changed something when moved from 2.x to 3.x
not gonna argue with him the reasons for this, and im thinking returning the remote. Or keep it. Not sure, is handy though and might work in other phones I might get in the future.

You see... most of us who actually use an 808 and don't mind Symbian are in fact forced to switch to something else. If there was any sort of support for Symbian I wouldn't even bother looking at anything else.
For me a 720p screen with any sort of snapdragon + faster 1gb RAM would be sufficient for another 2 years at least. QT5 would've been great as well.. more powerful apps, and more of them... if Nokia didn't close the store of course.
I also don't understand the trendy urge to switch phones every 6-8 months.. you don't change your PC every 6 months because its a complete product, it doesn't need to be changed because it works and it does what it does well.
So what's up with smartphones ? What's different ? |

I totally agree with you.
I've had so many different Symbian phones since the 7650 I've lost count and loved using them all and would continue to be using them today if the support was there.........but its not anymore.
I also agree with the author of the topic when he says that Symbian now feels like its was built for a different era.
Sometimes you have to move on and roll with the changes
I just don't see how the aforesaid article is biased, its seem a very level headed and quite well written article.

Things get a little tricky with that statement to be honest..
Do you mean that the foundation of the UX was built for different era ? Because that statement really doesn't make sense on a OS level... EKA2 is built to live in the mobile world, unlike NT (WP), Linux (andro), and Unix (iOS) so that makes it very much suitable for the current era of communication devices.
All Symbian needed is good engineers that can port it to newer SoCs and faster RAM... everything else about the OS is as modern as it gets.
There were on the right path here: http://www.intomobile.com/200[....]-multi-core-cpu-configuration/
but we all know how that went..
Here, read this: http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1578523
it might give you a better idea of what Symbian is all about.

Im afraid you can point me to all the articles telling me " what Symbian is all about" all you like, I'm just saying that as a very very long time user it is no longer relevant really, and as soon as you stop emotion getting in the way of your thought processes you'll realise that too.
Speaking as a Hi-Fi enthusiast I know how much "progress" can sometimes leave great things extinct and leave you with the turd that is MP3, but I also accept that "it is what it is" I can still buy vinyl for my audio needs, but its a pain finding it and not all new releases support it, a bit like using Symbian nowadays, it can be done but there are sacrifices to be made and the situation will only get worse and you will have to miss out on certain things
The fact that all the other three major OS's were "not meant to live in the mobile world" as you say but continue to dominate must tell you something. I have no affinity with any of them, I choose WP8 because it suits me best.

Like what exactly? Trendy apps? The latest design? LoL.
I rather continue using my 808. And about WP, from a symbian user, is a downgrade. Android or BB10 are closer to what symbian offer. WP is none this none that. No file explorer is the first example that comes to my mind.

No, just support, OS updates and yes apps, ones that will be useful in the future
Fella as I've stated above I'm on your side here, I am a Symbian fan, always have been and always will be and almost certainly longer than you have been. You continually rolling out the same argument about no file explorer are becoming repetitive and when WP8.1 is officially released, irrelevant (there's that word again) I appreciate that the new WP8.1 file explorer will not be as capable as Xplore or FExplorer for Symbian but at least its a start
Anyways can we go back to your original statement and can you tell me why the article mentioned was biased ? a long time Symbian user realises its time to move on and gives his reasons for doing so........where's the problem?

Of course there are market condition caused by forces beyond the customer's control, and if we didn't live in a corporate dominated market place, I would say that this is the natural way for the market to decide what works and what doesn't.. but alas that isn't the case so what we are presented with in the market place doesn't directly reflect what is best for the consumer. Does that make sense ?
The statement "meant for a different era" is loaded to say the least, and if you look at it from a technical point of view, its invalid, which is what I tried to show with the articles I posted. There are no emotions here..
I understand your point, but the analog (vinyl) vs. digital (mp3) analogy is far fetched. The basis for digital wining over analog are much deeper and more complex than in the case of two operating systems.
This is a completely different topic, but I believe that sooner or later digital will win over analog in music making itself, or in other words it would replace real instruments.. the potential is there, I think its just a matter of time. Its sounds crazy, I know.. but a lot of people thought that nothing can ever replace the type writer either... |
