Nokia N96

The Nokia N96 has a pretty hefty reputation to live up to. It is a true powerhouse, and the finest converged device of its time. With a 5 megapixel camera, 3G data, the powerful S60 UI and eventually 8GB of internal memory there were few devices that could compete with it, and arguably no one could do it as well. Then, along came a little device out of Cupertino and the cellular landscape changed. Not one to be reactive, Nokia has stuck to its guns with the retooled N96 and delivered an upgraded device that once again aims to sit atop of the mobile industry; improvements include 16GB of internal memory with microSDHC expansion and an integrated DVB-H tuner for mobile.

<b>Included in the mobile box you’ll find the following things :</b>

• Li-Ion Battery.

• AC adapter.

• 3.5mm headphones with microphone adapter.

• RCA TV-out cables.

• USB sync cable.

• Vehicle adapter.

The design of the phone is great and definitely inspired by the dual-sliding N95, the N96 is a much more modern and sleek device. Like the N81 everything on the device is flush with the exception of the directional pad and Multimedia key, giving the N96 a much more modern and minimalist appearance than its predecessor. The sharp corners of the N95 are now smoothly rounded, and the keys are only apparent when illuminated.

The front of the phone is comprised mostly of the 2.8” QVGA display. At 16 million colors, the same as the iPhone, the display is extremely vivid and colorful. It is easily readable in any lighting conditions, though oddly enough colors tend to wash out in direct sunlight. At the top is a pinhole front-facing VGA camera and earpiece. Below is the navigational cluster, which features right and left soft keys, the five-way d-pad, send, end, menu and clear keys and a multimedia key. Also hidden are multimedia playback controls, which sit outside the four corners of the d-pad and illuminate when the keypad lights up. The menu and clear keys, which are on the corners, can be a bit cramped and awkward to press.

The phone slides up to reveal a standard 12 key dialpad. The keys are all flush, and while they offer sufficient feedback navigating without looking is all but impossible. As is often the case with sliders, the overhang can interfere with the top row of keys. The keypad is also a bit too wide for our liking, and on the whole we weren’t too crazy about tapping out messages on this thing.

A downward slide changes the screen orientation to landscape and reveals four media keys- FF, Play/Pause, Stop and RW- that can also be used for gaming controls. N-Gage is also on board, and there are a few pre-loaded demos as well as plenty of downloadable content for the user. Like the keypad, these keys are dark at rest but illuminate white when being used.

The black face of the phone is offset by the silver housing surrounding the N96. Unfortunately it is plastic, and cheep feeling plastic at that. It’s not incredibly cheap, but cheap enough that we’re ashamed to see it in such a high-end device. The right side of the phone features stereo speakers at the top and bottom corner, which sit at the top of the phone when watching TV in landscape mode. It also houses the volume rocker and camera key. On the left side is simply the covered microSDHC slot. The card sits a bit too deep in the phone for our liking, which makes it hard to both press to remove and to physically take out of the phone once it is pressed in.

Could a pinhole microwave camera be made?

Could a pinhole microwave camera be made? I'm talking about a camera to see the wavelengths used by cell phone. If I remember right, they're a maximum of a few inches in size. Is there an easy way to focus microwaves like a camera focuses visible light, or would it have to work like a pinhole camera? Would mirrors work, like a reflective telescope? How much "brighter" is a cell phone than background microwave radiation on the earth?

Cell phone wavelengths are about one foot. Your "pinhole" would need to be wider than the wavelength. It would have to be made of an electrical conductor, and it's resolution would be the distance from the hole to the sensor divided by the diameter of the hole. The sensor would be an array of cell phone receivers.

Microwaves can be focused by a conductive reflector like the big horn antenna used to discover the cosmic microwave background ratiation. (See picture of antenna at link below.)
