Live: Nokia N8 and X5 (unofficial) walkthrough videos.

I had these videos ready since early Tuesday, but the provided Internet connections weren’t fast enough to upload the videos to YouTube in a timely manner.

Anyway, here are the short, ad–hoc demo (or walkthrough) videos for the Nokia N8 and X5 smartphones shown off during Monday’s Nokia Connection event.

(My apologies for the poor sound quality — there were simply too many people around, and the place wasn’t big either…)

Live: Samsung’s Galaxy, OMNIA, Wave line–up refreshed.

 

For us that live on product announcements relating to mobile telephony and related products and services, this year’s CommunicAsia event in Singapore is possibly the least interesting (even though this was somewhat expected).

Of the big brands, only Samsung had a stand at the show (LG was still here last year) — and, as per usual, had several new models to show off. If I had never asked the representing staff at the stand, I would have probably missed these.

Live: Nokia Connection 2010, Singapore.

Jo Harlow, Nokia’s Senior VP of Smartphones, showing off their latest flagship device, the Nokia N8.

Mobique is in Singapore this week for the usual round of mobile fanfare.

The annual CommunicAsia show is the expected highlight. But, as always, the world’s largest phone maker does its own event externally in the form of the ‘Nokia Connection’ event, held at some hotel in the Lion City.

This year, Nokia brought the forthcoming N8 flagship in its numbers to the event, to let us attendees get a feel of the device. While these were “early prototypes”, we were free to abuse give them (and its advertised features) a run for their money.

Nokia also announced the new X5, a QWERTY–based slider smartphone with a focus on music and social networking. The X6, a product that’s already on the market, gets a new 8GB — to be known as the X6 8GB — model added to its stable.

My impressions on these devices? More after the jump — plus live photos!

HTC's offering: Legend. Desire. HD mini.

I felt right at home, at MWC, after having sat through HTC's press conference this morning.

Why? Because their announcement actually felt like one that would typically be made at such an event. Every press event that I've been to so far has either been underwhelming or has brought absolutely no surprise.

Anyway, what's most important here are the products announced…
