Steve is at it again with episode 45 of the Smartphones Show, this time he is on the ground at the Symbian Smartphone Show that happened last Tuesday and Wednesday. With a summary of all the new announcements plus a review of the N95 8 GB, this is worth 10 minutes of your time:
Stefan Constantinescu (@WhatTheBit on Twitter) has loved technology since as far back as he can remember. It started with computers, but in the past few years his passion has turned to mobile devices. As a mobile phone enthusiast who lives and breathes devices that connect to the internet, he knows he is not alone with this radical fascination of all things wireless. He is strongly opinionated and enjoys a good debate so leave comments in his posts and he’ll get back to you!
Stefan began blogging as a hobby in the fall of 2006 and joined IntoMobile in the summer of 2007. Later he got a job at Nokia in March 2008, but as of June 2009 he has rejoined the IntoMobile team. He is currently based out of Helsinki, Finland.

I heard that it takes a really long time to transfer files to the 8gb flash memory. Esp. to and from the computer because of the usb1.1 thing. Anyone have any information?
Is the North American one any faster?
Stefan Constantinescu
they are all slow, trust me. even the n81. i’ll mention that in my n81 review whenever that goes up.

I guess it would have been better for me had he compared the 8gb version with the NA version. Since I’m considering purchasing one of them.
MicroSD slot and 2.6″ or 8GB and 2.8″?

Even though I’m using a mac now, and have a full range of video editing software, I *still* prefer using Sony Vegas on windows (xp or vista) to edit mp4 files from my Nokia devices. It’s pretty easy if you’re used to a real video editor (not an iMovie app), lets you create plenty of custom effects – with live, no-rendering-needed preview – and plays very nicely with mp4 files created by these devices.
