Sometimes you want to capture the full beauty of a landscape, only to be let down by the ability of your camera. It just can’t fit it all in. What you need is a panoramic camera, but they can be costly, and rather large too. Nokia Panorama from the Ovi Store transforms your Nokia N900 into a smooth panoramic image machine. Read on for our review of Mobile Panorama. Update: now also available for the Nokia N8.

Firstly, I should mention that this isn’t the only panoramic software for a Nokia device, or even for the N900, but it is one of the better, easier ones I’ve used. Nokia Panorama allows you to point and scan the horizon with you phone, and it tells you to go ‘up a bit’ or ‘down a bit’ when you go a little off track while panning, like I inevitably always do with this type of software. This app automatically takes the photos for you once it aligns itself with the previous photo, meaning your end result should always be picture perfect, and possibly less likely to suffer from camera shake.

The user interface is very simple and the options screen is pretty self-explanatory, meaning that there’s little chance of you making a mistake. At worst, you may want to do some work on the levels in PhotoShop, or similar, but then, that’s true of most mobile camera shots anyway.
