Nseries LA event: Preliminaries & sea of phones
Ok, so I just realised now why all my shots keep getting blurred with sunbursts at the lower left corner – there’s a massive smudge on the dang lens that’s preventing the camera from focusing properly – eeek! Sorry guys, I only noticed that now. (Now, maybe with no lens cover on the new N95 [...]
Nokia N95 with 1200mAh BL-6F battery! It's possible!
Since the very beginning we’ve been told that the reason the N95-3 and N95-8GB’s shutter was removed was due to the larger battery. Even though I saw the N95-8GB at London, the model I tested did not have the BL-6F for me to find out wheter it could fit or not. But I was amongst [...]
Touring LA, Part 2: N95 goes to Hollywood
N95 at Virgin MegaStore: – With emergency charger – Reflected my Master Chief’s helmet – With the almost iPhone Walk of Fame… Britney Spears Mary-Kate & Ashley Antonio Banderas Matthew Brodderick James Burland (oh yeah, with Harrison Ford) Anthony Hopkins Halle Berry Steven Spielberg Nicole Kidman Martin Scorsese Charlize Theron Nokia Eninetyfive Bing Crosby Shirley [...]
Touring LA! Part 1.
So, whilst we wait for the rest of the US group to come to the Crowne Plaza, James, Chris, Delon, Abhi and I travelled around Los Angeles to see the sights, experience a bit of LA and get some pics/vids. What a city! Like Vegas, everything here seems larger than life. Passing by the landmarks [...]

James & Frank Chaslam angel_wing0 (Watch the drinks) Where’d the booze go? Donna Suffling Listening to Mike… James & Mike Davison Oh, btw, abhi from HoFo also came last night but I [...]
Grilling of Nokia peeps.
This lovely herbed chicken breast has been grilled to perfection, and in a few hours, so will Nokia Product managers by the many attendants at today’s Nseries event at LA Mansion. That’s my dish yesterday when I had dinner with Donna, Frank, James, Chris, and Delon (sorry if that’s mispelled) We met up with [...]
N95 Rant: Battery covers/Bigger Batteries/New back cover
I mentioned when first testing the N95 beta, that sooner or later I would have problems with the stupid frail plastic hooks intented by Nokia to keep your battery cover in place. Due to the relatively weak battery of the N95, it’s a must to carry a spare battery. Swapping batteries often whilst in a [...]
MMMMM…Meeting of N95s
Even within a small sample batch of five N95s (Mine, Donna’s, Frank’s, James’ and Chris’), there’s already much difference between the build quality between each one, particularly the presence or lack of, of the slider wobble. The states of wear and tear is also interesting to see, with mine looking the sorriest of the lot [...]
We're in LA!
Frank, Christian, James and I arrived in LA at about 2pm local time. After immigration and customs we got to the Crowne Plaza Hotel where our group met up with WOMWorld’s Donna and Howard forum’s angel_wing0. Extremely toasty weather, really friendly people; yay LA! My N93′s being a bit of a bugger and not charging [...]
Nokia All In One Torch!
(Camera cap is covering led slightly, plus this N93 is dimmer than my other one – but you get the jist) Most N93 users will tell you that the one-touch-torch button is extremely useful for tasks beyond the simple video light/flash it was intended for. My N93 is my torch, albeit, not comparable to dedicated [...]
Prepare to lose some dignity: It's the Nokia Wrist Band CP-218
See into S60 blog’s Phil has been testing out the Nokia Wrist Band CP-218 “The CP-218 is essentially a gym sock with a hole cut in it and the word “Nokia” printed on it “ Too right it is! The more frightening thing is that it’s actually official Nokia goods. Yes, that’s right. Nokia really [...]
Phone start up times. How quick is yours?
How long does it take for your phone to start up? My basic Nokia phones like 3310, 2100, 6080 take mere seconds to turn on. My N95 takes well over half a minute. Granted, that is a powerful smartphone, but there are many other smartphones that start up much quicker. Even older generations, not just [...]
N800 + no WLAN = :(
There should be free WiFi everywhere!! This was a post I wrote on the 19th, when all the internet access I had was cabled gmail/gtalk. No WLAN. No google. No nothing. The N800: it’s a device that’s as good as the internet. i.e. What ever is on the web, fairly certain that the N800 can [...]
Less than 24 hours to go till I start heading off for LA!
It’s currently almost 03:00 of Tuesday, 25th September 2007. I can hear Jack Bauer’s “Damn its!!” and the infamous bleeping of that 24 Clock. Quite a few things need to be done today including packing for LA, which, I have not even started. At the early hours of the 26th, I’ll be heading off to [...]
Freebie: Nokia Threaded SMS/MMS Application!
Nokia’s just released a brand new free (beta) application called Nokia Conversation! Basically it puts all messages (SMS/MMS) of one contact into one easy manageable folder, including both received and sent messages. You may have heard it called threaded SMS; not what I imagined threaded to be (like Gmail thread or vBulletin threads) but: it’s [...]
7 days till I go to LA!
OK, well, not including today (19th Sept 2007) that’s 7 days till I join Frank G of WOMWorld and Chaslam of 3G forums in jetting off to Los Angeles for the Nokia Nseries event on 27th (heading out on 26th) September at a Hollywood hills mansion and meet up with what seems to be the [...]
N95 8GB versus iPhone
I met the great Steve Litchfield in London last month at the London Go Play event, sharing hands on with the upcoming N95 8GB. He’s put the King Pins of the 8GB Mobile phones against each other, but who wins out? I’m excited about the iPhone, I still haven’t touched one or even seen one [...]
Video Comparison: Nokia N93i Vs Nokia N95
From iGadgetLife Results are pretty surprising. Whenever I’m given the option, I always choose my N93 over my N95 for video taking. It just produces less of that horrible wobble when you’re panning the camera on the N95. Furthermore, optical zooming is a bigger plus on video (not so much with stills), not to mention [...]
