25,000 euros for a Nokia 1100
Why? A particular German version of this extremely popular low end Nokia phone has a flaw that can be exploited by scammers to intercept messages and crack banking security. The end of the story is a bit like an episode of the UK show, “Hustle” as it appears it that the scammers were being scammed [...]
What makes a Flagship handset?
Over at Nokia Conversations, where they’re celebrating their first anniversary today, the question they’re asking is: “What makes a Flagship handset?“ Here are my thoughts on the subject: A flagship phone is something that encapsulates the achievements of that manufacturer, i.e. having the best of EVERY great feature you have once included in previous handsets, [...]
Projectors in Nokia phones? No? SCT optronics can do it!
Here’s a GSM handset measuring in at 122.4 x 59.2 x 21.1mm, weighing 190g and costing $250. What’s so special about it? It has a built in projector! So, phones are getting larger and larger screens, making it more plausible to actually watch films or other lengthy videos. But what if we wanted others to [...]

Nokia N97 Clone
If you can’t wait till June or don’t want to burn a whole in your pocket, here’s the N97 clone – and it’s a pretty good copy that only a techy would notice. It’s also not just the touch screen shell, but it even has the flick stand sliding mechanism. But best of all, check [...]
Cloning Labs cross an Apple iPhone with a Nokia N96. Result: the NokiPhone N3000i
Here’s a transgenic, chimeric, phone clone, complete with aesthetics of the iPhone and even the dual sliding mechanism of the N96 (at least that’s the Nseries it most resembles). Host of features include your uninspiring but seemingly value for money: 3.2″ 16:9 widescreen touch screen, 2mp camera (which is apparently equivelant to 5 PIXES; yes [...]
Nokia 5800 mods: Nokia 97's widgets and capacitive screens!
This is two separate news but I’m covering them both in this post. Nokia N97 firmware on the N97 The first is the 5800 with N97′s firmware – this means the coveted active widgets that N97 product managers have said would be exclusive to the N97. [via JUSTAMP] New Nokia 5800 to get Capacitive displays? [...]
Black, White…or Pink Nokia N97?
Whilst googling for “white commisure” (I have a neuroanatomy exam coming up), my ever wandering mind darted to thinking about what colour N97 I might get in June (if all three options were available). [from tamoggemon.com and symbian-freak.com; it maybe the lighting, but this looks 1. just too "in your face", 2. Pink] Ruling out [...]
The best feature on the N97? Memory? Keyboard? No it's Ovi!
Applications address the limitations of our phones; shifting new interest into tired devices either by bringing wished features or an entirely new use not considered before. Ovi will be “the door” to bring those applications to our devices. So that’s why, for me, the best feature on the N97 is OVI. Once I get used/”bored” [...]
SixthSense gesture interface: Real life is the new screen.
We’ve seen how with the S60 application, Handwave, users can take advantage of the front camera to convert hand gestures into basic navigation of phone controls. What if you can turn all your hand gestures into something that your phone can recognise? Produce a square with your thumbs and pointer fingers to frame and capture [...]
Swivelling Nokia QWERTY ?
[From Boy Genius Report] Shield your eyes; a swivel style S40 phone with QWERTY keyboard is coming to Verizon around July/August. I’m hoping the image above was made in paint just for visualization purposes. BGR
Touch Screen N86: The N86 Clone.
Here’s another clone: the NCKIA (nCkia) N86, complete with 2.6″ QVGA touch screen, 13.0 “lacpixel” camera (1.3MP), bluetooth – all your usual clone features – the clone really is just an imitating shell of the next new hot phone. $112 from eemobi.
More Nokia Touchscreens!? What's the Nokia Nautilus?
Apparently there’ll be three slim touch screens coming out from Nokia as early as fall. By Christmas, there maybe an addition to the internet tablet family with a new device musch like the N810, sporting 4.2″ touch screen and hidden slide out keyboard. [Concept Nokia Phone - I'm loving the screen realty here - no [...]
Nokia 5800 Clone
Happy Easter! The girls have their obscenely fake designer handbags; the guys have their imitation phones. This is another 5800 clone. It’s not a faithful imitation of the real 5800. Instantly you can see it’s plumper and the back is silver. Strangely though, I actually thinking it looks nicer than the actual 5800. This clone [...]
Demo of the N97 compass
This video demos the widgets and the N97′s compass.(Note to self, get screen wipes for the N97) The point of the compass is to orientate your map in the direction which your facing. From the video, you can see it’s very sensitive thus a very promising addition to Nokia Maps. No more looking at your [...]
Bluetooth 3.0 coming April 21st
Your phone most likely has Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR, capable of achieving 3Mbit/s speeds within about a 10 metre range. Bluetooth 3.0 is expected to have up to 480Mbit/s transfer rates and with Generic Alternate MAC/PHY (AMP) may allow for WiFi over Bluetooth. I transfer all my phone media to my computer via Bluetooth. Just [...]
HTC Touch Pro2 – What the N97 should have been?
With end of May/early June (release of N97) looming, I’m getting some doubts again about what I’m actually looking for in a new phone. Not really “the best out there” but “the best for me” (but as a phone geek it’s very much the same thing) The N97 claims to be a mobile computer: Relatively [...]
How the durabiliy of Nokia phones are tested!
Nokia has been well known for a selection of fortuitously rugged phones. I bet many of you still have a working 3300 despite the many times you have dropped it. Or what about that 1600 that was found in the belly of a fish but still worked? My N82 lives even after swimming in a [...]
