Nokia's New Mobile OS: Maemo Harmattan
In an interview about a couple of weeks back at the Nokia Developer Summit, David Rivas – Nokia VP, discussed the Nokia’s strategy for having multiple software platforms – basically stating that different devices need different OS for different tasks – not one OS fits the bill. The three major OS used by nokia are [...]
Palm Pre available first week of June!
The Palm Pre – it’s not a multimedia monster by any means but it’s still shaking up the game with its WebOS, focusing on the touch based usability and innovation; all starting from scratch as opposed to simply sticking a touch screen on their legacy OS (*cough* S60 Touch*). With Nokia supposedly concentrating a lot [...]
Symbian Foundation: What it's all about for a developer
Symbian Foundation have released a new video for developers. I can’t but wonder, what is on offer here that these developers can’t get by making the apps for the iPhone? Much rides on the hope that Ovi will be a successful distribution platform for these Symbian apps. Find out more about Symbian Foundation from their [...]
UK added to the Nokia N97 Pre-Order List
The UK has been added to the N97 Pre-Order list on the Nokia Website. You can get the black or the white one for £499.95 plus shipping. For that price, the shipping should really be free. Then again, what’s 9.99 shipping to someone who’s paying £499.95 for a phone? :p Check it out here Via [...]
News: Nokia N97 to appear as early as June 2nd for North American variant.
The Nokia Blog reports that the NAM version of the Nokia N97 maybe coming as early as June 2nd and yes, that’s 2009! Fingers crossed that date is rock solid and also that consumers outside the states will not have to wait much longer. The longer Nokia takes to launch the N97, the cheaper the [...]
Nokia N97 on O2, free at £45 via Carphone Warehouse
The N97 is coming to O2-UK not directly through O2 stores but via Carphone Warehouse, apparently perhaps so as “not to irk Apple with a direct iPhone competitor”. There’s one price mentioned, “Free phone, but £45 per month contract”. That’s not too bad considering iPhone is still £44.05 per month for the premium 16GB version. [...]
Freeware: Stopwatch/Countdown with Time Machine for Nokia 5800 and S60 5th Edition
The Time Machine app for the Nokia 5800 is both a stop watch and a countdown timer. When the countdown reaches zero, an alarm sounds. Pretty useful if you’re cooking something or as a parking meter alert. Yeah, you can use the general alarm clock but it’s easier to put in “n” minutes countdown and [...]
Nokia Star Trek Micro Site
As a self confessed Star Trek fan, I just loved the rebirth of the franchise with XI. So did 10 other mates who weren’t that particularly fussed about Star Trek. It’s endearing to see any of the Star Trek series and notice that their “advanced handheld touch devices” can actually be replaced by slicker, working [...]
Camera samples: Nokia N86 test shots
I was not going to post for a while as the intense exam period has started. But procrastinating led me to stumble on spazziocellulare’s post on N86. Of main interest are the sample photos. Scroll down (on the spaziocellulare post) and you’ll see these pictures, but make sure you click on them to view the [...]

Fantastic customer service with Logitech
This isn’t directly phone related or something majorly discussed about manufacturers, but it’s an issue we may sometimes face when something goes wrong with our electronic devices. Bad experiences I normally purchase my phones through carphone warehouse, but their customer service, for the 5 or more years I’ve been with them is appalling! One example [...]
New: Nokia E52 announced! Extreme battery life!
You most likely have heard by now that Nokia have announced the E52. It’s like the normal keypad version of the E55 aesthetically. I’m not much of a fan of the Eseries, except that is for their build quality. I mean, check out this video where build quality is emphised, “High quality Eseries build and [...]
Review: Nokia 7205 intrigue for Verizon
Ricky Cadden reviews the slick and stylish Nokia 7205 Intruige over at MobileBurn. It’s a classy little handset that doesn’t scream out high end features, but will still be a head turner due to its design. For more information and pictures of the Nokia 7205 Intruige check out the review at MobileBurn. There’s also a [...]
Video Samples: Nokia N97 in Monte Carlo, 4:3 and 16:9 sample videos
These are two video samples taken by the Nokia N97. Now, they’re not in HD but it’s the very best VGA (I think anyways) yet in camera phones. At least if it sticks to Nseries standard, you’ll know you’ll get excellent frame rate, stellar audio and the reliance that it will work very well in [...]

Video: Preview of the ferocious 1GHz Toshiba TG01
With a lot of whinging about the “meek” 434 MHz processor in the Nokia N97, if you really just want to show off some numbers, Toshiba offers 1GHz of Qualcomm Snapdragon goodness in their TG01 handset, complete with a whopping 4.1 inch screen in 480×800 resolution! PocketPCItalia show off the TG01 in their latest video [...]
Stunning iPhone/iPod Touch Game:Terminator Salvation
This is another example of what Nokia’s N-Gage platform is going to have to go up against. Not considered as a gaming phone due to lack of buttons, the iPhone now has a very formidable selection of great looking games that don’t skimp on gameplay. Here is Terminator Salvation by Gameloft for the iPhone/iPod Touch. [...]
Video: HD Demo of Nokia N97 with Julien Fourgeaud
Ah, another video, with N-quatre-vingt-dix-sept, demonstrated by Julien Fourgeaud. We’ve seen Julien demo the N97 plenty of times, and he knows the N97 more or less back to front, specifically the key strengths of this device. Make sure you click the “HD” button to get some appreciation for the detail on the N97 screen. Demo [...]
Review: Nokia E75 review by IT PRO
The E75 review from MobileBurn gave the E75 a “highly recommended” rating, but this review from IT PRO gives the E75 only 3 stars (out of 5). The main feature of the E75 is the keypad, although great for text, IT PRO finds it a major grievance that you have to hold down shift to [...]
