Advertisements Whilst at the Nokia Flagship Store, I noticed these black and silver BH-905s! I’ve been looking forward to seeing one of these for real sine its announcement earlier in June.

Holy smokes! The N900 is at a rock bottom price considering it’s Nokia’s highest spec’d Nseries device to date. Not only is it cheaper than the N97 at launch (both SIM free and contract) – it’s cheaper than the N97 on contract right now! Even better is that you have the choice of excellent 24, […]

Aah, the slide to unlock. A side swiping gesture made iconic by the Apple iPhone. No button combinations, holding keys or unlock switches – just a somewhat futuristic thumb-flick to the right.

My phone’s been off all day, so I’ve only just found my messages from Jussi Makinen kindly answering some more of my questions on the N900 (Very hard to do concisely express questions on twitter). I asked about the video codec support, whether it could play videos without needing the likes of mplayer. – Jussi […]
