Nokia N900 Review: First Impressions of Nokia's Mobile Computer (Hardware Preview + Live Pics inside!)
Nokia N900 Preview-Review This is a quick hardware preview-review of the Nokia N900′s hardware, which is a final production grade. The N900s we were using in London had pre-production firmware. Annoyances if any could still be solved, not that we played long enough to check everything out sufficiently for even a preview. Unfortunately, we had the impression [...]
Video: OneDotZero "Identity" Installation – Powered by the Nokia N900.
The main attraction at BFI was the Nokia N900 and the “Identity” Installation that was powered by the N900. You just type in your message on the N900, and via projector, displays your text across a 42 metre long wall (with 6 projectors). The text themselves are made up from twitter feeds concerning onedotzero. If [...]
Video: Nokia N900 Video Samples (low light – and also a 16:9 photo sample)
(Low Light) Video Samples from the Nokia N900. Note, the N900 is not yet at final production software. Also, if you’re watching this within the first few hours of me posting, YouTube may not yet have converted it properly yet. Update: If the video playback appears choppy, it does NOT look like that in the [...]
Nokia N920 Concept – How Nokia should approach a QWERTY keyboard?
Nokia N920 Concept This was just a 20 minute MS Paint job I did a while back. I have NO skill in photo editing, as is evident in the images – it is just a raw idea. The AIM was not to design a phone, but to show that within a given (compact) space, you [...]

Nokia 7705 Twist for Verizon (Photos)
The Nokia 7705 Twist is an intriguing square QWERTY phone that we first saw as a sketchy render, then later as a Chinese Clone of a supposed E81. Fone Arena has some high quality photos of the real Nokia 7705 coming to Verizon. Looks very similar to the clone, sporting the same twisting mechanism and [...]
Accessories Review: Nokia BH-905 review from NokNok
The Nokia BH-905 was announced early June and it caught my eye (or perhaps should I say my ears?) as it’s possibly the best bluetooth headphones out there and also the best accessory Nokia’s ever made. Note, the high praise is indeed matched by a high price. At £250, it’s a price only an audiophile [...]
Video: Nokia E52 Video Review by MobileBurn
It’s the more normal twin brother to the Nokia E55, with the striking difference that the Nokia E52 got an alphanumeric keypad as opposed to a half-QWERTY. The E52 is a really good monoblock, non touch smartphone with a stonkingly good 23 days standby and 8 hours talk time over GSM. Other notable features: 2.4″ [...]

Video: Nokia N97's firmware update 2.0 Preview (V20.0.0025)
You may have already seen Mark’s video on the Nokia N97′s firmware 2.0. Here’s a similar video from Symbian World but it’s a little bit clearer and longer on what is actually coming in October. I don’t know whether what’s demonstrated is the exhaustive list of changes or if there will be even more (I [...]
Freeware: Coin Toss Touch for the Nokia N97/5800/5530/X6/Samsung i8910 – S60 5th Edition
This app is free from the Ovi Store and it simulates, well, a coin toss. To flick the coin, it uses either the touch screen or the accelerometer. You’ll see a 3D coin resembling a penny twisting around in the “air”. It would have been nice if the speed/height/rotation was affected by the degree initial [...]
Video: The Phones Show – Episode 89: E52 and E55 review

Probably not the best example, but as you can see there’s formatting and images. Note: Compare it with original GMAIL view to see that images are being displayed. [...]
Successor of the Nokia N900!?
At Nokia World, the Nokia N900 was referred to as step 4 of 5 in the Maemo route to Smartphone perfection. Or words to that effect. The N900 is already pretty amazing, how much more could the successor be? Could this be Step 5? 4-Row keyboard WITH a numbers row – spacebar in the middle! [...]
