Video: Smooth YouTube viewing directly from YouTube.com on the Nokia N900
Just a short video under 1 minute to look around YouTube.com on the Nokia N900 and the smooth video playback with its flash 9.4. No app necessary, no client, no mobile version. This is YouTube raw…on the N900 and as you can see from the video, ever so slightly cutesified! One of the main reasons [...]

New writer on mynokiablog! Welcome, llaadd aka Hiren Lad!
Since I started posting at mynokiablog back in April/May, a frequent visitor and commenter has always been Hiren. As well as participating in discussions, he’s been a big help in pointing out some mistakes in posts like inserting a wrong video or setting that video to private. I’m still really surprised of the readership mynokiablog [...]
Video: Nokia N900 Photo Rotation Speed
Just a quick video to show the speed of the Nokia N900′s rotation of photos, and that unlike previous Nseries default photo viewer, it rotates a complete 360 degrees. Although I didn’t show it in the video, when in Multitask view – the photo still rotates! And still super quick I might add.
Shiny Media's Video Review of the Nokia X6
Calling it “the noisiest phone they’ve ever reviewed”, it’s the Nokia X6 – comes with music phone. Taking over as the new music flagship (if there ever was one in Nokia’s line up) as well as being the top Xseries and first Nokia phone to sport a capacitive touch screen. Big hits for the “blackberry [...]
How to: Remove the back cover of the Nokia N900/Insert a wrist strap
This is a quick video that shows how to remove the battery cover and also how to insert a wrist strap. The back cover mechanism has been gradually refined over the years with Nseries. I remember the flimsy connecting stubs of the N95 and N93′s battery covers; they were so weak, they broke if you [...]
New Symbian UI is smoking hot!
….well at least in comparison to S60V5. A month ago, Symbian’s CEO gave a rather vague presentation on the new Symbian UI. On Thursday, Engadget posted up a sneak preview of the upcoming Symbian UI which no longer resembles the murky confusion that is S60. With the new Symbian UI users will have: Reduced clutter [...]
HD Video: Stunning 3D Gaming on N900 – Bounce Evolution – The Scenic Route
Graphics wise, whatever glitzy eye candy game you can show off on the iPhone, the N900 can do it too [and possibly look better if games will utilise the 800×480 screen of the N900 vs the Paltry 320×480 of the iPhone). Bounce Evolution was the first 3D game shown on the N900 and everyone was [...]
Video: The Phones Show – Episode 96 – mynokiablog have a cameo appearance with N900!
I’m an eager fan of Steve Litchfield’s the Phone Show [aka The Smartphone Show] and was honoured to be asked to help out in Episode 96 where Steve gives an introduction to the wonderful N900 and Maemo 5. There’s some Symbian news and top 10 apps for something called an iPhone – what is that? [...]
How To: Nokia N900 Keyboard Shortcuts
Unlike the N97, the Nokia N900 takes advantage of its QWERTY keyboard and utilises some helpful shortcuts to allow for certain actions or to just make some a bit quicker. Here I’ll compile the keyboard shortcuts for the N900. I don’t know them all yet, some I only picked up yesterday thanks to your tips [...]
Proporta [Nokia N900] Accessories – Teaser unboxing of TurboChargers, Cable Tidies and Beach Buoy
I made a comment in a post about N900 photo samples on Friday how my Proporta charger wasn’t working*. I would have loved to have used it last weekend when I was testing the N900 in London, instead I was plug-socket hunting and siphoning electricity whenever I could. The Proporta owners saw that post [thanks [...]
One week with the N900: 22 things I love and a few things (9) that I don't
One week on with the N900. Although I’ve reviewed and given a first impressions of the N900 in September, that was based on very short weekend usage. Here’s just over a week (received N900 last Wednesday) on what I’ve found so far. It was only meant to be a short number of things that I [...]
Nokia N900 – Photo Samples and Maemo5 camera UI – London Part 2
Here is the remaining photos from my weekend in London.[part 1] The N900 has a 5mp camera – 4:3 ratio at 2576×1936. It also takes widescreen 16:9 images at 2576×1488 (3.5MP). Although 5MP is higher detail, I prefer the framing of the 16:9 photos. They look better when viewing on the N900 and on the computer. [...]
Video: Nokia X6 playing Dance Fabulous – Trailer
Dance Fabulous – a dance coordination game shown on the Nokia X6. It doesn’t look half bad for a S60 5th Edition Game. [YOUTUBE=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcdZGvuAjjE]
Nokia N900 Low Light Video and Live Band Fantastic Audio Quality Samples
These are some short clips taken by the Nokia N900 to show low it’s performance in really low light and handling extremely loud audio recording (by the guys from “Platform Six“. The speakers were pretty much above the N900. As you can hear, the audio recording is fantastic. Where most other phones (and even dedicated digicams) would [...]
Nokia N900 Low light Photo Samples
Low Light photo, Flash off Let’s compare the fourth photo with the N82 which sports a Xenon Flash. This was actually not that good for N82, most other photos are solid clear – but on every occasion, the undisputed king of low light has about 99% success rate of sharp, well lit photos, frozen in [...]
