Trusted Review's Video Review of the Nokia N900 – 9/10 performance…but…
Back in December, Trusted Reviews published their review of the N900. There were some concerns with the review (commissioned, no live photos at the time) after apparently seeming to be no more than a preview (it was a commisioned review, originally without any pictures), not fit for a gadget oriented site. Over a month later, [...]

iPad vs Booklet 3G/Netbook vs N900/Smartphone vs laptop: Which is the most productive device?
Imagine you could only have one device on a day’s work. Steve Jobs criticized netbooks yesterday saying netbooks aren’t better than anything. Apple are now trying to carve yet another new niche (the path pre-paved by iPhone) or at least make people think that’s what they’re doing. Really, they’re just polishing, adding sprinkles of BS [...]

The guy’s over at Pocket lint heard from Nokia’s UK boss Mark Loughran that on the 26th there will be a new Nokia being released…there is a lot of speculation as to what this phone is, the guy’s over at NokNok think it might be the new Maemo but in my opinion, I would doubt [...]
YouTube advertising counterfit Nokia N900 (Clones!) Fake N900 unboxing?!
I was reading a question comment on one of mynokiablog’s YouTube videos when I noticed an advert for the N900 underneath the video. But it wasn’t any ordinary N900. It was a fake dual sim knock off. It’s quite an accurate copy of the N900, I mean, it least the slide is sideways, unlike this [...]

If N900 had a 4-row keyboard and/or a tilted screen?
I saw some incoming referral links from Maemo.org about an old post I did where an unknown Nokia device had a rare four row keyboard, the top being dedicated for numbers. I revealed the first image to be simply a cheap-ass MS paint job as a concept of a proper 4-row QWERTY keyboard on a [...]

Video: Numpty Physics on the N900 – Incredible interactive drawing puzzle game
Numpty Physics is a brilliant game enjoyed by tablet users since the days of the 770, and its compatible for N900 owners too! The basic premise of the game is to get the red thing (may change per level; here it’s the start button) towards the yellow thing (in this case, a star). You do [...]
