Video: Typing with Bluetooth Keyboard (Nokia SU-W8) on the Nokia N900 – Finally replace your netbook?
I was really looking forward to using a bluetooth keyboard on the N900. With the brilliant web browser and insane multitasking, BT keyboard connection was basically the final step to really being that mobile computer – having a near full size keyboard to blast out really long blocks of text. e.g. on Notes, emails, messages, [...]

Video: Shake to wake! Shake to unlock the N900's screen!
Here’s a neat way of unlocking the N900 without using the unlock switch/opening the slide/using slide to unlock. Using the N900′s accelerometer, just shake and you’ll unlock the screen. The brilliance with it is that it will not work if the proximity sensor is covered, meaning that your N900 will not randomly unlock if in [...]
Nokia's Software Philosophy – FAIL!!!
I’d like to just start by saying this is just a bit of a rant from myself, llaadd, about Nokia’s entire approach to software deployment. I’m not talking about the actual UI, how well it does or in some cases does not work, but actually the way Nokia allows networks to bully them into making [...]

Video: Command And Conquer: Red Alert on the Nokia N900!
N900 is a champion at playing the old PC classics, such as Warcraft 2, Starcraft and Doom. Great games, although I wasn’t as big a fan of those as I was with this next game: Command And Conquer: Red Alert – which I think was the game that started off my liking for the old [...]

It was leaked a while ago, but now it’s official. “We are introducing the new Nokia C5, an affordable smartphone optimized for social networking and sharing.

Video: N900 Multitouch Pinch and Zoom 'Hack'. Ctrl+Shift+K* If N900 had iPhone Multitouch Pinch and Zoom. (*idding)!
Whilst looking for a stray .pdf document for my dissertation, I found this old video I did a couple months just messing about with Vegas.
