N900 #OpenMobile art – and the big reveal is…
Following this little teaser from WomWorld/Nokia, I guess it’s our turn to put the cards on the table.

Maybe it’s just some random Spanish matador, [...]

What can you see in the photo below? Yesterday afternoon, I sat down in the lounge to get away from the bright lights and rest my irritated eye (think contact may have gotten scratched).

What will today's Nokia and Yahoo partnership announcement bring?
Since Friday, you may have heard about the illusive “Project Nike” a partnership between Nokia and Yahoo! (not Nike – she is the Greek Goddess of Victory). The details of what this will bring exactly isn’t certain although one commenter on Friday said Yahoo! search and mail to Nokia devices. That’s not really as exciting [...]

__________________- BACK STORY A couple of weeks back WOMWorld sent over a bumper box full of accessories and odd items like wigs, plastic flowers and fake snow. With that, I was supposed to make a video. I didn’t really understand it at the time, and even if I had understood the brief, I was buried [...]

The Nokia 5235 is a strupped down 5800, but with 2MP camera (instead of 3.2mp carl zeiss) and no WiFi. Note, that the 5235 is different from the 5230 because (supposedly) 5235 comes [...]
