CJ Reports that Nokia has announced the new Nokia X5! Hang on, wait a minute, that looks nothing like the previously announced X5. What the hell is going on here?

Nokia's and Apple's Mobile Histories Side By Side
Writing the articles about my history with Nokia was apparently quite well-timed with the announcement of the iPhone 4, where Apple yet again announced a load of new features as being brand-new, game-changing aspects of their new device, despite the fact that Nokia have been pushing out countless gadgets with such things for a while. [...]
Video: HTC Evo 4G Vs Nokia N900 – WiFi Browsing Speed
Here’s a video showing the Nokia N900 by Mi5t4k3 holding it’s own against the 1 year newer HTC Evo 4G at browsing web pages, finishing either at same time or only a few seconds after the Evo. One thing I’m envying terribly on the Evo 4G – Those who love surfing the web within their [...]
Connecting People ….. Nokia are flattered
As you all know Apple announced the iPhone 4 on Monday with relatively underwhelming features, that were made to look like Apple invented them, by using buzzwords and other things that would make an average American journalist pee in their pants in excitement. Now at these Apple keynotes at the end of the keynote Steve [...]

Memory Lane, Part 2
Following on from part 1, as a new addition to Jay’s team here, here’s a look at what the second half of the last decade looked like for me, in terms of Nokia devices and the evolution of their specifications. My upgrade opportunity in 2007 was well-timed for the arrival of the iconic N95. Until [...]

Cambo has found a Nokia N8 Green Gallery from zol.com.cn. Take note that this is a C0 Nokia N8 and shows the different positioning of the wrist strap hole that we saw between C0 and N8 branded Nokia N8. In some angles it sort of looks like a vibrant GOLD. This and the silver N8 [...]

The feature [...]
Memory Lane, Part 1
If I had to guess, I suggest that very few readers of this blog would expect to come across a low quality image of an old Psion Series 5mx at the top of an article. Of course, we should never forget that Symbian, at the heart of so many modern Nokia devices, has its roots in [...]

House of Nokia: New Sseries and Nokia N9 MeeGo phone Confirmed? 7 top limit of C, E, and X phones.

N9 will therefore be Nokia’s Flagship, and first [...]
