Fring and videocalling on the N8
The guys at Fring have managed to get their hands on 1 (or more!) pre-production N8 devices for testing of their new app for the N8.

Nokia N8 hands-on (Updated)
the Delhi event for the Nokia N8, CJ from www.zomgitscj.com and Vaibhav Sharma from www.thehandheldblog.com managed to scoop a bit of hands-on time with the N8. It was their use and impressions based on having little to no prior experience with the device so the views are as raw as they get. Regardless it should [...]
Nokia N8 coming 26 August apparently ?!?!!?
Well at least in the UK according to MobileFun.co.uk. The handset will be sim-free for £419.99. Now this is not the official release date for the N8 as Nokia haven’t said anything yet. But according to to reports MobileFun.co.uk have said they have units ready to be sold so I am guessing they being serious [...]
Nokia Ireland shows bank of Ireland App

Nokia Nintendo phone almost happend
I had a weird dream or wish a couple of weeks ago that if Nokia where to buy another company then it would have to be my other favourite company Nintendo. Well today Pocket gamer are reporting that Nokia and Nintendo DID work on a Nokia Nintendo phone back when Nokia where developing the N-Gage. [...]
Nokia 5250 pictured clearly
Some clear pictures of a rumoured Nokia 5230 have appeared, first time I have actually heard of this phone it is probably based on Symbian 1 but looks decent a bit like the Sony ericsson X8 the slightly smaller version to the X10. BTW I thought Nokia had stopped using this naming convention thanks to [...]

We saw some pretty crazy pictures of lines in Indonesia for the Nokia C3 couple of months ago but this video really proves how popular the Nokia C3 really is. I mean seriously is this phone really that good ??? Reviews suggest that the Nokia E63 is a better pick up but then again with [...]
Nokia N8 unboxing
The good folks at TheHandheldblog got a preview of the N8 in its exact retail packaging and did an unboxing for our pleasure. As you can see the box is TINY !!! which is really nice in my opinion and I really like that Nokia are also going for the their traditional blue colouring for [...]

Nokia C6 Review: The good, the bad and the smart
Introduction Ever since it’s release under the Nokia’s Cseries branding, the Nokia C6 was bound to attract some attention. And for a good reason. The budget price range is quite unusual for what it offers in return: attractive design, a touchscreen enforced with a slide-out qwerty keyboard and all the connectivity you can eat, including [...]

More sample images. (This is getting ridiculous now)
Just happened across some images by a flickr user named sheridan01. Supposedly they came from a Nokia N8. A few of the images are a bit out of focus and the flash seemed to cause a bit of blue tinting (doubt the flash was needed for those photos). Some of them exhibit breathtaking quality. Jump [...]
Ovi store 2.0 demo
The guys over at symbianfrance.com managed to get their hands on a video of a demo of the updated application store that’ll be coming with the N8. Looks pretty decent I suppose. The common complaints about it taking a long time to load content blah blah blah are definitely still there. Personally I think it’s [...]

New Nokia ad,
Just bumped into a new advertisement, obviously targeted at the european markets. In spite of this, it’s definitely a massive improvement over their previous adverts and definitely seems to have taken a page out of Apple’s book in the way of demonstrating both “real life” situations and demonstrates a bit of an emotional connection that [...]
My Nokia Blog grows again.
In Jay’s absence I’d like to say a heartfelt thank you to all the readers of this blog for helping to sustain the growth of this blog. Jay, being pessimistic as he is , said at the end of June that in spite of the growth of the blog readership ~300,000 readers over the course [...]
