Video: Nokia N8 Snow Fall at night – Low Light and Night Mode in very low light
topolino70 shows normal mode versus night mode on the Nokia N8. In video mode the N8 has normal, low light and night mode. Low light gathers more light without visible frame drops (not tested how much if any). In night mode there’s significant light increase when in low light but the video will appear choppy. [...]
Video: Ovi Games – Sonic Jump, Tropical Towers and Zuma's Revenge demoed on the Nokia N8
I think these games are S60 5th Edition unless they’ve been updated for Symbian^3 – either way both users will be able to download these apps from the Ovi Store. Sonic Jump Can’t seem to find it on Ovi Store but it was there. Tropical Towers Save the monkeys! Only you can help them [...]

Check this out. This is a CPS2 Emulator to play some of those vintage Capcom Play System II games on the Nokia N900. No overclocking needed this is a very efficient emulator that runs perfectly at the stock 600MHz (some other emulators – e.g. – needed N900 to be overclocked) And due to the keyboard [...]
Video: Nokia C6-01 user interface demo and Review
The cheaper cousin (very reasonably priced) of the Nokia N8 and C7, the rightful 5800 successor that is the C6-01 gets a software hands on demo from GSM Arena. This shouldn’t come as anything new as what you see in the N8 you’ll see also with the C7 and similarly with the C6-01. Pretty much [...]

My Dream Nokia #5: Nokia E10 MeeGo Phone-Tablet transformer with Foldable 6.5*4" screen and solar panels #concept
This was found at concept-phones by Jim which happily sits in the Dream Nokia/Designs category. This one is pure design (less about tech specs). Practicalities aside, this concept E10 transforms into a pocket monster (not a pokemon). As in it’s pocketable at first but then becomes this 6.5*4.0 tablet through some folding actions. I don’t [...]

Nokia N8 Saving Engadget Editor’s WP7-killed microSD Story on Engadget
Yesterday, Andre wrote a post about how a Nokia N8 brought back to life Engadget Editor’s WP7-killed microSD, thanks to Antonio. Some thought that Engadget wouldn’t dare glorify a Nokia by posting about such a story. That’s now on Engadget So how does Nokia come into play here? Well, it turns out that Symbian is [...]

New Firmware for Nokia N8/Symbian^3 PR1.1 coming in a couple of weeks? New Browser?
Your N8 may be receiving a firmware update in a couple of weeks time according to resident Nokia guru alex68 That’s the same guy who’s shown us the new browser, dragable homescreen and portrait QWERTY keyboard (as well as other Nokia info). So he’s seated himself quite a reputation. Currently we’re on firmware 1.0. But [...]
Freeware: Nokia Battery Monitor – with activity usage estimates! S^3 and S60V5 (+video demo on 5800)
Right, as battery meters and monitors go – they’re often quite boring, just telling you how much you have left by a visual indicator. If you’re lucky it might give an estimate in time remaining based on current usage. With the Nokia Battery Monitor, it really does monitor your power usage based on what [...]
Video: Non Techie's Nokia N8 review (Previous N95 user) "A brilliant, brilliant phone"
Here’s a Nokia N8 review from a non-techie possibly unknown to you and me. Previously a N95 user, he’s moved up to the Nokia N8 and is very happy with it. Surprisingly, the only point he seems to have qualms with is the Nokia N8′s camera. The BEST camera on a phone on the market [...]
Video: Nokia E7 Speaker Test
Want to know how the speakers sound on the Nokia E7? This was difficult to test in a noisy Conference environment such as Nokia World. uptodateksa2 has some time alone with the E7 and plays some Natalie Imbruglia and Yonas Bardouh (the latter which he says is not his taste :p). Check out the new [...]
Event: Final Day MeeGo Conference Day 3 (BoF stuff)
The Final Day of the first ever MeeGo conference is upon us. Nothing is happening today on the live stream front. It’s more BoF (Birds of a Feather) thing. “where the attendees group together based on a shared interest and carry out discussions without any pre-planned agenda.” Wiki See Programme Schedule or screencap below: http://conference2010.meego.com/program/schedule [...]
Video: Racing Demo MeeGo Touch on WeTab
Here’s a demo of a racing game on the WeTab. I believe they wanted accelerometer controls in near future in addition (or instead?) of tap-tap-touch. IDEA: What if this game (and tablet racing games in general) were to support multitouch and on each side have like a portion of a steering wheel so that if [...]

MeeGo Handset user experience on Meego 1.1
During the Meego conference in Dublin some aspects of the Handset user experience for MeeGo 1.1 was shown off. To be exact the home screen, the application launcher and multitasking, now of course this is still early stage but I can definitely see some signs of an OS that can challenge with the others. Finally [...]
N8 saves the day, formats Josh Topolsky's "fried" memory card.
As I’m sure we’ve all heard in tech news lately, Windows Phone 7 devices have a nasty nack for screwing up the memory cards of any individual adventurous enough to ignore the warning Microsoft gave when they said DO NOT USE with regards to third-party memory cards. Unfortunately for users of the Samsung Focus, including [...]
Symbian OS and Nokia's CPU choice sidenote
Not a long blog post but more of a notification for all the Symbian and N8 users out there. Symbian as an OS does something that few if any mobile OS’s out there do. It allows the networking (cellular) stack and applications to run on the same CPU. Ever wondered why your phone lags HARD [...]
Minimum Spec for MeeGo 1.2+ devices confirmed

Video: Nokia N8 Playing flash Megavideo
Check it out – Megavideo on the N8 running quite smoothly (dunno if it’s the bad uni pcs that’s stuttering (or the person’s connection) but I am noticing some frame drop). It’s within the flash enabled browser. MrZeko3rs Thanks to fahoum for the heads up. K – should be out till evening now
