What is HD Voice?
Nokia Conversations asks: What is HD Voice? This is basically new technology that improves the quality of a voice call -that really bad FM radio quality sound – though something we’ve just gotten used to. It’s like the AMR vs MP3/WAV (now MMS vs High) recording on a Nokia Nseries. The difference is clear, with [...]

Video: Beyond Touch with Pixel Sense from Microsoft Surface
Microsoft have worked with Samsung and have presented an update to their cool looking MS Surface with the addition of Pixel Sense. Whereas before the table required just cameras to see, it uses infra-red to pinpoint every item interacting with the display. Kinda Kinect-like. Not only does this include fingers, but also printed items. You’ll [...]
Video: Musician and his guitar take on the Nokia Loop App
The Nokia Loop App that’s free for the N8 and C7 isn’t just for recording odd random sounds to pool into a track, you can also make actual music with actual instruments! (Yeah, let’s not get into the debate of what music is, you know what I mean :p) chrismcrowe has taken his N8, downloaded [...]

Video: Media Centre for Symbian^3 with Nokia Big Screen from Beta Labs! Totally Awesome!
Here’s an awesome app from BetaLabs – Nokia Big Screen! Basically, when you hook your N8 or other Smybian^3 device up to a TV via HDMI, the app automatically starts up to show a Media Centre like interface. I loove these types of interfaces. Sure it’s great that Symbian replicates the whole phone screen, but [...]
Leaked: ARM powered Symbian^3 Nokia E6-00 has QWERTY keyboard and new VGA (touch?) screen says Nokia.com file
Yesterday we saw some photos from the unannounced, mysterious Nokia E6-00 of which there is NO public image available. Thus, no one apart from Nokia staff know what it looks like, or what form factor it will have or even OS. It’s all just rumours. This was the nearest thing from rumours that we got [...]
Nokia Rumours: Nokia N9 in April, PR1.1 next week, PR2.0 in Feb (2011)
Here are some rumours to be taken with some pinches of salt. First is that the Nokia N9 is coming in April (this year ?:p) and another MeeGo DEVICE 6 weeks later. A tablet perhaps or another phone? The same pperson @VHAho also reckons some bad corporate news coming from Nokia in February? Apparently this [...]
Nokia N97 Form Factor relived in Asus Eee Pad Slider – MeeGo Version Please!?
A slew of tablets are to be announced at CES. One of ASUS’ tablets is called the EEE Pad slider. Some have said this is NOT a new form factor but has been seen in the HTC Touch Pro 2/HTC Shift. It’s more like what we’ve seen on the Nokia N97/N97 mini/E7 no and possibly [...]

Tripod stand for the N8. Heavens knows why Nokia hasn’t released an official mount yet. I’m still using the old DT-22 vice grip [...]
Nokia N8/Symbian^3 Deferred messages bug.
Have you experienced the “deferred message” bug? It’s quite annoying and has been a problem in Nokia since the old Symbian days. The issue: a message (sms/mms) fails to send, gets stuck in outbox as deferred and CANNOT be modified/deleted. Stuck with outbox/sending icon that confuses from actual status. Up until Symbian^3 however, it was [...]

Remember the picasa gallery of the leaked, unannounced Nokia X7? Well this is another leaked gallery of the recently rumoured Nokia E6 – of which there are no leaked photos of the device itself. The user “Imran Khan” also has sample photos of the E7-00. It’s quite a large gallery – all low light photos. [...]
Video Collection: New Year 2011 Fireworks around the world with the Nokia N8
What were you filming/snapping the new year fireworks with? Iain Wallace AKA @the_accidental took his Nokia N8 to Edinburgh and the results look fantastic. No extended exposure setting necessary, I think his N8 was set to Auto (though if there was an option and you could put it on a tripod, that would also look [...]
