“Hating Nokia 101″ Class – Lesson 1 – Unleashing the iTrolls and Fandroids
The bastion of everything that is Anti-Nokia can be found most strongly in one of two places. Either Gizmodo or Engadget. Gizmodo is a blatant all out hate for Nokia whilst Engadget is that devious asswipe that tries to make sly little digs at you at every possible moment whilst trying to seem impartial and [...]
Video: Nokia Behind the E7: Design
Rhiannon from WOMWorld and JFH shares with us this behind the scenes video about the Nokia E7, starring none other than Nokia’s Industrial designer, Shunjiro Eguchi. He compares the E7 design to a fruit – something that’s actually extremely complex but made to look very simple. In the video you can see the E7 being [...]
Ovi Suite updated to v3.0.0.29 (minor update)
An update for Ovi Suite 3.0 got pushed out in addition to the firmware update for the C7. Although nothing major or revolutionary it should serve to fix some problems that users previously had. It’s a 72MB download (Lolwut?) and should show up as soon as Ovi Suite is opened. Change log: Simplified sync of [...]

Videos: Nokia E7 Sample Video and 20 minute hands on.
TELEFONINOpuntoNET (note, it’s in Italian) have put up this 20 minute hands on preview with the Nokia E7. As you can see, whatever software iteration this is, it’s pretty quick. The keyboard typing looks very fast indeed, and we’ll see a unique feature amongst the S^3 handsets in QWERTY keyboard shortcuts, such as copy and [...]
“Analyst” says MeeGo is a Joke, advises Nokia to Ditch MeeGo and go for WP7

Apparently, somebody called Adnaan Ahmad, Berenberg Bank analyst has written an open letter to Stephen Elop and Steve Ballmer of which part says, “Get rid of your own proprietary high-end solution (MEEGO)–it’s the biggest joke in the tech industry right now [...]
Video: Qt Quick (QML) Facebook (and Twitter) clients
Jim found this video from October last year of a Qt Facebook App. It was a small proof of concept facebook client written using Qt Quick (QML) and apparently was just done in a few hours – their mission was just to get used to QML (the topic could have been anything, it just happened [...]
Video: Super Addictive Helicopter Game, “Copter it” free at Ovi Store demoed on Nokia N8
Remember the massively addictive flash game, succinctly called “Helicopter Game”? A version is now available at the Ovi Store called, “Copter It”, with exactly the same principles of flying your helicopter and avoiding obstacles. http://store.ovi.com/content/96424 You have to press and hold (anywhere on the screen, preferably not on the helicopter) to give lift, and take [...]

Ovi Store “purchased content can be re-downloaded only up to 5 times” – What is this Bullcrap?

Ovi Store Updated to 2.04.00038
I was wondering why Ovi Store was playing up on me yesterday late afternoon. Georgios has emailed us (tips@mynokiablog.com) that his Ovi Store had been updated to version 2.04.00038. You’ll have to update before proceeding any further with Ovi Store so there’s no missing this update. It’s just one button click update. If you’ve been [...]

Here’s a catchy little song for you about a very contemporary subject – “stalker”.

And you’ve guessed it, (if you haven’t already from the title :p) this is shot [...]
Video: Qt Paper Toss “Throw It” game demoed on Nokia N8
There’s something quite awesome about throwing an object into the trash bin from a great distance. Under arm, over arm, ricochet, curve or straight line sniper throw. Now, none of those are actually implemented in this game, “Throw it”. BUT, you do have to account for the random electric fan (thus wind speed/direction) that keeps [...]
Video: The Settlers HD demoed on the Nokia N8
Last week The Settlers HD came to Ovi Store and Camb078 from blog-n8.fr has a demo for us on his Nokia N8. It looks great and would certainly kill a lot of time for £3/3€. I was a little concerned how you’d play a game like this on a small screen but now it looks [...]
