Video: A little angry bird tells me something big is happening in Austin…
Tipped by Yemi, a video on WOMWorldNokia’s youtube account, womworldnokia (also posted on blogs.nokia.com) says something BIG is happening – related to Angry Birds and Nokia at Austin Texas during SXSW. When? 12th and 15th March, 9PM. I wish my schedule was less packed as I could have brought the news to you directly. (Thanks [...]

This is now available at the Ovi Store: http://store.ovi.com/content/101702 The video doesn’t [...]

The new Symbian UI, previewed at MWC and afterwards shown in China on a Nokia N8. This is NOT PR2.0 but a firmware upgrade after that. Maybe PR3.0 what is expected includes: New Icons Four Homescreens (at least) Flexible Widgets Pull Down status bar All the stuff that came in pr2.0 presumably. According to Engadget [...]

Medley of Concept Awesomeness! Nokia MeeGo Tablet, Windows Phone Tablet, Windows Phone 7 new homescreen/multitasking remix
Lets switch to something a little more positive. It’s a Friday! If there is one link you should visit today, it’s this: http://jozefkocur.blogspot.com I came across it after @VHaho tweeted about a WP7/WP8 tablet concept. But the site has so many other tantilizing designs! The designer is Jozef Kocur. He’s a high school student due [...]
“Why Nokia Failed – 2,000 man years on UIs that didn’t work”
Zane emailed us a very thorough article from The Register which described the necrotic core at Nokia. It reads to me that through mismanagement, failures were leading to a death of Nokia from the inside. This will surely anger Symbian fans. I’m sure what ever Nokia does, media will perceive it as an awful thing. [...]
Video: Source Code Trailer starring Bing Browsing Nokia N97 Mini
The upoming Scifi Thriller, “Source Code” – starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Michelle Monaghan – seems like a really good movie. It’s like a cross between Tron (being inside a computer programme), GroundHogDay (Repeating events) and maybe Surrogates (going into other folk’s bodies). It looks like something I’d be very interested in watching. What makes it [...]
Leaked touch and type slider – might be the Nokia RM745?
Alberto tipped us of a leaked Nokia slider. It’s the first of it’s kind from the S40 touch and type scene. The front design is somewhat of a love-child of the Nokia C5-03 and the C3-01 The dimensions look awfully like the Nokia RM745 we saw last week. As reader Andre N predicted: “I guess [...]
Video and Gallery: Stephen Elop Signed Nokia E7 box Unboxing
Hello, hello – very quickly whilst I have a break in between lectures – I received a package from WOMWorld today – something to play with to get over missing out on SXSW because of UNI – the Nokia E7! The last time I had a proper play with this was at Nokia World (though [...]

Yay!(email to tips@mynokiablog.com – my twitter is @jaymontano) You may have noticed it go down yesterday for a bit so this is why. I had barely just gotten up so [...]
Video: 6 Homescreens for Symbian^3
This video shows Symbian^3 with 6 homescreens. This is achieved via custom firmware. I think at one stage of development, S^3 did have this many if not more homescreens but it was reduced to 3. In upcoming firmware PR2.0 this is increased to at least 4. Skip to 1:40 to see switching between all 6 [...]

New leaked image of Nokia E6 – Not as ugly as first pic – S^3, with four homescreens
The E6 had its first pictures early February and it didn’t receive a warm reaction. It was pretty much the same design from the monoblock QWERTY but somehow MUCH UGLIER. It may have been the angle or the colour scheme, but this one in a darker more mysterious tone kinda looks more appealing to me. [...]
Video: Nokia E7 Ad from Nokia India – Redefine your success with new Nokia E7.
There seems to be some kind of theme of “success” with the Nokia E7. Below is a video advert from Nokia India showing the ‘new’ Nokia E7. Shame it’s taken half a year to get it to the market.
Qt Quick Shopping List App
Here’s another interesting Qt project, a shopping list app, sent by Glenn. https://projects.forum.nokia.com/ShoppingList << can be downloaded There are actually quite a few shopping list apps available already on Ovi Store. This caught my eye as it looks as clean as the one I’ve been recently using for Windows Phone (which I’d like to show [...]

Video: Nokia Unlocked – Unlock a world of choice (and N8 with Windows XP FF browser -#SimulatedScreenFail)
Now this isn’t the first time Nokia has tried to promote their unlocked devices, and neither should it be the last. Another tweet from @chansearrington, this video posted two weeks ago shows the benefits of having an unlocked device. This is something I take for granted as I’ve always been particular to choose unlocked phones [...]
