Video: Nelisquare – Qt Foursquare App by Tommi Laukkanen
Today seems to be, every post will have Tommi Laukkanen’s name on it. That’s just coincidence that I remembered I had posts about his apps to write about but didn’t have time what with ongoing exam revision. Anyway, that aside, let’s take a look at Tommi’s latest creation. Nelisquare. I’m guessing neli means four in [...]
Video: Angry Monsters — First App in Forum Nokia Projects for Windows Phone
Remember Tommi Laukanen and Son with their Doodle Drive Game? In similar strides, Tero Paanen and his sons create Angry Monsters. An Angry Birds esque project for Windows Phone. Catapult, aim, throw, bricks come crashing down and kills/maims/startles said enemy. There’s a tiny difference in that you can pick up that thing you throw and [...]
FreeForm widget for Symbian PR3.0/Belle stylie leaked on a Nokia YouTube Channel; could it come to Anna?
Ganesh and Kunwar has emailed us in a couple of images that show the new free form widget UI in the homescreen expected in PR3.0/”Belle”. Cheers also to Adnan for reminder tip. Oddly, this was leaked on an official Nokia channel, NokiaHomebase. As you can see, the widgets aren’t confined to their usual enclosures, looking [...]
Video: Nokia N8 with Symbian Anna
Diogo sent this video in to Andre’s post and I thought it would be useful to see Symbian Anna on the Nokia N8. I don’t speak Spanish, but to those who do, is he saying anything new or noteworthy? How do you find the performance? Has it been worth the wait? Possibly can’t tell from [...]
Analyst claims Windows Phone to beat Android in Sales by 2015
Er, is this “analyst” Steve Ballmer? As a Nokia fan we can only hope, but a realist I’m like, hang on a minute there. Seems that these mobile “analysts” are making wilder and wilder claims about Windows Phone 7 in somewhat of clear optimism. Whereas Gartner and IDC both agree and believe that Windows Phone [...]
Video: The Amazing Nokia BH-505 available in Red, Green, Black (and Blue?!) – now only £35.99! Bargain!
So yesterday we saw a video of the Nokia J (BH-806?) in a new glossy product video. Here’s one for the BH-505, undoubtedly my most favourite bluetooth headset EVER. I found them really comfortable to wear, great sound, awesome bass, great sound isolation, excellent battery life, does NOT fall off your head what so ever. [...]
Nokia E6 Available for Pre-Order too from Nokia Germany
Eero tips in that the E6-00 is also available at Nokia Germany for pre-order. Price? A somewhat ridiculous 429 EUROS. Well it normally is more expensive from Nokia direct, especially on preorder. Having said that, the Nokia N8 was on preorder for 459-479 EUR. Exactly what is being asked for the Nokia X7. Aha. Yup. [...]
What services does Nokia really offer and how they compare to their rivals.
A lot of negativity has been made of Nokia’s decision to adopt the Windows Phone software ecosystem as their primary smartphone platform going forward. A decision seen as frivolous and ignorant to some while seen as a last ditch move by what’s seen as an utterly failing company ( a sentiment I disagree with). The [...]
Nokia X7-00 available for pre-order at Nokia Germany and Portugal (459 and 489 EUR respectively)
Adnan tips us that the Nokia X7 is available for Pre-Order beginning at Germany. A google search also shows it’s available in Portugal too. It starts at 459 Euros in Germany, but if you live in Portugal, you have to pay 30 Euros more at 489 Euros. It’s not so strange, that difference has always [...]

Adnan just tipped us with the news that the X7 is available for pre-order in Germany right now for a fairly reasonable €459 launch price, give it a month and it is down to €359 through different vendors. All the usual things apply; 680Mhz ARM11 processor 256MB RAM a gorgeous 4 inch screen and lets [...]

My Dream Nokia #27 is the work of Tommi Incrosnatu of sciant.net from Finland! It looks a lot like the official Nokia concept designs for Windows Phone which is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!

Video: Nokia J Headset Team Introduce the Nokia J
I’m not sure if this is just the Nokia BH-806 renamed or a new product but I’m liking the (re)name! Nothing to do of course with the fact that we now have the Nokia J(ay)! :p It is named J due to the shape of the bluetooth headset being J. Well in some fonts anyway [...]

MyNokiaBlog.com one of the “tech blogs” that Nokia Conversations readers visit!
Over at Nokia Conversations, Nokia’s Official Blog, they posted about the results of a survey they did back in February to get to know their readers. I love surveys and polls (not so much filling one in, but finding out the results later :p) http://conversations.nokia.com/2011/05/05/2011-reader-survey-results-who-are-you/ At the very end, the article talks about other sites [...]
Video: Comparison between Nokia C7, Nokia N8 and Nokia E7
techpinas takes a look at the Nokia C7, Nokia N8 and Nokia E7 comparing the differences and similarities of all these devices. From left to right, they go in ascending order of price. But the latter isn’t clearly the best by any means physically. E7 whilst having the keyboard and massive 4″ CBD display does [...]
My Dream Nokia #N26: Nokia W10 and Nokia X10, Windows or Symbian with 720p screen, 15MP, 2Ghz Quadcore and 4G
My Dream Nokia #26 comes in two flavours from Nando Sang Putra. The Nokia X10 is a Symbian phone (either with the new Anna or possibly it’s successor, “Belle”whilst the Nokia W10 is a Windows Phone 7.5 handset. Otherwise, both handsets are exactly the same physically with some exciting features such as a 720p (16:9, [...]
Murtazin claims Vanjoki to be Nokia CEO and Android as Plan B, after post on “Nokia plans tidbits” which are already public information
Eldar is on some more claims again. This time, be BEGINS an entire thread on his own forum to explain in detail “insights/tidbits” into the Nokia Strategy. The actual strategy here isn’t actually all that revealing. You can make that up yourself based on everything we know so far of Nokia. The actual astonishing claim [...]

Nokia’s Dual Display 3D Communicator seen in Patent App
I saw a random tweet this morning about a Nokia 3D communicator and assumed it was spam. 5 hours on a train later and I see a tip in my inbox for the same thing and was somewhat pleasantly surprised. This is like a Nintendo 3DS crossed with a Microsoft Courier (or other dual display [...]
