Avert your eyes, we’re going into the geeky-dissection room to slice open the Nokia N950. This is the official disassembly for the FCC (expect more to come later as folks piece it apart). BL-4D battery, less capacity than the N9. I guess devs don’t mind and would be closer to power source more often than […]

  These are possibly the last few Nokia N9 hands on from the launch event. It’s getting hard to weed out stolen hands on videos and possibly duplicates. We’ve seen soo many N9 hands on. How many times has the N9 lagged for you? Negligible by my counts. (not knowing how to use n9 doesn’t […]

The price jump from 16 to 64GB is actually not that remarkable, not even 100USD difference (which would be 200USD if it was a green fruit product). Note that these prices […]
