As promised, here’s an unboxing of the Symbian Anna powered Nokia E6-00. This is the Black version which the majority of voters chose last time as their colour of choice; other options of course being white and silver. Thanks to Paul and the folks at WOMWorld for sending us this trial unit. You can watch [...]
Nokia and Apps@Smartphone Asia Expo
@amanda_lam/amandahoic was at “Apps @ Smartphone Asia Expo” and she checked out the stuff that Nokia were demoing. There’s some more NFC demoes with the C7. Very good practical uses right now include touch pairing of bluetooth devices (no going to BT settings to pair devices) and finding location just by tapping on NFC label. [...]
Nokia X7-00 coming in White?
I’m not sure we were ever told that there would be a white X7 at launch but well, one is coming. (Though knowing there’s a white phone at launch doesn’t really stop hysteria if the phone’s popular enough, eh?). Current colours are Black and Silver (though Silver is still just black fronted with silver trim [...]
MeeGo phone at same level as new iPhone 5 “good OS with great HW”
I’m not sure what Eldar has seen, but he seems to think that the new Maemo/MeeGo phone will be at same level as new iPhone (successor to iPhone 4, iPhone 5). Good OS with great hardware. And for this reason alone, he stirs the pot once more and says precisely that because it is good, [...]
Disruptive enough? S40 to get 1GHz, CBD touch, 512MB RAM?
S40 is meant to be the simpler “mobile phones” range, whilst S60/S^1/S^3/Maemo/MeeGo are the smartphone series. On June 21st we are expecting Nokia to reveal something disruptive – a word associated earlier on with MeeGo – but really could be anything. Engadget has found a couple of tweets from Nokia’s Manager of Marketing Services [...]
Video: Voice Translate Pro demoed on Nokia N8
Last week we had a post about an App called Voice Translate – which can translate text into different languages, with the bonus option of being able to say the translated text. I’m still having issues installing anything on my N8 (Qt issue, might need to hard reset :S) so I haven’t managed to do [...]
Video: Nokia Nyan Cat – MMS Nokia 3120b
Have you heard of the Nyan cat? Like it or loathe it, this little trance-inducing poptart rainbow kitty has made waves across youtube, ‘inspiring’ all sorts of spoofs and incarnations. This Nokia related one uses the ancient Nokia 3120b – pairing up a gif with a MIDI sequence and sent as MMS. Video by cat333pokemon [...]

#NokiaGulp Day 5 – Final thoughts and full gallery
Fresh from my trip to #NokiaGulp in Wales, it’s time to share some closing thoughts about the event along with a comprehensive photo gallery I took with the N8.
Windows Phone to launch in 6 European countries? (Only 6 or at least 6?)
According to Vice President, Nokia Europe, Victor Saeijs, Nokia’s Windows Phone will launch in 6 European countries. Netherlands Spain France Germany Italy UK Now I’m not sure if it’s AT LEAST 6 or ONLY 6 at launch. The folks at Nokia Switzerland did note that they would get it in Q1 2012 (with other markets [...]
Video: Really great search app -Universal Search- from Nokia Beta Labs.
There seems to be a secret invite only application at Nokia Beta Labs called Nokia Universal Search Beta. (At least, this is the first time I’ve heard of it). I can’t find a page on Nokia Beta Labs but this appeared on irelandstechnologyblog This app is great, and looks to be extremely useful. I’ve long [...]
Video: Push N8 Sneak Peak: The second film – Paint SKATE
This is the second video of the Push N8 Films, the first seen last week. Push Skating takes the world of skate games away from the games console and back to the streets by allowing skaters’ boards to communicate with their Nokia N8 to score every single little move they make. The second film is [...]
Video: Monster Pinball demoed on Nokia N8 available at Ovi Store
theblogjack has a demo for us of another cross platform game called Monster Pinball. The controls are your usual classic pinball style but with six linked tables. You can pick up this game for £1 at Ovi Store. I think it’s also written in Qt given that additional install warning. http://store.ovi.com/content/133926 JUST AWESOME [...]
#NokiaGulp Day 4: it’s getting windy
The fourth day of shooting the world largest stop-motion animation with the N8 – #NokiaGulp proved to be immensely challenging due to the increasingly hostile weather. As I write this post (Friday 1 am-ish) there’s an insane gale wreaking havoc outside. And it’s cold.
Poll and Gallery: Black, White or Silver Nokia E6-00?
I had an email from WOMWorld’s Paul who says they’ve got some E6 to trial. This will be coming on Monday so watch this space. Now there’s three colours available, black, white and silver. Not sure on which one, I asked twitter (from @jaymontano) yesterday what colour I should pick and that particular colour is [...]
Nokia Windows Phone Mango device to blow your socks off? (disruptive MeeGo device soon, and Belle demo at 20:20 Mobile)
On my timeline, supposedly a Senior Training Consultant for Nokia, @DaveTrevaskus tweets that Nokia’s Windows Phone Mango device would blow our socks off. Is this from first hand experience? From a Nokia guy it sort of has to be if he’s actual Nokia staff. This is the first we’ve heard in terms of reaction to [...]
Video: Neon Mania game demo on Nokia N8 – available at Ovi Store
Camb078 from blog-n8.fr has a new demo for us of a game called Neon Mania. This is available at the Ovi Store for 2EUR/1GBP. It’s a simple but pretty addicting game involving tracing your finger on the lines given. It’s more fun that I’ve just made it sound :p. It’s a very well made game, [...]
#NokiaGulp day 3: The heart of the project – Nokia N8
With day 3 of #NokiaGulp now over, I managed to get a glimpse into the technical side of the project, and in particular, where the Nokia N8 comes into play.

Forum Nokia becomes Nokia Developer at developer.nokia.com
As part of Nokia’s effort to simplify and strengthen the Nokia brand, Forum Nokia is now more clearly branded as Nokia Developer. You’ll note now that forum.nokia.com redirects you to developer.nokia.com. http://www.developer.nokia.com/New_Nokia_Developer.xhtml I’m not sure about you but the first time I heard of Forum Nokia, I thought it was just a forum where people [...]

Symbian Anna as far as we know is due Q3, 2011. That’s anything from July to September. Some blogs are running with a new, more specific release month of July. It has been rumoured though they reckon Nokia France is ‘confirming’ it. Symbian Anna for July 2011: So it’s almost official update from Symbian [...]
