Sample pics from Nokia 700 and Nokia 701?
PocketNow supposedly has some sample images of some up and coming devices. The Above is meant to be from the Nokia 700 and the one below from the Nokia 701. The blurryness of the close up shot below either gives me fears of the come back of EDoF (just DIE already) or possibly inability to [...]

Accessories: e-cloth microfiber Phone Pouch
We received an email a while ago asking if we wanted to try out something called an e-cloth Phone and MP3 pouch. Supposedly, it’s not just a pouch, but being made of e-cloth material, it can clean your screens too. Furthermore, the e-cloth doesn’t seem to be any normal material, “This is a product developed [...]

Nelisquare built for Nokia N950 #MeeGo-Harmattan
Qt Guru, Tommi Laukkanen has just built Nelisquare – a foursquare app – for MeeGo-Harmattan N950. https://projects.developer.nokia.com/nelisquare “Built Nelisquare for N950. No portrait and virtual kb isn`t as smart as on Maemo or Symbian.https://projects.developer.nokia.com/nelisquare“ @tlaukkanen All of Tommi’s Qt apps have mentioned MeeGo for future compatibility so this really shouldn’t be all that surprising.

Why Symbian Sales crashed? Where to go from here? #Rant
Before we all immediately scream, “Elop the Trojan Horse” and call for his resignation (again), let’s look at what other reasons could be instead of laying all the blame on one guy. 1) Should never have dumped Symbian and gone with MS First, let’s begin with WHY some people are strongly against Elop.

Nokia N950 Video Samples – Low Light
ssdh has found some more video samples from the Nokia N950. Note that these developer samples have no bearing what so ever on what the N9 will produce. In fact, whilst N9 camera gets more tweaking, the N950 apparently not so. The N9 I believe has true widescreen (not cropped 4:3 to 16:9) and [...]

Video: YouTube in Browser on MeeGo-Harmattan Nokia N950
So, one of the things the current browser on the MeeGo-Harmattan will not do is flash. You can get it via FireFox/Fennec I guess. But how would videos work, such as those on YouTube? Well, the video player from the phone could open it up, like on many platforms now. I wonder how it works [...]
“Ovi Daily App” now “My Daily App”
Nokia’s Ovi Daily App blog, showcasing apps from Ovi Store switched to “My Daily App” some days ago. This is all part of the move away from Ovi Branding and strengthening of the Nokia name, with all Ovi named services switching eventually to the “Nokia” name, just like Nokia Maps. http://blogs.nokia.com/dailyapp/global/ Cheers for the [...]

Mark from TheNokiaBlog has noticed that on TabCo’s facebook page they say they LIKE [...]
