RANT: Bitter view of the N9. Baseless criticisms from Nokia’s favourite ‘journalist’? #wp
Bitter. That’s the feeling I get in YLE’s interview with Eldar Murtazin (Why on earth is YLE interviewing him? I am utterly amazed why they now stick with the tag line that he’s a guy that gets a lot of things right. Seems anything wrong has just been forgotten. Also that noting things that are [...]

Quadboot? Nokia N900 says yes! Android, Maemo 5, MeeGo and Kubuntu Mobile
When the Nokia N900 arrived (back in 2009) it was the hackers dream. Post after post after post of cool stuff devs were doing with the N900. Amazing stuff.

Windows Phone users more satisfied with OS than Android users.
A while ago I think there was a survey showing high satisfaction amongst Windows Phone users. However, that was met with doubt, at least with independent research by ChangeWave showing it’s not as high as MS would have us believe. Zdnet are reporting on some new research undertaken ChangeWaveresearch that shows again Windows Phone getting 57% very [...]
Nokia C3-01.5 – 1GHz?
Janimatik sent us a couple of tips on Friday about something called the C3-01.5. I wasn’t quite sure the specs mentioned were legitimate as the translation sounded more like it was just repeating earlier rumours of 1GHz, 512MB RAM and CBD AMOLED display. All for S40. As you can see though, there does appear [...]
