Video: 30 minutes with MeeGo-Harmattan on Nokia N950
Here is a half an hour long hands on with the Nokia N950 MeeGo-Harmattan Dev Phone. Though this isn’t the consumer handset, this does show much of what you can expect from the upcoming N9 (hopefully even more polished as I’m not sure if the Developer edition is as up to date as N9 – [...]
Video: Nokia BH-112 – Small in size, big in size. #jajabinx?
Yesterday Nokia launched some new colourful wallet-friendly bluetooth headsets with a kind of youth appeal to them. You can see just how this would look on a person (always a good photo to have for a bluetooth headset as size is difficult to imagine). Is it me or do these two look somewhat familiar. [...]

Gartner says Nokia still number 1 in Smartphones for Q2 2011?
This morning, we got tipped (by ‘hmm) of an article on NASDAQ claiming Nokia were still the number 1 smartphone manufacturer in Q2. I only skimmed over the article, but didn’t think too much of it because they had put Nokia’s overall sales for Q2 as entirely smartphone based. That article – at least the [...]
Accessories: New, in-your-face Nokia budget Bluetooth Headset BH-112
New to Nokia conversations are these tweener friendly in your face (loud, hard to ignore), super bright bluetooth headsets. Well the first three anyway, the latter black and white one are somewhat more conservative, with blue, pink (very N9 like) and green for the more adventurous. http://conversations.nokia.com/2011/08/11/take-your-calls-in-colour-nokia-bluetooth-headset-bh-112/ Given the size of the actual ear pieces, these [...]

Leak or Fake? Some more Nokia Windows Phones that aren’t Sea-Ray…?
These are apparently some Nokia Windows Phones. I got an email from someone claiming to be from microsoft (but using an ovi.com email). The video looks like a mish mash of nokia and microsoft footage but they’ve edited the screens with wp mango overlays perhaps? Is it real? Could some very elaborate fakes. They [...]

Windows Phone Tango – Nokia and the lower end Windows Phones.
You might think of a dance when you hear Tango, but being in the UK, I think of the above picture. Windows Phone version naming schemes end in “O”. NoDo, Mango and the two upcoming Tango and Apollo. It’s rumoured that Nokia’s “stamp” and high end stuff appears later with Apollo (WP8?). But ZDNet’s Mary [...]
SeaRay on SpeedTest (with AT&T microSim)
Thanks for folks who tipped this in yesterday. As you know, now and again the posts have to be ‘rationed’ otherwise there’s too much traffic per day and the site crashes, hence why it’s only appearing now.
