cnetUK takes a look at the history of Nokia and have produced a 3 minute presentation video on it. For Nokia fans this is something we’re all familiar with, but this video probably isn’t for us. Luke takes a look at Nokia’s phone past, noting the N95 (though pictured is N95 8GB) having everything we [...]

This was apparently outed by Microsoft Canada, who in the terms and conditions for Mango application mentioned both SeaRay and a yet unknown Nokia Sabre. It has since been [...]
We’ve seen some pictures of possible white N9s. Some turned out to be a case, some perhaps an early batch prototype. According to SlashGear, a white N9 is coming Q1 next year as part of a limited release. The picture was tweeted by @ricciolo1. Not sure who that is and how that source could be trusted. [...]

After mourning the death of MeeGo and its fall into the hands of Samsung with Intel as Tizen, here’s something positive to pick up on. WSJ has revealled more details on Project Meltemi. You may have heard it mentioned in a leaked internal memo in April, and also quite casually in the leaked staff keynote [...]
Here’s a 26 minute video explaining Tizen. Tizen is Intel’s next attempt at making smartphone use intel chips, not really about making a better OS. You’ll hear the same fairytales they spun for MeeGo. Now hear it all over again for Tizen. Video by minipcpro Tizen is the new internet-speak for, “who cares”. Person 1: [...]
Here’s a 10 minute unboxing of the super sexy black Nokia N9. It’s in Slovak. Hands on MeeGo-Harmattan demo begins about half way through the video. BTW their description links to their site which has a N9 preview. Apparently MeeGo reminds of Windows Phone (maybe the horizontal swiping) Camera among the best. http://www.mobilmania.sk Video by ziveskvidea [...]

Here’s a very classic game called Pinball Fantasies, and it has been ported to MeeGo-Harmattan, demoed on the Nokia N950. It’s touch optimized and even has options to zoom in. Note, the gameplay is possibly much smoother than what the camera recording indicates. There are some useful in game settings, consistent with the whole [...]

Now before we begin, I know some of you have taken GSM Arena’s measurements that gave another Nokia this title (E6) of the brightest screen. http://conversations.nokia.com/2011/09/28/the-nokia-701-screen-outshines-the-rest/ Whilst the E6 is incredibly bright, and a long shot away from its competitors, Nokia says the 701 is just that extra bit brighter. At 1000nits, for comparison: HTC [...]
Nokia are apparently releasing the Nokia N9 to Russia next week, reports spbit.su Eric Bertman, VP Nokia Russia says there were over 15,000 preorders in Russia. That doesn’t strike me as a lot, but if there were say, 10,000 preorders in the 30+ countries where N9 would be available, that’s a pretty decent 300,000 sales on [...]
