Video: Nokia N9 Review (eng) – MeeGo – “OS for dummies, no problems multitasking 36 apps”
From the same channel that brought the first unboxing of the Nokia N9, check out their hands on review (in English).

Video: One Direction and Nokia launch C3 and C2-02 – clever brand connection by Nokia
In a somewhat utterly smart move, Nokia UK have got the latest teen obsession in the UK, “One Direction” to launch the Nokia C3 and Nokia C2-02 (lower-end, more youth centric phones). If you’re not from the UK, One Direction is a teenage boy band formed on X-Factor. They have an unquestionable and to [...]

WhatsApp on Windows Phone (Update – now in Market Place)
I think I read some comments saying apps like WhatsApp won’t be coming to Windows Phone. Well WMPowerUser reckons they have some screenshots of WhatpsApp above. WhatsApp is an oddly named but very useful cross platform messenger service that’s free to trial, and $1.99 per year if you wish to continue (according to the site). [...]

Dealing with no internet broadband for 4 weeks. Mobile solutions to the rescue. (Cheers BT and VirginMedia. :S)
Dealing without internet. When I moved back to Manchester, I had expected that at least during the commute, I would not have any internet.

Nokia 603 – Symbian Belle with ‘Keypad’? – E6 successor, T9 keypad or just touch? – on par with 700?
I’ve had some messages pointing out that the unannounced 603 may have a QWERTY and might be the E6 successor. Taking another look at the Nokia 603 uaprof seems to indicate that this thing will have a PhoneKeyPad. Now in contrast with the E6 uaprof, that specifically mentioned “QWERTY”. Similarly, against the X7, that says [...]

Low light picture taken with N9
@SapiensBryan tweeted a picture taken by the Nokia N9 in low light without flash. It’s looking pretty good. It has an aperture of F2.2, bigger aperture than usual, better low light performance.
