Video: Grand Theft Auto IV on Nokia N8 (+E7) + PC remote

| March 21, 2012 | 30 Replies

Using some sort of desktop streamer,  SuperJasfasola is able to play Grand Theft Auto IV on his Nokia N8. What’s really good here though is that there are touch specific buttons so you can interact with the N8. The game lags as expected being streamed but it’s a nice concept and possibly enough frames per second to [...]

This video shows quite a few things about the Nokia 808 PureView but the most interesting part is a close up look on the browser, which looks to be a more pleasant experience compared to what current S^3/Anna/Belle owners have by default. As well as having more power under the hood, this is also a [...]

Lumiappaday #127: Snowball Assault demoed on the Nokia Lumia 800

In Snowball assault, you are a Walrus trying to kill and defend against some penguins. Well, I say kill, just hit them with snowballs which some how causes them to disappear. Use touch controls to aim the snowball as well as adjust power. In that way you could liken it to angry birds. However, the [...]

Damian Dinning talks to WhatDigitalCamera on the Nokia 808 PureView

| March 21, 2012 | 18 Replies

Damian Dinning is chatting with WhatDigitalCamera about the Nokia 808 PureView. I’m not quite sure if these guys have interviewed people before on camera phones being so camera centric. Despite the information readily available on the internet, I find it stunning how some people can still have no idea what PureView actually does. Especially those [...]

Nokia South Africa: Amazing Extra Day Treasure Hunt for Nokia Lumia 800

| March 21, 2012 | Reply

I love treasure hunts! Possibly the making of them more so (I’ve made several for my housemates, one riddle leads to another and another and another until they find the ‘treasure’). Nokia South Africa have a little treasure hunt with a much better prize, 29 Nokia Lumia phones.  This took place on the leap day [...]

Here’s another Nokia Meme spotted on Reddit. http://www.reddit.com/r/AdviceAnimals/comments/r512d/never_buy_a_nokia_3310/ Ignoring the spelling, it reinforces the notion of Nokia (well 3310) being super sturdy. Heh, this meme may be running its course because there’s not much for it to do to relate to more current things apart from things it destroys (and that might be inappropriate to [...]
