I came across this video and upon watching it, many memories of Nokia rushed through my mind, its old struggles and new struggles, competition from rivals Samsung, Apple, OS rivals-Android, iOS and basically the media at large. Maybe it is just me and my memories of using Nokia tech, TV-out via RGB, GPUs back in the OMAP24xx era, [...]
Prashant sent us the following NaviFirm screenshots which show off two unannounced items in the list, one is something called the “Nokia Reaction” or BH-907, this is obviously a bluetooth headset; but what’s interesting is that it’s the first Nokia accessory to have FW support; possibly a new item in the range of the Monster Puirities? The second device is RM-568 [...]
Quick heads up as I’m still in a meeting, the 12072 update for Nokia Lumia 800 is rolling out. I hate the naming of the update as I frankly can’t tell one from another. I just got this email from Nokia to let me know about a new software update for the Lumia 800. [...]
I saw this on Twitter this morning on my way to Uni, and was surprised it hadn’t been posted yet. Financial Times have reported that Nokia are in talks to sell off Vertu, their luxury phones division. I can’t say it is a surprising decision. I have never really seen Vertu phones in the wild, [...]
SniperBoy is a game about a kid with a sniper riple who has to shoot some robot targets down. His rifle fires a laser which may or may not bounce, showing where his bullet will ricochet. It’s actually a lot of fun, and reminds me somewhat of Portals 2D. Try to make sure you shoot [...]
Along with the other posts regarding the Lumia 900, I was on MobiCity today and saw the Lumia 900 listed as being up for pre-orders. It is good for us Aussies who have still been left in the dark as to whether or not we will get this device. The site says that [...]
Nokia’s star in emerging markets is apparently fading too. Analysts say it has failed to keep up with the changing tastes of the growing middle class, and, in a country where the thin-margin network operators don’t tend to subsidise phones, is losing storeowners like Khatri, who influence buyers’ choices. For dealers like [...]
Check this out – someone has taken apart a Nokia Lumia 800 and modified it so that it could charge wirelessly. Well, you have to place it on the Palm Touchstone for conduction charging. They opened up the Lumia 800, stuck what looks like a copper coil inside. Metal was taken out so that this [...]
Apologies that I missed this the first time around when it was shared a couple of days ago. My schedule is getting rather busy all over again. Anyway, as you can see from incognito’s screenshot, he now has FireFox mobile 12 on his Nokia N9. Timo says this is available at Nokia Store and incognito [...]
There’s a product listing at Amazon UK for the Nokia N9. It suggests a date availability for May 15th, priced at £479.99. Nokia Lumia 900 – Amazon Given the price of Amazon’s other Lumias, it suggests you may be able to find it slightly cheaper directly from phone retailers, some of which actually sell the [...]
A smartphone, despite all of its advertised features, must do the core applications people rely on flawlessly. Keyboard, email, calendar, browser, and all other aspects of the phone as generally stable, reliable, and quick to use. A story on iltalehti.fi yesterday points to some phones used by Finnish MPs whose phones never worked properly. Freezing [...]
Not quite sure what this is but we got sent a screenshot saying there’s a minor update for Belle that improves the stability of Qt. Anyone noticed this yet? Thanks for the tip and screenshot Tuomas.
There’s an update to Nitdroid for Nokia N9. Quite a lot of things shifted to the ‘working’ section since I was last looking at the project. Working: – based on Android Open-Source Project (AOSP) v 4.0.4_r1.2 (IMM76I) – Google Applications (GApps), PlayStore (Android Market) – dualboot kernel (without reflashing), ability to choose OS after power [...]
