After a quick refuelling and catching up on some stories, I went back out for a little walk around the hotel. As requested, here are some pics. Though I didn’t really know what I should be snapping. Given that I’ve enever been this far north before, I have never experienced such long daylight. It was as bright [...]

Video: MeeGo Theme for Belle

| June 4, 2012 | 25 Replies

What you’re looking at here is an attempt on a Belle theme to look more like a MeeGo one. MeeGo-Harmattan is a very clean, minimalist, consistent experience. Note, this isn’t a skin, this is still Belle UI pretty much but working within that frame to make it more MeeGo-Harmattan like. What do you reckon? by fredericobsantos [...]

A few days ago we heard about the Nokia 808 PureView in China coming with a free tripod and USB holder. My translator wasn’t working so I wasn’t able to confirm at the time. It still doesn’t so I’m hoping someone out there can add further confirmation to this. http://www.nokia.com/cn-zh/products/pureview/preorder/?intc=na-fw-ilc-na-hero_home_top_teaser-na-home-cn-zh-1138316 Cheers Anthony for the tip!
