Hi! My name is Michael. Like the others, I'm also a Student, living here in Sydney. I have a real passion for the latest technology and I'm a real Nokia buff! My aim is to keep those of you, like myself, updated with the latest in what's going on in the Nokia World. Currently sporting an N8, N9, N950 and Lumia 800. Send tips to me on Twitter via @MFaroTusino or the site's page @MyNokiaBlog, or even simply drop me an email at MichaelMNB[at]hotmail.com.au or tips[at]mynokiablog.com
An Australian carrier, Telstra, is running a competition starting May 7, in which clues are released to their Facebook page, regarding the location of several White Lumia 800s. These phones will be placed in 5 major cities across Australia and the competition is simple. Follow the clues, find the phone, keep it! Not only do [...]
You may have read a few weeks ago, I mentioned I purchased a White housing for my N9. I had a few readers ask for me to publish a few photos of the process as well as a video of what to do. I did follow this video here. Although it is in Russian, it [...]
You my have seen on Twitter, I have published an RSS Viewer for MyNokiaBlog to the WP Marketplace. It is very minimalistic, and basic. Which is, in my opinion what an RSS feed should be like. Being an RSS Feed, the app is limited to the latest posts. I am currently in the process of [...]
There is an app for Symbian called QuickCam that allows you to launch camera from standby just like WP and the 808 PureView. The app can be downloaded from the Store for free. I have put together a basic video (without audio as it sounded really bad and I don’t have time to film it [...]
Scrolling through Twitter and I saw a post on CNet. Apparently Nokia and Microsoft have joined together to create what they are calling “The Code Warrior”. This is a project aimed at both WP developers and users. Users and developers can submit app ideas, these ideas get voted up and developers can then battle out [...]

Sorry it has been ages guys, but here is a pretty nice hack I have found, that lets you overclock your N9/N950s. MYNOKIABLOG, NOR MYSELF, ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR ACTIONS OR CONSEQUENCES BEYOND THIS POINT So, firstly, download INCEPTION along with Opensh and aegisctl (all can be found on inception home page). Download this zip [...]
Androsym have posted “leaked slides” showing off an upcoming WP handset from Nokia, boasting the impressive 41mp PureView technology. To me, it’s quite an ugly design, but some people have said they like the 808′s design so I guess, it is all in the eye of the beholder. Based on the leaked slides, the specs [...]
Got tipped about a new N8 CFW, haven’t watched much of the video demo, but the screen rotations are blazingly fast. It is good to see that there is still an active modding community enhancing Symbian. Since the release of the Symbian source code online, I expected to see a lot more CFW. I guess [...]
The second release of Nitdroid on N9 is here. http://forum.nitdroid.com/index.php?topic=182.0 Here’s what’s working; Working: – based on Android Open-Source Project (AOSP) v 4.0.4_r1.1 (IMM76D) – multiple languages supported – dualboot kernel (without reflashing), ability to choose OS after power on. – N950 supported (see http://forum.nitdroid.com/index.php?topic=134.0) – 3D drivers, OpenGL – hwrotation (portrait mode only, accelerometer [...]
That’s right folks, the Nokia Lumia 900 has been crowned victor by Laptop Magazine. Thanks to everyone who voted. It was amazing to see the Lumia 900 beat devices such as SGS2, Droid RAZR, Ascend D. Quite surprised it made it as far as it did (seeing there are so many fandroids out there), but [...]
Just got sent this now on Twitter. There is a new mobile browser based on QT5 Webkit, known as Snowshoe. It is also for the desktop. It is a new project, and still under development, therefore there are still quite a few bugs. Here’s what the developer’s have to say. Snowshoe is an open source [...]
Just got an email from eBuddy saying they have updated the WP7 version of XMS. I don’t have a Lumia so not sure how good the update really is. The changelog states the update to include: LiveTile notification for new messages on your homescreen Group Conversation (Must be invited by iOS/Android users. Full conversation coming [...]
This is going to be fairly rushed. Need to study but procrastination has taken over, as usual. Seeing as it is April Fool’s Day. I thought I would post some interesting articles that have popped up over the last 24hours. In order from least extravagant to full blown insanity; 5. Gravity Warning The most loved [...]
Here’s a video from crevetor, the first person to work out how to run Nitdroid on their N950. Take a look http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMRd5iTooi8 P.S I haven’t forgotten about multiboot video and Nitdroid walkthrough, YouTube keeps rejecting my videos and I’m not sure why :/
That’s right folks, I have successfully booted all three OSes on my device. Not really a use for it, but the fact I did is really cool in itself. I’m not sure how many people want to know how to do it, or not, but it is good to share knowledge. I will divide this [...]

As I’m writing this I am setting it up To learn more head over to the link below http://forum.nitdroid.com/index.php?topic=94 Sorry about rushed post, too excited!

There is quite a few FM Radio apps for the N9 available now, but this is one of my favourite. Simple, good looking, and feature packed. It features; Auto scan function, The ability to save stations, Customisable station names Manual tuning Choice of headphones or speaker (although headphones act as antenna and must be plugged [...]
According to the Rogers website, the Lumia 900 is now available for Pre-Orders. It is available for $99.99 when you sign up to a 3-year contract. It seems that this offer is available on contracts of $52.35 and over. Remember how I posted about Rogers having a Dark Knight surprise? Well here it is; 1 [...]
So I have shown you guys various ways to get MSN, Yahoo! and various other IM services on your N9′s, with the easiest being ExtraPlugin for Accounts UI. I was trawling through TMO and discovered that this has actually been removed from the store. Apparently it doesn’t work correctly with PR 1.2, yet it is [...]
So if you follow me on twitter, you would know that I had flashed Nemo to my N950 and was fiddling with dual booting. Below is the video I made. It is simple enough really. Turn the phone on like normal, be prompted with a few warnings and a standby screen featuring green text. Now, [...]
The N9 bugzilla has officially been closed. There was no warning, no deadline, just a post at Nokia Developer saying the bugzilla was closed. Here’s what they said; In November 2011, we opened a public Bugzilla to interact with the N9 user community and receive end user bug reports and enhancement requests. To this date, we have received [...]
