here are a couple of Nokia N900 videos courtesy of stevechippy from UMPCPortal. N900 Browser Demo You may have already seen some N900 browser videos (and expect a lot more what with Nokia dishing out 400 for people to test out!) but stevechippy‘s 13 minute video goes through quite a few websites showing exactly how [...]
The N900, like the N97, has a homescreen which you can customize with LIVE widgets , contacts, bookmarks and app shortcuts. However, unlike the N97, the N900: has 4 homescreens (effectively making 1 big panoramic homescreen) the widgets/shortcuts are not locked into any specific position (like previous tablets)- customizing is very easy – delete, add, [...]
Previously, the only way to make a call on a Maemo device was via skype. The Nokia N900 is the first Maemo PHONE so you can make your standard mobile/landline calls. [YOUTUBE=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eZu3nku2uM] What’s interesting with the current firmware in the N900 is HOW you make a call. There aren’t any hardware keys [Green/Red Call/End buttons]like [...]
On Monday I got an email from WOMWorld inviting me to a “top secret” event happening in London and it’s supposedly taking place around 22nd/23rd October. [link - wordpress in chrome sucks] I wanted to wait until I knew more about what was happening, but even after the phone call from WOMWorld’s Katie this afternoon [...]
Here’s a hands on demo of photo sharing via email on the N900. It’s very simple, fluid and very fast. Some things worth noticing are: Look how fast it opens up photos Check out the nifty transtitions – no laggy boring screen switches – you see visual transformations of one area of the phone (menu) [...]
K01 The side sliding K01 has a huge 4.1″ QVGA screen, full QWERTY keyboard and is 15mm thick. Although you’d expect this to be huge, with that 4.1″ screen (like the TG01), just check out how little space is wasted either side of the screen! Great job toshiba! It’s even manages to fit an odd, [...]
The calendar app on the N900 is the best iteration of a Nokia Calendar app on a Nokia Mobile Device. On its own merit, visually it looks pretty good; full screen with some slick transitions. Having a really crap calendar experience with S60 5th Edition makes this look even better for me (was that the [...]
This video is in German, but don’t worry if you’re Anglophone-only. This is a hands on demo of the N900′s Mozilla Browser, and the alternative Fennec Browser Beta demonstrated via TV out. Compared to the default Mozilla Browser, Fennec has side loading tabs, different icons/buttons and it seems it doesn’t load flash content (at least [...]
The BBC recently aired a couple of technology focused documentaries, one called Life and Death of a Mobile Phone and the other Upgrade Me. They’re available to watch/download on the BBC iPlayer (Sorry, UK residents only – er, unless you know how…) I always find it interesting to see technology related programmes designed for the [...]
Senior Product Manager, Mikko Korpelainen demonstrates the Maemo 5 Web Browser on the Nokia N900 [Youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUCc2C4JPJE] Flash isn’t anything new on a Nokia, but 9.4 on the N900 looks really good. On previous Nseries (even tablets), flash was ok, but it would not render full flash heavy sites like your desktop. Especially not flash game [...]
UPDATE: Since installing V21.0.045 I have no more hard reset problems! I thought V21 didn’t fix it, but that was because I was just getting impatient and staring at that damn “Nokia” Screen too long. It does take about 50 seconds, where before it would only take around 28 – anything past 40s meant you [...]
“Banner” is a scrolling LED Dot Matrix Display for S60 5th Edition devices like the Nokia N97, 5800, 5530, Samsung i8910 and Sony Ericsson Satio. You can change the message to whatever you like using the on screen keyboard or if you’ve got a proper keyboard (N97/N97 Mini) you could use that instead. It’s in [...]
Known from thecreativelife.com, thecreativelifeblog.com, samsungcreative.com, pocketcreative.com, allaboutiphone.net and of course NokiaCreative.com, James Burland joins another project… here at mynokiablog.com! James has been blogging about gadgets and the tech world way before a lot of the new tech/Nokia related blogs even existed, certainly way before I joined the blogosphere when I was only on mobileburn forums. [...]
Michael Jerz from MySymbian has been testing the Nokia N900 for several weeks and has published a monster of a (p)review. This is, btw, of a Proto N900, so some findings may or may (have) change(d) with actual final production N900. [N900: Positively small compared to its ancestors] Skimming through the first page and it’s [...]
I found this via @MickyFin (originally from @chansearrington) How to get 1 year’s free turn by turn licence on Ovi Maps. 5 Steps to get your 1 year’s Ovi Maps turn by turn licence Open up Ovi Maps 3.0 on your Nokia phone. Find a landmark – either do this via search or if you [...]
A while ago I asked WordPress about full RSS for my blog, and they mentioned Google Reader may just not be getting full RSS, but wordpress had it so I assumed there was nothing that could be done my end. Today, just read from Stefan on intomobile that I’ve actually just got partial feeds. A [...]
SpeedTester is a simple, free game from the Ovi Store that tests rapid responses and thumb-eye coordination. You have four lights which will light up one at a time. All you have to do is touch the one that is lit. This occurs very slowly at first, and as your points rises, so does the [...]
I just watched Episode 91 of Steve Litchfield’s “The Phones Show” where in this episode, he covers Application Stores: Apple’s App Store Nokia’s Ovi Store Google’s Android Market. The Ovi Store is supposed to be Nokia’s one stop shop for Applications, Games, and other content such as ringtones, videos, wallpapers and themes. I’ve been using [...]
Here’s “Candle” another one of those free apps where it’s just difficult to see any practical use for it. Maybe waving it at a gig? Impromptu candle for a romantic dinner? It’s a realistic candle that you can put out by swiping, and lighting up by double swiping. It works in portrait and landscape though [...]
To the average consumer, the N97 and N97 mini are practically the same phone. (Heck, that’s understandable when some people I know can’t even differentiate between manufacturers). Appearance wise, they might as well be. But there are some minor visible differences. The N97 mini looks fractionally smaller than the N97 (for me, not enough to [...]
“Lights” is a free application from the Ovi Store for S60 5th edition but it does work best if you’ve got a QWERTY keyboard (i.e. N97 or N97 mini). The application basically controls the lights on your phone, be it the keyboard lights, the red/green call/end keys, screen light or even the charger light. You [...]
