15 hardware changes that would have made N900 physically irresistible – [15 essential hardware features for its successor]

| December 27, 2009 | Reply

Advertisements The N900 is a great phone, but it is (as Nokia themselves have more or less said) a work in progress. I’ll say it again, it’s step 4 of 5 to Maemo glory. Software evolution to one side (see firmware update wishlist for N900),  understandably, this early adopter product isn’t physically “perfect” for mass market. […]

Video: 9 homescreens on the N900 – all accessible in one swipe

Nokia totally got me hooked on their concept of homescreens and “alwaysonlineasithappens” with the N97. I found it extremely useful but wanted more of it than the one homescreen + blank screen that the N97 has. With the N900 we had four homscreens! At last! I’m able to have a main desktop for things I […]

How to: Tethering your N900 to your PC – One Touch Access

Out of the box, the N900 supports data tethering. No settings to endure or subscriptions to pay. This means you can connect your N900 to your computer should you need to connect to the internet other than ethernet/WiFi. [Though you must check you’ve got a data plan and your network supports this] This has been […]

Firmware update wishlist for the N900: 35 things that need sorting in the Nokia N900 (software wise)

We all know that the N900 is a work in progress. Nokia famously proclaimed the N900 to only be “step 4” of a 5 step route to Maemo glory and smartphone perfection. Well words to that effect anyway. Hardware wise -I won’t go into this too heavily though there are three main aspects that resonate […]

This is a video for the Nokia Zero: The new Nokia phone to rule them all. This post is meant to demonstrate the importance of having a “memorable product name”. This goes for services as well as devices. Here I’ve taken “Zero” as an example. The rest of the post after the video explains why […]

Liqflow on the N900 – simple visual delight

I remember seeing demonstrated for the first time at OneDotZero by its creator, Gary Birkett. Liqflow uses the N900’s accelerometer and touch screen to bring about a simple yet mesmerising movement of dots that change colour depending on speed of their movement [gray/white when slow moving – ascends across a rainbow of colorus as it […]

iN ITPro – one of the leading tech sites in Britain has reviewed the Nokia N900 and summarises it as “Quite simply, it’s a breath of fresh air.” As with most reviews of the N900 – hindering it seems to be the size (at times the resistive screen), but other than that, it’s very good […]

Previously we looked at Mauku as a twitter app for the N900. I liked the look, but it lacked ability to read tweet replies and direct messages. Witter might just be the twitter application to try out as it does allow you to read mentions and direct messages. There’s a simply bar at the top […]
