Advertisements 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 […]
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) […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Holy smokes! The N900 is at a rock bottom price considering it’s Nokia’s highest spec’d Nseries device to date. Not only is it cheaper than the N97 at launch (both SIM free and contract) – it’s cheaper than the N97 on contract right now! Even better is that you have the choice of excellent 24, […]
Aah, the slide to unlock. A side swiping gesture made iconic by the Apple iPhone. No button combinations, holding keys or unlock switches – just a somewhat futuristic thumb-flick to the right. A mate of mine stupidly bought an iPhone (first gen) just for the slide to unlock. N97, 5800, 5530 and other S60 5th […]
This is nothing of major significance. I just like to have some record of start up times (to see in firmware upgrades down the line if it’s improving or not). To make things fair, time starts from “pressing on” until I see the screen (easier to make comparable results this way) For comparison: the N97 […]
