Lumia 800 to be released in KSA soon?
If any of you guys are following me on twitter (doubt it ) you’l know that I’ve had some serious issues with the micro-USB port on my N8; where cables hardly connect except after hours of fiddling and then I must stay deathly still cause the slightest movement disconnects the cable (for the record the USB port wasn’t great [...]
N9Apps: CutePress ( WordPress App )
Seeing as MyNokiaBlog is powered by WordPress, I thought it would be only fitting to bring a WordPress app to your attention. I was looking at Nokia Conversations and I found this app. ( Also a WP version is on the site. See source for link.) I really like it. It is simply to use, [...]
Nokia E7 on BBC’s Hustle, Mickey makes upside down call with N8.
In this week’s episode of the BBC’s Hustle, there’s more Nokia sightings as usual. This time, with the Nokia E7 up the top there. The Nokia N8 also makes an appearance, but unfortunately, Mickey seems to take the call upside down :S. Holding the right way up first… Now he’s making an upside down phone [...]
Nokia N900 seen in Seeking Justice (oh no, Nicky Cage :()
The Nokia N900 was apparently sighted in a move called ‘Seeking Justice’ or ‘Justice’ as it’s now known. I’ve had to slightly pixelate what’s on the screen but you can guess what it said. It’s a shame it’s a Nicky Cage movie. That poor man seems to be a stamp of a bad movie (saving [...]
Video: Canon EF Mount for Nokia N8 (and sample)
Do you remember Michael’s Telescope Mod for the N8? He mentioned you could pretty much put any type of lenses. This time he’s made a connector for the Canon EF style Lenses. It’s just a proof of concept, his mount is made of cardboard, rubber bands and the screw cap of the lens is what’s [...]
Nokia N8 on BBC’s Hustle. Making calls in offline mode.
This is the last series of Hustle, and as always they’ve got a bunch of Nokia phones appearing (as is their history). On the latest episode, I saw the crowd favourite, the Nokia N8. What’s special about it is that one of the main characters, Ash, is making a phone call on the N8. The [...]
#N9Hacks: Zoom While Recording Video (Terminal)
I was reading Ali’s excellent post on his experience with the Lumia 800 (which I agree about entirely) and remembered I haven’t shown you the first hack I placed on my N9. This hack allows you to zoom in and out while recording video. I found it quite annoying to have choose a distance and [...]

HowTo: Nemo on the Nokia N9
I’ve brought you information on MeeGo 1.3 CE aka Nemo for the N950, and told you there was talk about it on the N9. Well, a few weeks ago, I found a guide on how to install it to the N9. With this method, the N9 installs Nemo, without removing the Meego-Harmattan OS. It is [...]

I was bored, and thought I would surf the Nokia Store to see what new N9 Aops I could find. I’m not sure how new this is, but I found a speetest.net app. It is something I have looked for a few times actually, mainly because my mates have it on their Androids and iPhones, [...]

#N9Hacks: Volume rocker as Shutter Button (App)
I came across some chatter about this last night on IRC, but was waiting to post it until it was confirmed. Thomas Perl (aka thp ) has made a “quick and dirty” camera hack, that allows you to use the Volume up key as a dedicated camera shutter button. Not much to explain about it, [...]
#N9Hacks: Browser Mods (App)
I have actually got two mods to share with you today, both relating to the browser. The first alters a few settings that change the default action when opening a file. (This applies to the browser, as the browser “opens” files not necessarily saving them. Apparently the file manager saves them.) I have altered the [...]

Nokia N8 Successor Rumours galore: Sounds awesome, will make N8 users upgrade :D (it might still be Symbian)
I take info about upcoming phones very lightly, often we have had to ignore tips on upcoming phones as we don’t know where the news is from. However, dsmobile should be no stranger to you. He told us back in JANUARY 2011, that the newly designed Nokia N9 was the, “ sexiest mobile ever done. It’s [...]
#N9Hacks: Calendar Feed (App)
The Events screen on the N9 is very helpful in showing whats happening in your life, whether it be social updates, meetings and reminders for the day, or as an overview of notifications awaiting response. The sad thing is though, the Events screen only displays the calendar information for the current day. It is handy [...]
