Now that we’ve established pretty much a significant proportion of the voting MNB Readers want the Nokia 808 PureView, the next decision to make is which colour. We haven’t seen that many comparisons yet for actual pics, but here are the press ones. As you can see, they display the curve edge of the [...]
There seems to be some confusion and doubts in the blogosphere as to what the N8 successor might actually be running on. It seems highly obvious to some though there is ‘news’ and ‘evidence’ that others put forward to suggest it might be the other. For the benefit of Nokia, what does the N8 successor [...]
Yesterday the discussion was mostly about Nokia’s delivery times for updates. Now let’s look at that oh so subtle change of the legend of a name that was Symbian – the first to bring smartphone to the masses which now has been quietly dropped in line for the Nokia brand, Nokia Belle. It’s been almost [...]
Now let’s check out the currently available Nokia 800 colours side by side. Like the N9, the Lumia 800 comes in Pink (Magenta), Blue (Cyan) and stealthy black. They’re all pretty stunning, no?
I saw @ChanseArrington, (Head of Developer Marketing – North America – Nokia.) ask on twitter: “New Names or Submit your own idea! -> Poll: What should Nokia call their series of Windows Phones in the US?http://bit.ly/ou3QSW“ Wow, does this mean that in addition to the new numbers convention, as begged, Nokia may also award their [...]
Thoughts on Symbian Anna Update and Camera Update for N8 It’s over a week now since the first wave of Symbian Anna Updates was officially released. Then on Monday, N8 users had a special camera update. (Note, the majority of S^3 users have received the update, more waves of updates are rolling out, with some [...]
Before the world of smartphones exploded, there was a race in the ‘dumbphones’ to be smaller, and slimmer. Some so slim you could snap it in half. Expectations changed as people started accepting that for more features, the phone would have to be a little bit thicker. But with each successive generation, slimming [...]
Time and time again I have noticed long time Nokia fans “defecting”. From friends, to readers here and to the Nokia Blogging community as a whole. Perhaps with the latter it’s normal for blogs to come and go, but it is a shame that so many of the blogs I read just disappeared. Is that [...]
A poll is being conducted at Nokia Conversations to possibly decide on the 6th special edition colour. We’ve got Black (ha, Nokia acknowledges it’s black and not “dark grey”/Silver/Blue/Orange/Green (the latter three if you’re lucky enough for your country’s carriers/networks to have it). What should the 6th be? Let’s imagine that there was going to [...]
A frequent suggestion in blog comments relating to Nokia is to go with Android/WP7 and when it was available, to go buy Palm for WebOS. Why? Nokia has in house, Symbian and Maemo, the latter of which has become MeeGo – though the phone side has no presence on the market since there are no [...]
Yesterday, we saw some comparison photos between the Nokia E7′s CBD AMOLED and Samsung’s Renowned Super AMOLED. We asked you to vote in a poll, which seemed brighter and more vibrant (points where Samsung’s displays have always been king). Thank you for the incredible response – we had over 1000 votes so far, with 700 [...]
I don’t know about you, but I’m hooked on mobile internet and always being ‘online as it happens’. With the Nokia N900, MicroB and FireFox Mobile, the only thing that limits me getting to the sites I want is a signal. In the UK, O2 and T-Mob have been doing a fairly decent enough job [...]
Having read YET another article, this time by Gartner predicting the demise of Symbian (Same people that predicted Windows Mobile 6′s dominance over Symbian in the 00′s) and comparing it to the Titanic of all things, Read here: http://blogs.gartner.com/nick_jones/2010/07/11/is-symbian-re-arranging-the-deck-chairs-on-the-titanic/ I thought I’d put up a poll to ask where YOU felt Symbian is heading and [...]

Click here to go directly to the poll With Nokia’s first Symbian^3 handset on the visible horizon (approx 6 weeks to go) a hot topic right now is the possibility of upgrading the Nokia N8′s Symbian^3 to Symbian^4. It’s worth noting that as always, Nokia will support the N8 with free software updates that could [...]
In addition to the standard black N97 mini, it will also be coming, not just in white, but in garnet red. Let’s hope the white N97 mini doesn’t fall prey to the same quality issues (light leakage, paint chipping, staining, poorer quality keyboard) that the original white N97 did. (see this post about my previous [...]
Dan Ackerman has been playing about with Nokia’s upcoming Booklet 3G (due out 15th in the US) In summary: + Feels robust, yet not overly heavy + Relatively high res 1366×768 pixel (enough for 720p HD movies) + HDMI out + In built 3G (via AT&T in US) + 16 Cell battery (claimed 12h though [...]
Vote as applicable. One of the easiest tasks on Nokia phones was getting to your contacts. Type a few letters of the name as you would in a text message, i.e. via alphanumeric keypad, and possible names are suggested, narrowing down the choices the more letters you typed. No more lengthy scrolling. Annoyingly, we don’t [...]
