Advertisements 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 […]
“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 […]
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 […]

It’s main selling features were its touch optimization and multiple tabbed browsing (up to 4). Now, Opera Mini 5 beta has been released and it simply cruises […]
Jussi Makinen joined by Maemo Community guys. The vibe of the Q&A is receptive Nokia is (or attempts to be) towards the community in making a handset. Nokia seems to be pushed to make devices based on what the consumer demands, unlike perhaps some other manufacturer which tells you what you want. It’s great to […]
I’ve uploaded this just for anyone who wanted to see Gary Birkett, creator of the “Identity” N900 powered installation at the OneDotZero event that happened this weekend. It’s in two parts because I can’t upload anything longer than 10 minutes. The videos show Gary’s Liqbase playground which he’s been working on for quite a while […]
The main attraction at BFI was the Nokia N900 and the “Identity” Installation that was powered by the N900. You just type in your message on the N900, and via projector, displays your text across a 42 metre long wall (with 6 projectors). The text themselves are made up from twitter feeds concerning onedotzero. If […]
