Advertisements Do you remember that post where we came across an FCC ID label indicating some countries for the N9 which were not yet on the availability list? http://mynokiablog.com/2011/07/22/nokia-n9-fcc-id-label-shows-n9-labels-for-france-india-thailand-and-more/ South Africa had a N9 label but was not yet part of the confirmed list. http://ringaz.nokia.co.za/mobile-devices/the-nokia-n9-yes-available-soon-in-south-africa/ The Official Nokia Blog in South Africa confirms that the […]

Nokia 500 Live Pics

Jay Montano | August 1, 2011 | 16 Replies

LÃ¡szlÃ³ has found a hungarian blog that has some live pics of the newly announced Nokia 500. http://www.technet.hu/nokia_blog/20110801/fotoriport_kezunkben_az_1_ghz-es_nokia_500/ It looks deceptively slim but it’s actually 14.1mm at the thick end.Â 111.3 x 53.8 x 14.1mm, at a quite light 93g. The curved nature means it’s easier to hold as it tapers at the edges rather […]

Goodbye Nseries/Eseries/Xseries! Nokia New Naming Conventions. Again. Sticks with just Numbers.

Jay Montano | August 1, 2011 | 49 Replies

Apparently Nokia are having yet again new names for their devices. And these new names are not names. They’re numbers. Lovely. http://conversations.nokia.com/2011/08/01/whats-in-a-name-nokias-product-name-conventions/ I’ll stick by my opinions on actually wanting a name. Ideally there would be both. A code name to distinguish amongst Nokia users where this handset lies and a name that’s marketable. (Numbers […]

More Symbian Belle Screenshots again (new browser multitab view?)

Good Morning folks. Apologies for the down time earlier. Nothing out of the ordinary in terms of traffic, so I’m not sure what caused it. I don’t know if it was a timely message to our host or just coincidence but things seem to right themselves after contacting them. Anyway, I’m sort of scared […]

Nokia Brings Kids Books to life with “Interactive Rich Reading” via Beta Labs

llaadd | August 1, 2011 | 9 Replies

With all the buzz about Leaked handsets, competitions (yes I’m also hooked on N9seconds comp), and all the things people keep saying that Nokia is doing wrong, I can’t help but be happy that when it comes right down to it, Nokia stay their course and do what I have always loved, which is to […]

Rumour: Nokia N9 possibly releasing for UK?

Michael Faro-Tusino | August 1, 2011 | 7 Replies

I spoke to my mate at Vodafone AU and he said he saw that there are rumours of that the UK will offer the handset from the 16th of August. (Apparently, Russia has a pre-order date the same as this). As we mentioned earlier, Australia has been suggested as the first market to launch […]

Leaked Screenshots and tour of Symbian Belle from Nokia 700 Zeta

Jay Montano | July 31, 2011 | 46 Replies

A bunch of Symbian-Belle screenshots have appeared (taken presumably from a Nokia 700/RM-670) on a Romanian Nokia Blog (via zCJ). 1) BROWSER: 1) Looks similar to Anna. However look at the bar at the bottom. You now have persistent/quick access to bookmarks, back/forward button and tab/window switching. Hurrah! Those were the issues I noted […]

Michael Faro-Tusino | July 31, 2011 | 117 Replies

Was curious so I thought i’d try sending Elop an email. Used Stephen.Elop@nokia.com.Â To my surprise I received a reply answering my questions. Is it really the Nokia CEO or just a troll? I asked a few questions that i’ve seen asked by others and thought i’d put thatÂ rumour that’s been floating around across the internet […]
