The IDC recently released their figures for smartphone shipments for Q2 2011 and it’s rather obvious that Nokia has had its lunch eaten without so much as putting up a fight. Apple, formerly the undisputed leader in terms of profits from their smartphone sales moved into the #1 spot with Samsung clinching the #2 spot. [...]
Here’s another side by side split screen comparison between the Nokia N8 and this time the Samsung Wave. This is from gsmarena07 The wave, despite supposedly recording at 30FPS looks jerkier and less fluid in movement than what’s labelled as the N8. (Noticeable in the car portion) [YOUTUBE=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMODvvrQDcw]] Next – iPhone 4. I don’t understand [...]
Here’s a video comparison of the Nokia N8 and the iPhone 4 split screen style by BesteProduct. Is that really the N8? I didn’t realise it was that good in comparison to iPhone 4. What’s with that murkiness on the iPhone 4 – it seems rather washed out in this test. Interestingly they also switch [...]
In a world of Nokia that’s waiting for the Nokia N8 (and successors) while competitors continue to innovate and advance, I thought I’d take a rather tongue in cheek look at what might happen with future devices should Nokia as a company merge with some of those competitors. Note this is not meant to be [...]
A week on from Nokia’s N97 mini being tarred with the same antennagate brush, I thought that since Apple is dragging out the issue by now poking fun at Moto’s Droid X on the weekend, we might check out the real problem which was wonderfully cloaked by antennagate. Wonderfully, El Jobso evaded the issue of [...]
The official Apple page on youtube has been uploading some videos of competing smartphones to demonstrates what they consider to be similar antenna problems as their own iPhone 4 which when touched decides to kill your signal. When signal strength is reduced sufficiently on the iPhone 4, it eventually CUTS your call. Looking at the [...]
With the disappearance of Symbian-Guru and World of Nokia in recent months, I’m sure a few readers of the various Nokia blogs out there are wondering who’s going to drop next. To be honest, I wouldn’t be surprised if a few more do go before too long. Nokia have made announcements that excited everyone, and [...]
Knowyourcell had some hands on with the N8 and took a snap with other popular smartphones, the new Nokia E73, the HTC EVO 4G and the iPhone 3GS. Look at the photo below, the EVO is positively HUUUGE. I must say, that 4.3″ would make some nice video viewing and web browsing. As the N8 [...]
Writing the articles about my history with Nokia was apparently quite well-timed with the announcement of the iPhone 4, where Apple yet again announced a load of new features as being brand-new, game-changing aspects of their new device, despite the fact that Nokia have been pushing out countless gadgets with such things for a while. [...]
As you all know Apple announced the iPhone 4 on Monday with relatively underwhelming features, that were made to look like Apple invented them, by using buzzwords and other things that would make an average American journalist pee in their pants in excitement. Now at these Apple keynotes at the end of the keynote Steve [...]
This is mainly a tongue in cheek rant, written very late so it probably may not make sense. Note – if you are reading this, you are not the “public” which is described in this article. Again, press X now or prepare for walls of text. Perception, perception perception. What Nokia needs to learn from [...]
Nokia’s strongest competitor has officially announced a new iteration of their handset, the iPhone4. What does Nokia have to compete with on the hardware front? Safe to say, if you like mobile photography, iPhone is still no match for Nokia. There are some nice things like the improved screen resolution with iPhone. Same design as [...]
This is absolutely THE best game available for ANY nokia right now (IMO). One of the reasons it looks really good is because it began life on the iPhone and has now been ported to Maemo (and other reason – we don’t have that (m)any titles at all ) The game interface just looks really [...]
dottormoresco has uploaded a video comparing the browsers of the Nokia N900 vs Samsung Omnia 2 vs iPhone 3GS size screen brightness Graphical User Interface (short tour – check out the highly customizable N900 homescreen vs…well…) Java/Flash plugins Browser scrolling Browser zooming (N900 spiral vs pinch and zoom – got to give it to pinch [...]
Some highlights of the final week of January 2010: we saw a fantastic game for the N900 called Numpty Physics, and Hiren showed us how to send MMS from the N900. WOMWorld played guess who with 40 Booklet 3Gs whilst Symbian put out a mysterious countdown (still ticking down – iz gonna be big apparently) [...]

Yesterday we asked which was (or would be, since iPad is not available) the most productive device for you iPad N900/Smartphone Booklet 3G/Netbook Laptop The results after one day so far: [Apologies, this oddly became longer than expected. The post was originally just the above. Yes it's not available yet, but this is just a [...]
Imagine you could only have one device on a day’s work. Steve Jobs criticized netbooks yesterday saying netbooks aren’t better than anything. Apple are now trying to carve yet another new niche (the path pre-paved by iPhone) or at least make people think that’s what they’re doing. Really, they’re just polishing, adding sprinkles of BS [...]
Steve Jobs announced today that Apple is the largest mobile company in the world (in terms of revenue). Bigger than Sony, Samsung and even Nokia. They said that their new device had to be something in between a laptop and a smartphone. For simple tasks like web browsing/email/apps, Jobs says there needs to be a [...]
Last night, Symbian tweeted about a Symbian countdown, which you can now see over at countdown.symbian.org/ It’s not like last week with an actual clock counting down; all we can see here is a static 108 and tweets that use the hashtag #Symbiancountdown What does it all mean? October 8? August 10? 108 units of [...]
Another test from James Burland places the 848X480 recording N900 against the 640X480 iPhone 3GS. James notes that currently the N900 suffers from frame rate drops and at times confusion with exposure. The frame rate issue is supposedly going to be fixed in the next firmware update. Nokia’s been producing phones with great video recording [...]
This is a video for the Nokia Zero: The new Nokia phone to rule them all. This post is meant to demonstrate the importance of having a “memorable product name”. This goes for services as well as devices. Here I’ve taken “Zero” as an example. The rest of the post after the video explains why [...]
