It took a lot of motivation and a significant bit of my patience to sit down and pick through, one by one, the utter dross that MANY “tech sites” like to cite and quote as fact when making their arguments but I cannot idly stand by and not vent my frustration and tear down these [...]
If there were any fears that Nokia’s upcoming MeeGo devices would have specs in keeping with current S^3 devices, we can all breathe a somewhat collective sigh of relief. Recent tweets and announcements from the MeeGo conference follow on twitter here minimum specs have been confirmed to be a minimum of 512MB RAM, 600MHz+ [...]
You may have seen MeeGo on a netbook. The interface looked pretty similar to Intel’s Moblin for netbooks. As Engadget discovered on a 10-inch Moorestown Quanta Redvale tablet, the MeeGo tablet UI looks completely different. “To say we’re impressed with the “pre-alpha” version of the software is a huge understatement.” This tablet is powered by [...]

About a month ago, I wrote a post about firmware update wishlist for the N900. Last week, we had 2 firmware updates, a mini one and a big one. I’ll combine the observations of both in this post. The new firmware updates seems to have solved a few items on that list including: 2. Portrait [...]
With S60 if you have several apps installed, you might not know there’s a newer updated version until you try out that application again (and that’s if you’re lucky). Today, the N900 gave me a notification saying a few applications I had previously installed had some updates. I continued and the N900 proceeded to install [...]
[Update: Be warned, some apps from this catalogue may harm your N900] As a N900 user, you might be aware that although Ovi isn’t yet officially ready for the N900, you can still get buckets of apps via the app manager. [App Manager>Download>Refresh] With the app manager you can download lists of applications from predefined [...]
This is a quick 4 minute video to show the game “Super Tux” on the Nokia N900. This game uses the N900′s QWERTY keyboard, with arrows for navigation and predefined letters for jump/power/duck. Now, the N900 doesn’t have a D-pad like the N97, but you can change the controls so you can still have your [...]

Hey all, I’m sure a lot of you have seen Nokia’s N900 talk time test with the talking clock? if not its below. I thought that I would do my own test as Nokia’s one is only really half a test (it’s assuming that if the battery is showing half left that it will last [...]
This video was made a couple of days ago and was initially just to show Mauku running on the N900. It’s a very simple, fast and easy to use twitter application, getting you to your twitter feed and sending out tweets quickly – respond/retweet and check out other people’s posted links. To get Mauku, Go [...]
In the very first view preview videos of the Nokia N900, we saw that in contrast to the landscape oriented OS, when the N900 is turned in portrait, it activates call mode. Now this is particularly helpful since the N900 doesn’t have any hardware call/end keys. At best, you have to press the power button [...]
In this video I demonstrate how I’ve been using Maemo 5′s panoramic desktop on the Nokia N900. Quick show of my four desktops How to add apps shortcuts/bookmarks/widgets How to change the background What do your homescreens look like? [Ctrl+Shift+P to print screen] We’ve had customizable desktops/homescreens on a Nokia for quite a while since [...]
Graphics wise, whatever glitzy eye candy game you can show off on the iPhone, the N900 can do it too [and possibly look better if games will utilise the 800×480 screen of the N900 vs the Paltry 320×480 of the iPhone). Bounce Evolution was the first 3D game shown on the N900 and everyone was [...]
Unlike the N97, the Nokia N900 takes advantage of its QWERTY keyboard and utilises some helpful shortcuts to allow for certain actions or to just make some a bit quicker. Here I’ll compile the keyboard shortcuts for the N900. I don’t know them all yet, some I only picked up yesterday thanks to your tips [...]
The N900 has a 5mp camera – 4:3 ratio at 2576×1936. It also takes widescreen 16:9 images at 2576×1488 (3.5MP). Below are some photos I took a couple of days ago on the way to one of my lectures. It was a pretty gloomy/cloudy/rainy day with some brief spots of sunshine. 16:9, 3.5MP 16:9 and 4:3 [...]

But since I was [...]
This morning WOMWorld kindly sent over the Nokia N900! Much excitement aside, I won’t be writing much in this post; I’ll leave the video and photos to speak for themselves. Hopefully you’ll be on a broadband connection as there’s tons of live pics of the N900, the box contents as well as an unboxing video [...]
