…The Nokia N900 has arrived at my house. Well maybe. I haven’t opened the DHL bag yet and won’t open it until I get home after lectures. I want the first time the N900 box is opened to be on film, ha. It may possibly be that there’s just a box inside, maybe even a [...]
At the onedotzero event, I remember trying to get the N900 to crash with low memory errors or slow down. I couldn’t. MySymbian proves this in the video below where the N900 is pushed to multitask all available apps. Where most others would have frozen, crashed or killed other applications to open a new one, [...]
Stuff Magazine takes a look at “Meem 5″ powered Nokia N900. Ha, MEEM. What’s echoing across many of the gadget blogs is that the N900 is: Chunky, Bulky Impressive – has “potential”. has a Great Browser How much will this bulkiness put the mass public off from even trying out the N900? It was certainly [...]
After an initially positive view of the N900 over at the Telegraph, Claudine and some guy (Alan Carr?) as supposed “Gadget Inspectors” take a look at the Nokia N900. To see the video, you’ll want to head over to the Telegraph. Some interesting points: Whilst Claudine isn’t a fan of the physical QWERTY keyboard + [...]
About a month ago, through a series of clues, some bloggers found out about maemoproject. You most likely have already seen the video below: Today I received an A2 poster from WOMWorld which is a screenshot of a scene in the video: 10:15:52:08. It would have gotten here 2 days ago except there were some [...]
Cali Lewis from GeekBrief.tv, “a site that bridges the gap between hardcore geeks and grandmas who are casually interested in tech” has posted a very positive hands on of the Nokia N900. Cali seems to love that fm transmitter and the revived infra-red port, which will see universal remote control apps coming back to smartphones. [...]
Of all the technology blogs and news sites I read, the ones I find most intruiging are those that are intended for the general, non-tech-geeky masses. Why? Though there’s no nitty gritty info, I like knowing how information on the gadgets that fascinate us have trickled down to the non-geek public. It’s from these sources [...]
As well as a Nokia N900 advert, this could also be a Nokia N97/N97 mini advert based on how the Motorola Droid is supposed to be “better” than the iPhone. Real Keyboard Running Simultaneous apps (N900 multitasks like no other) Customizable 5MP camera Flash for night photos Removable battery Runs widgets on homescreen Allows open [...]
Mattew Miller from Nokia Experts has unleashed a tsunami of N900 videos going through each topic in much detail. You may have seen similar videos before, but the N900 with Maemo 5 is such a new platform for Nokia as a phone; there’s much for everyone to learn – good/bad/improvements necessary – from avid bloggers [...]
here are a couple of Nokia N900 videos courtesy of stevechippy from UMPCPortal. N900 Browser Demo You may have already seen some N900 browser videos (and expect a lot more what with Nokia dishing out 400 for people to test out!) but stevechippy‘s 13 minute video goes through quite a few websites showing exactly how [...]
The N900, like the N97, has a homescreen which you can customize with LIVE widgets , contacts, bookmarks and app shortcuts. However, unlike the N97, the N900: has 4 homescreens (effectively making 1 big panoramic homescreen) the widgets/shortcuts are not locked into any specific position (like previous tablets)- customizing is very easy – delete, add, [...]
Previously, the only way to make a call on a Maemo device was via skype. The Nokia N900 is the first Maemo PHONE so you can make your standard mobile/landline calls. [YOUTUBE=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eZu3nku2uM] What’s interesting with the current firmware in the N900 is HOW you make a call. There aren’t any hardware keys [Green/Red Call/End buttons]like [...]
Here’s a hands on demo of photo sharing via email on the N900. It’s very simple, fluid and very fast. Some things worth noticing are: Look how fast it opens up photos Check out the nifty transtitions – no laggy boring screen switches – you see visual transformations of one area of the phone (menu) [...]
The calendar app on the N900 is the best iteration of a Nokia Calendar app on a Nokia Mobile Device. On its own merit, visually it looks pretty good; full screen with some slick transitions. Having a really crap calendar experience with S60 5th Edition makes this look even better for me (was that the [...]
Michael Jerz from MySymbian has been testing the Nokia N900 for several weeks and has published a monster of a (p)review. This is, btw, of a Proto N900, so some findings may or may (have) change(d) with actual final production N900. [N900: Positively small compared to its ancestors] Skimming through the first page and it’s [...]
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 [...]
On Sunday, thanks to Donna and Robbie from WOMWorld.com/Nokia, I went along with a group people went to the N900 “Push” Workshop. What is Push? “It’s a unique project from Nokia. And we’re looking for help from the world’s most skilled designers, artists, hackers and modders. We want you to come up with ideas 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 [...]
Nokia N900 Preview-Review This is a quick hardware preview-review of the Nokia N900′s hardware, which is a final production grade. The N900s we were using in London had pre-production firmware. Annoyances if any could still be solved, not that we played long enough to check everything out sufficiently for even a preview. Unfortunately, we had the impression [...]
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 [...]
