FireFox for N900 has been updated to 1.1. To download, point your N900 browser to firefox.com/m. (It will open up App manager and may ask to add a catalogue, click add. It will download a 12.1MB file and you’re done) Support for Portrait mode New start page (with options to pick up previously browsed tabs, [...]
Secret Exit, maker of Zen Bound has released “Spin” for the Nokia N900. It’s available at the Ovi Store now for £3 (UK). For some reason, it’s apparently only 2.99 EUR. (£2.46 – but do you guys pay tax on top of that?) Anyway, zehjotkah has uploaded a video demo of Spin on his N900. [...]
@benjezzy has created his first ever App: “Vuvuzela” for the Nokia N900. This infamous droning sound has (dis/)graced your TV screens whilst you watch the World Cup. YouTube’s even added a Vuvuzela button to celebrate it, masking out any audible video sound with what appears to be a tsunami of bees. It’s not the most [...]
Last time we posted about painting on the N900 was with the basic N900 sketch app, subject: Avatar – my attempt: – meh (thanks nonetheless for the kind comments ) There’s an app for the N900 called MyPaint which gives those with the skill tools to create their masterpiece. Boy, did Luovatone do just that. [...]
Following yesterday’s Android theme for the N900 is Blue Sky (a comment recommended “Sky” but we couldn’t find it, unless this is the same thing). Anyways, this is a great theme for the N900 because: New icons for default N900 apps (First time I’ve used a Maemo 5 theme that changed the icons) New backgrounds [...]
The Nokia N900 is arguably the best multitasking phone out there by the sheer number of apps it can juggle simultaneously (for real and not some fake multitasking) and also by that beautiful interface Live grid of applications (not static images or worse, icons – how 2002) that is contextual (windows/grid changes in size depending [...]
If you’re new to London, one of the fastest, cheapest but most daunting ways to get around the city is via the underground. Looking at the map for the first few times is overwhelmingly confusing, resembling nothing more than a bundle of coloured strings. Geeting from A-B may be fine if you’re on the same [...]
I don’t normally show case themes but I really like this Android theme for the Nokia N900. It doesn’t make your N900 appear like Android, but just picks of on hints of the design. It changes up the bookmark icons on the homescreen so the edges of the rectangles are rounded, plus the title bar [...]
One complaint that many have brought against the Nokia N900 is that it largely lives in a landscape world. This is, according to Nokia, entirely by design. However, with the various updates to the firmware and software over the months, Nokia have added in support for portrait use of various bits and pieces. Out of [...]
Reggie from Talk.Maemo.org has come across a very exciting document about the MeeGo handset UI guideline. The actual page is down but as Mark Guim from the Nokia Blog points out, it’s available through google Cache. (Note the fruit name of the page, Bananas and Pears) In case that gets deleted too, Chrome from TMO [...]
Zen Bound was one of the upcoming games previewed to arrive to the N900 along with 3D rollercoaster. It’s a beautiful 3D game, quite addictive with very calming music. Here’s the blurb from Ovi Store: Zen Bound is a calm and meditative puzzle game about wrapping wooden sculptures with rope. It is a tactile experience, [...]
Following on from part 1, as a new addition to Jay’s team here, here’s a look at what the second half of the last decade looked like for me, in terms of Nokia devices and the evolution of their specifications. My upgrade opportunity in 2007 was well-timed for the arrival of the iconic N95. Until [...]
You know the tech have been talking about Nokia’s decline for a long time with the iPhone and Android innovating in certain areas but especially this week when Steve Jobs unveiled iPhone 4 with a certain feature that we are all so familiar with here in Europe for what it feels like forever. The feature [...]
On Talk.maemo.org, Frals, creator of fMMS (bringing MMS to Maemo 5/N900 users) is working with wOOt to create a portrait keyboard for the N900. I’m glad they chose to do the traditional T9 input as that’s much easier to use with one hand (for me anyways -I know there are also many who would prefer [...]
Still stuck on 3.2010.02-8 for your N900? App Manager and Nokia Software Updater not showing any PR1.2 updates? Manually update to PR1.2! It’ll take 5 minutes (not counting download time of files) We’ve updated the post on Hard Resetting/Flashing N900 for PR1.2 this time, simplified even more with images to guide you through the process [...]
Titanas demonstrates a new inbuilt feature of Skype Video Calling that came with the new N900 firmware. Previously, video calling was only capable with google-chat – and you couldn’t initiate video calls, only receive them. [YOUTUBE=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCGenvooc6s]
The other day, we say N900 running Android. Here are a few more video demos from another user who has been trying out Android on his N900. Xplosion974
Memmx has uploaded an 8 minute video comparing browsing and gaming on the Nokia N900, Nokia N97 and HTC Desire. Quite surprised with N97, that game at the end didn’t actually look too bad. [YOUTUBE=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UV2LmbPTiyI]
Don’t drop your N900… It might appear random but…. Remember this video? It actually isn’t the first Nseries to become a transformer. The N93i famously appeared on Transformers as a remarkable “Japanese” phone which was turned into a robot Alphalim via @benjezzy Some more N900 marketing – @kazuyank via _Nexus
Anyone remember that insanely smart Johnny lee and his nintendo wii head tracking? Now it’s on the Nokia N900! Here’s one of Johnny’s many incredible videos, way, way ahead of his time This has obvious applications in gaming and Johnny’s already demonstrated that it can be used like a virtual window. Winscape takes this to [...]
cellfanatic takes a look at the browsing capabilities of the Android powered Motorola Droid, Symbian fuelled Nokia N97 mini and Maemo 5 super awesomeness that is the Nokia N900. N97 mini looks strikingly beautiful here. Anyways. Nick compares features such as: screen size screen resolution screen type (just a note, N900 does have a better [...]
