Advertisements 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 […]
Holy smokes! The N900 is at a rock bottom price considering it’s Nokia’s highest spec’d Nseries device to date. Not only is it cheaper than the N97 at launch (both SIM free and contract) – it’s cheaper than the N97 on contract right now! Even better is that you have the choice of excellent 24, […]
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 […]
This is nothing of major significance. I just like to have some record of start up times (to see in firmware upgrades down the line if it’s improving or not). To make things fair, time starts from “pressing on” until I see the screen (easier to make comparable results this way) For comparison: the N97 […]
My phone’s been off all day, so I’ve only just found my messages from Jussi Makinen kindly answering some more of my questions on the N900 (Very hard to do concisely express questions on twitter). I asked about the video codec support, whether it could play videos without needing the likes of mplayer. – Jussi […]
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 […]
Jussi Makinen joined by Maemo Community guys. The vibe of the Q&A is receptive Nokia is (or attempts to be) towards the community in making a handset. Nokia seems to be pushed to make devices based on what the consumer demands, unlike perhaps some other manufacturer which tells you what you want. It’s great to […]
OK, did not have the best conditions, either lighting/situation (in middle of a talk)/timing (had to rush). This post is just to give you an idea of how the N900 sizes up in comparison to some classic Nseries handsets, the N800, the N82, N97 and of course the N95. The N800 looks gigantic and the […]
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 […]
