Advertisements 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 […]

Video: Nokia N900 Mozilla Browser, Fennec Browser and Video Out

This video is in German, but don’t worry if you’re Anglophone-only. This is a hands on demo of the N900’s Mozilla Browser, and the alternative Fennec Browser Beta demonstrated via TV out. Compared to the default Mozilla Browser, Fennec has side loading tabs, different icons/buttons and it seems it doesn’t load flash content (at least […]

BBC Documentaries: (1) Life and Death of a Mobile Phone and (2) Upgrade Me

| October 7, 2009 | Reply

The BBC recently aired a couple of technology focused documentaries, one called Life and Death of a Mobile Phone and the other Upgrade Me. They’re available to watch/download on the BBC iPlayer (Sorry, UK residents only – er, unless you know how…) I always find it interesting to see technology related programmes designed for the […]

Huge Nokia N900 and Maemo 5 (P)Review by My-Symbian

| September 30, 2009 | Reply

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 […]

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, […]

Video: Nokia N900 Swipe to Unlock

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 […]
