Advertisements Thanks to WOMWorld and Nokia, as part of the “Good Things” event, we got the chance to quiz Nokia’s senior global marketing manager, Arshia Varlet and colleagues Guiseppe (Pino) and Danesh on Ovi Maps. Here’s the 20 minute video of that session, underneath the transcript – questions in bold and additional thoughts/clarifications I meant […]
Yesterday, 5 groups in 2 man-teams navigated their way across London’s sights of attraction. But it wasn’t simply using Ovi Maps and locating point X. We were only ever given coordinates, which meant one wrong digit placement could lead us anywhere but where we had to go to. Once getting to the correct destination there […]
If you’ve been following a few posts [here, here and here] about the upcoming event in London, you’ll know that some Good Things are starting today! I’ll be tweeting away so check out @jaymontano for coverage on what’s happening – they do get pretty odd/random if I’m not actually in the middle of anything Nokia […]
These 3 videos like the previous 2 demonstrate: threaded SMS/IM; HTML email; and shortcuts from the N900. Threaded SMS/Instant Messaging – Conversation You can view send/receive text messages like how you’d chat via Instant Messaging. Your outgoing messages and replies are threaded together so you can see your conversations with that contact. You can quickly […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
“Banner” is a scrolling LED Dot Matrix Display for S60 5th Edition devices like the Nokia N97, 5800, 5530, Samsung i8910 and Sony Ericsson Satio. You can change the message to whatever you like using the on screen keyboard or if you’ve got a proper keyboard (N97/N97 Mini) you could use that instead. It’s in […]
