Hello All, In this day and age of superphones, HD screens, Quad and Dual-Core CPUs, millions of polygons per second GPUs, unibody construction, 5+inch screens and 41MP monster cameras and nearly a million apps across OSes, I almost wonder how did we make it in the “dark ages” of mobile technology a few years ago. While [...]
I came across this video and upon watching it, many memories of Nokia rushed through my mind, its old struggles and new struggles, competition from rivals Samsung, Apple, OS rivals-Android, iOS and basically the media at large. Maybe it is just me and my memories of using Nokia tech, TV-out via RGB, GPUs back in the OMAP24xx era, [...]
Dear MNB readers, During CES 2012, we reported on Microsoft’s Smoked By A Windows Phone challenge (Link) where MS demonstrated WP7 Mango’s ability to perform everyday tasks quicker than most smartphones/OSes. Well, those series of events inspired me to make a few videos of the things that I use my Lumia 710 for each day and [...]
Hello MNB readers! Adding to our Nokia Lumia coverage is my very first Unboxing video (ever) of the Lumia 710. The video itself isn’t anything special and was quickly put together but what is special is the value that the Lumia 710 provides, the build quality and access to content. There are some of us that still wish [...]
Dear MNB readers, the Nokia N8 impresses once again. Say what you may about Symbian^3/Anna/Belle and even Nokia, but we cannot truthfully deny the craftmanship that went into designing and developing the N8′s 12 Megapixel 720p Carl Zeiss camera module. From GSMArena: The rapid progress that cameraphone have been making over the past few years is no secret [...]
Hello fellow Mynokiablog readers! Today we present an honest (harsh?) video comparison of Asphalt 6! The nitty-gritty details can be found in the video description below. From MrNokiaTech: “NOTE: Gameloft “ported” Asphalt 6 to the Symbian^3 OS. It appears that they were not able to harness the power of the Broadcom GPU and [...]
From Nokia Conversations, The Official Nokia Blog: “GLOBAL – Today Nokia and news network CNN have announced plans for an international agreement which will see Nokia providing rich mapping services to the network. You may have already seen the first fruits of this collaboration when CNN used Nokia’s new 3D maps to show the route [...]
As always, the game-seeker Camb078 from blog-n8.fr has found a cool Qt-based game on the Ovi store called TreeMaker. This cute game is a physics based puzzle that has various levels and chapters, like for ex : Angry Birds. Basically you(some kind of a black bird) should sling across platforms and make(?) trees or get(grow) [...]
@stevelitchfield from AAS compares video capture of the Nokia E7 and the mega Nokia N8. The N8 is the imaging and video king, 12MP, massive sensor, 28mm wide-angle Carl Zeiss optics and stellar stereo audio. But the E7 doesn’t do all that bad. It’s quite good actually. And that 4″ AMOLED CBD is just a [...]
Now this isn’t the first time Nokia has tried to promote their unlocked devices, and neither should it be the last. Another tweet from @chansearrington, this video posted two weeks ago shows the benefits of having an unlocked device. This is something I take for granted as I’ve always been particular to choose unlocked phones [...]
PhoneArena has published their 10 minute video review of the Nokia E7 Chicklet style physical QWERTY very comfortable to type on, with various language layout. One of the best keyboard experiences they’ve encountered. One of the best QWERTY keyboards we’ve tested on any handset Display almost infinite contrast with pitch black pixels. Visibility outside decent. [...]
Yesterday we saw Kasvopus, a new project from Tommi Laukkanen that brings a very promising facebook client to Nokia Devices. The only one so far comes by way of the frighteningly bad Social App produced by NOKIA. There’s quite some potential with Kasvopus, hopefully it will receive more updates and more features, but for now [...]
The Nokia Loop App that’s free for the N8 and C7 isn’t just for recording odd random sounds to pool into a track, you can also make actual music with actual instruments! (Yeah, let’s not get into the debate of what music is, you know what I mean :p) chrismcrowe has taken his N8, downloaded [...]
What were you filming/snapping the new year fireworks with? Iain Wallace AKA @the_accidental took his Nokia N8 to Edinburgh and the results look fantastic. No extended exposure setting necessary, I think his N8 was set to Auto (though if there was an option and you could put it on a tripod, that would also look [...]
I meant to post about this a couple of days ago but couldn’t post anything during the site move. Just saw it tweeted up by @dailymobile and remembered it. The Booklet 3G. It’s a pretty awesome little netbook, I mean, mini-laptop. Excellent 12 hour battery life (well) in a very, very compact frame with in [...]
Neat little video found by Jim of a very cool Flickr Viewer for the Nokia N8 and other Symbian^3 devices. This video demonstrates QML based QuickFlickr i.e. Flickr client running on Symbian device (N8). What you see on the video is not the final product and it lacks many features, graphics and it still has [...]
Mark Guim has found that the Annoying Orange phenomenon from YouTube is making eyes at the Ovi Store! In the video below, from Nokia’s youtube channel, Nokia wishes you a Merry Christmas and a Flamin’ Good New Year! And it stars, of course, The Annoying Orange. We’re told to keep our eyes peeled in January [...]
In the fashion world, style is essential. Your mobile phone is a part of your ensemble. It needs to be chic elegant, smart and beautiful There’s beautiful and then there’s smart; the Nokia C7 smartphone is both of these. In an age where every walk of life is using technology to help keep them connected [...]
Remember when hyperX released the 30FPS 720p video mod for the Nokia N8? Here are some great video samples of that in action. One thing, regardless of 25 (standard) or 30 (hack) FPS, N8′s videos are looking spectacular. Performance in ample lighting is amazing but equally so in low light well all others would falter. [...]
Here’s an advert/video demo for Nokia’s Ovi Store from Nokia Israel. It’s in Hebrew which I don’t understand but the translation of the description is as follows: Let’s see how you download applications from Ovi Store to your Nokia device. Ovi Store. Ovi Store is Nokia’s apps store offering you thousands of applications, content and [...]
As Nokia adverts go, this has to be one of my favourites. This was projected outside the Nokia Theatre (often accused of NOT doing enough to promote Nokia things of televised events that happen inside this theatre). It’s a Nokia N8 TRON:Legacy advert. What I like is that there’s a screen but then the projection [...]
