  • United States Turned On for Nokia Messaging

    Mark Guim
    20 Nov 2009 | 3:07 pm
    @nokiamessaging tweeted on Friday that the US has been turned on for Nokia Messaging. This means we can now set up our Nokia Messaging accounts directly from the phone. Previously, US residents had to press a button at email.nokia.com using a computer, then wait for an SMS on the phone. I mentioned on the Nokia N900 review that Nokia Messaging was previously not an option as an account type in the email application, but it’s now there. All you need to do is login. Nokia Messaging on the Nokia N900 I was also able to set up Nokia Messaging on the Nokia N97 mini by first downloading the…

  • Nokia N900 Starts Selling… For Real

    If you left your name and phone number with the Nokia flagship store in New York for the Nokia N900 waiting list, they have started contacting those on the list to go buy it at the store. It’s being sold for $569 plus NY tax. Unfortunately, I was told on the phone tonight that it’s not available for sale to the public because the waiting list is already full. Here’s a couple of photos from lefteyecc of Talk Maemo who happened to pick one up today from the NY store. I couldn’t call the Chicago store before they closed to find out if they’re doing the same thing.

  • Hands on the Nokia Booklet 3G for AT&T USA

    On Monday I met up with a few Nokia folks for some time with the Nokia Booklet 3G for AT&T in the US. We bowled afterwards too, but I won’t tell you how bad I scored. Instead, I’ll give you an overview of the Booklet, thanks to Nokia’s Joe Gallo who didn’t mind getting in front of camera for our blog readers. You can also watch this video in HD on Youtube. Subscribe to the channel to preview the latest videos before they get published on the blog.

  • Nokia’s Response About Dropping Symbian from Nseries by 2012

    Mark Guim
    18 Nov 2009 | 8:57 am
    It looks like the Maemo marketing team at the Nokia N900 London meetup got a little excited and said something they shouldn’t have. Ben Smith from The Really Mobile Project wrote that the team revealed on Wednesday that Nokia plans to drop Symbian from the Nseries line of devices in favour of Maemo by 2012. I’ve reached out to Nokia for comment and they say that the speculations are “completely premature.” This is the official response from Nokia’s corporate communications, “While it is our policy not to disclose details of our product roadmap, we’d…

But according to an official Nokia press release today, the N900 is “now on sale in the United States.” That’s a pretty deceptive statement, however. Try as I might, I could not locate a single N900 anywhere in the United States. Amazon, Buy.com, and Dell are still taking preorders for the device, yet haven’t updated the open availability, nor are customers getting any reliable answers through customer service.

    For those of you who preordered the N900, or are thinking of picking up the N97 or 5530 XpressMusic, listen up: Nokia is offering a $50 rebate for all purchases of the above phones, from today (Nov. 16, 2009) to Dec. 31, 2009. The rebate comes in the form of a prepaid gift card. In addition to cutting the UPC/barcode panel from your phone box, you’ll need to sign up for a free Ovi account – either Ovi store or Ovi Maps. Not sure what happens if you have an existing account – to be on the safe side I would just create a new one. Note the rebate form must be postmarked by Jan.

    The N900: A Game Changer for Nokia? The release of the N900 comes at an important time in Nokia’s history. Despite a new Symbian operating system, new touch handsets, and a growing smartphone market, the company’s smartphone division is faltering, with market share dropping 6% in the previous quarter. It’s not too hard to see why: competition is fierce, with Apple and Android phones getting better, cheaper, and faster. Add to that Nokia’s Symbian S60 operating system, which hasn’t evolved with the times, and things are looking pretty grim. But Nokia now has a new…

  • Just Black, N900, & E72 Themes For Nokia E71

    It’s been quite some time since I posted up some new themes, probably because I haven’t seen many that have really caught my eye. However, in the past few weeks there have been a handful of Nokia E71 themes posted up over at TehkSeven.net and some of them are beautiful. The simple & lightweight theme called “Just Black” is my current favorite and a few others look great as well. Check em out!… Just Black Download   E72 Theme For E71 Download   Maemo 5 N900 Theme For E71 Download That Maemo 5 N900 theme is also a personal favorite. I was extremely impressed by the theme…

  • Security: How To Remote Lock Your E71 From Another Phone

    Let’s say you leave your Nokia E71 at school and don’t want your classmates seeing those luvvy-duvvy text messages you send to your girlfriend. Or maybe you can’t find your phone and don’t want anybody using it. The E71 has a great security feature called Remote Lock built in. Many people overlook or don’t notice this feature, but I think it’s a must-have for everyone with an expensive smartphone and sensitive data. What does remote lock do? It allows you to send a unique message to your phone from another phone and it will lock. You need to create a special phrase like…

  • Black Nokia E72 Available For Preorder $469, Still Not Attractive To Some

    3 Oct 2009 | 8:45 am
    Just a quick heads up to the E71 users (few it seems) who are making the jump to the Nokia E72. Nokia’s newest Eseries flagship device has finally went on sale at Amazon for under $500. The E72 features a 5mp camera, 3.5mm audio jack, usb charging, slightly bigger keys, a newer version of Symbian S60 (including icons and menu transitions) and of course a slightly updated design. I really wish Nokia would’ve went balls out with this “E71 upgrade” and added a 2.8” screen, heck I would’ve been happy with a 2.6” screen. For me all the other upgrades are worth it, although I agree…

    While news of the E72 has been scarce and having 0 announcements at Nokia World 2009, I cant get my mind off the amazing E-series handset that is looming in the shadows. While I did find the N900 interesting I feel the E72 is going to be even better. For the past year I have been using the E71, and its been one of the best phones I have ever used. The speed, the style, the keyboard, everything (but the camera!) is simple amazing. Although I own the N97, I find it hard to pickup since its capabilities are much more limited and I feel the E71 is simpler and more accessible. Luckily some new…

    Russell’s write up of True Stories Told Live brought to mind a few things said at the David Eagleman and Philip Pullman reading/chat at the QEH – Eagleman’s Sum is the atheist/agnostic/Fortean/possibilian/Eno-approved book du jour; 40 tiny, short stories or vignettes of a very few possibilities of what happens after we die (by-the-by, one that didn’t make the cut was about cities being sentient, but with no input/output mechanisms for us to understand them).

Oh, and it wraps around the BT Tower. (bad photo – it’s hard to take a picture of) It can be seen from Aldwych, the South Bank, parts of the City, even glimpses from Clapham Junction. It has a brightness of 3000 Nit (candela per square metre) – or over 810,000 lumens in total. Standard laptops and desktops operate at around 250 Nit, a screen designed to be seen in daylight is 500 Nit, a cloudy day…

    We say that the Nokia N900 running Maemo 5 is a computer. It is a computer in your pocket. What an earth do we mean? Let me try to explain what I think. This is my interpretation.A computer of 2009 -- not 1999When I talk about a computer, I talk about a computer people use today, especially young people. Think about the internet, messaging, sharing, openness, and think about browsers and players. Don't think about spreadsheets, word processors, file managers, or closed systems. That should put you in the right ballpark to start with.Open and expandableI want Maemo software to be expandable…

    It is surprising to me how many big companies do not understand how the web and social media is going to empower and change EVERY ASPECT of their business, their industry and their competitors business.

    Mac has written two short but deep posts, inspired by a talk by Sophia Roosth. What inspired Mac was Sophia's "anthropological insight" that DIYbio is "domesticating" Biology.While I don't feel that it's an explicit doctrine, domestication of Biology is indeed the spirit of what DIYbiologists are up to. It's something that arises from the curiosity, openness, and tinkering that represents the DIYbiolgist "ethic."

Now, all that is mainstream and mundane, and, as you say, mixed in with other forms of communication and engagement, so they are a bit irrelevant now.

Plus, it covers screen and body.
