  • Tmobile USA Speed Tests on Nokia N900 24 hrs After the Outage – Faster?

    Mark Guim
    4 Nov 2009 | 9:01 pm
    After unlocking my iPhone and testing if a T-mobile USA SIM card worked on it, a nationwide outage occurred. For a moment, I thought it was my fault. Well, it’s back in service and T-mobile confirmed it was a backend system software error. I ran some speed tests on the Nokia N900 today to see any changes. Before Outage Tests from October 15th After Outage Tests from November 4th Results It seems both download and upload speeds increased after the outage. Is this conclusive? I’m not sure, but I hope I continue getting these speed rates on the Nokia N900 here in New York. Oh, and…

  • App Review: Opera Mobile 10 beta on Nokia N97

    Mark Guim
    3 Nov 2009 | 1:22 pm
    Opera Mobile 10 beta just came out for Symbian S60 3rd and 5th edition devices. I installed it on the Nokia N97 right away and shot it on video to show you how it looks. It’s a nice alternate browser, but prepare for occasional headaches because it’s still in beta. 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. It is very similar to Opera Mini 5 which I demoed previously. This version is optimized for Symbian meaning faster rendering, zooming, panning and almost everything else you do…

    You probably already know that Qik lets you stream video live from your phone. In case you need a reminder, I met the cofounder, Bhaskar Roy, at the Nokia N900 NYC meetup and asked him to give The Nokia Blog viewers a demo. Take a look. 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. As a reminder, this is just a preview of what’s to come. This article is based on Qik version 0.0.36 running on a pre-production Nokia N900. Features may be added or changed when the Nokia N900 arrives in stores.

    6 Nov 2009 | 11:13 am
    While going through Gabor's article On Google's move in navigation, I happen to see the Google Sync page, Google Sync can setup with Mail for Exchange. You just need to download and install the Mail for Exchange (MfE) and later follow the Setup Google Sync. This is for the first time I saw one of the Google's official page contain a link to NOKIA software, they usually provide all softwares their own. I don't know how many of you're aware of this, those who're not aware they can just try this NOKIA + Google combination.

  • Nokia N86 On Sale For $399.99, N900 For $582.99

    13 Oct 2009 | 5:52 pm
    If any of you are waiting for the next Nseries device with xenon flash – I’m 99% sure it ain’t gonna happen this year – or even early next year. Personally I’m not expecting a REAL upgrade to the N82 at all. If any of you are waiting for the Nokia’s current imaging flagship – the N86 – to drop in price then now is a good time to price around. Amazon.com is selling the N86 for $399.99, although I'm not sure how long the deal will last. That's about $180 cheaper than the Nokia N900 which is currently available for presale at Amazon. For those who are hanging onto your N82……

  • N82 Screen Protector - Are They Needed & Which To Use?

    Mike Macias
    9 Sep 2009 | 10:24 am
    Are you looking for a screen protector for the N82? Or maybe full body protection? We've had our devices for awhile - and one thing I've learned is the longer you have something the less you take care of it. Whenever my sim card is in the N82 I tend to abuse it and don't treat it as gently as my Nokia N97. I've never protected my N82 in the past but I'm starting to think it might be time to find some good protection for it. Especially since I think I'll be hanging onto it for awhile as Nokia hasn't mentioned anything about a new Nseries device with Xenon flash. Keep reading for a few…

    I have a good question for the thousands of loyal N82 users that are eager to pick up a new device. Nokia has a few options available right now, but do they live up to your standards? Oddly enough xenon flash has been left out of Nokia’s new “top dog” devices including their so called imaging flagship – the 8 megapixel N86. Coming Up This Weekend   Coming up on this blog I’ll be showing you some articles comparing the N82 to the N86 and also to the popular 32gb Nokia N97. Since most of you already know the detailed specs of all of these devices I’ll mainly be focusing on…

Let’s start with the Google App. Google App For Mobile If you already use Google applications like Gmail, Maps, Youtube, the Reader website, etc on your N82 then the official Google Mobile App is for you.

    5 Nov 2009 | 9:08 pm
    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…

  • Thoughts on the Nokia N97 v20 Update

    ang
    30 Oct 2009 | 8:53 pm
    In case you haven’t heard, the N97 received a v20 update. The update added more kinetic scrolling, upgraded the Maps and Music Player applications, dropped in an older version of Nokia Messaging (10.1.0.13), and improved memory/battery life. Sounds good, right? While there are some nice improvements, in the end v20 isn’t the deal breaker that it was rumored to be. It won’t encourage more people to buy an N97, and nor will it have any sort of major impact on current N97 owners. But let’s go over some of the changes: Kinetic scrolling is a welcome addition to the…

I’ve had the 5530XM for roughly five hours now, and my first impressions are based on my usage during that time. Full review coming soon. Good (For Now) - Size: I love the size. It’s not too thick, and not too big either. Weighty enough to know that you’re carrying without being a burden a la N97 or (shudder) N90. - Build quality: Even though the 5530 XpressMusic is mostly made of plastic, like the 5800, it looks and feels a heck of a lot better. The material on the front is…

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…

    Russell said some while back that ‘Designers and architects are excitedly planning for a world where every building is draped in an interactive skin… and some of them will be beautiful. But most of them will be covered in unsatisfactory media art, and then, fairly swiftly, they’ll be featuring 2-for-1 offers from the local pizza shop.’ Well, you’ll be glad to know it’s happening tonight in London – a similar technology used for these projections will be used to open a facade advertising network, starting with Waterloo Station. 1730-2200 tonight (29th…

    I was rather tickled with a couple of recent stories about reactive street lighting – Toulouse’s heat-sensitive street lamps and Dörentrup’s textable lighting. I can’t help feeling there will be unintended consequences – will light attract as well as guide? Will people clump together to use the existing light rather than turn on their own? Will people start treating street lamps as familiar strangers? Is an unlit lamp lonely? I text it to let it know I’m thinking of them. I can’t help feeling that the action/reaction of being able to turn on lights…

    Getting close now!!It was cool to see the Maemo Summit participants playing with N900s. For those of you who still need to wait for a while (yes, my fault ...) check out the new videos from our UI team.We are working like maniacs to get the N900 finalized. I'm so proud of the Nokia teams in India, US, and Finland working hard on Maemo 5 .... and already equally hard on Maemo 6. And I'm also very happy to see the Maemo community efforts getting cool stuff on and inside the Maemo platform.People speculate now if N900 is a smartphone, or a computer, or a some kind of a killer of another phone…

    We had a good few days @ Nokia world in Stuttgart. Nokians, journalist, analysts, partners, operators, Maemo.org dudes, etc. I received overwhelmingly positive feedback from people once they saw a N900 in action. But then again, I do not know what they talked behind my back.Or actually I do. Very positive comments also in various blogs and articles. People understand what we are doing and they like the product.It is all about1) Internet (browsing, chatting, sharing, talking ....) first2) Open source & collaborative development for consumers3) True computer experience in a small…

  • How do we build Maemo devices?

    29 Aug 2009 | 3:17 am
    Nice buzz ;-)We have a tough last mile to finalize the N900 for the sales start. The Maemo team is working very hard and I'm so proud of it! Thus, I want to say a few words about how we build the Maemo devices. We do it as a part of the community in upstream projects, maemo.org projects, and internal hardware and software development, finalizing, and releasing.Upstream projectsThe most significant part of this joint development happens in upstream communities, such as kernel.org, Mozilla, and Gnome. Hundreds of individuals are participating the development and this is what creates the…

    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. The reason is simple, the operating system for business has changed, in other words the way human beings are motivated to connect and create value has changed. My belief is that every business has to realize that it is a co-creative eco-system that includes it’s employees, partners, competitors and customers and the way they are motivated to create and realize value is the only measure…

    I think this simple story of how a customer at PF Changs got an appetizer and desert bought for her after tweeting about her food is a great example of how small things can make a big difference. I love that this example demonstrates the value of connecting employees and customers through social media enabling a more human connection. Many companies should ask themselves ‘could something like this happen at my company’ and if the answer is no start removing the reasons why. Thanks to Andy Sernovitz for the video

Essentially a thinly veiled corporate mouthpiece and lobby is distributing books and curriculum to schools saying “think first copy later”. This to me is a disturbing indication of how corporations are infiltrating schools, which IMHO should be institutes of learning and broadening the mind as opposed to teaching corporate propaganda.

That was out of the ordinary, since most folks were either staff, team members, or volunteers (which is what I should have done to save the registration fees - maybe). Clever little undergradsI'm not going to go into details as to how the teams got to the Jamboree. Suffice it to say that anyone who wanted to come, came; also, the teams were undergraduates who thought long and hard on what they would build and then…

As a result, we're due some pricing information and, lo and behold, here it is courtesy of mobile comparison site Omio. It's possible to get the handset on a 24-month contract for as little as ?20 per month from Orange, though that'll only give you 200 minutes and you'll have to shell out ?170 for the handset. A similar 24-month deal from O2 for ?30 per month will net you 600 minutes, and the phone itself will only cost ?10. If you're determined to get the handset free, then a 24-month deal from…
