First some info to establish credibility: His about me page And thank you Steve for including a disclosure: Nokia sent me an N93 to evaluate and ended up letting me keep the phone. They also paid my expenses to go to NYC for the N95 product rollout. Nokia has not required me to write or…

I love this form factor, are you listening Nokia?
Direct link to video Source: TechEBlog Little request: combine that beautiful Hitachi 2.9 inch 800×400 screen with a slide out QWERTY keyboard like this, and I’ll fall in love. I doubt this will happen since a device like that would eat up the Nokia Communicator market share.
Engadget Mobile has a hands on with the Nokia N80 Internet Edition
Some highlights: It’s great that Nokia’s committed to revising its generally stellar smartphone lineup as it ages, but we do think that selling it with a new name is marginally misleading. The lion’s share of the N80IE’s revisions lie within Nokia’s new "Download!" client. We love it; it’s a concept that no smartphone should go…
Samsung PC Studio … looks very familiar
I was reading a review of a new Samsung (listen they make great phones too) HSDPA mobile phone when I stumbled across this screenshot. Their icons are so much better and easier on the eyes.
How does it feel to have Super Model Anina wish you a Happy New Year?
It feels grrreat! Thanks Anina, Happy New Year to you too! 10 hours 50 minutes to go until it’s 2007 for me!
Nokia N95 hitting the UK in January
I don’t like stories about Carrier ABC releasing phone XYZ since I’m expecting all of my loyal readers to be buying unlocked. However this is a special case since the N95 will probably be the most coveted phone for 2007. It’s already launched in Malaysia, and reports say it will hit Taiwan in February 2007.…
S60 Annoyances: The networking stack
This isn’t my annoyance since I don’t use VoIP but it’s PhoneBoy’s, and boy o boy does he know how to rant: Luca reminded me today that I like to push the limits of my devices. I push my phones to their breaking point. My phone bounces between GPRS and WiFi multiple times a day,…
20 New Year’s Resolutions I have for Nokia
The Nokia PC Suite needs to become something we access via a browser, not an application we install. The current implantation is bloat and frankly thanks to technologies today like AJAX and the Symbian port of Apache called Raccoon we should never have to install that program … ever again. Hitachi began mass production of…
Nokia 7390 Video Review
This is what I call elegant, not too bling, but classy. The Vertu collection has yet to make something I would want to carry in my pocket. TechEBlog calls this a preview, but damn does this guy go in depth. My kind of video!Direct link to video Source: TechEBlog Specifications of the 7390 UPDATE: 2.5mm…
Video Review of Calcium: Why aren’t you built in?
The video and audio quality is DECENT at best. Thank my Canon Powershot A510 for that. It’s great at doing photos, never knew it would be this bad at video however. All that aside now, I made a blog post earlier citing that the calculator built into S60v3 is quite bad. The UI is cumbersome.…
