On Wednesday or Thursday I’m going to publish a review of not only the N82, but the N95 8 GB and plain old N95. I’m doing this because you can’t really understand what the N82 is without looking at its history. At the same time the forums I visit are filled with people bickering about…
Review and Contest: Handy Taskman, what little Handy Application would you like to see?
Until 3 weeks ago the first application I would install on all my S60 devices was GMail. How convenient that little Java application is can not be put into words. I don’t remember what my motivation to trial out HandyTaskman was, but the ensuing love affair since then can no longer remain silent. I heart…
Former Nokia CEO Jorma Ollila investing in Finnish ecommerce startup Fruugo
Don’t know who Jorma is? He was the man who basically decided to take Nokia from a company who did everything from rubber boots, phones, cables, televisions, etc, into an international corporation that is presently the leader in mobile phones. To say he did a lot would be an understatement. Curiously he invested in a…
Brief: Nokia and Touch: What do we know about the next version of S60?

Kylie Minogue’s latest album to be released exclusively on Nokia’s Music Store

Curiously I wondered if it managed to leak and find its way onto…
Video: The Nokia N82 was supposed to have a naviwheel

One of them was naviwheel support, the other was USB charging. Here is an official Nokia video that indeed shows the naviwheel being used to rotate the…

Video: Nokia singing about Web 2.0
TechCrunch found a video Nokia just put up about Web 2.0 that is quite interesting to say the least. They talk about Facebook, Youtube, and … I’m not going to spoil it, just watch below. The comments on his blog echo what is going on inside my head: Wow that was really horrible. that was…
Brief: I reassure you, the Nokia N82 supports microSDHC
Forum Nokia has the technical specifications of the N82 listed incorrectly, saying that the maximum memory capacity supported is only 2 GB. I received about 15 emails today asking me to confirm that typo and ladies and gentlemen I’m here to offer you peace of mind. Here is my Nokia N82 with my SanDisk 4…
What are other people around the net saying about the N81?
My Nokia N81 review upset quite a lot of people, but I look at it as a learning experiance for Nokia. I essentially blasted the device for being over priced, under featured and having shady build quality. Now I hope you don’t read my reviews like they are scriptures from the holiest of holy books.…
