The wireless modem, arguably the most important part in a mobile phone since without it you’d basically have an oddly shaped device that can act as a personal digital assistant and less than stellar camera, has always been one of Nokia’s strongest assets. Say what you will about Nokia’s S30, S40, Symbian, or MeeGo/Maemo devices,…

Expected to be released in early 2011, here is a render and supposed specifications of what’s going to be the Samsung Galaxy S2. The Samsung Galaxy S2 is supposed to be the successor to the Samsung Galaxy S (Vibrant, Epic 4G, Captivate, or Fascinate depending on your operator) that’s only now hitting the market, and…
iTunes hacked; if you have your credit card on file you may be screwed
I’m not going to bother retyping this blog post on The Next Web since it’s crucially important that you just open up iTunes right now, change your password, and if you have a credit card on file … well it would be wise to take it off. Summary: Some Asians hacked iTunes and are buying…
IDC: Nokia could lose their dominant position in Western Europe to Samsung this year
Forget about America for a second, and realize that Europe is where mobile phones took off first. Nokia practically owned the market in the 90s and early 00s, but research recently done by IDC says that the dominance Nokia has been enjoying is in danger of being taken away by them from none other than…
Photo: HTC Vision: Android 2.1, 3.7 inch screen, QWERTY keyboard, 1 GHz
What you’re looking at above is a picture of what is supposedly called the HTC Vision. For all the awesome devices based on Android, none have an amazing QWERTY keyboard. You Motorola Droid/Milestone users need to finally admit to yourselves that the keyboard is horrible. HTC on the other hand is known for making solid…
Anssi Vanjoki: Day One: The fightback starts now
Words. They’re powerful. Very powerful. They can start wars, start relationships, end arguments and bring about a greater understanding to the mysterious world we all inhabit. Hell, I get paid to lay on my couch, slowly sterilizing myself with my too hot to handle laptop rested upon my genitals, and pump out words. With that…
Ultrabrief: Nokia N97, N97 Mini, E71 and E66 received a firmware update
Nokia E71 owners (a lot of you based on my many walks around the capital cities of several European countries), E66 owners, N97 Mini owners, and the poor souls who still call themselves N97 owners, should check for firmware updates. The E71/E66 are now up to version 500.21.009 and includes things such as Ovi Maps…
Symbian-Guru is dead, are there any Nokia advocates left?
Ricky Cadden is one cool cat, and a guy who I consider to be a friend. We both started blogging in November 2006. He had Symbian-Guru.com, and I had RingNokia.com, and while we did go through our initial stage of bitter rivalry, it ended quickly soon after realizing we had a common passion. No, it…
Intel closes office dedicated to promoting WiMAX, yet they still say they support WiMAX [Which is it?]
Intel, co creator of WiMAX, and the biggest supporter of the technology, needs to wake up and smell the coffee. No one wants their technology, and networks are going with LTE for their mobile broadband needs. Does Intel know this, and are they giving up on the technology? According to Digitimes the chip giant is…
Breaking down the MeeGo UI design principles [Mix of Android, iPhone and webOS]
Check it. Nokia started working on a Linux based operating system several years ago. The first product based on that operating system, which Nokia called Maemo, was the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet. Design wise, it’s my favorite of all the tablets ever to come out of Finland. Hardware specification wise, it was a dog. Slow…
