With the current dollar to euro exchange rate there was no point in me spending any money on electronic equipment in Finland. Low and behold I’m in the US for the next 2 and a half weeks and I took it upon myself to get an 8GB microSD card for my Nokia N82 since I…
Brief: Nokia N95 8GB North American Edition: 100% Confirmed
Fellow Nokia/S60 blogger friend of mine Mark Guim who writes at The Nokia Blog is also a reseller. He called his dealer to see if this N95 8GB NAM is legit and he can confirm it is. If he’s saying it’s true then I have no doubt in my mind it is. Now if someone…
Brief: 2 color variants, Black and White, of the Nokia N82 to be released
“Maevro” from Howard Forums works for Mobile City Online, the same people who started taking preorders for the Nokia N95 8GB North American Edition, and in a recent forum post confirmed that there will be a Black Nokia N82 and a white N82. There will NOT be a USA N82, at least he doesn’t have…
Irony: Warner to sell DRM free music via Amazon, yet still not selling via Nokia’s DRM Music Store
Earlier this year we learned that Warner decided to revoke their collection from Nokia’s Music Store due to the fact that users of MOSH, Nokia’s weird attempt at centralized mobile P2P, were exchanging copywritten [sic] content. Now Amazon publishes a press release today (Gizmodo) that states Warner is going to be selling their music without…
Nokia N95 8GB North American Edition to be announced at 3GSM?
Is the Nokia N95 8GB going to get the USA treatment? Looks like Mobile City Online is offering the 8GB for preorder with a ship date of February 15, 2008. I strongly recommend American’s buy the current N95-3 and an 8GB microSD card instead of this model, but who am I kidding, the 8GB is…
Video: Go Gadget for Windows Mobile is impressive
Go Gadget for Windows Mobile (and soon to be J2ME) is an application that turns your device into a Vista SideShow device. SideShow is Microsoft’s way of giving you remote access to your PC via small applications which can do a variety of thing. Watch this demo to see why I’m certainly impressed. If Microsoft…
Why Nokia needs to get off their ass and make a solar charger for the emerging markets
Just read this snippet of news on textually titled “Villagers walk 20 kms to charge mobile phones” and it just made me shake my head in dismay. Someone needs to do something to give these people power where the only infrastructure these people know is the cellular network. All this talk of being a green…
Brief: Megapixel Madness
I get a lot of emails asking me if Nokia’s next flagship will have 6, 7 or 8 megapixels and when I tell people that the number is irrelevant they like to call me silly little names. When you get a chance read this article called Megapixel Madness and find out why that is. It…
Video: Nokia 8800 Arte unboxing in Italian
Beautiful language going through the experience of unboxing a beautiful phone. Close to 10 minutes long: Specifications here, price is over 1000 euros, it should be out now. Notice how it has Widsets installed by default? Way to go Widsets team!
Brief: Motorola ROKR E8 passes the FCC hurdle
The ROKR E8 has one trick up its sleeve, the buttons change depending on what application you’re currently running. It doesn’t have a touch screen, it doesn’t have a fancy camera, it runs Motorola’s poor Linux implementation, but at least it has a 3.5 mm headphone jack which is worth a lot of points in…
