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…
Nokia X6 32GB gets the V20 firmware
I’m not sure I understand why it took so much for Nokia to release the firmware update for the 32GB version of the X6 (when we know the X6 16GB got the same firmware update in April). Whatever the reason behind this strange move is (which effectively made the X6 32GB buyers suckers), the good…
Idea: It’s time Nokia adopts WVGA screens for their high-end phones!
Let me repeat that once again – it’s time Nokia adopts WVGA (800×480 pixels) screens for their high-end phones! nHD, which is 640×360 pixels, is just not enough.

Nokia is still the world’s largest smartphone seller by a wide margin but the company is often considered behind Apple and Google in the mobile space. The company is often ignored in the tech press because of its minuscule presence in the United States but it’s not just regional bias, as Nokia has also been…
Nokia pokes fun at the iPhone 4 reception issue by highlighting the only thing they still do right
The iPhone 4 has a bit of a problem if you hold it with your left hand. You go from full bars, to no bars, and it’s caused by Apple thinking up the concept of making the antenna the actual frame of the device. Problem with this is when you touch two points of the…

Not so long ago we mentioned that TELUS announced the Nokia E72. From what we know thus far, the device is slated for a July 11th release, but we’ll wait to see for ourselves. These rumored launch dates sometimes have a way of changing on us. We’ve also heard some new pricing information. At first,…

That said, the Finnish company has issued a number of announcements for developers. Here’s what they got:…
Nokia 5230 in Black Now Available at Mobilicity
The Nokia 5230 has been making the mobile news in Canada recently. Not necessarily for any awesome reason in particular, but because new color variations keep popping up. About a week ago I told you about WIND Mobile and how they launched the 5230 in white back in April, only to follow it up recently…
