Take a look at the images below, they’re advertising bills posted in New York City. Do they sound like they’re alluding to something more than the Nokia N-Series phones being customizable? Well, they should. Nokia’s launched their “Open to anything” ad-campaign in response to Apple’s recent iPhone update v1.1.1. As you’ll remember, the update basically…
Quake now running on Nokia N800!
Quake and Nokia 770/N800 fans, here’s something for you. Apparently, it’s possible to install Quake on your beloved Internet Tablet device. The process doesn’t seem that straightforward, but I’m sure true first-person-shooter addicts will find their way around and soon start spending their time playing the good ol’ Quake.

Who wants a Nokia 6280 with 36X zoom and Nikon SLR optics?

Confirmed: Next Nokia Internet Tablet to have a keyboard (and GPS)
Thoughtfix just shot me an IM, he has been reading the FCC documents for the next generation Internet Tablet and has found a really wicked page. “Slide closed” and “Slide open,” what could that mean? We recently found out it has GPS and now with a keyboard I’m sooo buying this.
How serious is Nokia about using social media to take the next step?
Nokia is doing an absolutely fantastic job using the power of the internet to promote their products. I’ve had the pleasure of partying it up with their word of mouth marketing team in London at the Go Play event, having a few beers with the Multimedia eMarketing Manager here in Helsinki and more recently I’ve…
All black Nokia N93i spotted
Again, it’s Maximus who spotted the all black Nokia N93i “multimedia computer.” The black version looks way more serious and masculine than the original N93i, although I still have my N93 and loving it.
