Nokia N97 Mobile Computing Giveaway Winner
Thanks everyone for over 200 submissions in the Nokia N97 Giveaway. It was a hard decision, but we now have our winner! Congratulations to ChrisStobbs from Youtube who posted a very funny and informative video response. I still can’t stop laughing at his Nokia N97 cardboard costume with slider. Check it out.
Nokia Booklet 3G Packaging Photos
It’s not a netbook, according to Nokia. It’s a mini-laptop! These packaging photos give you a preview of unboxing your own if you decide to spend the 575 Euro suggested price. It’s not exactly an unboxing because the accessories and manual weren’t in the box when I took the photos.
Preview How to: Autofocus on Nokia E72
The Nokia E72 isn’t out yet, but I’ve got to play with a pre-production model during the Mobile Geeks of NY meetup. It is the update to the E71, whose camera I absolutely hate. The camera app was the first thing I checked on the E72 and I was surprised to see a new autofocus system. Check out the video.
GSM Palm Pre Announced – Threat to Nokia N900?
News of the GSM Palm Pre releasing in October broke out today and I’m wondering if this affects your buying decision for the Nokia N900? The Palm Pre w/ SIM slot will support UMTS/HSDPA Bands 850/1900/2100, meaning European and US 3G on AT&T. No announcements for a Nokia N900 variant supporting AT&T 3G has been made yet.
Nokia N900 1-Minute Multitasking Demo
I asked Chanse Arrington, Product Manager of Multimedia at Nokia North America, to show me the Nokia N900 in about a minute and this is what we came up with. You can see how multitasking is done on this Maemo device. I have to say I’m loving the N900 more each time I see it!
How Nokia Stands Against the 2009 Standard
I did a rant about Nokia going off course. It was also the last time I wrote a post on this blog, I’ve been drawing blanks on what to write for some time. But after nearly a year has passed, what kind of changes have we seen? Lets explore what new things have been introduced and how they stand against the 2009 standard.
Nokia N900 Price Drops to $582.99 on Amazon
The Nokia N900 has only been on Amazon for a few days, but that doesn’t stop the online superstore from lowering the price already. It started at $649, dropped to $589, and now for preorder at $583. I can’t find it anywhere else for a lower price.
