Nokia Booklet 3G Unboxing
Hey, it’s not a netbook! I’ve got the brand new Nokia Booklet 3G for AT&T in hand and it’s not hard to see that it’s a beauty. The chassis is made from a single piece of machined aluminum, weighs only 2.76 lbs, and .78 inch thin. If it didn’t have a Nokia branding on it, I would have thought it was a mini Apple Macbook. I’m working on the review right now, but here’s some unboxing photos to whet your appetite.
Hands on the Nokia Booklet 3G for AT&T USA
On Monday I met up with a few Nokia folks for some time with the Nokia Booklet 3G for AT&T in the US. We bowled afterwards too, but I won’t tell you how bad I scored. Instead, I’ll give you an overview of the Booklet, thanks to Nokia’s Joe Gallo who didn’t mind getting in front of camera for our blog readers.
Nokia N97 mini Unboxing
I got my hands on a retail version of the Nokia N97 mini and will be providing a thorough review of this device soon. For now, enjoy some of the unboxing photos. It’s already available in certain regions, so check your local Nokia shop.
Hahlo is an Awesome Twitter (Web) App on the Nokia N900
I’ve been using Dabr on the Nokia N900 for my Twitter needs, but I stumbled upon a better web app called Hahlo. There’s no need to download anything since it’s accessible through the web browser. I’m surprised at the features it offers like auto-refresh, inline photos, inline replies, tweets near me, OAuth login, and more.
Nokia N900 Review
The Nokia N900 was just announced that it started shipping on Tuesday. I’ve been using a pre-production version for a month now and just updated to the production firmware (1.2009.42-11). I’ll edit this review when I get my hands on a production hardware model and notice any difference. Want to know what I think in one sentence? I like the Nokia N900, but Nokia still has a lot of work to do.
App Review: Opera Mobile 10 beta on Nokia N97
Opera Mobile 10 beta just came out for Symbian S60 3rd and 5th edition devices. I installed it on the Nokia N97 right away and shot it on video to show you how it looks. It’s a nice alternate browser, but prepare for occasional headaches because it’s still in beta.
Nokia N900 Preview of Qik
You probably already know that Qik lets you stream video live from your phone. In case you need a reminder, I met the cofounder, Bhaskar Roy, at the Nokia N900 NYC meetup and asked him to give The Nokia Blog viewers a demo. Take a look.
App Review: Vlingo on Nokia n97
Vlingo came pre-installed on the Nokia N97′s firmware 2.0 and I’m surprised at how well it works. You can use ordinary language to instantly send a text or an email message, call a friend, create a note, update your Facebook or search the web simply by saying what you want. I’ve included a video of while trying it out.
Review: Simple Brightness Applet for Nokia N900
I’ve been checking the Maemo Downloads site and found this cool little applet called Simple Brightness for the Nokia N900. It adds an option to the top control panel that lets you quickly adjust the screen brightness. I made a video to show you how it looks.
Nokia N900 Review of Email
Email is a very important feature for me and it works pretty well on the Nokia N900… for the most part. I’ll show you how it looks on the pre-production Nokia N900 from setup, to reading the inbox, replying, and creating emails. In this post, I use my Nokia Messaging account to push my emails from Gmail.
