Vlog: No Lens Cover Eventually Leads To Scratches
I thought the people who complained about missing lens cover on the Nokia N95’s were a bunch of crybabies until I took a closer look at the Nokia N95 8GB I’ve been using. No protection on the lens eventually leads to scratches. However, this is a review unit that’s been passed along other people. There’s no way of knowing if the previous owner put the phone in the same pocket with his/her keys.
Vlog: Calcium Is A Must Have S60 App
If you haven’t heard of it yet, my video demonstration of Calcium will show you how much better it is than the built-in calculator in our S60-powered phones like the Nokia N82 used in the video. It is fast, easy to use, and free to install on your phone. Calcium should be one of the first applications you install on your phone. Check out the beginning of many more videos I’ll be making to show useful applications we can install on our Nokia phones.
Vlog: What Nokia/S60 Browser Needs to Steal From Opera Mini and iPhone’s Browser
I’m not a big fan of Opera Mini, but it’s got something the built-in S60 web browser doesn’t. After pressing dot in the address bar, a drop down shows up with auto completion of .com, .org, and .net. The iPhone’s browser even have a dedicated “.com” button. Come on Nokia/S60, those extra 7 keypresses in the address bar needs to be eliminated. Check out my video to see what I mean.
An Evening With WOM World Nokia: Open to Anything LA
I spent Tuesday Night at the Skybar in Long Beach, CA. WOM World Nokia invited me and other Nokia/tech/photo enthusiasts from the Los Angeles area to celebrate the opening of the new Open to Anything website. Take a look at some videos and pictures for a recap.
Vlog: Built-in Auto Rotation On The Nokia N95 8GB (N95-2)
The updated firmware version 20.0.016 for the Nokia N95 8GB (N95-2) came with built-in auto rotation. This is a video I made after the update. The option was not turned on by default, so you can see where to find it to turn it on. I think it’s great and wish the feature comes on the other variations of the Nokia N95.
Live Vlog: Stream Live and Talk To Your Viewers With the Nokia Nseries
We’ve praised Qik several times here at the Nokia blog, and here’s yet another Qik post. On my way home, I started streaming live while driving and noticed a question popped out in my screen. I replied and a short live conversation proceeded! This is a feature that not many phones are capable of.
Vlog: Path of Buddhas From The Nokia N95 8GB
I created a short video for Flickr now that they decided to add Flickr video service. They limit clips to only 90 seconds, but I think it’s a great idea so they don’t stray away from what makes them a great photo sharing community. This clip is from my Chuang Yen Monastery trip showing the view while walking towards the temple. This was taken with the North American Nokia N95 8GB (N95-4).
Vlog: The Speed of Dark
As we all know, the speed of light in a vacuum is 299,792,458 metres per second (as per wiki, lol). Well, have you ever wondered what the speed of dark is? Probably not, it’s not the most common thing to pop into one’s head. Well, I’ve actually got the speed for you, and believe it or not, it was captured with my Nokia N95-NAM! Go DARK after the jump
First Hike With The Nokia N95: Castle Rock Unique Area
I’m currently taking a hiking class and will be hiking every Sunday until May. I have the Nokia N95 NAM with me to record the hike, stream live videos, and take geotagged pictures. The first hike was in Castle Rock Unique Area in Philipstown, NY, which is about an hour and a half north of New York City.
Vlog: Helio 3G Billboard Spotted in Flushing, NY
Apparently, the Helio Ocean has been popping up on billboards across the greater NYC area promoting it’s 3G capabilities. Hmmm… it seems to me that using 3G on a phone these days are old. See more about Mark and my video opinion on Helio after the black hole.
