Google Nexus One vs Nokia N900 Hardware Photos and First Impressions
In case you’ve been living under a rock, the Google Nexus One was announced, available for purchase, and shipped at the same time just a couple of days ago. Mine was just delivered and the first thing I wanted to do is compare it in size with Nokia’s own super-phone, the Nokia N900. Take a look.
Vlog: Nokia N97 With Synchronized Contacts Using Google Sync
I told you about Google Sync with push contacts and calendar on May. I really love how I can edit my phonebook and be able to access or edit it online with any computer. You have to see it in action to really appreciate this FREE feature. Take a look.
Google Sync Now With Push Calendar and Contacts on Nokia Phones
Setting up Google Sync on my Nokia 5800 after reading the announcement on Wednesday made me very happy! Whatever I edit or add on my phone’s calendar or contacts automatically show up within minutes in my computer. This works from computer to phone as well. Since the data is stored by Google, it is also accessible from any computer I use with internet connection. The best thing about this is I don’t need to manually sync each time I make any changes. Thanks Google!

I previously talked about using SpinVox to read my voicemails, but since I use a lot of Google’s products anyway, why not try the new Google Voice as well?

Tip: Search on Google Maps Then Navigate on Nokia Maps
I get frustrated whenever Nokia Maps cannot find places I search for. I end up opening Google Maps instead which finds them every time, but it doesn’t have turn-by-turn voice navigation that I want from Nokia Maps. I’m glad that the two apps share bookmarks or favorite places to fix that problem.
Walking With Google Maps Satellite View In Central Park
Last weekend, Sheila and I walked around Central Park with the help of satellite view on Google Maps installed on the Nokia N95 8GB. It helped us find the fountain that you see at the beginning of Friends TV show.
Google Found the Seven Dwarfs on the Nokia N95
Google released a search application for S60 last month and it has been very useful. I just press the pencil button on the Nokia N95 home screen, then a Google search form shows up ready for my query. Let me tell you how it helped me and my classmates remember the names of the seven dwarfs.
