Mark Guim — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 02:44:19 +0000

Finnish geek Toni Nikkanen shared on video that it’s possible to put Mac OS X 10.3 on the Nokia N900, although uselessly slow. It took 2 hours to boot up! I don’t know about you, but I’m not patient enough to use an old OS not built for a mobile device. Nevertheless, the project was [...]

Renegade Fanboy — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 01:39:16 +0000

There is a jar next to my Mac, so far with 62 euros, waiting for Nokia to grab it from me somewhere around April. I’m confident that I’ll raise the money for the Nokia N97 – but is Nokia confident that it will be able to separate me from my 550 EUR? Contrary to Mark’s [...]

You’ll never catch me wearing the bulky and ugly Nokia BH-604 bluetooth headset outside, but I’m pretty happy using it indoors as a wireless headphone. It was sent to me as a prize for the S60 Smarts Contest. Let me give you an example how useful it is. Sheila was really sleepy, but I was [...]

Review: Adobe Elements 6 Complements Cameraphones

Ninong Brown — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 05:30:43 +0000

I know it’s a bit off topic, but I recently purchased Adobe’s new Elements for my Mac. However, I think a review is appropriate. Possessing a cameraphone like the Nokia N95 or the Nokia N82 that can take 5 megapixel pictures and not having a decent program to correct some of the “faults”, either by [...]

The Nokia N82 firmware was updated today to version 11.0.117.
