Nokia N8: Nokia's make or break

admin — Mon, 03 May 2010 20:35:22 +0000

There is no doubt the Nokia N8 will be a very important device for Nokia, but not because of its specs and what it will bring to the smartphone market, not even because of Symbian^3, but because it will be Nokia's opportunity to prove that they really can deliver when they set their mind to it. As such, it is arguably the most important device Nokia has ever released to date.

Nokia E72: bugs, long term impressions and conclusions

admin — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 20:38:11 +0000

As I wrote a while back now, a firmware update was provided by Nokia for the E72, which was available to me only a few days later and which I then immediately installed.

I have used the phone now for several weeks with the updated firmware, and I think that I can safely draw some definitive conclusions not only about the bugs that I reported here and the firmware update, but also provide some overall impressions of the E72.

Did Apple just make a Foleo?

I have just looked at Apple's presentation of the iPad and am genuinely surprised, and disappointed by Apple's new "revolutionary" and "awesome" product. It reminds me of Palm's Foleo in more than one way.

What's wrong with Palm?

The Palm Pre was released over 6 months ago now, yet Palm still doesn't sell unlocked Pres on their website. Instead, their only goal seem to be to hook up and sell their phones with only one carrier, and ignore the rest of the potential market (read: "the rest of the planet").

What would it take for me to buy an iPhone?

Those of you who have read some of my other posts probably know at this point that I am not very impressed by the iPhone in its current incarnation. But what would it take for me to actually consider buying an iPhone?

During my trip to Madrid, Spain, I had the chance to play around with the Palm Pre for a while (yes, I try out phones even on my vacation if given the opportunity!), and here are some of the impressions I was left with.

Firmware update for the Nokia E72

admin — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 18:48:55 +0000

As many of you probably know, Nokia released a firmware update for the E72 this week, going from version 21.024 to 22.007. I have not been able to install the new version since it is not available for my region yet. But I did some searching and found a couple of persons claiming that they had noticed some improvement with Bluetooth headsets, though they did not seem overly excited either, which could indicate that the issue is far from resolved.

As soon as I get my hands on that update, and I am checking for it daily, I'll install it and test the BT performance.

UPDATE:
I have now reported on the update provided by Nokia.

A new year, a new decade, and new devices

admin — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 15:22:09 +0000

So after a loooong holiday break it is nice to be back again!

During these past weeks there have been plenty of rumors, news and even THAT launch we all saw coming based on the many leaks prior to it, so there will be a lot of stuff to cover. In other words, great circumstances to start a new year, and a new decade for us mobile geeks!
