Here are some shots of the N900 with some current high end phones. In Alphabetical Order: Apple iPhone BlackBerry Bold/Storm 2, Nokia N97 Mini/N86/5800/E71, Palm Pre, Samsung i8910/Omnia II, Sony Ericsson Satio/Aino and Toshiba TG01 Initially the intention was to give a jist of the size of the N900. But since I was snapping away in phone retail stores, I didn’t get appropriate angle shots so you can see how easy it is to be deceived by comparison photos unless you see them flat, centre and horizontal with comparisons of [layered] length, width and thickness. www.sizeasy.com/ helps if you want to compare phone sizes and you’ve got their dimension.

This morning WOMWorld kindly sent over the Nokia N900! Much excitement aside, I won’t be writing much in this post; I’ll leave the video and photos to speak for themselves. Hopefully you’ll be on a broadband connection as there’s tons of live pics of the N900, the box contents as well as an unboxing video shot in HD. P.S. All photos captured by the Nokia N82 (Digicam way too memory hungry and it’s so much more  convenient to bluetooth pics over to my pc).

…The Nokia N900 has arrived at my house. Well maybe. I haven’t opened the DHL bag yet and won’t open it until I get home after lectures. I want the first time the N900 box is opened to be on film, ha. It may possibly be that there’s just a box inside, maybe even a mixup and it’s not an N900, heaven forbid! I literally have seconds to go before I have to leave for “Muscle Development in Drosophila melanogaster 2″

Received this email half an hour ago. It didn’t actually sink in till I was halfway through cooking a shepherds pie [from scratch, not microwave] and I was like “um, an N900 is coming tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” email from WOMWorld ^_^ Happy Days ^_^ Let’s just hope I don’t miss this DHL delivery this time . I’ve got lectures/meetings during their normal delivery times again :’( If (IF!) I get it tomorrow, expect an unboxing video from youtube.com/mynokiablog and a bunch of N900 photos soon

Carphone Warehouse have once again suspended sales of a high end Symbian Smartphone – a few months ago, Nokia’s flagship N97 (well at least with O2, Orange and Vodafone still sell the N97 via CPW), now Sony Ericsson’s Satio. Why? Both from complaints about buggy software leading to inexorably high levels of returns that CPW (and now Phones4U with the Satio) would rather stop selling faulty phones than have to deal with repairs

At the onedotzero event, I remember trying to get the N900 to crash with low memory errors or slow down. I couldn’t. MySymbian proves this in the video below where the N900 is pushed to multitask all available apps. Where most others would have frozen, crashed or killed other applications to open a new one, the N900 juggles one new app after another without breaking into a sweat. Whilst on the move, being able to handle several tasks simultaneously and quickly switch to the application at hand should be part definition of Smartphone.

After an initially positive view of the N900 over at the Telegraph , Claudine and some guy (Alan Carr?) as supposed “Gadget Inspectors” take a look at the Nokia N900. To see the video, you’ll want to head over to the Telegraph. Some interesting points: Whilst Claudine isn’t a fan of the physical QWERTY keyboard + touch screen hybrid, the guy (what is his name? I’ll refer to him as ‘the guy’) likes them.

About a month ago, through a series of clues, some bloggers found out about maemoproject . You most likely have already seen the video below: Today I received an A2 poster from WOMWorld which is a screenshot of a scene in the video: 10:15:52:08. It would have gotten here 2 days ago except there were some delivery hitches (mostly my fault as I wasn’t home to pick it up) It’s not your bog-standard paper poster – it’s all plastic, laminated and quite thick.

Nokia today release three new CDMA phones, which are Nokia 6316s, Nokia 3806, and Nokia 1506, in Beijing, the capital city of China. These new Nokia phones are not as sexy looking as China’s Michael Jackson phone; in fact, they look very dull and old. However, Nokia seems like very confident that these new phones will sell in China, the electronics manufacturing hub for the world. “Nokia is boosting its leadership in the CDMA market by updating an already strong line-up with products that appeal to a wide range of customer needs,” said David Tang, Vice President of Nokia China. “Of these devices, the Nokia 6316s is bringing exciting 3G services to life for users in China,” added Mr Tang

This episode by Steve Litchfield reviews Nokia’s N97 mini. The mini is the baby brother of the original N97, (seemingly) created to rectify to abysmal mistakes when Nokia succumed yet again poor compromises which rendered the original N97 somewhat ever so frustrating in general day to day use. There are several positive notes that Steve makes, contrasting even the first Review of the mini by Mobile-Review’s Eldar and giving the keyboard a thumbs up.

Video Review: Nokia N97 Mini Review – The Phones Show – Episode 94

Nokia have released a couple of ads about getting to the “Good Things” using Ovi Maps. If you check it out, you’ll see some fancy holographic UI looking elements. It looks really cool! I know it’s merely there to just label and describe what’s happening but I’m actually finding it a little annoying to see this pretend “UI” looking so much better than the actual interface of the phone itself. How awesome would it be if Symbian looked any where close to that! Not so much the holographic part, but the animation, speed and appearance of the contextual information.

In addition to the standard black N97 mini, it will also be coming, not just in white, but in garnet red. Let’s hope the white N97 mini doesn’t fall prey to the same quality issues (light leakage, paint chipping, staining, poorer quality keyboard) that the original white N97 did. ( see this post about my previous troubles with the white N97 )

I don’t know how much you can extrapolate from this in terms of Nokia being popular with 7 out of the top 10 sold cases being for a Nokia, but Swedish phone case manufacturer Krusell reports that of the phone specific cases: (1) Apple iPhone 3G (2) Nokia 5800 XpressMusic (-) HTC Touch HD (5) Nokia 3109/3110 Evolve (9) Nokia 6700 (10) Samsung B2100 (3) Nokia N97 (4) Nokia 6303 Classic (6) Nokia E51 (7) Nokia 6300/6300i/6301 (last month position) According to Cellular-News, “Krusell’s list is uniq­ue due to the fact that it reflects the sales of phones on six continents and in more than 50 countries around the globe.” Or are Nokia users just a bit more of a phone-case/Krussel fan?

In this video interview, UK celebrity, high profile tech personality and self confessed mac evangelist, Stephen Fry talks briefly about smartphones. Fry: “It’s a shame for dear old Symbian which has not kept up with the times at all, and Sony Ericsson and Nokia are revealling themselves giants as they were to be so behind the curve in this department they may suffer as a result” Interviewer: It’s a shame, I love my Nokia Fry: MMMM! Interviewer: A car run over mine Fry: “We all owed so much to Nokia. I mean, they sort of set the standard to so much that we came to expect from…I remember when the move to GSM came, and Nokia suddenly were really innovating all the time and just proves the endless truth that you can’t sit still in this business” I’m not sure when this video was taken, but it was at least on or before 22nd October (check out other clips in the series).

Of all the technology blogs and news sites I read, the ones I find most intruiging are those that are intended for the general, non-tech-geeky masses. Why? Though there’s no nitty gritty info, I like knowing how information on the gadgets that fascinate us have trickled down to the non-geek public. It’s from these sources that are really going both influence and reflect what people are actually thinking about that device.

Wanted to check out the Nokia N97 in and out from the day it was launched. Its a flagship touch screen device running the Symbian S60 5th Edition OS and is the big brother of the Nokia 5800. Thanks to the guys from WOM World, I finally got the Nokia N97 to play around with. The device which i have got is loaded with Firmware 2.0 that was released by Nokia in October 2009. As promised the upgrade looks promising and there is kinetic scrolling but not as great as the iPhone (but feature wise it beats the iPhone left, right and center).

As well as a Nokia N900 advert, this could also be a Nokia N97/N97 mini advert based on how the Motorola Droid is supposed to be “better” than the iPhone. Real Keyboard Running Simultaneous apps (N900 multitasks like no other) Customizable 5MP camera Flash for night photos Removable battery Runs widgets on homescreen Allows open development Heck, this could have been about a lot of phones. (I’m aware of the differences between the Moto Droid and N900 – but based on the iDon’t video, Verizon’s ad could be talking about either) The original As much as comparisons will be made highlighting the improved hardware advantages of phone X over the iPhone, none of it will ever actually matter until someone makes a phone that’s much more usable/user friendly than the iPhone itself.
