Mobile World Congress, previously known as 3GSM, is one of the largest mobile exhibition that takes place in February of each year, in Barcelona, Spain. All the usual suspects are there, all device manufacturers and platform developers, and many many other. As you must have deduced from the title, Nokia will be there, as well [...]
I like this. I like it when other companies compete with Nokia, cause competition is always good for me, the consumer. Plus it gives me something to write about. Another 3GSM announcement that’s leaked out is LG’s new KS10. It’s a disappointment in the radio department, but other than that, it’s still someone other than [...]
A new blog I’ve recently found, atmasphere I endeavors, has a pretty good in-depth video of the new Smart2Go Nokia Maps app. He also gives a great read for a quick walkthrough on the app.
Yet another video from Phil of S60, this time it’s a little more in focus, and it’s about tuning his S60 device. Tune My S60 is apparently standard fare at any trade show that S60 goes to, it’s a touchscreen station that allows you to download (more accurately, send an sms with a download link) [...]
Yet another post on S60v3 FP2, sorry, but this one’s good. Mobile-Review got their hands on the 6290 at 3GSM running S60v3 FP2 (quick note, the retail version of the 6290 will only have FP1. They created an FP2 version for demo purposes). They have plenty of fantastic screenshots of most of the new features, [...]
Phil Schwarzmann over at the See Into S60 blog has a quick video of the new Feature Pack 2 interface. He shot it with his N93, and admits that it’s pretty blurry. In any case, it still gives a good view of some of the animations and whatnot. I really, REALLY like the "melting" animation [...]
Yet another 3GSM announcement that I love to read about. Texas Instruments (they make chips for Nokia, fyi) demoed their OMAP3430 processor, which is the first in their OMAP 3 series and has support for all kinds of crazy stuff. Currently it only supports up to 1024*768 (XGA) through composite or S-Video, but with the [...]
Sandisk today announced the 4GB MicroSD HC, doubling the current capacity of the popular MicroSD card. The sad news, though, is that the "HC" (high capacity) moniker means it’s not currently compatible with most phones on the market. But wait, there’s more. In AllAboutSymbian’s report on this, they state that engineering kits are going out, [...]
Stefan over at RingNokia.com has gotten his hands on a nice little video of the E90 Communicator in action: Click To Play Does anyone else notice when they close the phone with something on the screen, there’s a considerable lag before it shows up correctly on the front screen? I realize this is a proto, [...]
