Last August, I, along with a few other bloggers, was invited to London for Nokia’s Go Play event. This was a massive ‘product launch’ (if you can call it that) where they dropped the Ovi bomb, as well as the new Nokia Music Store, demo’d the Nokia Music Player, a new desktop application that was [...]
I’m sure Nokia has already figured out how they’re going to market the Nokia N81, and I’m also sure it doesn’t include the US. Call it a hunch. With this assumption, here’s how I would market the Nokia N81 in the US. Let’s make sure the specs are covered, real quick. It’s a small slider [...]
Everyone seems to be in a big fervor over the 5 second display of what’s been dubbed as "Nokia’s iPhone." All the Apple Fanboys are obviously in an uproar over the notion that Nokia had the juevos to copy their overlord god chosen brand. As was pointed out by Stefan (and I heard it, too), [...]
So one thing that hasn’t gotten too much attention at the Nokia: Go Play event is the emergence of my new favorite band EVER: Pop4Real. These guys really know how to lay down the tunes, and I’m not joking. Their new number one hit single, N81, simply rocks my face off. I’ve got the ringtone [...]
You didn’t think I’d sit here and praise EVERYTHING Nokia did yesterday, did you? Of course not. So my big question is, how come everyone’s calling it a "launch"?

I was going to answer in the comments of my previous post, but it ended up being too long, so now it’s a post. I’ve closed comments on that post, please continue the discussion here. I want to talk about the focus of the Nokia Music Store. I know people are upset at the DRM. [...]
We’ve all got the deets, but I was able to spend nearly half an hour with one of the guys in charge of the project to really get an idea of what’s going on with this. It’s going to be incredible. In fact, when it was first being announced, Rafe Bladford from AllAboutSymbian leaned over [...]
What an exciting past few days! First off, a BIG thanks to the gang at WOM World for allowing me to be a part of the event. Any bloggers reading this, if you get invited to anything with them, don’t ask questions, just go. Trust me. It’ll be worth it. Second, apologies to my readers [...]
You can always count on your Symbian Guru to bring you the information that matters. When everyone else is reporting on the specs that I reported on back in May, I’m bringing you actual screenshots of Handy Taskman running on the N81 and N95 8GB. Was it a pain? Yes. I had to distract the [...]
