In the first part of my look at the Nokia World 2008 event, I mentioned that it was a triple success story, the first one being Nokia finally deciding to release important products during their own event, the second being the Nokia Events page that makes it easy for people across the world to follow [...]
Whenever I travel, I use different tools than I would at home, and I think that many of you travel with your mobile devices, and thus, would be interested to know what tools I’m using. For the trip to Nokia World, in Barcelona, Spain, I knew I’d need some pre-paid connectivity, as well as a [...]
This is the last in our video footage of Nokia World 2008, which took place last week in Barcelona, Spain. In addition to the Nokia N97 and Home Music, Nokia announced a few accessories, including the DC-11 battery pack and the CS-10 ‘Internet Stick’ (really a USB 3G modem). The DC-11 is a really sexy [...]
Wow, I’m not sure how I missed this, but the Nokia E71 was apparently shown off in red and black at Nokia World 2008 last week! These two color schemes, previously unseen or announced, were captured by Eduardo at E71blog.com and Dave at Gizmag.com, apparently. The two new color schemes are confirmed as coming soon, [...]
Last week at Nokia World 2008, I had the extreme good luck to bump into Zeemote’s VP of Sales and Business Development, and was able to get a great video demo of their Zeemote JS1 Bluetooth Controller, which we’ve talked about here at Symbian-Guru before. Upon discovering that I did not have a JS1 to [...]
We typically don’t report on S40-powered phones here at Symbian-Guru.com because, well, they’re not Symbian. However, there’s a really cool feature on the 7610 Supernova that I wanted to highlight, hopefully it’s something that’ll come to the Nseries really soon. I had actually gotten my own video, but the Nokia Conversations blog got one in [...]
No Nokia event is complete without a Nokia Party, and Nokia World 2008 was no exception. This year, the shindig featured a ‘Comes With Music’ theme, and was held at Razzmatazz, in Barcelona, Spain. There were three different rooms, each with its own stage and musical act, including a beat boxer, the Nokia House band, [...]
Let me preface this by saying that, aside from the need for a Windows-based plugin, the online portion of Nokia’s new Maps v3.0 on Ovi is really pretty cool. The site is smooth, uses my Nokia/Ovi account, and it’s pretty. However, the device experience of Nokia Maps v3.0 is a complete and utter fail, in [...]
Last week at the Nokia World 2008 event in Barcelona, Spain, I was able to get a video demonstration of Nokia’s new Point & Find technology, which is expected to hit the Beta Labs soon, for all S60-powered phones. Point & Find allows you to point your cameraphone at something and receive relevant links and [...]
