This morning, obviously full of holiday spirit, Nokia saw fit to release new firmware updates for two of its older phones, the Nokia N95 and the Nokia N82! There isn’t an official changelog as of yet, though I would imagine you’ll find several new Ovi services preinstalled, if other new firmware updates are anything to [...]
It’s the new year, and that means a whole new set of Mobile with the Guru. I took a few weeks off, what with Christmas and the New Year and all, but we’re back in action, ready to see what 2009 has in store for the mobile industry. We start off this year recording with [...]
Just as the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show is kicking off in Las Vegas, Nevada, Nokia reminds the U.S. that it loves Europe more, by releasing yet another firmware update for the N95-1. This firmware, v31.0.017, makes the N95-3′s current v20.2.011 look positively ancient. The new N95-1 firmware should be available through NSU for all generic [...]
Next up in our look at the Nokia N85 is the camera. As you know, the base camera is the same 5 megapixel autofocus module with the Carl Zeiss optics, though there are a few key aspects that are improved. Among the improvements are a Dual-LED flash, built-in geotagging, and a manual lens cover. Compared [...]
So, I’ve been out here for a few days now, spending today trekking around San Francisco, CA, till 7p tonite. With the arsenal of phones that I’ve brought, I’m sure you’re wondering what pieces of my kit I’ve found to be mandatory, and what’s turned out to be better left at home. To be quite [...]
So, for 2 years we’ve all hooed and hawed about the lack of US 3G S60-powered handsets. Nokia obviously listened, and today we have a somewhat decent selection of S60 smartphones that are able to take advantage of the only HSDPA network in the U.S. big enough to matter to more than one city. What’s [...]
Happy weekend, now go buy your N95-3. The popular handset, which launched somewhere above $500, is now down to the $399 mark at Amazon.com. For an HSDPA handset with a 5 megapixel autofocus camera, WiFi, and built-in GPS receiver, that’s pretty hard to beat. I’ve been using my N95-3 since I bought it in December, [...]
One of the things that makes S60 so great is the ability to customize, down to the main menu, how your phone looks. I’ve already given you a peek into my Crap folder, to see all the various apps and icons that S60 throws at you that I find completely useless or redundant. I also [...]
As you know, I’ve been using the Nokia E90 for a few weeks now, as I wanted to check out the Eseries flagship versus the Nseries flagship (I still believe that the N95 is the Nseries flagship, even over the N82). You’ve already read about the things that I love and the things that I [...]
