Hot on the heels of the hubbub over the sliding camera cover on the Nokia N97, I’ve received a few tips from Nokia CARE, detailing how to best care for the lens, to prevent scratches from showing up. The scratches appear when debris gets trapped under the sliding cover, which then grinds them against the [...]
Just a few days ago, we brought word that many users were finding that the sliding lens cover on the Nokia N97 was actually scratching the camera glass, destroying itself. While Nokia has not, to my knowledge, released an official response to this major issue, a few enterprising users have come up with their own [...]
It’s no secret that Nokia and the whole N97 team is extremely proud about the N97′s form factor. A huge touchscreen that tilts over a wicked hinge and snaps into place to reveal a full qwerty keyboard: that must be the ultimate design coming from the Finnish factory.

If you watched this week’s Driving With The Guru, you must know that I attended the “Convergence of Mobility and Nokia Internet Strategy” press conference in Lebanon, where the N78 was finally unleashed on the local market, and the new E66 and E71 were officially announced. During the event, I was able to handle all [...]
Around 2 months ago, I decided to sell my old Nokia 3250 as well as my Qtek 9100 in order to get a second hand N95-1. Basically, I got it for around 350$, quite the sum when you’re an unemployed college student. But I knew I would be getting the do-it-all king of handsets. One [...]
