Innovations RSS FeedLike rolling stone (well, dice…)
April 24th, 2009
Now for a little bit of Friday fun! The very smiley Kalle from Creabros has put together a nifty little app that uses the accelerometer feature to roll a dice on your 5800 (or N97). As Kalle says ‘it’s not very useful but maybe somebody will get kicks out of it’! Hey, if you need to roll dice, and you have no dice, well… you could do worse.
Check out the video, or head over to Creabros Oy for more details!

Handy 5800 accessory
January 12th, 2009
Aaron from theN82blog has got his hands on a 5800 XpressMusic, but it’s not the handset that has caught his attention (for this post at least) but one of the accessories in the box.
The DT-29 is ‘like taking out the N96’s kickstand’, and Aaron has put it to use with lots of different devices.
Have you utilised the DT-29 with any of your devices? Jump over and let Aaron know.

More N97 reaction
December 2nd, 2008
Since its announcement this morning, the space has been buzzing with reaction and opinion on the N97.
atmasphere has posted on his blog that the device will be the new flagship, and that the home screen is more of a ‘widget-top’ which can be wiped clean by swiping your finger. He praises a QWERTY on an Nseries device, hailing this as the ‘single unit that can handle everything’.
On the Symbian Guru forum, Dotsisx has called the announcement ‘phenomenal’ and lists the ‘firsts’ that the N97 has – first Nseries QWERTY, first Nseries touchscreen and first Nokia device with 32GB built in memory. She too is excited about the ‘customizable homescreen’, and the touch capabilities feature highly in her praise too.
What do you think from what you have read? Does this device address your wish list? Jump through either link and let people know what you’re thinking.

Nokia N97 introduced - ‘5800 on steroids’
December 2nd, 2008
Launched in the last few minutes at Nokia World, the Nokia N97 pulls together all the features that have been asked for by voices in the space.
With a large (640×360 pixel, 16 million color) touchscreen that has tactile feedback, a slide out QWERTY keyboard and a screen that tilts to 35 degrees (using a clicking hinge), the N97 pulls together aspects of other devices in Nokia’s range. The device also contains a high quality built in Carl Zeiss camera, 30 fps DVD quality video, A-GPS and accelerometer much as you would expect from a high end device, but will also contain 64 GB 32GB of memory with 16GB card slot .
Already out in the space, Eric Zeman from PhoneScoop has some images of the device, which looks like a prototype (the handset presented was silver in color, but this version is black). He shares his hands on thoughts (calling it the ‘5800 on steroids’), so head over and have a look, ask any questions you might have, and leave your thoughts.

A marriage made in heaven?
November 27th, 2008
Dusan has shared his view of the future and it seems his ideal device would have the features of both the E and N series.
Either an Nseries with a full keyboard, or an Eseries with a high end Carl Zeiss camera with a touchscreen being a ‘plus’, this device would pack the very best from all previous Nokia releases. Dusan is wondering whether Nokia will get there first, or whether they’ll be beaten to it by a competitor.
What is your vision of the mobile future? Is there anything further to what Dusan says? Leave him a comment with your ideas.

Better box experience please, Nokia – users speak
November 19th, 2008
Darla Mack, the Mobile Diva, has voiced an opinion that is held by other major players, that of the ‘out of box’ device experience not quite being what it should be (she refers to her N96, but it could apply across the board).
She lists a few things that could be done to help users - a welcome card urging new owners to register their device, which once done introduces new services such as Ovi to the user. She’d also like to see the manufacturer citing pages and forums giving users hints and tips on how to fine tune their device. Ricky Cadden has chipped in on the comment stream mentioning a simple ‘Quick S60’ guide for newcomers.
What would you like to see in a device’s box? Any ideas to ease the user experience? Head over and join in the comments.
