Nokia Booklet 3G. Finnish goodish netbookish

September 25, 2009

If Nokia weren’t so, well, downright Finnish and cute – and, to be fair, exceptionally good at what they do – we’d be tempted to greet the announcement of the Nokia Booklet 3G with nothing but ridicule and shouts of ‘BACK IN YOUR BOX YOU MONEY GRABBING ****S, HAVEN’T YOU GOT ENOUGH MONEY?’
However, Nokia being [...]

Nokia N900. Sunshine, lollipops and…

September 22, 2009

Cynicism… grumbling… insults about the ‘youth’… insults about overweight people.. more grumbling… more insults about the ‘youth’… cynicism…
that’s what you’d normally expect from us, right? These are the major themes, topics and general sentiments that you’d expect whatever the handset, whatever the announcement, whatever the news. Well, today, with the N900, you can rest happily [...]

Nokia 5230. Saucy

September 21, 2009

Touchscreens, hmmm? It seems like only 18 months ago they were all like, ooohhh, look at me, I’m a touchscreen, you want to touch me don’t you, mmm, yeah, you want to press my bits and slide your sweaty digits over my responsive interface, yeah, oohhhh, you cheeky monster you, but you can’t afford me, [...]

Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition. And the answer is…

September 10, 2009

Here’s a question for you. If you’re product is fantastic, really truly brilliant in almost all ways – the way it played music, the connectivity, the incredible new feature that gives you a lifetime license for the turn-by-turn and voice-guided navigation software that you’re really proud of – but, but but but, had one little [...]

Nokia N97 mini. checkcheckcheck

September 8, 2009

D-pad on the keyboard scrapped? Check
0.3 inches shaved off the screen size? Check
Internal storage reduced (though microSD-replacability almost entire)? Check
Some other minor things gone on that are so minor we can’t even be bothered listing them? Check, check, check…
So, it seems like there’s less reasons to be mildly, if even barely, if even at [...]

Nokia N900 coming to a store near you soon

September 3, 2009

Just when we thought that Nokia had done it with the N97, they have come up with something even better. Ladies and gentlemen I present to you the Nokia N900. This is a true iPhone killer as the video below clearly demonstrates. If you are looking for a phone that is an internet tablet and [...]

Nokia 6760 Slide. Yoofberry

August 17, 2009

Adults have cars, kids have bicycles.
Adults have mortgages, kids have pocket money.
Adults have affairs, kids have crushes.
And now, adults have Blackberries, and the kids can (soon) have the Nokia 6760 slide. Because, without meaning to be too derogatory, the 6760 is just that: a Blackberry for kids (meaning ‘youth’, down with da kids kind of [...]

Nokia 3720 Classic. Beer proof

August 14, 2009

Any phone that comes with a big fat screw that you need to unscrew to get into the thing is clearly something impressive and that’s just what you’ll find with your Nokia 3720 Classic. That’s because the 3720 is just about the hard-as-nails-est phone you can currently buy, and it’s an absolute cracker to boot. [...]

Nokia 6710 Navigator. Andrex in your hands

August 3, 2009

Without meaning to… no, scrap that. With every intention to do so, we want to hurt the feelings of Nokia. Because in the Nokia 6710 they’ve made a very, very decent phone. About the best, in fact, in terms of mapping and navigation, that you can currently buy. All well and good, you think. However, [...]

Nokia 6700. Strip lights not included.

July 16, 2009

A few years ago, people started putting ultraviolet strip lights under their cars. Ford Escorts, initially. Then those pimped up Renault 5’s, for a while. Fair enough, we thought. Each to their own. Who are we to try and stop someone doing something the equivalent of tattooing “I’m a stinking **** and you never, ever [...]
