29 Jun 10 Nokia N9: Video leaked?

Hey look whats in the news! Its Nokia N9! Though some say this may be some C series C0 since there is a mark on the top left corner on the prototype shown in the pic and in the video shown below. Well its video shows that the N9 runs on Symbian^3 and has a physical keypad. Though it seems to be similar in design with N8, we have heard that this might be on a little cheaper side on pricing terms! We feel this is truly a Nokia N8 with a physical keypad. Looks like Nokia is trying to experiment on the Nokia N8 looks in different models. The prototype in the video below shows 8.0 MP camera and an HDMI output slot. The keyboard seems large and looks like keys are pretty easy to type.

Also we had previously caught the news on N9 to be featuring MeeGo (woohoo!)  but the video confirms Symbian on it(nooo!). :(

We previously had many leaked pics of this prototypes abut now since the video is out, it looks promising. Lets see what Nokia has in store for its users when it announces N9. In the midst of the MeeGo mania, will this symbian work?

Stay tuned for more updates! ;)

The guys at Negri Electronics have shot this video.

Hackers have managed to install and run Android Froyo on Nokia N900. Before we have seen Android working on Apple’s iPhone 3G.  If Android can work on Apple’s handset then Android’s Froyo working on N900 comes as no big surprise.

It’s not the final build, so some features are not working properly. Cell signal, mounting the SD card, and obtaining an IP address automatically over WiFi don’t quite work now but it will soon be running properly. The video of Android 2.2 Froyo working smartly on Nokia N900 explains it all.

22 Jun 10 Nokia tensed with revenue dip?

Seems like Nokia is really getting tensed up with their revenue charts. With Apple’s iPhone 4 ready to be launched in a week’s time, Nokia has announced its N8 to keep up with its leadership title.

Nokia is expecting its revenues to be lower than expected due to the entrants like Apple’s iPhone 4 and Google’s Android powered phones. Currently, with a 41% of the total market share, Nokia is haunted by the thought of not only maintaining this position but is also worried about losing it. With so many new players coming in, Nokia really needs to boost in order to maintain the market leadership. With Apple and google fighting hard in the smartphone area of the market, Nokia is likely to be pushed down from its 41% market share ladder and if it fails to keep up the pace, then it might even lose its (more…)

24 Oct 09 N900 release pushed to November, Nokia acting on feedback

The Maemo 5 powered Nokia N900 has created quite a buzz, however the launch of the same has been pushed back from October to November for Nokia to act on user feedback received during the pilot testing it did. Some 300 pre production units were given for test purposes and the findings have given Nokia some work before they rollout the device to the masses.

Last I heard about the device was on the first Engadget show where the resistive touchscreen was criticized. Hope Nokia delivers something good in November.
