LG: what's wrong with this picture?

by James Whatley 31st January 2010

Around London of late, LG has been rolling out some rather large adverts for its latest low-to-mid range device – the catchily-named LG GD510. The first time I saw the ad, I chuckled, brushed it off and moved on. The second time I saw it, I was with company and asked out loud; “Look! What’s [...]

From N95, to E75 and beyond. Where next?

by Vikki Chowney 29th January 2010

Here we are again; I find myself deliberating which phone to move on to next. Post-E71 meltdown last year (RIP), I took a step backwards and reverted to my trusty N95 8GB. All was well, as I truly believe that it’s best content creator out there for a blogger. I loved being able to take [...]

YouTube user ‘bdogg64‘ Brandon Roberts has posted this first (as far as  I know) footage of an N900 being hacked to dual boot Maemo and Android.  The Android install is far from usable yet, but it works… Perhaps I will – one day – be able to satisfy my love for Android and my desire [...]

Nokia's Ovi Maps: All new, all routing and all free

by Ben Smith 21st January 2010

Well, it wasn’t an Ovi Store announcement. Nokia’s big announcement this morning was an all-new version of Ovi maps – available now for 10 devices including N97 mini, X6, E72 and 5800 – which has been re-written to be the ‘best personal navigation device in the world’.  All maps, voice-guided turn-by-turn navigation (driving and walking) [...]

Today's the day… 'Big' Ovi Event

by Ben Smith 21st January 2010

We’ll be there…  Nokia have invited us to their big Ovi announcement. Lips are unusually tightly sealed but the message is consistent – Nokia see this as a big announcement. It seems they may have forgiven (or at least laughed-off) the whole Hannah Montana thing… If I had to make a guess right now my [...]
