It was the best of phones – it was the worst of phones…
I want to start this review by saying three things:
I got this phone for free – thanks Nokia!
I’m an extremely demanding mobile user. I recognise that I am an edge-case; what I find annoying, you may not.
I’ve tried to stick to actual …
Stephen Fry has recently recorded a BBC podcast about the history of the mobile phone.
It’s a really great series, and I encourage you to listen to it.
At one point in episode 4, Stephen sings the Nokia ringtone.
So, here it is for your edification, and delight.
Feel free to set it as your …
Nokia’s marketing team are idiots. They’ve used URL over which they have no control on an advert for one of their premium handsets.
This is the story of how I hijacked stole hacked recycled it and, in doing so, prevented Nokia from having a serious PR problem.

This is advert for the new Nokia …
There’s a delightful video doing the rounds of an Augmented Reality game for the iPhone. What better use of technology than to simulate the destruction of TIE Fighters?

While undoubtedly cool, what amuses me about this game is why it has taken the gaming world so long to catch up with Symbian! Way …
Three failures and one giant lost opportunity
Failure 1 – Targeting
This version of the Tesco shopping app is only available on Nokia phones. Nothing wrong with that – Nokia are still the biggest phone seller on the planet. So why allow the advert to be shown to Android users?
It will annoy users, reduce …
I’ve mentioned Nokia on here a few times. For a mobile focused company, they seem to have a real problem with mobile advertising.
It starts well enough with an animated GIF.
The site it links to is http://music.nokia.co.uk/ – cleverly, Nokia redirect mobile users to a specific mobile version of the site. That’s where it all …
Sauntering down Oxford Street, Mauricio Reyes spotted Nokia’s secret Android plans.
Is this just a hapless Photoshop mistake – or a sign of things to come?!?!?!?!
It’s a daft graphic designer – obviously. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t take the possibility of Nokia devices running Android seriously. Oh, don’t get me wrong, Nokia …
ARRRRRGGGGHHHH!
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Due to a crazy taxi driver (are there any other kind) and a violent swerve, my BlackBerry Bold 9000 is no more. Bereft of life, it rusts in pieces, and other such Pythonesque metaphors.
Arse. I truly feel like I’m missing an extension to my body. There’s a symbiotic relationship which develops …
Ahhh…. Nokia. Remember them? Once upon a time they were a global power-house. But now, with BlackBerry, iPhone and Android nipping at their heels, they are a shadow of their former self. I mean, Nokia “only” have a market share of 38% – and they “only” sold 108 million devices …
I know a thing or two about mobile websites. The last 4 years of my life have been spent obsessing over them. I wouldn’t claim that the sites I run are the best in the world – but I’ve picked up a thing or two about how a successful mobile retail channel should work.
Nokia’s …
I try so hard to like Nokia. Their hardware is second to none – but when it comes to software and services, they haven’t got a clue.
They’ve just announced a new app store – Ovi Store. This is to replace the broken mess that is Mosh, N-Gage, Download and the current Ovi. Why do …
