Update: Thanks to Giacomo’s help we’ve got a better script which takes the phone numbers to block from a text file. Something which I really missed on the N900 was a good call blocking software. After being hounded day after day by credit card sales people and people trying to give me low interest loans, I had to find a way to get this done. A bit of hunting on the web and picking up a...

I just came across this video on twitter which demos a cool software called PhotoTranslator for the Nokia N900, which allows you to translate text from images. Pretty useful if you’re travelling and can’t read those signboards. You can translate from images stored on your phone or even take a photo using the camera and get the application to translate the text in the image. I tried hunting...

Continuing with the N900 reviews, we move on to the crucial bits; the stuff that makes the N900 stand out. As we had mentioned before, the N900 is more a MID with a phone tacked on, than a smartphone. And web browsing is where it excels. It has to be, by far, THE best browsing experience on a mobile phone. And that is made possible due to the connectivity offered by it (apart from the hardware and... 

Desktop As we had mentioned earlier, we received the N900 to test out from WOM World Nokia. Having used it for a little while now, we thought we’d give you an introduction to setting up and running the phone. We will be going through an initial time setup, basic contacts and calender setup, email, Nokia Messaging and IM setup, etc. Basic Setup: Once you boot up the phone for the first time, you’ll... 

When you get the N900 out of the box, the LED indicator has the same blue color blink for most notifications on your phone. Missed calls, SMS, IM and Email all blink blue. Did you know you can have different colors for each of these notifications? You’ll need to get your hands dirty with some terminal work to get this done. Even though this procedure is quite safe, editing the file we have to... 

We received an N900, courtesy WOM World Nokia a week back, and we’ve been putting it through its paces since then.  The N900 is the first Nokia Smartphone that uses the Maemo OS, which has been used so far on their tablets. It is still more of a tablet, with a phone thrown in. In case you didn’t already know, here are some of the specifications of the N900: Display – 3.5 inch resistive...

Brandon Roberts, the person responsible for this hack has described his efforts as “Its more proof of concept, but its real and it could be spectacular ”. Can’t wait to see how far he goes down this path. Imagine a Nokia phone paired with the Google App Market! via Endgadget and @androidtalk  Read More →
