Eingetaucht: Nokia Deep Dive

Apr 17

Posted by Michael Hell in Nokia, Personal, Symbian, Trip, zfeatured | No Comments

Da ich hier auf dem Thoughts from Hell Blog ohnehin in sehr unregelmässigen Abständen poste, und alle meine Tech Posts in englischer Sprache auf www.fonearena.com/blog zu finden sind, kann ich doch meinen Recap-Post genau so gut hier machen, und das noch dazu auf Deutsch! Ha!

Anyways, ich möchte hier zuerst mal meine Liebe zu Nokia Österreich bekunden. Einer der Gründe warum Nokia immer einen Platz im Geek-Herzen hatte, ist der toller Support gegenüber Bloggern wie mir. Klar, wir reinen Mobile-Blogger sind in good ol’ Austria rar gesät, trotzdem ist es schön dass Nokia Österreich uns immer wieder gerne unter die Arme greift. Am Donnerstag war es wieder einmal soweit, Nokia Österreich hat die üblichen Verdächtigen wie Roman von S60inside, meinen guten Freund Markus von der Wiener Softwarefirma Calista, mich selbst, und einige andere Blogger und Software-Entwickler (in Fachkreisen auch Developer genannt) nach Wien eingeladen um uns beim Nokia Deep Dive eine Vorschau auf das demnächst kommende Symbian Anna zu geben, und uns unsere technikgeilen Finger auf die neu vorgestellten Smartphones Nokia X7 und E6 legen zu lassen!

Dear Falter Writers: Nokia N8? No Time for Homework?

Sep 25

Posted by Michael Hell in Nokia, zfeatured | 2 Comments

Just got this Picture from a good Friend of mine. What you see is a picture of the latest “Falter” Newspaper, showing a little Article about the Nokia N8. What I’m struggling with, is the Picture of the “S-Class of Smartphones”. So THIS is the Nokia N8? I had no Idea! What the hell did i have in Hands then?!

Dear Writers of Falter: If you don’t have the Time/Motivation to publish correct Articles in your “Tech” Section, better leave it. THIS is the Nokia N8, just in case someone tricks you again!

Not at Nokia World, still fancy a Meet-up with a Ton of Bloggers?

Aug 25

Posted by Michael Hell in Nokia, Trip, zfeatured | 3 Comments

As you might know by now, me and a bunch of bloggers from all over the World will be in London next month for Nokia World 2010! Since we know that Nokia won’t go with our “ye giant meetup” plans, my friend Micky Aldridge, of Nokia Users and NokiaDNA fame, immediately suggested to do a little meetup. Said and done, and thanks to the ever awesome People of WOM World Nokia / 1000 Heads we had a location ready. Drinks and Snacks will be served by the Team as well, which is truly appreciated.

So if you can’t make it to Nokia World, but are in or around london at the time, make sure to drop by and say hello. have a relaxed chat with us about tech, phones, or just say hello! There are a ton of bloggers on the Micky’s list already, so if you wanna have a great evening with Micky, Dan from World of Nokia, Rafe of AAS, Nirave or myself, pop over to NokiaDNA for all details, times and more!

OMG! Nokia N8-00 in the Works!?

Mar 23

Posted by Michael Hell in Nokia, zfeatured | 4 Comments

A gigantic Picture just hit Twitter a few Minutes ago, and what i see made me drool all over my Keyboard instantly: It seems like Nokia is preparing a Photo Flagship, and according to some Rumors, it might be called the N8-00. What’s the Camera like? Well, have a Look below, cause this Picture just appeared!

True? Or maybe Fake after all!? It looks very real to me, but I don’t know any Facts, so this will just stay another Rumor until Nokia announces it! :)

Sexiest Nokia Device? – Here’s my Picks!

Mar 13

Posted by Michael Hell in Nokia, zfeatured | 3 Comments

My Friends over at WOM World Nokia has asked for the sexiest Nokia Device out there, after a Post on another Blog from a Guy called Lloyd. Chris (WOM World) has already shared his Picks with the Winner being the Nokia 8800 Saphire Arte. Not a bad Pick, Bro! :) How to let them know your Choices?

“So WHY isn’t there a definitive list revealing what is – undisputedly – the World’s Sexiest Nokia? It’s a great injustice… and one that’s about to change.

A recent post by Lloyd at Lloyd’s Blog gave us the idea, after he discussed the merits of the ‘a little bit sexy’ E75.

It’s on!

We want YOU to reveal your top three sexiest Nokias. In return, we will collate your answers and reveal the top ten – in a countdown format of course – next week.

You can get involved by posting your response on your website and sending the link to us via Twitter – or you can simply Tweet us your entries @Womworldnokia. Make sure you tell us the reasoning behind the choices too, and we’ll feature the pick of your comments.

Whichever way you choose to enter, make sure you use the hashtag #SexiestNokia to ensure your entry becomes part of the conversation.”

Now, I’ve been thinking a bit and I came up with my own Picks. I also considered non-symbian Devices, and no Matter how old they are. S40, S60, Maemo, no matter what, if the Device looks great! Here we go:

3. – Nokia E72:


My Trial Device until Monday, which I’m currently reviewing over at Fonearena.com. Really hot Device, hottest Symbian Device out there. I love black Phones, i i love stainless Steel and i love Chrome Parts. This in Combination make a great Combination, which i like even more than the E71. The Hardware Quality may not be as great as mentioned E71, but in general it’s a superb Device and I’d definitely prefer this over the E71! A 5 Megapixel Cam for really good Shots, brilliant Keyboards and only a few Downers add some more Goodness to the Device.

2. Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte:

I’ve never been a Friend of the 8800 Series, as the Devices are made of great Materials but have absolutely nothing in Terms of Spec or Software that can attract me. However, i can’t deny that i love the Carbon Parts on the 8800 Carbon Arte and it’s an Eyecatcher. I saw this Device only in January in the Nokia Flagship Store in London and i drooled all over it. The Pricing is out of my League, but it’s still a Device that has amazing Looks!

1. Nokia 8600 Luna

The absolute hottest Nokia Device in my Opinion is shown right above here – the Nokia 8600 Luna. This Device is, similar to the 8800 Carbon Arte, totally out of my Price League and there is no Way I’d use one as my Main Phone – however, we speak about Design here and this is where the 8600 Luna scores for me, big Time. Black stainless Steel, the smoked Glass Cover, which show a Glimpse of the Buttons even when closed and a fantastic feel/look Experience (according to Reviews, I’ve never seen this Device in the Wild) are making this the absolute sexiest Device for me out there! :)
