NokiaN96.net is here to follow the main and most important activity around Nokia N96 Mobile Phone, but we are also here to follow the main and the most important events here in the net. With this intution we are following what the guys of DailyBlogTips that made the blog RSSDay, to comemorate the RSS appearence.

If you don’t know what is RSS, better, If you don’t subscibe our RSS or any RSS, please read the definition below:

“RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a format used to deliver information from websites and pages that get updated regularly. An RSS document (which is called feed) contains either a summary or the full content from a website.

The main benefit of RSS is that it enables people to stay connected with their favorite websites without having to visit them. Once you subscribe to a particular RSS feed, you will automatically receive updates from the website that publishes the feed, whenever they release new content.”

We are here to spread the word of this program as we think it is interesting to promote RSS feeding all around the world and to tell you you should do the same. You know, RSS means connection beteween the 5 corners of the Word, Portuguese, British, American, Chinese….all reading the same news, the same post, the same article. This is GLOBALIZATION.

You also can help spreading the word. Check here how to.

We added a little box, 125×125 in the website as well.

Nokia N96 official release date

We had a close talk with someone inside Nokia, and we got a confirmation on the launch date! The best thing is that it’s not one device being officially launched, it’s three, and that should be the minimum.

Nokia usually launches them in fours, ironic, as this digit is considered bad luck in some countries.

Dangerous websites selling Nokia N96

April 10, 2008 by  
Filed under Hands-on, Nokia, Review

Have you ever thought how could a system like google checkout, ebay and other websites fail with their costumers? Probably not at all. Although now we have an example prove that Google Checkout is failing in this subject.

Because, one thing is a pre-order, and another is an engineous spammer trying just to making money, without having a real Nokia N96 mobile phone. Some of those spammers, also have pre-orders. And this is the worst case and the most dangerous going on the net. Because, we will regist that pre-order, and we will wait more than 6 moths to the Nokia N96 official release. Passing so many time, the guys who sold us the mobile phone can say that their company gone on bankrupt or they simply can close the website. Google or ebay, those can’t do anything, because of the time passed.

Other thing they normally do is selling a thing related to nokia n96, a website, some head phones, etc. The customer is attracted from the NOKIA N96 letters and simply make an order.

What I am trying to say (is my “poor” English”) is that you must have double precaution. Nokia N96 will come and buying one day before or one day later will not make any difference. Anyway, if you want to register a pre-order, do that, but with a Nokia recognized website.

Look at this print screen, from Google Shopping. This are all pre-orders. The website have good ratings from the customers, but you will just see Nokia N96 on the release that, or after it.

google shopping pre orders

As I said, at google shopping there are also spammers, and lots of them. Check the sellers right here and try to find who is an engineous spammer and who is an honest seller.

This example is one of a seller who is saying that he has Nokia N96 by 300$. Well, the official value will be more than 700$. So, be careful and in any case buy in this one.

The N96 experience

Alfredo Padilla was at CTIA reporting for WirelessInfo, and had a chance to show us how the N96 behaved.

He spoke about the multimedia features, as well as the cosmetics and appearance of the phone. To add up he detailed the specifications.

Nokia N96 doesn’t have two LED flashes. It has 4, and plus 2 Argon flashes, which make you forget about Xenon.

And to demonstrate how strong the flash is, we got presented with two pictures under dark conditions:

Dr Jukka interviewed – Nokia and Symbian uncovered

April 1, 2008 by  
Filed under Nokia, S60, Symbian

Today I am interviewing Dr Jukka Silvennoinen, Senior Technology expert from Forum Nokia, a Certified Nokia Trainer, and a guest lecturer at a university in Thailand. Dr Jukka is known for his extensive contribution to the Symbian community and, of course to Forum Nokia. Dr Jukka is also admired by many Symbian programmers, and he was one of the founding members of Forum Nokia Champions reward program. It is my great honour to interview him, and I’m sure the world’s cell phone community is eager to read what this talented programmer has to say.

Dr Jukka, I thank you once again for accepting my invitation, and I thank the Nokia Press department as well for this opportunity. First of all, I would like to ask you some questions close to your heart, of a personal matter:

What was the first phone you ever had?

It was Ericsson GH 198, my first and last non-Nokia device.

When did you buy the above-mentioned phone, and what price did you pay for it?

I bought it in August 1994. It did cost around 7-800 Euros, I would have wanted to buy Nokia 2110 back then, but it was probably some 300 Euros more expensive.

This was odd news, and I’m not sure if he does, but for some reason I don’t believe it. Check the video below, where he was interviewed by some bloggers, including my colleague Norman John at Symbian World. The magic question is in somewhere in the middle of the interview, but please let me know if you think it is the upcoming jewel or not.
