Two days for N96 to release!

Yes it’s only two more days before the Nokia N96 releases to the market. As I said previously, this should be the final media release, which means that in few weeks it will hit the markets. It only depends on national regulators, networks, and logistics on the date of release to the public, all retailers usually differ.

Stay tuned to our upcoming review. For now you can appreciate Mobile-Review’s Eldar’s review.

NokiaN96.net at “RSS Day” – 1st May

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.

N96, N78, N82 Black release date confirmed! – exclusive

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

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.

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.

Nokia N96 reviewed in english!

Eldar has had his mega-review of the upcoming jewel translated, of which in a previous post I chose my favourites shots.

 

I will present my views on the phone by the weekend, but I leave you with an excerpt of the interesting article:

”

Interestingly, over a year ago Nokia started to enhance its product portfolio not only by varying styles, but also hardware platform underpinning their solutions. The Nokia N95 and its follow-ups built upon the TI OMAP chip, while the N96 takes advantage of STMicroelectronics’s Nomadik. So when comparing these two phones, their similarities don’t go beyond physical aspects, since other things, like functionality and hardware, are quite different.

Is the N96 a mass-market solution? No. Then, is it heavily specialized, aiming at one particular niche? No. It is rather somewhere in between. This phone will see moderate sales, although the fuss around it will easily shadow its modest numbers.”

The Problem was Adtool Peel Away Ads

We were recently facing some problems in opening our webpage from Internet Explorer 7. We though the problem was related to the server and it was corrected. But, today morning I saw the error appearing again in my Internet explorer window (i don’t use regularly IE), so it was saying this:

“IE cannot open nokian96.net/…”

But the problem wasn’t related to nokian96.net page, but Adtool Peel Away ads, that are something like a second page included in the main.

 

I think now it is everything ok, as we removed Adtool Ads.

We also like to say to all for you that our Alexa Rank changed, we are now at 752.780 place.

Custódio, from Oportunidades de Dinheiro,a portuguese blog about money, recommended some new contact forms. So, we added them to this blog. Check this one:

S60 3rd edition Feature Pack 2 fully reviewed!

Eldar Murtazin from Mobile-Review has had his mega-review of the S60 3rd edition Feature Pack 2, part of Symbian OS9.3, translated.For those of us who didn’t understand the original review, we can now enjoy the English words that so well describe the upcoming platform. Eldar used a Nokia N78 to derive screenshots and opinions. Surely the model must have been a test prototype, so we can expect changes on the release firmware.

The pictures I had posted on a past article, you can read the text here, but if you prefer to check the full review, please head over to the source.
