Seduced by a Review of the Jetset Nokia n93

I thoroughly enjoyed the n93 review by Jason Rowan, freelance writer, photographer, gridskipper, and Gizmodo friend. He one-ups all of us in technoPhiladelphia by testing Nokia’s giant video phone out of the lab. Its 3.2 MP Carl Zeiss lens capture his adventures through Paris to Key West. I’ve never been to Key West, but now…

Low End Theory: Land of Contrasts, and of Calculators

By Brendan I. Koerner Were it not for the magic of ultra-aggressive bargaining, there would be no such thing as low-end electronics in India—at least not for pale-faced tourists such as your humble narrator. I came to this not-so-brilliant conclusion within 24 hours of landing in Delhi, when I decided to spend a recovery day…

Fake Nokia 6639 Cellphone + DSLR: Pentium M, Swiss Army Knife

Nerds have entirely too much time on their hands and have “revealed” the Nokia 6639, a new Nokia cellphone+DSLR (read: it’s fake) that comes equipped with a Swiss army knife, lighter, double megapixel camera and built-in Photoshop.

Rumor: Nokia N97 Smartphone

What you say? A new phone in the Nokia N series? Yes, indeed. This is the N97. It is either a very beautiful phone, or a pretty good Photoshop job. Rumor has it that the N97 will have a 3-inch display, 5-megapixel camera with 20x zoom, miniSD expandability and 20GB of internal memory. I don’t…

Nokia N93 Used To Shoot Entire Music Video

The Nokia N93 cameraphone is so good, Rob Dickinson (former lead singer of Catherine Wheel) used it to shoot the entirety of the music video to his song Oceans. The N93 can take VGA video at 30FPS, which is quality enough for broadcast, and decent enough for a so-so music video. What’s the point of…

Nokia’s Clear Ghetto Blaster Boombox

Without a product like this, what other excuses would you mullet-wearing trendy hipster have for going outside? This clear boombox from Nokia was obviously designed to be showed off.

Nokia Ready to Slip Us Another Tablet?

If the Nokia N95 and 770 were to get it on in some seedy Motel 8, this would be the result of their passionate love-making. The Nokia 330 has the media-friendly features of its N95 father with the sexy thinness of its 770 mother. Though it’s far from being confirmed, the gadget-loving Brits at T3…

Unboxing and First Grope: Nokia E62 QWERTY Moto Q Killer

We wrote about the E62 a little while ago, but in case you’ve forgotten, this is Nokia’s Motorola Q killer. It’s got a bigger screen—2.8 inches—which equates to a slightly bigger handset. It does push email using the Blackberry system, but its EDGE connection feels downright pokey next to the EVDO we see on Verizon’s…
