Watch Nokia World Live!

Nokiaworldwebcast2011

Not going to Nokia World? Luckily you can follow all the action right at home in your pajamas. This is a quick post reminding everyone that you can watch the entire event at http://events.nokia.com/nokiaworld/ with the usual exciting product launches and new services. The keynotes start at 9AM (UK Time) on October the 26th (That’s tomorrow!), so if you’re not in Europe you’ll probably be in those pajamas. Do bookmark that link as the event continues on the 27th. It’s all about the devices right? In typical Nokia World fashion these will surely be unveiled tomorrow instead of the 27th.

Personally I’m looking forward to that Nokia Lumia 800, but also some new accessories and maybe even some surprises!

Nokia World 2010 Here We Come!

NokiaWorldinvite

Today I  heard the great news that I’’ll be attending Nokia World 2010, thanks to our friends at WOMWorld/Nokia! If you’re a Nokia fan, Nokia World is THE place to be, that one event held once a year showcasing the latest and greatest from Nokia. Basically all the devices and services you’d want to have and use right after the show.

The event will be held at the ICC London ExCeL in London on the 14 and 15 of September. Expect great coverage from The Nokia Guide, as we’ll ask all the questions, take lots of pictures, get information on the latest devices, services and applications and try to sneak in an interview or two.

Who can you expect to see in London?

1.Leading up to Nokia World 2010, WOMWorld/Nokia and several other bloggers and Nokia enthusiasts have put together a meet up to be held at WOMWorld/Nokia (1000Heads) HQ (44 Great Windmill Street, London,W1D 7NB)  on the 13th of September between 3pm and 7pm. An updated list of attendees can be found here.

2.The OVI Blog also held a competition, where 3 winners were chosen and now a total of 6 winners will join us in London.

3.The WOMWorld/Nokia team

4.Several Nokia Bloggers like @MarkGuim from TheNokiaBlog, @Nirave from mobile-users.net, @worldofnokia (Dan) from Worldofnokia.co.uk, @MichaelxHell from Fonearena.com, @MickyFin from Nokiausers.net/ NokiaDNA.com, @v4ibhav from thehandheldblog.com,  just to name a few. (Contact me to update the list)

SO there you go, two great events in one very short time frame. Who else is attending Nokia World this year?

Remember to send in your questions or things you’d like us to cover at Nokia World 2010! See you there.

#N97minitrunk The Story Challenge 4: “Snake”

Gaming on the N97 mini is easy, but gaming on the #N97minitrunk is not. Not only does it lack power, but the lack of QWERTY keyboard and directional buttons make things a bit difficult. Thankfully it’s loaded with goodies that made gaming on a large scale possible. Only problem is that it did require lots of energy to play a simple game of Snake. Next time I’m sticking to the N97 mini.

Earlier parts of the story can be found here: Unboxing, Challenge 1, Challenge 2 and Challenge 3.

Challenge 3

Pimpfinal

Both mini and the trunk showed Denirah that here music listening habits were more 1940s than 2010. With the press of the multi-tasking button she got the gear to match the year: N97 mini and full wireless sound with the BH-905. Denirah, your sound has officially been pimped!

Move over Stavros, there’s a  new guy, err…new girl in town and her name is Denirah! And she will be creating the SECOND greatest work of art EVER!

Position art is created by moving while tracking your GPS location. This is the story of how we created our Position Art.

#N97minitrunk Challenges: Introduction

20100423_001 

No, it’s not the attack of the giant N97 mini, but close. Thanks to our friends @WOMWorldNokia I received the biggest mobile box I’ve ever seen! And inside this giant box a Nokia N97 mini and a lot of goodies for another crazy and fun challenge. The E75 was the subject of the previous Teach the Technophobe: Challenge, but this time it’s the N97 mini’s turn in this #N97minitrunk Challenge. Who else to help me with this challenge, but Denirah, from the previous challenge.

The idea is to complete the 5 tasks using a red disposable camera with just 27 shots to capture the moments using the giant N97 mini trunk. Using the included photo album, we have to create the best “N97mini trunk album.” The winning team wins 2 N97 minis.
