Plagues of N97...

nobody@vox.com(Breathless) — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 06:53:48 +0100

...even with v20 firmware, there's a small pile of things that just drive me mad on a daily, common-usage basis. Not much, really, but nonetheless annoying. First, which is very much obvious, is the graphics/UI, so I'm only gonna say this much: c...

N97 firmware v20, the most obvious parts.

nobody@vox.com(Breathless) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 09:36:58 +0100

After a while, I finally got to writing about this too. Not a bad thing, the time-lapse, I mean, in the meantime I've gathered real-life experience using the new firmware. I'll try not to go back to general issues that plague the phone (you can re...

Overhyped & disappointing games - pt 2

nobody@vox.com(Breathless) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 07:56:09 +0100

Let's see, what games I can remember it as being overhyped and/or disappointing. Mirror's Edge: that's got to be the first on my list. (Not a particular order, mind you, just like in the sense of "first-one-to-come-to-my-mind".) Gamer community's...

Overhyped & disappointing games - pt 1

nobody@vox.com(Breathless) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:14:25 +0100

Came upon this little article via WindowsGamer. Well, let's see... Halo 3 ... um, it's definitely overhyped. I mean, too frackin' much media, really. Disappointing? Wouldn't really know...no consoles whatsoever, so never played it. Thinking of it...

20 games in 2010 ...and then some.

I came upon this article on Twitter, and after reading it, I couldn't help wanting to add my $.02, so here ya go. Postal 3 - um, not too much, I mean, I didn't even meet the first two renditions, so yeah. APB - haven't heard of it, but the descri...

Early morning musings

nobody@vox.com(Breathless) — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 09:51:18 +0200

Well, not that much early anymore, and these things have been on my mind for a while now, but still...I got to them just now. Why do I love my N97? That's right, when I put the stupidity of the creation of and the issues that taint this device as...

Crapple.

Article is here. I'm sorry, but I can't be bothered to register on techradar just for one comment, so here are my $.02 on the highlights. "In doing that Apple has been able to carve out a small, but growing niche for itself as a premium computer ...

N97 firmware v2.0 - my rendition

nobody@vox.com(Breathless) — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 08:40:09 +0200

So, I've been thinking about the many aspects of my N97, compared to other top-end devices on the market, for like a week now, at least. The echo that the news of the new firmware generated, is freakin' huge, in my opinion, bigger the smoke than t...

N97 gallery app

nobody@vox.com(Breathless) — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 08:51:34 +0200

I've already mentioned how appalling it is that the Photos/Videos apps on the N97 have a simple flat panel appearance, and that the Photos app actually displays videos too. One can live with that, I guess, but here's another thing I just stumbled ...

N97 firmware v2.0

nobody@vox.com(Breathless) — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 07:05:30 +0200

...or v20.0.005 as it is in this here video: It shows/mentions some new stuffs that might be nice, however, it should be more like a v1.5, definitely not a v2.0. Let's see why. Kinetic scrolling. Okay, great feature, yay for that. However, it sh...
