Re: Going to Mexico...

Skype still works, but Gizmo5 is gone. They were bought up by Google and their servers were finally pulled earlier this year, around April 2011.

Re: A few Nokia 770 questions

I'm not familiar with the term "GM tool". Please define.

The main Achilles' heel with the N770 is that, either due to an N-wifi nearby or too many wifi hotspots, the N770 won't list /any/...

Re: Elops oh s**t moment for Meego

If Nokia doesn't have the resources to maintain 3 OS's, then yes, they need to choose something to drop. WP7 and Android wouldn't require the same OS resources as Symbian and MeeGo, as they're being...

Re: Elops oh s**t moment for Meego

Unless Nokia can expect MS to inject more money over time, there's no revenue growth from this decision. The cash is like a band aid, not long term thinking.

Re: Elops oh s**t moment for Meego

How's this for a conspiracy theory:

2. Elop says Nokia is a "dead man walking" company. Elop announces WM7 adoption. Elop kills existing Nokia development,...

Secure sites no longer work

N770 with OS2007HE

Having problems logging into secure sites, like https://mail.google.com. Can't log onto bank sites either.

Google, Skype, Gizmo5 work.

Ideas?

Thanks!

From the blog, it sounds like Nokia just wants its phone back, which in turn, they could use to discover the inside source. It doesn't sound like they're going after Eldar or his blog, though as a...

Re: Nokia N900 Counter-Arguments for Complaints

Can it be said that, whether it be the N770, N800, N810 or N900, Nokia has built very capable hardware that's yet to realize its full potential because Nokia keeps switching software gears every year?
