Nokia World 2009 news from Stuttgart
 

which is the biggest news: the nokia entering the computer market with its Booklet 3G or the N900 first Maemo phone, or the cheap Symbian touch devices XM5230 and XM5530 which with GPS and touch have a very competitive price of euro 149?

Can you guys update us with some videos or some text info from Stuttgart?

Re: Nokia World 2009 news from Stuttgart
 

http://maemo.org/community/council/nokia_world_2009/

Videos will be a big ask (1: I don't like hearing - or seeing myself - natch; 2: editing and publishing is a lot of work)

Text: definitely. Both in this thread and - more easily (assuming there's decent wifi) - Twitter.

Re: Nokia World 2009 news from Stuttgart
 

Videos are easy to do, even with no editing they are good for us, for instance with N900 I'm interested on some candy UI stuff like kinetic scrolling, and how responsive is, and if it has a default screen (or desktop, because I understand there are many desktops).

On the other hand I'm interested, as a developer, about how easy will be to publish apps on Ovi Store for maemo.

Re: Nokia World 2009 news from Stuttgart
 

If you have the pipe to push the raw material, I'm sure we'll be able solve the work part.

Re: Nokia World 2009 news from Stuttgart
 

If any of you attendees have a S60 mobile you can use Qik to do some livestreaming perhaps.

Re: Nokia World 2009 news from Stuttgart
 

It would be awesome if they gave you a N900 for you to tweet and take pictures there!...

As for the videos: just shoot some of the cute models that will be around there showing the products! :p :) Something like "Send a kiss to the geek developers!!" :D

Re: Nokia World 2009 news from Stuttgart

What else in the news from Nokia World?

Re: Nokia World 2009 news from Stuttgart
 

they will announce a new flagship symbian device what nobody as leaked .
i'm not talking about n97 mini or 5230 either they have a surprise still, which is obvious as they was never going to announce n900 and booklet 3g a week early then not keep an exclusive for day 1

Re: Nokia World 2009 news from Stuttgart
 

Nokia has something big on their hat in Germany:
* maybe another Maem flagship device, other than N900
* a Maemo booklet?
* also a Symbian better touch device:

some hours left till opening...

Re: Nokia World 2009 news from Stuttgart
 

Videos from Nokia World here:

http://www.youtube.com/nokiaconversations

Rumors Nokia will launch a 12 MP camera smartphone and a E series phone that could be a Symbian or a Maemo smartphone.

Will Nokia confirm the Maemo 5" tablet that is in work now, or at a future event?

Re: Nokia World 2009 news from Stuttgart
 

Maybe that should be one of the N900 questions...? ;)

Re: Nokia World 2009 news from Stuttgart
 

new hands on video looks bloody awesome, unofficial walkthrough of n900 via the nokiablog
everything is so smooth and fast, this is no marketing video so it gives a better indication of how it will perform in real life and i'm impressed lots

Re: Nokia World 2009 news from Stuttgart
 

It is just me or the X6 has some very nice specs?

http://conversations.nokia.com/2009/...a-x6-launched/

Re: Nokia World 2009 news from Stuttgart
 

32 GB memory

20 friends onto your homescreen, along with communities such as Facebook and it’s also a fully connected social butterfly.

Did we mention the 35 hours of music playback? 16 days standby time
5-megapixel camera and Carl Zeiss optics, dual LED flash,
TV-out, video editing, online sharing, Nokia Music store,
full web browser and Flash Lite support.
A-GPS, Ovi Maps and Playlist DJ.
If you fancy a bit of gaming, then Spore is included, along with DJ Mix Tour and Asphalt4.

450 euro - same as N97 mini

The X3 is a S40 device... this is strange, this is not symbian, not maemo, and why they still use s40 which as a platform is limited to only Java?

Re: Nokia World 2009 news from Stuttgart
 

If there is something that should have been clear from the presentations... "One size does not fit all".

Re: Nokia World 2009 news from Stuttgart
 

So the X6 is S60 device?

Re: Nokia World 2009 news from Stuttgart
 

The X3 price is good a t115 euro, but I know there are more people who want this device with a Symbian OS which has many more apps and more coming including MS Office, so then what was the advantage having this device running S40 instead of Symbian? Is there any advantage, because I can see many disadvantajes, as market fragmentation, users confused why they cannot install Symbian apps on it, also having this device with Symbian will have been more Symbian adopters, more people to follow nokia's path. I think people buying this X3 and not knownig the big difference between s40 and s60 are simply tricked and they can be unsatisfied customers... Nokia cares about this? :D

Re: Nokia World 2009 news from Stuttgart
 

Yup, S60v5. The data sheet can be found here: http://www.nokia.com/press/media_res...ts/data-sheets

Re: Nokia World 2009 news from Stuttgart
 

X6 has a 433 Mhz processor, 32 GB storage, what is the internal memory C: drive? This was an issue for N97 with only about 40 MB because on C: the emails are stored and many pre-installed applications are on C, and also other apps want to be installed only on C:. Same question about C: for N97 mini, and also what is the RAM, still 128 MB like 5800 or N97 or more RAM?

Re: Nokia World 2009 news from Stuttgart
 

The live Stream from the Nokia conversations site does not even work on the IT's itself. Too bad. I am up in bed at 4 in the morning and cant catch the event unless I switch on the desktop.

Any streams that can be played on the IT itself ?
But good news coming out indeed ....

A Qik video from the floor would be great

Re: Nokia World 2009 news from Stuttgart
 

There's no real reason to wait for "step 5", actually. Every manufacturer ALWAYS have a better device in work, it's an unending process and one can wait for the best one forever. Motorola & Samsung work on NVidia Tegra phones, Apple works on improved iPhone and internet tablet, and after that there will be better chips and new devices in work, better again.
N900 is absolutely cool and that won't change no matter next devices.

Re: Nokia World 2009 news from Stuttgart
 

At the moment it's choking on the desktop also, I guess there's too much traffic.

Re: Nokia World 2009 news from Stuttgart
 

so the secret device Alvin is the X6.

Re: Nokia World 2009 news from Stuttgart
 

I always thought Step 5 was Harmattan and not necessarily a new device?

Re: Nokia World 2009 news from Stuttgart
 

So Quim on twitter says he is able to watch the live stream on his N900 over 3G. That says something about he N900 indeed.

Re: Nokia World 2009 news from Stuttgart
 

It is answered it seems in this review :p
The N900 from a Community Perspective
http://bit.ly/BzxXG

''I noticed that the N900 has the well known S60 video streaming app, “Qik,” available in the repositories, but I didn't have a chance to try it out. I think we might see some very interesting video streaming apps become available in the future. Perhaps news reporters will stream video live from their N900s as events happen?''

Re: Nokia World 2009 news from Stuttgart
 

No, it's neither.

Re: Nokia World 2009 news from Stuttgart
 

Thanks Qole for being the hidden mole in us.
Now I understand the meaning of those sly winks and pointed "questions" ...

But very nice review done there ...

Re: Nokia World 2009 news from Stuttgart
 

I must have missed something! I thought that Quim announced that the representation from the Maemo Community was in the form of Andrew and Tim. I did not realize that qole (Alan) was also going to Stuttgart! Cool ! Nice review indeed!
