And to demonstrate how strong the flash is, we got presented with two pictures under dark conditions:

Dr Jukka, I thank you once again for accepting my invitation, and I thank the Nokia Press department as well for this opportunity. First of all, I would like to ask you some questions close to your heart, of a personal matter:

What was the first phone you ever had?

It was Ericsson GH 198, my first and last non-Nokia device.

When did you buy the above-mentioned phone, and what price did you pay for it?

I bought it in August 1994. It did cost around 7-800 Euros, I would have wanted to buy Nokia 2110 back then, but it was probably some 300 Euros more expensive.

The first thing is that Nokia N96 Blog is surpassing the visits of PhoneReport, if you don’t know, PhoneReport is our brother blog, such as MyLovelyGadgets, but PhoneReport is better known all around the mobile world, it has approximately 1 year and is mainly done by Meraj (my big friend).

At the beginning of Nokia N96’s blog, we thought it couldn’t be easy to attract visitors to a blog when the main theme is just one mobile phone, but Meraj insisted and I finished agreeing with his arguments. Now it seems He was totally right, and let me remember you that the visits we are having are mainly organic.

I am not just posting to tell about this “surpassement” of PhoneReport, but also to thank you (all visitors and feed subscribers), because this growing would be impossible without you. At now our Alexa Rank is 675.605, again increasing as time goes by.

Meraj can’t appear online in this month, cause his internet limit have been reached (he is in South Africa), bu Tuesday we will have new posts and more news.

We have in our website some free ad spaces that are free and you can buy them for an unlimited time with the price we have on the contact form. You, advertiser, remember that we have more than 1000 pages views daily, a Nice Alexa ranking, more than 100 feed subscribers and Nokia N96 will be released in August. The prices will grow if our popularity grows as Nokia N96’s fame increases.

Maybe, Tuesday we will update our Wordpress Blog to the version 2.5, final, the blog will not go down as this is just a fast update.

Here is another RSS button…also the BIGGEST of the world.

This certainly comes as a surprise to me, and we don’t know if it’s another rumour, but according to Daedalus85 at Esato forums, a Nokia representative told him that the upcoming N96 might have a little addition, which is the highly awaited Xenon flash.

I strongly doubt it, especially if the pre-production models have been reviewed and showcased at various exhibitions, and the full specifications have been released.

Xenon flash isn’t the only thing missing, we need a better battery, higher resolution, and few improvements on the camera itself.

I will present my views on the phone by the weekend, but I leave you with an excerpt of the interesting article:

”

Interestingly, over a year ago Nokia started to enhance its product portfolio not only by varying styles, but also hardware platform underpinning their solutions. The Nokia N95 and its follow-ups built upon the TI OMAP chip, while the N96 takes advantage of STMicroelectronics’s Nomadik. So when comparing these two phones, their similarities don’t go beyond physical aspects, since other things, like functionality and hardware, are quite different.

Is the N96 a mass-market solution? No. Then, is it heavily specialized, aiming at one particular niche? No. It is rather somewhere in between. This phone will see moderate sales, although the fuss around it will easily shadow its modest numbers.”

“IE cannot open nokian96.net/…”

But the problem wasn’t related to nokian96.net page, but Adtool Peel Away ads, that are something like a second page included in the main.

I think now it is everything ok, as we removed Adtool Ads.

We also like to say to all for you that our Alexa Rank changed, we are now at 752.780 place.

Custódio, from Oportunidades de Dinheiro,a portuguese blog about money, recommended some new contact forms. So, we added them to this blog. Check this one:

Of course most of us aren’t as talented as Stavros, but now we can atleast give it a try.

Instructions

Step 1. Use Sports Tracker on your phone to record your location data. You can choose to run, walk, or whatever and it will record your path.

Step 2. When You are done, select ‘Upload to Service’ on the workout summary screen on your phone. The data will be uploaded to Sports Tracker online.

Step 3. On the Sports Tracker website, the route will be displayed on a map. To get this map on our blogs, we need to download the data as KML file by pressing the KML button above the map.

The Widsets 2.0 beta site recently went live which means you can now download and test the latest version of the Widsets client. New features include better integration between Widsets and the rest of the device including the ability to initiate a phone call or open a browser window. Widsets is a way to get web content on your mobile via widgetisation. Read on for more.

Widsets has been around since the summer of 2006 (but only really took off last year). It has continued to evolve at an impressive pace and the new version holds a great deal more functionality that the original version. The basic idea is presenting digestible web content optimised for consumption of a mobile device through a ‘dashboard / desktop’ and ‘widget / application’ interface. Widgets are arranged on the dashboard and each widget can be opened to view the contents. The basic Widgets are RSS feeds wrapped in an attractive package, but there are also a number of small games and utility widgets. New to this beta is the Push E-mail widget.
