Nokia E7 Roadmap Leaked [Updated Specs!]
Filed under Tech
Well I know Nokia isn’t gonna be happy with me publishing this piece of news, and they’d surely be having their watchful eyes over. Having risked the leak of the N8 many months ago, and being among the first on the internet to do so and subsequently withdrawing the same, I’m not going deep on this one; just gonna be touch-and-go.
We already knew of the specs of the Nokia E7 from multiple leaks a few months back, but just so you know, a brief recall (updates in colour):
- Codename: RM-626 (unconfirmed)
- Model No: E7-00
- Hybrid design (touchscreen and QWERTY)
- 4-row QWERTY slide-out tilting keyboard (similar to N97)
- Screen resolution: 640 X 360 (what?? i’m disappointed)
- Capacitive display – 4 inches AMOLED (with multitouch gesture support)
- 1 Ghz Processor (ARM) with graphics support (unconfirmed)
- 256 MB RAM
- 1024 MB ROM
- 16 GB internal memory with microSD expansion
- 3.5 mm audio jack
- 8 MP camera with LED flash (No Carl-Zeiss)
- HD video recording at 2.5Mbps (true?)
- HDMI output (updated!)
- Bluetooth 2.0 (what?? again disappointed!)
- Microsoft Office Communicator Suite
- Frequency: Quad band
- Stereo Speakers
- Symbian^3 OS with OSS browser
- Max thickness: 13.8mm
- 2 Softkeys
- Anodised Aluminium chassis (similar to N8)
- 1200 mAh removable battery
Now, something new has emerged online, a supposed roadmap of the E7 release (in UK to be particular), and according to the info, the E7 will come just in time for the Christmas holidays (December). Juicy news indeed! Especially for me, considering that it will most probably be my next phone after my current E72.
UPDATES: will come as I get more stuffs in the near future 
Latest info: The E7 will be announced next week at the Nokia World event, presumably on the 14 Sept!

Nokia N9 Leaked!
Filed under Tech
The long-awaited Nokia N9 has just leaked online. No specs, nothing, just images. At least we also know the battery size/type.
What worries me is that, this might just affect the sales of N8!
Original images were from Baidu.com forums, at Baidu and Baidu ; but they’ve now been removed!

Nokia’s Meego UI Leaked
Filed under Tech, Visual Graphics & Images
The heat for this news has gone down, but it’s worth posting nonetheless.
I’m not sure how many of you had actually seen the original video, since Nokia has already removed all that were online (which of course tells that the content is legit!). Maybe you could still hunt over Youtube.
Well The Nokia Blog has done some cool analysis over the video, and compiled these screenshots to discuss their points. Check them out below.
Homescreen & Widget Updates
Contacts and Social Networks
Applications & Ovi Store
My favourite is the last screenshot. Why? Just observe; you’d notice that there are 2 layers of UI windows, the top being semi-transparent and showing the recently “minimised” previous window in the background. Cool eh?
On a side note, the UI is also quite similar to the Symbian^4 UI (image leaked a few months back):

TVC: Nokia N8
Filed under TVC, Tech, Youtube/Vimeo/Videos
This is the very first advertisement for the Nokia N8 (well, considering the fact that all before were just promo videos without story-flow). And I should say; it’s well done!
Also noticed that the guy’s reading news via something that definitely doesn’t look like the current Symbian browser. Any idea, anyone?
There’s another N8 advert from India too, but doesn’t showcase much on the phone. But you could watch it for Priyanka’s sake!
Note: This can be a bit too loud!

Craving for Chocolate? We have a suggestion!
Filed under Foods, Health, People, Tech
Meet the Le Whif inhalers.
A lipstick-shaped aerosol that sprays particles of dark chocolate into the mouth is being hailed as providing all the pleasure of the real thing but with no need to feel guilty. Dieters may also find that the mere taste of one of their favourite treats curbs their appetite.
Cool right?
David Edwards, a Harvard professor who invented the spray, says that it only takes a touch of chocolate to satisfy our tastebuds. He said: ‘When you breathe the chocolate into your mouth, it dissolves immediately and coats the tongue and taste buds.
‘Le Whif is a new approach to eating, by breathing.
Additionally, Le Whif comes in three different chocolate flavours: plain, raspberry and mint.

Hubble Celebrates 20 Years
As the Hubble Space Telescope achieves the major milestone of two decades on orbit this year, NASA and the Space Telescope Science Institute, or STScI, in Baltimore are celebrating Hubble’s journey of exploration with a stunning new picture and several online educational activities. There are also opportunities for people to explore galaxies as armchair scientists and send personal greetings to Hubble for posterity.
NASA is releasing a new Hubble photo of a small portion of one of the largest known star-birth regions in the galaxy, the Carina Nebula. Three light-year-tall towers of cool hydrogen laced with dust rise from the wall of the nebula. The scene is reminiscent of Hubble’s classic “Pillars of Creation” photo from 1995, but even more striking.
This picture here, one of the latest new Hubble photos, is of a small portion of one of the largest seen star-birth regions in the galaxy, the Carina Nebula.

Of Clocks and Watches
First, if you’re one of those who just can’t wake up in the morning and all you ever do to your alarm clock is hit the snooze button until you accidently press stop before waking up an hour late for your appointment, this product might just be right for you. Yes, the Twist Alarm Clock.
Made with two displays on two rotating sections, the clock will give you a math problem to solve in the morning when the alarm rings, and the only way to deactivate the alarm is to activate your brain and solve the simple mathematical question. Sure you can easily figure out that 5-3=2, but try that out in the morning and you should be wide awake.
Currently available only in Japan for RM105, I hope this thing goes global.
Now, the second part of today’s post is on a ‘weird’ time indicator. A confusingly confusing watch.
I know time is very precious, but if you have a few minutes to spare, you can spend them on trying to decipher what this e-ink e-clock from TokyoFlash is trying to display.
Don’t get it? Well here’s the guide:

Nokia N8’s Camera
Filed under Tech
I discussed on the iPhone 4’s camera some time ago. And this time around, it’s time for the new king-to-be, the Nokia N8.
Damian Dinning, the mastermind behind the N8’s camera released a series of posts (a few weeks back) covering extensive range of discussion regarding mobile phone photography and what they’ve managed to improvise on the N8, which as a whole took up an entire 7 years of journey.
