Nokia BH-905 Bluetooth Headset: Full Review
My long long overdue review on the Nokia BH-905 Bluetooth headset.
The Nokia BH-905: Old College Try at Excellence
A brief intro
Wireless headsets have been in trend for many years now, but to some extent failed to grasp a pole position in the mainstream market. Blame the shabby quality of music, the complication in wireless pairing protocols, or even quote health reasons; everyone had their own grounds against Bluetooth headsets. But today, in a world where everything is just a click away, wired headsets have become nostalgia of the long gone days. And when it comes to the Nokia BH-905 above all, you don’t need a good eye for understated fashion. Long story told short, it is among the very few high-end Bluetooth headphones with absolutely fantastic sound quality rivalling that of dedicated wired headsets from Nokia itself and many other manufacturers alike. “A Symphony of Sound and Silence” catchphrase accompanies the product name, and I personally think it fits on the mark.
With a starting price of USD249 (I think!) or GBP165, the Nokia BH-905 doesn’t come cheap however. In reality, for a hundred bucks lesser, there are plenty of other equalling headsets in the market. In view of the fact, what would actually convince prospective buyers of this high-end Bluetooth headset, with the exception of its fantastic looks? As usual, I shall go over the pros and cons of this gadget, from my perspective of course. Enjoy reading!

Nokia N900 Full Review [Image Heavy!]
Here it is, my long overdue full review of the Nokia N900. It took me almost a month to compose this lengthy review. Before I proceed however; a sincere thanks to the great WOMWorld/Nokia!
The Nokia N900: Best of Both Worlds
Take note that this review is for the pre-PR 1.2 firmware N900; so some of the glitches/problems have been addressed and solved.
A brief intro
When Nokia introduced the N900 back in September 2009, it was understood that Maemo 5 was the fourth step (in a 5 step program) to develop a mainstream smart phone platform. And until I laid my hands on Nokia’s flagship, the aforesaid N900, I frankly could not deem that notion. It was truly a refreshing ‘exploration’; a whole new level of user experience and above all, a whole new level of contentment. But how far can it go in fulfilling the needs of mass-market users? Can the so-called ‘geek phone’ N900 go among the masses and sell well? In my opinion, I think it might just do fine, serving all tech-savvy users, power users and common users alike.
Here’s a gist of my review:
28 Reasons to like the N900
- The built quality
- Display
- 5 MP Camera
- Camera UI
- ARM Cortex-A8 with 256MB RAM (1GB Virtual RAM)
- Excellent Multitasking
- Slide-Out QWERTY keyboard (on-screen keyboard too!)
- Kickback stand
- 32GB internal storage (with microSD extension)
- Portable Multimedia powerhouse
- Media player
- Stereo Speakers
- Maemo 5 (Fremantle)

- Quick Launch
- Clock/Alarm App and UI
- X-Terminal
- Built-in screenshot function
- ‘Always online’
- Bluetooth 2.1
- Professional use
- Browser with Adobe Flash 9.4
28 Reasons not to like the N900

- Resistive Screen with Weak Plastic front (Scratches)
- Distortion of Messages in Conversations
- Bulky
- Narrow Slide-out Keyboard
- Wrong placement of Headphone jack
- Non-Active/dynamic Kickback Stand
- No Portrait Mode
- Limited Media player options/features/settings
- Browser issues
- Outdated Ovi Maps
- Weak LED Flash on Camera
- No MMS and Video Calling

- No Scroll bar for long Menus
- Inconsistency in file management

28 Places Where the N900 Could Improve

Nokia’s New Messaging Solutions Launching Tomorrow?
This morning I received a very thin yet large DHL envelope at office, from WOMWorld/Nokia.
Opening it, I was taken in by this small and beautiful invitation card from Nokia to their virtual event tomorrow called Everyone Connect.
The Nokia Blog did some digging through the Flash teaser page, and they’ve got some interesting leads. So, what could it really be? We’ll know tomorrow at 9am GMT. I got to know about this event last week from Nokia, but they’ve been tight lipped about it nonetheless.

Nokia N86 Review: Part 5 – Full Review
Here it is, my long overdue full review of the Nokia N86, but you might want to check out the earlier 4 parts before that:
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4
Nokia N86: Mighty Machine with a Lil Achilles’ Heel
A brief intro
What is possibly the greatest asset of the Nokia N86 8MP? Well, the name tells it all; yes, it’s the mighty 8 Megapixel camera. It might not sound so great now in 2010 with the coming of Samsung M8910 Pixon12 and subsequently the SE Satio, but this time last year, the Nokia N86 was the pack leader (the Samsung Omnia HD wasn’t doing so well). With a dual slider mechanism similar to the Nokia N85 and N96 earlier, it was indeed one of the best buys, for the camera alone. But what if you’re looking for an all-rounded Nseries? Is this phone worthy of considering, or is it just another flawed Nokia with potent photography capabilities?
I like the Nokia N86 for many reasons, but also dislike it for many specific reasons likewise. It has a balance of pro’s and con’s, but in my opinion, the N86 is quite an all-rounded device, albeit with minor and yet tolerable problems. Read my review below, and you’ll know why.
