This is truly an amazing deal for those N95-1 users looking for a new case, especially those fond of crystal cases. The new Alu-Crystal Case by Proporta is a redesigned model aimed at fulfilling the
shortcomings (plastic cracking) of the previous crystal cases. It sports an aluminum
backing with slots for the microSD card, headphone jack, USB, power,
etc., along with a redesigned and reinforced crystal front piece.
Use the promotion
code N95USERS at checkout to receive the following discount:
Original Price: $28.95 USD or 14.95 Pounds
Price with promotion code (USD): $14.95
Price with promotion code (Pounds): 7.95 + VAT
This is nearly 50% off the original price!
From Proporta.com:
"The Proporta Alu-Crystal Case (Nokia N95), has been designed to add
little bulk to the device whilst complimenting rather than hiding the
stunning looks of your Nokia N95.
Made from a material that combines the durable and scratch resistant
polycarbonate plastic with an aircraft grade aluminum, you’ll struggle
to find a more lightweight yet protective case."
Link to Product Page - Use the promotion code N95USERS to receive the discount, this offer should be live for the remainder of April!
EDIT: This deal does not apply to the 8GB model case, and we are not 100% sure of the compatibility with the N95-3 model. We will update everyone this week.
My mate Sp00k from N95users.com forums has tipped me off about a promotion going on right now for N-Gage. Apparently if you install the N-Gage application on your compatible Nokia handset, you will get the full retail version of the EA Sports football franchise game FIFA '08. They've limited the give-away to the first 20,000 registrants with an ending date of June 30th, 2008- so get over there right now and take advantage of this offer!
An eagle-eyed member of the Mobile-Review forums has spotted a press page for an upcoming event in London on April 22nd. They're having a live webcast at 11:30am GMT, which can be viewed on demand shortly after the event.
So what would the topic of the event be? Some are speculating that a device will be announced- which seems unlikely as the CEO has just stated that there will be no major products shipped during the second quarter. Though, I suppose that doesn't leave out the possibility of an announcement with an actual launch in Q3. Good news is that we're told to expect "a lot of devices" announced in the second half of 2008.
Much more likely is the launch of a service such as "Comes with Music" to coincide with the opening of the Nokia Music Store in Australia with it's subscription service.
Either way, it's an event to keep an eye out for next week. More details will be posted closer to the event.
Expected in the morning tomorrow is the official launch of WOM World's new site. Some readers may have noticed that Nseries WOM World, the Nokia sponsored word of mouth megasite, is having a bit of downtime. Fear not, WOM will be back and looking great in the morning. Pop over there for a peek at the site's brilliant new look. If you've never been to WOMworld.com, you'll not appreciate the new look- but if you are a Nokia fan (and I must nearly assume that you are, as a reader of NokiaUsers) no doubt you'll appreciate the site. The WOM World crew work day and night to bring you the latest word from all over the global Nokia and mobile blogosphere, accounting all sorts of news related to our favorite brand. It's well worth a look for those not familiar. Regular readers should also stop by to have a look at the new design- with good news for the business device fans. WOM World has added the Eseries product line to their search for news, reviews and other word of mouth material. There are now pages for the E90, E51, E61i and E65 at the site, and word is that E51 and E65 devices are being delivered to eager reviewers, so expect to see much more on those devices soon! With the impending announcement of several great looking Eseries devices- this is certainly a welcomed addition to the WOM World for me.
Fantastic work over there, everyone!
Edit- looks like this is being discussed all over the net today- with the most exciting change decidedly the addition of Eseries products. Commenters at AllAboutSymbian.com are speculating that the timing has something to do with the annoucement of the E71. I certainly hope so- I'm quite eager to get a look at it!
This is Lisa. She loves her N95 8GB, as well she should. There’s
many reasons to love the N95 8GB. I’ve spent some time with the N95 8GB myself,
and am currently having a go with the N95 8GB NAM (these N95 variant monikers are
starting to become a mouthful) right now courtesy of the fine folks at WOM
World, the Nseries sponsored word-of-mouth resource that covers all the latest
happenings around the Nokia blogosphere. The N95 8GB line has seen some very
nice software improvements since I last played with one. I’ve done a piece some
time back on the ten reasons to update to the N95 8GB from the classic edition,
and it may very well be time to revisit that topic. The shiny black beauty that
I’ve got here in front of me now has flash support in the browser so that I can
play embedded flash content from YouTube, or any of the other flash content
sites out there. It’s got all the fancy updates that I’m sorely lacking from my
beloved N95-3- that’s the seemingly forgotten North American variant. This new one
has vast improvements in speed with regards to the gallery as well as a much
quicker camera load time and processing of the images. It’s also got a larger
screen- which doesn’t really look that big on ‘paper’- it’s a 2.8 inch screen
as opposed to the classic N95’s 2.6 screen- but when you get the thing in your
hands, it’s a quite noticeable difference. The width added to the top slider
that allow for the extra 1/5 of an inch gives most the initial impression of a
rather “chunky” device, and this was exactly my impression. It just loses some
of the elegance of the N95- and yes, I think the N95 is a classy, elegant
device- I really do. The N95 8GB though, with its shiny piano black looks, and
it’s fat-headed slider with the 2.8 inch screen seems to lose some of this. I
will have to say though- I’ve absolutely gotten used to it- and now that the
North American 3.5G network capability has been added to this variant of the
N95 8GB, I’m really starting to like it. One thing that really makes this
device stand out is something that Lisa wants to tell you about…
There are a number of reasons to like the bigger screen-
read on for some of the impressions that the N95 8GB has left of me, and some
of the reasons why you should love the N95 as much as Lisa does...
We can now add the N82 to the list of N series supporting
FL3 and Web Runtime. The firmware update bringing these features, v20.0.062,
was release today to address a number of issues and enhancements with the mobile.
Along with FL3 and WRT, the N82 now supports geotagging along
with AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile) via Bluetooth. Users
from EverythingN82 are also reporting performance
enhancements and greater stability with their mobile. Mike from the N82
Blog also has some great tips for upgrading, including backing up your
important data via PC Suite (even with the data preservation).
For the complete list of changes, be sure to check out thechange
log at Symbian-Freak.
We hate speculating and spurring rumors, but when this
surfaced on N81 Street the other day; we can’t help but assume new N81 firmware
is coming. The leaked firmware, labeled 20.0.034, is expected to bring FL3 and
hopefully demand paging according to the user(Anarki). Now again, this is based off the provided image and the user feedback; so I wouldn't get your hopes up just yet. Be sure to follow the thread here, as Anarki is sharing his screenshots and feedback.
On a separate note, how is N-Gage treating those N81 (or any compatible phone at this point) owners? It is truly sluggish on my N95, and the poor game selection doesn't help. I really had high hopes for the new, refined N-Gage; but with nearly every decent game "coming soon", I'm not sure what to expect....
Ricky, the Symbian-Guru just hit me up to let me know that Ngage 2.0 has just launched, stealth like- under the radar. Good thing he dropped me a line- as I certainly missed the unannounced event. No doubt that Nokia is looking for a soft launch here as they test the waters with a massive existing user base for this newly revamped and relaunched service. ;)
It's out now for the N95, N95 8GB and N82 now- no doubt more devices to join the list shortly, namely the N73 that has seen recent software updates in effort to make the device compatible with NGage. I'm off to install it now myself, with impressions to follow...
Well the N810 got official yesterday (for real this time), so
with the exception of WiMax; what else actually changed? Well apparently there is
an OS2008 update in store, which will also be obtainable for original N800/N810
users. I would guess this would not be available until summer, as that is the expected release date for the new tablet. The update is going to address numerous software related issues, such as
updating the standard email client, Chinese character support in browsers,
along with ‘Seamless Software Updates”. Seamless updates? We don’t have a clue
either... DotSisx from Symbian-Guru
believes this could be a mask for OTA (Over the Air updates), which would allow
you to update your firmware through WiMax (or possibly even Wifi). Personally,
I hope this also means Nokia will make the repositories easier and more reliable to use; and
possibly even auto-update my current apps if I choose to. We all remember the
good’ole days when Canola released a new Beta and their repositories got hammered;
not to mention when OS2008 was nearly unobtainable
for the first few days after launch.
The tablet will initially launch in the US only, and the cost is currently unknown. I would love to see it at the sub $400 range, as opposed to pushing $500 like the original N810. As for the N800's, those are truly at rock bottom prices. If you are fine without the GPS, keyboard, and future WiMax; I wouldn't hold off to grab yourself one.
The updates keep rolling in. Last week the JoikuSpot team
brought us an update that added stability to the tremendously slick application
that turns your wifi enabled S60 device into an ultra-portable hotspot- this
week they bring us version 1.2 of the application with long awaited (though not
that long- they’re really busting arse on this one) WEP support. There are
other improvements made as well, with a promise of more to come.
Apparently there is a Nokia employee who just couldn’t wait
until the official announcement to show off his shiny new N810 tablet. The
leaked pictures, now removed , were displayed earlier today on flickr and showed
some up close images of the suspected WiMax tablet. Internet Tablet Talk users
who saw the remainder of images report the stylus may have changed, let’s hope outside
of WiMax that isn’t the only added “feature” (new camera please?). Be sure to jump in the discussion and have your say before things get really official. One more
day until CTIA , one more day....
As if we didn't expect this already, Nokia is one step closer to announcing the "official" WiMax edition tablet. The image, shown to the left, surfaced earlier today at Nokia's official website; jusy days before CTIA.
The model is suggesting the tablet will retain its current 'N810' label, however it appers the external casing has be given a darker touch. It is unclear on what, if any, other options will be added outside of WiMax; lets just hope we see some prices drop on the current N810 -similar to the ones witness on the N800 just a few months back. More details are expected in the coming days, be sure to hold off on your tablet purchase until after CTIA.
