Nokia N86 firmware v20 brings exciting new features, improvements {Engadget Mobile}
Oct 1st 2009 8:40PM FWIW, this update is only for Euro models, so don't bother firing up NSU or punching in *#0000# to check for the update if you're using the NAM model.
Nokia N97 mini's FCC docs gain full disclosure {Engadget Mobile}
Sep 30th 2009 12:44PM Is that why they also tested GSM 900/1800 and WCDMA 2100/900, Chris? And tell me, which networks in the US use those frequencies?
I've seen FCC reports that exclude testing of bands not used in the US and this isn't once of them. If it was, the aforementioned bands wouldn't have been tested. And that same Nokia spec sheet you posted also lists 640x360 as "QVGA".
Again, there is no quadband 3G phone on the market to date.
Nokia N97 mini's FCC docs gain full disclosure {Engadget Mobile}
Sep 30th 2009 2:15AM Did anyone at Engadget bother to read the FCC documents before posting this? The test result clearly shows it was only tested for 3 WCDMA bands, not 4. To date, there is NO quadband 3G radio used in any phone.
AT&T's 3G MicroCell tested and reviewed by Charlottean: yes, it works {Engadget Mobile}
Sep 23rd 2009 2:39AM I'm going to give this one to Gizmodo. You already pay one bill for wireless service. You should not have to pay MORE and/or buy MORE equipment to be able to use that service.
Nokia X6 confirmed to sport a capacitive display, we can finally exhale {Engadget Mobile}
Sep 2nd 2009 2:02PM Having used both the i8910HD (capacitive) and the N97 (resistive) extensively, I am sold on capacitive for 5th Edition. Really hoping Nokia announces a proper flagship with a capacitive touchscreen soon.
Verizon blowing out Storms for $49.99 -- you know what that means {Engadget Mobile}
Aug 31st 2009 3:36PM They're buy one get one at $49.99 down here in Atlanta.
AT&T, Apple and Google respond to the FCC over Google Voice and the iPhone App Store {Engadget Mobile}
Aug 22nd 2009 2:58PM "Apple's being pretty hypocritical by claiming on the one hand that the iPhone is at the forefront of a mobile revolution and then saying iPhone users can't figure out how Google Voice is different than the iPhone's built-in functionality on the other. Either your customers are paradigm-busting visionaries or they're not very smart at all, Apple -- you have to pick one."
Ha! No they don't! Apple knows that their "revolution" is being able to sell millions of iPhones to idiots.
Not that all iPhone users are idiots, don't get me wrong, but I've met more iPhone using idiots than I have iPhone geniuses.
iPhone 3GS totally capable of 1080p video playback {Engadget Mobile}
Aug 21st 2009 4:23PM @Matt, let's put it this way; if the capability IS there, Apple won't create an accessory for it until they find the best possible way to milk iPhone owners for as much money as possible. That'll include the an official announcement from their marketing militia, 1080p downloads available in iTunes, and a new dock at $50+. I don't know enough about Apple's pin connector to say whether or not it could handle the output, but in its current form, I doubt it.
iPhone 3GS totally capable of 1080p video playback {Engadget Mobile}
Aug 21st 2009 1:58AM First of all, you do all realize that watching a movie in 480x320 on the iPhone is NO DIFFERENT than watching a movie in 1920x1080 on the SAME RESOLUTION SCREEN, right?. Of course you did, moving on...
What medium cable does everyone expect to use if 1080p output can be achieved on an iPhone? Some magical Apple pin connector>HDMI?! The best quality you could possibly get is to use the Apple component TV-out connector, and even that lowers the quality to make 1080p worthless (though possible over component, very unlikely).
Cool idea though, just remember to keep things in perspective. OmniaHD owners are killing themselves trying to watch 720p movies on their nHD screens without knowing any better (the "n" stands for NOT).
Samsung's WEP870 Bluetooth headset comes with earbuds, bundles of joy {Engadget Mobile}
Aug 20th 2009 1:42AM Amazon has the WEP870 for $49.99 right now with free shipping. Perfect timing, as I was just starting to have problems with my 2-year-old Nokia BH-602's with my i8910HD.
