Nokia battery BL-5C recall

Postby Juanm on Tuesday August 14th, 2007 14h18:32

Well, there's a recall campaign from Nokia for batteries BL-5C manifactured between december 2005 and november 2006 by Matsushita and branded by Nokia.

Note: if your battery will be eligible for change, you'll have to compile a form.

Netfront 3.3

Postby Juanm on Monday January 23rd, 2006 14h55:25

It's out from about a month, downloadable from www.access-netfront.com as usual as 45d trial (of course you can register the sw too).
First glance improvements: renewed interface, improved text box input (that's to say: no more posts truncated randomly as in 3.2), text only interface is able to download and use current site css rather than presenting a black and white + blue link site.

Troubles: upgrade from 3.2 seems problematic ... at worst delete old version and reinstall.
It looks weird redirecting users on bookmarks after loading app ...

Nokia N71

Postby Juanm on Thursday October 27th, 2005 18h06:12

Nokia n71 is forecast for Q1 2006.

engadget wrote:Apparently the device will have a 2 megapixel external camera, and will more than likely be 3G (UMTS, we’d hypothesize) due to that videoconferencing camera. The supposed early 2007 launch sounds a little off (we had it that it’d be hitting the market Q1 2006), but we’ll have to wait and see for ourselves, now won’t we?
