Phone manufacturers usually leave the gilding to jewelers and other specialty shops that are more willing to show complete disregard for taste and common sense than themselves, but once in a while, pure, unadulterated emotion gets the better of someone in a position to make product decisions — yes, even at Nokia — and something [...]

Nokia N900 Gets First Software Update, But Don’t Expect Much

Nokia has announced that it has started pushing the N900’s very first post-launch update, but apparently it’s not anything crazy like Maemo 6 (yeah, we know it’s not even close to ready, but you know you want it) or system-wide portrait orientation support — instead, it’s just a minor bump designed to prepare the set [...]
