Sex lies and Nokia Internet Tablets

   I lied about the sex part sorry,  so this week I've managed to get the whole Nokia Internet Tablet family. I love these things. Before you read on I realize I don't have the Wimax N810 I still feel I have the whole family. I would gladly except one if you have one to donate I could even pay shipping. With that being said lets get this party started.



 



    First up the Nokia N770 it came out in November 2005 it had a OMAP 1710  running at 252 MHz which isn't a super computer but it did what youa asked it too, tweeted from it last night. It had a whopping 64 MB of RAM, and 128 MB of internal FLASH memory and you could extend virtual memory  up to 1 GB, remember when that was alot. The screen was 4.1 inches, 800×480 pixels at 225 pixels per inch with up to 65,536 colors and thats not terrible didn't have any problems reading anything when I was playing with it. Had WiFi Bluetooth 1.2 dial-up access, USB both user-mode, and non powered host-mode. It takes a MMC this one has a 64 mb beast in it. I got this one off of Ebay for a little over $5 out of my pocket and it is perfect I can't find a scratch on it. This is a great find and is very welcome here at the refuge.



Pic is upside down screw it!! This one came out in 2007 OMAP 2420 with a native speed of 400 MHz but only ran at 330 MHz on OS2007 but it will run 400 MHz if you put OS2008 on this little fella. It has 128 MB of RAM and 256 MB of flash memory. It had b/g Wifi Bluetooth 2.0, USB 2.0 OTG. The screen was also 4.1 inches 800×480 at 225 dpi, and I say if it aint broke don't fix it. And strangely enough it has 2 full-sized SD card slots, one internal and one external. I love the Gigabits I don't think I will be happy until my phone has TBs. It had a web cam hidden in the left side very James Bondy, you use Skype and it even has a FM radio. I got this one
 off Ebay also this one was a bank buster I paid $80 for this one and I will tell you why. First it came with  

 the Nav Kit never used every thing still in plastic so awesome. Second it came with not one but two 32 GB 


samsung SDHC cards brand new still in pakage those were between $30 and $35 online conservatively so I 

got this like new Nokia N800 and Nav Kit for $10 to $20 bucks freakin awesome!!!!!!




   


Love when it comes with the box. So moving on.
 

My N810 this was my first found her on craigslist back when I had some hidden cash. This was $100 like new in box. Don't have a pic of this one turned on I guess after 2 years the battery had lost it's charge I'm sure it still works. This one came on in 2007 it was alot like the N800 it had a slide out keyboard and it changed the popout camera to a front facing one that seems to be on everything now days. It too had 2 sd card slots but they took away the FM radio to bad love having a FM radio.

   Well there you have it I also have the N900 but that was a phone, it belongs in the family but maybe if a WiMax N810 comes to the refuge I will revisit this. My N9 could also be here but. So thats about it for this time.

I have a tease for my next post.

Questions or comments please feel free to contact me. You can follow me on Twitter at @Nokia_Refuge or contact me at Nokia_Refuge@outlook.com.

 Again the purpose of this blog is to save as many neglected or forgotten Nokia as I can. So if you have any that are in a closet or a desk drawer somewhere collecting dust. If you hate it and want to get rid of it or you love it but have no use for it and want it to live on send it to me. I will make sure that its retirement is comfortable and safe on my 1/8 acre refuge. Again I may be able to chip in for shipping but unfortunately unable to buy them as my wife would FREAKING KILL ME.

And it doesn't need to be a phone if it says Nokia its welcome here.

Lost in the shuffle

      So it's been a few weeks since my last post. Been kind of torn about the Microsoft thing, and I'm having a hard time finding inspiration. So just a few things I wanna talk about. First it's the end of an era regardless of what Nokia does. Can they come back of course, can they win my heart back? YES! But I don't know where I'm gonna be. Its gonna be a long hard road if and when they get back into the device arena. 

       I'm excited to see what Jolla will do but until they will ship to the US I'm out until then. I've heard NEWKIA a few times but I don't know what that is all about.

      So I have wondered many times if anyone gets what it takes to compete with Android. I think Apple and Microsoft could but they can't get their heads out of the sand. How can anyone or anything grow if everyone is always saying "you're the greatest"" this is the coolest phone ever" I see 2 major flaws in Apple.
First they gotta put a memory card slot in the damn thing already! I personally would be more apt to buy one if I could get the 16gb and add memory to it later. But I'm a power user and would love to have a Terabyte on my phone. And second screen size but that is because of popular trends. Personally I like a smaller screen.

      Next is Windows Phone first kill Zune oh my gosh its so slow hate it refuse to have it. faster to upload to Dropbox or Skydrive and stream it back. Second notifications let me explain, I love Nokia but I have other phones I have a few Androids a few Iphones 2 Palm Veers a N900 and a Blackberry Q10. I have used them all in my opinion here is how IOS and Android excel, say I want to follow @nokia on twitter and I really like what they tweet or I am waiting for one in particular. On Windows Phone I have to stop go to their feed and finger through all of their tweets, and that would be fine if I had the time, but I don't. In Android as well as IOS you can goto their profile and just turn on the notifications, now I get all their tweets. I want this I need this I have 42 feeds that I follow in this way, can you imagine. This is the number one big papa reason Windows Phone is not my Main phone. Without this type of notifications I would rather carry Symbian if I had to choose I can do everything I need except maybe watch Netflicks and I don't "need" that.
Microsoft is now solely responsable for Windows Phone and it devices. So I Guess I don't care anymore.

      So anyway there you have it I feel better. I have more devices to write about but I've been pretty busy. Been trying to make some time so please bare with me.
