The Nokia N900 is priced at RM2280. Collection of the devices can be done on the 27th and the 28th of March 2010 at selected Nokia Stores so if you wanna be one of the first to own the N900 in Malaysia, pre-order now!

Click here to make your pre-order.

The first 300 ppl to pre-order will get a free “Nokia Extra Power DC-11″ worth RM278.

The DC-11: Simultaneously charge the two devices you use the most for calls, messaging, navigation or music. It provides up to one charge for your mobile phone. High-quality materials, rechargeable battery and excellent cable management make life hassle free when you’re on the move.

According to Engadget, the upcoming Nokia C6 is a 5230 lookalike with slide out full qwerty keyboard.

In my opinion, apart from the 3 buttons at the bottom of the screen and the bezeled frame, it looks kinda nice. I like it cos it has a 4 rows keyboard instead of 3 rows like the N97.

The Nokia C6 should be of a lower range than the N97 mini as it doesnt have the big hard disk space like the N97.

More news to come! Stay tuned!

So I have gone to OviStore and downloaded the app. To my surprise, it’s very fast and the interface is very sleek. I expected it to be somewhat sluggish like the previous Java version but was totally overwhelmed.
Upon logging in, your contacts will be displayed with their avatars and statuses.

Skype for Symbian enables Nokia smartphone users to:

· Make free Skype-to-Skype calls to other Skype users anywhere in the world*

· Receive calls to their existing online number
· See when Skype contacts are online and available to call or IM

Here’s a screenshot of the contact list and by tapping the first button at the bottom of the screen will call the contact straight away. This allows us to do voice calls with Skype users anywhere in the world via their computers or mobile.

Skype for Symbian will run on any Nokia smartphone using Symbian^1, the latest version of the Symbian platform. Skype will soon introduce this client to Symbian mobile devices from other manufacturers, including Sony Ericsson.

The chat window looks clean and easy to the eye. There’s no lag between entering the text and displaying it on the screen, in other words, the interface is very fast.

Nokia has just announced a product that you might wanna purchase and lighten up your wallet.

Introducing the luxury version of the N97 Mini, built with 18-carat gold and comes with fashionista apps like “ELLE 360Fashion” so you can stay up to date with latest fashion and spend more money buying clothes to match your shiny gold Nokia N97 Mini.

In my opinion, with the inclusion of fashion apps, Nokia is trying to target this to the female community. What say you?

The gold edition has the same features and specs like the ordinary one: 3.2inch touchscreen display with 360 x 640 pixels, full QWERTY keyboard, WiFi, 3.5G, GPS, Nokia Ovi Maps, 3.5mm headphone jack, 8GB internal memory, and a 5MP camera with autofocus and LED flash.

It’s gonna be priced at about 2,499 Poland Zloty.. which is about 2882 Malaysian Ringgit and will be made available in the next quarter.

As some of you may know, Foursquare is currently not natively supported on Symbian platform yet, but thanks to Waze, we can now easily report out locations with just a few taps!

All you need to do is download Waze onto your Symbian device (touch/non touch)

Once the GPS signal is locked, click on the “Report” button and scroll down to reveal the Foursquare option.

First time users will be asked to login.

Once logged in, a list of nearby locations will be displayed. Just tap on any of them and you are done!

This is the confirmation screen once u have checked in.

Note: GPS locking is quite slow (was trying this with the Nokia 5800), no options to view badges or friends’ locations… but hey you get to check in without the need to go to m.foursquare.com on your browser! aha

Point your phone browser to http://m.waze.com/ now to download WAZE.

It’s basically a top down style racing game with a twist. It lets you to race on a track selected by you, either using the predefined ones or your own location by utilsing the GPS to find out where you are and the roads around you.

Once you are in, you will have to select online mode or offline. Pick the first one if you want to use your current location as a racing track.

In offline mode, you can select a country of your choice, select the starting point from the “animated” map and then start off the race.

When I first saw this I was not amazed, as I was expecting to see the real Nokia Ovi maps (thinking that it should be integrated with each other) but all we get is just a simply block and path kinda maps with dots.

The gameplay is very simple. No acceleration. No braking. All you can do is just steer left or right by tapping the icons on both sides of the screen. I like how the little car drifts though haha but expect a lot of oversteer and slides…. and do you notice how pixelated the graphic is? I dont understand why is the game so “basic” but anyways its a free game so we cannot complain much.

Check out the video I recorded below.
