Nokia's N810 Internet tablet has finally been announced.
The N810 now features WiFi, Bluetooth connectivity and integrated GPS functionality. The biggest addition is the new slide-out, backlit QWERTY keyboard which takes the place of the on-screen keyboard on the N800. A navigation pad resides to the left of the keyboard.
The display is still measures 4.13" with an 800x480 resolution, however, the Texas Instruments OMAP processor has been bumped up to an even 400MHz.
As with the N800, the N810 uses the Linux-based OS2008 operating system. A Mozilla based browser is included which supports Ajax and Adobe Flash 9.
"The Nokia N810 packs the power of a traditional computer into a pocket-sized format. Its open standard technology accelerates the convergence of multiple functionalities and services into a single device", said Ari Virtanen, Nokia's VP of Convergence Products. "Our new Nokia N810 offers users a true Web 2.0 experience in a compact, stylish, yet affordable package - it connects people to what matters to them."
The Nokia N810 will be available in mid-November for a price of $479 USD. For those that don't need the latest and greatest, the older N800 has received a substantial price cut, you can get the amazing price in Amazon.
Lately, mobile phones have evolved extremely fast, and whether you need them to access the Internet, record videos, send/receive MMS and SMS messages or e-mails, listen to music or radio stations, cellular phones are the most indispensable devices these days.
But today's guide will teach you a very easy way to connect and transfer files to/from your mobile phone using an USB cable through the Pop-Port interface. Many Nokia phones
The problem with the phones that use the Pop-Port is that when you connect the USB cable to your Linux PC, nothing happens. I bet you are (like me) probably used to see an "Open with..." window a few seconds after you connect some multimedia device (camera, phone, hard drive, ipod) in the USB port, but this will not happen with these phones. Don't panic, I have the solution! You just have to follow the next steps:
Step 1 - Install required software
Fire up Synaptic Package Manager (System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager) and search for obex.
Mark for installation the following packages:
- obexftp
- openobex-apps
Some other packages, that depend on these ones, will also be installed, so click "Mark" when you'll be asked if you want to install those too. Now click the "Apply" button to install all the required packages. When the installation is over, close Synaptic.
All the above software consists of console-based tools, so we need to install a nice GUI (graphical user interface) for the obexftp package. The ObexFTP Front-end software happens to be a very nice and easy to use obexftp GUI, which requires no installation. Download it here, use the "Binary mirror 1 (zip) (1.7 MB)" package and extract it in your home directory.
Step 2 - Advanced Configurations
It is time to connect your phone to the PC using the USB cable. Open a terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal) and type:
lsusb
which should output some lines with USB devices connected to your PC. I've easily spotted my Nokia phone:
Bus 003 Device 003: ID 0421:043a Nokia Mobile Phones
This line shows the VendorID and ProductID of the phone, for my Nokia N70:
VendorID = 0421 ProductID = 043a
Now copy/paste the following line in the Terminal:
sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/040-permissions.rules
and add the next line to the end of the text file:
BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="VendorID", SYSFS{idProduct}=="ProductID", GROUP="plugdev", USER="yourUserNname"
Replace VendorID and ProductID with the numbers from the lsusb result and yourUserNname with your username.
Example:
BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0421", SYSFS{idProduct}=="043a", GROUP="plugdev", USER="marius"
Save the file and close it. This little trick will give you rights to access and use the USB port where the mobile device is connected.
Step 3 - Final adjustments
Right click on your desktop and select the 'Create Launcher...' option.
In the 'Create Launcher' window select a nice icon, fill up the Name field with the desired name for the launcher, and on the Command field type:
java -jar /home/YOURUSERNAME/obexftp-frontend-0.6.1-bin/OBEXFTPFrontend.jar
Replace YOURUSERNAME with your username.
All you have to do now is to double click the launcher you've just created and the ObexFTP Front-end will pop-up asking you to configure it. Follow the next steps:
- Enter /usr/bin/obexftp in the ObexFTP path field.
- Select USB on the Transport option and set the Value field to 1.

The Nokia 330 is a Satellite Navigation system (Nokia call it “Auto Navigation”) that bears a passing resemblance to the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet. Like the 770, the Nokia 330 isn’t a phone but the really surprising thing lies deep underneath.
One nice feature with the Nokia 330 is that it can play back multimedia content, such as videos and MP3 music tracks. It also comes with Bluetooth, presumably so that traffic updates and other value added features can be accessed. Overall, the Nokia 330 is a pretty slim satellite navigation system at 81 x 109 x 30mm and 205 grams in weight. The sales package includes the “gooseneck” mounting kit, a memory card, phone holder and USB cable.
The Nokia 330 comes with the Route 66 Satellite Navigation system and it offers pan-European mapping (although not every country has 100% coverage). The maps are preloaded on a 2Gb memory card, which can also be used to store other data. The navigation software has the usual combination of spoken and visual directions, 2D/3D views, and it comes with a touch-sensitive 3.5″ display. The GPS receiver is a SiRF III GSC3 unit.

Nokia N800 is the follow-up with compressed Internet of Nokia 770, building on the platform of Maemo Linux developed by Nokia. N800 employs the third incarnation of Maemo, called edition 2007 of OS of compressed Internet which adds some new devices to the edition 2006 (which was in oneself an enormous improvement above the original platform).
It is harshly the same size as its predecessor - measurements of Nokia N800 75×144x13mm and weighs 206 grams. The 770 were 230 grams in its protective case, and 185 grams without him. N800 divides the same thing display excelé of the Pixel 800×480 of its predecessor. it is a display very of high resolution which puts competition at shame. N800 adds a webcam more of the improvements to the execution of WiFi and Bluetooth of the tablet.
A principal weakness of old men 770 was an internal lack of storage, and this was increased in N800. N800 also accepts a large variety of charts of memory, including RS-MMS, miniSD, microSD and units of MMCmobile, which gives much flexibility. A nice contact is that N800 has an integrated stand, one of the first things which are lost on 770 older.
It is important to note that Nokia N800 is not a telephone, although it supports Skype in the future. Connectivity is by the adaptor of N800 WLAN, or via a telephone of Bluetooth. The 770 were not limited on the telephones of Nokia either, thus you should be able to employ just about any Bluetooth fixed at the hand with the telephones of N800, including 3G, of EV-DO and HSDPA.
Range of the software available now and in the future for the demostrates of Nokia N800 clearly that it is a ultra-compact computer. There is a version of the web browser of opera, a customer of email, newsreader of RSS, player of multi-media, plays plus a range of the utilities and other applications. It will be also possible to employ N800 with a receiver of GPS like satellite system of navigation.
Nokia N800 has various glances too much - the 770 were a little, N800 is polished more and contemporary. One or the other manner, both compressed Internet of Nokia has the abundance of the factor of defect of the sound reproduction. particularly when people see the quality of display.
You could regard Nokia N800 as of compressed Internet of Nokia. The original version of the 770 had the abundance of the approximate edges (call it version 1.0) which were mainly fixed by the OS 2006 (call it version 1.1). Perhaps N800 will be polished enough to make him an adapted product for human consumption, while old men 770 were really for enthusiasts.
