How Finns work

How Finns work 01/16/2004 11:03 AM
I guess this tells something about the nature of Finns:

I was up uncharacteristically early this morning, and waiting for a tram with a bunch of other random people. The tram comes, and the driver can be clearly seen waving around, as if she had flies in her driving compartment - or as if she was simply mad. This is slightly worrying.

The tram stops, and the doors take a while to open. The driver looks at us and says "This tram will turn."

People stare at her, uncomprehending.

"This tram will TURN!" she says, sounding a bit angry this time. "There's another tram right behind us", she continues.

Nobody asks the obvious question "where will the tram turn and why there are then people in it and what the fuck do you mean by the whole thing anyway, lady", and everybody steps politely back and lets the tram go. Apparently a tram which turns is a very bad thing, and you are not to board one.

Comes the next tram, and people hop onto it. This tram follows the previous one very carefully for many minutes, until it turns out that the first one does not actually turn anywhere, but it goes straight from a crossing that it was supposed to take a right turn at. Regardless, I could've taken either route - both got me very close to where I was going anyway...

This is so highly confusing at 8 am.

Booze-Cruising Finns (Reuters) 08/06/2004 07:42 AM
Reuters - A rush of thirsty Finns making the short trip across to neighboring Estonia to stock up on cheap booze and beer have boosted state coffers in the small Baltic EU newcomer, the Finance Ministry said on Thursday. Revenues from alcohol taxes rose more than 40 percent in June from the same period last year to 162 million kroons ($12.49 million) as Finns booze-cruised to the ex-Soviet state, and early estimates suggest a similar rise for July.

Okay, so Nokia just dropped three phones onto us, and they're pretty crazy, and by 'crazy' I mean 'sort of ugly.' I have to cop to sort of liking the Tron-style and the asymetrical design - the one round corner, one square corner 'new Nokia' look - but I have a feeling I'll be in the minority. Would it kill them to just release a nice, silver phone that you could take home to mom?

Anyway, here's the breakdown, and I'll probably go after this post in a couple of waves. The one pictured here is the Nokia 7280, which you might notice doesn't have a keypad. That's because Nokia designed it to be "sleek," "sexy," and "edgy." (I'm not joking.)

Phelps got a spot on the American 400-meter freestyle relay at the expense of three-time Olympian Gary Hall Jr., but the team had to settle for bronze when South Africa set a world record that left the U.S. foursome standing glumly on the deck Sunday night.

Wireles GPS Module LD-1W 09/23/2004 07:13 AM

And last but not least (if you're reading from the bottom up; otherwise, welcome to the Nokia posts!) are these two new peripherals from Nokia, a new Nokia Wireless Headset HS-11W headset with a 6 hour talk time, and this Nokia Wireless GPS Module LD-1W that also connects to your phone or PDA via Bluetooth (the GPS may not actually be new - it seems sort of familiar - but I don't exactly recall hearing about it before). The GPS unit uses the same battery and charge plug as most Nokia phones, so you can use your existing charge to go along with it.

The headset should be out later this year, while the GPS unit isn't scheduled until Q1 2005.

Nokia 1110 and Nokia 1600

Nokia 1110 and Nokia 1600 06/06/2005 12:09 AM

Nokia announced their 1600 and 1110 models, meant to be affordable, easy-to-use and light on frills. Nokia is targeting developing nations with these models and they look well enough to suit their purpose as part of a plan to eventually offer mobile service for just $5 a month. They both feature talk times of over 5 hours and the Nokia 1600 has a 65k color screen while the Nokia 1110 uses a sunlight-friendly inverted black and white display. They're expected to retail for $105 and $85, respectively, and will be available later this year.

Nokia 6670

Nokia 6670 09/23/2004 07:13 AM

Nokia rarely announces just one product at a time, and today was no exception. In addition to that Remote Camera, they also have revealed the Nokia 6670, a tri-band phone (in both US and Everybody Else tunings), that looks a lot like a 7610 without the strange keypad and the gussied up case. Instead the 6670 is a fairly plain looking model - although appealing, in its way, as long as you don't mind the New Era Nokia asymmetric styling - that runs Series 60 and has a one-megapixel camera.

Nokia's plan is all starting to make a lot more sense to me now. Release the eye-catching, weirdo phones first, then release a follow up model that people with actually buy. I don't understand why that's their plan, but that seems to be it.

Nokia 7710? 09/21/2004 10:38 AM

Nothing is more fun to write about than mystery gadgets that have no backstory and no included information, but sometimes you gots to take what you gets. So here you go: an unnamed Series 90 phone/pda/thing prototype from Nokia. I'm not even positive it's Series 90, but the widescreen would certainly imply that. You can be sure it's from Nokia, though, because it looks like a crappy science fiction chess board.

The picture is labelled Nokia 7710, for whatever that's worth. If you recall, the 7700 was the Series 90 showcase phone that Nokia cancelled before it hit the market.
