While browsing through the exposition floor at this year’s Nokia World which took place last week on the 2nd and 3rd of September in Stuttgart, I was drawn towards the new devices, software and solutions. It definitely was an eye-opening experience to talk to the people behind these different products and ask about some of the choices they made as well as their plans for the future. However, one demo from the Nokia Research Center struck me with its novelty, ambition, and absolute sci-fi factor. The team had some concept glasses which projected images and had an embedded tiny camera that detected your eye’s movement allowing you to browse through the pictures. A video to further explain the concept and show its true power can be found on this page under “Nokia Mixed Reality“.

The Nimbuzz EmotiContest is over and we have a winner: Nemanja Djurdjevic with the “jawdropping” emoticon! He is the new proud owner of the Nokia 5800. Congratulations!!

With more than 60 entries and a lot more than 100 emoticons, it was a pretty hard job for our design team to pick the winner from all the good designs that were submitted.

The team have picked Nemanja considering:

• the quality of the design
• if it’s a new emoticon, not a variation of the ones we already have
• how good it expresses a feeling
• how good it fits the Nimbuzz Emoticons style

We really hope the Nemanja will send us a picture with him and his new phone, so we can all see who is the creator of jawdropping emoticon.

After posting the the EmotiContest Semifinalists blog post we have received A LOT of new entries over the weekend that influenced the new top of the Semifinalists. Here are the entries that made it in the second semifinal, and from which we have picked the winner:

What I find really interesting about this particular Nokia mobile is its half QWERTY keyboard. I must say,  I’m really curious to see how well I would get along with it and how fast I would type . But, before thinking about fast typing I think is better to listen to the expert, and see what makes this a good mobile:

The following are the 5 preinstalled applications which I think make the Nokia E55 a sure fire winner before you’ve even added all the superb 3rd party apps like Nimbuzz, Gravity, Mobbler.
