Hello all.

hello world!

Ding!

Hi all, can't wait to see what comes out.

Can't believe we'r already here!

W00t !

Hello Nokia World

is nokia E75 coming 2morrow ?

"Desktop. Laptop. Pocket" - New E90 replacement?

I never thought of that, Mentalist. Makes sense!

Nseries for sure.

Hi Mr. X!

Oh yeah, missed the bit that says NSeries! Web-focused N-Series, perhaps?

Just have a look at the bottom right corner of this page itself, it saying 'Nseries 2009'.

Exactly!

Physical keyboard + touch is my guess.

Big screen, decent resolution.

And I'm ready to be surprised by the size of the device!

Hi, Vaibhav! I didn't notice the Nseries there 

By the way, guys, what time does the countdown end where you are? It's 8AM for me.

Around 1:30pm for me.

hi everyone.  not long to go now

Anybody here?

yep I'm here

s60 software,5mp camera w/ flash, touchscreen w/ click tech, etc

Just set this up... Be back in a couple of hours

This is going to crazy! E90 replacement is due really - been 1yr already.

N-Series touch? I'd rather Nokia wait on this: but a true 3G world device. 720p Video recording would be sweet for N93 successor.

what kind of phone coming out? hope battery life is good

i think we'll see more than 1 device announced , i cant wait

Hi guys, from my point of view the main objective of this annoucement should be to re-create the nokia magic !

I am a huge nokia fan for years now, and I have been so dispointed buy the last handset (N96 ...) that I even thought about trying the Iphone.

So please guys annouced something that make me dream until February.

i purchase a n85 yesterday, not so pleased. i dont like the led screen i think the n96 screen is much better

Hi to all i live in the USA  i hope the new phones will come to the us i am tired of having to wate for a year after everyone else has the phones i love my n95 8gb

Nokia, just make Apple cry, that's all I ask for.

yea! give them sumting to hurt there guts. i know u can

I dug up some speculative specs that did the rounds a month ago (http://bit.ly/M9Xa), but Scoble's just said on Twitter that "What I've seen tonight from Nokia has, indeed, not been seen yet on the Internet and was pretty surprising to the bloggers."

The mystery deepens! This is starting to out-hype the iPhone (well, almost!). Don't let us down, Nokia

what is Nokia launching tomorrow? Nserioues touchscreen?

Don't care what is it, as long as all the ppl with iPhones that can't transfer data with BlueTooth will drop their jaws saying.. "now i want THAT !".

C'mon guys, surely the 'watch the video stories from Nokia World 2008' link should be pointing to Share on Ovi by now???

Hello everyone!

I live in south florida, What time does this thing start with the big announcement?

Hey!! I am also from south fl!! it will be like 3 o'clock  :(

hi all... why did edward delete his msg?

12am on the west coast, representin LA

anyone else on the west coast?

what about Malaysia?

hi guys, anything interesting?

Hi, 11:08 pm in Costa Rica, 3+ hours left

waiting anxiously in ny

Hello all  

Hi, 6:40 am in Italy. Can't wait anymore :S

2 more hours!

waiting

anxiously in chicago

c'mon nokia. suprise us all

show us nserious touch! with 20mpx camera 3d projection and ability to transform to a tiny robot!

Los Angeles here aswell. Sounds like a new "Service" to me along with a small phone update, but I really hope that I am wrong about it.

I just read some speculation about a new Internet tablet, with a  9" , OLED screen, high resolution, besides a new Nseries flagship device and a "service".

i think there will be a lot of "service" ... or currrent ones enhanced

hopefully it is nationwide/international wifi spectrum

i know nokia and google were interested in something similar

OMG!!

an hour and 48 minutes!!

argh.. i cant wait!!

Getting exciting now!

Nseries Touchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Grrrrr the more I think of it the more I feel this is going to be a huge let down.

Who knows

Lets wait and see.!

I hope this is a NSeries touch device. If it isn't, Nokia, pay attention and look at what the consumers want. Not just from us on here, but from forums across the world.

There will probably be some new Nokia Services no doubt.

Interested in Robert Scoble being so excited about this. As a cynical (and experienced) old b*stard, if he likes it.....

well the thing is, unless he has some inside information on whats going down, he can only speculate along witht he rest of us

of course i dont even know who he is so i could just be talking out of my ass

he does have inside information. Saw what it was the other day, sworn to secrecy and only released the word "wow"

maemo 5 tablet?

Come on, spill.!

i really hope its no a huge let down though......ooh so he got a sneak peek...im jealous

this sounds very exciting.. i have a feeling its going to blow away a lot of things around us.. he he... i wish i could say more

Scoble is one of the great bloggers, collects more people that anyone else (most friends on Facebook, Friendfeed, Twitter etc) Influential and connected

stil here, nothing yet

N97 touch with qwerty

i heard its n97

N97 wiht Qwerty? Yuk! Have seen the Android Phone (wiht touch and qwerty) and didn't like keyboard at all!

check symbian-freak out.

<---has owned 2 Nokia 9500s and an E90....thats a 2700 dollar investment in 3 phones

now im rockin with a t-mobile g1 because im such a google fan....its my geek chic

I currently own 2 x N95-2, 1 x N95-1, an N81 8GB, and an N82 black

jamaican here too

but the development is moving slow so i may need whatever nokia is unveiling to compliment it and make me feel better

<--jamaican...yardman deya

i got n85, and n95

Hello

let me get that n95-2

yea man

thanks in advance lol

N97 is what the new phone is called omg it looks so good

looks?

no images so far

uve seen more than a photoshop rendering of the n97?

Looking forward to seeing this N97

Yup N97 looks promising

cuz so far all i see is an old photoshop from 2005

I've seen a few images but not sure about how trustworthy they are

what does anyone know of the n97

They would be fake lol

because as far as i know its very existence is just speculation

When the hell is this going to begin? can't wait

Ya

35 minutes

http://www.symbian-freak.com/news/008/11/nokia_n97_to_be_released_today.htm

Here is a ps

http://handcellphone.com/wp-content/themes/green-marinee/phonepic/Nokia-N97-Cellular-Phone.jpg

be patient

check that link

smells fake mate sry

Whats up folks?

if it's going to be all touch, nokia should get away with the n*number and go with something like nTouch

http://www.mondotechblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/fullqd4.gif is supposed to be it

no querty keyboard 2

the # is not very marketable... slap a name on it and its instantly more catchy. sad but true. although the g1 ain't doin bad.

you guys are tired, eh

Im guessing that is not it after all

one of my staff just twitted: I am now at the main auditorium of CCIB, Barcelona. The Nokia World 2008 will start soon

these images smell fake

yes it is touch as well

yes majority r

I thought so too

I agree, fake as hell

oh boy!!

*rubs hands together greedily* i have so much faith in Nokia

if that WERE it... epic fail

they wont let us down

those images are not just fake but OLD and fake

hahaha N96 was a bit of let down

even if they were once authentic the device has undoubtedly gone thru some major design changes since then

this chat room has an awkward shape and is pretty irritating in general

I'm an HTC fan so I really hope it's worht the wait whatever it is

n96 was a huge let down

but i figure i'll allow nokia ne or two of thsoe

becasue they tend to deliver

FINALLY sb with the balls to state this

yeh I took INNOV8 over N96

if u can get innov8 that is

HTC fan as in WinMO?

Hey everyone

http://tamss60.tamoggemon.com/2008/12/02/nokia-n96-woes/ my take re n96

I got 1

Yeah

Symbian kicks your ass...sit down

jk

samsung austria press dept has no idea what s60 is

I can't believe how long it took the n96 to arrive.  I played with it at MWC sometime ago and "did feel let down".

i'm wondering if we'll get a "google phone" type fake out at all and this will be more of a software/OS type of shocker. it would be a pleasant surprise but doubtful...

but symbian kicks the shit out of winmo

Dunno why, I just cant seem to stay away from HTC builds lol Hope this will change my mind today

yeh so true

my calculator watch kicks the shit out of winmo

not big fan of Winmo

only htc ive ever owned was a g1

Half hour guys

i cant stand winmo....its so damn laggy

hahah lol

The O/S of WinMo aint great but the phones are

winmo sux

yeah the phones are even better when ported with a better OS

lol obviously it wouldn't be a good time saying I work for a company owned by MS

it there a live webcast?

but i got hear some news says that nokia will come out a phone with vista os

Linux as an os and Android are interesting though

microsoft refuses to grow with teh times...they think they're position is unshakable and they refuse to adapt

thats why winmo still sucks

I agree Swimm

they dont listen to consumer advice or anything

stubborn and pigheaded...this is why google is overtaking them in every market they enter

lol

Took them like ages to create a patch for the SMTP send issue and in the end we had to do it

swimm don't say that even I have a hatred behind MS but I think they are a bit lost after the Vista fail

lol damn

Vista is horrible

Symbian is a good o/s but getting dated now

I think they will fix things up

1 word: Pink

my little brother actually paid 80 dollars extra on his Thinkpad for the "downgrade to XP"

i just bought a brand new desktop that arrives tomorrow. It comes with vista 64 bit and i'm trying to figure out how i can get XP 32 bit on it instead. thats how bad it is.

then again I am hoping

lol lenovo charges extra to downgrade to xp

lolololol

yeh but everybody knew Vista was fail

vista was a poor attempt at trying to be liek apple

So who all works for other website here in the chat then? I'm with http://www.tracyandmatt.co.uk

i'll ask again... is there a live webcast at all?

Vista aint too bad once you get use to it, i had to upgrade my RAM to 4GFB however, to get it working better

I am hoping Win 7 is better though

I write for http://www.nokiausers.net

doesn't kill comp

i skimmed a story earlier that some companies buy old computers just for win xp LOL, it's cheaper

I'm with http://mobileroar.com and http://phandroid.com

or I will move to Linux

see thats microsofts problem...they dotn think fresh or think new...they think "follow something that already works" whether it be from them or from someone else....but they tend to settle with what they think is "good enough"

Zgambit I wouldn't hold out for that lol

i am with tamss60.tamoggemon.com

and they are SOO bad at duplicating macos

You have email TAMHAN

i have to say i use wm too and cant complain too much

how do i make this chatroom bigger? like full screen? ahaha

coming from palm I would have alkl reason to but

MAC O/S is a unix based system

i had it opemn smash and then it ndied

the idiots should switch to good ole IRC imho

thats the thing too many people use Windows which is good and bad

Sup everyone

whattup david

Hi David

welcome david

Hey Dave

hence the reason y Google & Apple, Linux are here

Hi all, am ready

not forgetting Symbian

So excited

anyone knows how to get this in fuillscreen

IRC Chat

]

before android it was the closest thing to open source on a mobile device

time for a quick smoke

that i know of anyway

yeh same here....cigarette b4 the beginning

yeh and Symbian has been out longer

hello

Sybian is boaring though, I like a bit of flash or touch in my life

boring?

u must not mod your phones much

haha too excites

lol

haha i see...jumping the gun a little bit

time 2 eat brb lataz

I do but the thing with Symbian is that it's been arround for so long and it shows

Anyone knows if Nokia World has a mobile website?

cant wait what nokia plays this time

wow terrible timing zgambit haha

i hope you are eating cup-o-noodles

So what do we think the "transforning the way we connect" slogan is for?

telepathic device. no talking, just reading minds.

i think will be moe concentrated at high speed transferring

I like it lol

Ready here, too. Let's hope there is enough bandwidth

symbian keeps up with the times tho....until the iphone debut, id even venture to say that symbian DEFINED the times@ John-TracyandMatt

ok

Im back, and waiting with baited breath now

s80 was great but just not popular

s60v3 is just freakin wonderful

Ok, im ready, lets start the show

Swimm, I'm not saying Symbian is bad in any way, I just think they need to update the O/S and bring it to the 21st Cnetury

lol 19 minutes left Sala (yeh thunder91 i jumped the gun a little bit too with my bad math....it wasnt 19 minutes yet) lol

WOW

Green

Very Green
