Here is a quick video of a Nokia N900 running Windows 95. It’s rolling using the Dosbox for x86 emulator. Apparently the guy who also thought this was able to get Windows 98 running but it’s just a little bit too slow. It’s kind of interesting people are now doing with mobiles that only a couple of years ago was quite impossible and probably impossible to even get a PC running Windows 95 at times if you remember it.

Nokia dual SIM phones

Posted on December 21, 2009 by adminNo Comments

Interesting news recently that Nokia may be planning to release dual sim phones in the second quarter of 2010. We have seen over the past year older mobile manufacturers (Samsung) releasing dual Sim phones into their Asian and East European markets. There has been no confirmation from Nokia that they will definitely be releasing a phone like this and most of the information that has started to appear it really just speculation.

I can definitely see a marketplace for dual Sim phones and there have been many manufacturers who are not global names releasing these homes to the market. To South Korean company Samsung already released a number of models (5) this year which are available in some countries.

I guess we just have to watch this space to see do we get any news from Nokia on this in the next few months.

The Nokia 5130 XpressMusic is really a phone for music lovers. It’s basically a complete music solution as it’s more like a music phone but also comes with a camera, GPS, memory, operating system, emailing and more.

In a nutshell this is a cheap and cheerful phone from Nokia. It does however come with a two-megapixel camera, video camera and a music player which seems to be its main aim can play (MP3, MP4, AAC, eAAC+, and WMA music files).

Internal memory is small at only 30 MB however it does come with a 1 GB card included s so lots of space for storing music. You’ll also find the standard Nokia menu system, which is quite easy to navigate, compared to some other manufacturers.

Overall reviews we have read on this phone seem quite positive. If you’re looking for a gift of a music phone for Christmas this is definitely one worth considering.
