Nokia BH-803 Bluetooth Headset
If you love cheap nokia phones as much as we do here, then we are pretty sure that you will like the newest and coolest Nokia Bluetooth Headset. This design is one of the most unique on the market, after all who doesn’t have 3 Jabra’s in there drawer already?
Now this is brand new so they are not going cheap, but you can save about $50 if you buy it off of amazon.com
Anyhow this thing is really cool and of course has all the top of the line features that you should only expect from Nokia. You got noise cancellation and all of that, on this sleek little Bluetooth device, not to mention a rather long battery life as well!

Nokia Booklet 3G To Hit Best Buy in November
Oct 14th
The Booklet 3G will set you back at least $779.
First, sorry about the lack of updates in the past few weeks. I’ve been super busy with work, (other people’s) weddings, and just general stuff. I’m trying to get the Nokia ball rolling again though.
Meanwhile, the latest news on the wireless front is Nokia’s announcement of the Nokia Booklet 3G, coming exclusively to Best Buy stores in mid-December.
The Booklet 3G is, of course, Nokia’s grand entrance into the netbook game, one already cluttered with a number of competitors from every corner of the earth. But even though it’s technically 2 years late, the Booklet comes armed with some pretty impressive features you won’t find on most netbooks these days: 3G, A-GPS, Windows 7, 12 hours of battery life, and HDMI.
This comes at a price: retail for the Booklet 3G is 575 Euros, or $836. That’s if you buy it unsubsidized. However, if you buy it from everyone’s favorite retailer Best Buy, you’re looking at completely different pricing: it’s $299 out-the-door, with a required AT&T Data Connect 2-year contract. Data Connect comes in three flavors: $20 for 10MB, $40 for 200MB, and $60 for 5GB (per month). What, no unlimited plans? And 10MB, in this day and age, is a complete joke.
So at the absolute cheapest, the Nokia Booklet 3G will set you back $299 + $480 for the 2-year contract, to the tune of $779 bucks. That would get you the glass-and-aluminum netbook and 2 years of 3G with a limit of 10 megabytes a month.
If you’re interested, get to your local (or online) Best Buy on October 22nd – that’s the first day preorders will start for the Booklet 3G. I honestly do not see too many takers right now.
There are still some unanswered questions, like: does the Best Buy exclusivity for the North American version also apply to the NokiaUSA store? Can you buy the Booklet 3G in the USA without some ridiculous Data Connect plan? Will AT&T offer some kind of unlimited plan for a reasonable price? And when the hell is the N900 coming out?

Dealing With a Really, Really Annoying N97 Bug
Oct 5th
On one hand, it’s nice to see that one of my earlier posts, The Complete N97 Bug List is bursting with activity. On the other, that can’t be good news for the N97, or for Nokia, since it means people are having lots of problems.
If the comments are anything to go by, I’ve been lucky. Other users have reported random crashes/hangs/reboots, alarms that go off later than they should, battery life issues, specific problems with apps like Facebook, and other fun stuff. It’s interesting to note, though, that many of these issues are from non-NAM versions of the N97.
But this post is about one specific issue that I think deserves its own post because it’s so absurdly ridiculous.
I have a default ringtone that I use for all callers, and a number of ringtones that I use for specific contacts. The default ringtone is NOT the Nokia ringtone, it’s a nice, soothing piano tune. Unfortunately, my N97 has decided to, roughly 90% of the time, play the standard Nokia tune whenever ANYONE calls, despite all of my changes. The other 10% of the time, it will play the correct ringtone and then laugh. (I guess this is revenge for always thinking the Nokia tune was one of the cheesiest melodies ever)
This problem started appearing after I installed the v12 firmware. I’m also not the only user with the problem, although I do regret previously reading people’s comments with the same problem and thinking “well, that doesn’t happen to MY N97…”
There is some good news on the horizon. A new v20 firmware has been confirmed by a number of sources, and even though there’s no official release date, there’s a lot of talk and speculation about it coming sometime in October, and possibly sometime soon.
I do, however, still think that the N97 is a very capable phone despite a number of problems and a sub-par user interface.

Nokia N900 for $588.99 at Amazon
Be sure to check out my Nokia N97 vs. N97 Mini vs. N900 Comparison Table post for more info on the specs, as well as how the N900 fares against two other high-end phones.
If you’ve missed the previous N900 posts, let me break down the pros and cons of the device:
Pros
- Runs Linux-based Maemo 5, which is almost certainly a step up from S60 Fifth Edition.
- Has the most impressive feature set of any Nokia phone to date.
- 9 hours of battery life on GSM.
Cons
- 3G available on T-mobile service only. The biggest drawback to this device and why I can’t buy it. I’m on AT&T. (note that you’ll still get EDGE on AT&T, if you can live with that)
- Resistive, but not capacitive screen. Not too big of a deal for me, as the N97 has proved to have a fairly sensitive resistive display.
- It’s big.
