MIR Show N97 debate

Saturday, December 6th, 2008

05122008003

This evening, after doing our ShoZu campaign videos (the introductory ones), Dan and Ben arrived.

“I want to discuss the N97,” he says, as he arrives.

“Sure,” I say, looking at Ben who is already nodding his head.

Within minutes the chaps are sat down in front of the camera and we’re getting to heated banging of tables. I take to raising my hand in the air after we’ve recorded a minute - the first five takes are all excellent, until one of the two makes another interesting point that diverts conversation or fluffs a line, stutters and … CUT.

The summary? Dan is a fan. He’s excited. He thinks the S60 followers - the die-hard Nohhhhkeeeahh fans - will love. Frothing at the mouth style.

Ben, on the other hand, thinks that the failure to innovate (”Look at every other competing OS, upgrade, continuous improvement”) may well send Nokia’s smartphone marketshare into freefall.

Still many more months until the N97 hits our shelves. In fact, it might just be going through testing right now at the Nokia Test Lab we visited the other week. We will have the vid up shortly!

Who should sponsor the MIR Show?

Monday, November 24th, 2008

We’re busy trying to think of good companies to approach to discuss sponsorship with for the MIR Show. I’m thinking of having a 20-30 second ad in front of everything we do — maybe voiced and delivered by us.

Who do you reckon we should approach?

Handset makers, always difficult.

Handset insurance company? Maybe.

Gadget makers? Maybe the Proporta chaps.

Any suggestions?

MIR Show - Week 44 - Exclusive! Victoria & David Beckham at the Symbian Smartphone Show

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

Yes, we were the envy of the world’s entertainment media the other week when we scooped the news that Victoria and David Beckham, fresh from LA, were seen taking in the sights at the Symbian Smartphone Show.

Dan Lane and Ben Smith were on the scene with me behind the camera to capture the joy.

Our joy tripled when we noticed Del Boy — replete with his rather old brick of a mobile. I kid ye not…. !

Nokia E63 spotted at the Smartphone Show

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

We met Mauricio of Visto walking round the Symbian Smartphone Show last week and — well — you could hear an audible squeak of excitement from us as he brought out a Nokia ‘Exx’.

That’s right.. it’s an E— something. We thought it could possibly be the E63 — and Mauricio did let slip that name.

We’ll publish the vid shortly but meantime… here’s the Exx next to the E71…

… And a closer look …

And you can view the video of it being loved and feted by the Mobile Industry Review Show team here.

MIR Show Week 42 featuring the iMovio iKit

Monday, October 20th, 2008

Here, then, is the exclusive look at the all new iMovio iKit device. It’s intended as a mobile companion device to work alongside your average RAZR or Nokia S40 handset. The target market is very much teenagers and youth who aren’t in the market for an expensive smartphone, but who would like easy internet browsing, IM and email, without having to grapple with the on-device rubbish.

We also visit the Digital Winter event and catch some really, really funky mobile charging equipment (I really like the idea of having a £300 mobile powerstation wherever I am) and, amongst others, you can see the chaps literally lusting after the new Sennheiser bluetooth headset and base station.

Since James was abroad on business for SpinVox most of the week, we had to film without him, thus it falls to me to say:

Cue up MIR Show 42… and roll credits!

This week’s MIR Show coming soon

Monday, October 20th, 2008

This week’s MIR Show is uploading as I type; but unfortunately — there is no James Whatley this week. He had other work commitments that took him flying across Europe. But we’ll be back with the full team next week.

The big news with today’s episode is an exclusive of iMovio’s iKit device. We’ll have the video online in an hour or so — but meantime, take a look at the preview here.
