Our friends at WOM World are hosting a get together of Nseries fans in the London area later this week. Regular readers will be familiar with this group as hosts of many events that help get the word out on the world of Nokia Nseries products and services. WOM World is a wealth of resources on the Nseries universe, linking of all the news, reviews and discussion that they find as they scour the Internet day and night to keep Nokia users connected to the word on the street as told by the people that use the devices. If it’s buzzing in the Nokia blogosphere, it’s on WOMWorld.com . That being said, the wonderful people at WOM World have proven time and time again that they can effortlessly exceed graciousness when they host an event and are genuinely a fantastic group of people all around. If you’re in the London area, you want to clear next Wednesday the 5th of March from your calendar. It all goes down about 6:30pm at the Old Crown Pub in London near Holborn. There is no reservation required, and all Nseries fans are warmly invited by WOM World to share drinks with other Nseries enthusiasts.

Ryan Gallagher will be making a stop there on his leg of the Urbanista Diaries to do something called a ‘camera toss’. Whatever this is, you’re most likely better off watching his demo at the Old Crown Pub on Wednesday rather than taking this pastime on as your own. Several other Nokia bloggers hail from the London area- the expected guest list may include Jay and Christian from MyNokiaBlog.com ,  faces from AllAboutSymbian.com and others. My buddy Ricky Cadden seems to have word that Whatleydude, the Jaiku and SpinVox evangelist will be making an appearance. Sharing a pint with this absolute top-notch bloke will be well worth the price of admission alone, which is only to tell everyone that PseudoFinn says hello. ;)

If you’re in the area, you’re not gonna want to miss out on what is sure to be a great time with drinks, discussion with other Nokia - and no doubt the crew from WOM World will be bringing some devices along for you to play with.

Here’s a map for anyone out there who hasn’t installed Maps 2.0 yet. :-)

And the crew from WOMWorld of course. Donna, Robbie and Richard will be there- perhaps others...? At any rate, the way this guest list is shaping up- it's no doubt the "can't miss" Nseries event of the month! If you're in London- drop in, say hello and enjoy a pint with fellow Nokia addicts. :)

According to an article on InformationWeek, Nokia has teamed up with University of Cambridge to create an incredible concept for a phone, called Morph.  This truly shows the ideas behind the great minds at Nokia where they need to be headed.

The idea behind Morph, is that is uses a form of flexible materials along with nanotechnologies to create an elasticity type product.  It will be transparent and have self cleaning surfaces.  As you can see by the images after the jump this little puppy can be folded almost anyway.  I like it best laying flat like a LCD screen. 

"Nokia Research Center is looking at ways to reinvent the form and function of mobile devices; the Morph concept shows what might be possible," said Bob Iannucci, Nokia's CTO, in a statement.

Nokia said what they have taken away from this concept is that some of the features maybe able to be a part of high end mobile products and also the use of nanotechnology could lower costs of device within, and yes this disappointed me, 7 years.  Who has seven years to wait for this thing, I was thinking it should come out Q4. Do you think Nokia is on the right track?

If you want to check out this god of a phone, the concept is featured at The Museum of Modern Art in New York City from February 24 to May 12, as part of the "Design and the Elastic Mind" exhibition.

The true replacement for the N73 is definitely on the way. The N78 is a great leap forward from the N73 in several areas- starting with the battery life. Up from the N73's 1050mAh battery is the 1200 mAh capacity of the N78. This allows for nearly another 10 hours of audio playback on the N78 with a quoted 24 hours of continuous audio playback over the N73's 14-15 hours. Even with the FM transmitter in constant use, you'll be seeing 19 hours of playback time. These are impressive figures.

As far as imaging goes- the N78 is not in the pixel race, instead Nokia wanted to improve the ability for users to actually do something with the images. This is where the one-click sharing comes in, allowing a user to instantly upload any image to Ovi Share, Flickr, Vox, etc. Geotagging is now available out of the box with the use of an integrated AGPS module in the device, which does well to add more to the experience. One thing that would be nice to see would be auto uploading, but there's no word on that- at least it's not currently planned to be a feature.
