When coworker Jon Ståle managed to destroy his Nokia N95 (without sending it up with a kite) we found a very nice fix. Actually so nice that we think a lot of people would want to enhance their N95 with this one.
This will definitely be a very hard competitor to the utterly hyped Apple iPhone.
You Need:
A Nokia N95 or another Nokia phone with video out. The phone does not need to be broken.
Powerful duct tape.
A portable TV with batteries.
A video cable for the TV.
The vide cable to the Nokia Phone.
Then you simply duct tape the TV to your arm and connect the Nokia N95. Hooray! You now have a Nokia N95 with a much bigger screen than the iPhone.
Apple is bragging about the iPhone and Google Maps. Hah! The N95 has a GPS and built-in maps. Looks way cool on the big screen.
«This is the real web». Financial Times on N95. No problem. What’s all this fuzz about the browser in the iPhone?
And you should not forget that you have just extended your N95 with full live TV functionallity. Up with the antenna and tune into «Heroes».
Just to prove that this is no joke we’ve made a quick video that demonstrate the solution.
As we realized here, some work has to be done on the multitouch functionality.
So, off you go to buy some duct tape…

People: It’s a joke. J.O.K.E.
We’re not bitter. I will be first in line to buy the iPhone when/if it comes to Norway. And no, we don’t walk around with tv-sets taped to our arms.
LOL.

[…] Think that iPhone’s screen is great? Yes, indeed. But you can use this ‘hack’ to turn Nokia N95 to a bigger screen. Granted, the “hack” did begin with a broken N95, so strapping a portable TV onto one’s forearm and utilizing the device’s video output was about the only real solution within arm’s reach. via […]

[…] Because the N95 is equiped with video out it was fairly easy to enhance the entertainment effect of my navigation system. The video output can be used for more than utterly stupid experiments. […]
This is the most retard thing I’ve ever seen. Also when considering it as a pr-stunt. sorry
Welcome to the internet. If this is the most retard thing you’ve seen so far you have a lot to look forward to.
It’s not PR, it’s early morning geek fun. Cheer up!
Haha. Herlig post og herlig at noen lar seg bevege negativt av så herlig idioti. Rasende festlig.
Ja. Det har vært morsomt å følge diskusjonen både på Engadget og de andre stedene som har linket hit. Folk har mye energi å bruke på negativitet…
