Free Game: Crimson for S60 5th and 3rd edition
This doesn’t seem to work with me, but maybe you can get some fun out of it. “The outcome of the war lies in your hands. You decide which units are sent to the front lines, and when to unleash the reserves. Your mission objectives range from defending strategically vital locations to simply destroying all [...]
Video: Nokia N97 Dummy – have we overlooked the form factor?
Today I picked up a little package sent from Hong Kong. It was a couple of Fake dummy N97; one black one white. Why? Well, I wanted the N97 so badly, this was the only of getting little fix without spending too much on actual N97 clones. This is really a toy version – not [...]
Video: The Phone Show, Episode 80
The latest episode of the Phone Show covers: The E75 Xenon Flash Photography Top 10 iPhone games Interview with Rafe about the N97 Xenon Aah, Steve Litchfield – one of the very few people I could battle in a moan and groan about the importance of XENON in mobile phone photography. I agree whole heartedly [...]
Videos: More Nokia N97 demos!
Here’s the Nokia N97 being demoed at the developer summit. Here it is again, if you so wish, at another angle. There’s nothing to be gained from either video except the noticing the gradual growth of the N97′s UI. I still hate the wasteful menu of S60 5th edition – at least for phones with [...]
Nokia 5800 to be the most successful phone…

Videos and Photos: Nokia N97 and Nokia N86
Mobile-Review has some side by side pictures and a couple of videos of the N97 and N86. The text and audio is in Russian, so you may want to use google translator for the text to get a little gist of what it’s about (not that it helped me understand it one bit). Nevertheless, we [...]
Nokia N97 vs Nokia N86
The s60blog has put the N97 and the N96 into a fight, but which one wins out? I agree with Carlton in basically that it shouldn’t really matter which is the best, but “WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU”. There’s no point honking all out for the N97 if you don’t want a full screen keyboard, [...]
10 things Nokia did wrong in making the 5800
Addressing, coincidentally, yesterday’s “what would you change about the Nokia 5800?” Steve Litchfield from AAS points out 10 things Nokia realistically could have changed about 5800 XpressMusic before release (Instead of the “I would change it by giving it 20 MP with 5000X zoom!!). Fortunately – if one could look at it that way, Steve [...]
What would you change about the Nokia 5800?
Engadget has asked it’s readers, “How would you change Nokia’s 5800 XpressMusic?”. I think for the price, the 5800 packs a lot of punches you’d expect from the high-end and expensive Nseries. But as in everything, there’s always ample room for improvement. It seems though that a lot of the features that people are wishing [...]
Free S60 5th Edition "Game": Dice throwing for the 5800
The author of this first application admits its not very useful, but as you can see from the video below, it demonstrates the sensitivity of the 5800′s accelerometer. It actually works OK too as a replacement for a dice, with motion sensor dependent rotation and fairly good animation for three hours of work. Download this [...]
Free Application: PhoneTorch for 5800 (and other S60 5th Edition with LED flash)
The time when you need torches the most is when they’re hardest to get to – in a black out (or brown out as they oddly call it in the Philippines). And looking for a torch is only useful if you actually own one to start with. No point trying to find the torch to [...]

Accessories: Zipper earphones!
Everyone who’s ever used earphones has experienced the dreaded tangled coiled wires. From the very cheapest to the more audiophile centric flavours, they all suffer from spontaneous self knotting as if it was sentient and just wanted to annoy you. There’s a few solutions out there to prevent tangled wiring, but none as practical and [...]
