How to: Improving the menu layout of your N97 for faster application access

Wrote this post a few weeks back but somehow never got round to ‘publishing’ it. After deep resetting the N97 and finding out “restore from memory card” did not restore my menu layout (as it did on 3rd edition), I got stuck in using the old S60 default menu layout, which was/is a pain! S60 […]

This will take place on Thursday. I’m absolutely shattered right now and […]

Russell Jefferies from MobileBurn put’s Nokia’s “flagship camera phone”, the Nokia N86, under the scrutiny of review. To find out why the N86 received a “Highly Recommended” rating, you can either check out the 6 page article and/or watch the 3 part video review: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Niu-SLmztt8] [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJQOoPULnrg] [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyYq2JZ5VQ4] For me, the N86 is one of, if […]

The 5530 XpressMusic is Nokia’s latest touch screen for the masses. It’s pretty much the same as the super successful 5800 except notably: +Faster Processor +Software Tweaks -Smaller Screen -No GPS [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRSUkEXMmtY] The 5530 is also the first Nokia to demonstrate kinetic scrolling within the contacts phonebook. It looks just as smooth as it is […]

According to O2 CPW loyalty department, Carphone Warehouse O2 will not be picking up the Nokia N97 as it has failed all their software tests. I don’t exactly rate the reliability of that source, but apparently this is their latest excuse as to why O2 Carphone Warehouse still hasn’t got the Nokia N97. Additionally, Orange […]

One of Mark Guim’s readers, RobertH, may have found the best solution for calibrating the Nokia N97. We’ve previously seen the Symbian World guys’ “wrist twist”, allowing compass calibration within 3 seconds.
