Advertisements Digital zoom – probably the first thing you ever hear when you first start using any sort of digital camera is NOT to use it. Take the photo/video and crop it when you get the file to your computer. Now this is still true for photos. The only thing the digital zoom is good […]

The Nokia N97 has a compass mainly for rotating your maps to align with the roads/surroundings as you turn your phone. It doesn’t rotate instantly towards north like a real compass – and so, needs a bit of calibration, which according to the manual, the method is to swing your phone in an 8-shape like […]

From moubail.com is this free “match’em game”, where the aim is to match multiple icons on the screen. It’s touch based (though a little flakey) but for N97 users you can also use the D-Pad. It’s a little harder than it looks, as you’ve got to put some thought into what order you’re going to […]

Note: this is actually written entirely on a Nokia N97 using wordpress and GSM data. Thank God for wordpress’ auto save function as a few mispressed links took me away from the page (pressing back leads you to a blank post). If you can read this, then the title of the title is misleading, right? […]
