I know a few of you hate any Eldar Murtazin related posts – but regardless of what’s occurred in the past he does still enjoy poking the bull and does come out with, let’s say, “interesting” snippets of insider info. Just now he’s tweeted that the new up and coming browser is not appearing until [...]

Video: @janole and Gravity's pretty awesome Portrait keyboard.
I’m sure a lot of us here have heard, at least at some point, about the awesome social networking client gravity. The new client being developed for S^3 devices primarily, seems to be taking a departure from the default text input options available for S^3. A key bit of work being undertaken by @janole (creator [...]
Nokia E7 Scheduled Shipping Date: December 10 (2010:p)
Early today @Nokia tweeted that: “E7 is scheduled to ship starting from Dec10. Exact availability varies country-by-country” UPDATE: Mark at TheNokiaBlog says Dec10 Means December 2010. Not December 10 2010. So for all we know another end of the month type trick to still be within the said time frame. Like N8 shipping 3rd Quarter [...]

Video: Nokia E7 Proto Camera
I found some old videos uploaded during Nokia World 2010 that I somehow forgot to post about. This first one shows the Proto Nokia E7 Camera. It’s not autofocus and as you’ll see here I had problems taking a non blurry shot of folks. This was possibly due to the camera shake. If I remember [...]

Video: SPB Mobile Shell on the Nokia C7
SPB Mobile Shell as you knnow basically revamps the Symbian User Interface. Here it is on jaloh567‘s Nokia C7, shot in very clear 720p by a Canon 500D. BTW, I really like the on screen menu button. My housemate’s Satio on Orange has that. I don’t really see the need for “Options” and such a [...]

Nimbuzz is one of those must-install applications for Symbian. It allows you to add all your IM clients so you can chat and even call (if service applicable) from your phone. You can even make Nimbuzz Out calls to standard landline or mobile numbers. What I also love about Nimbuzz is that it looks after [...]
