Patiently Waiting to be Excited
After a few months off the grid, I thought it best to offer a short post to show Jay, Andre and the rest of the MNB gang that I’m still around… With my next upgrade coming up in the first few months of 2011, I’ve been pondering my options for my next handset. I’m keen to stick [...]

Here are some blurry video demoes of assassins creed demoed on the Nokia N8 by chavero115, cyberdri and Camb078.

4 Million Nokia N8′s sold says Bloomberg: Symbian^3 on track for 50 million?
The 12MP Symbian Flagship, has apparently reached 4 million sales. I don’t know how accurate these figures are. The last time Nokia numbers were publicised, they were wrong (N900 selling only 100,000 when that was the figure in a few weeks – a geek “niche” device for tinkering, not for the masses which Nokia claims [...]
Update released for Skype: Still no video calling
A new 1.5 version of Skype for Symbian has been released. There are no massive changes to be seen, including the continued omission of video calling which to me is indicative of the fact that the 2.0 version is likely to be the announcement Skype is supposedly holding off until CES. Hopefully newer versions of [...]

Nokia's Ovi servers down?
I’m hoping that this is an isolated incident based on my current location, but I’ve been experiencing a bit of difficulty accessing the applications available at the Beta Labs website due to issues with my Ovi Login. I’ve also attempted to download a number of apps in the Ovi Store and have been met with [...]

Video: Spider-Man: Total Mayhem on Nokia N8
A few days ago we saw that Spider-Man: Total Mayhem was available for Symbian^3 devices like the Nokia N8. However, with no video demo, I wasn’t sure what it actually looked like given the small download size stated from Gameloft’s site. However those sizes were similar with other hugely entertaining and visually blessed games, like [...]
