Advertisements One of the really nice features in Symbian^3 is the AMOLED screen can always show the time even when the screen is locked (or you can have some other screensaver). I find this incredibly useful – when checking the time, I can just glance without unlocking. It will also show any notifications, like missed […]

In countries like the US, Singapore and formally Australia, unfortunately, the default warranty available was 12months with an extra year available […]

The folks at Windows Phone Developer Blog have been kind enough to put together a list of all the significant number, statistics and observations made since Microsoft’s announcements  MIX 2010 concerning the Windows Phone 7 application development framework and tools.

We’ve seen the AR drone being controlled by the Nokia N900. Now you can control your Symbian^3 powered device, complete with camera feedback from the quadrocopter back to your, say, Nokia N8. The app is available at Ovi Store, but of course, you would need to get a compatible QuadroCopter first too :p http://store.ovi.com/content/109585 Longer […]

ThePhoneArena folks review the Nokia Astound (aka C7). It’s a pretty good review, covering a broad range of points including the often missed call quality/reception/battery life.
