There’s no N9 to confirm or deny his speculated rumours but PR2.0 is most definitely still not here with regards to supposedly coming out in a couple of weeks […]

Barcode scanners – nifty little things if you can bother to open the app other than that gimmicky inspired moment when you try it out to see if it actually works. You need to get it in focus though to get the image right. That takes time for the focusing to get it perfect. Some […]

Free Nokia Astound! (With contract, T-Mobile USA)

Deaconclgi sends this in. I’m not sure about where you are but in the UK, free phones on contract are quite the norm, though in the US, less so. I always furrow my eyebrows when seeing “Phone X for $100 OR $50” when it’s tied to a contract and thus usual for that to be […]

So. Royal Wedding huh? Here’s something cool and Nokia related again. CNN using the brand new Ovi Maps 3D to showcase the route of the Royal Wedding in London.

Request: Refund for apps which fail to install please, Nokia Ovi Store!

Ovi Store has come suuuuch a long way from the very first hair pullingly bad iteration. It’s grown to 30,000+ apps with 5million daily downloads, equivelant to almost 2 Billion a year. The client for S^3 at least is a joy to use. Very quick, simple installation options. But there are still some snags. 1) […]
