Video: Nokia C7 Vs Nokia 701, Browser, video, mapping, multitasking
Hey, I noticed this follow up video on Nokia C7 vs Nokia 701 comparison and here wimmerzdenek shows the browser (Anna vs Belle), multitasking (256mb vs 512mb RAM) and video (with 701 supposedly with greater GPU) Faster page loading on 701 Easier web navigation on 701 Still chequerboarding when pinch and zooming but both smooth Real subtle [...]
Video: Symbian Belle, Try something new.
My brain might be fried from the hectic day today, but this video sent in kinda makes little sense. FromNokiaPoland (and probably spreading further) it’s a video about SymbianBelle. True to Nokia style of ads, this really doesn’t show you anything. What they’re trying to say is “try something new”, but to most people they want [...]
Nokia Store in Belle looking Awesome #OviStore
As I understand it, some S60 devices got an updated Ovi Store with the cool new blue look and Ovi Store branding. My N8 hasn’t got this yet, but some folks with Belle seem to. Antonio posted this pic and quite rightly, it’s looking awesome. I very much welcome this classic but cool Nokia blue.
App Highlights – Nokia Windows Phone app at Market Place already
A Nokia made windows phone app is apparently already on MarketPlace, says WMPowerUser. It’s a useful app that shows you some more great apps you might want to download.

Video: WP7-Green Launcher demoed on Nokia N8, Free at Ovi Store.
MMMOOO are famous for making several launchers on Symbian that mimic those of another OS, popular ones being their iPhone and Android shells. It’s interesting to note that they’ve gone and made one for Windows Phone. They call it, “WP7 Green Launcher” and it’s available at Ovi Store for free. I’ve downloaded it for my [...]
Mini Swipe Game
There’s a mini swipe game on the Nokia Norway page. A bit like Dance Dance Revolution (or perhaps guitar hero) you’ve got arrows/keys coming down which you have to press. But not just pressing, you have to swipe in that direction. If not, the icon explodes. It’s not really anything serious. Once you ‘win’ or [...]

You will soon be able to send facebook messages within fMobi. One of the few remaining features requested by fMobi users. Seems Juuso has finally managed to [...]

Marko Ahtisaari at N9 launch, South Africa. More swipe to come
There are a couple of videos from Nokia South Africa (I think identical, just with different titles). It’s Marko Ahtisaari at the launch event in South Africa, discussing the N9. Most of it we’ve heard before. An interesting bit is the question on future designs. “What does the future of mobile device designs look like?” [...]

Could a Belle update already be in the works?
fyzANDme tipped in last week about a “confidential” Nokia promo video for Belle, advertising that it will be coming to S^3 handsets. This is no new news. However, what’s in the video is. I have noticed that the interface differs from the one I have flashed on my N8, as well as that demoed on [...]

From Nokia Maps to Ovi Maps to Nokia Maps. The Nokia Maps team wants to say thank you to all who have given them feedback through the Beta Labs project. It’s interesting to see how far Nokia Maps has come. From the S60 3rd portrait version to the Belle-like view above. As well as appearance, [...]
