Advertisements I’ve shown you how to select which browser you want to act as default, using an app. Sadly, Opera which we brought to your attention yesterday (as well as Helium Web Browser) doesn’t register on this app. To make it your default, follow the instructions below. As always, no responsibility if you brick your […]

If you follow me on twitter, you’d see that today Nokia Australia gave me an N950 after talking to some people at the Lumia Launch. Anyway, I have PR 1.2 (and will probably give you a guys a run through of it, as well as comparison of it with N9) and went to enable landscape […]

Jay showed you guys that there was a hack to change the background , and today I am showing you the simplest way to get it enabled, regrettably using the Apple line “there’s an app for that.” The app is called Home Screen Background Settings, and is a GUI that allows the user to change […]

A few hours ago I was privileged with attending the Sydney launch of the Nokia Lumia 800 (and also the 710, which was announced at the event). Although, like most die hard Nokia fans, I knew most of the stuff they were talking about and could answer almost any question, I still learnt a few […]

N9Apps: QNeptunea (QT Twitter Client)

| February 13, 2012 | 8 Replies

This came up in my Timeline on Saturday and I thought I’d leave this for during the week. Apparently there is ANOTHER Twitter client for the N9/50. As expected being a QT app, is extremely fluid. To me, it is way faster than the native client, both in connecting to a network and retrieving tweets, […]

I got to trial these alongside the Play 360, again, thanks to the PR Agency behind Nokia here in Australia. It isn’t the normal style of headset I’m used to. I really wanted to try it just because it had NFC. The pairing, as always with NFC is good, better than I expected. (Equally as […]

When I saw Jay’s post about the Feb 11 announcement, I thought, wow, never would have thought about writing something like that. Slowly over the day, looking on my Twitter timeline, there were posts from the Nokia bloggers I follow (or “stalk” as I like to say) about the same thing. I had a look […]

Like the N900, there is attempts to bring Android to the N9. Been in contact with a dev over Twitter recently, DrunkDebugger, and he has gotten quite a lot done. He has even recently developed a method for untethered booting into Alternate OS. If you are interested, read about it here. Anyway, what I wanted […]

I know these have been out for a while, but I hadn’t seen too many reviews of it. Thanks to Nokia Australia’s PR Agency, I was able to get one to trial and bring you a review on. I have a video that re-iterates everything I say in this post so if you prefer to […]
