With all the news about the N9 and leaked Belle prototype units the news about an improved C5-00 has passed us by a bit. Nokia didn’t really make a whole load of fuss about it either since it was quitly launched through their press channel. However the way this new and improved C5 came into [...]
Gotta love twitter! This recent news was broken a few hours back but has completely taken over the twitter-verse in the past hour or two. According to the people at Qt- labs this new release is the marriage of the Nokia Qt SDK and the previous Qt SDK based on Qt 4.7. Barely a day [...]
CJ from ZOMGitsCj has just posted the news that quite a few of Nokia’s “lower-end” devices have received firmware updates. The devices with updates include the C7, C5, C5-03, X3-02 and the 5250. The majority of these updates are minor at best but may contain changes to a few of your gripes and issues with the [...]
In the upheaval that was our move to self-hosting and the associated problems we missed a few days of news and happenings, of note was the news that Ovi Suite 3.0, the desktop syncing, messaging and firmware update client for Nokia’s devices had moved out of Beta and into a full release.
As mentioned in Jay’s previous post in November, today marks the official close of the Symbian foundation websites.

The question is why? Why is it that Nokia get constantly lambasted for [...]

SYMBEOSE: Symbian the Embedded Operation System for Europe is a new initiative led by the EU and a number of major European corporations such as Nokia, ST-Ericsson and a host of others, including academic organisations with the major objective of improving the Symbian OS in order to take it above and beyond it’s current [...]
While this is by no means an empirical test, I’ve seen mention in a number of places on the web that the main reason for the dismal performance of the Symbian Web browser is the lack of adequate CPU power, I can categorically say that this is a false assumption. I’m currently using a [...]
Well that’s something none of us expected. Given Nokia’s push for MeeGo as their singular high-end solution to compete with (read: crush) iOS and Android and the amount of buzz that has been generated both within and external to the company about this coming OS, it’s rather surprising that one of the most important men [...]

Some of the key take-aways from his video [...]
