Nokia Conversations have posted up that they’ll be releasing updates to several Symbian 3.2 and 5.0 handsets. These are the Symbian phones before Symbian^3 (of which remember, Anna update for August for current customers) http://conversations.nokia.com/2011/06/29/updates-to-symbian-3-2-and-5-0/ What will we be getting?

Sometimes before actually writing a fully fledged review it’s useful to put down some raw impressions first. These immediate reactions of using the Nokia E7 might be able to convey a more vivid image than a perfectly constructed and though-out review. Of course, for every type of article there’s the best time and place. Now [...]
Without much fanfare or any publicity, this Instagram ( the cool iOS app that adds effects and filters to a photo on the fly and shares it on social networks ) look-alike for Symbian devices has been launched in the Ovi Store. It’s a free application and it’s called Molome. Like stop motion videos ? [...]
One of our commenters, Jii, has managed to dig up the UAProfile pages for the upcoming 601T,602T and 702T destined for China. All 3 devices appear to pack TD-SCDMA radios as well as 3 megapixels cameras in addition to the regular Symbian fare. The 601T and 602T appear to have 640 * 360 pixel displays and [...]
Tipped by @umarnagi, this screenshot from forum Nokia support discussions confirming that the Nokia N97 mini is to get a new firmware update – PR2.0. In Q2 2011. I wouldn’t think this is the same PR2.0 that Symbian^3 users are waiting for. Currently, the latest version for N97 mini should be: v12.0.110. I think this [...]
Nokia addresses Chinese character input again with a new app called Nokia Diexie. Instead of having to write one character at a time, you can now write complete sentences. You can try it out on your Symbian^3 or S60 5th Edition devices. No Stylus needed, your finger is your pen. http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/nokia-diexie Nokia Diexie (诺基亚叠写) is [...]
The folks over at Nokia beta labs have brought to us an update to Soundtrckr for Symbian ^3 and S60 5th Edition. If you don’t know what Soundtrckr is, you can find out more on Jay’s earlier post, but the official blurb from Ovi is: Soundtrckr makes it easy to discover and play the music [...]
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 [...]
Fahkre from Symbian Tweet reports that there’s a small software update available for Symbian^1 devices including: 5800, N97, N97 Mini 5230, X6 C6 There appears to be a new “Photos 1.0″ update which Fahkre says now works fast, but the other updates are old. Symbian Tweet

Mood Agent is an automatic Playlist DJ that can configure playlists based on your mood. In fact, if the app seems familiar, that’s because it was previously called Playlist DJ. Why would you want this? Well you might have a bucket load of music on your phone, and when you want to listen to some [...]
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.
I’m sure you guys and in fact the general blogosphere is utterly tired of hearing how awesome Qt is, how much more it brings to the table and specifically how it makes for awesome applications without going through the hassle of native code and quirks (looks at Symbian). Truth be told, I’m tired of seeing [...]
A new 1.5 version of Skype for Symbian has been released. There are no massive changes to be seen, including the continued omission of video calling which to me is indicative of the fact that the 2.0 version is likely to be the announcement Skype is supposedly holding off until CES. Hopefully newer versions of [...]
Earlier this year I wrote a post talking up the progress being made with Jan Ole Suhr’s hit application, Gravity. Just in time for Christmas it seems that Jan has let loose an alpha version of the upgrades coming to his application. Key among them, and probably the most significant is the inclusion of a [...]
When I first looked at the video, I wasn’t actually sure it was meant to be a phone app due to the mass of detail on screen but it is. And it’s for you, S60 5th Edition users. This is a drum machine - essentially what you’re doing is arranging a pattern of beats/instruments [...]
For Nokia 5800 and 5530 users here’s a custom firmware that brings Symbian^3/N8 styling and a few additional extras. Symbian^3 style dialler, Widget homescreen Lots of animation/UI transitions – e.g. portrait/landscape v smooth, moving back/forward in menu looks v. nice. Quite speedy (at most places, bit lag in others) File manager shows hidden files/folders Music [...]
As mentioned in Jay’s previous post in November, today marks the official close of the Symbian foundation websites. While most of our readers likely never had much experience with or exposure to these websites, they posed a major resource for a lot of curious cats like myself who wanted to keep track of progress on [...]
