Advertisements The 5530 XpressMusic is Nokia’s latest touch screen for the masses. It’s pretty much the same as the super successful 5800 except notably: +Faster Processor +Software Tweaks -Smaller Screen -No GPS [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRSUkEXMmtY] The 5530 is also the first Nokia to demonstrate kinetic scrolling within the contacts phonebook. It looks just as smooth as it […]

Last week when I was checking out the Ovi Store, 9 of these apps were on my recommended page, with the 10th one app’s related download section. You may have seen them elsewhere before, on different download locations, but now they’re all available through Ovi (well at least versions of them anyway) – great for […]

According to O2 CPW loyalty department, Carphone Warehouse O2 will not be picking up the Nokia N97 as it has failed all their software tests. I don’t exactly rate the reliability of that source, but apparently this is their latest excuse as to why O2 Carphone Warehouse still hasn’t got the Nokia N97. Additionally, Orange […]

How to: Ultimate calibration method for your Nokia N97's compass (side issue with N97 not getting GPS fix at all)

One of Mark Guim’s readers, RobertH, may have found the best solution for calibrating the Nokia N97. We’ve previously seen the Symbian World guys’ “wrist twist”, allowing compass calibration within 3 seconds. Later, Mark found a more subtle calibration method – but that required turning auto rotate off, which I was not prepared to be […]

An issue that has been brought up by many N97 users is how the lens cover for the N97 actually scratches the N97. So much so that it’s reached the What Mobile guys who’ve asked Nokia for a statement to explain why this is happening to the N97. Whilst after a month of usage I […]

This tutorial for movie making on the Nokia N97 comes from the Vodafone UK peeps. (Shame Nseries lost video editing function) [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXaGr7uYHlk] The N97 can capture DVD-like quality video – that’s either 4:3 VGA (640×480) or a more cinematic looking 16:9 nHD (640 x 358) true widescreen. Videos taken by the N97 are really solid […]

The Nokia N97 and the HTC Touch Pro2 are two similar looking devices with very similar array of features. I was very impressed with the spec sheet of the Touch Pro2, and back in April felt that it’s what the N97 should have been, at least in terms of being having a better QWERTY keyboard, […]
