Lumiappaday #82: Tanks Classic demoed on the Nokia Lumia 800
Here’s another game that I recorded a while back but had not got around to publishing. This one is called Tanks classic and it’s a tribute of sorts to the classic Tank game (Nintendo’s Battle City?) that you guys really liked on S60 3rd edition. You can play their own arcade version or bring it [...]

Lumiappaday #80: ESPN on the Nokia Lumia 800
Another Nokia/Lumia exclusive app for WP, today we take a look at ESPN for WP (on the market place you can find ESPN ScoreCenter and ESPN news, but ‘ESPN’ can only be found on your Lumia Phone under ‘Nokia Collections’); which is why there is no real “developers blurb” and the link below is dead [...]

We received an email from Srikanth (Thanks!) who shared some screenshots of Skype on Symbian Belle. Not sure how you guys can get this but Rahul tipped in (cheers) of a thread at Nokia discussion forum where a Nokia staff said as an update for Belle devices, Skype might appear Q1 2012. http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/t5/Phone-Applications/Skype-for-701/m-p/1243307#M24784 Thank you Srikanth and [...]
Skype For Windows Phone (Private) Beta coming soon?
Finally! Reports say that Microsoft is bringing Skype to Windows Phone. It has been expected for some time now, seeing as Microsoft owns the service. Having Skype may see WP as a real competitor in the smartphone race, since it can essentially become the OS that “connects people” due to its already deep integration of [...]
Lumiappaday #79: StraySperm demoed on the Nokia Lumia 800
Here’s another simple but fun game to pass the time. It’s called Stray Sperm, a somewhat odd name and angle for a game but bear with me. You as the sperm navigate by way of moving the phone around and letting the accelerometer control where you’re going. You have bacteria and viruses to avoid, but [...]
N9Apps: CutePress ( WordPress App )
Seeing as MyNokiaBlog is powered by WordPress, I thought it would be only fitting to bring a WordPress app to your attention. I was looking at Nokia Conversations and I found this app. ( Also a WP version is on the site. See source for link.) I really like it. It is simply to use, [...]

Lumiappaday #78: Periodic Table Pro demoed on the Nokia Lumia 800
Lumiappaday #78 is a Periodic Table app called Periodic Table Pro. Not sure what the Pro is for since there’s no paid version (ad supported only). This is a panoramic Periodic Table of Elements, useful perhaps for those studying Chemistry or related subjects. Clicking on the any element brings up a panoramic page of details [...]

How Long Lumia Phone? Video Series
Dear MNB readers, During CES 2012, we reported on Microsoft’s Smoked By A Windows Phone challenge (Link) where MS demonstrated WP7 Mango’s ability to perform everyday tasks quicker than most smartphones/OSes. Well, those series of events inspired me to make a few videos of the things that I use my Lumia 710 for each day and [...]
Video: Finnish Darth Vader and Lightsaber app for Symbian (Nokia Lumia-testaaja)
I’ve seen seeing a lot of Finnish videos titled ”Nokia Lumia-testaaja” so I’m guessing there’s some kind of competition to test a Nokia Lumia? (Google likes to translate it as Snow tester). More info on that seems to be here: http://aani.nokia.fi/2012/01/12/sinustako-nokia-lumia-testaaja/ One of the entries (Which Nokia Suomi commented on) shows a Finnish Darth Vader and [...]
Lumiappaday #77: Vädret on the Nokia Lumia 800

Vädret allows you to save [...]

Lumiappaday #76: Bouncy Mouse demoed on the Nokia Lumia 800
Bouncy Mouse is a very bright, colourful, great looking game that’s simple and fun to play. Your mouse has to collect cheese and kick the cat in the face at the end (or something). To collect cheese, you have to swing in between points by pulling the mouse back like it’s on a sling shot [...]
Microsoft Lync, One Note and Office available for Belle?
First, I am not sure this is the case but the tipster is a regular one so I’m trusting that this was the case for them. Apparently upon connecting the Nokia 701 through Nokia Suite, the Microsoft apps promised for Symbian Belle that we heard about in September became available today as an update. [...]
Lumiappaday #75: Monster Stack, demoed on the Nokia Lumia 800
Here’s one of many apps of this stacking style. I liked the colourful nature of this one and the monster theme. All you have to do is choose where to drop your monster blocks and make sure it balances for at least the defined time. There are other game modes in addition to going through [...]
