Advertisements I found this via @MickyFin (originally from @chansearrington) How to get 1 year’s free turn by turn licence on Ovi Maps. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23DHbl8Ye2M] 5 Steps to get your 1 year’s Ovi Maps turn by turn licence Open up Ovi Maps 3.0 on your Nokia phone. Find a landmark – either do this via search or […]
SpeedTester is a simple, free game from the Ovi Store that tests rapid responses and thumb-eye coordination. You have four lights which will light up one at a time. All you have to do is touch the one that is lit. This occurs very slowly at first, and as your points rises, so does the […]
Here’s “Candle” another one of those free apps where it’s just difficult to see any practical use for it. Maybe waving it at a gig? Impromptu candle for a romantic dinner? It’s a realistic candle that you can put out by swiping, and lighting up by double swiping. It works in portrait and landscape though […]
To the average consumer, the N97 and N97 mini are practically the same phone. (Heck, that’s understandable when some people I know can’t even differentiate between manufacturers). Appearance wise, they might as well be. But there are some minor visible differences. The N97 mini looks fractionally smaller than the N97 (for me, not enough to […]
“Lights” is a free application from the Ovi Store for S60 5th edition but it does work best if you’ve got a QWERTY keyboard (i.e. N97 or N97 mini). The application basically controls the lights on your phone, be it the keyboard lights, the red/green call/end keys, screen light or even the charger light. You […]
Holy smokes! The N900 is at a rock bottom price considering it’s Nokia’s highest spec’d Nseries device to date. Not only is it cheaper than the N97 at launch (both SIM free and contract) – it’s cheaper than the N97 on contract right now! Even better is that you have the choice of excellent 24, […]
Aah, the slide to unlock. A side swiping gesture made iconic by the Apple iPhone. No button combinations, holding keys or unlock switches – just a somewhat futuristic thumb-flick to the right. A mate of mine stupidly bought an iPhone (first gen) just for the slide to unlock. N97, 5800, 5530 and other S60 5th […]
This is nothing of major significance. I just like to have some record of start up times (to see in firmware upgrades down the line if it’s improving or not). To make things fair, time starts from “pressing on” until I see the screen (easier to make comparable results this way) For comparison: the N97 […]
My phone’s been off all day, so I’ve only just found my messages from Jussi Makinen kindly answering some more of my questions on the N900 (Very hard to do concisely express questions on twitter). I asked about the video codec support, whether it could play videos without needing the likes of mplayer. – Jussi […]
