Advertisements Theme of Rant/Suggestion: 2 parts – Sidebar & Icons in menu Have you been watching Nokia World 09 Online? Perhaps you’re actually there? Some big announcements of devices we’ve already heard of (Booklet 3G /N97 mini/n900), and some new ones too (X6, X3). But something a lot more interesting for current S60 5th edition […]

I didn’t get a chance to post anything yesterday as I was busy revising for an exam (for today -14-08-09) It went quite well, with the questions I had hoped and anticipated for actually coming up this time. Score! Anyway, whilst I was revising for the topic of Xenopus laevis T3 metamorphosis, I kept on […]

James Burland from Nokia Creative has been putting the N86 (from Steve Litchfield) under a few tests. In his latest post, he checks out extreme low light performance using the built in Dual LED flash (which Nokia claims is “70% more powerful than previous Dual LED solutions”), and compares it with: the might Xenon of […]

Video: The Phones Show – Episode 87 – Your favourite phone at the moment?

| August 10, 2009 | Reply

Episode 87 takes a break from Steve’s news and reviews of the phone world, instead shifting the limelight to his PhonesShow viewing audience as they reveal which phone they’re using right now, and why they love it. It’s a strong Nokia showing, but then again, Steve is from All About Symbian :). [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HE_1nLyBChA] via 3lib […]

How do you access your contacts? (How Nokia should improve contact search in S60 5th edition)

How do you access your contacts? (How Nokia should improve contact search in S60 5th edition)

[polldaddy poll=1849042] Vote as applicable. One of the easiest tasks on Nokia phones was getting to your contacts. Type a few letters of the name as you would in a text message, i.e. via alphanumeric keypad, and possible names are suggested, narrowing down the choices the more letters you typed. No more lengthy scrolling. Annoyingly, […]

Nokia N97 Mini (NXX/N97i/N97 Lite?) coming Q4 2009?

| August 2, 2009 | 4 Replies

Back in mid-June, rumours had started to trickle around about the “N97 Mini” coming to our shores soon via Vodafone. No images or details were given, except that it was apparently going to be “competitively priced” and could be available later this year. Recently, photos have been circulating of that supposed N97 Mini, yet it […]

I just read an email from the WOM crew [the Don ;)]inviting me to a “virtual Q&A session” to discuss the latest firmware release (V11.0.021), where we see the N97 going in the future and what we’d like to see in future updates. This will take place on Thursday. I’m absolutely shattered right now and […]

Self harming Nokia N97 lens cover: Automatic lens cover in future please?!

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 […]

Video: Nokia – What is an "unlocked" device?

| July 20, 2009 | 4 Replies

This video may strike you as mundanely obvious. Well, for practically all of you that may read this, it is. With Nokia not being able to get a strong foothold in the US, much to do with poor carrier support, Nokia takes a spin on things on why you should get an unlocked device.
