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? Anna Browser Well, first and foremost, amazingly, we’re getting the new Symbian Anna web [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Hey all, it’s LLAADD again! It looks like the people over at Nokia Beta Labs are really working hard to get us all some nice things before x-mas as they have just churned out yet another update and this time it is in the form of Nokia Software Updater (aka NSU) 3.0.223 beta which has [...]
The World’s most popular phone game SNAKE is available for download at the Ovi Store. This isn’t an official Nokia one but it sure as heck is a lot of fun, especially as it looks like the original 3310 version, complete with the pixelated snake and green-tone black and white LCD. I’ve only tried on [...]
Air Hockey. You versus the phone as you try and score a goal with the virtual air lifted puck. First to 5 wins and each round goes to a higher level with slightly harder opponents. It’s really enjoyable (I love Air Hockey at arcades!) and great for those short distractions. It’s well worth a download. [...]
I think these games are S60 5th Edition unless they’ve been updated for Symbian^3 – either way both users will be able to download these apps from the Ovi Store. Sonic Jump Can’t seem to find it on Ovi Store but it was there. Tropical Towers Save the monkeys! Only you can help them [...]
“Everybody says, that Symbian^3 hasn’t changed, but look for yourself!” I’m surprised no such detailed comparison has been done. Actually planned to do it myself this weekend but caught up on coursework (which I’m half doing as I write this). But jenjaman has done an excellent job and split it into a four round match [...]
As mentioned before in the press release Jay posted, and has been rumored in the blogosphere for quite a while, it seems that Nokia and the Symbian board have taken a decisive step towards improving the Symbian OS, speeding up time to market, improving developer and OEM relations and at the same time cut [...]
While this is by no means an empirical test, I’ve seen mention in a number of places on the web that the main reason for the dismal performance of the Symbian Web browser is the lack of adequate CPU power, I can categorically say that this is a false assumption. I’m currently using a [...]
Since it’s announcement during the recent Nokia World event, the E7 has gotten quite a lot of attention. And for a good reason. It was passionately dubbed by Annsi Vanjoki as the direct continuation of the Nokia’s ‘communicator’ legacy, and thus, has quite some shoes to fill. But before we move head first into the [...]
The following blog post was dropped into our comments section not long ago and having read it from end to end, I can sincerely empathize with the author and agree almost whole-heartedly with his views. I think the key takeaway from this article is that Nokia has an image problem and seems not to realize [...]
The guys at Nokia Beta labs, responsible for the awesome “Nokia Bots” and ”Nokia Conversations” widgets and the “Photo Browser” application currently available in the Ovi Store have released a beta version of the text input program “Swype”. The Swype apps is available at the following link. Swype aims to significantly speed up text entry [...]
With rumors circling the internet that the final, release version of the N8 firmware is scheduled to be finished by next week (crosses fingers) The latest video that I found on the site, http://tv.mediaprovider.se should hopefully give a pretty clear insight into the sort of performance and applications (read: games) we can expect to see when [...]
