Last month we reported that an update was available for Belle FP1 devices through Nokia Beta labs; that fixed some WiFi connectivity issues. This same update has now been made official for first gen Symbian devices running Belle Refresh, although for some reason the N8 isn’t mentioned in the list of supported devices. It has been reported that following Symbian [...]
WPCentral have posted up that Viber has announced they will bring Voice Calling to Windows Phone, exclusive to the Lumia range. This is another prime example of Nokia improving the WP experience for Lumia users. Although, I do think that having such exclusive apps and services does indeed cause fragmentation, but let’s not discuss that. [...]
Now that MWC is over (unfortunately) I had a chance to organize all the Q&A sessions we had with all the awesome Nokia guys; we had four in total, one with Damien Dinning about the 808 and it’s camera which I posted seperately, here we have 3 more Q&As about the Luima design, Nokia Maps/Transport and Nokia Entertainment. [...]
So with MWC just around the corner (Feb 27th) rumors have started to surface about what Nokia might unveil there, according to a source at forbes Nokias presence at MWC will be in the shape of: run an unusual software feature normally found only on high-end smartphones. Way to leave our minds roam freely in the [...]
The amazing people at Nokia Connects were nice enough to send me a Lumia 800 to trial out for a while, so first off a shout out them for making this possible, they have some truly wonderful people working for them. Now a bit about the extent of my relationship with OSes other than Symbian/S^3, [...]
-After All this time? ….. “Always.” It’s been over a year since the N8 was released, and yet according to techradar it’s still the king of cameraphones. The people at Techradar pitted the N8 against the Samsung Galaxy 2, the iPhone4S, HTC Evo 3D, Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc and the Motorola XT720; in a series of complicated and thorough tests of [...]
Nokias Social app fro S^3 has finally been updated to V 1.4 bringing us the updates we spotted on Nokias official website almost two months ago, after which Social was temporarily pulled out of the Nokia store. The new update brings with it two new widgets one for Facebook and the second for Twitter, making it easier to access [...]
Ok so I’m supposed to be studying but all the buzz around CES is making it extremely difficult, regardless for those of you who haven’t heard HTC have just announced during At&ts CES conference that they will be releasing the ’HTC Titan II’ accompanied with a 16MP camera. Which by the way makes the original HTC Titan which was released less than [...]
So my trial device Lumia 800 is finally here! Already in love, I’m currently looking for countries where Nokia can’t extradite me back to Finland for ‘Product Theft’. Now once I got the 800 I realized that I didn’t have a tripod for my N8-00 to film the unboxing/review with, and that’s when my ingeniousness kicked in (sometimes I surprise [...]
It’s been a while since we mentioned anything about Symbian apps so here’s a nice FREE one to keep you busy, Incredible Circus by Developers INDT is a cute loosely physics based game where you star as a circus stunt performer, your objective is straight-forward: get to the top platform. But as always it’s not that simple, you have to bounce [...]
It’s been a long known fact that all Nokia phones no matter what OS they run have one thing that makes them superior to any other brand; their build quality, and in all honesty that’s what really matter, who cares if your phone has a 23GhZ processor if it breaks the first time you toss [...]
A nifty looking weather widget was just leaked from the official Belle firmware (Kudos to the guys over at HDblog.it) I think this is the widget for the official Weather/Map application (similar to the my position widget which also only works on on Belle); If my Google translate isn’t rusty you’ll need to be running a E6 [...]
Ebuddy’s XMS which is basically a instant SMS via data (like Kik, Whatsapp and liveprofile) is now available for Meego (N9/N950), as of now Ebuddy XMS is the only option available for Meego (Whatsapp say they have no plans at all, Kik was JUST released for Symbian, and liveprofile…. well, don’t get me started). I think if [...]
Tom just tipped us that when selecting your mobile on the Nokia store after choosing a phone (under select your phone) you get a new pop-up as seen above that asks if you’re running Symbian Belle or Anna/Earlier. Interesting twist as Belle hasn’t seen daylight on any of the phones I tested this on (N8, C7, E7), [...]
So nobody blames me later on- DANGER USE AT YOUR OWN RISK>DANGER USE AT YOUR OWN RISK>DANGER USE AT YOUR OWN RISK> (had enough?? well maybe one more.)DANGER USE AT YOUR OWN RISK> What is overclocking?? Overclocking is the process of operating a computer component at a higher clock rate (more clock cycles per second) than it was designed for [...]
About two or three weeks ago the developers of the cross-platform messaging application Kik promised us a impending ‘beta-testers’ version of Kik for symbian, to my surprise the link I got in my email was for the final official version being distributed over the NOKIA store. Wonderful fast job by all the Kik Devolopers! thank you. (Live-Profile I have nothing [...]
Dear MNB readers, the Nokia N8 impresses once again. Say what you may about Symbian^3/Anna/Belle and even Nokia, but we cannot truthfully deny the craftmanship that went into designing and developing the N8′s 12 Megapixel 720p Carl Zeiss camera module. From GSMArena: The rapid progress that cameraphone have been making over the past few years is no secret [...]
We’ve all seen the leaked versions of Symbian Belle for the N8 (a fair number of us have tried it), but for the first time Symbian Belle for C7-00 has been leaked. I’m quite sure this is the first leaked non-N8 firmware as when Anna was leaked it was also a N8 only process. As always TRY [...]
Big news for all fans of cross-platform instant chatting applications, KiK a app very much similar to Whatsapp is coming to Symbian devices SOON, theres a sign up page for private beta testing here: Just enter your name, Email & Phone Model. http://kik.com/symbian For what it’s worth KiK developers seem to really love Symbian, usually when apps extend [...]
I usually hate blurrycam images, but when its about two symbian updates that haven’t even been announced I make exceptions. Big exceptions in this case as an image that popped up on Symbianlatino.com appears to show the future road map for Symbian displaying to upcoming updates named “Carla & Donna” The image source claims that [...]
