Clicker Counters….remember this? From the Ovi Store, here’s Counter Touch – a touch screen Clicker Counter for your S60 5th Edition handset. It works best when you’ve got screen vibration turned on, as it reinforces the “click”. (Go to Settings>Profile>Personalise>Touch Screen Vibration) Features: Counts up to 9999 Can deduct (for miscounts) Remembers last count when [...]
Last week when I was checking out the Ovi Store, 9 of these apps were on my recommended page, with the 10th one app’s related download section. You may have seen them elsewhere before, on different download locations, but now they’re all available through Ovi (well at least versions of them anyway) – great for [...]
This application is a must have for anyone who travels frequently (or at all) on a train. Whenever I needed to travel by train, I used to go to www.thetrainline.com. You can access it from your S60 browser directly or you can choose the mobile version, m.thetrainline.com, which is more economic on the data and [...]
From moubail.com is this free “match’em game”, where the aim is to match multiple icons on the screen. It’s touch based (though a little flakey) but for N97 users you can also use the D-Pad. It’s a little harder than it looks, as you’ve got to put some thought into what order you’re going to [...]
The Carphone Warehouse (a.k.a. The Phone House) is “Europe’s largest independent mobile phone retailer, with over 1700 stores”, so it is somewhat, a little bit of an achievement for the 5800 to be the number 1 pay monthly handset, leaving Apple’s iPhone in 2nd and Samsung’s Tocco Ultra in 3rd. From the blurb: “Introducing the [...]
Ignoring the 7700 and 7710, here’s the third and latest touch screen phone from Nokia; the 5530 Xpress Music. It may look familiar to you – because it has surfaced once as a possibly successor to the 5800. But then it was deemed as a poor Chinese knock-off of the 5800 instead of actually being [...]
My-Symbian has posted some excellent comparison shots of the N97 with the E90, E75, 5800 and Samsung i8910 (Omnia HD). A few interesting selections below: 1 – E90 and N97 E90 is huge, but that’s because of that big screen and that spectacular keyboard. Not the best looking phone though. You’d think the reason Nokia [...]
Here’s another look at the MyPhone application, this time updated to version 2.11. MyPhone v2.11 is compatible both with S60 3rd and 5th edition handsets, turning your compatible phone into an iphone-esque gadget. Take a look at these two videos of MyPhone v2.10 on the Nokia 5800 You’ll get that plus the updates with v2.11, [...]
The Time Machine app for the Nokia 5800 is both a stop watch and a countdown timer. When the countdown reaches zero, an alarm sounds. Pretty useful if you’re cooking something or as a parking meter alert. Yeah, you can use the general alarm clock but it’s easier to put in “n” minutes countdown and [...]
Here’s the Nokia N97 being demoed at the developer summit. Here it is again, if you so wish, at another angle. There’s nothing to be gained from either video except the noticing the gradual growth of the N97′s UI. I still hate the wasteful menu of S60 5th edition – at least for phones with [...]
…in Nokia’s portfolio. The 5800 had sold 1,000,000 within a couple of months (3 million now), compared with T-Mobile’s G1 which has sold around 100,000 since October. With every feature the 5800 has ( 3.2″ Touch screen, excellent loud speakers, 3.2mp Carl Zeiss Lens, excellent music player, GPS Navigation, decent web browser with Flash support [...]
Addressing, coincidentally, yesterday’s “what would you change about the Nokia 5800?” Steve Litchfield from AAS points out 10 things Nokia realistically could have changed about 5800 XpressMusic before release (Instead of the “I would change it by giving it 20 MP with 5000X zoom!!). Fortunately – if one could look at it that way, Steve [...]
Engadget has asked it’s readers, “How would you change Nokia’s 5800 XpressMusic?”. I think for the price, the 5800 packs a lot of punches you’d expect from the high-end and expensive Nseries. But as in everything, there’s always ample room for improvement. It seems though that a lot of the features that people are wishing [...]
The author of this first application admits its not very useful, but as you can see from the video below, it demonstrates the sensitivity of the 5800′s accelerometer. It actually works OK too as a replacement for a dice, with motion sensor dependent rotation and fairly good animation for three hours of work. Download this [...]
The time when you need torches the most is when they’re hardest to get to – in a black out (or brown out as they oddly call it in the Philippines). And looking for a torch is only useful if you actually own one to start with. No point trying to find the torch to [...]
The MyPhone application, infamous for turning the 5800 (now any s60 5th edition phone, i.e. N97, i8910) into iPhone wannabes has gone another step further with this update by bringing us 4×5 columns as an option. 4×5 grid option allowing 8 more applications to be viewed at one time – ZOMGitsCJ . . I wish [...]
Here’s a Freebie game for your Nokia 5800, (Nokia N97, Samsung i8910 HD) and other 5th edition S60 devices: World Snooker Chamption 09 3D .Click to download. Via Symbianworld.org.
Everyone loves a freebie! I know I do. This may have been the most productive thing I’ll do today (and not my neuroanatomy revision haha. ) Check it out at 5800storepromo.co.uk/
This is two separate news but I’m covering them both in this post. Nokia N97 firmware on the N97 The first is the 5800 with N97′s firmware – this means the coveted active widgets that N97 product managers have said would be exclusive to the N97. [via JUSTAMP] New Nokia 5800 to get Capacitive displays? [...]
Happy Easter! The girls have their obscenely fake designer handbags; the guys have their imitation phones. This is another 5800 clone. It’s not a faithful imitation of the real 5800. Instantly you can see it’s plumper and the back is silver. Strangely though, I actually thinking it looks nicer than the actual 5800. This clone [...]
