This video was shown in Symbian CEO, Lee William’s keynote at SEE 2009. It’s supposed to be an artist’s concept of what Symbian UI will look like in the future.

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 [...]

| June 20, 2009 | Reply

As a long time Nokia fan, it is disheartening to hear such crushing words about what’s meant to be Nokia’s best ever phone to date. What’s worse is that we all knew what Nokia needed to do, yet for purposes beyond our comprehension (perhaps to cut costs in an attempt to be mass market friendly), [...]

I thought I may be swayed into getting the next gen iPhone  given the rumoured specifications, but alas, the upgrades are minor and very disappointing. Apple have, inevitably, upgraded the memory to 32GB – $299 on contract. You also get a bunch of other “new” features such as: Video recording! Since 2003. It is VGA [...]

This is another example of what Nokia’s N-Gage platform is going to have to go up against. Not considered as a gaming phone due to lack of buttons, the iPhone now has a very formidable selection of great looking games that don’t skimp on gameplay. Here is Terminator Salvation by Gameloft for the iPhone/iPod Touch. [...]

Applications address the limitations of our phones; shifting new interest into tired devices either by bringing wished features or an entirely new use not considered before. Ovi will be “the door” to bring those applications to our devices. So that’s why, for me, the best feature on the N97 is OVI. Once I get used/”bored” [...]
