Here’s a couple of Tic Tac Toe/Noughts and Crosses games. 1. Tic Tac Toe Touch The first is Tic Tac Toe Touch from the Ovi Store. You can play againsts your phone or another person (or if you’re a bit crazy, yourself). It’s not your traditional 3×3 grid, instead you’ve got 13×8 so the game’s [...]
The official Nseries Blog is holding a competition where you could win either the Nokia N900 or a Nokia N97 Mini. Given the choice, who in their right mind would opt for the mini over the Maemo 5 SuperPhone? Full list of instructions over at blogs.nokia.com/nseries Basically: Take a photo of yourself and the CityMan [...]
This app is free from the Ovi Store and it simulates, well, a coin toss. To flick the coin, it uses either the touch screen or the accelerometer. You’ll see a 3D coin resembling a penny twisting around in the “air”. It would have been nice if the speed/height/rotation was affected by the degree initial [...]
We’ve been waiting for HTML support for so long, and it’s finally arrived! Normally, my Nokia Messaging inbox can only view BORING plain text only email. Now check it out. Probably not the best example, but as you can see there’s formatting and images. Note: Compare it with original GMAIL view to see that images are being displayed. [...]
Two freewares covered today – Both Facebook app alternatives. Social Messaging Beta and Symabook 1. Social Messaging Beta Something new from the Nokia Beta Labs – Social Messaging Beta. It’s somewhat limited in functionality at the moment, e.g. There’s space for other communities (e.g. twitter in future?) but only facebook is accessible – and the [...]
This is a nice touch based alternative to the default S60 converter. It’s free at the Ovi Store. Prominent number pad – very useful particularly for touch only use (and this app only recognizes touch input). Default S60 converter can of course use the keypad/keyboard and keypad touch (though only visible when you click on [...]
Here are some popular online flash files for your N97/5800/5530- basically most S60-flash capable devices, although some will only work with Touch/keyboard/D-Pad (though an onscreen D-pad is available). All app menus are accessible via touch It’s advisable to set flash quality to “low” for increased frame rate on the games and then set to full [...]
You may be aware of this app already – this is just a highlight for those who haven’t come across it yet. to download go to m.mobipocket.com on your browser (select S60 3rd edition) or Click here and then send the .sis file to your phone. One of my favourite applications on my N82 was [...]
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 [...]
Teo of Symbian Freak has found Digia@Web – A new web browser for S60 5th edition. We’ve got the native S60 browser, Opera Mini, and possibly Sky Fire (though that doesn’t function optimally yet), what would we need in another browser? Well, having just installed it and played with it for a couple of hours, [...]
Here’s a full touchscreen game for the Nokia N97 and other S60 5th Edition handset: Jueguito It’s a keepy uppie game with 2 modes: Free Play: See how many consecutive “kicks” you can keep the football up Timed: Get as many “kicks” within 45 seconds as possible, even if you drop it. It’s a very [...]
Here’s another of a growing number of free gems on the Ovi Store for your N97 (or other S60 5th Edition phone) Connect4. You can play in single player mode against the computer or go against a person in two player mode. Drop your discs and connect 4. Simple, but really fun. To download, you [...]
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 [...]
Thank you very much for following the journey with us to the Search For N… I’ve been overwhelmed with how everyone’s been working together, helping each other out, sharing ideas, hints (haha and answers). But now that may change to looking after number one as today marks the arrival of the 5th and final clue! [...]
Clue Number 4 for the search for N has just emerged from twitter.com/WOMWorldNokia. 1st Tweet: 2nd Tweet 3rd Tweet: 4th Tweet 5th Tweet So that’s EVERYTHING, DISCOVER, INDIVIDUALS, LETS, & SURFING.

Last Thursday, I went to London for an interesting trip to the Cinema, and was told that Nokia have scattered 7 “N’s” around the UK. Over the next few days, clues will be provided to search for Ns. The first of these has just arrived at my door. My housemate just gave me a random [...]
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 [...]
As a self confessed Star Trek fan, I just loved the rebirth of the franchise with XI. So did 10 other mates who weren’t that particularly fussed about Star Trek. It’s endearing to see any of the Star Trek series and notice that their “advanced handheld touch devices” can actually be replaced by slicker, working [...]
