I haven’t had much time to blog lately but, today is no ordinary day. I woke up in the morning with a feeling that something great was about to happen at MWC. I’m so glad I wasn’t wrong The announcement of Nokia 808 Pureview is pretty much a dream come true to all of us Symbian/Nokia [...]
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 [...]
Hello fellow Mynokiablog readers! Today we present an honest (harsh?) video comparison of Asphalt 6! The nitty-gritty details can be found in the video description below. From MrNokiaTech: “NOTE: Gameloft “ported” Asphalt 6 to the Symbian^3 OS. It appears that they were not able to harness the power of the Broadcom GPU and [...]
On Thursday we heard about a new game on Ovi Store called “Eternal Legacy“. A 300MB adventure game from Gameloft. Of course, who other than Camb078 should give us a demo on his silver N8. Here’s the ovi store link: http://store.ovi.com/content/151091 Camb078 from blog-n8.fr So for those who downloaded – what did you think? [...]
We’ve been following the pink Nokia N8 for a while, from store listing to store listing ever since Nokia started asking about possible new colours for the N8. I thought Pink would have been a natural “girly” edition at the time, as Nokia’s done similar releases before. Some of you guys have even noticed a [...]
With the much anticipated Anna update to Symbian there is something ‘big and important’ coming to Symbian: a portrait keyboard. Considering it took Nokia a while to even show a preview of it or even have it in devices, one can imagine the time that should go into developing a good QWERTY keyboard. Unfortunatly though [...]
So what do you do if you’re a Finn, love cycling and a burning desire to travel? What do you do if you have a buddy that feels the same way? Jontte and Nikke from ridethetandem.net decided to go on a crazy, continent spanning, tandem ride around the world and just so happen to be [...]
@stevelitchfield from AAS compares video capture of the Nokia E7 and the mega Nokia N8. The N8 is the imaging and video king, 12MP, massive sensor, 28mm wide-angle Carl Zeiss optics and stellar stereo audio. But the E7 doesn’t do all that bad. It’s quite good actually. And that 4″ AMOLED CBD is just a [...]
@Camb078 of blog-n8.fr demoes another app for Nokia N8/E7/C7/C6-01/Symbian^3 owners. This is called Tank Hero. I’ve played this (or at least something very similar) on the Wii and my little cousin kicks my ass in this game. This is available for 2EUR/1.50GBP http://store.ovi.com/content/108662 Fast paced 3D tank action on your Nokia phone. Take out your [...]
I read this last night but somehow forgot to post it. It’s the official PayPal application available at Nokia’s Ovi Store. I checked and it said compatibility for Symbian^3, Symbian^1/S60V5 and S60v3. http://store.ovi.com/content/107164 It looks nicely done. Tabbed navigation at the bottom for quick, menu-less interaction. “Send money to your friends, manage your account and [...]
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 [...]
Nokia have uploaded an interactive video showing Sports Tracker on the Nokia N8 (with some clips filmed on the Nokia N8). You can see these options at around 2/3 of the video. It’ll show you how to use Sports Tracker, the training diary, and using additional accessories such as the heart rate belt. There’s also [...]
Yesterday Kryak tipped us on a couple of new Qt projects: Flake and Nu, pagadi. https://projects.forum.nokia.com/flake_weather https://projects.forum.nokia.com/PAGADI << can be downloaded Flake is the weather application you can see above. This is a weather application done in QML. You can manage multiple locations, view 5-day forecast, simple temperature graphs and a world map view of [...]
We’ve got some fantastic designs here for you but this time it mainly focuses on the UI tweaks rather than the phone itself. The imaginary/concept handset is called the Nokia W6, this is just a shell to house the modified Windows Phone theme. This was designed by Peter Lackman who emailed us saying: Hello folks [...]
Yesterday we saw Kasvopus, a new project from Tommi Laukkanen that brings a very promising facebook client to Nokia Devices. The only one so far comes by way of the frighteningly bad Social App produced by NOKIA. There’s quite some potential with Kasvopus, hopefully it will receive more updates and more features, but for now [...]
Microsoft are really pushing Windows Phone’s profile with these adverts. Regardless of what the phone can actually do, or truths behind it, what is most important in the adverts is that it drums down your message to the viewer that your product is something DESIRABLE, something LIKEABLE, something You’d go out and BUY. All other [...]
Tommi Laukkanen is at it again, this time taking on the Facebook app (which no one else, not even Nokia have done a good job on. It pains me how terribly overlooked the Facebook app has been on Nokias. You would think it was some hobo social network with 5 people on it the way [...]
It’s been a while since we looked at some N8 videos, no? Having switched to the Samsung Omnia 7 for over a week now, I am absolutely missing my anywhere any time QUALITY photos and videos. If I’m taking photos, that means I need to bring my (sammy) digicam – my friends keep mixing up [...]
I was rushing to get back home and noticed this in the Arndale in Manchester. You might have seen it before. I think it’s really cool – really blunt, boastful, to the point. This is what I want to see from Nokia. Straight, to the point, being clear about your strengths. No quibble about it. [...]
Remember that cool Flickr app that we saw towards the end of December? Well a lot of work has gone into it and there’s been an update: QuickFlickr is starting to get closer to the first set of features which will be in QuickFlickr 2.0 Alpha version. This video demonstrates almost all the features that [...]
Here are some Nokia E7 pics long overdue. Taken in December at a little Nokia E7/Eseries chat with Nokia’s Eseries Vice President Ilari Nurmii. We had a presentation prior to that about Eseries and what ws happening on the business side (all from the E7 via HDMI btw). Eseries was a very logical choice for [...]
