Tipped by @umarnagi, this screenshot from forum Nokia support discussions confirming that the Nokia N97 mini is to get a new firmware update – PR2.0. In Q2 2011. I wouldn’t think this is the same PR2.0 that Symbian^3 users are waiting for. Currently, the latest version for N97 mini should be: v12.0.110. I think this [...]
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 [...]
The upoming Scifi Thriller, “Source Code” – starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Michelle Monaghan – seems like a really good movie. It’s like a cross between Tron (being inside a computer programme), GroundHogDay (Repeating events) and maybe Surrogates (going into other folk’s bodies). It looks like something I’d be very interested in watching. What makes it [...]
NokiaSaga reports that some major firmware updates are coming for both N97 and N97 mini. Remember them? Well relatively major. N97 and N97 mini maybe receiving integrated Yahoo! powered Ovi Chat as part of the PR3 and PR2 update. Hurray, they have not been totally forgotten! Though with the big brother, some (like the team [...]
cellfanatic takes a look at the browsing capabilities of the Android powered Motorola Droid, Symbian fuelled Nokia N97 mini and Maemo 5 super awesomeness that is the Nokia N900. N97 mini looks strikingly beautiful here. Anyways. Nick compares features such as: screen size screen resolution screen type (just a note, N900 does have a better [...]
In February we heard about the N97 Mini Gold edition. Idelafr brings us an unboxing of that 18 carat trimmed Nokia N97 Mini Gold Edition: test-mobile.fr/
This is a supremely cool application called Nokia Bots from Nokia Beta Labs. It basically learns how you are using your phone and so adapts future phone behaviour to anticipate future actions. Alarm Bot “Setting up a wake-up alarm and silent profile for night time has never been easier! Alarm Bot learns at what time [...]
Not content with having the luxury limited Edition N97 Mini Raoul, Nokia have launched a $850 N97 mini Gold Edition. It’s the pearly white N97 mini with 18 carat gold accents wherever there was chrome(or other types of metal). Inside, it’s the same trusty 3.2″, 360X640 tilt screen with QWERTY, 5MP Carl Zeiss Auto-Focus camera, A-GPS, 8GB [...]
Got something simmering in the stove or roasting in the oven? Need to leave it for a while, but need a reminder to make sure you won’t forget and let your cooking burn? No timer on the cooker or timer is only on the cooker itself? You should get Egg timer for S60 5th Edition. [...]

I was destined to meet up with my comfy pillow and duvet but just as I was about to climb under the quilt, I noticed the package that must have been received yesterday (Saturday). It was a big jiffy bag. I thought it may have been something I ordered from eBay. It turns out to [...]
Here are some shots of the N900 with some current high end phones. In Alphabetical Order: Apple iPhone BlackBerry Bold/Storm 2, LG BL-40 Nokia N97 Mini/N86/5800/E71, Palm Pre, Samsung i8910/Omnia II, Sony Ericsson Satio/Aino and Toshiba TG01 Initially the intention was to give a jist of the size of the N900. But since I was [...]
Memory Tester Touch is a game that well…tests your memory. You’ve got a 3×3 grid of 9 squares. One square lights up at a time, and you have to remember the pattern as one new square is lit (provided you’ve got the previous pattern right – otherwise game over) You get one point for each [...]
Matthew Miller has just uploaded a 9 minute video giving a tour of the N97 mini. He’s also got a white N97 for comparison. Whilst you’re at it, you may want to check out this unboxing of the N97 mini
This episode by Steve Litchfield reviews Nokia’s N97 mini. The mini is the baby brother of the original N97, (seemingly) created to rectify to abysmal mistakes when Nokia succumed yet again poor compromises which rendered the original N97 somewhat ever so frustrating in general day to day use. There are several positive notes that Steve [...]
In addition to the standard black N97 mini, it will also be coming, not just in white, but in garnet red. Let’s hope the white N97 mini doesn’t fall prey to the same quality issues (light leakage, paint chipping, staining, poorer quality keyboard) that the original white N97 did. (see this post about my previous [...]
Escpecially for Singapore, a swanky, more ‘stylish’ version of the N97 mini, with a little revamped look and a host of extra accessories and bespoke packaging. Why does it take so long to boot up?
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 [...]
You may have already seen Mark’s video on the Nokia N97′s firmware 2.0. Here’s a similar video from Symbian World but it’s a little bit clearer and longer on what is actually coming in October. I don’t know whether what’s demonstrated is the exhaustive list of changes or if there will be even more (I [...]
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 [...]
Back in mid-June, rumours had started to trickle around about the “N97 Mini” coming to our shores soon via Vodafone. No images or details were given, except that it was apparently going to be “competitively priced” and could be available later this year. Recently, photos have been circulating of that supposed N97 Mini, yet it [...]
