PayPal app available for Nokia (Symbian) Free at Ovi Store.
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.

N97 Mini New Firmware Update 2.0 Coming Q2 2011(v2x.x.xxx)
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 [...]

Video: Source Code Trailer starring Bing Browsing Nokia N97 Mini
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 [...]

The World’s most popular phone game SNAKE is available for download at the Ovi Store.

I’ve only tried on [...]

Air Hockey. You versus the phone as you try and score a goal with the virtual air lifted puck. First to 5 wins and each round goes to a higher level with slightly harder opponents. It’s really enjoyable (I love Air Hockey at arcades!) and great for those short distractions. It’s well worth a download. [...]

Nokia’s Firmware update checker says that the N97 has a new firmware available, v30.0.016. But Nokia Software Updater and Over The Air update can’t find anything yet. But what we do know is that it’s coming soon. I’ve somewhat lost hope in the firmware updates for the N97. Fingers crossed it lessens my frustrations with [...]

Nokia RANT: Response to Ovum's "Report" on Nokia's 'failures'.
Hmm, I doubt anyone will read this but I couldn’t sleep (trying to finish off some presentations…meh, they want us to use OHP :[) and seeing these “reports” circulated got me kinda worked up. I haven’t made a proper Nokia rant in a while. Nokia’s been churning a lot of awesome sauce since N900 (Free [...]
