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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

It features: faster menu navigation 6 widget spaces and more widgets S^3 style caller Swipe to unlock in landscape as well as portrait notification 1.05 [...]
After a few months off the grid, I thought it best to offer a short post to show Jay, Andre and the rest of the MNB gang that I’m still around… With my next upgrade coming up in the first few months of 2011, I’ve been pondering my options for my next handset. I’m keen to stick [...]
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 [...]
When I first looked at the video, I wasn’t actually sure it was meant to be a phone app due to the mass of detail on screen but it is. And it’s for you, S60 5th Edition users. This is a drum machine - essentially what you’re doing is arranging a pattern of beats/instruments [...]
The World’s most popular phone game SNAKE is available for download at the Ovi Store. This isn’t an official Nokia one but it sure as heck is a lot of fun, especially as it looks like the original 3310 version, complete with the pixelated snake and green-tone black and white LCD. 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. [...]
This is a gallery of the new PowerMat wireless charger and the powercube and some first impressions. I received this on Monday thanks to Sam who’s working with http://www.powermateu.com/. Now there were some details asked in an email but I got an out of office reply for sending it before 9am. :p What is the [...]
Here’s some recent photos (taken on Monday) comparing the Nokia N8 and the Nokia N97. via: Uploaded on Flickr by Mario Villamil Arguelles
On my twitterfeed, @Sheridan01 mentionoed he was updating his N97. It wasn’t the wrongly publicised V30 that Nokia mistakingly said was available, but a new firmware update is available nonetheless, from v21.0.045 to v22.0.110. I did mine OTA, just hit *#0000# and update from there. It’ll take 5 minutes depending on your connection. Not checked [...]
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 [...]
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/
I saw @Camb078 and @gerrymoth tweet about an upcoming new version Ovi Maps. Good thing I managed to sort out Ovi Store today (been having installation problems yesterday) If you check out Ovi Store there’s a NEW version of sports tracker. It’s so new, it doesn’t even over write the old sports tracker on S60 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
According to an email from Tam Hanna to Ovi store publishers; January’s distribution looks like this: X6 0%(3.2%) unknown 0.75(0%) 5230 1.5% (3.1%) 5530 6.8% (6.2%) 5800 36.5% (40.6%) N97 54.4% (46.5%) Numbers in brackets were figures from December 09. N97 and 5800 users are clearly leading in terms of Ovi Store usage. I’m guessing [...]
