Last September, I ranted about my frustrations on the Ovi Store App on the N97 with the post, “Ovi Store Rant: 7 things wrong with the Ovi Store” These annoyances consisted of: 7. Inability to update Ovi Store app from the client itself [Ovi Store App updates itself now] There’s been at least three updates I [...]
Seems the numeric reversal of V12 to V21 isn’t all that was reversed. The Hard Reset problem initially appearing with V12 – for me anyways – might now be gone! Thanks firmware update team! A hard reset maybe something you’ll need if you need if you need to: Wipe the phone memory (selling it on/sending [...]
On Friday, you may have read that today’s the day (February 1st 2010) at 08:00 GMT that V2.1 firmware update for the N97 will be available. The software version number will be 21.0.045 (RM-505) or 21.2.045 (RM-507) depending on your region. The release for N97 China 2G (RM-506) will follow shortly. Non-customised versions of the [...]

Nokia Conversations reports that the N97 is now supported officially (some may have already found N97 mini’s ovi maps .sis to have worked for them) for the new Ovi Maps which brings users free turn-by-turn walk and drive navigation The new Ovi Maps is available through the software update client in the device. You simply [...]
This really cool animated music video by Hiro Murai about the Ovi Store just popped up on the Nokia Conversations YouTube channel. Reminds me of Fantastic Mr Fox for some reason. Watch how apps are brought to life, such as Gravity’s twitter with actual birds sending over messages! Neat! [YouTube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyO2GJsgnU4] I wonder if this has [...]
1. Gravity Undoubtedly one of S60 5th Edition’s saving graces, this app: seamlessly integrates all of twitters features giving you an overall functionality not yet possible with other twitter apps for maemo. Making tweets, sending replies and direct messages is so simple, especially since you can be notified of DM/replies with sound alerts. I love [...]
I was going to put this as part of the X6 review i’m about to write but thought i’d give it a post of it’s own! I’v just got the Nokia X6 (just got this on Tuesday), The N900, and the N97 (Original – not mini) and thought people might want to see a hardware [...]
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. [...]
This is a video for the Nokia Zero: The new Nokia phone to rule them all. This post is meant to demonstrate the importance of having a “memorable product name”. This goes for services as well as devices. Here I’ve taken “Zero” as an example. The rest of the post after the video explains why [...]
I’m not a proper audiophile, but I do really appreciate good quality sound that’s uninterrupted by outside noise. Thanks to the crew over at WOMWorld, we’ve received the daddy of all stereo bluetooth headsets to try out, the Nokia BH-905 with active noise cancellation. I’ve been exciting about the BH-905s ever since hearing about them [...]
Here’s some low light photo conditions with the N900; testing out its flash against the N97 and the king of flash, and over 2 years old (absolutely ancient in tech), the N82. I know I harp on about Xenon, but these set of photos demonstrate yet again why it’s just so good! Real xenon flash [...]
This is a quick video that shows how to remove the battery cover and also how to insert a wrist strap. The back cover mechanism has been gradually refined over the years with Nseries. I remember the flimsy connecting stubs of the N95 and N93′s battery covers; they were so weak, they broke if you [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
This version of Tic Tac Toe touch is slightly improved over the previous version available on the Ovi Store. It’s your standard 3×3 grid and it’s one player only. You play the “X”, computer plays “O” with standard tic tac toe/noughts and crosses gameplay. The visuals have improved slightly, plus the game keeps a record [...]
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?
Happy Halloween All! Just finished up with the face paint – it’s a cat of some sort. Not really “scary”. The only scary thing is that is actually my real hair. Also, we’ll have to see the adverse effects of using oil paints instead of just face paints (I left the red face paint at [...]
After an exceedingly busy day yesterday, an evening nap before a blogpost turned into an 9 hour snooze. What happened 9 hours ago that needed a blogpost? Well, something about a Nokia Wedding: So – the details: Mr and Mrs Nokia Marriage of their daughter Sally Powell to Mr A.T. Noon [an anagram?] at North [...]
