Free Game: Match'em for Nokia N97, 5800, and Samsung i8910
From moubail.com is this free “match’em game”, where the aim is to match multiple icons on the screen. It’s touch based (though a little flakey) but for N97 users you can also use the D-Pad. It’s a little harder than it looks, as you’ve got to put some thought into what order you’re going to [...]
Nokia 5800 is the Number 1 Pay Monthly phone from Carphone Warehouse
The Carphone Warehouse (a.k.a. The Phone House) is “Europe’s largest independent mobile phone retailer, with over 1700 stores”, so it is somewhat, a little bit of an achievement for the 5800 to be the number 1 pay monthly handset, leaving Apple’s iPhone in 2nd and Samsung’s Tocco Ultra in 3rd. From the blurb: “Introducing the [...]

Freeware: Stopwatch/Countdown with Time Machine for Nokia 5800 and S60 5th Edition

Nokia Star Trek Micro Site
As a self confessed Star Trek fan, I just loved the rebirth of the franchise with XI. So did 10 other mates who weren’t that particularly fussed about Star Trek. It’s endearing to see any of the Star Trek series and notice that their “advanced handheld touch devices” can actually be replaced by slicker, working [...]
