Hello MNB Readers! As some of you may know, the HTC One S (and X) has the best camera that HTC has ever made. It has great specifications coupled with a great camera software suite and lightning fast shooting performance. I recently added the One S to my stable of smartphones and decided to [...]

We’ve been following the pink Nokia N8 for a while, from store listing to store listing ever since Nokia started asking about possible new colours for the N8. I thought Pink would have been a natural “girly” edition at the time, as Nokia’s done similar releases before. Some of you guys have even noticed a [...]
“Have you ever noticed that camera phones are great at capturing spontaneous moments? But not great at capturing them perfectly? They do now. With a 16 Megapixel camera and TWO LED flashes, even a phone can give you professional shots”. pocketnowvideo VIA POCKETNOW This is the audio for this supposed HTC video. I don’t [...]
As always, the game-seeker Camb078 from blog-n8.fr has found a cool Qt-based game on the Ovi store called TreeMaker. This cute game is a physics based puzzle that has various levels and chapters, like for ex : Angry Birds. Basically you(some kind of a black bird) should sling across platforms and make(?) trees or get(grow) [...]
Debenhams (UK retail store) has released their application for Symbian^3 (and Android). iPhone already has one (of course) and it’s nice to see Symbian not forgotten.

@Camb078 of blog-n8.fr demoes another app for Nokia N8/E7/C7/C6-01/Symbian^3 owners. This is called Tank Hero.

This is available for 2EUR/1.50GBP http://store.ovi.com/content/108662 Fast paced 3D tank action on your Nokia phone. Take out your [...]
Now this isn’t the first time Nokia has tried to promote their unlocked devices, and neither should it be the last. Another tweet from @chansearrington, this video posted two weeks ago shows the benefits of having an unlocked device. This is something I take for granted as I’ve always been particular to choose unlocked phones [...]
Nokia have uploaded an interactive video showing Sports Tracker on the Nokia N8 (with some clips filmed on the Nokia N8). You can see these options at around 2/3 of the video. It’ll show you how to use Sports Tracker, the training diary, and using additional accessories such as the heart rate belt. There’s also [...]

This is a weather application done in QML. You can manage multiple locations, view 5-day forecast, simple temperature graphs and a world map view of [...]
We’ve got some fantastic designs here for you but this time it mainly focuses on the UI tweaks rather than the phone itself. The imaginary/concept handset is called the Nokia W6, this is just a shell to house the modified Windows Phone theme. This was designed by Peter Lackman who emailed us saying: Hello folks [...]
Tommi Laukkanen is at it again, this time taking on the Facebook app (which no one else, not even Nokia have done a good job on. It pains me how terribly overlooked the Facebook app has been on Nokias. You would think it was some hobo social network with 5 people on it the way [...]
It’s been a while since we looked at some N8 videos, no? Having switched to the Samsung Omnia 7 for over a week now, I am absolutely missing my anywhere any time QUALITY photos and videos. If I’m taking photos, that means I need to bring my (sammy) digicam – my friends keep mixing up [...]
Hey All, Adam has tipped us that a new software update is available for the Nokia N8 called “Quick search update”. Go to the little software update app on the phone and it will automatically refresh itself and inform you of an update. RoadXY tips us from dailymobile.se and says: This new update has a [...]
I was rushing to get back home and noticed this in the Arndale in Manchester. You might have seen it before. I think it’s really cool – really blunt, boastful, to the point. This is what I want to see from Nokia. Straight, to the point, being clear about your strengths. No quibble about it. [...]
We received an email from Georgios to tips@mynokiablog.com informing us that an “Apps Update 1.0″ was available at the Software Update section on the N8. I didn’t see anything when I checked and thought it was yet another “software update rumour”, despite Georgios informing us moments later that, “It adds some transition effects when switching [...]
Remember that cool Flickr app that we saw towards the end of December? Well a lot of work has gone into it and there’s been an update: QuickFlickr is starting to get closer to the first set of features which will be in QuickFlickr 2.0 Alpha version. This video demonstrates almost all the features that [...]
Here are some Nokia E7 pics long overdue. Taken in December at a little Nokia E7/Eseries chat with Nokia’s Eseries Vice President Ilari Nurmii. We had a presentation prior to that about Eseries and what ws happening on the business side (all from the E7 via HDMI btw). Eseries was a very logical choice for [...]
The Nokia Loop App that’s free for the N8 and C7 isn’t just for recording odd random sounds to pool into a track, you can also make actual music with actual instruments! (Yeah, let’s not get into the debate of what music is, you know what I mean :p) chrismcrowe has taken his N8, downloaded [...]
We received this email to our tips@mynokiablog.com address (woohoo it’s partially working! – we don’t know if it’s being sent to everyone yet) One of our readers, Ali Abdulla has a D.I.Y. Tripod stand for the N8. Heavens knows why Nokia hasn’t released an official mount yet. I’m still using the old DT-22 vice grip [...]
Have you experienced the “deferred message” bug? It’s quite annoying and has been a problem in Nokia since the old Symbian days. The issue: a message (sms/mms) fails to send, gets stuck in outbox as deferred and CANNOT be modified/deleted. Stuck with outbox/sending icon that confuses from actual status. Up until Symbian^3 however, it was [...]
