In an effort to lure the present Qt devs (quite a number now, i’d say) into the Windows Phone dev environment, microsoft has added support in their API mapping tool for Symbian Qt, which the devs can use to create ports in a fast and easy manner. If you want to check it out, here’s the direct [...]
Nowadays, you can’t go anywhere or watch anything on TV, without being bombarded with Apple’s propaganda. It is spread pretty much everywhere, but I used to think that there were some places that were to remain untainted. Nokia related websites/services, were part of that world that enabled us to get rid of all that. It [...]
We’ve brought you stories regarding other phones that have been found on the FCC’s site. I found this the other day, but didn’t really think much of it. I’ve decided today that maybe one of our readers can help me identify what this is. It’s the only image found on the FCC page. Never before [...]
I’ll preface this “review” by saying the following. This is NOT final code and there will likely be significant changes and additions to both the aesthetics and performance of the Operating System when the final build is released to OEM’s. Further, the hardware improvement likely to accompany this update, in particular the newer 45nm [...]
I spoke to my mate at Vodafone AU and he said he saw that there are rumours of that the UK will offer the handset from the 16th of August. (Apparently, Russia has a pre-order date the same as this). As we mentioned earlier, Australia has been suggested as the first market to launch [...]

I know we have already brought you an article regarding Nokia Beta Labs’ new toy, Universal Search Beta. However, it was a closed trial (invite only). This still hasn’t changed, although i have come across a leaked installer of the new Search (2.39.176). I have been using it on my N8 (PR 1.2 – No [...]
On Thursday we heard about a new game on Ovi Store called “Eternal Legacy“. A 300MB adventure game from Gameloft. Of course, who other than Camb078 should give us a demo on his silver N8. Here’s the ovi store link: http://store.ovi.com/content/151091 Camb078 from blog-n8.fr So for those who downloaded – what did you think? [...]
Hello again folks, after reading the following quotes after the announcement of N9 from Nokia spokesperson Mark Squires, We did the alliance after they announced Mango and we’ve jumped on a moving bus. That means the majority of early products will be based on that.” “However, as we move forward, you will see more of [...]
As promised, here’s an unboxing of the Symbian Anna powered Nokia E6-00. This is the Black version which the majority of voters chose last time as their colour of choice; other options of course being white and silver. Thanks to Paul and the folks at WOMWorld for sending us this trial unit. You can watch [...]
Remember that long running saga between Apple and Nokia, with the latter suing Apple, only to be counter-sued and both companies asking for a cessation of importing of the infringing devices into the USA by appealing to the ITC? Well it seems that the two feuding companies have finally struck a deal involving a lump-sum [...]
You must have already seen the Qt “Play To” app by now, if not, read it here . In that post, we had a few puzzled users who didn’t know how to connect their device to a PC, some users suggested the highly acclaimed XBMC for streaming, but i always knew there were simpler ways, [...]
Ahead of his keynote speech at Qualcomm’s Uplinq conference tomorrow evening, Stephen Elop took (is taking) the time out to answer a few questions from Walt Mossberg at their currently ongoing D9 conference. While you can currently follow this liveblog here courtesy of the fine folks at ThisIsMyNext, there were a few choice quotes that [...]
From Nokia Conversations, The Official Nokia Blog: “GLOBAL – Today Nokia and news network CNN have announced plans for an international agreement which will see Nokia providing rich mapping services to the network. You may have already seen the first fruits of this collaboration when CNN used Nokia’s new 3D maps to show the route [...]
I know guys, I haven’t written much if anything lately, and even less about Symbian lately (partly because I no longer use it and thus can’t speak much to its merits in the present tense) but one of the common criticisms that was leveled at iOS when it introduced its version of “multitasking” was that [...]
Marrat noticed something in the reflection from the N900′s screen in the Qt Quick 3D video. Pause the video at 0:49 and see what the N900′s screen is reflecting… Recognize the shape? What phone is recording that video above? It’s got N8 like tapering edges alright. The LED is on, and you can see two [...]

It consists of two interactive components: a physical world component and a virtual world component. This award comes with $30,000 research cash plus donation of 15 Nokia N900s. UH also joins a [...]
Thanks to our hawkeyed readers that keep tabs on everything Nokia related and more we received a tip from dietyyli that the ever entertaining Eldar Murtazin tweeted that Microsoft is planning to buy Nokia’s mobile division, this year. When, why and how this all will happen remains a mystery at this time, it’s just another [...]
A Finnish e-retailer lists both the Nokia X7 and E6. Note the difference in price from Nokia directly (which is almost always the case with Nokia pre-order). Instead of as much as 489 Euros for the X7, it’s 405 EUR. Likewise, instead of 429 EUR for the E6, it’s 379. Nokia E6 Nokia X7 Something [...]
There has been a lot of talk about what OS shipped what amount of units and how well or how bad that particular OS did. Symbian was clearly visible in every chart and so was its declining market share. But where was Windows Phone? Is it such a failure that it doesn’t even register on [...]
The Qt version of TwimGo and Kasvopus are now available free at Ovi Store. Both these applications are the work of Qt Guru, Tommi Laukkanen, who’s going from strength to strength with his Qt projects. Nelisquare being the latest. Kasvopus is a Qt facebook client. Not feature packed but I prefer it over Nokia Social. [...]
