Following yesterday’s post on the behind the scenes of the site of the Good Things Arrow and Crane, this second video now takes a look at the heart – or be it – the brain that’s sorting out all those messages that appear on the arrow itself.
Thanks to WOMWorld, the attendees of the #OviGoodThings event had the chance toe meet with the product manager for the site of the Nokia Signposts for a tour behind the scenes of the Crane and Arrow. This first video is of the site itself (I cut out the safety instructions as it went over youtube’s [...]
Just a quicky-post as we’re going down for breakfast in a mo. After dinner yesterday, I thought I’d borrow everyone’s Nokia N97s and snap a photo of them together. (I like seeing masses of phones ) Yesterday, if you’ve been following #ovigoodthings on twitter you may have seen these pics already. (Thanks everyone for lending [...]
Yesterday, 5 groups in 2 man-teams navigated their way across London’s sights of attraction. But it wasn’t simply using Ovi Maps and locating point X. We were only ever given coordinates, which meant one wrong digit placement could lead us anywhere but where we had to go to. Once getting to the correct destination there [...]
This morning, the DHL man and Postman delivered several Good Things…some books, cheques from the lettings agency…and: train tickets to London and back WOMWorld Package with Good Things box (actually a pretty big box), containing: a euro-uk converter; Nokia N97 box; and a green Good Things arrow.

On Monday I got an email from WOMWorld inviting me to a “top secret” event happening in London and it’s supposedly taking place around 22nd/23rd October. [link - wordpress in chrome sucks] I wanted to wait until I knew more about what was happening, but even after the phone call from WOMWorld’s Katie this afternoon [...]
My broadband just stopped working. After getting past the frustration, I’d normally attempt to fix it (myself or get a mate to do it). Instead, I decided to try using the N97 as a modem. (Note: this isn’t specific to the N97). In Ovi Suite, there’s a service called “One Touch Access” and it really [...]
Last week when I was checking out the Ovi Store, 9 of these apps were on my recommended page, with the 10th one app’s related download section. You may have seen them elsewhere before, on different download locations, but now they’re all available through Ovi (well at least versions of them anyway) – great for [...]

Here is the next clue for the Search for the N: Can you tell what it is yet? These images seem to be pretty random, but they appear to be symbols: e.g. More code for dots and dashes, Binary for 010101 and Semaphore for the flags. Or that could all just be wrong and they [...]
Part of the first clue from yesterday’s post: S60 – confirmed on WOMWorld. Plus this one I had overlooked which has recently surfaced. At first, I actually tried scanning it with the barcode reader on the N82 to see if anything would come up. Finally getting somewhere: First clue = S60/_ _ _ /_ _ [...]
Last Thursday, I went to London for an interesting trip to the Cinema, and was told that Nokia have scattered 7 “N’s” around the UK. Over the next few days, clues will be provided to search for Ns. The first of these has just arrived at my door. My housemate just gave me a random [...]

The Ovi store is Nokia’s attempt to take back the reigns in the Smartphone world by delivering those oh so crucial applications easily to users, enhancing the usability of their Nokia devices.

Symbian Foundation have released a new video for developers. I can’t but wonder, what is on offer here that these developers can’t get by making the apps for the iPhone? Much rides on the hope that Ovi will be a successful distribution platform for these Symbian apps. Find out more about Symbian Foundation from their [...]
The latest episode of the Phone Show covers: The E75 Xenon Flash Photography Top 10 iPhone games Interview with Rafe about the N97 Xenon Aah, Steve Litchfield – one of the very few people I could battle in a moan and groan about the importance of XENON in mobile phone photography. I agree whole heartedly [...]
…or if you don’t like travelling, you can share your thoughts over the phone. If you are up for travelling, you’ll be going to one of the research centres in New York/London or Helsinki where you’ll use Ovi, “on the internet, a PC and on a mobile phone”. Throughout, you’ll be sharing your thoughts about [...]
This is two separate news but I’m covering them both in this post. Nokia N97 firmware on the N97 The first is the 5800 with N97′s firmware – this means the coveted active widgets that N97 product managers have said would be exclusive to the N97. [via JUSTAMP] New Nokia 5800 to get Capacitive displays? [...]
Applications address the limitations of our phones; shifting new interest into tired devices either by bringing wished features or an entirely new use not considered before. Ovi will be “the door” to bring those applications to our devices. So that’s why, for me, the best feature on the N97 is OVI. Once I get used/”bored” [...]
