Hello MNB Readers! Our friend, Steve Litchfield, over at All About Symbian has a duo of camera shootout articles that are worthy of a read and extended look. While celebrating N8 Day, Steve pulled out the former World Champion camera title belt holder (N8) and put it in a shootout against what is considered the cream of the [...]
Hello All, In this day and age of superphones, HD screens, Quad and Dual-Core CPUs, millions of polygons per second GPUs, unibody construction, 5+inch screens and 41MP monster cameras and nearly a million apps across OSes, I almost wonder how did we make it in the “dark ages” of mobile technology a few years ago. While [...]

Dear MNB readers, Our Nokia loving friends over at Symbiantweet have given the heads up that Nokia Suite has been updated to version 3.5.14 Beta! The new suite provides the usual bug fixes and improvements but in my opinion the BIG update is the added Nokia N9 support! New functionality in 3.5 release: Copy content between [...]
I came across this video and upon watching it, many memories of Nokia rushed through my mind, its old struggles and new struggles, competition from rivals Samsung, Apple, OS rivals-Android, iOS and basically the media at large. Maybe it is just me and my memories of using Nokia tech, TV-out via RGB, GPUs back in the OMAP24xx era, [...]
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 [...]
It seems that Voddler launched an app to be used with Symbian this time. “The app is free and works on Symbian smartphones that have upgraded to Symbian Anna.” According to Voddler’s website “at launch, the app has about 250 movies activated for mobile viewing, but new titles will be added on a running basis [...]
The Ovi Store (ver. 2.8) update, which is expected to bring improved performance, app updates (finally) and a few other niceties and improvements is supposedly finding it’s way out to users as we speak. With this update coming out now and hints of PR 2.0 being imminent, it’s a good time to be a Symbian [...]

I know this post is going to lead to a lot of derision from readers but to be perfectly honest, brutal honesty is necessary from time to time. Yesterday, Nokia announced their update to Symbian, named Anna which brought to the platform a number of key improvements including a new browser, updated homescreen animations, the [...]
The first thing I thought when I saw the announcements made at Nokia’s Symbian event was “wow, that E6 sure is a looker; Wish the X7 was as exciting as this is.” Strange that I’d think that, especially given the larger screen and more expansive, touch-based interface on the X7 as opposed to the E6 [...]
One of the main complaints about Windows Phone 7 upon its release was its utter lack of text selection and/or copy and paste, a dire failure if ever there was one; Especially in light of the fact that almost every smartphone platform has had such a simple feature since their inception. Having been running a [...]
Nokia Beta Labs has just gone through what must be the 2nd UI overhaul in the past year or so and I must say, these guys have really been on the ball lately. In addition to the initial wow factor, there also seems to be a growing degree of consistency between Nokia’s websites with Nokia [...]
Reader, “deep space bar” commented that the Nokia C7 is coming to Canada with WINDMOBILE exclusively with PR2.0. Yeah, I misread that also as Windows Mobile. Mobile Syrup also confirms that Wind Mobile is getting the Nokia C7 but does not mention PR2.0. It would make sense as T-Mobile is picking up the Nokia C7 [...]
PhoneArena has published their 10 minute video review of the Nokia E7 Chicklet style physical QWERTY very comfortable to type on, with various language layout. One of the best keyboard experiences they’ve encountered. One of the best QWERTY keyboards we’ve tested on any handset Display almost infinite contrast with pitch black pixels. Visibility outside decent. [...]
A lot has been made in the blogosphere about Symbian smartphones occupying a different category of devices than the Android and iOS powered superphones. In a sense, there seems to be a lot pointing towards this being true, with many Symbian users buying and using their devices much as they would dumbphones. Not because the devices [...]
A lot has been made of Nokia’s recent decision to eschew their current smartphone ecosystem strategy in favor of a Microsoft based approach. Having done a detailed impressions post and published a list of my gripes with the current state of the Windows Phone software and ecosystem, I felt it’d be important to gauge the [...]
Here’s the Nokia Developer Day keynote titled, “Nokia’s Three Year Ecosystem Vision”from MWC with Nokia’s CTO Rich Green (ex Sun Software boss), some guests and other members of the Nokia team. It’s roughly 50 minutes over four videos. I’ve copied some slides down from first two vids but note, Rich mentions more around those slides. [...]
Hi there, folks. Its me again. Have been very silent due to various things, one of them being all these rumors surrounding the Capital markets day, and we all know how that went for us, Nokia fans. Shocking is an understatement. Yes, the above image is the echoing sentiment across many Nokia/Symbian/Meego fans.Honestly,I had been [...]
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 [...]
