Let’s start 2011 with MyDreamNokia #11. This comes with a 11 photo gallery showing off a concept MeeGo Game Phone by shihuzaan. There’s no actual name, though it is labelled the usual N0 for protos (that or CO in preproduction stuff). I thought I’d call it N11. Design wise, it resembles the N81/iPhone 4 but [...]
After a few months off the grid, I thought it best to offer a short post to show Jay, Andre and the rest of the MNB gang that I’m still around… With my next upgrade coming up in the first few months of 2011, I’ve been pondering my options for my next handset. I’m keen to stick [...]
The 12MP Symbian Flagship, has apparently reached 4 million sales. I don’t know how accurate these figures are. The last time Nokia numbers were publicised, they were wrong (N900 selling only 100,000 when that was the figure in a few weeks – a geek “niche” device for tinkering, not for the masses which Nokia claims [...]
NokiaSaga reports that some major firmware updates are coming for both N97 and N97 mini. Remember them? Well relatively major. N97 and N97 mini maybe receiving integrated Yahoo! powered Ovi Chat as part of the PR3 and PR2 update. Hurray, they have not been totally forgotten! Though with the big brother, some (like the team [...]
Neat little video found by Jim of a very cool Flickr Viewer for the Nokia N8 and other Symbian^3 devices. This video demonstrates QML based QuickFlickr i.e. Flickr client running on Symbian device (N8). What you see on the video is not the final product and it lacks many features, graphics and it still has [...]
A frequent suggestion in blog comments relating to Nokia is to go with Android/WP7 and when it was available, to go buy Palm for WebOS. Why? Nokia has in house, Symbian and Maemo, the latter of which has become MeeGo – though the phone side has no presence on the market since there are no [...]
The Fig-Rig is a little like your Flowpod or Merlin Steadicam holders – you attach a video camera (or any device capable of recording video) and using its magical powers cuts out all that jerkiness in motion and produces silky smooth professional looking videos. It’s useful whether you’re using professional grade dedicated video cameras or [...]
Engadget reports that Nokia will be shipping Dual Core Symbian Devices next year with a revamped UI. Well, Symbian has always been open about its roadmap. Back in February this year they mentioned this in exact detail (when they were still Symbian Foundation and Symbian^N was still the norm). Now Nokia has taken Symbian development [...]
Bot list on N8. You add them as widgets which can then actively “learn” your preferences. Which contacts, short cuts, and general usage stuff like battery/calendar Nokia Bots – I enjoyed this app on my N97. Now it’s available for Symbian^3 users. For S60 5th users, it’s also received an update: some performance updates bug [...]
In the i8910 now N8 custom ROM scene, those aware of HyperX may also be aware of the “rivalry” with equally cool guy known as faenil. He’s contacted us to share his own custom firmware for the Nokia N8 which as well as bringing 30FPS 720 video also delivers lagless recording Raise in audio quality [...]

Erm, yes please. Wellness diary makes it easy to set goals, monitor progress and if you wish share achievements with others. Improve your health [...]
Clear Black Display was possibly the most surprising thing that came out of Nokia World. Yes there was the E7 itself but we kinda knew about that already. CBD was immediately shown by Engadget themselves to have the edge over SUPER AMOLED in 3GS and IPS LD in iPhone 4. Most recently, GSM Arena has [...]
Thanks Adnan who found this on eBay (via Symbian Tweet and Smartphone Arena)- here we can see what is supposedly a Nokia Prototype found on eBay. It sports a slide out keypad like the N95 family (N85, N86, N96) and bears a Carl Zeiss 12MP camera with Xenon Flash. There’s also a kickstand like the [...]
With Symbian coming back under the full control of Nokia, the following Symbian websites are expected to shut down from 17th December 2010. www.symbian.org, www.symbian.org/cn, www.symbian.org/jp developer.symbian.org, developer.symbian.org/cn, developer.symbian.org/jp horizon.symbian.org ideas.symbian.org blog.symbian.org, blogcn.symbian.org, blogjp.symbian.org Everything is still available (see symbian.org) so if you have to download platform source codes they are available now. Afterwards, Symbian [...]
Back in February, Nokia Conversations covered a post about a concept phone that folks wished Nokia Made. It was called the Nokia Orion and resembled a gameboy advance esque (now N8 esque) tapered edges. It’s a little more streamlined than the orion with totally flat seamless front unlike the N8 and E7 with bezels and [...]
Now we’ve seen 5800 “hacks” where Symbian has been modified to have different UI, e.g. HTC Sense, Windows XP, Maemo 5 etc (using GDesk). Here are some Qt based UI modifications that Jim has come across. You may have seen them before (they are dated Feb/March of this year) but they’re still pretty cool. There [...]
Here’s three new Nokia India adverts, showing Maps, Camera and Ovi Store as part of the “What would you do with it” campaign.
PhoneArena‘s got their hands on the C6-01 and have got some video samples and a video review. The C6-01 is the cheapest of the Symbian^3 offerings but it doesn’t skimp out too much and is very good value for money. Build quality wise PhoneArena were more impressed with the C7. They seem to have a [...]
Send your comments to mynokiablog.com/symbian-features-wishlist << CLICK This will be a new page that will be updated on ~(about) a WEEKLY basis to collate any features or bugs/problems you and I wish Symbian to have. Some features maybe: already in the works for next firmware (or next version of that app), some maybe coming in [...]
Your N8 may be receiving a firmware update in a couple of weeks time according to resident Nokia guru alex68 That’s the same guy who’s shown us the new browser, dragable homescreen and portrait QWERTY keyboard (as well as other Nokia info). So he’s seated himself quite a reputation. Currently we’re on firmware 1.0. But [...]
Yes, the video is as odd as the title. It’s an add for an App called Kiss and Slap, demoed on the Nokia 5233. Here’s a fun ad for the ‘Kiss and Slap’ App for Nokia Touch Devices. Send Kisses or Slaps to your friends, right from your phone. This one of its kind fun [...]
