Yesterday we saw some photos from the unannounced, mysterious Nokia E6-00 of which there is NO public image available. Thus, no one apart from Nokia staff know what it looks like, or what form factor it will have or even OS. It’s all just rumours. This was the nearest thing from rumours that we got [...]
Here are some rumours to be taken with some pinches of salt. First is that the Nokia N9 is coming in April (this year ?:p) and another MeeGo DEVICE 6 weeks later. A tablet perhaps or another phone? The same pperson @VHAho also reckons some bad corporate news coming from Nokia in February? Apparently this [...]
Mobile documents is a great app that lets you see heavy email attachments with ease; large emails and large documents are no longer a mobile-web waiting issue. Mobile picture viewer handling 71MP images on the fly PDF viewer that supports pinch and zoom, FULL SCREEN view (why the one installed on N8 can’t go full [...]
Here are some blurry video demoes of assassins creed demoed on the Nokia N8 by chavero115, cyberdri and Camb078. The first two are very, very blurry but the third by Camb078 from blog-n8.fr is a little clearer. You can get this from gameloft OR the easier route from Ovi Store. My bills have increased as [...]
In this video demo TheRacerex shows us how to Sync Gmail Calendar and Contacts on Symbian^3 devices like the Nokia N8, as well as the different ways that you can access your GMAIL email on the N8. For Calendar Sync: Settings>Phone>Mail>Mail for Exchange and pop in your details. Email, Password, put user name as the [...]
Spider-Man: Total Mayhem HD is available for download for Nokia N8/Symbian^3 users. It’s not yet on Ovi Store but it is on GameLoft’s site from your device. I got there via wapshop.gameloft.com and a specific T-Mobile link. It may be different with your particular network (you’ll have to chose or the site will automatically direct [...]
TrueCaller is a highly useful caller ID application that’s available on Windows Mobile, Android and iPhone. S60 users have been enjoying for this app for quite a while and now you can get it for Symbian^3 handsets. What is TrueCaller? TrueCaller is the most used Caller ID application on the market with social media integrations [...]
If you’re a Nokia N900 user, you might have downloaded TwimGo – a rare twitter client for Maemo 5. It’s made it’s way onto Symbian and creator Tommi Laukkanen has submitted it to the Ovi Store. It’s not yet in Qt Format (N900 version was in Qt Web Run Time) but Tommi Laukkanen says the [...]
At the start of the month, we heard about a new app in Beta Labs called SoundTrckr – an internet radio streaming app with access to over 8million fully licensed songs. Nokia Beta Labs have released some new updates including: Extended compatibility to S60 5th edition devices running on Java 2.1 beta available on Nokia [...]
Here’s a neat little app we first encountered with the Nokia N900 and Maemo 5. It’s a very, very easy to use expenses tracker to help manage your finances. At this time of the year, with the plastic and cash flying at Christmas, this app is a must have download to keep an eye on [...]
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 [...]
Air Hockey. You versus the phone as you try and score a goal with the virtual air lifted puck. First to 5 wins and each round goes to a higher level with slightly harder opponents. It’s really enjoyable (I love Air Hockey at arcades!) and great for those short distractions. It’s well worth a download. [...]
The cheaper cousin (very reasonably priced) of the Nokia N8 and C7, the rightful 5800 successor that is the C6-01 gets a software hands on demo from GSM Arena. This shouldn’t come as anything new as what you see in the N8 you’ll see also with the C7 and similarly with the C6-01. Pretty much [...]
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 [...]
Right, as battery meters and monitors go – they’re often quite boring, just telling you how much you have left by a visual indicator. If you’re lucky it might give an estimate in time remaining based on current usage. With the Nokia Battery Monitor, it really does monitor your power usage based on what [...]
Couple of great games to download for your Symbian^3 C7/C6-01/N8 and soon E7. Rally Master Pro and Galaxy on Fire (Free). nokia
“Everybody says, that Symbian^3 hasn’t changed, but look for yourself!” I’m surprised no such detailed comparison has been done. Actually planned to do it myself this weekend but caught up on coursework (which I’m half doing as I write this). But jenjaman has done an excellent job and split it into a four round match [...]
Before I begin my coursework I’ll let off some steam and rant about the social app. The Nokia Social App It really feels like a half baked offering when compared to something like gravity: Scrolling – why the hell is it so crap? You’ve got smooth scrolling in browser, photos, contacts, apps yet here it’s [...]
Here’s a 10 minute medley demo video of some casual games for Symbian^3 by FUNCASTorg (I think some are/have S60 5th versions, like Roach game). Cannon Ball Miluegg Jump (free at Ovi Store) Roach Game Down The Fly 2 It’s a great demo video as you’re given a run through of what you need to [...]
I found some old videos uploaded during Nokia World 2010 that I somehow forgot to post about. This first one shows the Proto Nokia E7 Camera. It’s not autofocus and as you’ll see here I had problems taking a non blurry shot of folks. This was possibly due to the camera shake. If I remember [...]
If I understand this correctly, Sencha Touch was built as a mobile framework for building rich applications for HTML5 enabled devices. i.e. WEBAPPS. Reading their blog, their approach is very intereting. Also moving from button focused (which can clutter your screen) to intelligent gesture focused – with importance on animations to indicate to the user [...]
