The Nokia 5530 XpressMusic which was unwrapped rather than announced the usual way has now hit the FCC. This handset features kinetic scrolling, a new widget for music playback on the homescreen and a virtual qwerty keyboard for text input, as well as the full Symbian S60 5th Edition software.
It’s a quadband handset, with a [...]
We’ve already talked a little about this in our previous post The truth about S60, Symbian and Maemo, but now it’s official. According to the official Symbian Blog, Symbian is the branding name, including the platform, applications and the device itself. S60, on the other hand, will be phased out.
The most interesting part is that [...]
For the recent N97 users, there is no inbuilt screensaver that displays the time. If you search for the word screensaver on the inbuilt help it doesn’t even show up! Neither is there a way to assign a flash file to be a screensaver.
The solution is to install third party applications on the N97 such [...]
This morning, Nokia announced the new BH-905 Stereo Bluetooth Headset, complete with active noise cancellation. This headset is not only stylish, but adds several key features that many of you have requested in previous headsets. For starters, the active noise cancellation uses a unique combination of low and high frequencies to eliminate background noise, making [...]

One of the new features implemented and bragged about in the Nokia N86 8mp is the new Panorama mode in the Camera. If you remember clearly, Nokia aquired Bit-Side GmBH, the makers of the former panorama application for S60 devices, Panoman, in January of this year. Seeing their application implemented and functional on the N86 [...]
Last year, it was called the Symbian Smartphone Show, but this year, they’ve changed it to the Symbian Exchange and Exposition (SEE), which is a bit easier to abbreviate. So, what is it? It’s an opportunity for Symbian community members to ‘get together to talk, promote their ideas, and drive development together through conversation’. SEE [...]

I came across this video today and thought it was rather fun — there’s no doubt that cell phones have come a long way since the mid-80s when they were first commercially available to consumers. My first cell phone was a Qualcomm candybar, I don’t remember the model number but I remember it had a [...] Read More »

It’s Thursday boys ‘n girls. I must be getting old because the weeks are just becoming one big blur. It’s definitely true that time passes faster as you get older. It’s already been 2 weeks since Michael Jackson passed away, even now it still hasn’t quite sunk in. I watched the memorial... Read More »
One of the things that stroke me when I first turned on the Nokia N86 8MP was that I was greeted with a totally new Welcome Wizard, which is now appropriately called Phone Setup. We have been asking for a new welcoming screen for months now that would make it simpler to get started with... Read More »

One of the things that I really love about my Nokia N79 is how informative the homescreen is. At a glance, I have quick access to 6 applications, can quickly see if I have any new emails or upcoming calendar events, and see if there are any WiFi hotspots in range. Unfortunately, I also have [...] Read More »
Larsson is one of my favorite themers, mainly because his themes are simple and use brilliant colors. A great example of this is Larsson’s Blue Touch Pro theme, with a very calming tone of blue. This theme was released previously, but had a few bugs and other issues, and so he decided recently to spruce [...] Read More »
