Gallery and thoughts - N97 and N86

July 4th, 2009

Dotsisx warns us at the beginning of her post on Symbian Guru that it’s going to be ‘heavy’ and drops the bomb that the gallery is going to be in retro black and white. Fair play.

So what do you think? Is black and white the way to go for modern galleries? What about the devices themselves? Head over and share your thoughts with Dotsisx.

Firmware update for E66/E71

July 3rd, 2009

Now boasting v300.21.012, the Eseries devices have got a firmware update in the last 24 hours. Reported widely (as ever) across the space, among those to carry news of the update are All About Symbian’s Rafe, and Apoc over at Symbian Freak.

Changes noticed so far include updates to Mail For Exchange and Nokia Messaging, and ‘a number of widget-powered shortcuts to popular social media sites’. There’s a thread open on the SF Forum if you’ve noticed any other changes since you upgraded. *As ever, always back up before you upgrade.*

Teaching with the E75

July 3rd, 2009

Kuzma has joined the Teach The Technophobe challenge, and has posted about what he’s expecting over the coming weeks.

He reckons the project is a ‘fantastic idea’, and has signed up his friend Eddy as his Technophobe and while he eagerly awaits his first challenge, has given his thoughts on the E75. Kuzma says it is an ‘absolute blast to use’ and as he’s currently toting an E71 will be able to make comparisons between the two devices.

Living with the N97

July 2nd, 2009

Rajat Agrawal of CellPassion has got his hands on an N97, and will be keeping a daily log of his use, asking the question of whether it lives up to the title of being ‘the global leader’s flagship device’.

Rajat finds the slide mechanism of the screen ‘smooth and addictive’, but despite being impressed by the QWERTY keyboard, he finds the touchscreen to be less responsive than he’d like.
Head over to follow Rajat’s daily progress and share your experiences of the N97 with him.

Initial N97 thoughts and unboxing photos

July 2nd, 2009

Dogmann has got his hands on the N97, and with the firmware well and truly updated, had posted his initial thoughts on the Mobile Review forum.

From the ‘nice and tactile and solid’ build quality to his take on the keyboard, he certainly covers all the bases, and covers them in detail. His take, by the way, is that it is ‘quite easy to get used to’. He also covers the music player and camera, with screenshots and sample images. Good stuff.

What do you think of the device? Head over to the thread and have your say.
