E61i RSS FeedT9nav for S60 in review, plus Shozu embraces Ovi
June 27th, 2008
Zach on Symbian in Motion is a big fan of SkyeQuiKey, the app for controlling and launching a number of items by typing direct from your Active Standby screen. He has however happened upon a competitor in this arena in the form of T9nav.
Zach pitches T9nav against the benchmarks set by SkyeQuiKey and while it does the job, it doesn’t live up to his expectations. Jump over for Zach’s full review.
In other application news, Mobile Diva Darla Mack has brought the news that Share on Ovi has now been integrated into Shozu (along with 8 other services, bringing the total to 46!). Jump over for the full article.

N95, N95 8GB and E61i battle the Glastonbury mud
June 26th, 2008
Fans of the UK music scene can’t have failed to notice that Glastonbury is kicking off this week.
Attending this years party is one James Whatley who, in true Whatley style, will be coping with the entire experience with the aid three - count ‘em - Nokia handsets: the N95, N95 8GB and the E61i.
As well as these devices, James has provided a run down of the accessories he’ll be using (largely for power) and apps that will be helping him as he battles the Somerset mud-plains, including Qik, Spinvox and Oranges ‘GlastoNav’ software, designed specifically for coping with the festival. Worth a look if you’re heading down there yourself.

Bh-703 headset comes up trumps
June 23rd, 2008
Alex Bhaswara at Nokia Fanboy has hooked himself into the BH-703 headset, and been very pleased with what he’s found.
Comparing the headset to his own BH-208 he found every aspect improved with the great design and longer talk-time being particular advantages. On top of this, Alex was very taken with the DSP (digital signal processing) noice cancellation technology which made using the headset while cycling a much more pleasant experience.

E61i in review
June 20th, 2008
With the launch of the E71 this week, you may be wondering what came before. Well, the answer is the E61i and Christian Titze over on Symbian World has done us the service of a new review.
From unboxing through to screenshots, this article has it all, showing off all the pros and cons of this Qwerty brandishing productivity tool. There’s specs as well for those of you so inclined, and Christian’s overall impression is very positive with the handful of downpoints - such as the 2.5mm headphone jack - not being enough to knock the E61i from its stand as a great device.

New version of Map Loader available
June 19th, 2008
A new verison of Nokia Map Loader is now available and Dotsisx at Symbian Guru has covered the news.
The latest update (now available from Beta labs) brings various upates, the most interesting of which is the ability to purchase guides and navigation from within the app rather than from your device. Dotsisx thinks the added functionality is good, but is wary of the various hoops one needs to jump through to get the new version installed.

The Nseries/Eseries conundrum
June 18th, 2008
Vaibhav Sharma over on The Symbian Blog has been wondering whether the lack of an Nseries QWERTY device, and the release of the E71 with all its updates, means that potential users might be moved to check it out over an Nseries offering?
Vaibhav thinks that while Eseries and Neries may be moving closer together, the divide is still there and features such as the 2.5mm headset jack make this clear. However, his question is where the line should be drawn, and where compromises should be made? In his opinion, he wants to at least see moves to make the core user experience of each device comparable.
