E65 RSS FeedTwitterers love Nokia – in all its forms
October 11th, 2008
We love Twitter for its very randomness, but occasionally it throws up some absolute gems, especially when Nokia devices are being discussed.
A couple of people have been noticing the E71, kapilb saying he saw ‘at least 5 people’ using the device, and he wants on very much. Topgold ‘overheard’ on Jaiku that the E71 is ‘fast’ and the user couldn’t use the N95 because of it. aDB is coming to love his Symbian device, and lets everyone know it’s an E65.

Nokia headphone design and alarm shortcut
October 6th, 2008
Mark Guim over on The Nokia Blog has picked up on the Music Almighty Headset competition from Nokia that allows users to design their dream headset. He’s published his own, so jump over to have a look and find out more about Music Almighty.
Mark also brings to relief to weary fingers with a key-stroke saving tip for setting alarms on your S60 device. Little did he (or I!) know that by opening the clock app and simply entering the time on the number pad you can set an alarm. Neat, if not revolutionary!
Jump through the links above to leave your comments for Mark or ask any questions.

10 ‘must have’ apps for the N95
October 1st, 2008
..or any other S60 device for that matter. Keith Dsouza from Techie Buzz has posted a list for his readers, and it seems a great place to start for anyone getting their hands on a device for the first time.
The list reads like a Who’s Who of apps that others have said improve their device experience, and range from Fring to Gmail to emTube. There is an app on the list that covers every aspect of device use from video to browsing even down to calculations (Calcium). A perfect place to start for anyone looking to install their first apps on a new device?
Are there any Keith missed? Any you’d add to the list for a new starter? Jump over and let him know.

Nokia Email Service explained
September 17th, 2008
Teo writing over on Symbian Freak has been looking into the Nokia Email Service and has posted an easy to digest list of features and shortcut keys that will help any user get to grips with the release from Nokia.
Features highlighted range from sorting emails to search, while there is a fantastic run down of the shortcut keys one can use while running Nokia Email service both for numeric and QWERTY keypads - yes, that’s 26 shortcuts right at your fingertips! Teo also talks bout how Nokia Beta Labs, where the Email service is now available from, works. Worth a read if you’ve never investigated before.
Jump over to the thread on the Symbian Freak forums to join the discussion.

N95 camera scratches – do they matter?
September 11th, 2008
Much has been made of the lack of lens protection on some of Nokia’s devices, but Steve Litchfield from All About Symbian has gone into Myth Buster mode to try and sort out the issue once and for all.
He has taken his much-cared-for N95 which has a series of fine scratches on the lens despite his constant cleaning of the glass (what he didn’t realise was he was grinding in microscopic particles of dirt with his shirt corner) and has taken some snaps to prove his point. The point being that until there is an issue with flare from a bright light (flash in a mirror or direct sun) there is very little difference as to whether scratches on the lens are actually a problem.
Do you agree with Steve’s conclusions? What are your experiences with your device’s camera? Head over and join the comment stream.

Best video player for S60?
August 27th, 2008
Scott Janousek, posting on his blog, has brought his readers a digest of some of the best S60 flash video players (rather than just video file players like DivX) on the market.
EmTube gets a mention, along with screen shots and the assertion that it is Scott’s favourite – he likes the UI and says it is a ‘nice native S60’ player. MobiTubia also gets the thumbs up for being ‘simple but effective’, but FLVPlayer didn’t seem to work for him. He mentions a few other options, including an appeal to his readers asking if they have developed a video player of their own.
Can you help Scott in his appeal? Which video player is your favourite? Jump in and have your say.

Keep track of your device with Phonelocator
August 22nd, 2008
Rafe from All About Symbian and Apoc from Symbian Freak have both reported on the new Phonelocator app that helps you geo-track your device.
Apoc writes that the ‘realtime GPS tracking’ app lets you use maps to see where your device is that very moment, and also allow others to know. Rafe has done a real life test (by attaching a device to his dog), but hasn’t published the results as they weren’t terribly good. He does include some screen shots of the app, though, which help show how it works.
Is this something you’d download to your device? What uses can you see for this? Head over and let Rafe know, or join in the SF forum thread.

More free apps sites
August 22nd, 2008
Having seen yesterday’s post on where to find the best free apps, gerrymoth - the Nokia Addict – has posted his own directory.
Separated neatly into categories by producer of the app, gerrymoth breaks down the list into four easy sections. Starting with Nokia-produced content, he has all the usual suspects from Chat to Maps, before moving on to externally sourced apps. There’s the Epocware set (Handy Taskman and Handy Converter included) and Google’s ‘Gaggle’ (Maps and Mail), followed by a whole host of others. All the apps you read about are listed, and this is a perfect place to start for the new user looking to pimp their device.
Are you a newbie just starting out? How is this list for you? Power users, anything that should be added? Jump over and let gerrymoth know what you think.

S60 in real life
August 21st, 2008
Tarek Esber, writing on his blog and prompted by a Tweet from a contact of his, has posted about what he really uses his S60 devices for (currently the E51 and E65).
Having spent time with an iPhone, Tarek really likes the way it is ‘easy’ to geo-tag pictures on the S60 platform, and stream video via Qik. He also missed the ability to transfer files using Bluetooth and tethering to an internet connection if WiFi isn’t available. He also felt ‘trapped having to do things the Apple way’ at times, and was happy to be release by S60 to do as he pleased.
Have you experienced the two? What are your thoughts on the benefits of S60? Jump over and let Tarek know.

New Nokia enhanced calculator – forum thoughts
August 21st, 2008
Following on from the recent announcement of Nokia’s enhanced calculator, the IPMart forum has a large thread discussing its pros and cons.
There’s a lot of thanks given to original poster cred, with the discussion then turning to its merits. [Master] says that it is better than the pre-installed Nokia calculator, but bchliu reckons it is a ‘rip-off’ of the Calcium app many have on their devices. hamzaB reports that there is already an update, probably just to iron out any bugs that may have crept into the original.
Have you tried this calculator yet? Is it better for you than others? Join in the forum discussion and let other know your thoughts.
