T9nav 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.

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.

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.

E90 gets a physical

June 9th, 2008

Mark Guim from The Nokia Blog has had his hands on an E90, and brings us the first of his written reviews following on from his earlier video post, this one focussing on the physical aspects of the device.

Despite its size, Mark says the device feels ‘good to hold in the hands’, yet he can’t get away from the size of it. On the outside, Mark talks us through the screen and the ‘perfect tactile feedback’ of the keypad. He hates the camera button, however, saying that the half-way hold for auto-focus is ‘hit or miss’ and this button ‘ruins’ the experience of taking a photograph. His feelings on the internal keyboard are mixed; part of him thinks it is too big, the other part thinks having buttons like Shift and CTRL make the device seem more like a laptop. He concludes that the device is great for those who are looking for a mini-laptop, but might be too big for those looking for a more simple device.

What are your thoughts on the device? What do you want to see Mark explore in the next post? Head over and share your thoughts.

There are many reasons why you might want to remap the keys on your Nokia device: more comfortable gaming, increased productivity, or simple personal preference. If you’ve been wanting to do this for a while, you might find an app called Magic Keys particularly useful.

Z-Mario and Teo over on Symbian Freak have reviewed the app with a great walk through of how it works (including screen shots) and, of course, a download link, so you can give it a go and see what you think…

And, what do you think?! Jump over to the Symbian Freak forums to discuss more.
