N81 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.

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.

E71 and N81 get the review treatment.
June 19th, 2008
Over on Sevendotzero, Jonathan Jensen has reviewed both the N81 and the recently announced E71.
Both reviews are sharp and to the point with the once over of the E71 praising the form factor and new software options on the device, while the N81 review is a more mixed affair where Jonathan sums up the device as ‘a great idea but somewhat flawed in implementation’.

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.

N82 ‘real world review’ plus Google Reader update
June 13th, 2008
Over on The Symbian Blog, Vaibhav Sharma has posted both a ‘real world review’ of the N82 (black) and some info on an update to Google Reader for S60.
Taking Google Reader first, Vaibhav reports on an update to Google Reader as rendered on some S60 devices (not E61i for example). He also includes screenshots from his E90 and N95. RichB commenting, doens’t like the new look, though Vaibhav is beginning to get used to it.
Meanwhile, the black N82 has been wooing Vaibhav who finds it ‘much more appealing’ than the silver version. Having reviewed it from a tech point of view already, he looks at what friends and family think of the device and reports their views. Jump over from some interesting insights.

Widsets and Ovi Share get a Summer wardrobe
June 11th, 2008
A couple of interesting updates for those in the Nokia world come in the form of a Widsets upgrade and enhancements for Share on Ovi.
Pseudofinn on Nokia Users has looked at the update to Widsets which he says will bring a big change to the My Profile widget increasing the feature set in sharing your favorite widsets (amongst other info) with others. He also includes a run down of other more minor updates.
Meanwhile, Vaibhav Sharma on The Symbian Blog brings news of support for the PicLens plug-in for Share on Ovi - a very nifty solution for full screen browsing. Alongside this, Vaibhav brings word of a new ‘extra large’ image size plus his own ideas for what updates should be implemented in the future.

Remapping the keypad on your device
June 9th, 2008
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.

S60 VoIP clients
June 9th, 2008
Antony Pranata from the S60Tips.com site has posted an update to his year-old article on VoIP apps.
He lists Gizmo as ‘one of the most popular’, but recommends the native version over the Java app. Truphone ‘used’ to be his favourite due to its ability to switch between networks seamlessly, but his allegiances have shifted. EQO, he says, uses the cellular network to route calls, and also supports IM clients. Skype, fring and Yeigo also get a look in, but Antony can’t recommend any one VoIP over another. He says it all depends on what you as a user are looking for, as all of the clients utilise different aspects to make them ‘unique’.
Which VoIP is your favourite? Which would you like to see explored further by Antony? Jump over and let him know.

Nokia BH-703 headset reviewed
June 6th, 2008
While devices may in themselves be great things, they can be improved even further with the addition of the odd enhancement or two…
Gerrymoth, he of Nokia Addict, has shown just what a bluetooth headset can bring to the party by
reviewing the Nokia BH-703 headset, a ‘cool’ looking in-the-ear headset that offers USB charging - a great addition in Gerrymoth’s eyes. Despite these plus points however, the headset just wouldn’t stay in his ear very easily, which is obviously frustrating for such a product and was the one thing that stopped enjoyment from what else was on offer.

Built in IM client – makes messaging a dream
June 5th, 2008
jamespowell1989 from Talk About Nseries has brought a handy hint to the space, for those of us who haven’t discovered the built-in IM client on our devices.
He introduces the Mobjab application that will connect your device to any IM gateway that you choose. With a handy step-by-step guide, James walks us through the process, with screenshots at each stage. He reckons once you’re signed up, then the ‘simple and easy to use interface’, coupled with the ‘huge area’ available to view conversations makes for a very pleasant experience. James says that the functionality (such as being able to change the alert tone when you receive a message) makes this app ‘streets ahead’ of any of its rivals.
Have you downloaded this app? Are you a fan of a Mobjab rival? What would you like to see developed further as far as IM on your device goes? Head over to James’ site and air your views.
