Apologies if the title of this post sounded like an advertisement, it is  not! I have been keeping pretty busy these last few days and because of that I couldn’t inform you in time about the latest S60 Ambassador campaign called N-Gage: Level 2.

Sadly the maximum number of slots for the campaign are already filled and no more people can join, but that’s not why I am writing this post. I am writing this to urge the ones who are not yet ambassadors to join the WOM program.
Why am I …

We have waited and we have waited, yet despite there even being a touch S60 handset, there has been no method to copy text from webpages in the S60 browser. There have been workarounds but even they have been hardly successful.

However, the solution I have just hit upon holds promise. On a previous post of mine about copying text from the S60 browser, Cousin Issac has written about a website called Mobitol he has made that pops the entire text of the entire webpage into a text box from which …

I have some amazing news for you, dear readers. If you recall I was participating in the Nokia N96 Challenge to win you 5 trials of Nokia N96. I have won! So that means five lucky people out of you will be getting their hands on a N96 soon.

At the start of the competition, I had outlined the ways in which you could win the trials:

Two N96’s will be raffled away amongst the commenters on any post on the entire blog, starting today.

The russian site Mobile-Review is at it again. This time they have managed to preview the Nokia N86, the post contains sample images from the N86′s camera and also two video samples. The images look great although there are not many low light shots in the picture set.

The preview also contains some interesting titbits such as the fact that the Nokia N86 was referred to as the N85 8MP before it was decided that a new index would be better.

The Mobile World Congress saw Nokia release not two, not four by five new S60 devices. We have all seen pictures, videos and basic specifications of the N86, E55, E75, 6710 Navigator and the 6720 Classic but the real geeks and S60 enthusiasts are always interested in the insides of the device, what processor the phone runs, supported Bluetooth profiles and so on.
For those of you Forum Nokia has published the technical specifications of all the above mentioned devices. The interesting thing to note here is that Nokia has slowly …

At the MWC the GSMA has announced a plan for major phone manufacturers to produce one standard microUSB charger that would work across all handset brands. The plan has the blessings of major manufacturers including Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Motorola & LG amongst others.

Recent devices from Nokia such as the N97, N85 and the just announced N86 already support microUSB charging and the plan is to make most devices support this standard by 2012.

After the Nokia E75, it is now time of the Nokia N86 to be demoed in video. The N86 is Nokia’s latest imaging flagship that boasts of a 8MP camera and a 3rd generation dual LED flash. The USP of the camera is the presence of a wide-angle Carl Zeiss Tessar lens for panoramic pictures, shorter latencies and variable aperture for super sharp photos in challenging bright and low light conditions.

The N86 was officially announced today on the second day of the MWC. Full specifications here.

Samsung today unveiled the Omnia HD i8190, a device that could well possibly be the phone of the MWC. The phone runs on S60 5th Edition, packs a 3.7″ AMOLED display, an 8MP camera and is capable of full 720p HD video recording, a first for any S60 smartphone.

At just 12.7mm, it is pretty slim and pleasing to the eye. The device is completely touch based and the few buttons that it has are placed similar to those on the Nokia 5800.

What follows is a set of four videos based around the E75 that covers the E75 in detail. Right from the story behind it to the unboxing, to a brief play with the device and finally a close look at its exteriors.

Perfect, if you are not in the mood to read about the E75.

Here is it folks, the official datasheet of the Nokia N86, a device which infact has turned out to the an N85 successor rather than being the N82 replacement for we still don’t have Xenon.

Notable specs include a 1200 mAh battery, a 2.6″ AMOLED screen, FM Transmitter, 7 hours of Video/Gaming and 25 hours of audio playback, AGPS & Digital Compass, S60 3rd Edition FP2. It weighs 149g and is 103.4 x 51.4 x 16.5 mm in size.
