This year’s Mobile World Congress is really going to be something! There’s anticipation regarding what Nokia has up its sleeve in the Nseries imaging department, E75 awaits confirmation, Samsung’s S60 5th Edition devices becon and who knows what else would we be seeing in 9 days from now.

Eldar Murtazin has let the cat out of the bag as far a one HUGE and MUCH AWAITED announcement goes – Nokia’s very own APP STORE.

As part of the N96 Challenge, I had asked all of you to send in your thoughts/reviews/opinions on anything mobile and we here we have someone who has made excellent use of the interpretation of the words – ‘anything mobile’.

She was gone.. All the time she was with me I never let go of her.. But they said love is like a butterfly, hold it too tight and it will crush.. hold it too loose and it will fly away.. That’s what happened.. I …

Delicious. Samsung is fast emerging as the main competitor for Nokia in the S60 space, it is actually not merely competing but setting the bar pretty high if the leaked Samsung Acme i8910 is anything to go by. Not only did Samsung beat Nokia in the race to the 8MP camera, it also seems all set to trump it in getting the first HD video recording capable handset to the market.

The Samsung Acme i8910 will also be the third S60 touch handset after the Nokia 5800 and the N97. It …

The E75 is sure going the E71 way, the handset that got the rare distinction of getting reviewed even before it was officially announced. The world has known about the E75 for ages now and we still await official Nokia acknowledgement, which probably should come at the Mobile World Congress that starts in ten days from now.

The E75 will weigh in at 139 grams and be 111.8 x 50.8 x 14.4 mm in size, no mean feat for a slide out full QWERTY device. It will run on a 1050 mAh battery and pack a 2.4 inch display …

As you can probably make out from the version number, Nokia has rolled out a minor firmware update for a phone I am increasing liking – the 5800 Xpress Music. The update should make the 5800 a tad faster and also quash a few bugs you might/might not have noticed.

Sadly, the update is not available OTA and you will need to turn to the NSU. However, because the 5800 supports user data preservation, it shouldn’t be too much of a pain. Lastly, the new ‘HelloOX hack’ still works if that’s something that concerns you.

Google has rolled out an update for Google Maps and with the update comes a new service called, Latitude. Latitude is a new feature of Google Maps for mobile, as well as an iGoogle gadget, that allows you to share your location with your friends and to see their approximate locations, if they choose to share them with you. You can use your Google account to sign in and easily invite friends to Latitude from your existing list of contacts or by entering their email addresses.

The service is free and …

Having unboxed the Nokia 5800 a little while ago, I have been spending some quality time with the 5800 over the last three weeks, using it as my primary phone, including travelling with it as my sole telephone/multimedia device. This in-depth review of the 5800 covers aspects such as the hardware, touch capabilities, multimedia, software and my overall conclusion.

When the Nokia 5800 was announced, it did got get me too excited. My experience with touch devices in the past (both WinMo and the iPhone) had always led me to the …
