Details with regard to changes/improvements are thin as of now and the update is expected to brings bug fixes and help make the device faster.
There are updates to Maps and flash, however Maps 3.0 still hasn’t made it to the E90, nor has Ovi integration which we are now seeing on newer Eseries devices. The usual caveats about backing …

In Defence Of Symbian

This post is a result of a multitude of factors. Reading different forums where people write off Symbian for other OS’s such as the ones on Blackberrys’ and the iPhone, coupled with vents from a few bloggers but most importantly the attitude of the mainstream media – the TV.

This is not being written because I am a Symbian fanboy and I hate to see people say a word against it, but because some of the criticism is plain unfair and off the mark.

The N97 Gets Unboxed – In English – Thrice!

As they say – when it rains, it pours! That’s exactly what’s happened with the Nokia N97. First we did not have a single unboxing in English, and now we have three – two video and one audio! Watching a device getting ripped out of its packaging again and again is silly, yet incredible fun. Pointless, yet addictive.

So with you further adieu, here are the videos, both high quality.

No Full Screen N-Gage Gaming On The N97 As Yet

A video of the N97 running the N-Gage application has just popped up on a Chinese website and it confirms what I had been thinking all along. The N-Gage games will run on the N97 in the 4:3 aspect ratio and the full screen will not be utilized, for now at least.
This is a good thing and a bad thing at the same time. The good thing is that the entire catalogue of N-Gage games should be available right from the start so you can get gaming the minute you …

Get The Official Facebook Application For S60 5th Edition From The Ovi Store

The first official Facebook application for S60 5th Edition devices is here in the form a .4MB Web Runtime widget and is available as a free download from the Ovi Store. The app looks like the one present on the upcoming Nokia N97, but without the home screen widget.

The vast majority of S60 3rd Edition users however have still been left in the cold. But is the Ovi Store finally coming into its own?
