I’m going to be honest here, I personally believe that this is the best DWTG episode yet. I’ve got another quick look at the Nokia E90, specifically the recently gone-public Nokia Maps 2.0 (with fixed softkey labels!) and Widsets, which has Widsets Pets, a new favorite pasttime for me.I also take a minute to show you the Plantronics 925 (that’s the Bluetooth headset review for today, hehe), which will be fully reviewed soon. The recent hubbub over N-Gage comes up, as well, and I’m really anxious to see how Nokia responds, as there is quite a bit of attention on the matter.As always, you can watch the episode right here, download it in your favorite desktop podcatcher with this link, or download the Symbian-Guru OPML file (which has been updated with the new SMSTextNews podcast!) to get a whole boatload of mobile, symbian, and technology-related podcasts.

    Thanks for this lovely episode about especially the Plantronic Bluetooth headset, Nokia Maps and the discussion of N-gage.

    Great that they have been fixing the speed of Nokia Maps as it took a HUGE amount of time before.

    When it comes to N-gage. I totally agree with you about the thought of the total cost of purchasing both a new handset and then the games again.
    And as a consumer I do hope that their current method of activation will be fixed to the better.

    Widsets is without a doubt one of my favorites.
    In the program it says that the application will close when you open up webpage from the widsets app. However it doesn’t do that (At least in N82)
    It still is open and I’m glad that it does so.

    One problem though I experienced from my last upgrade was that I got two icons of Widsets whereas one of them wouldn’t work.
    This was due to that I had installed the Widsets application in my memory card.
    So as you mentioned installing the application in the phone memory will both lead to faster startup and avoid the problem of having duplicates.

    Looking forward for the review on the Bluetooth headset.

    Best regards from a daily reader >_<

    Total appropeiate side note RC, but the only video that streamed worth a heck was the one that streamed from Viddler. The others just keep stop-n-go. Seems that there is some really great stuff in the videos, I just found myself wanting to pull my hair out after trying to watch about 5 videos.
