In this world of S60 and Symbian, one thing I have always found very hard yet intriguing to follow are the tools used for developing applications. I love installing applications on my handsets, but I don’t know the first thing about the process that goes in the background: the coding, the debugging, the testing… I [...]
Just in case you’re still interested in the Nokia N96, we’ve gotten word from Darla Mack that the Nokia N96 NAM (that’s packing dual-band UMTS (850/1900MHz) support for AT&T’s 3G network) is now available in limited quantities at both of the Nokia Flagship stores here in the U.S. Pricing is set at a staunch US$842 [...]
Every Friday morning, we used to bring you Friday Fun to wish you a nice weekend. We’re putting that on hiatus for a short while, as we explore a new weekly series of posts. We all love our devices, we all love how they look, but how about what we actually see on our screen? [...]
Flixwagon has just added support for uploading to Share on Ovi through its site, adding yet another option for you to quickly and effortlessly upload video to your Share on Ovi channels directly from your handset. I’ve used Flixwagon before, to video my wedding, and it works pretty good. They’ve released several updates lately, and [...]
As I’ve just arrived home from California, Dotsisx requested to host this weeks’ show, which of course was great. We’ve also temporarily renamed the show ‘Freezing with Dotsisx’, as you can visibly see her breath, and hear how cold she is while filming. Rita hosts this week’s show, on location from Paris, France! To show [...]
The biggest news of the morning is that of the Nokia N85 NAM sliding through the FCC’s approval process. This is the phone that will replace my aging N95-3, and while the Euro version is already out, I’ve mostly decided to hold out until the NAM version hits the market, for full US 3G support. [...]
Oh the N96! I’ve had such a love and hate relationship with this handset, even before having touched it, that I don’t know where to start from. When I got the N96 last week, as a part of the Challenges, I told myself that I’ll try to look at it with new eyes, without any [...]
While I personally am still stuck on Handy Taskman, PseudoFinn is a new convert to Jbak TaskMan, which has recently been updated. PseudoFinn put the two task managers head-to-head a little while back, and if you recall, Jbak was the clear winner, so it’s definitely worth checking out. Jbak Taskman is a free application, and [...]
One of the coolest parts of being The Guru is getting to meet all sorts of people, including readers and other bloggers. My recent vacation to California was no exception, as I got a chance to meet up with Matthew Bennett from Nokia Daily News. You’ll find his video show in the Symbian Guru OPML [...]
