Nokia 5800 XpressMusic First Thoughts
I’ve been using the Nokia 5800 (European variant) off and on for the past week or so, and will be posting a review soon. However, I wanted to offer some initial thoughts on the overall experience, before digging into the various features. To be honest, while I thought the 5800 XpressMusic would be a cool [...]
Highlights From 2008
It’s the end of the year, and I thought this would be a fun time to look back at 2008, both in S60 and here at Symbian-Guru, to look at some of the biggest happenings and trends of the year. January – Nokia officially confirmed it would be releasing a NAM variant of the N95 [...]
F-Secure Announces ‘Curse Of Silence’ SMS S60 Exploit
It’s amazing to me that F-Secure and other ‘security’ applications for S60 still exist. Who’s buying these apps, and why?

S60 Needs An Internet Switch
One thing that I’ve learned since I got my Nokia N95-3 is that S60 was built for high-speed internet. Being able to multitask means that I can have several data-intensive applications running at the same time, constantly pulling data down. I also have an unlimited data plan, which allows me to not worry about how [...]
Samsung i8510 Brings Surprise NAM 3G Support
I really can’t begin to explain how exciting this is: a new version of the Samsung i8510 has been found on the FCC’s website, this time sporting dual-band UMTS (850/1900MHz) with HSDPA. Yes, that means Samsung is finally bringing its S60-powered cell phones over to the U.S., and in full force with 3G support for [...]
Epocware and Smartphoneware Update Apps For S60v5
When the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic hit the shelves, it was the first S60 5th Edition handset, and as expected, presented a few issues for developers. Most S60 3rd Edition applications are compatible with S60 5th Edition, and run just fine, but there are also a handful that do not. Luckily, it doesn’t seem to be [...]
