Let’s face it – it’s tough to be an S60 developer right now. While there’s a huge potential market out there, Nokia doesn’t do much to help spread new applications, though I have noticed that they’re making it easier to write the applications, by supporting a plethora of different programming languages and such. It’s also [...]
Jonathan Greene, at Atmaspheric Endeavors, has been spending some time with the T-Mobile G1 lately, and came to an interesting discovery. Apparently, when you first turn the G1 on, you’re prompted to either login to your existing Google account, or setup a new one. Doing so automatically logs you into the various Google-aspects of the [...]
Yeah, you guessed it, I’ve definitely mentioned NaHiD’s new Camo theme in this week’s episode of Mobile With The Guru, showing it off on my Nokia E71, though it’s also loaded on both my N79 and the 5800 XpressMusic. If you don’t know, you can check it out here. Also in this episode, a sneak [...]
You remember those exclusive photos of the black and red Nokia E71 from a while back, right? Good, cause they just appeared on the official E71 page on Nokia’s European website, according to E71blog.com.

Well, now we have a solution for some of your woes, if you’re a Mac S60 user, in the name of nova media. nova media is a german company that specializes in developing software to ease the [...]
A while back, you may remember the big hubbub over the ‘Curse of Silence‘ exploit that allowed an attacker to disable the messaging capabilities on Nokia’s S60 3rd Edition-powered smartphones, by sending a carefully crafted message. The attack did not hurt the rest of the phone, and was easily remedied with a hard reset. Nokia [...]
Ok, breathe. Yes, this is, hands down, the most significant theme to be created for S60 3rd Edition smartphones to date. We’ve had millions, including the original Symbian-Guru theme, which you can download here. We also had a fun time with the Flahorn icon packs, and have seen a new crop of themes using the [...]
Of all the accessories that I’m reviewing this week, I have to admit that this one is by far my favorite. I received the Brando 2nd battery USB cradles for the E71 and the N82 a while ago, and I instantly fell in love with the E71 one, the N82 on the other was another [...]
