When the Symbian Foundation unveiled its new branding campaign, I immediately thought they should have someone put together an official theme, complete with the funky images and yellow color scheme. Given that I’m not a themer, it’s not something I was able to do for myself, but it looks like someone did, after all. Greg [...]
Although I love taking pictures and I’m known amongst my friends as the one who usually ends up with the best photographic results no matter what the occasion is, the Nokia N86 8Mp didn’t really appeal to me at first. It was (and still is) undoubtedly one of the most packed mobile devices in that [...]
It’s no secret – we’re huge fans of PixelPipe, the service that breathed new life into Nokia’s Share Online application. When they first launched, it was a bit tricky to get things setup, so the team quickly put together a handy widget, so you can create or manage your account right from your phone, easily. [...]
The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is over a year old, but as you know, I’m still loving it. Nokia is, too, and they’ve released a new version, called the 5800 Navigation Edition.

After the article was published, we received a lot of feedback on the site as well as on Twitter, especially regarding displaying images from the news items. The feedback was forwarded to the developers [...]
Well-known themer TehkSeven recently put together a video, appealing to Nokia in regards to his N97, which suffers from the same firmware issues that I experienced in my review earlier this year. The video is pretty pointed, and we’ve confirmed that Nokia has been passing it around internally, which is awesome. The video is a [...]
A while back, AllAboutSymbian discovered that some content on the Ovi Store could be redownloaded after it was purchased. This is a big deal, as it was one of the major complaints from users who had purchased content through the store. The Ovi Store team heard your cries, and has now put together a quick [...]
Nokia’s ‘Online as it Happens’ campaign has inspired a series of mockumercials entitled “Offline as it Happens”. In these short films the main character, John, finds himself caught in a set of unfortunate and embarrassing circumstances as he leads a life “Offline as it Happens”. Obviously, John could have easily avoided any of these situations [...]
