As of today, I will no longer be updating Symbian-Guru.com, and will be purchasing an Android-powered smartphone – my new Nexus One should arrive tomorrow. I’ve been a Nokia fanboy since 1999, and a Symbian fanboy since I got my Nokia 6620 in summer of 2004. Since then, I’ve personally owned 10+ different Symbian-powered smartphones, [...]
In the last couple of years, a very visible trend has been picking up with Nokia-related hardware and devices: they’re becoming cheap, way too cheap. While this isn’t a bad thing per se, and is bringing the smartphone to the masses (think C5, 5800 XpressMusic family…), it isn’t necessarily helping Nokia’s image as the ultimate [...]
Nokia holds a junkload of competitions around their new devices and services. In fact, at any given moment, there’s probably at least 2 or 3 fun competitions you can enter to win cool Nokia devices and other stuff.

Unfortunately, it can be somewhat difficult to wade through the rest [...]
When WomWorld Nokia asked me to be part of a series of challenges involving 9 other competitors, an N97 Mini, creativity and a friend, I didn’t know that I was signing up for a few weeks of fun, frustration and unforgettable memories. The thing is I should have expected that, as the last time Wom [...]
I have been using my Nokia N97 Mini exclusively for 2 months, but recently the Nokia 6700 Slide and C5 were dropped by the house and I have found myself tempted by the C5′s small form factor and non-touch OS. My SIM Card is suffering the most from this situation as it’s hopping back and [...]
