Most people who are Apple fans claim the minimalist approach to user interfaces for why they love the fruity company’s products. For me, the same is one of my biggest complaints – I find the whole experience far too plain and boring. However, if you’re a fan of Apple’s design cues, then this new theme [...]
I don’t normally care for themes that make Symbian-powered devices look like other devices. I mean, if I wanted that other device, I’d have bought one (that includes the iPhone, Android, Windows Mobile, etc). That being said, when the Apple iPad was announced and shown off, I really liked the background image. It’s a great [...]
One of the things that the Ovi Store desperately needed when it launched was a healthy amount of freeware applications. The team has since done a great job of getting my favorite freewares listed in the store, including Mobbler, Pixelpipe, Best Screensnap, TuneWiki, Qik, and others, but the themes section of the Ovi Store was [...]
We’ve all seen the Symbian^3 UI walkthroughs, and are excited to see some new devices running the latest version of the Symbian platform. However, it will likely be closer to Christmas before the first devices start to hit the market, so we’re going to have to wait until then. However, luckily, we won’t have to [...]

We love Christmas on Symbian-Guru, we love its spiritual meaning as well as its real world manifestation [...]

On Symbian-Guru, we love great quality themes. They’re what make us want to look at our phone’s screen every day, what help us fall back in love with our old device when we can’t afford a new one, and when they’re exquisitely made, they even make us feel like we bought a new phone all [...]
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 [...]
