When the Nokia N8 was officially unveiled, many of us were surprised to see that its 1200mAh battery was listed as being non-user-replaceable. The only other phone I can think of that has a non-user-replaceable battery is the iPhone, and that’s a ‘feature’ that I know many people find frustrating. We didn’t think Nokia was [...]
The issue of the inexplicable lack of Internet Radio and Podcasting from the newer Eseries devices like the E72, E55 and E52 has been raised quite a few times already on Symbian-Guru and on other sites (here, here and here). Hence, a while ago, I wrote a tutorial that explained how to get the original [...]
Guest author Adam Fullerton from iUnlock.com explains in this article how he was able to install a custom ROM on his Samsung Omnia HD (i8910 HD) that reduces background processes, allowing him to run 50 different processes simultaneously. Quite impressive! Like most i8910 owners, I am patiently impatiently waiting for Samsung’s promised update which will [...]
Admittedly, I’ve never really done email on my phone before Nokia Messaging came around. Sure, I’d installed Profimail and others, just to check out, but I usually promptly removed them, not seeing the need.

Sometime yesterday, Nokia pushed out an update for the Nokia N97 through the Software Update application built into the phone. This app, called Memory Reorganizer, apparently….well….reorganizes your internal memory, freeing up a few MBs here and there on the N97, their flagship device. It’s interesting that they released this as a standalone update and not [...]
One of the major letdowns of the new devices in the Eseries line, like the Nokia E52, E55 and E72 is the lack of two main software that many of you use constantly: Podcasts and Internet Radio. I’ve covered the vanishing of important applications from the factory firmware of several Nokia Symbian handsets, but until [...]
Windows 7 is now readily available, but not all companies have updated their applications to run properly in this new operating system, surprisingly. Unsurprisingly, Nokia is included in this group, as their Nokia Software Update tool refuses to work properly in Windows 7, under normal circumstances. This makes it quite difficult to update your device’s [...]
Ever discovered a cool application or game while browsing the internet through your computer, only to find that you either have to type the full URL on your phone’s browser to download it, either download it on the computer then worry about transfering it to your phone? Well, I guess you’re not the only one. [...]
Recently, Google has been improving their Sync service for most mobile platforms, including Symbian. They first made it possible to sync Contacts and Calendar then they also included Push Gmail in the process. Both of these provide instantaneous sync, and rely on the ActiveSync protocol, or Microsoft Exchange, to get information from and to your [...]
