While Nokia has always done decently in the U.S. market with its boring S40-powered featurephones, it has struggled to get the major carriers to carry its Symbian-powered smartphones. There are currently 3 Symbian-powered smartphones available from AT&T, which is a good improvement, but T-Mobile is the other GSM carrier, and there’s not much of anything [...]
One of the shining features of S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2 and S60 5th Edition is Access Point ‘Destinations’, which is a baffling name for Access Point Prioritization, which is another baffling way to say that the phone can automatically try to connect via WiFi first, and then fall back to 3G/EDGE if no [...]
Truphone is one of the leading MOIP (Mobile VOIP) services for Symbian-powered phones, and they’ve recently expanded to support other platforms, as well. However, they’re not quick to forget that it all started with Symbian, and so they’ve recently updated to support the newest Symbian-powered smartphones. Truphone is now available on 11 additional models, including [...]

First he unboxed it on a video with some intriguing music in the background, which you can watch by clicking on the post’s [...]
Truphone is a MOIP service that currently operates on S60-powered cell phones. Using WiFi or 3G (or EDGE, if you really need to) you can make and receive calls over the internet. You pay per minute, which means that while international calls are much cheaper than using your mobile operator, domestic calls typically are not [...]
I’m really pumped to let you know that JoikuSpot Light has passed through its beta stages and is now up to v2.0, a full production release. If you’re not aware, JoikuSpot Light is an application that allows your WiFi-equipped S60 device to essentially become a WiFi router, using the cellular connection as a data feed. [...]
Yeah, that’s right, hot on the heels of the hot announcement of Psiloc Connect yesterday, we’ve scored 3 license keys to offer up to Symbian-Guru readers, as a thanks. What’s that, you want to know how you can get one? It’s easy, just leave a comment telling us what device you plan to use Psiloc [...]
