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 [...]
In case you’re not a geek, yesterday Apple gave more details on iPhone OS v3.0, and announced its new iPhone 3G S. Lame name aside, this new iPhone offers some new hardware updates that allow it to compete closely with the Nokia N97 – it now includes a 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera (no flash) with [...]
Nokia has quietly updated its Multimedia Transfer application for Macs, which allows Nokia’s phones to integrate with Apple’s iLife suite, including iPhoto and iTunes. The latest version, v1.4, is still technically in beta form, but adds a new user interface for the settings field, and also allows you to choose the folder/playlist/album to sync for [...]
Several sites are reporting that there is an iTunes application coming for Symbian-powered cell phones. The rumor holds that the application will be available for most, but not all S60 3rd Edition handsets, and that it will include the ability to browse and purchase songs from the iTunes Music Store.

I might be out of line on this one (catch that?), and I’m sure I’ll get flamed endlessly, but I thought this video was more than appropriate on such a day as this. Welcome to your Friday, and as usual, we here at Symbian-Guru like to have a bit of fun on Fridays, before delving [...]
In Part 1 of this great post experiment, I exposed a summary of the replies I got from the Jaiku community concerning the influence of the N95 on Nokia’s mobile landscape. In this part, I will stop for a moment to look at these answers, as well as voice my personal opinion. The one thing [...]
This is something I said when it was announced, and I’ll stick by it, especially because I’ve recently figured out the real issue (at least in my mind). I’m sure you’ve read recently where Apple is now prodding the record labels for the ability to sell all-you-can-eat subscriptions to the iTunes store in the form [...]
Today we are gifted with another episode of Steve Litchfield’s Smartphones Show, this time featuring a general collection of great news and useful tips. He also has his hands on a Sony Ericsson W960i, which looks to be a possibly successful UIQ smartphone. I’d still like to get my hands on a UIQ device for [...]
The second part to my previous post telling what the Finnish giant needs to pick up from Cupertino turns the tables, and offers Apple a few things that I think they should learn from Nokia in regards to mobile phone. When comparing two different OS’s, I think it’s important to point out the strengths and [...]
