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 [...]
After giving you enough time to digest the Software review and walkthroughs of the Sony Ericsson Satio, I take a turn today to look at my personal opinion on the device, and specifically the things that I hate the most about it. Keep in mind, as well, that these observations are coming from a prototype [...]
One of the things that I nearly always have with me, if I’m carrying my gadget bag, is my Proporta USB charger. I have the old one, with a massive 3400mAh battery, and it’s simply phenomenal. The main reason that I love this thing is because it actually charges the phone so fast that I [...]
One of the complaints I often hear about Symbian-powered devices is that the battery indicator is frequently inaccurate, often dropping several bars at once, or simply not showing correct power levels. A new application from Capree, called iON BatteryTimer, aims to change that by offering detailed power statistics for S60 3rd Edition smartphones, with support [...]

For the past 6 months or so that I have been following this 24/7-connected lifestyle, I have grown accustomed to checking and dealing with my email [...]
I’ve been using the N96 since I got back from my vacation, and have some thoughts that I wanted to share, specifically in response to Whatleydude’s post last week. The Nokia N96 I’m using is a Euro version, with firmware v11.101. Apparently, this firmware is only available through NSU, and not through FOTA. I’ll agree [...]
One of my hesitations around using applications such as Nokia viNe is battery usage. The application is designed to track your movement, as well as photos, videos, and music you listen to while on a trip or a walk or something. I (and most of you, I’m sure) would be most likely to use such [...]
One of the biggest complaints thus far with the Nokia N96 is that it’s powered by the embarassing 950mAh battery that the original N95-1 was. However, with so few actual real-life use scenarios, I have to put quite a bit of weight behind this report at AllAboutSymbian from guest contributor Nick, who actually has an [...]
