They say “when it rains it pours” and just a few hours after we gave you a detailed rundown of the latest Nimbuzz version with new chat message notification, a very decent Twitter integration, chat history, link recognition and kinetic scrolling, another long-awaited application has turned up: Skype has announced a new beta for their [...]
When I think back to Mobile World Congress 2009, I definitely remember the first unveiling of the Sony Ericsson Satio concept, the bomb that was the Samsung Omnia HD, as well as Nokia’s E75, E55, N86 8MP and Ovi Store announcements. The Nokia 6720 Classic? Not so much, honestly. Nevertheless, I recently had the 6720 [...]
One of the rumors surrounding the unannounced Nokia E71x for AT&T is that it will use S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 2, whereas the unbranded version that is currently available actually uses S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 1. There are a few key differences in Feature Pack 2 as opposed to Feature Pack 1, including [...]
So, what is it about the N85 that makes it better than my N95-3, specifically? Well, there are a few specific features that, on paper, really offer an enhanced experience, and are what sets the N85 apart from other phones, such as the N96 and N79. These features are what made me want the N85 [...]
Let me preface this by saying that, aside from the need for a Windows-based plugin, the online portion of Nokia’s new Maps v3.0 on Ovi is really pretty cool. The site is smooth, uses my Nokia/Ovi account, and it’s pretty. However, the device experience of Nokia Maps v3.0 is a complete and utter fail, in [...]
I’ve already shared a few thoughts on the build quality of the Nokia 6220 Classic with you, but now I want to talk about the interior – S60v3 Feature Pack 2. The Nokia 6220 Classic is the first S60v3 FP2 device (production model, anyways) that I’ve spent any amount of time with, and I have [...]
Eldar at Mobile-Review is a quiet guy who somehow manages to get his hands on all sorts of things before most of the rest of us do. The Nokia N78 is the most recent of these, along with the S60v3 Feature Pack 2 running inside the candybar device. Unfortunately for me (and likely most of [...]
One of the most common complaints that I hear against S60 and Nokia is that of OS updates. When the Nokia N95, the first S60v3 device to sport Feature Pack 1, was released, owners of current S60v3 handsets such as the venerable N73 were in outrage. ‘Why can’t we get Feature Pack 1?!” they screamed, [...]
Eldar from Mobile-Review was lucky enough to score an N78 and has posted a detailed review of S60 3rd FP2, with explanations and a ton of screenshots (I stopped counting at 120). Here is a link to the review in russian as well as a link to the translated Google english version. I breezed through [...]
