S60-powered smartphones get new features added with every new release. Features such as Audio Themes, photo geotagging, a touch-sensitive ‘Naviwheel’, and countless others. For power users who spend hours with a new phone checking out every nook and cranny in the operating system, this is great. We love discovering new things, and discovering new, so-called [...]
A new firmware for the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic has found its way onto NSU, v20.0.012, bringing something I requested from the beginning – native geotagging of your photos. This new firmware re-enables the feature that allows the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic to save location information from the phone’s GPS receiver to your photos, so that you [...]
One of the things that really annoyed me about the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic was the lack of geotagging in the camera. The phone has a GPS receiver, and there’s really no reason it shouldn’t be able to automatically tag photos with location information. Apparently, at one point, Nokia agreed with me, according to this user [...]
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 smaller announcements made in conjunction with the Nokia N79 and N85 was that of a new application, dubbed ‘Nokia LifeviNe’ (we’re not sure why the N is capitalized). From the information and screenshots we were given at the launch, it looked like just a prettier, finally renamed version of Nokia SportsTracker. While [...]
The Nokia Beta Labs have been really busy lately, updating several apps a few weeks ago, and today announcing a few more things, as well. Congrats to Tommi for keeping up with all this! Today we received an update for the Nokia Location Tagger and Nokia Text Messenger apps, as well as a new app, [...]
While we still haven’t answered our eternal question of “where the ‘eck did they get this guy?“, we are not complaining because we could use some laughs these days. In case you missed our first post about Stavros, here’s a quick recap. This is a project sponsored by Nseries WOMWorld, which is meant to promote [...]
Steve’s got the latest episode of the Smartphones Show ready to rock and roll, and this time he’s taking a look at geo-tagging, which is a new feature making its way into the latest S60v3 handsets, where the camera uses the phone’s built-in GPS receiver to add location data to the EXIF of the image [...]
When the virtual launch event site was made available, the most intriguing part of the schedule was the “12:00 Meet Stavros” one. I discussed it with Ricky who pointed that it might be a Product Manager, then we agreed that it wasn’t likely to be that. 12:00 Barcelona time came half an hour ago, and [...]
