One of the more curious Ovi services that Nokia has released, in my opinion, is Ovi Chat (and the accompanying Ovi Contacts app). It’s incredibly under-utilized, both by Nokia and by its target consumers. I’ve noticed fewer and fewer of my blogging friends being logged in, and almost none of my Nokia contacts seem to [...]

We’d like to help you beef up your Symbian-powered smartphone anyways, so we’re having a two-day Mobile Heist sale in our Symbian-Guru App Store!

Nimbuzz is one of my favorite instant messaging clients for Symbian-powered devices for several reasons. For one, I get a Nimbuzz username and password, and all my accounts are stored there. That means, whenever I get a new phone, or reset an existing one, I only have to login once, rather than manually logging in [...]
When the Nokia Messaging IM Beta was announced, we quickly discovered that it’s little more than a java application that is artificially limited to the Nokia E75. While any Symbian-powered device from the past….well….forever….can run Java applications, the Nokia Messaging team thought it’d be fun to cut everyone else off. The good news is that [...]

Nimbuzz is a mobile messenger application which allows you to get access to the most popular services such as GTalk, MSN Messenger, AIM, Facebook and Twitter in addition to letting you perform VOIP calls with services [...]
In addition to Ovi Maps leaving the Nokia Beta Labs, Ovi Contacts has just been updated, finally offering support for S60v5 phones such as the 5800 XpressMusic and N97 (has anyone tried it on the Samsung i8910?). If you’re the lucky owner of a Nokia N97, you even get more functionality, as the Ovi Contacts [...]
We knew a while back that Nokia Messaging (which will likely get renamed to Messaging on Ovi, and then Ovi Messaging) would eventually support Instant Messaging protocols such as Yahoo!, Windows Live Messenger, and AIM. Today, the first step is available for lucky owners of the Nokia E75 from the Beta Labs. Nokia Messaging for [...]
Fring has released a new version of their popular IM client, v3.4. New features include the ability to combine various profiles of your friends to create a dynamic profile that lists all of a person’s entities together. This way, if you have Jonathan Greene’s Skype, Gtalk, Last.FM, and Twitter account added, you can lump those [...]
If you’re on Twitter, and you’re not following@NokiaMessaging, you should be – they give away lots of cool tidbits. Earlier today, they posted a link to the promo video that plays during any conference where Nokia Messaging is being shown off – such as at CTIA, or CES, or the like. The first part of [...]
