The eagle-eyed team at AllAboutSymbian have spotted new firmware updates for both the Nokia N85 and 5530. There was also news recently that the N79 received a firmware update, along with the N96. Now if only the 5800 XpressMusic and N97 could get new firmwares, I’d be a happy camper. The Nokia N85 was updated [...]
I love my Nokia N79, as you probably know. I firmly believe that it is the best overall Nseries device available on the market today, for NAM (the N86 8MP NAM will hopefully replace it). Unfortunately, it has a rather limited internal storage. Normally, this isn’t a big deal – by installing all of my [...]
I’m pumped to let you know that my current favorite Nseries, the N79 NAM, has finally been gifted with a new firmware, v30. I was able to download this firmware over-the-air, but it should also be available through NSU, if you don’t have a solid data package. The Euro variants received this update a few [...]
One of the things that I really love about my Nokia N79 is how informative the homescreen is. At a glance, I have quick access to 6 applications, can quickly see if I have any new emails or upcoming calendar events, and see if there are any WiFi hotspots in range. Unfortunately, I also have [...]
Just a quick reminder for all of the Symbian-Guru readers in the Dallas/Fort Worth area that tomorrow (Tuesday, July 7) evening is the first DFW Symbian Users Meetup! We’ll be meeting at Sherlock’s Baker St. Pub in Arlington at 630p to hang out and geek out over our Symbian-powered smartphones. Drinks are on you, but [...]
Amazon is one of my favorite places to buy phones from. They have awesome service, are quick, and usually have great pricing, too. Today, while doing my daily check for the Nokia N86 8MP (it’s not listed yet, boo), I noticed that the N97 received a major price drop, down to $599.99, shipping directly from [...]
When it rains, it pours, apparently, as a handful of various updates appear to be heading our way in the Symbian world. Let’s start with applications – admittedly, only one application has recently been updated – Nokia’s Multimedia Transfer, for OS X users. Nokia just updated this to include support for the recently launched Nokia [...]

Nokia recently let loose a firmware fiesta, with newly updated firmwares available for the Nokia E75, Nokia E90, and Nokia N79 (the N85 shouldn’t be too far behind this one, either. The Nokia E75 firmware is up to v110.48.125, the E90, old though it may be, was updated to v400.34.93, and the little old N79 [...]
