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 [...]
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 [...]
After reading our post this morning, Nokia must have felt bad for the N85, because they went ahead and released a new firmware for this dual-slider that brings the coveted homescreen email integration. The new firmware, v20.175, brings a host of new features, the most important, of course, being notification of new email right there [...]

It’s been a busy Easter vacation around the Dotsisx-land lately, but that didn’t stop me from snatching two great Nokia devices for a short trial. Everyone, please welcome the Nokia E75 and the Nokia N85! I’ve already had my hands on the N85 when it was first announced and I’ve repeated quite a couple of [...]
The Nokia N79 and the Nokia N85 are, at least as far as marketing is concerned, mid-level S60 smartphones. The model numbers give that away, but also the feature sets. They’re basically identical smartphones, both bringing S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2, 5 megapixel autofocus cameras with dual-LED flash, a microSD card slot, compact form [...]
Merry Christmas, to me from Nokia! You already know that I’ve got the 5800 XpressMusic, but PseudoFinn just got his yesterday, as well, so expect more coverage of Nokia’s first S60v5 device here at Symbian-Guru! I also just got a great surprise in the mail, in the form of a Nokia N79 NAM! I knew [...]
Next up in our look at the Nokia N85 is the camera. As you know, the base camera is the same 5 megapixel autofocus module with the Carl Zeiss optics, though there are a few key aspects that are improved. Among the improvements are a Dual-LED flash, built-in geotagging, and a manual lens cover. Compared [...]
