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 [...]
Last week, we announced the Gus Hansen’s Million Dollar Poker for N-Gage caption contest, in which we asked you to come up with a creative caption for a screenshot from the new poker game for Nokia’s N-Gage gaming platform. In a Symbian-Guru record, we had 216 entries, which is awesome. Many of you took the [...]
It’s been a while since we’ve had a good contest here at Symbian-Guru, and we love giving stuff away, so today we’re announcing the newest contest, sponsored by Nokia and N-Gage once again. We’re giving away a Gus Hansen Million Dollar Poker prize pack, including a Nokia N96, N-Gage branded T-shirts, Hoodie, and a free [...]
Late last night (at least for me here in Texas), Nokia lived up to its word and released firmware v11.0.021 for the Nokia N97. I was able to update my Euro N97 over-the-air this morning, while laying in bed, which was rather nice. To download the update over WiFi or cellular data, simply type *#0000# [...]
Since the introduction of Nokia Messaging, one of the biggest complaints is that Nseries owners cannot get their email inboxes shown on their Active Standby. This limitation stems from Nokia’s beliefs about the difference between Eseries and Nseries, particularly that Nseries owners didn’t care about email as much. However, as with most of the other [...]
One thing that we know about Nokia is that they like to give stuff away, and they like to use minisites to do so. At any given moment, there are likely a handful of such minisites put out by Nokia, ready to take some sort of information from you, in return for a chance to [...]
Whether it’s due to lackluster sales, poor reviews, or the pending launch of the N97, with its 1500mAh battery, Amazon has dropped the price of the Nokia N96 NAM down to a more reasonable $549.99. The Nokia N96 is, for better or worse, Nokia’s current flagship Nseries, packing a 5 megapixel autofocus camera, dual-LED flash, [...]
Carphone Warehouse, in the U.K., is now offering the Nokia N96 for free with an 18-month contract. Of course, that’s not really news – but the fact that they’re offering an all-black version certainly is. This all-black N96 hasn’t been officially announced by Nokia, though it appeared in the press photos that were published at [...]
We have already covered the N96 quite extensively here on Symbian-Guru, with thoughts from the Guru, Mrs Guru, and yours truly, but as *the* flagship S60 handset from Nokia, we probably didn’t give it as much spotlight as it deserves, and for good reason. The last time I mentioned the N96, I said that the [...]
