Sometime developers have great ideas and realize them into software for our Symbian-powered phones. Most of the time they come out great, but other times they fail miserably. I told you previously about the Battery Extender By Ravensoft and raised the question about whether the application really did improve battery life as it promised, and [...]
If I didn’t own an S60 device today, I would’ve owned a UIQ one. Yes, that’s a fact, and I have considered many times jumping on the UIQ bandwagon. I was even this close to getting a P1i, but eventually I didn’t. UIQ has always been a mystery to me, a world so similar to [...]
It’s been 10 months since I first wrote about it in October 2007. At the time, I was so excited that StyleTap was going to work on an S60 client for their application that I almost had a heart attack. But through the 10 months (and a few days) of wait, my anticipation and eagerness [...]
One of the bad things about living in Texas is that my time is off from Europe, so I’m usually the last one to hear about massively big announcements, such as the one that Nokia made earlier today. Nokia will be purchasing the remaining shares of Symbian, and bringing the entire company under Nokia control/ownership. [...]
As you know, I recently reviewed the Sony Ericsson W960i, a Symbian-based UIQ handset with a touchscreen display and 8GB internal flash memory. It’s a Walkman-branded device, which somewhat compares to Nokia’s Nseries product line, being more consumer-oriented. You can imagine how elated I was to discover that the W960i sports an Active Standby mode, [...]

However, given that the handset is based on the Symbian OS, I thought it would be interesting to compare it against the Nokia N95-3, which is my current primary handset. The W960 features 8GB [...]
I have been waiting for it eagerly myself for a while now, since Astraware first announced it was developing for UIQ then started looking for S60 and UIQ beta testers. Well, it’s finally here. Astraware has just announced its first S60 and UIQ game, and it’s not one game, but an 8-pack of boardgames, titled [...]
The Russians are at it, again! Well not all Russians but Eldar Murtazin, the man behind Mobile-Review. After bringing us exclusive and detailed reviews of S60 3rd Edition FP2 and the Nokia N78, Eldar is striking again, with a Home Run should we add. Within 3 days, he has posted full detailed reviews of the [...]
Click To Play Wow, a week later and I *finally* am able to show off the cool things that I’ve been waiting for. I’ve got three fun devices in my glovebox for this episode, so you’ll definitely want to tune in to see. Feel free to leave any questions on the new stuff in the [...]
