We were one of the firsts to announce the availability of the Skype Mobile Beta almost 2 years ago, and it has continued to be one of our most popular posts, even to this day. Today, however, the Skype team finally announced the availability of a native Symbian application, specially designed for touchscreen smartphones like [...]
Last year, at Nokia World 2008, I stumbled across the somewhat hidden demo of a home stereo component that Nokia was working on, dubbed Nokia Home Music. I pressured the guy into a full video demo (you can watch that here), and then continuously tried to get one for review. After not being able to [...]
Nokia has announced this morning that the E72, its followup to the successful E71, is now available in stores. This QWERTY-equippped non-touchscreen smartphone is powered by S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 2, and includes built-in WiFi, as well as a 5 megapixel autofocus camera with a single-LED flash. The E72 also sports an optical d-pad, [...]
Telexy Networks has had some hard times, specifically back when Nokia laid claim to its flagship application (and has yet to do anything with it, as far as I know). Fortunately for the Symbian community, the folks at Telexy aren’t easily knocked, and have announced their upcoming lineup of connection-oriented applications, along with a special [...]

However, they’re not quick to forget that it all started with Symbian, and so they’ve recently updated to support the newest Symbian-powered smartphones. Truphone is now available on 11 additional models, including [...]
From the same developers behind the MemoryUp Pro, Memory and Ram Optimizer, eMobiStudio yet again releases an application which seems to do wonders for your phone. Going down the same route as their other product, it is a Java application with the promises to speed up your network access, whether you are connected to HSDPA, [...]
We’ve just gotten word that the Nokia N97 has started shipping, with availability expected soon in 75 countries around the world. I believe this is the widest launch availability in the history of Nokia. Typically, phones are launched in a few countries here and there, with more added on a gradual timeline. They haven’t specified [...]
Back in November we brought you the news about SymSMB which was an application that offered you to share your files and folders between a computer and your mobile handset as well as streaming music directly from your computer. SymSMB was later acquired by Nokia and we haven’t heard much of it since. Telexy, the [...]
