Google Found the Seven Dwarfs on the Nokia N95
Google released a search application for S60 last month and it has been very useful. I just press the pencil button on the Nokia N95 home screen, then a Google search form shows up ready for my query. Let me tell you how it helped me and my classmates remember the names of the seven dwarfs.
As you may or may not know, I’m currently in nursing school. One of the requirements other than really hard tests, is a clinical duration where we actually work with patients.
Last week, at a clinical post-conference, my classmates and I were telling each other how sleepy and grumpy we were after the test the day earlier. Someone was also sneezing. We then laughed that we just named some of the seven dwarfs with Snow White. However, we had trouble naming all of them.
Someone saw me use my Nokia N95 to look up drug medications earlier and asked me if I can also look up the dwarfs’ names online. I definitely could. I pressed the pencil key, typed “seven dwarves”, pressed ok, then wait for the results.
Google even corrected me and suggested the “seven dwarfs” instead. I clicked on the third result and found all the names of the seven dwarfs: Dopey, Grumpy, Doc, Happy, Bashful, Sneezy, and Sleepy!

Hello there,
Nokia N95 is always been my dream phone, but when we see that Nokia N96 is on doarstep, I dont think N95 will be now more on top.

Tried the pencil button on home screen but didn’t work is that a S60 function or do i need to download mobi to recreate a google search on home screen?

@garth it’s an application you have to install. Go to mobile.google.com to install it.
