Hacked My S60 Nokia Phone and Removed the Useless Search On The Main Screen… Sort Of
A topic I haven’t talked about here on the Nokia blog is about hacking S60. I never really understood it or saw the point, but I tried it today to remove that useless search tool on the main display of the Nokia N95 8GB. In essence, hacking your S60-powered phones like the Nokia Nseries and Eseries devices lets you install unsigned applications and apply patches. The bad thing about it is the changes applied by the patch needs to be reapplied every time the phone is restarted.

The Mapsters Take Over My Printer and Fridge
I’m a little irritated finding out I had a brown envelope on our dining table for who knows how long and none of my roommates told me it was mail for me. I just opened it, and it’s got stuff from those Mapsters creatures I previously told you about that gives us guides on the new Nokia Maps 2.0.
Nokia E71 vs Nokia N95 8GB vs Nokia N82 Screen Size Comparison

Unboxing: Nokia E71 Package Contents
Fresh from the mail today, I took pictures while unboxing the Nokia E71 (E71-1 model for Europe) to show you the package contents. Right away I noticed the box was significantly smaller than the one that came with the Nokia N95 8GB. Let’s take a look at what’s inside.
Video: White Nokia E71 Hands On By GearLog
One of the concerns I have with the Nokia E71 is which color to get. The press release photos looks marvelous, while photos I’ve seen make the white keyboard contrasting from the rest of the body make it ugly in my eyes. Thanks to a Nokia E71 video hands-on review by Sascha Segan from Gearlog, I can see up close how the white Nokia E71 looks like around different reflections.
Vlog: Demo of SkyeQuikey on Nokia N95 8GB
On my latest videolog, I’m giving a demo of SkyeQuiKey on the Nokia N95 8GB. It lets you have access to contacts, applications, and bookmarks by typing in the first few letters at the main screen. I found out about this application through Zach Epstein from SIM and BGR. Take a look at how fast it works.

Nokia E71, Which Color Do You Like Better? White or Grey?
I’m interested in finding out from those who are getting the Nokia E71 what color are you picking? The release is coming really soon and it seems that both are going to come out around the same time (although a major distributor tells me the white one is coming sooner than the black one).
