How Nokia Stands Against the 2009 Standard
I did a rant about Nokia going off course. It was also the last time I wrote a post on this blog, I’ve been drawing blanks on what to write for some time. But after nearly a year has passed, what kind of changes have we seen? Lets explore what new things have been introduced and how they stand against the 2009 standard.
New from Beta Labs: Ovi Lifecasting, Ovi Maps, Ovi Communities
Right after the Nokia World keynote this morning, Nokia Beta Labs put out three new apps for the Nokia N97. First, Ovi Maps, an update to Nokia Maps. Then Lifecasting and Communities, social location focused applications with a heavy focus on Facebook.
Nokia BH-703 Review
I opened up my Nokia BH-703 today and was instantly blown away with it. The sound quality is really top notch and the design is really elegant.
What’s New in Nokia Messaging
Hotmail access was restored Thursday morning in Nokia Messaging. HTML and S60v5 support were announced last month. I don’t like the HTML implementation much. It’s confusing browsing around an email when there are large images. I’ve yet to try it out on a touchscreen (I have the N97 on pre-order), so I don’t know how different it might be.
Nokia Chat Revived
As some of you may recall, when Nokia Chat launched around August of last year, an enterprising Howard Forums member wrote a small bot that would echo messages sent to it to other users who had sent the bot a message, forming an ersatz IRC channel. Unfortunately, this bot was pulled offline within a few months, and the thrill of a new Nokia service had worn off long before then with users drifting back to the more mainstream chat networks such as MSN and Y!IM.
Three Cities, Three S60 Meetups For April 09

5 Nokia Phones I Want to See
Over at HOFO, Pink Jazz posed the question: What would be your own ideal S60 phone? I was halfway through making a reply when a bunch of thoughts popped into my head. So I came up with ideas for 5 phones I’d like to see.
3 Apps For Mobile Blogging With S60
It seems that mobile blogging is more popular than ever these days and I’m glad we have quite a few choices. Among the multitude of weblog platforms that exist out there, it seems like Wordpress and Google’s Blogger are the favorites among Nokia and Symbian bloggers and boy are we glad. First, lets mention some of the players in this arena.
