BETA: Ovi Store Update for Nokia N8
An interesting item showed up in software update for my Nokia N8. It says BETA: Ovi Store update. The description says it is “optional and needed only if Store stopped working after update from PS1 to Belle SW.” It’s weird because my Nokia N8 doesn’t have the Belle update yet. It’s running Anna.

Firefox for Maemo Beta 5 Released But Slower and Less Accurate than Default Browser
Firefox for Maemo beta 5 became available for download tonight, so get your Nokia N900 and install it now! Oh wait… the device is not available to the public yet. I wouldn’t get mad though. I found beta 5 to be slower than the default browser and less accurate at displaying some sites. For example, The Nokia Blog looks ugly on it.
