September 12th, 2008 • Mark Guim • 6 comments • Related • Filed Under

You’ll never catch me wearing the bulky and ugly Nokia BH-604 bluetooth headset outside, but I’m pretty happy using it indoors as a wireless headphone. It was sent to me as a prize for the S60 Smarts Contest.

April 8th, 2008 • Ninong Brown • 1 comment • Related • Filed Under

I know it’s a bit off topic, but I recently purchased Adobe’s new Elements for my Mac. However, I think a review is appropriate. Possessing a cameraphone like the Nokia N95 or the Nokia N82 that can take 5 megapixel pictures and not having a decent program to correct some of the “faults”, either by the user, phone, or situation, is unacceptable. Why shoot pictures without being able to make them even more beautiful? View more after the jump

Previously, I had to reinstall everything. The Nokia N82 was updated on my Mac using VMware Fusion running Windows XP.

Hooray for Mac and Nokia users! We can now try out Device Status from Nokia Beta Labs. It is a self-diagnosis tool that allows you to collect detailed information of S60 device. I did not want to install it before because it was only available in a .exe Windows file format, meaning I had to run Windows XP on my Mac. It is now available as a .sis file where we can simply bluetooth it over to our phone and install.

I used my Apple Macbook Pro to update the Nokia N93i to the latest firmware as of writing this entry, version 30.0.013, using VMware Fusion without any problems. As you may know, Nokia Software Update only works on Windows. If you are a Mac user, you get the benefits of both worlds by being able to run Windows on a Mac.

It’s now even faster to edit and share videos from our phones to the internet thanks to iMovie ‘08. In addition to Nokia having Nseries phones shooting videos at DVD-like quality at 30 frames per second and VGA size (640×480 pixels resolution), you can have good quality videos on the internet in a few minutes. For example is using my Nokia N95 for MarkTV episode 5.

Review: Nokia Media Transfer Beta for Mac

July 14th, 2007 • Mark Guim • 11 comments • Related • Filed Under

I’ll be reviewing Nokia Media Transfer for Mac. It lets you transfer pictures, videos, music, and more between your compatible Nokia device and Mac. I’ve been waiting for this software to come out since I started using Apple. I like the fact that now I don’t need to put my phone in Mass Storage mode just to transfer files and also the feature that lets me transfer random music with user-specified storage amount.
