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.

Let’s take a look at the screen sizes of the Nokia E71 with the Nokia N95 8GB and the Nokia N82 using side-to-side photos. We all know they use the same resolution size, 240×320 (or 320×240), but the actual screen size on the Nokia E71 is 2.36 inches compared to 2.8 on the Nokia N95 8GB and 2.4 on the Nokia N82. Pictures do better when comparing sizes, so let’s take a look.

I received an Open To Anything goody bag in the mail today. Open To Anything is a humorous site that features the Nokia N95 8GB. There’s a key chain, mints, pen marker, and a USB stick. Read on for the USB contents.

What a relaxing vacation! I’m back from a week cruising the Caribbean. My first post back is a video from Stingray City at Cayman Islands captured with the Nokia N95 8GB. It is basically a shallow area in the middle of the ocean where tourists can swim with lots and lots of stingrays. Check it out.

I finally found the best car mount for our Nokia phones. It is the ProClip kit. I was already disappointed with cheap windshield mounts I bought from eBay as they kept falling off. The ProClip solution is specific to your car and device, so the fit is perfect. Take a look at my review.
